VITAL CHRISTIANITY IN VIRGINIA.
An aged Methodist in Knottsville, Va,
owned young negro named Jack, who
was also an exemplary member Of the
same church with his master. A slave
trader wanted to bay him, but his
master was reluctant to sell him. Fl
nally two neighbors, (members of the
same church, tempted by commits
sion bride OF S25, cit should have been
$780, induced the old gentleman to sell
lis young colored brother The poor
boy was deeply grieved at this deter
nination of his master They were
not only members of the same church,
but of the same class; and had often
worshipped and prayed together in the
class room and at their own family altar.
But Jack quietly turned his back upon
his pleasant home, and went off weep
ing with his new master
But the affair did not end here. The
Church took it up under that clause of
the Church Discipline which demands
the expulsion of member 'For buy
ing or selling men, women or children,
with the intention to enslaye them. -
All the slave-dealing " brethren were
expelled, and purse raised to buy
Jack back; but he had been hurried
off South, and will probably never see
those brethren this side the Judgment.

not. The civil appropriation bill was

the 10th of January. Two of them
we're from w lsconSln; one from Co.

4th Of November last; the other from
Richland County. The latter had been
there two. months and half, and said
he labored hard all the time, and had
not realized enough to pay for the
clothes worn out while engaged. He
stated to me that there were thirty or
forty ofthem prospecting for four weeks

The Bowels and their Functions.

$1,000
AS perfect health is the greatest blessing that
we can enjoy, without which all other blessings
Of little consequence, we deem it of great
Importance to point out the way for you to en-
JOY it. The bowels must be kept in a state by
which they enabled to carry off the useless
matter; they are the main channel which ma
ture has appointed to carry everything that is
unnecessary. And it ia impossible 10 tell what
a large amount of sickness has been caused b.
COS ipation, or costiveKess; in other words by
not keeping the bowels regular; it is the main
road to all diseases; it is the cause of unnatu
raj irritation to the mucous, or lining mem
hranes Of the bowels. Having lost their natu-
raj strength, they cannot object to what is re-
q,lired of them. Hence, the bowels become
inaamed, and unless YOU find speedy relief a
thousand other complaints are ever ready to
drag You through miserable and wretched
life. Such medicines must be given as will
cleanse the stomach and bowels, and restore
their natural strength. To accomplish this
is no compound so valuable as these Pills; all
other medicines sink to utter insigni6cance
when compared to them; il seems as though
the author Of Nature had designed them for
this as we'll as other complaints. From two to
five Fills day will increase strength and APP
petite, and cleanse the stomach and intestines
from whatever is Injurious.
