DUTY.-I repeatit in my own words-"Duty is
the salt of life" The sense of duty is as neces-
sary stimulant to the health and enjoyment of
our spiritual being, as salt is to give flavor to the
daily food of man. Without it the world soon
becomes utterly uninteresting and taseless-ob-
jects there are none to arouse-purpose there is
none to attain. The being derived Of the means
of happiness, or condemned to the endurance of
pain, suffers, and suffers much-but hope fingers
at the bottom of the cup. Life retains its en-
chantments-the Hesperian gardens still glow in
the west-could they be attained, we might yet be
happy. But woe to that wretched one, who, like
the gorgeous Eastern King, sated with wisdom,
magnifcence and pleasure, has tasted of every
thing that the world can give, and arrived at the
dire conclusion that all is vanity.

CRUELTY TO DUMB ANIMALS.

Cruelty to dumb animals is one of the distin-
gushing vices of the lowest and basestof the peo-
pie. Wherever it is found it is certain mark Of
ignorance andmeanness; anintrnsic mark, which
all the external advantages of wealth, splendor
and nobility cannot obliterate. 1t will consist
neither with true learning nor true civilization;
and religion disclaims and detess it as an insult
upon the majesty and goodness of God, who ha'
wing made the instinct of brute beasts, minister to
the Improvement of the mind, as well as to the
convenience of the body, hath furnished us with
motive to mercy and compassion toward them
very strong and powerful, but too refined to have
any influence on the illiterate or irreliglous.

Proclaim it 10 the world.

That DR.. Mazoni's Sicilian Syrup, or Tropical Hy-
gene, will cure seven out of every ten cases of
sumption. Read the following statement from a ve-
ry respectable citizen Of CarrolltOn, Ohio:

wife has been for years afflicted with pain in
the breast and side accompanied with a harrassing
cough, and all of the concomtant symptoms of con-
sumption short time since while on a visit to her
friends in New Lisbon, while coughing, about three
O'Clock in the morning, she ruptured large blood
vessel of the lungs from which she lost nearly quart
of blood before medical assistance could be obtained
The bleeding for the present arrested, but she
was so much reduced that fatal issue was expected
About twelve O'Clock the bleeding returned but was
again arrested by the ordinary remedies. At o.
clock it again returned with increased violence when
all hopes of her surviving through the night had fled.
In vain were all the usual remedies resorted to again
arrest the hemorrhage, and being nearly hop eless,
there no hopes that she would see another rising
sun. As last resort, at this eventul period, DR..
Mazoni's highly celebrated Sician Syrup or Tropi-
cal Hygiene was obtained and administered And
most astonishing to relate, in the short space of five
minutes the bleeding subsded her cough gradually
abated, and by continuing the of it, there has
been no hemorrhage since She is now rapidly i'm

invaluable and unequalled remedy for this most fright

NEw ORLEANS, August I, 1876.
A transport has just arrived with the Mobile
volunteers under Gen. Desha, who have been
discharged by Gen. Taylor by orders ofihe War
Department, as have also all the Louisiana vol
untecr, SIX other companies more Of Alabama
volunteers, and the ST. Louis legion. The two
regiments from this place under Cols. Peyton
and FcatherstOn are discharged because the De-
parment do not consider them in service under
any existing law. These are the two extra re-
giments that Gen. Gaines accepted under his
own authority, over and above the requisitOn Of
Gen. TAYLOR. The other volunteers are dis
charged because they would not extend their
term Of service TO twelve months, or during the
war, when they were regularly and legally ac-
copied for six months, and had made all their
business and other arrangements for an absence
Of that period.
The Mobiians, under Desha, mustered and
entered the service and left that place in sr hours
after they had advice Of Gen. Taylor's critical
situation, and embarked from this city even
ahead Of any Of the Louisiana volunteers; and
now they are turned adrift in this way! So gen.
eral and great is the indignation that out Of all
those from Louisiana, Alabama, and Missouri
that have fallen under the operation Of this pro-
ceeding, | am informed not a single company,
not a single man will remain, under the invita-.
lion Of Gen. Taylor TO form new companies oI
such as were willing TO stay on the terms pre-.
scribed.
