To THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. .
~ ENTLEM EN.-The valuable medicinal
VI properties Of Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the faculty, but the great dis
advantage arising from its nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented its administration in many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual 8, mOdas operandT of prescribing il, either
in the form OF an Emulsion Gelatinous Cap
sues, has not been found satisfactory, beng liable
to some objection, either from the difficulty expe
renced by some individuals in the degluttion OF
the Capsule or the small quantity of Copaiba gen.
orally found in The Emulsion.
Joyce's tasteess solution of Copaiba is the
most unique preparation yet introduced to the
medical profession, as il contains SO per cent. OF
the pure.t Para Copaba, without taste or smell,
and at same time mixes clearly and freely with
water. and is pronounced by the most eminent
physicians and analytical chemists In the old and
new worlds TO contain all the medicinal proper
ties of Basam Copaiba without its disagreahle
characteristics.
1t is an efficient preparation for all diseases OF
the mucous membranes, and particularly Como.

The LITTLE ONES PRAYER.-A little
child knelt at twilight hour near the broken
lattice of small, poverty stricken cottage
Casting glance at the sleeping form of an
inebriate father opposite her, clasped her
wan hands and murmuring gazing out into
the silver starlight
'Oh God, make father leave his ways;
make him my own dear father once again
Make mothers sad locks go away, and make
her own smile come back; but Thy will be
done'
Just then the little ones mother entered
the room; and taking her husband, who had
just awakened, by the arm, she said
'Harken to Minnie-she's praying
'Oh God, make father love me as once he
did, and make him forsake his bad ways.
murmured the little one, her clear tones
breaking the, husbands silence.
'Oh, Paul-husband!' cried the mother,
'oh, by your past joys and sorrows, by our
welded love. blight not the life Of our little
one; Oh, re 'orm, and let US all be happy once
again.
The conscience stricken man bowed his
head and vept. Then clasping his hands
be said:
With Gods help, you viii never be made
to sorrow On my account again.
And he kept his VOW.

Henry Clay took part in the debate and
denounced the scheme which Mr.. Buchanan
advocated as IAN AVOWED POLICY TO
REDUCE THE WAGES OF LABOR
He was succeeded by ''honest John Davis"
of Massachusetts,, who cited mass of sta;is-
tics, which we lately spread before the rea-
ders of the Journal. to show that the ave.
age of "the real pr: ce of labor. throughout
the world" which Mr.. Buchanan wanted
the worth of American industry reduced to-,
was less than TEN CENTS A DAY.
And the mechanics Of his own State of
Pennsylvania, as token of their resent

Tribute to Col. Fremont from SEN
ator Walker.

In the debate on the Compromise Meas
ures Of 1850, Hon. Isaac p Walker, of Wis.
consin. made the following allusion to Col.
Fremont's already well known views of
Slavery:
What would the Senator Mr.. Downs1
have! Would he have the elastic, bounding
activity of the North 10 await the slow and
sluggish movements of the slaye-labor ma
chinery of the South, in settling the Terri
tories! Does he expect this. II so-mark
nv words--he will expect in vain, until the
last ciod has isljsn upon the last coffin of
the list slave whose servile foot imprints
the Southern soil. IL will rot wait. You
cdnaot chain the octire energy Of he NORTH.
EoC COULD Not CHAIN THAT OF FRE-
MONT. tie did not wait to provide "trans-
portation'' for slaves; but calling about hin
his hardy ccuntrymen, he braysd the perils
Of want, hunger, Ihirs; and mountain sEows;
nor was he appalled, when death itself s,rew-
ed victims on his path. His noble fortituds
and energy have been. as they deserved, re-
warled by an active, enserprising people.
Th ugh OF the sonny South, he possessed
the USEFUL, DARING, AND cHAlNLEss SOUL
OF THE NoRrH. He broke the coils that
bound him to the corpse of Slavery.

Dedication Of a new Church.

To the Editor Of the Belmont Chronicle:
What wonderful changes have taken
place in this. western world, since the time
when the first Christian Church disembark-
ed from one vessel (after having been toss
ed for many weeks like second Ark upon
the Jcean) AM worshiped God on the barren
shore, without sanctuary and without a
habitation to shelter them.
When this now great country was one
vast waving forest, the sound of the Church
going Bell, hal never been heard, and the
name of Jesus was unknown. But soou
after the Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers
log Cabins and log school houses and
churches were raised. There in many respects
were delightful times, and in this age of
wealth and magnificence are not to be de-
spised. Thousands were converted in these
log churches an1 traiFed up for heaven.
While we therefore love to look back to
the Patriarchal simplicity ofthat age,we also
rejoice in the progress and Improvements
OF the present age.
With our country studded all over with
villages and splendid cities, and with state
ly mansions on the farms. Itwould not
do, to have log Churches now. And hence
it is. that we see so many splendid Church
ediices erected all over the country.
We had the pleasure of attending the
dedication of the new Presbyterian Church
in Mount Pleasant few days ago. We
have seldom seen more tastefully finished
Church. II reflects great honor upon the
workmen and the "bulding Committee"
We would advise persons intending to
build to go and see the Church, and have an
interview with the building Committee.
The dedication services were conducted
in the following manner. lnFocation and
reading the scriptures by the Rev. Benja
min Mitchell the pastor. Prayer by the
Rev. John Faris, sermon by the Rev. Samuel
Boyd and it was a sermon, prayer by the
Rev. w R. Vincent en- appropriate address
bv Rev. John Moffat, hymns and benediction
BY Mr.. Boyd.
Mr.. Mitchell their present pastor has
preached for them nearly 80 years. Peace
and prosperity have attended his labors ali
the time. In view of the present and past
good state of feeling between pastor and
people, as we locked into their happy faces,
on that long to be remembered day we
prayed with the Psalmist ''Peace be within
thy walls and prosperity within thy Palaces,
for my brethren and companions, sakes |
will now say peace be within thee.
They have paid off all their debts.

Second Childhood.

The old man falters and his grey hairs
float over the faxen curls of the babe upon
his knee. He falters-for he is telling a
simple tale, little meaningless nursery
story. and the recital brings tears to bis
childish old eyes. until verify he is sobbing
over that glossy hair The babe looks up
unmoved, only wondering what makes
grandpa cry; and its tiny fingers receive the
tears as they drop.
Second childhoodl There is something
strange yet strangely tender in the con-
temptation of decrepid old age; something
sorrowfu in the plaintive, tremulous tones
of his cracked voice; something winning in
the way he looks in faces that are dear to
him-something sweet in the tenderness
Hith which the old man in his dotage grasps
the strong arm that supports him.
Forty years ago." and that is the burden
of his daily song-"forty years ago-ah!
was young then," and the faded eyes roll
upward, and the venerable brow is shaken
The song, the story of Lang Syne' are re-
membered with all the clustering jokes, the
familiar faces, the sunny smiles, while the
death OF yesterday is only dimly thought Of
when some passing expression, something
missed, attracts for a brief moment his wan
dering thoughts.
And now he takes his cane, cut years ago
from the branch of an aged hickory, and
totters forth, led by child. A spear of
grass is placed in.his trembling hand, and
be babbles over it, winding it over his blush
white finger, and patting it on his knee
Sometimes (and it seems then as if some
angel influence had warmed the brain to a
momentary intelligence) he looks up into
the sky-with what glance! So childlike,
so confiding, with smile all free from earth
illness, with trust that sayeth my Father.
Second childhood! the old wife has gone
