The profession has sought dilligentlv for some remedy thatwo’ld enable them to treat these diseases with success.

It is purelv vegetable, and is put up in Atlan ta, by BRADFIELD & CO. ft will purify the blood and strengthen the system, relieve irritation of the kidneys, and is a perfect spec lie for all the above diseases; as certain a cure us Quinine is in Chills and Fevers.

Exchange, Ga.. March 23,1870. BRADFIELD * CO., ATLANTA, GA.: Dear Sirs: I take pleasure in stating that 1 have used, for the last, twenty years, the medi cine youareputtingpp, known a* I)R. J. BRAP FIELD’S FEMALE REGULATOR, and con sider it the best combination ever gotten to gether for the diseases for which it is recom mended. T have been familiar with the pre scription, both as a practitioner of medicine and in domestic practice, and can honestly say that 1 consider it a boon to suffering females, and can but hope that every lady in our whole land, who may be suffering in any way peculiar to their sex, may be iflUe to procure a bottle, that their sufferings may not only be relieved, bi*t that they may be restored to "health * strength. With my kindest regards, lam, respectfully, W. B. FERRELL, M. D. We, the undersigned Druggists, take pleasure in commending to the trade. Dr. J.

LAWSITE, Atlanta, Ga. W. ROOT & SON, Marietta, Ga. DR. PR OP 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 Sto mach, Sick or Nervous Headache, Heartburn, In digestion or Dyspepsia, Bad or Bitter Taste in the Mouth, the skin has a- thick, rough feeling, and is darker than usual, Costiveness, Melan choly Feelings, Cramps, Cold Feet, Colic, Dys entery, or Diarrluea, 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, and has given universal satisfaction. There is no brother or son claiming to have the origional recipe. It is put up in both Pow der and Fluid form. Faikbukn, Ga., Sept. 4, 1868. DR. O. 8. PROPHITT: Sir: My wife has been an invalid for fifteen years. Doctors all agreed she had “Liver Dis ease.” In connection w r ith 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 complete cure. Respectfully, &0., GEO. L. THOMAS. CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sept. 24,18fi8. I have used Dr. O. S.

Davis made Prophitt change the name from Pain Killer to PAIN KILL IT. For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, or pain of any kind it has no equal.

[There is as mnch sober truth as poetry in the following, which we clip from the Conditutim. Our planters all over the South, would do well to act upon the suggestions which it is so well calculated to present:— Ed. Express.] King Cotton looked forth and his fields were white, And his arm felt strong and his eye looked bright; Through the fleece-covered stalks he saw un rolled -• ' A marvelous vision of yellow gold. Hoi subjects, he said, to your fields and bear Tho gathered wealth of a summer’s care; So they stripped their lands of the harvest won ’Till the stalks looked black in the autumn suu, And they counted their bales ’till the figures told Their wealth in pieces and pounds of gold. Then they looked at their fields, now stripped and bare, And they said, “We must buy to eat and wear.” King Corn, in the West, saw his fair domain In the autumn sun w ave its miles of grain, ..ad dotting his pastures and fields, were seen Sleek herds where the grass grew lush tend green. What, bo! my subjects, my stalwart men, King Cotton is ealling to us again! And they gathered their golden ears with a will, ’Till the plethoric eribs Stood heaped and still. And the King of the South to those men of brawn For their golden years sent his golden coin. And the King of the Loom and Spindles, then. From his Eastern throne hailed his million men, What, ho! my subjet/is, come forth from your homes, Send a thrill of steam through your cunning looms, Weaveyour costly raiments, your carpets rare, For the King of the Golden Fleece to wear. And the spindles whirled and the shuttles flew, Weaving their woofs ofevery hue, Which they rolled in many a glossy ibid To tempt from the King his Southern gold. From his Northern home the liailroad King Called his subjects forth at the anvil’s ring; What, ho! my subjects, the Cotton King needs Our iron roads and their lightening steeds; Let us use our wealth, and the sum twice told Will roll from the Boutb in yellow gold And those iron steeds on our prairies gleam W ith their harness of steel and their reins of steam, And our gold rolls back, and its magic ring Is heard in the halls of the liailroad King. King Cotton looked forth again and knew That his fields were bare and his coffers too. How Gen. Young Got in the Fikst Time.— A Washington letter to the Courier-Journal contains this spicy nar ration : Gen. P. M. B. Young, who was in Congress two years ugo, has been re turned from Georgia, and also took his seat yesterday. He owes Ins place chiefly to that eccentric character, Tbad. Stevens. His disabilities had not been removed when he arrivod here in 1869 to present his credentials of election He called on ‘Old Thad.,’ and told him that we wanted his as sistance in getting his disqualifications removed. JLhe following colloquy en sued; Gen. Young -“Air. Stevens, l am a Representative elect from Georgia, but I was a general in the army, and they won’t let. me take my seat.” Old Thad.—“ The b—l they won’t. A Representative, with crtdentials of your State, and a general in the army, and refused you yofir seat ?” Gen. Young—“Mr. Stevens, I was a major general in the Confederate ar my.” Old Thad.—“ Well of course you are going to act with ns.” Gen. Young—“>o sir, I won’t. I fought you ou the oattle-field, and I expect to fight you in Congress. 1.. m a straight-out Democrat.” Old Thad.—“A Democrat, a major general in the rebel army, and you come here asking me to help you ! I like your impudence, and I’ll be d—d if I don’t!” And he did. In a few days Young was sworn in. Live Witliin Your Means. We don't like stinginess. We don’t iike economy, when it cou.es down to rags and starvation. We have no sym pathy with the notion that a poor man should hitch himself fast to a post, and •stand still, while the rest of the world moves forward. It is no man’s duty to deny himself every amusement, every recreation, every comfort, ihat he may get rich. It is no man’s duty to make an iceberg of himself, to shut his eyes and ears to the sufferings of his fel lows, and deny himself the enjoyment that results from generous actions, merely that he may hoard wealth for his heirs to quarrel about. But there is an economy which is every man’s du»y, and which is especially commend able in the man who struggles with poverty—an economy which is consist ent with happiness, and must be prac ticed if the poor man would secure in dependence. It is almost every man’s privilege, and it becomes his duty, to live within his means; not up to, but within them. Wealth does nut make the man, we admit, and should never be taken into account in our judgment of men; but competence should always be seoured, when it can be, by the practice of economy and self-denial, to only a tolerable ertent. It should be secured, not so much for others to look upon, or raise us in the estimation of others, as to secure the consciousness of independence, and the constant sat isfaction which is derived from its ac quirement and possession. A little schoolboy presented his teacher the following note from home as an excuse for his tardiness: “Baby cross, Biscuit to bake had no Bakeu po der the dog upset the kaughphy pot the cat licked the milch got up late Excuse.” Editors and Proprietors.

