The Voico of the People.

Liberty is one Of the dearest bless
ings which our forefathers have han
ded down to us. 1t was purchased by
the blood Of many a valiant revolu-
tionary hero has been guarded by a
Washington, a Jefferson, a Clay and
a Webster. But dearcr still to the
hearts Of the people is that world re-
nowned remedy known az Goes Cough
Balsam. 1t cnres like magic the most
violent attacks of Group, and is indis-
pensable in every family Of children.
Colds, sndden coughs, sore, throat,
hoars"ness, aud inhampd lungs, are in
stanriy and surely cured 10y its timely
use. No cough mixture has ever
been known that equals it, which ac-
counts for it's great popularity with
all classes. The young and old-the
rich and poor--physicians, druggists
and all who have ever tested it
speak in the highest terms OF its mer.
it's. We say to our readers-buy il
and try it. 1t costs but 40c. The bot
tie contains twice as much medicine
as You can obtain in any other way
at the same cost, and all our drug
stores keep it

AN INQUIRING MIND.

Professor Cunning, the lecturer on geology,
was interesting the primary scholars in city
school recently by showing with black board
and chalk, how the bee was made He had
just finished it by putting in the sting. when
a little fellow, who had been watching the
process most closely, spoke up:
"Mr. Dunnen .....
"What, my boy 20
"Din't bod make the beef"
"Yes, certainly. God made the bee
The little fellow was silent minute, when
he spoke again
=" Mr.. Dunnen m. .....
"Well, What now, my SOM"
~ was thinking" said the young philoso.
pher, how bod could put the sting into the
bee without ditting his fingers stung before he
let It do"
That child ought to be encouraged.

TEACH YOUR BOYS TO ASPIRE.

Much prosy advice is bestowed on boys and
young men that never get beyond the drums
of their ears. One Of the most useful i6eas
you can introduce in young head is that It's
owner is bound to make its mark in the world
If he chooses TO try. Teach him that it de-
ponds solely upon himself whether he scars
above the dead level of mediocrity or not
whether he craws or flies Give him us far
as possible, confidence in his own inherent ca
pabilties Argue that he has the same facul-
ties by which others have risen to distinction,
and that he has only to cultivate them and
apply in their exercise that mighty propulsive
agent. q determined will, in order to rise.
Bid him shoot his arrows not at the horizon,
but at the zenith. A boy who sets out in life
with the Presidency in his eye, although he
may fall short of the mark, will be pretty
sure to reach higher position than If his am
bition had been limited to the position of town
constable, or tide walters berth in the Gus
tom House. This Is not land where power
ty is a serious impediment to advancement.
Very few of our millionaires were born with
gold spoons in their mouths, and several of
the most distinguished statesmen earned their
bread in early life by the sweat of their brows.
Fortunes gifts are wrung from her in this
country by heads and hearts that know no
such word as fail. and Fame has no special ia
vors for the silk stocking class. Action, says
Aristotle, is the essence of Oratory, but II is
more true that energetic riH is the soul of sue
cess The best temporal advice father can
give son is aspire.
Boy, let the eagles fight ever be thine,
onward and upward and true 10 the line"
The Rebus in the Boys and Girls Column
Of January 18th, has been answered by the
boys Of the Cedar Rapids Atlas, as follows;
We know of nothing worse to stick
Than good old fashioned tar
And II we want dirty trick
Wen choose a rat by far.

-
Mr.. Blair arrived in Washington, from
Richmond, on Friday. Reports as to
the result of his visit are conflicting.
One despatch says that his mission
was q complete failure !" while an
other characterizes it as complete
success The following is special
despatch to the Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph, dated Washington, Jan
merry 81: tvt1. n7~s- -g--
1t is now definitely known that Mr..
Blair's mission to Richmond has been
crowned with complete success. Mr..
Davis pledged himself TO send, imme-
diately, three gentlemen to Washing
ton to confer upon terms Of peace.
Mr.. Davis stated distinctly to Mr..
Blair, that he would conclude peace
and return to the Union upon terms
that would be perfectly satisfactory to
both Mr.. Lincoln and Congress. Mr..
Blair also had an interview with Gen.
Lee, who avowed himself and soldiers
DESTROYS of ending the rebellion by
laying down their arms and returning
To the Union. Mr.. Blair also cenvers-
ed with a number of the rebel Con-
gressmen who presented themselves
as in favor of abandoning further hos
tilities. There can be no doubt that
in q day or two at the farthest, COM
missioners will reach Washington to
bring from the repentant rebels renew
ed allegiance to the Union, the Consti-
tuition and Laws. Mr.. Blair experience
ed the kindest treatment at the hands
Of the authorities, and reported that
since the reduction of Fort Fisher an
entire revulsion of public opinion has
taken place. The most extreme ad-
vocates Of fighting it out to the bitter
end now admit the hopelessness of
their cause. The probability of an
early peace was freely discussed in
social and political circles in Rich
mond, and . general feeling Of joy and
relief resulted from the rapid circula-
ton of the information. .....r
The N. Y. Tribune has the following
fron Washington: s. a'aE< ls.. .
"Mr. Blair has returned from Rich
mond. The results Of his errand are
confidently stated to be the announce
ment Of JEFF. Davis Willingness to
negotiate for the benefit of the two
countries.l He had been to Richmond
to negotiate for the benefit of one
country. Mr.. Blair is represented to
have divulged the results of his en-
bassy. He brings back, it is said,
two propositions from JEFF. Davis:
"lst. To agree to peace upon the
basis of recognition.
I'd. Willing to establish an armis-
tioe for ninety days in which to talk
about negotiations and peace. i Ga.
Mt is said the President limited
Rlair's powers in his second mission
It is said that he exceeded his powers
ON his first mission, and that he ten
dered concessions to the rebels, and
held out promises which Mr. Lincoln
disapproved of when he got back, and
then to recall and get rid of these
Blair was sent back again.
