sequences ensue. For Earache and Nervous

Plenty.

In the midst of the gloom of our ma
tional troubles, a kind Providence has
vouchsafed to US an abundance of all the
necessaries of life. From all the loyal
States comes news of the most abundant
crops. The wheat crop has been safely
harvested, and was never better, take the
country through. Corn is promising
finely; and of fruits there was never a
better prospect Prices are reasonable
not too low for the producer, nor too high
for the consumer. What great reason
we have for thankfulness in all this.
While those who brought this war upon
the country for the purpose of overthrow
ing and destroying the Government are
compelled to pay the most exhorbitant
prices for the actual necessaries of life,
and in many cases are suffering from want
of food, while their country is desoated
and the business of their towns and cities
destroyed, we, who are laboring and fight
ing for the maintenance of our Govern
ment, are blessed with the greatest
abundance of everything, our fields are
richly laden with bounteous crops, and
the business of our towns and cities
scarcely feels, as yet, any inconvenience
from the war. Is there not something
more than accident in all this? Is not
the same bonefcent hand that strength
ened and guided the patriot fathers III the
establishment of this Government now
bestowing its blessings on those who are
striving to maintain it?

THEDYIYG SOLDIER.

A pious soldier mortally wounded in
one of the great battles Of the Peninsula
war, was carried by two or three attached
comradessto the rear of the scene of ac-
tiOn. They laid him down under tree,
unwilling to leave him in such a condi-
tion of agony and peril, fingered beside
him to see if there was no act of kind
ness which they could do. His speech
seemed much affected so that he was
unable to answer intellisibly to their in
quiries, but he made them understand by
signs that he did not wish them to remain
with him to the neglect of their post of
duty in the battle. Reluctantly they
left him and returned. A little while af-
ter, an officer who had been hastily sum-
lnoned from distance to join the action
rode past. He pulled up on seeing a
fellow countryman alone and bleeding to
death, and asked if there was anything
g he could do for him. The soldier mur-
INJURED something in the negative, and
motioned to him also to 60 forward
"My poor fellow" said the officer kindly,
off you are SO far gone as to be beyond
the reach of help yourself, perhaps l
could do something for your friends at
home is there no message | could carry
for you to your wife and children ?"
At the mention of his family flash of
consciousness seemed to return to the dy-
ing man. He said distinctly: eyes !;
knapsack-book."
The officer dismounted and opened the
knapsack beside him. He searched for
a book in it, and soon drew out Bible,
The soldier continued; "Read John
XIV. 81"
The hand which held it was little ac-
customed to turn over the sacred pages,
and slowly, and not without difficulty,
the verse was found and read. A radiant
and heavenly smile lighted up the poor
mans features as he listened "There !
There ~ he exclaimed, in thrilling and
triumphant tones, "it is all [ want.
have peace. | am going home; my Sa-
vior is waiting to receive me-"
The officer gazed on him a moment in
speechless astonishment, and then re-
membering that he ought to have been at
his post before now, threw the bible into
the knapsack, sprang into his saddle and
was gone.
Within an hour afterward that same
officer was carried by his men on rude
, litter out of the field of battle. He too
was mortally wounded, and had not spo.
ken until they approached the tree where
the lifeless remains of the soldier were
now stretched on the field. The spot too
vividiy recalled the circumstances which
had taken place there SO short a time be-
fore. Passing his hand over his fore
head, he was heard to say in tones of
heartfelt anguish: "I have no Bible. |
have no peace, there is no Savior waiting
to receive me-"
Both these men were exposed to the
power of the sword; both as to their
mortal life fell victims to it; yet the heir
of the promise in the hour Of his lonely
death, experienced the 81 will" of deliv.
erance-his soul was redeemed from the
power of his sword.

NOW,
ARE DR.. HURD'S PREPARATIONS GOOD

HURD is an eminent Dentist of Brooklyn.

Association, and these preparations have been
used in his private practice for years, and no
leading citizen of Brooklyn or Williamsburgh
questions their excellence, while eminent
Dentists of New York recommend them as the
best known to the profession. Without the
aid of advertising, dealers have sold them by
| the gross.
| The Editor ofthe Brooklyn Daily Times says
1--WE are happy to know that our friend, DR..
| Hurd, is succeeding beyond all expectations
with his Mouth Wash and Tooth Powder. The
great secret of his success rests with the fact
that his articles are precisely what they are

may test the matter for himself
