Count Them,

Count What! Why, count the merces

through every period of your history. Down
they come every morning and every evening
as angel messengers from the Father Of

heaven. Have you lived these years, vast.
Ing mercies, trending the m beneath your
feet, and consuming them every day, and
never yet realized from whence they came !

Do you ask what are these mercies Ask
the SUM- beam, the ruin.drop, the stsr, or the
queen of night. What is life but mercv =
What is health, strength, friendship, socisl
life, the Gospel Of Christ, divine worship :,
Had they the power Of speech, each would
say' II am mercy" Perhaps you have
never regarded them as such. If not, Won

Happy is he who looks at the bright side

cannot improve them, he msy pass among

system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent

Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-

the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the exere-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this

we term GcclinaGtatiOn. Time may accomplish the

reason to believe this is a surer as well as safer

important advantage to the public, which Is, that
it is cheap as well as good.

the horizon this vspor fingers near the eafthS sur.
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood There it acts as an irritating
poison on the internal yiscera and excreng organs
Of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile rom
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitu.
tionai disorder. The Spleen the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct Of our or,
ganisrn; as II in an attempt 70 sxpel the noxiou
infusion, concentrates the whole blood Of the body
in the internal excIetores to force them to cast il
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes TO
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the CHILL. But In this effort 1t fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the cen'
tral organs and Fushes to the surface, as If in

that other great 1exeretory-the skin. In this

to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These

DEATH OF AN OLD SOLDIER.-Departed
this lite, at his residence, in Nassau County,
Florida, John Daniel Vaughan, in the ninety
eighth year of his age. He was born in the
city OF Boston, on the first day of March, a.
D., 1863 when the ancient Boston was "the
cradle of liberty" He was at the battle of
Lexington, though mere boy, and participa-
ted in the very inception of that immortal
struggle which eventuated so gloriously for us
as nation. The father of the deceased, and
two Of his uncles, participated in the struggle
for liberty; they were present and fought man
fully at the battles of Saltwater and Saratoga
and in that fight, when Burgoyne surrendered,
lie received his mortally wounded uncle in his
arms, who died a few moments afterwards
He was with the Father of his Country dur
ing that trying winter at Valley Forge, and
was, with Others cheered in suffering by his
approving smile. He was continually in
the service of his country, from the first fire
at Lexington to the surrender of Lord Corn
wallis, and passed consecutively through the
battles of Trenton and Monmouth. After the
war, he, with a few others, directed their
course westward, navigating in that early day
the waters of the Ohio. While on one of
these expeditions, he, with three others, was
captured by the Indians and tied to stakes to
be burned. Fortunately, he, with two others,
made their escape and arrived safely at Fort
Pitt, afterwards Pittsburg. He took part in
most of the Indian difficulties in the west and
was among the first who navigated the great
Mississippi river. In 1896 he removed to
Amelia Island, and has lived ever since in this
county. On the 10th, after a short but not
painful illness, he sank into the sleep of death.
Just fifty years after he left Boston, he return
ed to see his native place, when behold, he was
stranger in strange land. Knew no one
no one knew him and after 1iliupnt search
found one cousin. His old home was displaced
by costly edtices. He left Boston when there
was no north, no south, no east, no west, and
to the end of his long life cherished a longing
love for the Union, for which he had fought so
hard, and was frequently heard to say that he
prayed God not to extend his life to behold
the downfall of American independence. He
was a democrat of the Jefferson school, and
died as he had lived an honest man.
