It v ill cure ail Diseases caused by lierange
mci t of the Liver and Bowels. ,
1 :e SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken h r Kheu
mat sin; .Sour Stomach; L* s of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache:
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation of
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and lives, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the Liver
is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and [MATH will ensue.

TilK CKI.KBRATION.
One of tlie Best and Most Knjoyable
Meetings Yet Held.
In the hurry of going to press last
week, we neglected to mention the an
run! celebration of the Henry County
Sunday School Association at Shingle
roof. It was one of tho best, and most
enjoyable occasions in the history of
the Association, the attendance being
exceedingly large, and the Stockbridge
Methodist school winning the banner.
The following excellent address of
Prof. Macon is published by special
request of officers of the Association :
The successful Man.
There is, and cau be, no greatness!
in thiugs. The greatest things are
only the b st instruments to represent
or execute great principles. Greater
than accumulated wealth, greater than
abounding knowledge, greater than all
the system of ethics, is the successful
man; yea. greater than success is the
successful man—the man who brings
all the elements of this tripartite life to
realization of their highest possibilities.
Great tenporal success has often fol
lowed unsuccessful meu, men whose
living made mankind no richer and
whose death made the race no poorer.
Temporal success has been a strauger
to many a successful man, a man who
filled his life with the true riches only
to pour the whole treasure into the
lap of humanity, into the treasury of
God—who in liviug was an ornament
to his race, and in dying loft a void.
“There is that maketh himself rich, yet
hath nothing; there is that make'h him
self poor, yet hath great riches.”
Life is like a bank account, you cau
only draw out what you have put in.
He who fills his being fullest with the
best treasures of life, to be drawn upon
by the drafts of humanity, is the sue
cessful mau: he may get rich but he is
more apt not to do so; he will have a
stock of true culture and will never
cease his efforts to augment it; truth
and virture will adorn his life and
multiply with his years. The world
does not need physical athletes, yet
physical vigor is invaluable in its place;
it does not need intellectual giants, yet
what a blessing is mental power; it does
not need towering moralists, yet the
world has little enough of morality.
The world needs successful meu—men
1 who kuow the right use of physical
power and use it rightly, meu who
kuow how to think and think, men
who know the obligations growing out
of spiritual existence and perform them.
The successful mao is therefore the
ideal mau, a man you say, whohas never
yet existed in the world. True, but
\ tlios, who have approached most near
ly to ideal manhood, had the ideal as
their goal. A low ideal makes low
men, a high ideal high men. No high
man ever had a low ideal. No man
with a high ideal can long remain a low
man. Le* me repeat, there is one
thing that is greater than the greatest
success, successful manhood. The all
transcending purpose of our lives should
be to transform the natural into the
possible mau, the real into the ideal.
In order to entertain a rational hope
of ideal manhood, we must learn:
I. TO VALUE TIME.
“A man that is youug in years may
bo old in honors if lie has lost no
time.” Time is the foundation soil
out of which grows the tree of achieve
ment with its fruitage of life—blessings
and eternal joys, lime is the stuff
that makes up life, hours are more val*
j liable thau pearls, days than diamonds.
Time is the architect of destiny,
j Whatever your life shall amount to
will be summed up iu time. Therefore
treasure time as though it were gold.
1 “To allow one's time to be wasted, is
to allow oues’s opportunity for useful
ness and eminence to go by forever.”
Make time for what you ought to do,
have no time for what you ought not 1
to do. Lite is not a holiday, but an
| education, its corriculeem has ample
j labor for every fleeting day, its session
extends from the cradle to the grave,
death is only its commencement day. i
I Dare we squaruder the days and hope 1
!to graduate with honor? School life
has no value save as it gives value to
| life, and he who really values does not
squander school life. ‘’When a man

