H. SMITH & CO , RE A D rT 1, well known to Doctors and to Ladies that Women are subject to nnmvrous diseases pe culiar to their sex—such as Suppression of the Menses, Whites, Painful M’nthly ‘Periods,’ Rheu matism of the Hack and Womb, Irregular Men struation, Hem or r h age, or Kxeessive ‘Flow, and Prolapsus Uterior Fall ing or the Womb. These diseases havesel dom been treated successfully., The profession lias sought dilligeutiy for some remedy that wo*ld enalde them to treat these diseases with success. At last, that remedy has been discovered by one of the most skilful physicians in the State of Georgia. The remedy is Bradfield’s Female Regulator. It is purely vegetable, and Is put up iu Atlan ta, by BRADFIELD A CO. It will purify the blood and strengthen the system, relieve irritation of the kidneys, and is a perfect specific for all the above diseases; as certain a cure as Quinine is in Chills and Fevers. For a history of diseases, and certificates of its worderful cures, the reuder is referred to the wrapper around the bottle. Every bottle war ranted to give satisfaction or money refunded. LaGbange, Ga., March 23,1870. BRADFIELD A CO., ATLANTA, GA.: Dear Sirs: I take pleasure in stating that 1 have used, for the last twenty years, the medi cine vou arc putting up, known as DR. J. BRA D FI ELD’S FEMALE REGULATOR, and con sider it the best combination ever gotten to gether for the diseases for which it is recom mended. I have been familiar with the pre scription both as a practitioner of medicine and in domestic practice, and can honestly say that I consider it a boon to suffering females, and can but hope that every lady in our whole land, who mav be suffering in any way peculiar to their sex', may be able to procure a bottle, that their sufferings may not only be relieved, but that thev inav he restored to health & strength. With my kindest regards, lam, respectfully, W. B. FERRELL, M. D. We, the undersigned Druggists, take pleasure in commeuding to the trade. Dr. J. Bradfleld’s Female Regulator—believing it to be a good and reliable remedy for the diseases for which he recommends itl VV. A. LANNDELL, PEMBERTON, WILSON, TAYLOR & CO. RED WINE A FOX, W. C. TANARUS, A WSH E, Atlanta, Ga. W. ROOT A SON, Marietta, Ga. DR. PR HITT’S Celebrated Liver Medicine. It is purely vegetable, and will act upon the Liver and Kidneys as promptly as Calomel and Buchu, without any danger of salivation or de struction of the bones. Parties taking the medicine need not fear get ting wet, or any other reasonable exposure. Symptoms of Liver Disease: Headache, Dull Feeling or the Blues, Sour Stom ach, Sick or Nervous Headache, Heartburn, In digestion or Dyspepsia, Bad or Bitter Taste in the Mouth, the'skiu has a thick, rough feeling, and is darker than usual, Costiveuess, Melan choly Feelings, Cramps, ( old Feet, Colic, Dys entery, or Diarrhusa, Chills and Fever, and Piles. In fact, where the Liver is out of order, you are liable to every disease that is not conta gious. Prophitt’s Liver Medicine, if taken properly, will prevent and cure any disease resulting from a deranged liver. It will regulate its functions and thus cure all diseases caused by the failure of its healthy ac tion. It has been used for a great number of years, ami lias given universal satisfaction. There is no brother or sou claiming to have the origionnl recipe. It is put up in both Pow der and Fluid form. Fairburn, Ga., Sept. 4, 1868. DR. O. S. PROPHITT: Sir: My wife has been an invalid for fifteen years. Doctors all agreed she had “Liver Dis ease.” In connection with their practice she used various and noted remedies, none of which seemed to do any good. Sometime ago I procu red a bottle of your “Liver Medicine,” of your agent here, C. A. Harvey, which being given ac cording to directions, has affected a comulete cure. Respectfully, Ac., GEO. L. THOMAS. CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sent. 24,1868. I have used Dr. O. S. Prophitt’s Liver Medi cine as a tonic, and found it to be powerful and efficacious, it is excellent for functional de