Most of the wheat lias been cut at hi is sly*
ed in the field. The rust lias totally destroyed’
somo crops—others have tieen part hilly injured,
while others are said to be very good. From
the best information we can get the wheat crop
in the country trading to Columbus will aver
age about half a crop if it is not damaged by
the present wet spell.
A correspondent from Talboton thus writes
to the Macon Telegraph concerning the crops :
Messrs. Editors: I write to say the prospect
of the crops is still poor. Fely or none have
near as much of cotton planted as they ex
pected to cultivate. The stands from old seed
have dwindled and died out to sucli an extent
that much' of it has been plowed up and plant
ed in corn. Those who had new seed, and
have been enabled to have the grass taken out
in time, their cotton looks well. I think many
lelt less interest in the cotton when they saw
it was almost certain there would be a tax of
five cents a pound laid upon it. Yonr subscri
ber, and doubtless many others, began to plow
lip, and plant corn, under such a tariff. It is,
and has been for several weeks past, very hard
to get tlie negroes to chop it out last enough,
or work anything like as much asunder the old
standard. The women are a nuisance on all
the plantations I have heard from, and the men
favoring it, many of their children large enough
to do good service are kept to wait on the lazy
creatures. Already many have quit work, and,
alter a few weeks, it is more than probable
many more will eitlici; be driven oil', or leave of
their own accoi'd, under some trivial pretext. 1
am fully convinced that most of the negro men
are working just about enough to keep from
being driven olf, more particularly in the neigh
borhood of bureaus dud villages, lie assured,
Messrs. but lew planters, who can
avoid it, will risk yicif; timnmid mfgus a|ain
with any such a laboring class.
Wheat cutting has commenced, and is badly
injured with the rust. A brail-a crop maybe
realized. it is hopcd*enough
Will be made to feed the pi owing stock, to finish
tke-evop. The.growing corn crop is late, but
is taking a good start now. * The supply of old
corn is about exhausted, and even if wo make
* a half crop of wheat, I can hardly see how the
masses are to get bread. Wc liave had too
iuucl»*uiu, and now too,much grass, but with
more-propitious weather we may make a good
corn crop, but hardly half a cotton crop. The
low ground 6»op ’ (an important item) is just
now being planted again, and may yet make a

Northern Civilisation.
Mr. Moore, the learned historian, whose mer
ciless exposure of the revolting and hideous
features of slavery as it existed and was prac
ticed in New England for a century and a quar
ter, has given general satisfaction North and
South, seems to have stumbled upon a rich and
inexhaustible mine, in which many eager work
ers will soon be delving and exploring.
New and still more startling and disgusting
discoveries of New England cruelty, barbarity
and heartlessness are now brought to the sur
face almost every day.
Mrs. Ann 8. Stephens, whose intensely sensa
tional and melo-dramatie romances arc eagerly
read by the admirers of Sylvanus Cobb, Rey
nolds .iiul Ned Buntline, has given Connecticut
almost as hard a rap as Moore gave to Massa
chusetts. Nobody ever suspected that Mrs.
Stephens’ novels were historical and actually
founded upon facts ; but she has published a
letter in a Philadelphia paper, “ claiming that
what and exaggerated in her
very latest bottle of literary gin, “ The Gold
Brick," is founded upon fact.
The three points which criticism has chal
lenged as improbable arc: first, that at the close
of the last century a woman was tried in Con
necticut for child-murder, convicted as guilty
iu the second degree, and sentenced to sit upon
a gallows erected on tUo public common of
New Haven for one hour, with a halter around
her neck, and after that bo confined in the State
prison of Simsbury mines for eight years;
second, that the State prison of Connecticut
was erected over Simalmry copper mines, and
that the prisoners had to work ont their terms
of confinement in these mines; third, that in
these mines was a “sweating oven,” which was
close to the ovens where the bread was baked,
and into which, when heated while the baking
was going on, refractory prisoners were thrust
in extreme eases.
