THE CHARMS OF THE SABBATH DAY.-What
subject is better calculated for contemplation on
this day than the brevity of life, and the uncer-
tainty of every earthly enjoyment! We hold
our lives on precarous tenure, and are liable
to instant removal by Him in whom we live,
move, and have our being" This hour dearest
connexions and most valuable friends appear in
the pride and loveliness of youth, the next ruff
fed in CHASTITY shroud, the unenvied equpage
of death !! Happy the man who can on this day
retire within himself, and review those years
which are gone forever with pleasurable satisfac-
ton This is luxury which only those who de-
light in relieving the distressed--pourin wine
and oil in the wounded sprit---eoothing, by kind
Offices, the pillow Of wretchedness and disease,
can ever truly feel and look with exnlting conf
dence ito another and better corld." For that
Being who is lemphatically styled the "God Of
Love-" who delights in acts Of benefcence and
mercy, will ever reward the individual who con.
siders every child of misfortune his brother, and
who can weep, feelingly weep, over the mIsfor-
tunes of his fellow man, and endeavor, by acts OF
henevolence and charity, to ameliorate The mis-
fortunes incident TO humanity, and wipe away
every tear from the eye Of misery.

DYSPEPSIA CURED.

/ BENNINGTON, VT Dec. 9Th, 1913.
\ Dear Sir 81 wish to add my testimony to the host
of others that you have in favor of your valuable pills.
I'm the year 1888, was attacked with that disagree
able complaint the Dyspepsia, which so affected me
that could not take particle of food without the
most unpleasant and uncomfortable sensations in my
chest, head and bowels My chest was SO sore that
could not bear the slightest pressure without giving
me pain. My health was most miserable; many
physicians told they thought was in the consump-
ton, and that if Ibid not giyeup my business, and
change climate, could live but short time.
\ tried every thing in the shape Of medicine, and
consulted the most skilful physicians, but found no
permanent relief became discouraged, gloomy,
sad, and sick Of life and probably, ere this should
have been in my grave, had not fell in with your
precious medicine. friend Of mine, who had been
sick of the same complaint advised me to try your
pills; but having tried most other medicines without
obtaining any relief had but little faith that pills
would be Of benefit to me but, at his earnest solic
tation, l procured box and commenced taking
them. 3s! eti etsf II 4ss--#2 s-a
The!first box producedttle or no effect, and be-
gan to despond, for fear that your medicine would
prove like others have taken but my friends argued
that one was not fair trial, and purchased Sec
ond, and before had taken the whole box began TO
experience change the pain in my chest began to be
less painful and my food did not distress me SO much
as formerly. Invent on taking them until had taken
six boxes, and my Dyspepsia was CONE and my ex-
recitation Of an early death vanished, and felt like
a snew creature | was then, and am now a
healthy man. have never since been troubled with
the Dyspepsia. have administered your pills to the
members ofmy family, and to my friends, and in all
cases with good success. You publish this If it
will be of any use you. am dear sir truly yours,

While Gen. Jackson was operating in the Creek
country, some twenty odd years ago, he inva-

be made near the main body to prevent surprise
and alarm; but he had one officer, Capt. G.,
who although brave man, was rather lawless,
ana disposed to prowl and sbpsh-whack about
on his own hook and account When the main
camp fires were lit at night, his would frequently
be seen off on some Hill by itself, a mile perhaps,
from the others, and in . very exposed situation.
Gen. Jackson finally got as tired of giving his
orders in relation to encampment as Capt. G.
was Of receiving them, and seeing his fire one
night on a.dstant hill the commander sent an
aid to arrest the brave but eccentric officer. g.