A FABLE. ‘I am hungry,’said the Grave. ‘Give me food.’ Death answered: “I will send forth a minister of awful destruction, and you soall be satisfied.” “What minister will yon send?” “I will send alcohol. He sh;ill go in the guise of food and medicine, pleasure and hospitality. The people shall drink arid (be.” “I am content,” answered the Grave. And now the church bells began to toll, and the mournful procession to ad vance. “Who are they bringing now V said the Grave. “Ah,” said Death, “they are bring ing a household. The drunken father aimed a blow at his wife. He killed the mother and her child together, and then dashed out his own life.” “And who,” said the Grave, “comes nest, followed by a train of weeping children ?” “This is a broken-henrted womau, who has long pined away in want, while her husband has wasted his sub stance at the tavern. And he too, is borne behind, killed by the hand of vi olence.” “And who nest ?” ’‘A young man of generous impulses, who, step by step, became dissipated, and squandered his all My agent turned him out to be frozen in the street.” “Hush 1” said the Grave; “now I hear a wail of anguish that will not be si lenced.” “Yes, it is the widows cry. It is the only son of his mother. He spurned her love, reviled her warning, and a bloated corpse he comes to thee. And thus they come—further than the eye can reach, the procession crowds to thy dark abodes. And still lured by the enchanting cup which I have mingled the sons of men crowd the paths of dis sipation. Vainly they dream of escape, but I shut behind them the invisible door of destiny. They know it now, and with song and dance and riot, they hasten to thee, G Grave! Then I throw my fatal spell upon the new throngs of youth, and soon they, too, will be with thee.”— Exchange. Tlie Wisdom of the Egyptians. The moderns are accustomed to pooh-pooh a good deal at people so unfortunate as to live before the 19th century; but just think what some of these remote people and times did manage to find out and accomplish for themselves. There was Egypt—oldest and wisest of the nations—what a rec ord for her is deciphered, in the last fifty years of her past. What did the old Egyptian know about the oldest of the arts, about farming ? He knew how to manage his great river—the one source of moisture and fertility in that climate— so as to turn the desert beyond its banks into a garden, and make Egypt a store-house and granary for the sur rounding nations. He built reservoirs so huge as to retain sufficient water from the overflowing-river to feed it when it subsided—a lake four hundred and fifty miles around, and three hun dred feet deep—and fitted up with a skillful system of floodgates, dams, and locks. These were water-works on a stupendous scale, truly. As to what he knew about building, who has not heard of his pyramids, those vast masses, sone of which were oidviu the time of Abraham, and yet built with such faithfulness and skill that the masonry is still perfect ? He knew how to quarry and move huge blocks of stone, ninety feet in length, and then cover them with accurate and beautiful chiseling. The whole land was full of these w onderful statues, ob elisks, toombs, and temples. About manufacturing, he knew how to weave linen so fine that each sepa rate thread was composed of three hun dred and sixty-five small threads twist ed together. He knew how to dye it purple, and blue, and scarlet, and how to embroider it. He knew how to get iron and copper from mines at Sinai, and how to make useful tools of them when obtained. But what did he know about science? He understood geometry well enough, at least, for land surveying. He un derstood the rotundity of the earth, the sun’s central place in the solar system, the obliquity of the ecliptic. He could foretell eclipses, the position of the planets, the true length of the year.— He had found out a method of nota tion—two of them, indeed, the decimal ami the duodecimal. As for chemis try, its very name, (from Chemi, which means Egypt) tells us where it was first studied. No wonder that the Egyptians got the reputation, among their more ignorant neighbors, of be ing magicians, As for books, the old Egyptians made p operand wrote on it, and we have now papyrus rolls made in the time of the early Phara ohs; but he went oh further to turn his buildings, his obelisks, even his coffins, into books, inscribing them with histo ries and biographies, by representing on them, through paintings and sculpt ure, ail his occupations and beliefs, his hopes and fears. One asks in wonder where he got all this knowledge. Ancient Greece went to him for it, just as the Americans go to Germany. We can trace the germs, at least, of our science and ax t to na tions moved from us by ages; but whom did the Egyptians team from ? Were these eons of Ham the first to 1 develop to such a marvelous degree the j arts of life ? Did they find out by [original observation what has been ‘transmitted to us? Afid what remote antiquity were they slow ly accumulating the experience * wt;< g qualified them to establish sucu stable institutions, such sett fi and i radii ions, such attainments in sciepcQ ,nnd art ?