The reply to tlie first of these three points is
historical and strictly true; that some time be
tween 1815 and 18110 a very young woman, con
victed at New llaven ol murder in tlie second
degree, was sentenced to imprisonment, pre
ceded by sitting upon a public gallows on the
public green or square of that city, with a hal
ter around be neck, for one hour; that this
punishment was in every respect carried out,
iu the presence of a multitude ,of witnesses,
many of whom are now living.
Ou the second point Mrs. Stephens alleges
that Simsbury copper mines “were used us a
State prison until about the year 1880, alien the
present structure at Weatherslield was com
pleted that this prison is now a ruin, but was
visited iu 18215 by Mrs. Stephens’ lather, who
spent a day in examining it, and that her de
scription of the prisoners descending, one by
one, through a narrow trap to tlic.ir sleeping
places in the black depths of the mine, is “word
for word as he described the scene to her many
a time in after years.”
As to the third point, Mrs. Stephens says that
five years ago, When the idea of writing her
book came.into her mind, slic sent a relative to
examine this abandoned prison, who described
it to her as it then stood, and doubtless now
stands, “the mines in wlrreli the prisoners slept,
the oven where bread was baked, and close to
it the sweating-closet which’ used, for pun
ishment in extreme eases."
The New York Police Gazette also gives the
following as the bill of criminal fare in the
'•‘Hub ot Creation” for the past week. It is a
sad catalogue of sin and death:
1. Thomas Moran was tried and sentenced to
he hanged for the murder of his mistress.
2. .fohn Gallagher,Ja murderer, gets off with
the years’ imprisonment, and “expresses sur
prise that lie Was not hanged.”
8. llayan Barnard, the keeper of the Alms
House, debauches the deaf and dumb paupers
entrusted to liis care.
4. George Nickerson ruins his own daughter.
No mention is made of the ordinary criminal i
docket.
Tiie Power of ciphers. —The enlightened
limn may have a clear understanding ol‘ t hous
ands, and even millions ; but much beyond that
he can form no distinct idea. A simple exam
ple, and one easily solved, will illustrate the
observation. If all the vast bodies of water
that cover nearly three-fourths of the globe
were emptied, drop by drop, into one grand
reservoir, the whole number of drops could be
written by two words, “ eighteen sectillions,”
and expressed in figures by annexing twenty
four ciphers to the number of eighteen, (18,000,-
000,000,000,000,000,000,000.) Man might as well
attempt to explore the bounds of eternity as to
form any rational idea the units embodied in
the expression above; for although the aggre
gate of drops is indicated by figures in the
space of only one inch and a halt ordinary print,
yet, if each particular drop were noted by a
separate stroke, like the figure 1, it would form
a line of marks sufficiently long to wind round
the sun six thousand billions of times !
Now, observe, if you please, the marvelous
power or value which the ciphers, insignificant
by themselves, give to the significant figures 18. i
The young reader will be surprised to learn
that the use of the cipher to determine the
value of any particular figure, which is now
practiced by every school boy, was unknown to
the ancients. Therefore, among the Greeks
and Homans, and other nations of antiquity,
arithmetical operations were exceedingly te
dious and difficult. They had to reckon with
little pebbles, shells, or beads, used as counters,
to transact the ordinary, business of life. Even
the great Cicero, in his oration for Koscius, the
actor, in order to express 300,000, had to make
use of the very awkward and cumbrous notation,
cccioop CCCTDOO ccciaoo. How very odd this

China, and the Cooi.ie Trade.— A conven
tion has been entered into at Pekin between the
British and French Ministers and the Chinese
Government, whereby it will now be permitted,
under 'certain restraints and regulations, for
any person residing in one of the open ports of
China to obtain from his consul a license to
open a coolie emigration office. Previous to
granting a license the consul will have to assure
liimsMfof the solvency and respectability of
the applicant, but when the license has been
"ranted it cannot lie withdrawn except upon
sufficient grounds,-and then only with the con
sent of the consul. The Chinese employed by
the eini"ration agent to find him emigrants will
be provided with a special license, and will be
alone responsible for any actions he may com
mit in contravention of the laws of the Empire.
