Where did the Thousand Dollars Go P
My neighbor lives in the country. He
owns a house and two acres of land. He
has a cow, horse and poultry. His income
from various sources amounts to one
thousand dollars a year. He has a wife
and two little children. He is always
hard up for money. He neither drinks,
gambles, smokes, nor chews tobacco. His
wife and children are healthy. He is
able to eat his allowance.
I‘Where does the money go?”
It is not laid out on fine carriages or
fast horses. He does not give or attend
fashionable parties. He seems to have
no follies, no vices that call for expendi
ture of money. iNeitber the tax-gather
er, rents, or sickness, eat at bis substance.
Then “where does the money go? ’
Let us make him a visit! We rap at

chair. The lire is stirred up, and wood

and persists in sticking out at the end. A

Underground Jerusalem-An Inter
esting Exhibition in London.
An interesting exhibition is about to
open iu the Dudley Gallery of the Egyp
tian Hail, iu Londou. The numerous
collections of the Palestine Exploration
iu aud about Jerusalem, with various au
tique relics from other parts of the Holy
Land, brought home by Mr. M’Gregor,
the geutlemau who made the receutVe
inarkable voyage iu the cauoe Rob Roy
upon the waters of Syria and Palestine,
have been arranged for general inspection,
with a series of nearly three hundred and
liny photographic views, taken iu all
parts of the .country. The London Tel
egraph says:
Lieutenant Warren, as is well known,
has been industriously uncovering the
vgryjoots of the ancient city iu the ser
vice of tile Palestine Exploration Society.
His subterranean labors have revealed
what may he called stratified Jewish his
tory. He has gone down ninety feet in
one spot, and, at the corner of the Haram
especially, at the depth of eighty feet, he
has disclosed the foundatiou-stones of the
old Temple, standing upon the living
rock, besides chambers, walls, aqueducts,
cisterns aud arches, which begin, after in
credible toil, to arrange themselves into
au intelligible plau, revealing to us the
real Jerusalem of the pa3t. Those excava
tions have earried back research, iudeed,
to the days preceding Solomon ; for in one
spot a watercourse of masonry has been
ouud passing under the temple wail it
?lf, and there; are relies ;iu this exlii
“.tion which come from that very place
ihe bottom of the Birket Israii, or Pool
Bethesda, also contributes to the col
ction, as well as the wall of Ophel aud
te Tyropceum Valley ; aud at the foot of
'esouthseast angle ofthe Great Earn
'd, which now sustaius the mosques of
and Aksa, have been unveiled
ues bearing letters, incised with achis
or painted in red. These have been
fatrdied by Mr. Deutsch, aud declared to
beeoustructiou-marks of the Phoenician
masons who built the Temple. The sac
similes of them ihus far brought home are
very much like the first attempt of a
small boy to make figures upon his slate •
but they are assuredly of immense au
tiquity, and uo doubt they represent, as
is stated, the actual metnorauda of the
jfTvne layers of Tyre and Bidou, “who
u&k the contract” from Solomon, the
kipg, to build hi 9 Temple. Kroui similar
mines of archteological wealth Lieuten
ant Warren sends us iu this exhibition
various kinds hitherto exhumed.
The treasure-trove is, of course, of dif
ferent epochs, and very varying iu im