a pearl of inestimable value. Life has
no value save as it relates to the here

the hereafter of its own existence. He
who knows most, grieves most for was
ted time.
11. TO IMIMIOV* AND MAKE OI*POK
TL'NITIKS.
There is probably not a more preva
lent and disastrous folly practiced by
youth than the neglect of opportunities.
Lulled by dreamy faucies and flattering
hopes, youth’s invaluable opportunities
slip unprized away. The piercing
cares and keeu disappointments of
adult life soon goad the slumbering
prodical into sensibility. The light of
self consciousness now reveals the mag
nitude of his youthful crime. He
knows he cannot cope with the strong
who are panoplied in all the power ot
improved opportunity, and he will have
to start to school again—not a school
where thoughtful teachers and partial
parents strive with unrequited labor to
prepare the youthful recruit for the
apjtroachiug struggle, but a school
where mistakes, aud stumblings, and
falls, and galling burdens are his les
sons aud grim old experience the teach
er. When he enters that school he
will have to stay in it whether he likes
it or not, and besides pay high rate
tuition without any cash in hand. He
despised his youthful opportunities and
would brook no instruction, and now
he comes to this unwelcome old pre
ceptor who flogs him every day and
gives him no vacation. He is a boy
doing a man’s work, he has the hard
est toil without rest. Opportunity is
like the Sibyl, she diminishes her offer
ing and increases her price at each
succeeding visit. In Nebuchadnezzer’s
image, the lower the member, the
coarser the metal. The further off the
time the more unfit. Today is the
golden opportunity, to morrow will be
the silver season, next day but the
brazen 000, and soon, till at last I shall
come to the toes of clay and be turned
to dust. Will a .man Hie aud give to
the world only the paltry gift of dust
which he borrowed awhile from mother
earth? When this fragile frame of
clay is gone, will there be nothing in
all the world to remind and rejoice
others that 1 have lived? Nothing but
successful manhood can long survive
the grave. Without improved oppor
tunities successful manhood is impossi
ble. Does conscience this day charge
you with lost opportunities? What
justification can you plead? To what
tribunal can you appeal for exhonera
tion? There is no temporal exbonera
tiou. Opportunities lost are lost for
ever. A legitimate legacy is left to a
pauper, he declines it; we call him
foolish. Opportunity offers those
greater treasures, whose proper use en
riches mind and heart and sonl and en
obles and glorifies the whole life. What
shall we say of him who refuses it?
To neglect opportunity is to commit
suicide—suicide of your possible self,
your better,‘greater, juobler self. AH
a man needs to become a living corpse
is to sit and watch the procession of
bis oaportunities go by. Gray and
Galliles, Wattean and Washington,
Buchanan and Bet hover, all had their
opportunities. Suppose they had had
nothing else. ‘‘Unwept, unhonored and
unsung,” they would now be sleeping
in obscure and unmarked graves.
These men became what they are. not
because they had opportunities; but be
cause their opportunities had men to
deal with—meu determined to wrench
from their oppoi tunities all the goods
they had in store. Without this spirit
all the opportunities in the world can
not make a man of any human being.
Hence, your treatment of your oppor
| tunities is a perpetual testimonial to
your real manhood and true self res
pect. Opportunity is but the bugle
call that summons the army to battle,
but the blast of a bugle can never
: make soldiers nor win a victory. There
j may he some youug men here who
j think they have no opportunities.
Most of the truly successful men have
| had no opportunities —except such as
they made. “If you are iu earnest a
door will open soouer or later, hut it
will be your own hand that opened it.”
■ Opportunities that are not made are
| usually valueless, fruitless. Gifts are
never so valuable as merited rewards.
I He, who can make no opportunities,
can certainly not make a man. First
make a dime, then you may make a
dollar. Opportunities are not mere
chinks in the wheel of fortune which
briDg us gifts for nothing—they are
simply changes to work. Hence, he
