1 established fact that all diseases arts
IMPURE BLOODI

The blood is the life and when any foreign OF
healthy matter gets mixed with it, it is at dis
tributed to every organ of the body. Every nerve
feels the poison, and all the vital organs quickly
complain. The stomach will not digest tn Q food
perfectly. The liver ceases to secrete fciency
tire circulation is feeble. The lungs become
clogged with the poisonous matter; hence a cough
and all from slight impurity at the fountain
head of Hfe-ethe Blood As if you had thrown
earth, for instance, in pure spring. from
which tiny rivulet, in few minutes the
whole course of the stream becomes disturbed and
discolored. AS quickly does impure blood fly to
every part, and leave its sting behind AL the pas
sages become obstrueted and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp of life soon dies out.
These pills not only purify the blood, but regen-
crate all The secretions OF the body therefore, I'M

created this fesling of hostility in the

The Republican party cannot shift the
of the present state of affairs
OF to the Democracy. Our glorious old
party always has been for the enforcement
of the Laws--ever sustained the Consti.
tuition and its Oompromises--ever been
national in its principles and its organiza.
ton. It warned the people of this coun-
try that the triumph of powerful Sec
tional Organization, with. candidates taken
exclusively from its own sectlon--with a
political creed avowedly antagonistical to
the interests and Institutions of the South.
would bring upon the country disaster,
ruin and perhaps civil war. The predic.
tions of the Democracy are true. The
country is upon the very abyss Of separa-
tion. South Caroline has declared her.
self independent Of the Union, and the
telegraph brings us intelligence from sec

conservative, indicating that the hearts ol

Trundlfng a Whecl-barrOw mt q
Stake.

Reader, did you ever try, blindfold, to
trundle wheel-baarow at stake3 You
didn't? Then try it at once. No. get
some "other feller' to try it. It is funny;
immensely, excruciatingly funny. Un-
button your coat and vest before he starts,
and select good place to lay down and
roll over and kick up. your heels,
Sixteen enterpfising individuals tried it
here, on New Years day. The stake was
one hundred yards from the starting point
All being ready number o..e started,
walked particularly straight and careful.
He counted his steps, so that if by any
accident he should fail to hit the stake, he
might not go too far beyond it. The
number of steps being travelled. he put
down the wheel barrow; he lifted the
bandage from bis eyes; he looked down at
his feet for the stake. 1t wss not there.
He took wider circuit with his eyes, brt
still did not see it. He had missed it
just one hundred and sixty-iye yards!
Such shouting, yelling, laughing, never
was heard about Woods6eld.
With slight variations the same descrip.
ltion suits all the attempts. Last of all
we started. We went straight as bee.
line. We could easily tell that we were
fgoing straight We wondered what made
the others ramble over the field making
circles and crossing their own tracks.
We were afraid that the others, seeing
us go SO direct to the stake, would think
we had not been fairly blindfolded We
Thought Of turning q little to one side, &c
avoid this suspicion; bnt concluded We
would plant ourself upon our veracity
we would drive the wheel square against
the stake. By the time we had thought
this over, we were near the stake. W.
lslackened our pace so as to hitait gently
and prevent breaking our shins. We still
went oa. The stake was farther off than
we had supposed. We still went on unti
we thought it possible that we had misset
the stake and got past it. We were abou
to- put the barrow down when-chnek, ",
hit it. We raised the bandage trium
Iphantly. and the crowd raised q shout jus
as triumphantly.
We hadn't hit the stake. It was d
one side of the field, and We on the other
We were intensely disgusted.