Rules are laid down to secure the Chinese coolm
from ill-treatment, or from the chance of not
being able to return to his country. No obsta

Another Estimate of the Cotton Crop.
Jackson, Miss., May 24th, 1800,
Mb. Editor : In the conclusion of an article,
which appeared in the Clarion and Standard of
this date, headed Cotton Crop of 1806,” you
say, “ we incline tdtheflgures we have produced
as our estimate of the crop, and we hope it they
can be rotated, some of our ‘ wiseacres’ win do
it.” Without any wish on iny part, of being
considered entitled to any such distinction, I
proceed to make a correction, taking, as yofi
haye done, an average crop before the war, say
4,000,000 bales as my basis. If 4,000,000 bales
were produced in 313 working days, how manv
jvill be produced in 201—answer, 3,335,463 -
provided the negroes work as well as they did
bet ore the war. Supposing they do only two
thirds the amount of w ork, we make a reduction
of one-third; this gives the result 2,223,04:1
bales, supposing the number fit laborers the
same as existed before the war. So fur, Mr.
Editor, otrr ffguremgree. Yonr next reduction
is only one-third for labor now employed and
in' 1860, in which I think yon are in error. By
reference to the statistics of the Cotton Grow
ing Association, published in your paper of
this date, you will find the number of hands to
be less than oae-half.
It is trub the reports as yet received by the
Cotton Growing Association are lewin number,
but I am ihcliJcd to the opinion that the Asso
ciation will in a short time he able to furnish
sueli full, reliable information as will establish
-the fact beyond doubt that If here is *ot the pre
•simtWcar more than one-half''the numl»er of
nJgjfSjea employed in the cotton fields as were
employe’diu 1800. 1 deduct one-half from
the last figures, the result of which is 1,111,821
bales' as the estimate of the coming crop. As
you.state. 11 It supposes (he Beasou to be fa
vorable Ipt cottoil, for jf took a favorable season
to produce an average crop of 4,000,000 before
the war.”
When ye take into onpsidiTation the unfavor
able season, the overflow, bad stands in conse
quence of planting old seed, late planting and
other causes, I make a further reduction of one
third, the result of which is 741,214 bales as a
lair estimate of the cotton crop of 1860.
Below is another •calculation based on the
number of acres in cultivation in 1860, which
you can publish if you think proper.
Acres in cultivation in 1800, 8,000,000, pro
ducing 4,000,000 bales; acres in. cultivation iu
1860,2,006,606 producing 1,333,333 bales; de
duct for casualties one-third, 444,444 bales,
making the estimated crop for ’00888,889 bales.

Wendell Phillips' Fortune —Where he Got It.
“Wendell Phillips lias an income of $60,000
a year.”— [ Exchange .
Thn aliove announcement, which is going the
rounds of the newspapers is of no extraordi
nary importance, only it serves “to point a
moral and adorn a tale,” That Wendell Phil
lips is a man of geat wealth, is a fact which
nobody who knows him will deny. An income
of SOO,OOO a yeqr is certainly an evidence that
he is in no imminent danger of coming to want.
But the fact that he is immensely rich provokes
the inquiry how lie became so. Although a
gentleman of,education, we have never heard
of his bciugajstinguishcd in either of the learn
ed professions. Tt is not known that' he ever
performed a day’s labor in liis life, in any de
partment, of produotive industry. We hear
nothing of him as a successfnl merchant.