rangement of the Liver or constipation of the bowels; in most cases superceding the necessity of a regular course of medicine. E. J. MEYN Alt DIE, Pastor Tryon-str. C’li. Marion County, Texas, Aug. 1, 1869. DR. O. S. PRO PH ITT: Dear Sir: I write you this to inform you that 1 have been troubled a great deal with indiges tion, but after using one bottle of your Liver Medicine, I find great relief. I cheerfully re commend it as u good Family Medicine, and feel confident that it is good for anything for which it claims to be an antidote. Very respectfully, DICK LOCKETE. Dr. Prophitt’s Dysentery Cordial, Is one of the most valuable compounds now put up for Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Infantum, or Cholera Morbus. This medicine lias been in use for years, and gives nniuersal satisfaction. The most delicate child may take it with im punity. Covington, Ga.,Nov. 9,1867. Dll. PROPH ITT: Having a severe attack of Dvsentery during the past summer, 1 was induced to use your Dv sentery Cordial, and derived therefrom immedi ate and permanent relief. It gives me pleasure to recommend this remedy to all who may be so attacked, believing that, should the directions be followed, relief would surely be obtained.— Truly, Ac. O. 8. PORTER. Cuss at a, Texas, iB6O. DR. PROPIIITT: Dear Sir: Your Liver Medicine and Pain Kill It is a complete success. J. L. WHITTLE. West Point, Ga., Ang. 11, 1869. This is to certify that I have used l)r. O. S. Prophitt’s Liver Medicine myself and in my family, for twelve months or more, and I unhes itatingly sav that I believe it one of the best Family Medicines in use. M. T. WALKER. PROPHITT’S Pain Kill It. This is the celebrated medicine that run Perry Davis’ pain Killer out of the market, wherever it was sold. Davis made l’rophitt change the name from Pain Killer to PAIN KILL IT. For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, or pain of any kind it lias no equal. For Cuts, Bruises, Bums, or old Sores, it is the best thing you can use as a dressing. For Snake Bites or Stings of Poisonous Insects, it is a perfect ANTIDOTE. It is good for Colic, Colds, Coughs, or Bowel Complaints. Its name indicatesits nature fully. It is truly DEATH to pain. M-ttuu fact tired and sold by BRADFIELD A CO., Atlanta, Ga., and for sale by all druggists. Dooly Bounty, Ga., April, 1867. This is to certify that 1 was confined to the house, and most of the time to my bed, and suf fering the greatest agony imaginable with Rheu matism, for five months, and after trying every available remedy, with no relief. I 'was cured with two bottles of Dr. 0. S. Prophitt’s Anodyne Pain Kill It; each costing fifty cents oaly.' It relieved me almost instantly. I therefore re commend it in the highest degree to others suf fering from similar disease. I can say that it is one of the finest Family Medicines now out, cer tain. Yours, truly, W. A. FOREHAND. Dooly County, Ga., Oct. 27,1867 DR. O. S. PROPH ITT: I have, din ing the last eigeteen months, used your Pain Kill It, and I consider it unequaled by anything for pain in the head, breast, back or side: and for colic nothing gives relief half so | quick as your Anodyne Pain Kill. It is doing much good in the community in o I ther families as well as my own. Yours, Ac., I>. T. FOREHAND. Newton Factory, Ga., Nov., 1867. I>R.

Cubebs extracted by displacement with spirits spirits obtained from Junip r Berries: very little sugar is use i, and a small proportion of spirit. It is more palateable than any now in use. Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a light color. It is a plant that emits its fragrance ; the action of a flame destroys this (its active •■rlncipl*,) !e ving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of ingredients. The Buehu in my preparation predomi mtes; the smallest, quantity of the other ingredients are added, to prevent fermentation ; upon nspec tion, it will be found rot to be a Tincture, as made in Pbarmaeopoea, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore can be used in cases where fever '>r inflammation ex ist.

