CLUB HOUSE GIN.
TO THE PUBLIC,

I'M S CELEBRATED G1N-pretending to
Il nothing but what it is viz: pure and un-
aduterated article, and assuming no artificial
merits Of what it is not as come of its rival imi-
tators do-after five years Of public approval
and very extensive sales in California, has been
pronounced by the public to be superior not on
ly as beverage of general use, to any other ar
tcle competing against it, bnt is
Unrivalled in its Medical Efficiency
in most cases of complaint Topersons travel
ing in these days of rapid transit from East to
West, North to South, who are constantly chang
ing their water as well as their climate; who are
drinking, indeed, dozen kinds of water in er-
cry tWenty-four hours, and each draft contain
ing some property acting in chemical antagonism
to the preceding one, thereby causing an unnat-
ural degree of excitement to the stomach-it is
positively and absolutely necessary to use
counteracting agent. From the fact that the
"London Club House Gin"
Is prepared expressly to meet such exigeucies
and to act as VIC know it will act as an anti
dote, we confidently prescribe it the very best
article in the country. The name of " Aromatic
Scheidam Schnapps" has never been attached
In any way to this article. In first presenting
the
"London Club House Gin"
to the public, my aim was to give them pure
and unaduterated article of Gin, and to call it
by its right name. The success attending its
Introduction and extensive sale in California is
a sufficient guarantee of the high appreciation
of the article by consumers.
Various parties have from time to time put up
and shipped to California an article which they
call ''Club House Gin" Ny Gin, which has
gained such reputation in California, is brand
ed on the cases,
"O1d London Club House Gin--Nm.H.D."
The bottles also have white label with fac
smile of my signature. ] caution all parties to
beware Of limitations. WM H. DAILY,

Waiting In "Werse.n

At first they move slowly, with caution ani
grace,
Like horses when just setting out on race;
For dancers at balls, like horses at races,
Must amble little to show off their PAGES.
The music plays faster, their raptures begin,
Like lambkins they skip, like te-to-tums spin
Now draperies whrl, and now petticoats fly,
And ankles at least are exposed to the eye:
Ger the chalk-cover'd ballroom in circles they
swim
He smiles upon her, she smiles upon him:
Her hand on his shoulder is tenderly PLACID,
His arm quite as tenderly circles her waist
They still bear in mind as they're turning each
other,
The proverb-" one good turns deserving an
other"
And these bodily turns often end, it is said,
By turning the lady's or gentleman's head

The Trader
by sKURB.

Far down, where the foaming blllcws roar,
The merchant dcth reside
oh he stretches his hand 70 tie farthest shore,
And bids the labor of earth to pour
At bis feet its golden tide
He launches his coursers, winged with white,
To the battling wave and wind,
Deep freighted with burthens OF Wesi1h ana
light,
To bless the nations, and burnish bright
The Friendship that links mankind.
For commerce and progress, with equal pace,
Shove onward side by side,
To plant with roses earths desert place
To loose the bonds of the human race,
And bid it look up in pride.
Oh, freely give to the merchant then,
The laurel to virtue due;
Write full his name, earth's worthiest pen
As one, to God and his fellow men,
An honor and blessing true.
But up where the fleecy torrents fall,
Mid the mountains cragg'd and old,
When rock and river and tree and all
Are buried deep in one silent pail,
Ghastly, unbroken and cold
The trader gloats DER his full supplies,
While round him stalks Hunger gaunt-
He strengthens his bolts and raises his price,
With Pay me double and pay me thrice,
Pay me in gold or perish for wantl"
No helping hand can come there from without,
Ger that snowy barrier high,
That wraps like winding sheet about,
While the dealer utters with triumphant shout,
Oh, pay me triple or die"
Stout Joaquin, with his cut-throat band,
Turks by the lonely way,
And the traveller greets with a ducet +" Stand
Your life or your moneyl''-a mild command
He eagerly hastens to obey.
Say then, how differs the ruffian's knife,
From the traders heartless gyve?
TO each your purse is the end of strife
To one you give all to save your life,
To the other that you may live
II one their purpose, be one their name
Two straws from a common sheaf-
Yet to call them merchants were burning shame
But robber and trader alike may claim
The Saxon title of-well, what?

Ba- Some months since, DR.. Tyler was sent
to San Francisco by the Free-lovers of the East,
for the double purpose of forming a society here,
and selecting suitable location, either in Mex
leo or Central America, for the concentration of
the various associations, numbering near FIVE
thousand members. One hundred and fifty
square miles of territory have been purchased in
Honduras, at the rate of twelve and a half cents
per acre. and thither the Free-lovers will soon
be vending their way from every part of the
Union. The society in this city, which already
numbers over hundred members, will take pas
sage for the promised land early in the fall. So
much for Free-love in San Francisco Should
they and their Atlantic brethren succeed in set
ting in Honduras, they will not only rid us of
their pestilential presence, but do something in
the way of Americanizing the republics of Cen
trail America, and preparing them for admission
into Uncle Sans increasing family.-Gold. Era

The Inspiration OF the Bible.

When VI. de Tocqueville was here, he asked
to see Sabbath-school He was struck with
seeing a Bible in the hands of almost every
child. ''Is this common ?" said he to his friend
" What mighty influence it must have upon the
nation" Think of the unnumbered Sabbath
school pupils in all Christian lands, all with
books in their handsl More striking still is the
thought of all Christians in all lands, sitting in
their private rooms, every morning before they
60 into the world, to read this one book. What
must this book be to furnish the minds and
hearts of spiritual people with exhaustless sup.
plies of thought and emotion? Not so with
Shakespeare; even Bunyan, copying so closely
from the Bible, cannot fill such place. e Do
not read Bunyan to me any more" said distin-
guished missionary lady, near her end, to her
husband Bunyan tires me, but | can hear you
read the Bible without fatigue"
Why has not " Josephus' History of the
Jews" equal power with this Book, when relat-
ing the very same things? Because inspiration
has flowed into the very thoughts and language
OF the Bible. You cannot define it, any more
than you can anatomize smile. A quotation,
by public speaker, of Bible language has pow
er upon his audience which is beyond explana-
ton, except from its 5upernaturalness.
God, knowing that this Book was to be the
only source of spiritual thought and life, would
not have left it a fallibe guide He, who hang
ing the earth with nothing endowed the North
with the mysterious power of magnetism to
guide the mariner, has not left the soul without
a sure source of information to reach heaven.
But did a man have inspiration in saying some
of these very common things? Certainly, to say
them just then, and just so, as part of the
great whole. See that rope on the top of the
cross, in Reaubens picture Was Reuben's ge-
MUS requisite to paint that rope? Could not a
common painter have made it? No, Reuben
conceived the idea an ordinary man might not
have done so. You might criticise little things
in any painting or statue, and fritter the whole
away The principles of criticism which some
thus apply to the Bible, if taken into the Athe-
naum gallery, would cause a man to be de-
spised-Dr Nehemiah Adams