He is only known as a strenuou.4 advocate of
the rankest form of abolitionism, arid as an ex
tremist among the most extreme haters of the
South and its institutions; but the public are
not informed of any Instances in which the sin
cerity of his regard for the African race has tieen
illustrated by any acta of generosity towards
that unfortunate class of mankind. If it will
riot lie considered disrespectful, we would like
to lie told, by some of bis many admirers, how
much of that income of SOO,OOO a year lias been
expended by that distingislied philanthropist,
either for the benefit of the poor white people
in Ills own vicinity or for the amelioration ol
tlie condition of the poor black people iu other
and more remote, localities. And while they
are about it, they will confer a great favor upon
and admiring public by letting Vis know how
tills Mr. Phillips came by his wealth. We know
that lie never earned it by the sweat ol his brow,
nor the useful employment of the mental abili
ties which the God of nature bestowed upon
him. The presumption is that he inherited the
fortune which yields him the annual income of
SOO,OOO, and it is more than probable that lie
knows where it came from, and how it was
accumulated.
Much as we dislike tlie principles of tlie man,
we cannot be persuaded to say a word to his
disparagement that is not founded in truth.
But the announcement which stands at the head
of this article should lie accompanied, wherever
ittgoes, by the fact, which will hardly be denied
that Wendell Phillips inherited his wealth from
ancestors who accumulated immense fortunes
by the manufacture of, and tratie in, New Eng
land rum, and by the African trade. For a con
firmation of the truth of this stat ement we ap
peal to Dr. Cheever, now of New York, who
was horsewhipped in the streets of Salem,
Mass., for writing the story about Deacon
Giles’ distillery, and to those now living who
were in the employ of tlie Phillipses while their
vessels were in the trade of the west eoast of
Africa. The woilder is that this muu, who
knows where his money came from, and how
it was obtained, does not make restitution to
the extent of liis ability, instead of a vast nml
worthless expenditure of words in professions
of philanthropy. Restitution, while the highest
proof of sincerity, is also an essential element
of honor, honesty and justice. And, now that
Hie negroes, emancipated at the instigation of
Wendell Phillips and his admirers, are in a
helpless and almost hopeless condition, it may
not be too much to expect that a portion of his
wealth will be disgorged for their relief.
Wliat it Costs to Govern England—Her
Army and Navy.
The civil service, army and navy estimates
for the coining year, now before the British
Parliament, amount to .£32,482,153, or $162,-
415,705, divided as follows: Civil service,
£8,000,0110; army, £14,005,000; navy, £10,388,-
153. borne of the items of these accounts arc
interesting.
The palaces, cost. £40,000, and £90,000 more
go lor the adornment of the royal parks. Fifty
thousand pounds are set apart for the erection
of a building to contain the natural history col
lections ot tlie British Museum, and a similar
amount lor the purchase of a site for the en
largement of the National Gallery. The “Poor
Law Commissions” of England, Ireland and
Scotland entail an expense of £243,000; and
the “ Secret Service ” demands £32,000. Print
ing and stationery cost, £357,000, and the port
age of.letters on flic public service in the dc-t
partment is £138,000. Education costs £l,-
300,000, and the number of scholars is enimat
ed at a million. The Colonial rulerswecelvif
£IOO,OOO, and nearly £50,000 go for the sup
port and conveyance of captured negroes and
liberated Africans, and the salaries of the Mi- cl
Commission established under treaties with
foreign powers for suppressing the traffic in
slaves, besides the expense incurred in main
taining ships for this purpose.
The army consists of 138,117mcn of all ranks,
divided as follows: Regiments, 128,'£12 ; depots
in the United Kingdom qf regiments in India,
8,982; general staff, 93 ; establishments, 548;
educational establishments, 281. Os the total,
7,150 are officers; 13,454 uon-coramissioued
officers, and 117,513 rank and file. The military
service in Canada costs £008,000; in Novia
Scotia, 8193,000.
The navy comprises 705 vessels of all classes,
of which only 193 arc hi commission, carrying
3,930 guns. Sixteen ships carry from 70 to
104 guns iu each ; and the ironclad fleet, num
bers eleven vessels, carrying 216 guns. Twenty-;
eight war vessels are building; one of which is*
an iron-clad. Both the aggregate of naval ves
sels and of commissioned ships is less than*
those of last year.
