FLORAL CORDIAL.

For the rettef and permanent cure Of Gonor-
rh9a, elects, Structures, Seminal Losses,
Leuchorta, Grarel, 4c.
THE FLORAL CORDIAL has gained extern
L sive character as a cure, both safe and
pleasant for the above nam9d very common
and destroying complaint. Persons who have
suffered long with disease and whose constitu-
tons have been impaired by continuous use
OF powerful drugs, have been restored to
health and vigor, by the use of two
bottles of the preparation. Those afflicted
would not only save money, but great deal
of unnecessary suffering, by giving the Cor
dial a fair trial.
The cordial is pleasant to the taste and pleas
ant in its effects. In using it no restrictions
are necessary.
- Price, per bottle, only one dollar

Sabbath THOUGHTS.


Another bright and heaven-created day
made earth an Eden, and all things wor-
shippers. Rejoicing nature revelled in
the suns warm rays, and tuned its
hymns of thankfulness with every whis-
pering breeze, in every gently murmuring
brook and stream. The feathered song
sters fitted from tree to tree, from grove
to grove, and chirped with joyful glee
their notes of love and alteration. The
very f1ocks and herds lifted their meek
and patient eyes to heaven and offered up
their mute acknowledgements to Him who
having made, did not forget or fail to give
bountiful provision to meet his crea-
lures wants.
And while thus earth, and tree, and
flower, bird, beast, and natures SELF
raised one united paan to the author of
their being, where was the voice of man,
the last most perfect work of God! Did
human rapture louder swell the anthem,
did human hearts pour out the notes of
higher praise, to mount above and lead
the universal offering which rose to heav-
ems altar and mingled with the songs of
angels!
Alas. the curse is on us and is working
still. While all around, above, are striv-
ing which shall win approving smiles
from Deity, man, man alone, stands back
and riots in perverseness. Falsehood and
detraction labor to pull down the feeble
barriers which virtue raises, SANDER as
sails and blackens what it cannot initiate,
malice with fiendish hate pursues its VIC
tim to the very Threshold of eternity,
and Lucifer with grim, exulting smile,
looks ON to see the darkest of his foul
conceptions live, grow and flourish,
through the victims of his first deceit.
. We, who set apart to do Gods work,
are lingering at your task, rouse up and
put your armor on. Raise high the cross,
and speed it through the worlds wide
range, till every heart shall break, till
every knee shall bow, till every lip shall
offer up the incense of soul redeemed
from Satan's thraldom

Street Loungers.

SLro0t LOUuSSoIb.
Mr.. ED1roR:-The practice which pre-
walls here to a considerable extent among
men, of congregating upon the hotel-steps
and on the corners of an afternoon, calls
for the severest condemnation of the
Press. To such an extent has this evil
grown, that Pennsylvania Avenue is no
longer pleasant promenade, but a posi-
the nuisance; rendered so by these gangs
ofmen, whose whole business it seems is
to stare females out of countenance, and
compel them at every step to inhale the
smoke of innumerable segars, or wade
through the filth occasioned by their con-
slant splitting of tobacco,juice.
1t is absolutely disgusting to pass in
front of some of these hotels Of an after
noon. The great wonder is, that these
men have not more respect for their cha
racters as gentlemen, than such course
implies. To witness the apparent gusto
with which they puff the smoke of their
segars into everybody's face-the efforts
they make to throw their tobacco-juice
at least into the middle of the pavement
OR the pertinacity with which they
keep their eyes fixed on ladies, even after
they have passed-one would naturally
suppose they were engaged in some laud-
able occupation. But to every man or
woman possessed of common decency and
politeness their conduct must appear in
the highest degree reprehensible, and
cannot but be regarded as an evidence
of a total want on their part of those
refined feelings which every gentleman
possesses.
An utter disregard to the comfort and
convenience of females has not yet become
the distinguishing feature in the charac-
ter Of a gentleman: and those, therefore,
who obstinately persist in practice so
repugnant to the feelings of ladies', cannot
complain if the latter resolve to regard
them no longer as gentlemen.
