of the ocean The proofs of this, are quite numer-
Gus and conclusive. 1t is lime country and lime
is product of the ocean. The immense masses
of stone around the falls of St. Anthony are CON-
posed of sea shells. This country has been thrown
up from the bottom of the ocean by series of up
heavals, the last of which was the Rocky Noun
tans, dividing this great ocean into the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans Il f1 e.ylsa sse
Here are to be series of States of immense ex-
tent, and more fertile than any other part of the
country 1t is the best part of the country for a
man to settle in. He can go there and select a
farm and not be called upon to pay cent for 1t for
perhaps two or three generations, and when the
land is eventually brought into market, he can be
sure to have it at the minimum price of 81 25 per
acre. man who should overbid a squatter
could not safely remain in the country.
The American Fur company commands univer-
sal respect among the Indians. They are punctu-
al in fulfilling all their engagements. and they nev-
er sell any liquor. The Indians have no fear Of
the United States Government. They think the
Great Father at Washington is a man Of huge pro-
portions, but they have no definite conception of
power But tell them that if they behave i'll they
will get ball, or if they behave we'll blanket,
and they know what is meant. In the boats of
ahe Fur Company one can travel with perfect
safety.
Except in the hunting season the Indians lounge
about their wigwams and keep drunk when they
can get whiskey, and gorge themselves with food
when they can get that. When the hunting sea-
son arrives, they purchase blankets and traps OF
the Fur company and start on their expedition.
The squaws do all the labor, dress the skins, &c
This gives rise to strange kind OF polygamy.-
An Indian wants three or four squaws TO do his
work, and looks round for the strongest he car
/ find. He lays trap at the door of her fathers
wigwam in the night; In the morning the old In
dian sees the trap and knows that some one wishes
10 purchase his daughter Ifhe does not choose tc
accept the offer he does not touch the trap The
next night another trap is left at the door, and SC
on til. sufficient number is offered, when they
are taken in, and the owner comes forward and
claims his squaw.
! They leave their dead upon some lofty ridges
and let the flesh waste away, and then collect ane
bury their bones. An Indian woman who has
been most shamefully abused by her husband dur
ing his life, will 60 every day and lament mos
bitterly over his dead body, and will finally col
lect his bones and carry them about with her, ant
when it becomes impossible to preserve them an,
longer, will bury them with the utmost care IN th'
bottom of her wigmam. If any body has reason
to be thankful for christianity; it is woman; TO
without it, even among our own race, her condl
ton is little better than among the Indians.

Think gently Of the erring!
Oh! do not thou forget,
However darkly stained by sin,
He is thy brother vet
Heir Of the self-same heritage!
Child of the self-same God,
He hath but stumbled in the path,
Thou hast in weakness trod
Speak kindly to the erring!
For is it not enough
That innocence and peace are gone,
Without the censure roughl
1t sure must be a weary lot U
That sin crushed heart to bear, gs
And they who share happier fate, -ac
Their chidlngs well may spare.
Speak kindly to the erring. aEU
Thou yet mayst lead them back,
With holy words, and tones of love. ysas

Forget not thou hast often sinned,
And sinful yet must be, @

" Relisi0R's All"

The mind of man is like the f1ctuating sea. 1t
never is at rest. There is a perpetual tendency,
which cannot be curbed by perpetual disappoint-
ment, to send out the desires after some object
beyond our present reach Bat we are never sat-
sfed from the attainment OF our present desires
The law of the natural world, BY which objects di
mnish according TO their distance from US is re-
versed in the moral. The object of oar wishes
nagnifed in proportion to the distance at which
we view them. As we approach near, the charm
is broken, the illusion yanshes They prove TO
be but bubbles which as soon as touched, dissolve
in airy vapor. Still we do not rest. At every
fresh disappointment, we put forth new desires
and new efforts, for the attainment of some object
vet more remote. Even success, the most IN
bounded, does not satisfy US We weep for more
worlds to conquer.
Amid this tumult of the mind, this everlasting
restlessness of the SOUL religion, benign yisiter,
heavenly monitor, descends to man. She comes
in radiant and allurng form, and addresses him in
accents of winning tenderness. Receive me,
and will say to the swelling surge of passion,
Peace, be STILL" will quel the fever Of disap-
pointrnen, by leading you to fountains Of living

Worms Kill Thousands.

