THE BEAUTIFUL LAND.
By THOMAS MAcKELLAR.

There is land immortal,
The beautiful of lands
Beside the ancient portal
A sentry grimly stands.
He only can undo ii,
And open wide the door;
And mortals who pass through il,
Are mortals never more. 7
That glorious land is Heaven,
And Death the sentry grim;
The Lord therefore has given
The open keys to him.
And ransomed spirits signing
And sorrowful for Gin,
Do pass the gate in dying,
And freely enter in.
Though dark and drear the passage,
That leade,h TO the gate, ,g
Yet grace comes with the message,
To souls that watch and wait;
And at the time appointed,
A messenger comes down,
And leads the Lords annointed
From the Cross 10 glory's crown.
Their sighs are lost in singing,
They're blessed in their tears;
Their journey heavenward winging.
They leave to earth their fears.
Death like an angel seemeth--
"We welcome thee" they cry
Their face with glory beameth--
'Tis life for them to die.

ARE the cheapest and mostapproyed Fami-
ly Medicine ever offered to tie public
They are extremely mild in their opera
ton, neither causing sickness; of the sto-
mach, nor any unpleasant sensation in the
system, as is too frequently The case with
medicines given 10 act uponth bowels:
hence mullitudes, who have been unable
to take other pills or preparations Of me-
.dicine, on account of their nauseating ell
fects, use these pills without the slightest
disagreeable feelings
By their manifest and sensible action
upon the chyle, which is the fountain head
of health or disease, they may Justly be
considered Universal Medicine, and the
complaints that come most directly under
their influence, and for which the9arc so
particularly designed are as folbws:-
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspep-
STA, Liver Complaint, Sick Headache, En-
largement of the Spleen. Jaundice Asth-
ma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Piles, ChoIic,
Bowel and Summer Complaints, Female
DISTINCTIONS, Heartburn, Nausea, Furred
Tongue, Distension of the Stomach and
Bowels, lnciPient DIarrhHa, Fiatnlence,
Habitual CosIiveness, Loss of Appetite,
Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in all
cases of Torpor of the Bowels, where a
cathartlc or aperient medicine is needed
As many of the above enumerated dis
eases come on imperceptibly, and become
far advanced in their progress before it
is suspected that they exist in the system,
no one Should expect, in such cases, to be
at once relieved entirely, but should conf
nue. the use of the pills for considerable
length of time. Full directions accom-
pany each box, for the use Of the pills,
in all these complaints for which they are
recommended.

AS A REMEDY FOR HORSES.

RIcHMOhD, August 9TH, 1889.
Mr.. WILLIAM W. GRAY-Sir: Having seen
much important testimony published in support
OF the efficacy OF your valuable Ointment,
beg leave to say, that, from an experiment made,
find it an excellent remedy, not only for the
relief of suffering humanity, but for the aflic-
tions of that noble animal, the horse. About
the last of May, from bad treatment, the back
of one Of my horses became so much bruized,
swollen, and CALLED, to be unfit for use. 1t
appeared to me that your Ointment might
prove beneficial in such case, consequently |
purchased pot, which on trial had the desired
effect having made a cure in the course of a
week. Astonished at the rapidity of the cure,
have frequently taken occasion to speak of the
efficacy of your ointment. | have no doubt II
will prove valuable remedy in all cases of the
kind, and feela hesitation in recommending it
accordingly. WIN. STITH.

Cotton, the seed Of which he is offering
for sale, | feel no hesitancy in believing It
the best quality of cotton have ever seen.
| live neighbor to Mr.. T. and have paid
particular attention to the growing of his
crop. 1t bolls more heavily than any cot
ion ever saw; the leaf is smaller; the
shape of the stalk is of the sugar loaf
and although Mr.. F. gave his cotton deep
blowing in August, which was Immediate
ly followed by severe and protracted
drought, yet it did not shed the squares
but very little, whilst other cotton Of the
common Mexican seed in the neighbor
hood was dropping its squares very much.
And another peculiarly of it is, that in
our creek bottom lands of the common
Mexican cotton, the joints are larger than
on uplands--but Of this cotton, the richer
the land the shorter the joints and thicker
the bolls. S. T. LANE.