who makes no opportunities, would
I not use them if given to him. Many a
man, whose name is to day written ir
the roll of the immortal*,-became greai
because, in youth, he haij no opportun
lilies. The best opportunity may be
|no opportunity, if the spirit of a true
man be coupled with it. Much tlmi
seems trying and unsatisfactory, is.
after all, our best discipline for life.
The strongest and noblest men are not
developed in the midst of unearned
opportunity. Night and day, rain and
suu, are alike necessary for growth.
With gratitude grasp the opportunities
in reach, and improve thftpi to the last
limit of their worth; hut remember
that whenever you seem to have uu
opportunities the crisis is upon you
“It thou faint in the day* of adversity
thy strength is small.” *
111 TO WORK.
Opportunity without work is an en
gine without steam—useless. The im
mutable law of life and growth is work.
The chief difference between the acorn
aud oak is years of work. The chasm
between yourself and successful man
hood can never be bridged without
work. If poverty is your lot, show
your good sense in not being humiliated
by it. “A man usually achieves little
who does not fight his way at every
step.” Breast poverty, and work aud
sing in the midst of hardships. If you
have no money in your pocket; and the
heart and soul of a true mau, you have
brighter hopes of a true manhood than
a veritable Croesus without these.
We cannot become successful men and
idle away life. A successful man nev
er has lived an indolent .life. If you
think you can become anything with
out the exercise of ycur powers, you
can have no ratioual hope' of becoming
a successful man. Cau a wingless
eagle pierce the cloulds? No more
can a lazy life mount up to successful
manhood. The structure of tho phy
sica! organism, the ceaseless cerebra
tion of the brain, the order of external
nature, and tho commands of revela
tion, all impose the obligation to work.
To refuse or fail to do so, is to violate
universal law, aud brann yourself with
a worthless, hopeless life. Your first
dutv is to give an honest equivalent
for all your gettings, toattaiu tho high
est possiblo culture by service under wis
dom'B yoke; and to work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling.
If you expect to be auybody you will
haye to work. Work for temporal
possessions in order that you may use
them in widening your scope of useful
labor. Work for the night is coming.
In both secular and spiritual life, faith
without works is dead. No mau capa
ble of rising to the heights of success
ful manhood wants an easy life, it is a
life of stagnation and death. Did ever
a truo soul behold a caged lion without
pity? With restless movement the
caged monarch mimics the activity of
his native jungle. He gets his food
without effort, but it is not food for a
lion. The midnight hunt, the noiseless
creeping, the vaulting spring, the strug
gle for life, the dead victim —thus a
lion gets his food. The vaulting spirit
of a true man is a caged lion iu the
dungeon of idleness. If you would
attain successful manhood, choose na
ture’s way to ft—work. Newton,
Gallileo, Agissiz, Luther, Morse,
Blackstone—great names these.
Would you read their biographies in a
word, work.
“Life is a burden, hear il,
Life is a duty, dare it,
Life is a thorn—crown, wear it,
Though it breaks your heart in twain,
Though the burden crush you down,
Clobc your lips and hide the pain,
First the cross and llicr. the crown.”
“We live in deeds, not years; in
thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not
in figures on a dial plate ; we should
count time by heart-throbs; he
he most lives, who thinks most, feels
noblest, acts best.” Life is a short
working day.
IV. TO THINK.
The world’s thinkers are its engines,
and the unthinking world is the care
drawn after them. Not to think is a
large element in being nobody. Not
to be a thinker, is to be a thing—the
Last summer one of our grand child
ren was sick with a severe bowel trou-j
ble. Our doctor’s remedies had failed,
then we tried Chamberlain’s Colic,
I Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which
gave very speedy relief. V\ e regard
jit as the best medicine ever put on the
market for bowel complaint—Mrs. h.
! G. Gregory, Frederickstown, Mo.
This certainly is the best medicine