portance. There is a square brick from
beneath the Hill of Ophel, which is kiln
jJked, and comes from Ihe city as it ex
isted at aud before the time of Christ. By
the side of that relic are deposited three
lor four baiista balls, roughly chipped out
of stone, and weighing from five to fif
teen pounds, which we found in the de
brlß of the Typropoeum, and most proba
bly were flung into the city by the be
sieging army of Titus. Readers of Jose
phus will recollect how watchmen upon
the walls of Jerusalem used to look out
for those stone shots and cry, “The white
hoU cometh.” Here they are just as the
icUiatam discharged them; and, although
nothiDg when compared with an Arm- ;
strengthen, they must have been awk
ward things to encounter. , j
A fragment of mortar and concrete from
the bottom of the Pool of Bethesda shows
that the water was artificially contained
in that receptacle, if, indeed, the Birkel
Tsra'd be the same. A specimen of pot
terv from the Cave of Adullam lakes us
away from Jerusalem, and suggests
thoughts at once modern and political,
vet, in truth, Baul himself may have
used the broken pipkin. .
Lieutenant Warren aitd his party send
us from the vaults below the area of the
Great Mosque, some fragments of pitch
ers aud cups which are thought to be true
Phoenician. They are singularly like the
ceramic ware ofthe Kabyles mAlgenas
regards color and ornamentation, but
[be reds and yellows upon them are the
natural earth-dyes of all potters, and the
lozenge patterns those also which are the
easiest to make. None of the articles are
perfect enough to allow of a judgment
from their shape, which is a surerguide
than color or pattern in ancient earthen
ware. Along with these, however, are
Millie very pretty and neatly fa»
leat thi of an unique form, which, although
very simple, are perfectly true in
aud are rendered positively elegant by
their correct shape.
There 'is au especially striking round
bellied vessel from “Robinson's Arch,”
discovered at seventy-two feet below the
surface, of dark, red clay, aud almost as
thiD as buiscuit ehiua. II may h«-ve held
the “hue Hour mingled with oil, or the
“drink offering of wine, the fourth part
of a bin,” presented when “Kore, the son
of Irnuali, the Levite, was porter toward
the East, over the precious offerings, in
the reign of Hezekiah. With these are
mingled some curious little jars of a more
primitive type—believed to be Bidoniau
—though, as they are of exactly the sipme
shade of color, aud made apparently of
the same clay, they may, as likely as not,
have been Jewish vessels to contain oil or
essence in religious or domestic use.
Under Mount Sion have been found
spindle-shaped vessels, Hinall, and possess
ing the character of “lachrymatories.”
Those remains are very puzziug. Among
the most ancient of the number may be
uoticed a saucer-shaped piece, of good
manufacture aud perfect gjape, which ex
actly resembles the articles made iu the
Punjab to hold camela'-milk cheese,
though it may very well be, for aught we
know, the identical “lordly dish” in
which Jael, the wife of Heher the Keuite,
brought butter to Bisera—preserved iu
the Temple—or one of the “empties” not
returned to the Queen of Sheba, after her
celebrated visit, with so many presents, to
tlie spot which is here for the first time
laid bare after four thousand years.
These objects at once so old aud new,

