ERRATA.-Wc were absent from
our post when tho Union for last week
was struck off, and the paper was put
to press by hands upon whom that
responsibility had never before devolv-
ed; hence errors were naturally com.
mitted or left to pass uncorrected.
The Richmond correspondent of tho
Wheeling Times was made to say, by
our pro tenn. proof reader:
: "To-day Mr.. Barbour, of Mononga-
liza, began the onslaught on tho Trea-
sury in the House Of Delegates, in
advocacy of the Orange & Alexandria
application for loan of 100000"
co. The Mr.. Barbour referred to is
the member from Culpepper, and not
our representative.
g4- Another fragrant error was that
Of announcing Mr.. Kinsey Fife as q
candidate for Constable, subject to the
primary election process. Mr.. 4. is q
candidate on his own hook, with every
prospect of election to the Office. -,

THE BOWELS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS.

~ AAs perfect health is the grca,est blessing that
NE can crjoy, Without which all other blessings
arc ofl,ue 'consequonce, we deem IL Of great
i'm pc rtonce to point out the way for you to enjoy
1t. The bowels must be kept in state by which
they are enabled 10 carry of the useless natter
they are the main channel " hich natnro has p
pointed to carry ofevery,hing tina, is unnec essa-
ry. As 1t is impossible TO tell what a large
amount Of sickness has been caused ny consti-
pa ton, or cos,iSeness; in other words, by not
Ike eping the bowels regular; tits the main road
to all diseases it is the cause of unnatural ".
ritation to the mucous, or lining membrane of
the bowels. Having lost their natural strength,
they cannot obi ectto what is required of them.
Hence, the bowels become inAsmed, and unless
you find speedy relief, a thousand other COM
plants are ever ready to drag you through a
miserable and wretched life. Such medicines
must be given as will cleanse the stomach and
bowe Is, and restore their natural strength. To
accomplish this there is no ompound SO valua-
BILE as these Pills; all Uthcr medicines sink to
utter insighifcanee when compared to them !; it
seems as though the Author Of Nature had de-
signed them for this as we'll rs othe complaints.
From two to five Pills a day will increase strength
AID appetite, and cleanse the stomach aud in-
testincs from whatever is in jurlous.

ELIZABETH MABEL, daughter OF Rev.
George ]. and Sara Bruen Nixon, died March
LIST, 1898, aged years and months. For the
last two years she was a patient little sufferer,
her disease rendering her lame. From the first
0f her affection she ripencd fast for Heaven,
drawing every one to her by her gentle patience
her streng affection, and hel pless condition.
She often talked OF the :" good land" and said
she wished to go there. She was an unus usily
interesting child, being intelligent and thought
full beyond her years, and had twincd herself a.
round the hearts Of her friends, until the cords
were hard to loosen f; and heavy indeed were the
tdings which wero brought by the messenger
seemed almost angelic Through faith we be.
home, snd there We hope to meet her. Il.
Well lay her, not IN n vault so cold,
Who're dwelis tho worm, & darkness, & mould
And the grim King Death holds regal sway,
Shut out from the joyous light Of day.
But make her grave whore the grass is green,
And wild tlowers bloom IN early Spring,
Where the birds are singing on every spray,
And the sunbeam fingers the live-long day.
And the silent stars their watch will keep,
DER her lowiy bed and dreamlcss sleep,
Till Gabriei's trump shall bid her rise,
To Join her Saviour in the skies.
How glorious then that form shall be,
From every pa in, distortion, free;
Like thine orn glorious image, Lord
So thou hast taught us in thy word. s.
