borne down the stream, it had struck
against another prodigious mass of rock,
which had arrested its progress.
After very fatguing march, we reach
ed the foot of the slide about o'clock,
and began the ascent. The slide had
commenced near the summit of the noun
tain, and for space of 500 feet in width
had carried down the entire mass of trees,
rocks, and earth into the valley below, l
know not how far, as we commenced our as
cent not at the foot ofthe mass thus car
ried down, but at the foot of the groove
which it had left, and the point where the
upper end of the strip borne down rested
on thelower end the groove. This groove
thus left by the enormous mass of earth
sliding down the mountain, few feet IN
depth, and 800 feet in width, presents
gravelly surface, tolefably smooth, and af-
fords the only known access to the summit
Of the mountain. Up this we passed, the
angle Of elevation not being inconvenient-
ly steep, to the last cluster Of trees large
enough to afford US fuel for The night, In
tending TO finish the ascent the next day.
Coon. Capt. Scott, of the U. S. Army
arrived in this city few days since on his
way to Florida. The captain is one oftne
best shots in the world, in fact the very
best, and is the same gentleman spoken of
by Ma,ryatt in his Diary, as having been
recognized by an old coon while hunting
in the Car West" AS the story runs,
the Captain freed the coon, and while in
the act of aiming, the varmint sung out:

Without endorsing the truth Of this sto-

meritorious officer, and one who from his
long experience, will render much assist

HARRISON NEWSPAPER. We learn that
arrangements are on foot for the establish
ment in 3 altimore of new morning pa
per, to be devoted to the support of Gen.
eral Harrison.
The very error of the moon. The idea
of commencing new papers for the sup
port of particular interests, is the height of
folly. Those who support such papers are
convinced already. Those who are OPP
posed to such candidate, or such particu-
lar interest, will not of course subscribe
for the new paper. Hence, the establish-
ment of such papers is but throwing money
away. Better by far bestow it in sustain
ing sound and healthy papers already in
existence. [N. Y. Com Adv.

FEMALE FAITH.


She loved you when the sunny light
OF bliss was on your brow;
That bliss has sunk in sorrows night;
And yet-she loves you now.
She loved you when your joyous tone
Taught every heart to ihrll;
The sweetness of that tongue is gone,
Aud yel-she loves you still.
She loved you when You proudly slept,
The gayest of The gay;
The pride the blight of time has swept,
Unlike her love away.
She loved you when your home and heari
CT fortunes smile could boast;
She saw that salle decay-depart-
Aud then she loved you most.
Oh, such the generous faith that grows
la woman's gentle breast;
'Tls like that star that stays and grows
Alone 10 hishIs dark vest;
That stays because each other ray
Has lett the lonely shsre,
Aud that the wander.r on his way
Then wants her light the more.

Oh they looked upward in every place
Through this beautiful world Of ours,
And dear as a smile on an old friends face
Is the smile Of the bright, bright flowers,
They tell us ofwand rings ~ woods aud streams
They tell MS of lanes aud trees;
But the children OF showers aud sunny beams
Have loycller tales than these
The bright, bright flowers!
/ They tell of season when mco were not,
/ When earth was by angels trod,
And leaves and flowers in every spot
! Burst forth at the call of God.
When spirits. singing their hymns al even,
Wandered by wood aud glade.
And the Lord look'd down from the highest
heaven,
And bessd what he had made
The bright, bright flowers!
That blessing remaneth upon them still,
Though often The storm lowers,
And frequent tenpests may soil and chill
The gayest Of ear,b's flowers.
When Sin and Death, with their sister Grief
Made home in the hearts Of men.
The blessings Of God on each tender leaf
Preserved in their beauty then
The bright, bright flowers
The lily is lovely as when it slept
On the waters Of Eden's lake;
The woodbne brealhes swecIly as when it crcpt
In Eden from brake To brake.

