POPULAR OPINION.

IF Popular Opinion is any criterion on the worth
L of an article, cannot too highly estimate the
intrinsic value of
.Nc.4LISTER'S I'LL HE.4LLNG OINTMENT.
1t is not too much to say, that this Ointment is do
ing great good in this city and elsewhere The va
rous diseases that Cured, which were supposed
to be overcome only by internal remedies, yield at
once to the power of this ointment. The principle
on which it ever acts viz: radical restoration Of
the Isensble Perpiration is the great secret of its
success. As most diseases originate in a common
cold induced by closing the pores upon the surface,
it follows that fb any means the pores can be re-
opened, and the nsensbe Perspiraton restored, the
vile and morbid humors of the body will escape, and
no cause of sickness remain.
Nc.4Lister's .fU-healing Ointment has now been
proved t. be the ONLY preparation known to eff
feet this result.
We would remark that some of the following
complaints have been oflong standing, even twenty
years-one case of forty years-many of them Of
five and ten years. Such cases the sick head
ache, for instance, complaint supposed to yield
only to internal remedies, have been cured drecty
also Rheumatism, Cold Feet, Liver Complaint, Con-
sumption, Asthma, all Diseases of the Chest, Sores,
and the like, have been cured while others who are
taking balms, balsams, little sugar-candy, pills,
and drugs, yet suffering, with little hope of re-
covery. We speak these things more in sorrow than
in anger, because we feel and know that health and
life are dear to every Persons should cease be-
ing blinded by these things so long there was no
evidence Of good. What will not man give for
his life?
Nay if we had the names of all who have been
benefited or cured by the ALL-HEALlNG ONT
MENT within the six months, we would cover over
the whole broadsde of the meeting house with their
number. But we know our friends will tell it to
their friends and they in turn will whisper it to
theirs, and thus the good thing will 60 round, while
thus more than twice ten thousand hearts will leap
for Joy in the good received from this ointment
Friends! cheer US on in this good work, by speak
ing the whole truth to vour neighbors and acquain-
lance, and let this great and good Medicine find its
way into every house, and gladden. the heart OF eve

HOW He ROsE-A TRUE SKETCH.

About forty years ago, somewhere in
the woods near the line between Ten.
nessee and Kentucky, in log cabin
sixteen feet by eighteen, which was al
ready occupied by brood of ten or
twelve children, was born a yougster,
the hero ofour sketch. In his infancy
he was fed on corn and hominy, bear
meat, and the flesh of such "wild var
minis" as was caught in the woods
At twelve years of age, he was put out
to work with neighbor as farm boy,
and drove oxen, hoed corn, raised to,
bacco in summer, cured it in winter,
till he was seventeen years old, when
he took to making brick; to which he
added the profession ola carpenter: and
by these successive steps in mechanical
arts he became able, by hi" own "nas-
sisted skill, to rear house from the clay
pit, or from the stump, and complete it
in all its parts, and to do it, too, in a
manner that none of his competitors
could surpass. His panel doors are to
this day the wonder and admiration OF
all the country in which they continue
to swing on hinges. He never saw the
inside of a school house or church until
he was eighteen years old. By the as
sistance of an old man in the neighbour
hood, he learned during the winter e.
venings, to read and write, when farm
boy. Having achieved these valuable
acquisitions by the aid of another, all
his other education has been the fruit
ofhis own application and perseverance.
At the age of twenty-five, he conceived
the idea of fitting himself for the prac-
ii: of law He at first procured an
old copy of Blackstone, and having, af:
ter the close of his daily labours, by
nightly studies over pitch knot fire in
his log cabin, mastered the contents of
that compendium of common law, he
pursued his researches into other ele-
mentary works. And having thus by
great diligence acquired the rudiments
of his profession, he met with an old
lawyer, who had quit practice or whose
practice had quit him, with whom he
made bargain for his scanty library,
for which he was to pay him $l2O in
carpenters work; and the chief part of
the job to be done in payment Of these
old musty books was dressing and lay
ing down an oak floor or floors, three
dollars per square Of ten feet. The IL
brary paid for, our hero dropped the
adze, plain and trowel, and we soon
after hear of him as one of the most
prominent members of the Mississippi
bar, and an able statesman and orator.
81 heard him one day." says one, SNAKE
two speeches in succession, of three
hours in length each, to the same audi
ence, and not a movement testified any
WEAKNESS on the part of a single audi
tor, and during their delivery the as
sembly seemed swayed by the orator as
weeds before the wind.'
That poor farm boy is at the present
at Washington, member of Congress
from Mississippi. His name is Patrick
w. Tompkius. He is self-made man,
aud his history shows what a hum.
bic boy can do, when he determines to
try Saturday Rambler.

POETRY AND MISCE LANY,
THE SABBATH.
BIT MRS. L. H. SIGOURNEY.