A Lost Nation.
A writer in the Natal Mercury, under
dale of the 2d of February, 1869, says,
when treating of the ruins of Simbaoe:
“A day’s march from Audowa, between
two bills, at the end of a vast and fertile
valley, are tlie ruins of Axum. To this
day incredible flights of stone steps con
duct the traveler up to the summits of tlie
hills, in one of which are found deep grot
toes and vast halls cut out of tlie rock aud
ornamented witli columns. There, ac
cording to the traditions of the country,
is tiie tomb of the Queen of Baba. Tlie
adjoining valley, shaded by majestic trees,
is tilled by the remains of tlie city, con
sisting of huge blocks of stone. Very lit
tle of the debris reveal their former pur
pose. They may, however, he distin
guished two groups of fourteen or fifteen
obelisks, thrown down. Beveu of them
are covered with ornaments, aud are not
less tliau thirty-six feet in length. These
masterpieces of aucieut architecture re
veal to us tiie fact of an aucieut civiliza
tion in the heart of Africa, which has dis
appeared again thousands of ye tis since.
Niebuhr tells us of a mighty Abyssinian
empire existing here, mentioning in par
ticular Baba, aud says it was so powerful
that even tlie Roman and Persian strength
could not prevail against it. This last
statement was taken from a Greek in
scription found among tiie ruins, engrav
ed iu stone. Oil the reverse side is auoth
er engraving, iu some ancient language,
which lias not yet been deciphered. Tlie
savage tribes guard these ruins with jeal
ous care. No living animal is allowed to
be killed in them, uo tree permitted to be
destroyed, everything connected with
them being sacred, as belonging either to
a good or evil power. A missionary, who
penetrated within a short distance of tlie
ruins, writes: “In this country were also
found some very old guns in a hole in tlie
mountain. We got one of the locks of
these guns, and found it to have a wheel
outside, with cogs or teeth ; aud a tradi
tion exists tliAt they came from these
ruins. Tlie Basutos often tell us, wtien
asked if they acknowledge God, about
tlie big stones iu tlie Bauyai, where all
created tilings are to he seen, even
sphinxes, pyramidal shaped buildings and
catacombs.” —Letter in (he Atheneum.