LEGEND.
ny WILLIAM c. BRYANT.
Upon rock that high and sheer
Rose from the moua,ain's breast,
4 weary hunter Of the deer
Had set him down TO rest.
And barred TO the summer air
Ills red hot brow and sweaty hair.
All dim in haze the mountain lay,
With DINNER wales between,
And rivers gIimmered on their way
BY fores, family seen.
While ever rose n murmuring sound
From brooks below and bees around.
lie listened till he seemed TO hear
voice so soft and low,
That whether in the mind or ear,
The listener scarce mig lat know.
With such tone, so sweet aud mild,
The watching mother luls her child.
Thou weary hun'sman,' thus it said,
Thou faint with toll and hea,
The pleasant land of rest is spread,
Beneath thy very feet!
And those whom thou woulj'st gladly see
Are waiting there to welcome thee
lie looked, aud 't~isr the earth and sky,
Amidst the noontide haze,
A shadowy region met his eve,
And grew beneath his gaze;
As II the sapors oi the air.
Had gathered into shapes SO fait
Groves ireshened as he looked, and flowers
Showed bright on rocky bank,
And fountains swelled beneath the bowers
Where deer and pheasan, drank.
He saw the gli,ering streams; he heard
The rustlins bough, and twittcring bird.
And friends dead--in oyhood dear,
There lived aud walked again
And there was one. who many year
Within her grave had lain,
\ fair young girl, the regions pride
h'' bear, was breaking when she died
Bounding, as was her wont, she came
Right towards his resting place.
And stretched her hand, apd called his
name,
With s~ce, and smiling face.
Forward, with fixed and eaeereyes.
The hnuter leaned in act to rise.
Forward he leaned, and hcadlong down
Plugged from the eragcy wall

TNHESE PILLS are no longer among those of
IL doubtful utility. They have passed away from
the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide
of experiment, and now stand before the public as
high in reputation, and as extensively employed in
all parts Of the United States, the Canadas, Texas,
Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering
man. They have been introduced wherever il was
found possible to carry them and there are but few
towns that do not contain some remarkable eviden-
ces Of their good effects. The certificates thar have
been presented TO the proprietor exceed twenty
thousand! upwards of FIVE hundred Of which are
from regular practising physicians, who are the
most competent Judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicine
been the subject of editorial comment, in various
newspapers and journals and it may with truth be
asserted, that no medicine Of The kind has over re
ceived testimonials Of greater value than are at
tachcd to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine,
and there are thousands Of families who declare
that they are nayer satisfied unless they have a sup
ply always on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing Bi
lious Fevers, Fever aud Ague, Dyspepsia, Asthma.
Liver Complaint, Sick Headache. Jaundice, Drop
~, Rheumatism, Enlargement ofthe Spleen, Piles,
Cholic, Female Distractions, Heartburn, Furred
Tongue, Nausea, Distension Of the Stomach aud
Bowels, I~ncipient Diarrhma, Flatulence, Hsbitual
Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blo,ehed or Sallow
Complexion, and in all cases of Torpor oftho Bow
els, where a csthartic or aperient is needed. They
are exceedingly mild in their operation, producing
neither nausea, gripping, nor debility.

DEAR SIR:-l very cheerfulIy add nv testimony
with regard TO the efficacy Of Dir. Peters medicines
MY wife had been for several years suffering anG
lingering under the effects Of dyspepsia, with it's
usual accompaniment, when, in December, 1895,
] purchased OF you one box-frcm the use of which.
her health was so far restored, that she deemed the
iurther use OF 1t at that time unnecessary. On a
return OF some symptoms Of the disease during the
summer OF 1887, she resolted 10 the same rr,nedv
and continued it until she had taken the contents
OF three boxes. Since that time she has been we'll.
and can, without Inconvenience, eat any thing thar
she fancies.
From this case, and from The benefit TO nv own
health, derived from the use Of a single box | am
prepared TO believe, that this medicine is justly en-.
titled to all the credit claimed for ii BY it's warmest
adyocates. Yours, very respectfully,
