De- Carriers COUGH BALsAM.-Is a prompe
eetual remedy 'fof coughs, colds, asthma
hption, bronchitis, pain in the side and
Ss&st, and al diseases of the lungs. At this
season the sudden changes of the climate, and
the cold bleak winds of the north, produce
coughs and colds-dangerous colds, which de-
mand of the wise and the prudent, the earliest
attention. Reader, have you a cough or cold?
Do not neglect it. Thousands Of the old and the
young, the fashionable and the gay, annual
iy consigned to premature grave by neglecting
to attend to common cold. Coughs and colds
lead to consumption, and if not removed by a
proper remedy, to an early death. > Be advised

edy, DE-. Carter's Cough Balsam, which has
cured thousands upon thousands after all other
means had failed, and which seldom fails to cure
the most appalling stages of consumption.

SETTLEMENT IN KANsAs.--On Saturday last
the settlers held convention four miles west
of Fort Leavenworth. l.. Burnes, Esq, presi-
ded; J. H. II. Cundiff, Esq, Secretary.
1t was agreed that an association be formed
to regulate and protect claims upon the follow
ing principles: Settlers to register their claims
in two weeks (Mr. Grover was appointed Regis
ter) they are to protect each other in all regu-
lar claims-but If not registered in two weeks
the claim to be forfeited. Where the lands are
open to settlement, there must be occupation.
On the Delaware lands, simply to mark, stake,
and register, without residence will hold.
Now is the time for Missourians to make
claims. The country is swarming with emf
grants. Men on horseback, with cup and skill
let, and ham, flour and coffee, tied on behind
and with AK shouldered, are facing Westward
while gentlemen and ladies are driving furious.
y to and fro in carriages-printers writing
lawyers speaking-doctors gallanting ladies'
and selecting sites for esidences-companies
with flags waving, stalking out the vast prairies

up; everything alive and everybody wide awake

The line to Heaven by Christ was made
With heavenly truth the rails were laid;
From earth to Heaven the line extends,
To life eternal where il ends.
Repentance is the station, then,
Where passengers are taken in,
No fee for them is there to pay
For Jesus is himself the way.
The Bible, then, is engineer,
1t points the way to Heaven so clear;
Through tunnels dark and dreary here,
1t docs the way to glory steer
Gods love the fire; his truth the steam;
Which drives the engine and the train;
All who would to glory ride,
Must come to Christ-in him abide.
In first, and second and third class
Repentance, faith and holiness,
You must the way to glory gain,
Or you with Christ can never reign.
Come then, poor sinners, now's the time;
At any place upon the line,
If you repent turn from SIM @ f..
The train will stop and take you in.

ELEGANT ExTRAcT.-There is an eventide in
hnman life; a season when the eye becomes dim,
and the strength decays. and when the winter
of age begins to shed upon the head its prophet
ic SHOWS 1t is the season of life TO which the
Autumn is most analogous, and which it be-
comes, and much it would profit you, my elder
brethren, to mark the instructions which the
season brings. The spring and summer of
your days are gone, and with them not only
joys they knew, but many of the friends who
gave them. You have entered upon the au-
tumn of your being-and whatever may have
been the profusion of your spring, or the warm
temperament of your summer, there is yet q
season of stiffness or solitude which the benefi-
cence of heaven affords you in which you may
mediate upon the past and future, and repose
yourself for the mighty change which you are
so soon to undergo.
at is now that you may understand the mag
nifcent language Of Heaven-it mngles its
voice with that of Revelation-it summons yon
in these hours when the leaves fall and the win
ter is gathering, to that evening study which
the mercy of Heaven has provided in the book
of salvation. And while the shadowy valley
opens, which leads to the abode Of death, it
speaks of that love which can conduct to those
still waters, where there is an eternal spring for
the children Of God"