The Stained Frock.
It was the bright, sunny, but delight
ful afternoon of a summer Sabbath. In
the pleasant chamber wiiere the mother
worked aud the children played, during
the week, they bad gathered for their
after-dinner season of talk and prayer.
These were very precious seasons to both
mother aud children.
During the week the mother watched
for the lesson most needed, aud also for
some incident, some paragraph, oratory
by means of which she could most easily
and effectually give tiie lesson, flually
leading up to the “Thou sbalt not,” or
the “Thus saith the Lord,” of holy writ.
At this time she found her oldest daugh
ter, Elien, a little inclined to choose an
unsuitable hook for Sunday reading, while
baby Robert, having learned the fourth
commandment, whether he understood it
or not, found great difficulty in obeying
it. The mother read a little story upon
Sabbath-breaking, and set the whole sub
ject so plainly before them, that after the
prayer was ended, baby Robert whispered,
“Mamma, may I print God, and pick the
letters, thinking about him all the time ?”
When he was dismissed with glad per
mission, and the others had gone to their
father, Ellen remained. Nestling close
beside her mother, she said, softly .
“Seems to me, I’m just like the Lizzie
in that story.”
“I don’t see much resemblance, daugh
ter. But why do you think so?”
“If I forget and do wrong, I can not be
happy a moment, aud only find out why,
when I remember that I am doing wrong.
Theu, whether I forget, or do wrong on
purpose, I am sure to get punished, one
way or auother, just as she did. Don’t
you remember the vase I dropped aud
broke? I truly had forgotten that you
had told me not to touch it, and theu you
said you had bought it for my next birth
day present.”
“Yes, I remember it well.”
“Then one day I \va9 unfaithful about
my practicing aud sewing, because I
wanted lo tiuish a story I was reading.
Wheu you came home, you questioned
me, which you seldom do, 0! so closely,
that I had to tell you all about it, and you
locked the book up for a whole week.”
Eden remained silent, but the mother
asked:
"Any thing else, Ellen !”
“Why, there is Mary Ellett, she seems
just as happy when she has disobeyed her
mother us wheu she has obeyed her, and
says never auy thing happens to her if she
clues do as she is a mind to. Clara Cotton
don’t seem to care what she does, if it is
not unladylike, iu order to have a good
time, as she is just as happy as a bird.
Mother, it seems hard when I almost al
ways try to do right, that I should suffer
so if I do wrong, aud especially when I
forget.”
The mother drew her arm a little closer
arouud this dear child, only twelve years
old, while she sent her thoughts here and
there for au illustration, and to the -\li
wise for help to make this rough place
plain After a moment’s silence she said •
“Do you remember the children we saw
in Biauk-street the other day, when we
were going to the boat?”
"Yes, and how dirty they were! If
they rolled over iuto the mud they did
not care one bit, nor try to clean them
selves.”
“What do you suppose was the reason,
dear?”
“I am sure I don’t know.”
“Did you notice auy babies
thorn ?”
“Yes, numbers of them, and they were
ail the same. O, I know! They have
never been taught to be clean, and do uot
know how nice it is.”
“They seemed to be happy in theiridlrt,
did they not?”
“Yes, happy enough about the dirt, but
they quarreled a great deal.” .
“Do you remember the little girl sitUng
near us on the boat, who had a splasb ot
mud on herfre»b, white frock ?”
“Fe3, indeed, and how uueaay she was
till the mud had dried, and her mother
bad brushed off all she could ; even theu
she dropped tiie sleeve of the cloak she
carried on her arm, to cover the stain,
aud could uot forget it, after all.”
“Nor do I think she was quite at rest ;
till the froek had beeu sent to tlie wash.”
“But why do you speak of these things
now. mother?”
“Think a little, Elieu. Perhap9you will
understand.”
The child turned her clear gray eye3 to
hermothers, looking iuto them so intent
ly that she seemed to be reading there the
solution of her question.
“I begin to see. Wrong doing is like
dirt. If we have been taught to do right,
and try to keep from fain generally, we
are just as unhappy if we forget, or mean
to do wrong, as the elean little girl was
about the splash of mud on her frock.”
“Yes, dear, that is something like it.”
“But the others. You did not mean to
say that Mary.Ellett and Clara Cotton are
iike the children we saw tumbliug in the
mud ?”
“We will not judge them. Eilen. But
we must not forget that sin is more loath
some to God tbau any tilth we saw iu
Blank-street is to us. We must try to ab
hor siu as God does. Siuce he has placed
you in such circumstances that you know
something about the foulness of it, and
are unhappy about it, ought you not to
be thankful, aud to pray to God that lie
will keep you sensible of your sins, even
though puuishment is necessary?”
“O, mother, this will help me so much.
I only need to think of the white frock,
and those I saw iu Blank-street, to bring
it ad back.”
‘•T’bera is still another point for yoq to
thinkon. When did the little girl Tool at
rest about the spot on her frock?”
“Only after it was washed, I suppose.”
“And we may be at rest about our sins,
when ?”
“They are washed away in Jesus’ blood.
‘His blood cieauseth from ail sin,’ ” Ellen
answered very softly.
“Yes, dear little daughter. AH sin can
be washed away in that precious fountain.
There is no need to wait for any special
day, as for washing soiled clothing; there
is uo need of goiug to any special room,
or eveu to cross a room to get at the sup
ply ; there is no danger that the stream
will ever fail, or become insufficient for
all. Always wash iu chat stream the mo
ment you know you are staiued with sin.
“ Think how fearful it would be to stand
before the holy God, with yoursoul in the
condition of those poor children’s bodies,
and then to think of the stream that
would have cleansed ail the smirches if
you would ouiy have washed.”
“Dear mother, I will try ; 1 almost hope
I have been washed.”
After a little happy, encouraging talk,
Ellen was sent to 'her own room, just as
little Robbie appeared, and spread out a
huge sheet of paper with the holiest of
names printed and pricked upon it. Nor
did he fail to receive the praise which is
so helpful to little ones, aud which can
always be given to faithful endeavor,
even though the result is uot perfect.—

