The great popularity of SARsApARiLLA, and i.s
established efficacy, render it superhuous to enter
into any enconiuln of Its virtues. or adduce any
evidence in its favor. II is true, that il has been
heretofore subject to frequent changes of reputa.
tlon owing to ignorance of the proper mode of ex-
tracing IT'S virtues, or to the spuTiousuess or infe-
rior quality of the root manufactured Hence also
the lneticacy OF many preparations of it offered to
the public. The propretors of this Extract assert
with confidence, that it is prepared from the bes
materials, with the greatest pharmaceutical care
and accuracy, and in the best mode to obtain the
active principle in the most concentrated state,
answering the desideratum of exhibiting large
quantity of Sarsaparilla in small dose It is also
combined with auxliaries' of known efficacy,

ability. He concluded his remarks by an
appeal to the fair sex to contribute their eff
forts to advance the good cause, and to stop
the ravages of intcmperance, from which
they were so great sufferers. Their infu-
ence was great, md he related a number of
occurrences to show where it had been most
disastcrous, and, on the contrary most benc-
fetal. He alluded to a case in Washington
city, where n young man by the name of
Washington, a collateral relative of the Sa-
vior of our country, had been brought down
from his exalted position to that of a common
drunkard. He was taken from the gutter to
the alms-house. There he was found by the
WashingtOnians, and through their influence

Having in our last essay, glanced at the
resources of the country, it becomes now ex-
pedient to discuss the means by which these
resources may be made productive. We
have broad and fertile lands, and the where
withal to plant them. But is there sufficient
labor ! AT the present time %, 900 males of
a suitable age for field labor, independent of
those who earn their livelihood by other
ways, would be a moderate computation
VI this set aside 5000 required to raise food
tor themselves and 10000 laborcrs would re-
main. Allowing 25 laborers as an average
to each farm or plantation, they would cult
vate 800 plantations, and allowing but $1,000
net income to each, the aggregate would be
S8OO,OOO; this for clear profit. The wages
100000 men at l2l cents per diem for 300
days would be $3.50, 900. There wives and
families would incidently earn at least half
the above amount, 1926, 900 a total of S2,
200 200 to be derived from agricultural la
Dor alone with the present resources Of pop
ulation. This 1885, 900 would be spent
mainly in foreign goods, thus creating an
lmpost of a similar amount which would
yield to government at the 8 per ct. duty
advalorem, say 81 800, 900 a revenue of
$4,000. But to accomplish this much, it is
necessary that important changes be effect
ed in the tenure of lands, and we are at lib
erty to assure our readers, that the whole
system will be remodelled and placed upon
a basis at once equitable and liberal. This
OF itself will give a stimulus to the domestic
industry ofthc kingdom. such as it has nev-

The New lsLAND.-Upon further inquiry
we learn that it is the opinion of the nauti-
cal gentlemen in port, h,at the island upon
which the Holder Borden is wrecked, is not
laid down on the charts Of the day. In that
case Capt Pell will be entitled to christen it.
Its position and extent should be determined
beyond a doubt, as it is a dangerous spot,
and in a part ofthe ocean much trequented.
1T it is nameless, we think no better %appella-
ton could be bestowed upon it than Pell's
Island, in remembrance of the successful
exertions of the enterprising master of the
Holder Borden in preserving the cargo, and
in escaping from his ocean prison.

selected for particular Offices and avocations
on the grounds of their fitness therefor. and
who devote what time and talents they pos
sess to their duties, should not be the best
able to form correct determinations in re-
gard to their respective callings. Not that
such are immaculate in character or iudg-

that one or many who arrive at conclusions

whose knowledge is but partial and whose
reflection is scattered through a thousand
shallow channels. 1t is no easy task to ac-
quire habits of severe and steady application,
concentration of thought, and logical deduc-
ton, mingled with a general acquaintance
with men and literature. But if. as it would
appear to be, there are among us minds of
such lntuitlve perception and natural vigor
as to clearly see the right, detect an error,
comprehend an argument, without any pre-
paratory study or reflection, it behoovcs
them to complete their work, and not alone
to expose mis-udgments, crying aloud and
not, but to draw upon their stores
of wisdom, proclaim the remedy. and sug-
gest the cure. He who can devise a good
system of family government is a bcnefactor,
and he who suggests Il sage polity merits the
applause of mankind.

however, we were scarcely aware

merous part of our experience is to bear

are pressed upon us. One requires the inser-

of any other preparation Of Sarsapara that made.
1t is warranted to be stronger than six bottles of
most Others stronger than four of some and stronger
than three of the strongest prepared by any other in
the United States.
Dr. Leidy's Sarsaparilla is recommended by all
respectable physicians in preference to any other.
All who have ever used it have derived more benefit
from one bottle than three to ten of others and
those who, after having used other preparations with
out benefit, will use DR.. Leidys, will soon be con-

The apparatus with which DR.. Leidy's extracts,

the only enc in the United States, imported by Dr.
Leidy himself, from the celebrated house of Peeter
s. Caventou in Paris, at great expense, and is ca
pable of extracting the medicinal virtues Of Sarsa-
para and other roots more effectually than by any
other process.
AS several hundred certificates Of remarkable
cures, and recommendations from clergymen and
physicians have been from time to time published in