Light:: InCHT: fiifi “That seat is engaged,” sakl a pretty young maid. As I entered a carnage one day; “To vrhomr “A young gentleman,” pouting, she said, “Then, where is his baggage, I pray?” Her ruby lips opened like rosebuds iu spring. Her face iu deep blushes w as dyed, As muttering crossly, “Y ou hateful old thiug. Why, I am ids baggage,” she cried. Marrying A Fortune. ; ‘Yes, I’ll do it, Ralph, even if she is a scraggy, worthless, hairless, dried up, yellow, vinegar-faced old maid. I’ll marry her—or rather her fortune!”; and so saying he leaned back in his chair, aud commenced puffing away as coolly at his Cigar, as though marrying were the most commonplace, uninter esting affair ever dreamed of. “You speak quite confidently, young man,*’ returned his companion, “per haps the lady in question won’t have you. Don’t be too conceited, if you have been culled irresistible.” “Fiddlesticks! I guess my uncle’s fortune was the most irresistible part to the New Yotk btlles, and I am cer tain now that my ‘great expectations have passed away, there isn’t two of them ever remembered associating with me. I tell you, Ralph, love is all moonshine! a mere creature of the fancy—for I have never seen a pretty girl yet that could set my heart a pal pitating. Money is what a poor brief less lawyer wants, not love; it’s a great deal more substantial, too.” “Don’t doubt it; but I wouldn’t be tied to an old vixen for any considera tion,” responded Ralph; “and in my optuiou, Bart, you are a fool, if you heave yourself away. There, now, that advice is free gratis—no fee ask ed—only do tell me the whole story. “I can do that in a few words.— About a week ago I saved a fine-look ing but gouty old gentleman from be ing upset out of his carriage on Broad way. He was profuse iu his thanks, learned my name, said he knew me by reputation, told me he was wealthy, with but one child, a daughter, and if I would come down to Sea View, where be intended to pass a few weeks, he would make a match between me and her. I modestly suggested that the lady in question might object } but he insisted that she could not; she was devoted to him, and heart wholo. ihere it is, verbatim. I then made inquiries of a friend what kind of a girl Mr. Lafourn’s daughter was, aud he told me she was a scraggy old maid. I have her in my mind’s eye, but it’s no drawback. I’ll marry for money, and let ner afterwards take to her cats, just as she does now. That’s all. lam too lazy to work. And he relapsed into a profound si lence, wondering secred) what time on the morrow Mr. Lafouru and his daugh ter would arrive. “There, pa, you dear old goose ! lis ten to the description of your Nell!’ exclaimed pretty little Nelly Lafouru, arranging the curt ins so that the old gentleman could overhear the conver sation on the piazza between the two young gentlemen just mentioned. “Confound his impudence,” growled the old man, in a rage, bringing his cane down lustily; “I’d like to see him get my darling, the heartless wretch, and my money, even if he has got you mixed up with your aunt Lucille 1” “Slightly mixed up, isn’t it pa ? But, after ail, how much the picture is like her?” aud she burst into a merry laugh, that caused a dozen dimples to play hide-*iud-seek around her cheeks and lips. “He may be blesiod 1 I’ll send for him this moment, and I’il—l’ll—-I’ll cane him!” almost shouted the irate old gentleman. “No, indeed, you won’t, pa! you let me manage him, won’t you, pa? Let him come—let him imagine Lucille is your daughter and heiress, and I your niece, wiih no expectations. *V e'U see how he w.ll carry himself.” On the next day Mr. Albertine Gow er waited upon . .r. Lafouru, and was formally introduced to Miss Lucille Gower. He inquired after the old gent’* health very ufleetionately, and soon became quite engrossed appar eutly, iu the conversation that was started, but secretly he was eyeing his intended bride, and he confessed to himself that the enthusiastic descrip tion he had given his friend Ralph did not belie her, or scarcely do her justice. Just then the duor opened, and a graceful young lady, with a great abundance of golden curls aud very large eyes walked in. “My- —my niece, Mr. Gower; Mr. Gower, Milte Lev,” observed Mr. La •‘ourn; and Miss Lee acknowledged it Editors and Proprietors. with a slight but nevertheless graceful bow. Mr. lower