The proprietor of this celebrated medicine jas’l,
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the pu die tor the safe, certain, speedy andper
manent cure of Aru- and Fever .or Chilis and Fever
whether of shorter longstanding, lie refers to the
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strict
ly followed and ca ried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has oeen sufficient for a cure, and whole
families have teen cured by a single bottle, with a per
fect restoration of the general health. It is, however,
prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its
use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two af
ter the disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this metis
cine will not require a'.y aid to keep the bowels in
good order; should the patient, however, require a
cathartic medicine, after having ttken three or four
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BCLL’H VEGETA

some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I
know of no remedy recommended by theablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in Us effects, un the con

in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can
get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it
upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. lam
aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the
teachings and practice of a great majority of the reg
ular hue oi M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good
sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be el
ficient, simply oecause we may be ignorant of its com

and any means to alleviate suffering hum.nity which
I may be able to oinmand—not hesitating because
someone more ingenious than myself may have learn
d its effects first, and secured the sole right tc secure

“RAISING THE DEVIL.”
It was ft d'.rk and s n’ght*
a night to fill tqp soul with fight; th«
thunders pualod, the lightnings sash
ed, the wild beasts squealed and the
elements clashed, while the rain from
above in torrents dashed, when a poor
preacher of the gospel wended his way
through the dismal intricacies of a
Western Forest many years ago.
The poor man felt anything but
comfortable, for he was wet through to
the skin, and almost tired to death.—
He had been tramping about since
morning, besides he had lost his wav,
so the reader can guess the state of
mind he was in, and also appreciate
the sudden transition from despair
which he experienced on seeing the
glimmer of a light ahead. He quick
ened his hugging footsteps and soon
came up to the light which issued
from the only window of a solitary log
cabin in the forest.
Remembering the scriptural injunc
tion, “knock and it shall be opened
unto you,” he did so; but without meet
ing with any response. He rapped
again louder than before, ana this
time a gruff female voice asked:
“Who’s there ?”
“It’s I,” was the definite reply of
our rain-soaked parson.
‘‘Well, who are you, and what do
you want ?” asked the voice gruffer
than before.
“A poor, benighted preacher of the
gospel who has lost his way, and who
wishes to stay here to-night,” answer
ed the parson in a dolorous voice.
“Well, stay there—J don’t sec what's
to hinder 3*011!”
“But I am almost starved, and will
pay you liberally for some supper, ’ Ue
responded, chattering with cold and
not in the least appreciating the joke.
The words ‘ liberal pa, ’ acted like
open sesame! and after a few moments
of delay, occasioned by the unfasten
ing of the door, it was opened and our
parson entered.
'He found himself in a rough apart
ment with a large tire place at one
end, on which a great log-fire blazed;
a rough deal table and three chairs,
besides a box filled with dry flax, com
prised its furniture.
But all minor deficiencies seemed to
be more than made up by’ the lady of
the house, for she was fully six feet in
height and weighed nigh unto three
hundred pounds.
After having placed some food on
the table, she turned to the parson,
who stood shivering before the fire,
making futile attempts to dry himself
by alternately turning one side, then
the other, to the fire.
“Now I want you to eat this grub as
quick as you know how, and then
tramp, for it’s perfectly impossible for
mo to keep you here over night!”
“But, my good woman,” said the
parson anxiously, “I shall perish in
this inclement weather; I have been
wandering in this fearful storm ever
since morning, and if you have any
compassion or pity at all you will try
and give me some place where I can
be sheltered from tlais storm for the
night/’ and he offered her a five dollar
note.
“Well,” said the woman, avaricious
ly clutching the money, ‘if you think
you can stay in the garret, maybe you
can stay; but hurry up, for I expect
my husband home every minute, aud
it’s as much as your life is worth if he
should find 3*ou here, for he’s a very
devil incarnate, and would think no
more of murdering you than he would
of shooting a grizzly !”
The woman produced a short lad
der as she spoke, and bade the parson
to get up in the garret.
There was a small ‘d.op’ or trap
door in the ceiling, which raised of its
own accord on the parson’s head press
ing it upward, and not without some
difficulty he managed to squeeze him
self through the aperture.
After he was up, the old woman told
him to shut the trip and not to make
any noise for nis life, and then taking
the ladder away, the parson was left
to his own reflections.
Wet and uncomfortable as he was,
such was his fatigue that he had al
most fallen asleep when he was dis
turbed by some one’s knocking at the
door.
Being somewhat curious too see
what sort of a man his unknown host
was, he arose and peered through a
small crack in the floor into the room
beneath.
He saw the woman open the door
cautiously, aud after admitting a short,
tnick-set man, in a heavy cloak, lock
and bolt it agaiu.
From the mysterious actions and
whisperings that ensued, our parson
rightly concluded that the person who
had just entered was not tne woman’s
husband, but her paramour, who had
taken advantage of the husband’s ab
sence to pay the woman a nocturnal
visit.
After whispering together for a
awiiile the woman went to a cupboard