The efi'eubivo feature of the enterprise is tlie fact that those histories are prepared for schools. As we have not seen any of these works, we are unable to say a word about their fuu ts or m rita Wo refer to the subject simply to remark how natural it is such books are pro duced,that people who under took and maintained so tremendous a struggle through so Jong a time are unwilling to have their children receive their fir st impressions of the nature of the contest and of the motives and purposes of ilio actors from enemies. Whoever examines one or two of the school histories of the war written in the North, will not wonder that the men of the South do not choose that their children shall be taught to think of them as they are therein represent ed. Were they willing to be thus judg ed by the rising generation, or were they indifferent on the subject, they would be be more or less than men. - There is no use denying or ignoring the fact—the most intelligent, thi most honorable, the most conscientious, and in every sense most worthy people of the Southern States, first or last, en gaged in the couflict with all their hearts and minds. Account for the phenomenon as we may, that was the fact, and justice to the North as wtU as the South requires its recognition. Before the war closed, very many of the southern people saw and admitted that in rebelling they had made a fear ful mistake in comparing northern and -outhern character and resources. pOf course that belief is universal in the South to-day. Ail men of sense there know perfectly well that the cause is lost beyond possibility of recovery and forever. On proper occasions and properly approached, there arc proba bly few of tlie farmer rebels who will not freely admit so much. But to ex pect them to proclaim themselves scoundrels as well as blunderers—to declare that in seceding they set at naught the clear dictates of conscience and reason, sinning against fight and knowledge, and forfeited all claim up on the respect of their f. liuw-rnea—is asking too much. The interpretation of the constitu tion, which seemed to them sound, and upon which they founded ihejr action, is exceedingly plausible. Minds of ti. very high order have seen in it the true and real meaning of the fuuda menial law of the laud. Likely a very large proportion of the rebels believed sincerely, some of them after prolong ed thought and inquiry, that they were maintaining the true p.iueiplcs of constitutional liberty. -Viewed c-.ai didly, it is creditable to the honesty of. their convictions at the time -that so few of them, in spite of powerful temptations and inducements, have been able to perceive the unsoundness of the ground on which t hey acted. Surely nothing could be more nut-- uaral than the unwillingness to have the principles and motives of their conduct misrepresented, or wrongly apprehended in the minds of their children. Doubtiesss it is desirable that the past shall not be allowed to rise up and disturb the present or the future. But the remedy is not in ob livion; the past cannot be forgotten.— The true remedy will be found in the spirit of inquiry and intelligence among the coming generations of both North and South. —Piltiberj (Penn.) Commercials Carlyle on Verese-Wrlting. It is one of my constant regrets, in this generation, that men to whom the gods have given a genius which a light of intelligence, or courage, and and all maafulness.or else means noth ing) will insist, in such an earnest time as ours has growu, in bringing out their divine gift in the shape of verse, which now no man reads entire ly in earnest. That a man has to bring out his gifts in words of any kind, and not in silent divine actions, which alone are fit to express it well, seems to me a great ‘misfortune for him; but that he should select verse, with its half-credibles and other sad accompaniments, when be might have prose, and be wholly credible, if be desired it—this I lay at the!door of our spiritual teachers (peduuts mostly, and speaking an obsolete dialect,) who thereby incaiculaiy rot the world mak ing him who migut have been a sold nr and fighter (so terribly wanted just at present) a mere preacher and idle singer.