was enraptured. and the contrast only made i»i# brideexpectant inure ridieui >ns; lamever, he deter mined to act his part, and, us a chance presented itself, he whispered in mod ulated tones to Miss Lucille that “he hoped to become bettor acquai ted with her,” though he hated himself for it in three minutes after, when he saw Miss Lee’s mischievous loving eyes resfing upon him, and real zed that she heard him, too. Lay after day be called, and pro" portionately he fell in love with laugh ing Nell, and fell out with Miss Lucil -1 ; wh.le shs became in appearance, desperately euamuored of him, and wroie him poetry by the sheet, expres sing her ‘everlasting affection’ by which he assured his triend lihlph she meant to mean the oldness of her love. In Vain lie tried to make love to Nell. She accepted no intentions horn "her cousiu’s lover,” so she mock ingly assured him, and left him more despairingly than ever. At last he could endure it no lon ger, and accordingly sought an inter view with Mr. Lafourn. “So you come to propose for my daughter, Mr. Gower ?” queried the gentleman, when he was ushered in. “No, sir, I have not,” be emphatical ly replied. “I have come to make a confession, to ask your forgiveness, and crave a boon. You know how you came to make me the offer which you did ? Well, having beeD brought up to believe myself independent of the world, and to study a profession more for pleasuie than ought else, af ter finding myself suddenly bereft of all hopes, and poor, I gladly accept ed of your proposal. I scorned the idea of love; I vowed I loved my ease better than any woman on earth, and though I was informed your daughter was—was—•” “A scraggy old maid,” slyly inter posed Mr. Lafourn. Bart blushed at his own remark, but proceeded: “I determined, provided she would accept me, to marry her for your mon ey. There, sir, is fcbo .truth, and I know I cannot but be lowered in your estimation. Since I have met your niece, and I’ve—l’ve—” “Fallen in love with her,” observed the father, aiding him along. “Yes, sir, exactly so; and I am will ing, if she will have me, to give up all ideas of wealth obtained by such mean practice, and go away and w ork brave ly for her. Do you think there is any hope ? Will yon forgive me ?” “Certainly,” he responded, “Ishould not want my daughter wedded to any man from such mercenary motives. — I’ll call Nell and see what she says.”— And suiting the action to the word, he summoned Nellie. “This gentleman has withdrawn his claims to your cousin s hand,” he ob served, taking Nellie by the hand, “and actually has the audacity to ask for yours. What shall I tell him?” “And I am poor, Nellie,” ejaculated Bait; “but you shall see I am no con ceited jackanape. I will go away and commence the practice oi my profes sion if you will give me hope.” Nellie looked at her father through her blushes. “But I would boa penniless bride ft “And all the dearer! If you are not worth working for you are not worth having.” “If then, she returned slyly, “you wait a year and do not change you r mind, if uncle is willing ” “Which he will be,” interrupted the old gentleman. The ruse was still kept up. Mr. La fourn gave him letters of introduction to several influential friends, and he went away and set up work in earn est. For a while he was unsuccessful; at last his talents began to be appre ciated and he was on a fair way to prosperity. At the end of the year he wrote and lold Mr. Lafourn how he had succeeded, and asked if he would have any objections to his wedding ta ken place then. He returned, and when he arrived he found his Nellie prettier than ever. Mr. Lafourn said nothing, aud Bart wondered at his giv ing such a costly wedding to his niece; but when he, as the bride's father gave her away, he was dumbfounded. As soon as the ceremony was over he rushed to his father-in-law: “What does it mean ?” “It means you have married my daughter, sir,” responded the happy parent, “and we have been deceiving you all the while, Lucille is my mai den git tea.” Bart was paralyzed ”Your daughter ?” “Aud my money, as I promised! Nellie and I heard your oonrersAtioo and determined to test yon. We did so, and Nellie still insisted on being tried, and—*' “You have taken tbs conceit out of me.” But though rich he did not leave bis profession ami enter into careless, idle life again; he