The British navy costs more than the Ameri
can, according to the respective estimate" for the
year 1806-7. The former is kept, up at a cost of
$50,000,000; the latter for 143,000,000. The cost,
of the British navy is double that of our present
establishment, the figures being as follows:

reroutes tx Alabama.-Mi*. George E.
Salle, whose residence is somewhere on the
Alabama river, sent, to the Mobile
a few days ago, an interesting account of a
phenomenon that, occurred under his own ob
servation. The following is his letter to the
Tribune:
Tuesday, May 15th, 1866.—1 herewith send
you some meteoric earth and siliceous stone
which fell yesterday and to-day in my yard and
the yard of one of my negro women, which is
a hundred yards from my own. They com
menced falling yesterday about nine o’clock,
and continued falling all day at intervals. None
that fell yesterday appeared to have been sub
jected to heat. The siliceous stone, when it
fell, was so hot that it could not he held in the
naked hand. The latter (the siliceous stone)
fell to-day abonfti quarter after twelve o’clock
by the clock. The larger piece of earth, which
you see, has been subjected to a high degree of
heat, fell a few minutes afterwards. It was so
hot that the girl who brought it to me was
compelled to bring it in her apron.
Sunday, the 13th, the sky was lowering, and
about ten o’clock a very angry cloud formed on
the’northeast, and extended around to a little
south of west, with heavy thunder and vivid
lightning. Yesterday the sky all dgy was as
clear as a clirystal, not a speck of could to be
seen. To-day there are clouds to be seen,
what sailors call white caps, but no tliuuder up
to this moment —twenty-one minutes past one.
There is not one of my family, white or black,
but would unhesitatingly swear to tlie truth aud
accuracy of the above stated facts. I have not
seen any of my neighbors'since Sunday, to learn
of them whether the like phenomenon oceured
with them.
Seheedler’s Book of Nature, translated by
Medloek, speaks of water spouts, meteoric iron
and meteoric stones, but docs not say a word
about, tbe beat. It. will not do to say they are vol
canic. Where is the volcano ? There is not a
brick kiln or fuanace of any kind, that 1 am
aware of, nearer than Mobile.
Very respectfully, &c.,
George F. Salle.
P. B.—Wednesday morning six o’clock.—
The storm last night, just at the close of day
light, fell in a shower, some as large as your
fist. This morning, about six o’clock, the
large grey stone, which I herewith send you,
fell in the presence of my wife. She immedi
ately picked it up and brought it to me.'lt was
warm but not hot.

sources that some of the bouses announced as

In the Treasury statement which we give be
low it will be seen that the paper circulation on
the Ist of May was $930,808,471 —au enormous
amount, and totally disproportionate to the le
gitimate business of the country. This paper
is accumulated in tlie business centres, and, as
business is everywhere dull, its chief employ
ment must be in speculation. Hence it is that
all kinds of stocks are quoted at prices far be
vond their intrinsic value, aud a heavy'mq)
sudden decline in them before midsummer
may be expected. With this superabundance
of paper the Treasury could not put out a live
per cent, loan at par with any certainty of suc
cess.
Tlie following statement, in a letter to Sena
tor Sherman from the Secretary ol the Treasu
ry, will lie found very important. From that
document it appears that the amount of the

of American Israelites.
The Seventh Annual Convention of the
Board of Delegates of American Israel
ites met in New York on Sunday’afternoon.
Forty-eight congregations were represented
by two delegates each, and seventy-six
were expected to he represented by next Mon
day: v
In the absence of Judge Cardoso, President
of the Board, the Vice President, E. Joseplii,
Esq., proceeded to occupy the chair and called
the meeting to order. After a prayer, the
Chairman briefly addressed the assembled dele
gates, and in a few felicitous remarks welcom
ed the.strangers to the city, congratulating I lie
Convention that the time had come at length
when Israelites from all sections of the country,
could meet and hold friendly communion. Sub
sequent to the delivery of Mr. Josephi’s ad
dress, the Executive Committee asked leave to
present their report.