summer complaint, colic and cholera

give prompt relief when used in reason

passion weathercock in the winds of
mission ami impulse, the helpless in
'trument of heartless designers —in
society a mendicant, in politics n pun
pet, in religion a parasite Mental
education fails of its chief purpose if it
loes not develop the power and habit
of thought. Do you go to school be
cause your father scuds you there, ot
to feast on the glory of wiuuiug honots, 1
to secure the parchment which is a
passport to certain immunities ami
privileges, or do you go to subject
your mind, patiently and persistently,
to the exercise and dimipline which
alone can confer mental growth and
power? In its living laboratory tlie
plant elaborates its thousand tendril
roots to pilfer from the earth her nu
tritive treasures, it forms and fashions
its thousand lunged leaves to impart
the invisible aliment of the air, it chan
nels out its capillary tubes, the myriad
streams for its transportation. Why
all this work? Simply that it may
grow. What is the reward? Simply
growth. Mow many students are
known and felt after they leave the
walls of their Alma Mater? Alas!
with too many, the degree is the end
of their intellectual career, it should be
only the beginning. If, when you
have finished school, you have opened
the door to the treasure house of
thought and truth, happy are you if
you euter to contemplate and think,
and happy the world that you have
been here. It is not the amount of
food that enters the alimentary canal
which determines bodily health and
vigor, hut the amount which reaches
ultimate assimilation. If you appre
hend this law of racutal, as well as
physical growth, and rightly appraise
your opportunities, “you will esteem
the solid rewards of slow and thorough
work above the ephemeral eclat of the
closing day, vanishing in young ladies
smiles and students cheers.” In all
your student life you ought to demand
of yourself the best you can do in all
that you do. Whatever service you
shall render humanity, will not be ow
ing to extraordinary sagacity, but sole
ly to industry and patient thought.
Disciplined powers, under the control
of a masterful will, and exercises by
years of patient rpental labor, can alone
confer upon you intellectual strength.
If you are unwilling to pay this price,
you do not want to be a thinker. One
ot the chief dangers which confronts
young students is intellectual bigotry.
This cannot coexist with true wisdom
and real inlellectual power. The
highest human intellects, mirrored in
the great ocean of truth and knowl
edge, seem almost infinitely small. All
real thinkers know this. Newton said
he had only picked up a pebble or shell
on the shore, while the fathomless
ocean 'ay undiscovered before him.
'l'he world needs thinkers. Learn to
think at school. Go forth into the
world thinking, and thinking, act.
Think noble thoughts, right thoughts,
tell them, live them—not for rewards,
right thinking is its own reward.
“High minds are as little affected by
unworthy returns for services, an the
sun is by those fogs which the earth
I throws up between herself and his
light.” “Evil is wrought by want of
thought as well as want of heart."
Get the thoughts of hooks and men anil
graft them in your mind, and try to
read what is yet unread in the manu
scripts of God. Thus attaining to all
that is nobleat and best in mind and
thought, you will humbly devote the
whole to humanity’s highest well being.
The Eternal Thinker gave you mind
to think, and uot to think is base in
gratitude; all grades of thankless
ness, and thauklessness is crime Learn
to tbiuk, ai d then think.
v to DKVEt.oi’ right character.
Your refinement, your eloquence,
your wealth, arc not your message to
the world, it is your character. It is
the man who is the teacher, doctor,
missionary, it is not his culture or
his words. ‘ What we are stretches
past what we do, beyond what we pos
scss. Libor, thought, possessions,
must have right chaiacter to ennoble
and glorify them.' More errors spring
from defects of character than of want
of intellectual capacity. That life is
not short, however few the years,
which develops a noble, cican charac
ter, and leaves beautiful ra mories.
I*..HM!SH true-appreciation. It i» faith
ful self—valuation, self weighed in the
balances of reality, instead of imagina
tiou. This will produce that soul hu
iniliry, that is the only soil in which
true greatness germinates. Master
your temper or you will be its slave.