steadily pushed his way up, and now is one of the most influ eutial men of the time—which he al ways avers in more due to Nellie’s stratagem than Marrying a Fortune. XO. The Useful unci the Xtcautiful.. Tire tomb of Moses is unknown, but the traveler slakes his thirst at the well of Jacob. The gorgeous puktee of the wisest and welthiest of umturehs, with cedar and gold aud ivory, and even the great temple of Jerusalem, hallowed by the visible glory of tko Leity Him self, are gone; but Solomon’s resovoirs are os perfect as ever. Os the ancient architecture of the Holy City, not oue stone is left upon another; but the pools oJ Bethsaida commands the Pil grim’s reverence at the present clay.— The columns of Persopolis are moldcr ing into dust, but its cisterns and aq ueducts remain to challenge our admi ration. The golden house is a moss of ruins, but the Aqua Claudia still pours into Rome its limpid stream. The temple of the sun of Tadmor in the wilderness has fallen, but its fountain sparkles as freshly in his rays as when thousands of worshipers thronged its lofty colonades. It may be ihut Lon don will share the same fate as Baby lon, and nothing be left to mark its site save mounds and crumbling brick work; tko Thames will coutiuue to flow as it does now. And if any woi kof art should still rise over the deep ocean of time, we may well believe it will be neither a palace nor a temple, but some vast aqueduct or reservoir; aud if any name should still flash through the mists of antiquity, it will, proba bly, be that of the man who in his duy sought the happiness of his fellow men rather than their glory, and linked his memory to some great work of nation al utility and benevolence. r I his is the true glory, which outlivos all others and shines with undying luster from generation to generation, imparting to works something of its own immortal ity and, in some degree, rescuing them from the ruin which, overtakes the or dinary monuments of historical tradi tion or mere magnificence. Husband and Wife. Let the husband be the true and pure guardian of his family, laboring always to adorn himself with the god like gems of wisdom, virtue, and hon or; let him bear himself in relation to his wife with gracious kindness to wards her faults, with grateful recog nition of her merits, with steady sym pathy for her trials, with hearty aid for her better aspirations, and she must be of a vile stock if she does not rever ence him, and minister unto him with all the graces and sweetness of her na ture. Let a wife, in her whole intercourse with, ker husband, try tko efficacy of gentleness, purity, sincerity, scrupulous truth, and meek and patient forbear ance, an invariable tone aud manner of deference, and if he is not a brute he cannot help respecting and treating her kindly; and in nearly all instances he will end by l.viug her, and living happily with her. But if he is vulgar and vicious* des potic, reckless, so as to have no devo tion for the august prizes and incor ruptible pleasures of existence; if she is an unappeasable termagant, or a pet ty worrier, so taken up w'ith petty an noyances that wherever she looks “the blue rotunda of the universe sinks in to a housewifery room;” if the pres ence of acts as a morbid irritant on the nerves of the other, to the de struction of comfort, and the lowering of self-respect, and the draining away of peace and strength, their compan ionship must infallibly be a compan ionship in wretekedness'and loss. Tile banes of domestic life are little ness, falsity, vulgarity, harshness, scolding, vociferation, an incessant is suing of superfluous prohibitions and orders, which are regarded as imperti nent interferences with the general lib erty and repose, and are provocative of wrangling or exploding resentments. Tiie blessed antidotes that sweeten and enrich domestic life are refinements, tempers, forbearance from all unneces sary commands or dictation, and gen erous allowances of mutual freedom.— Love makes obedience lighter than lib erty. Man wears a noble allegiance, not as a collar, but a garland. The graces are never so lovely as wbe: a they thus dwell together; they make a he tvenly home. — Alger , in Friendship of Women wan— he colored candidate for Coun ty Surveyor in Muscogee, being asked how he would measure land, if elected, replied that he’d “step it off.”