CHILDREN are most subject to them, but per-
sons of all ages are liable to be afflicted with
them. Bad breath, paleness about the lips, flush
ed cheeks, picking at the nose, wasting away,
eanness, pain in the bowels, joints or limbs, dis
turbed sleep, frighlfu Dreams moaning and some
times vofacious appetite, are among the symp-
toms OF worms Many are doctored for months
for some other imaginary disease, when one box
of Sherman's Worm Lozenges would effect a cure
DR.. Ryan, corner of Prince street and the Bowery
cured man of worms that was reduced to skel-
eton. and by only one box of Shermans Lozenges:
he is now as fat as an alderman. The Hon B.
b. Beardsley has saved the life of one of his chill
dren by them. The sale of over 2 000, 900 of boxes
has fully tested them. They are the only infalli-
Bile worm destroying medicine known. What
family will be without them1
Consumption, Coughs, Colds Whooping Coughs,
Asthma, and all affections of the lungs, will find
a healing value in Sherman's Cough Lozenges.-
They saved the Rev. Richard De Forrest, the
Rev. Mr. Streeter, Jonathan Howarth, Esq. and
that worthy old hero, Leonard Rogers, from the
consumptive's grave. They cured in one day, the
Rev. Mr. Dunbar, the Rev. MIR. Handbook, Wm
III. Attree, Esq, of distressing coughs. They are
the pleasantest cough h medicine and cure the SOON
est of any known remedy.
Headache, Sea-sickness and Palpitation, re-
lieved in from five to ten minutes by Sherman's s
CamPhor Lozenges Persons attending crowded
ancy of spirits and renew their energies Those
suffering from too free living will find few of the
lozenges to dispel the horrors and lowness of
spirits. MIR. krauth, of the Sunday Mercury, has
repeatedly cured himself OF severe headache by
them. Captain Chadwick. of the packet ship
Wellington, has witnessed their efficacy in great
many cases of sea-sickness. They operate like a
charm upon the agitated or shattered nerves. as
Shermans Poor Mans Plaster does upon rheu-
in fbp old
back, breast or any part Of the body. Mr.. II. G..
Daggers, 80 Ann street. Henry r. Goulding, 35
Chatham street. Moses j. Henriques. Esq, and d
multitude of others have experienced the wonder
ful effects of these Pasters. Price only IL l-2
cents. Caution is necessary to see that you get
the genuine Sherman's Lozenges and Plasters as
there many worthless articles attempted to be
palmed off in place of them, by those who would
triie with your life for shilling.
A fresh supply of these valuable medicines just
received and for sale at the Republican office.

have been doctored for some imaginary complaint

worms alone, which are entirely overlooked, and
when the proper treatment would have saved their
lives, and restored them to health. Every obser-

NIGHT SWEATS AND PAININ THE SIDE.
Jonathan Haworth, Esq. the well known Tenn
perance Lecturer. attacked with cold from
sleeping in damp sheets, in the winter of lS4l. He
neglected it at first but soon found it assuming
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resorted to
the various remedies usually recommended for lung
complaints. When one thing failed he tried an
other, until ne had exhausted his patience and the
whole catalogue of remedies. His cough was al
most incessant, that he could Get little or no

his end was nigh--that in that place he must soon

who visited him advised trial of DR. Shefman's s

box. and the first dose gave him more relief than
all the other medicines he used before. By the
time he had taken one small box he was able to
start for the city Of New York. and in three weeks
time he was perfectly restored to his usual health.
He often announces the fact to his hearers, when

From the Cincinnati Daily Times, of Jan. 4h 1874:
Coushs-The variableness of the weather this
winter has caused unusual number of persons
to be afflicted by colds and coughs--scarcely a
family has escaped; and with many, carelessness
in attending to cough, has laid the foundation for
consumption. Our family has not escaped the
general affliction, but owing to remedy, used
for the first time, they were speedily cured. Shsr-
mans Cough Lozenges, which we were induced
to try proved what they represented to be. and
affected cure in few days of troublesome
cough, which appeared so deeply seated tha,
seemed doubtful if it could be removed at ALL