How Much Have you Lost?
Little Charles was atsehool, and though
just twelve years old, he was head of the
class iu arithmetic. His father had come
home from his pork, his mother was out
that evening visiting a neighbor whose
boy was very ill of inflammation of the
iuugs, Charles, sitting with his slate, on a
stool near his father, said :
‘‘Now, do please give me au account,
and you will see how soon I will do it.”
“Weil, I will,” his father replied.
“Are you ready? A rich lady once
found lying at her door, one summer
morning, a little baby wrapped iu an old
sbawi. She could not find who laid it
there; but she*resolved to rear it, and
gave it out to nurse, keeping au account
of all it cost .her. When tlie little baby’
had grown up a line boy of twelve years
of age, she wrote out the account thus :

“Now tell me the sum of it.’
Charles, altera liulo explanation, set
to, and by multiplying found out the
figures marked opposite eacii article, and
adding, found that tlie little baby had cost
the lady $!,52">.
“How much money!” tlie boy ex
claimed.
“Yes, it is indeed, Charles,” said the
father, “Do you think you could pay as
much ?”
“Oil, no! I have just one half-dollar
grandpapa gave me.”
“Well, but, my boy, do you know you
have to pay all that, and much more, to a
kind lady ?”
Charles stared.
“Yes! Are you not just twelve years
old; and what kind lady nursed you,
clothed and taught you ? I thought
Charles forgot who did all thi9 for him,
wiien he put on a sulky face ttiis morn
ing, aud went so slowly on mamma’s er
rand to the baker!”
The little face was bent downwards
and covered with blushes.
“Let me see your account, Charles ;
there is something more to put down.
For twelve years mamma has loved you,
watched over you, prayed for you ! tfo
money can fell how much that love and
these prayers are worth ! When you grow
up you might pay the $1,525; but how
will you pay mamma for her love?”
Charles’ eyes tilled with tears. “I will
uot behave so again! I can never pay
what I have coat her!”
When mamma came home, Charles
showed her the account. She kissed him,
aud said, “Oh 1 if my Charlie grows up
to be a good man, I will be well paid for
ail.”— S. S. Star.
Mbs. Sarah E. Evans, the youngest
child of the lamented Dr. Wm. Booth,
dec’d, was born iu Quincy, Fla , Nov.
9th, 1836, and died, after a protracted and
painful illness, on 29th August, 1869, at
the residence of her brother-in-law, Dr.
C. A. Heutz.
Sister Evaus possessed a remarkably
fine intellect, in the cultivation of which
neither pains nor expense were spared.
Her advantages iu youth were very fine,
and her education was completed at the
Wesleyan Female College, Macon, Ga.,
where in 1853, she graduated with the
second honor of her class In Oct. 1857,
she was married to Capt. James O. Evans,
who preceded her to the grave only a lit
tle more than five months, leaving her in
broken health, with three small children
to engage her toil and care From the
time of her husband’s decease her health
failed rapidly, attended with great suffer
ing, until relieved by death. She was
happily converted iu her youth, but lost
the witness of the Spirit through Indul
gence iu worldly amusements. In this
state she remained until some lime after
her return from College, when in a revi
val of religion in the Methodist Church
in this piaee, she was powerfully re
claimed alter a long and desperate strug
gle. But temptations to similar indul
geoees finally overcame her, and she once
more gave herself up to the enjoyment of
worldly amusements. From this time
until within a few days of her death,
though she had long sinee given up all
worldly pleasures, nothing could persuade
her that it was possible for her to recover
the favor of God. She not only felt her
self utterly unworthy of God’s biessing
and confidence, but justly deserving, aud
reserved, for the visitations of His wrath.
Aud rnauy were her alliictions aud be
reavements, all of which she construed
as evidences of this fact. However, site
continued to pray, hut her brokeu cove
nants paralyzed her faith. Bhe tried to
repent, but she never could recover from
the conviction that her twice repudiated
vows vitiated all efforts iu this direction.
Indeed, every elFort that she made to re
turn to God was construed by her own
heart into the fruitless graspings of the
straw the drowning man. Even du
ring the last two weeks of her life, when
each day seemed to be her last, aud when
Bheappeared to be freighting every breath,
and every pulsation of her heart, with
penitential cries and earnest prayers, the
fear that there could be no mercy for her
would uot away at her bidding, but con
stantly presented itself like a terrible
spectre. She would ofteusay “I cau trust
God, but how cau either God, or I. trust
myself?” I would that I couid convey
some adequate idea of how laterally her
heart execrated the fashionable amuse

Dr. Jambs VV. Hiephens, of Colleton,
B. C., died on 23d August, 1869, aged 44
years, 1 month and 29 days.
He had been connected‘with the church
from early manhood, and his walk was
ever marked by close attendance upon all
the means of grace and strict fidelity in
the discharge of duty to his fellow-men ;
but his peculiar temperament prevented
him from making any other exhibition of
religious joy than what might seem to be
the simple result of a consciousness that
he had performed his duty. His religion
consisted more of principle than profes
sion. To each member of the household,
time aud place and duty were assigned ;
but nothing done for mere compliance
with rule, but the rule was so applied as
to secure the accomplishment of each du
ty without clash or fiction. His farm, his
lamily auu his religion were governed
with equal system. He read the Bible
consecutively, and at stated intervals.
The family altar was a fixture immova

for no pastime, but to obtain religious in

ly appreciated the dignity of that high of

ematical structure of mind and methodi
cal style of life, that he found no delight
in the practice of medicine, which he had
therefore abandoned. In conversation he
only uttered actual verities, or gave his
opinion with the utmost caution. He

mourn their loss—his gain. During his
last illness, wheu asked if prepared to

asked if ready, he answered, “No;” wheu
asked if willing to die, he said “Yes;”
and when the inquiry was made, “Do you