The voluminous document, read for the ben
efit. of the assemblage, contained considerable
information. From the report of the Execu
tive Committee, it appeared that a sunt of $15,-
000 had been subscribed by American Israelites
for tlie relict of the cholera-stricken Jews of
Palestine. Os this amount $12,977 had been
expended, a balance of $3,123 remaining in the
hands of tin: Treasurer at latest dates, the same
to he appropriated toward tlie building of a
Jewish almshouse iu Jerusalem.
Adverting to the progress of tlie age, the
Executive Committee alluded with pride to
the fact that the rights of Jewish citizens ot
Switzerland had been restored to them, and
called attention to the significance of the news,
setting forth that, for the first time in history,
a Christian Emperor—the Emperor of Austria
—had made an attack on his Jewish subjects
pretext for sending an army into an adjoining
kingdom.
Having spoken of the improved condition of
Ihe Israelites of Persia, the report proceeded
to invite attention to the project put forward by
the French alliance, Israelite-Univcrselle, rela
tive to the establishment of Jewish free schools
in the Orient, discussed tlie expediency of found
ing a Jewish theological seminary for the edu
cation of candidates for the ministry, recom
mended the adoption of a system of distribution
of Jewish tracts for the better diffusion of re
ligious knowledge, and finally urged upon tlie
members of the Convention tlie necessity of
laboring energetically in the cause of Judaism,
and of resisting all encroachments made on
civil and religious liberty. At the close of the
reading of tlie report, a motion for its accept
auce was carried, subsequent to which the doc
ument was referred to a committee of appor
tionment, of which Messrs. Abraham 8. Cohen,
of New York, Newman Colion, of Charleston,
8. C., n.nl M. Allen, of Fort Wayne, Indiana,
were appointed members.
Funeral of Lieutenant General Scott.
Tltc funeral of the late Lieutenant General
Winfield Scott, which took place at West
Point, New York, on the Ist instant, was at
tended by a large number of distinguished
military and naval officers and eminent civil
ians. It is estimated that about 15,000 persons
were present on tlie occasion. The Newark
Advertiser has the subjoined account of the
solemnities:
The religious services took place in the
chapel, but the.building was too small to admit
more than a small portion of the thousands who
were present. Tlie ceremonies within doors
were only the simple and solemn office for the
dead of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and
were participated in by the more distinguished
of the persons present. Outside the chapel the
procession was formed In readiness, with the
grim, eagle faced General Meade at its head.
Soon the (fcaors were opened, and the splendid
coffin containing the hopo.reil remains of the
old hero w*as borne out and placed in full view
on an open catafalque of most appropriate con
struction. I t was an artillery carriage with a
gracefully dnipVd platform, the “ fifth wheel ”
locked on behind as usual, being one that had
served through Mexico in Duncan's battery,
and having the names of the battles in which it
had taken part painted tipOn it.
We need not go into the details of the proces
sion. With the, brave and stern General Meade
at its head and hands playing mournful dirges,
it swept on around the parade in fjlately order,
cadets, soldiers, a battery of artillery, the clergy
—Right Rev. Bishop Pot ter, of New York, Chap
lain French, Rev. Mr. Warren, of Elizabeth, aud
Rev. Mr. Hoffman—and then the body. The
pall-bearers were Vice Admiral Farragut, Rear
Admiral Palmer, Commodore Ringgold, Ma jor
General Cullitm, Major General Townsend, Ma
jor General Sanford, Major General Van Vliet,
Major General Deufieid aud Major General
Meigs. Next came the, horse, a heavy aud aged
charger, worn out like his master, aud draped
in mourning. The servants, the mourners, the
congressional delegation, officers of the post, of
the volunteers and militia, of the navy, aud of
the general stall of the army, followed. Then
came the Governors of States, and well to the
rear came the living hero, General Grant.