short, for sheer, gratuitous misery
producing power, an evil temper stands
alone.” Be frank. In an atmosphere
of suspicion men shrivel up. Be gen
erous. There are gifts more precious
than money, “a kind word, a hasty |
hand clasp, a sympathizing tear, an
hour of prudent fraternal counsel
these are invaluable.” Give pleasure,
never try to please. Lose no chance
of giving pleasure—“for that is the
ceaseless and anonymous triumph of a
truly generous spirit.” There will be
times when you should exercise your
higher right of giving up your rights,
lie generous to self-hurt, when not be
ing gonerous would hurt others. Be
unselfish. How the world loves uusel- j
fish unmiablity—“a persou who goes |
through life thinkiug for others, not
supersensitive, not imperious, not irrit
able, uot censorious.” When Sir
Humphrey Davy was urged by some
friends to take oat a paten, on his safe
ty lamp, and thus make five or ten
thousand a year tor himself, he said, I
never thought of such a thing, my sole
object was to serve the cause of hu
manity; and if I have succeeded, 1 am
amply rewarded in the gratifying re.
(lection of having done so. If you
have talents, and w'ihli to enjoy peace,
labor for humanity. Help somebody.
Help without the hope of recompense.
Steal out into the world and do all the
good you can, then go hack into the
shade again and say nothing about it.
Gratitude will he your recompense, and
there is uo creditor so muuificent as
graitude. Do not envy. Whenever
you attempt a good work, you will
find other men doing the same kind of
work, and probably doing it better."
Envy them not, hut in gratitude emu
late superoir virtue wherever you find
it. Do not bo a chronic critic, hut do
your duty to otheis and they will de
serve less criticism. The product of
criticism is retaliation, not reformation.
The best way to reform the world is to
know the truth and live it, and its in
carnation will conquer error without
the labor and conflict of oral contro
versy. Be contented. Discontent is
wormwood which neutralizes (ho sweets
of a thousand blessings, and robs life
of its greatest treasure, happiness.
Discontent is meeting against divine
purpose. Be conscientious. A good
conscience is a man’s best friend.
Whenever evil approaches it never
(ails to sound the alarm out of fear of
hurting your feelings. And yet men
often murder coucience in order to
do a thing they know they ought not
to do, and which destroys their self re
spect. With self respect gone, the
world must soon withdraw its respect
and the power for good is lost. Many
men desert the truth when it becomes
unpopular. “O! cowardly audacity,
afraid to iucur the world’s petty frown
and not afraid to murder conscience
and displease God.” Cultivate-strong
convictions and a reliable conscience,
and guard them as you would your
honor. Be loving, if you would be
useful and happy. Your character is
composed in the horizon of your afiec
tious. Love nature—it will draw you
nearer to God; love truth, that it may
uplift and ennoble your life; love man,
that you may lift him up; love God,
that yon may honor Him and pattern
your character after the highest ideal

A stomachful of iudigested food is
about as unhealthy a mass as one can
well imagine.
What can be done with it?
There it stays, it won’t digest. It
churns up, ferments ai.d decays; be
comes poisonous (as all putrid matter
does) and cause* great pain and deep
sea'ed disorders.

once, so that no more poisons arc creat
ed.

A Standard Work.—Webster’s In
ternational Dictionary. It cannot have
missed the observation of the reader
and student that there has sprung up,
during the 'ast few years, an absorbing
desire upon the part of publishers of
many of the leading dictionaries to see
how many newly invented words they
can get between the coverg of their
works. They gather up the slang
phrase of the street corner, or use some
“cute remark of a stago celebrity,
and it finds its way into what are claim
ed to be standard books of authority,
although the word itself may never
have been heard of before, and has no
definite meaning—being merely a jnm
hie of letters.
W hen one wants a work prepared
with care, by men of acknowledged
ability, that is recommended for its
practical, useful knowledge, and whose
claim to merit is not based upon the
ground that it contains a few more
meanigless words than some other, he
buys a Webster Dictionary. As the
Holy Book is the religious guide and
cOuncelor of the civilized world, so
Webster’s Dictionary is the guide and
never failing councelor of the studeut
and the man of letters as well as the
educational world. Other works mav
contain more words; may he more pro
fusely illustrated, aud have brighter
colors used in the printing; but Noah
Webster, like George Washington, is
first in the hearts of his countrymen as
an educational guide and source of use
ful knowledge. There is more kernel
and less shell and husk in Webster
than in any other dictionary published.
It is the standard—the compass used
alike by the orator, the statesman, the
student, the minister, writer, and the
mass of mankind. It completely fills
I the bill—meets every requirement.

would help her. I sent her a bottle

relieved her. Another of our neigh

diarrhoea but kept getting worse,
scut him this same remedy. Only four