was positive, “Os course,” as if astonished

who had known her long aud iutimately
was, that he had “never seen exhibited a
more uniform aud practical example of
piety.’’ One of the virtues that sbone
brightest in her character, was sympathy
for the suffering. For tlie greater portion
of her life, the subject of affliction herself,
she had a heart seu-itive to the ills of oth
ers, aud a baud quick to relieve. Even
in her painful death-sickness, she evinced
unselfish, tender thoughtfulness for the
comfort and happiness of others. She
was a woman of remarkable fortitude aud
energy, aud the remembrance of a life so
beautiful aud brave as hers, is well calcu
lated to incite those who knew aud loved
i her, to like heroism aud usefulness. Thus,
though tiie good die, they yet live. With
perfect composure, she approached “the
valley of the shadow of death ;” for her
“feet” were “shod with the preparation
of the gospel of peace.” A short time
1 before her illness, she expressed herself,
iu conversation with one of her family,
as desiring not to live aud dreading not
to die, and the day before her death, she
said if siie “were still able to iieip those
dear to her, she would prefer to live,
but inasmuch as ‘love’s labor’ was done,
she desired to go where the weary find
rest.” Truly, may such a death inspire
the prayer, “Dei me die the death of the
righteous, aud let my last end be like
his.” God grant that those whom she so
loved may each so iive, as to die in the
“full assurance of faith.”
Joseph Black, Junior, was born in
N. 0., 11th October, 1823, and died in
Forsyth eo., Ga , Sept. 14th, 1869.
He was reared by Christian parents
and when his sainted mother, who en
tered tiie joys of heaven in 1845, was
called to die was cheered by the blessed
knowledge, that, every one of her chil
dren, were members of the Methodist
Church, and all liappiiy converted and
on their way to heaven. He was, uot on
ly a member of the church, but adorned
his profession with an upright life. No
one was ever heard to speak evil or even
lightly of him. In consequence of his
view of paternal obligation, he remained
unmarried until a few months befivre his
d;atli, when he was united in holy wed
lock with Miss Catharine Bell. This was
a happy union of pious and devoted
hearts, but alas, of short duration! On
the morning of the 12th Sept, his wife
and sister-in law, were in a buggy, drawn
by a mule, Bro. B. was walking before,
the mule took a fright, started to run;
Bro. B caught the reins, was thrown by
tbe force of speed between a tree and tbe
fore wheel of the buggy and so badly in
jured that he died in about 48 hours. He
hail been greatly revived a few days be
fore his death at the Lumpkin Camp
meeting. This gracious visitation was a
baptism, preparatory to death. A large
family connection mourn his departure,
perhaps, none feel it more keenly, than
the young widow and aged father. Bro.
B. was an obedient and loving son, a
kind aud affectionate brother, a devoted
husband, a good citizen, a correct mem
ber of tbe church and best of all a true
Christian. His end peace. May God
sustain the heart-stricken bereaved ones,
and may the family circle he complete in
Heaven. J. D. Anthony.
Seaborn J. Lawrence, died In Han
cock eo , on 28th August, 1869, in the
7Sth year of his age.
He ii i<l been a member of the Metho
dist Church, between fifty and sixty
years. Her doctrines and discipline he
loved, aud in her prosperity he took great
delight. He was a liberal supporter of
her institutions. He loved her ministers,
and was careful for their comfort. He
was a friend indeed, to the honest poor,
and a genera! benefactor. His disease was
protracted and painful. His suffering
waseexciueiating, but his Christian phi
losophy and fortitude, were equal to it.
The society of his neighbors, aud Chris
tian friends, was to him, a source of great
comfort to the last. As death approached,
his physician asked him if he was aware
of his condition ; when, fixing his eyes
upon the doctor, he said, “lam notafraid
to die,” and so he passed away. The
large concourse of persons, both white aud
colored, who attended his funeral the
next day, showed the esteem iu which he
was held by those who knew him.
J Lewis.
Alexander Crawford, died io Up
sou co., Ga., July 21st, 1869, in the 57th
year of his age, after having suffered very
greatly for two years from cancer.
In early life be professed religion and
joined the M. E. Church. But neglect
ing to have his membership transferred
he lived many years out of the church.
During his long affliction, he gave him
self to God and the church, and expressed
agaiu the love of God shed abroad in his
heart, aud died in hope of an inheritance
above. S.
Mrs. Martha Myrick, was born in
Jones co., Ga., Mav 21st, 1818, professed
religion in Nov. 1833, and joined the M.
E. Church, and lived an acceptable mem
ber in Crawford co., until her death.
Left a widow in 1857 with a large fami
ly ou her hands, and a feeble constitu
tion, her health declined, aud on the
morning of her death, feeling quite un
well, she called her son to her bed-side
and informed him of the fact, and before
he couid call any of her neighbors her
spirit took its flight. Thus without an
hour’s warning she was called from time
to eternity. S.
Tribute of Respect
PASSED BI MUDDY CHEEK S. SCHOOL.
Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom,
has removed our beloved brother, Fran
cis G. Hughes, from among U3, it is our
duty to express our appreciation of his
Christian character and' the loss we have
sustained. Always an obedient son, lov
ing brother, and warm hearted friend, he
won the affections of all who knew him.
Just twenty-one, he stood on life’s thresh
old, viewed its passing scenes for a short
time, and theu quietly stepped over into
the “promised laud.”
In the early morn of manhood he has
been called away, his seat is vacant now,
we shall see him no more here, but it
thrills our hearts with joy, when we
think that we may all rejoin him on high.