The scene was one to live in the memory, as
the liue, not so imposing as many we have seen,
but containing so many of historic fame and
distinguished worth, swept along past the mon
ument of the gallant Kosciusko, and wiudiug
slowly around the beautiful parade, returned
nearly to the point of shirting before it turned
aside to tlie cemetery iu which lies buried so
much of tbe nation’s precious dust. AH the
time as the column moved the minute gun sent
its mournful thunder, reverberating among tbe
mountain sides. At the grave, Bishop Potter
aud Chaplain French repeated thtvterviceofthe
church, and at last the coffin was lowered, the
earth scattered and rattled above it, the vollcvs
were fired, and that was the last of the old
chieftain. The bands struck up their liveliest
airs, and the crowd thronged back to the land
ing.
TnE Negro Fails as a Master.—A letter to
the New York Herald, from Port Royal, S. C.,
dated the 17th May, says:
The experiment of making the negro a plant
er on his own account has failed as a hundred
other experiments with the negro have tailed.
Those who had land orders last year, and were
iu a position to grow twenty or thirty acres of
cotton for themselves, have this year not a cent
to bless themselves with, and have been living
on charity all the winter. A planter on Edisto
island assured me that every morning from a
Inquired to a hundred and fifty former owners
of These certificates —(“tiffities” the negroes
generally call them, but one darkey called them
“tiffnenes”)—come to him begging for food or
work. In the first place, they raised miserable
crops; iu the next, they were robbed by North
ern speculators, working under tbe shadow of
tlie Bureau, of what little they did raise. We
saw one farm that is now cultivated by freed
men themselves, without assistance or super
vision, in fair condition; but ope only. 1 In fact
the experience of the sea islaud is, that the
freedraen properly treated, make excellent
laborers, and will work well on shares, but fall
as masters.”

Death is sad at all times, hut when a “loved ind
loving" child is tom frojn the embrace of doting pa
rents, there is a deeper poignancy to the grief which
crushes and overwhelms the heart.
Nbwtis was a cldld possessing peculiarly attractive
manners, which endeared him to the hearts of to.
whom he was known, and the tears of .many friend/
were mingled with those of'the hereaveTpareiitii! <*
the “Angel of DeSlb’’ carried him to a hetterfnd
brighter sphere.
Many hopes and many fond anticipations have f;en
rudely blasted in tim sudden dcatii of this deleted
child, but his parents, bereaved though they jtefc-1
themselves to lie, know that among the “ La ini* oi
the Flock ’’ he wanders “in green pastures and be
side still waters,” and the Good Shepherd carries him
tenderly in Ilis bosom.
■When our darling died, we said,
With a sudden secret dread, ' *—^
Death be-merclful, and pass; .
Leave our loved one, hut alas!
While we watched, he wailed there,
One foot on tlie Golden Stair, f
One liand beckoning at the gate,
Till the home was desolate. •
Friends say it is better so
Clothed in innocence, to go —
Bay, to ease the purling pain,
That “ our loss is hut liis gain." <
Ah! the parents think of this!
But remember more —the kiss
From Hie little rose-red lips—
And the print of linger tips!
Only time can give relief .
To the weary lonesome grief.
God’s sweet Minister of pain.
Then shall sing of loss and gain.

It. is certainly a grand establishment, add speaks fa
vorably of flic merit oi his articles. He, retains Ills
(liltre and Laboratory in this city, which are also
model establishments of their class.
The proprietor has been induced to make this state
ment from the fact that ins remedies, alt hough adver
tised, are
GENUINE PREPARATIONS,
and knowing that the intelligent refrain from using
any thing pertaining to Quackery, or th»vPatent Medi
cine order -most of which are prepared by self-styled
Doctors, who are too Ignorant to read a physician’s
simplest proscription, much less competent to prepare
Pharmaceutical preparations.
THESE PARTIES RESORT
to various means of effecting sales, such as copying
parts of advertisements of popular remedies and fin
ishing with certificates.
The Science of Medicine stands SIMPLE, PURE
AND MAJESTIC, havidgFaet for its Basis, Induc
tion for its Pillar, Truth alone lor its Capital.
A WORD OF CAUTION.
Health is most important.; and the afflicted should
not use an advertised medicine, or any remedy, unless