and produced a bottle of whiskey and
a plate of ham and bread, which she
set upon the table and the twain were
soon engaged in a loving repast.
While tbe parson was watching the
guilty couple there came a thundering
knock at the door, which caused them
both to jump to their feet in the great
est con sterna tiou. Without a mo
ment’s loss of time, the woman ran to
the large box of flax and emptied its
contents upon the floor; she then bade
the man, who was almost scared to
death, to get info the flax, which he
was only too glad to do, and when he
was in she rapidly covered him up
with the flax. The woman then ran
to the door and uubolted it, all the
while rubbing her eyes as if just awak
ened out of her sleep.
“Why the devil don’t you let a fel
ler stand outside all nigut!” exclaim
d the new-comer, a tall, powerful,
jllainous looking man, clad in a ban-
W's garb, as fie dealt her a ringing
box on the ear.
“I was asleep aid didn’t hear you
before!” whiuq ered the woman.—
“And don’t, for Gjd's suke, tur.se so
much, for there’s a iletaodist minister
up in the garret!”
W ho cares for Methodist ministers,
Id like to know ? But I 1 soon have
him out «f his hole! Here, 3'ou old
canting, hypo rite, come out o’ this
and show yourself, or 111 make jou!”
he exclaimed, with many imprecations,
as he sot the ladder before the trap
door.
The poor parson, al nost dead with
frignt, slowly descended - the ladder,
looking as white as a ghost, for from
the ruffian's manner, he expected that
he would be a ghost shortly.
“Don’t hurt the poor man! See
how sickly he looks,” exclaimed the
woman, pitying the poo; parson s dis
tress.
“You shut up, and mind yer business,
or it’ll be the worse for you,” was the
gracious rej ly of her lord; then, turn
ing to the trembiing parson, he asked:
“Are }’ou a Methodist preacher, and
do you blieve in hell and the devil ?”
The parson replied in the affirma
tive.
“Well, then, by the eternal, I don’t!
and if } r ou believe in the devil you’ll
either make him appear, or I’ll cut yer
lying throat aud make you appear be
fore him!” and he drew his bowie
knife in a threatening manner.
The poor preacher was in anything
but an enviabie situation, and thoughts
of the other world began to till his
mind with anxious forebodings; for it
is a remarkable fact that however
much clergymen may preach and talk
of the joys and bliss of the future
world they prefer to have others go j
and enjoy it.
This may be self-abnegation or pure
unselfishness—Heaven knows!
“Are you most ready ?” asked the
ruffian, raising his knife as he saw the
other hesitated, “I’ll gtvo you just
three minutes, and if the devil is not
here then, you’ll be with the devil!”
“My friend,” said the parson, into
whose head a brilliant idea had pop
-ped, “that there is a hell is a well es
tablished fact, as I can prove by hun
dreds of writers, and that the devil
exists allows no contradiction; and
that I have the power to make him ap
pear is also true; but dreadful for you
will be the consequence if he does !
Better if you had never been born than
to see Satan face to face in the wick
ed state in which you are in !”
“D 11 you ! stop your preaching
and call the old boy. I’ll stand the
consequences; and be quick about it,
for time’s up.”
' The parson went to the fire place
and took thence a burning brand,
which he applied to the box of dried
flax. It blazed up almost like gun
powder, and the unearthly yell that
issued from the poor devil in ike box
was truly appalling.
W ith an acrobatic power of the pos
session of which he was himself una
ware, he leaped out of lhe box cover
ed from heaa to foot with the burning
flax. With roars and hovds of agony
he made straight for the door, but he
was not so quick as the owner of the
premises, for one look of terror at the
burning figure he tied out of the house
closely followed by his “Satanic Ma
jesty.”
When they were both gone, the par
son gave his hostess a short but effec
tive lecture on connubial duties, after
which he seated himself comfortaly be
fore the fire.
When the woman’s husband return
ed he treated the parson with the
greatest respect, fully convinced that
he had the power to raise the devil at
will.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon Conven
tion.
—~
Peabody House, Memphis, Tknn., \
July Bth, 1870. j
Editors Constitution: You have many
readers in Columbus, Atlanta and
throughout the South, who are inter
ested in the advancement and prosper
of the “ Sigma Alpha Epsilon ;” hence
it may not be amiss to give you a few
items of the proceedings of the Gene
ral Convention of that fraternity in
this city recently.
As advertised in your columns and
elsewhere some time ago, the annual
Convention of the various chapters
met here on the morning\ of the Gth
instant, with a full and imposing dele
gation from tiie Southern States.
You must know that this is a col
lege organization of a secret and liter
ary nature composed of the most se
lect members of the classes, chosen on
accouut o f their mental and moral
worth. The closest ties of intimacy
and friendship are cultivated and ce
meuted during college days, and en
joiued upon every member of the fra
| ternity through life. Owing to the
congeniality of minds, this friendship
is not evanescent as schoolboy friend
ships usually are; but they remain
through life a true band of brothers.
But to proceed: The convention
i was, after prayer, organized by the
1 election of officers as follows:
President—S. S. Murdock, of Geor
gia. - |
Vice PresidenUt-S. D. McCormick, ■
of Kentucky.
Secretary.—A H. Lusk, of Tennes
see.
At the fifth and last setting of the
convention, other business being dis
posed of, the literary contestants for
prizes read their essays and poems.—
Mr. W. D. Trammell, of Georgia, a
! talented member of Franklin College
I Athens, Georgia, was awarded the
prize,for the best essay; and J. B. B.
Smith, a young man of rare genius, of
the same college, from Atlanta, Geor
gia, the prize for the best poem
! Nashville Wits appointed ».s the next
place of meeting, aid the convention
adjourned sing die.
Oh! but the re-union at Gaston’s on
the 7th, after adjournment, was the
rarest treat of all. There the poet,
the logician, the wit, the essayist, the