FORFEITABLE after two lull payments. They give
a loan of 00 per cent, on all premiums amounting to
over Fifty iioilars. It is a Southern Company, and eve
ry Southern man is interested in keep ng the ac
cumulations of Life Companies at homo. In Fire In
surance the premiums are mostly returned to meet
losses ; but in Life Insurance they are accumulated to
meet the deaths at old age, and only returned after
many years.
The money retained here will bring better interest,
and thus swell the profits of a company, and
benefit the insured in many other ways.
Every Southern man Will be sure to assent to this,
and favor a Southern Company if it Is safe. We offer
him precisely the same security as the Northern Mu
tual Companies, the accumulated premiums of the in
sured, paid by the young, to meet the amounts insured
when they grow old and die, and in addition thereto,
capital commencing with
$500,000.
Surely this makes it safe, and if so, let every man in

CHRONIC DISEASE,
with safe and generally efficacious Remedies. Such af>

and Nervous Fits, II morrhoids or Piles, Scrofula
Dropsy. Functional Diseases of the Heart, Spinal and
Kidney Affections, Dysentery, Diarrhoea, etc., etc.
FEMALE DISEASES SPECIALLY TREATED!
He \b also prepared to treat. Consumption, Asthma
Chronic Laryngitis and Bronchitis, Hemorrhage from
Lungs, Loss or Voice, etc., etc , in addition to Consti
tutional Treatment, with Inhalation of medicated va
por, of Nebulized fluids, the most practical, and per
haps the most common sense treatment known to the
medical world. In this way, the remedy needed can
be conveyed directly to the Lungs. The testimony ol
ma y eminent Medical men, both in Europe and
America, ia that many cases of these diseases may be
cu r ed by this Treatment.
Dr. W. ih alto prepared to treat Coryza, Ozena, or
CatArrh, in the head, and ali affections of the Nai-al
Passages, Nares and Frontal Sinuses—the effect of
cold .n the head. Scrofula, Mercury, or whatever cause
—with anew instrument, a Nasal Douche, which is
Bimple,and very effectual. This, in connection with
constitutional treatment, where needed, many of the
worst cases of Na=al diseases may be cured
He is laboring to cure obstinate cases of Disease ot
lont: standing, aud has succeeded in many apparently
hopeless cases.
He has made this practice in a large degree, for
many years a specialty.
He would not attempt, in the slightest degree, to re
flect upon the Medical Profession, of which he is a
humble member—or depreciate the skill and ability
of any Physician.
He doubts not that many may be found, who possess
greater capacity and tmaical at ility in Feme respects
than himself, but in this particular branch of Medical
Practice he professes to be able to do more in curing
such cases than the most of his medical Brethren, for
the reasons given above, and evidence produced from

