Hours SENTIMENTs.-Thc following
is the conclusion of long letter re-
viewing the present troubles, written by
the Hon. Joseph Holt Of Kentucky:
"Could my voice reach every dwell
ing in Kentucky, l would implore its
inmates-if they would not have the
rivers of their prosperity shrink away
as do unfed streams beneath the sum-
mer-heats-to rouse themselves from
their lcthargy, and fly to the rescue of
their country, before it is everlastingly
too late. Man should appeal to man,
neighborhood to neighborhOod, until
the electric fires of patriotism shall flash
throughout the land. 1t is time in
which the workshop, the office, the
contingencies, and the field, may be
we'll abandoned for the solemn duty
that is upon us: for all these tolls will
bring but treasure, not for ourselves,
but for the spoiler, if this revolution is
not arrested. We are all with our every
earthly interest, embarked in mid ocean
on the same common deck. The howl
of the storm is in our ears, aAd the
'lightnings red glare is painting hell on
the sky, and while the noble ship pitch
cs and rolls under thc lashings of the
waves, the cry is heard that she has
sprung leak at many points, and that
the rushing waters are mounting rapid
" in the hold. The man who in such
an hour will not work at the pumps, is
either maniac or monster"
nH- We call attention to the advcr-
tisement in our columns, Ofthe Watts
Nervous Antidote," one of the most re-
markable discoveries of modern times.
1t is not like the thousand and one
remedies offered to the public that cure
everything, but it is specific remedy
for all cases arising from nervous de-
rangement. Its merits have beer
proved in numerous instances known
to us, from various sources, and many
a bed ridden invalid has been restored
to health. This is one of the remedies
of the day which is really worth the con-
tidence of the public. Having read
the advertisement, go to the nearest
druggist and purchase bottle; then
will you join with thousands in it's
praise and be grateful to US for calling
your attention to this almost miracu-
lous medicine.
