STEPS TOWARD HEAVEN
OR,
Religion in Common Life.

Written by T. S. ARTHUR, the well known
author, of whom it has been truly said " That
dying, he has not ,crittea ,cord he could irish TO
erase" His graphic pen never tires, and in
this new volume we perceive that he is still
successfully laboring to benefit while he
pleases, and while he enchains with master
hand the attention of men, to make them bet
ter. This is more decidedly religious than his
other works, though it is not doctrinal nor
sectarian. 1t is a work well calculated to do
good, and is designed to show that the beau
ties and endearments of Christianity are to be
developed amid the stern realities of everyday
life, land not to be put aside at the tranquil
close of Sabbath evening

GOING SOMEWHERE.

Man has a passion for going some
where, and going rapidly. The body
is a very convenient thing, but 1t is
the minds baggage-its impedtmeata,
as Caesar would call Though you
make the best of it you can and man
has contrived all sorts of ways to
transport this baggage, with the least
possible delay The more feet he can
have at command, the better Hence
his passion for riding now camel,
and now COW; he saddles the ele-
phant, he brides the horse, he mounts
the ostrich he harnesses the buffalo
he hastens the reindeer he guides
the dog; Aprodite drove span OF
sparrows, and Bacchus bestrode a
tiger.
lie digs out a canoe and rides riv-
cr: he flashes down the back of a
snowy hill like a shuttle he goes up
in balloon like a bubble he makes
wings, and comes down like that sill
ly boy of Daedalus'. He has Matched
a bird that never Clipped a shell-a
bird with ribs of oak, and wings
broader than the Arabian Roc's he
has tortured such crystal stuff as rills
are made of, until it has painted and
throbbcd like a giant he has gone
fifty miles TO bed after sunset; he
would ride the Grand Lama, if the
Tartars would let him.
And so he whirls his baggage about
the world by wind and water, fin and
wing, lever and wheel, eager to over.
take his mind, that like the magical
arrow, flies on forever before him.
Like desperate prisoner, he is in
cessantly trying to break out of hi,
horizon, and escape, even if he leaves
his precious baggage behind him
He climbs to the masthead or clam
bers the mountain, if by any means
he may look over it; he puts his eal
to the earth, if perchance, he may hear
his way out Of it, He sways the
wooden arms of his telegraph about,
and makes signs with it's pulseless
fingers to whoever may be watching
beyond it,
lie builds a bridge of timbers of
light, and through a round gateway
of glass, has gone safely over anc
Looked his mind to the stars thus has
he waved the red wings Of the Morn
ing, and gone out of this world "scol
free"
And what with his far writer's, far
hearers and seers, he has added "a
cubit to his stature :" he has grown
taller and stronger. his arms have a
wider sweep, and his hands broader
grasp.
Not only do men struggle to escape
from their horizons, but they make
successful efforts to get ont of to-day
into tomorrow they vault over the
wall of night they speak after they
are dead, and it is no miracle, but the
simplest thing in life; they just shoe
their minds with steel sandals, and
they leave tracks-footprints on mar
Die and brass, on wood and iron. We
have agreed to call this, written

would call it "sign" of mind. Wher

for the whole Glass Of Diseases origi.
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the ne
cessities of the American people than a sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such remedy
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect GER
tainty that it will eradicate the disease, and with
assurance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents TINS us
order must be of immense service in the commu-
mites where it prevails. Prernt'on is better
than cure, for the patient escapes the RISK when
he must run in violent attacks OF tins baIcfui
distcmper. This "CURE cXpcls the mas
matte poison of FEVER AND AGrE from the
system, and prevents the development OF the
disease, if taken on the first approach OF its pre-
monitorv symptoms. 1t is not only the best
remedy ever vet discovered for this class of COM
plaints but also the cheapest. The large guam
tity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts,
where FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body
should have it, and use it freely, both for cure
and protection. 1t is hoped this price will place
it within the reach of all the poor as well the
rich A great superiority of this remedy over
any other ever discovered for the speedy and
certain cure of Intcrmttents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it produces
no quinism or other I'M urious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured by it are
left as healthy as if they had never had the dis
case.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation, among which ar,
Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma
Palpitaiion, Painful Affection of the Spleen
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis
and arrangement of the Stomach, all of which
when originating in this cause, put on the inter
mittcnt type, or become periodical. This 'CURE'
eNpels the poison from the blood, and consc
qucntIy cures them all alike. 1t is an invalua

they avail themselves of the protection this rem
cdy affords.