* Co ’ 161 William Street,
New V oik—(,enls: Y ours, of the 2id, is before me
aud has attention. It gives me pleasure to say,
‘hat my belief is, that your "Fluid,” under the
supervision qi a kind Providence, saved Ihe life of
my youngest child, some six years ago. The child
being wasted lo a skeleton, by the effects of teeth
lng. aud an - tie tton ol the bowels therewith. /
lutdnevet■ seen any one reduced so low to recover
"Physic" had been tried In vain, until the Phy
sleians stated it was useless. A friend recom
mended your • Fluid,” or oxone, which he slated
was one of the component, parlsollt. I did so
and the effect was like magic, plainly discern aide
in one hoar, 111 its good em-cts, producing quiet
and Bleep almost hi once, where Irritation and
sleepless restlessness had previously possessed
the child lo nearly entire exhaustion.
X at first administered it In a small way, 2 and
8 drops in a spoonful of water, and Increased it to
6 and 10 drops. It completely checked the bowels,
end had the happiest effect, the child rapidly re
covering.
I have tried your "Fluid,” on animals, with
the same effect; both horses and cows, mingling
more or less in water, and letting them drink.
I have no liesilailon in saying, I believe It a
specific for Chronic Diarrhea, or any violent af
fection ol the i owels.
I would not be without it in my family, under
any consideration.
Yours, truly, WILLIAM FOWLER.

In Its most maliiguant foirn, ami as soon as I
could 1 procured your valuable disinfectant,
"Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid.” Although It was
several days alter the appearance ol the disease

of 11, the uiscasc was not only con lined to the

what mitigated.
During the m-e of the Fluid as a disinfectant,
in my lamily it was also tried In acaseol' head
ache, aud one of toothache, the results In each
(use being inktamaueous relief, it was after
wards tried iu the case of Erysipelas, with almost
equal success.
It Is due lo ihe merits of this compound, also,

AYER 5 A « IJE CURE
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
INTERMITTENT FEVER, OR FE
VER AND AGUE, REMITTENT FEVER,
CHILI. FEVER, DUMB AGUE, PERIODICAL
HEADACHE, OR BILLIOUS HE 4 DACHE AND
BILIOUS FEVERS, indeed for the whole class of
ilseases originating In blllury derangement,
caused by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called lor by the ne
cessities of tiie American people than a sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such we aie now
enabled to offer, with a perfect certainty that It
will eradicate the disease, and with assurance,
founded i.n proof, that no harm can arise from
its use lu any quantity.
That which protects Irom or prevenls this dis
order must he of immense service in the com •
nullities where its prevails. Ih-evmlion Is belter
man cure, for I lie patient escapes the risk which
he must run in violent attacks o( this baleful
distemper. This “Cure” e tpels Ihe miasmatic
poison of Fever and Ague trorn the system and
prevents tlie development of tlio disease, If taken
on tlie first approach of its premonitory symp
tems It is uot only the liert remedy ever yet
discoveieil for this class of complaints, but also
ihe cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings It within tlie reach of every body;
and In bilious districts, where Kfver and Ague
prevails, every body should have it and use It
Ireely both for cure and protection. It Is hoped
!,h‘s price will place it within the reach of all—
the poor as well as the rich. A great superiority
> I this remedy over any other ever discovered
,or the speedy >nd certain cure of Intermit tents
is, that i t eontft’us no <J,uinlne or ininerHl, conse
quently it produces no quinism or other injuri
ous effects whatever upou the constitution,
those cured by ltsre lett as healthy as 11 they
had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
ol the miasmatic p Isun. A great variety of dis
orders arise from its Irritation, among which aro
.Veuralc la, Rheumatism, Goul, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache. Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Affection ofthe (Spleen, Hys
terics, Pain lu the Bowels, Colic. Paralysis, and
Derangement of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermit
tent type, or become periodical. This “Cure”
expels the poison from the blood, and conse
quentlv cures them all alike Ills an Invaluable
nrolectlon to Immigrants and persons traveling
or temporarily residing In the malarious dis
tricts. If taken occasionally or dally wh lo ex
posed to the infection, that will be excreted from
the system, and cannot accumulate in sufficient
quantPy to ripen Into disease. Hence it Is even
more valuable lor protection than cure, and few
will ever suffer from Imermlttents, If they avail
<li'-mselves of the protection this remedy affords.