AAA S3ADDAA
BIT MRS. L. H. sIGoURNEY.
The world is full of toll,
1t bids the traveller roam,
1t binds the laborer to the soil,
The student to his home
The beasts Of burden sigh,
O'erloaded and opprest-
The Sabbath lifts its banner high,
And gives the weary rest.
The world is full of care,
The haggard brow is wrought
In burrows as of fixed despair,
And checked the heavenward thoughts
But with indignant grace
The Sabbath's Christening tone,
Drives money-changers from the place
Which God doth call his own.
The world is fuil of grief,
Sorrows DER sorrows roll,
And the fair hope that brings relief
Doth some times pierce the soul,
The Sabbath's peaceful bound
Bears Mercy's holy seal,
A balm of Gilead for the wound
That man is weak to heal.
The world is full of sin,
Adangerous food it rolls,
The unwary to its breast to win,
And whelm unstable souIs.
The Sabbath's beacon tells
Ofreefs and wrecks below,
And warns, tho gay the billow swells,
Beneath are death and voc.
There is a world-where none
With fruitless labor sigh,
Where cure awakes no lingering groan,
And grief no agony;
Where sin with fatal arts
Hath never forg'd her chains,
But dcep-enthron'd in angel hearts,
One endless Sabbath reigns.

The Do,rou hdrcrf,scr of the 18th has dispatch
from Wisconsin stating that IN nine Counties
mostly heard from Csss runs $50 ahead OF Taylor
but 2 200 behind the Loco Foco vote last Spring
This would make Csss's majority in the State very
small.
The same dispatch states generally that the
Members Of Congress elected are as follows
l. CHARLES DuExEE Free Soil beating VIM. Pitt
Lynde, Cas-, and A. Finch, Jr. Taylor.
H. OSsAaus COLE Wing beating q w Crsbb Free
Soil and A. II. Smith Csss

tells the truth Mr.. Cole was Clay Delegate TO
the last Wing National Convention, and resides,
# we mistake not, at Green Bay. Durkee is an
original Abolitionist-the first outsnd-out Liberty
man yet elected 10 Congress Mr.. Doty was a
vehement Wing in 1890. and was made Governor
OF Wisconsin by Gen. Harrison He has conform

THE Kings Prierds.'

In a recent review Of certain Memoirs oil the
time Of George II. I'VE have vsinly looked through
..versl volume. Of the Edinburgh 70 find and quote
the psssagel there is graphic and instructive
.cconn, n clique or faction which arose In the
ou,set of tina, monarchs reign, who gloned IN the
distinguishing appeation Of The KING Friends
Az the name would indicate, they refused 20 be
acoo inted Wing or Tory, and Heaven forbid that
theis loyal souls should be shocked with the imPu-
tation Of Radicalisn, which they were tar enough
from deserving. They had no particular tenets
with regard 10 international Policy or Political
Economy, and were quite resigned 70 any rupture
Of alliances which did not threaten the loss Of
their places, or any alteration Of the imposts
which did not involve a curtaiment OF their walls
and perquisites. They were not especially High
Church nor Low they were neither idolstors Of
the Consultation nor devotees Of Progress-they
were By no means fanatics, nor as the world goes
were they by any means fools. They did not re-
gard La1d as a saint nor Hampden as martyr
and while they hated Cromwell twas for anything
else than his despotism. 10 short, they were men
Of no uncomfortable angulsrities-no repulsive
sternness Of opinion They were simply and alb
solutely The Kings Friends.
How this faction throve and fsttened-how Il
engrossed places and honors and emoluments-
how its soul was cheered by punderng contracts
and its ribs wsxed fat on pensions and sinecures
ali this il written In the annals Of the time. II
was ia the natural course OF things for how could
grateful monarch have refused anything % those
who loved him more than constitution or country
who constantly lauded him as Solomon, com
pairing ms reign % that Of Alfred and seeing talents
in his weakness, virtues ia bis faults ? II II were
not that thrift doth follow fawnng who would
ever fawnl Certainly not the Kings Friends.
Nor need We dwell on the ultimately disastrous
influence Of this cabal on the manners, the morals
and the liberties Of the Country-bow 1t Slapped
the principles japanned the consciences and de-
bauched the seli-rcspcct Of the governing classes,
Transforming the British government from con-
.titutional aud limited monarchy into an oriental
and absolute despotism. Such is the natural
effect Of the preponderance IN a nation Of such r
faction The Kings Friends.
Our country has encountered many pers IN its
brief career, aud is doubtless destined 10 cncoun-
ter others 1t has been tried by anarchy, by des
potsm, by sristocracy and by the lowest iacobn-
ism. These are perls incident TO a free state, 10
be watched for aud overcome. May Infinite Mercy
avert from It the peril Of a government without
principle and without purpose beyond that Of gov
erning 80 long ~ possble-a government devoted
20 personal ends and sustained personal grounds
