WHAT Is LIKELY TO FOLLOW PEAcE.-One
of the commercial circulars of New York,
said to be the production of a shrewd fnan-
cier, thus speculatcs as to what is likely to
easue when the present civil war is ended:
'With peace we must Immediately eater
upon II career of unexampled activity. En-
terprise will be vastly enlarged. We shall
avoid in a great measure that prostration and
distress which commonly follow long wars.
for the productive capacity of our people is
five times greater per head than at the close
of the war of 1912. We had then hardly
begun to use the mechanical aids to labor
which have since revolutionized society. At
that time all waste had to be made good by
human toll alone. Now it is restored by the
agency of mechanical engines which have
given to each laborer hundred hands. -
There is no limit to the employment of such
aids. We shall come out of the war, CON
scquently, with every means and stimulus to
renewed activity in industrial pursuits and
the development of the natural wealth of
the country. The immense SONS invested
in the production of petroleum have made
it already one of the leading articles of ex-
port, while the development of our mines of
precious metals is most important as giving
us the means by which we can return to
specie payments They supply already n
larger quantity than we export. This fact
should remove all nnexiety of any probable
scarcity, though speculation or apprehension
rs to the future may cause a temporary ad
vance far beyond its real value

On hearing the bells ring for the Constitutions
Amendment abolishing Slavery in the United States
1t is done!
Clang of bell and roar of gun
Send the tidings up and down.
How the betries rock and reel;
How the great gans, peal on peal,
Fling the joy from town to town.
Ring. O bells!
Every stroke exulting tells
OF the burial hour of crime.
Loud and long. that all may hear,
Ring for every listening ear
OF eternity and time!
let us kneel:
Gods own voice is in that peal,
And this spot is holy ground.
Lord forgive us! What are we,
That our eyes this glory see,
That our ears have heard the sound !
For the Lord
On the whirlwind is abroad;
In the earthquake He has spoken;
He has smitten with His thunder
The iron walls asundcr,
And the gates of brass are broken!
Loud and long
Lift the old exulting song,
Sing with Miriam by the sea;
He has cast the mighty down;
Horse and rider sink and drown:
He has triumphed gloriously!
Did we dare
In our agony of prayer
Ask for more than He has done?
When was ever His right hand
Over any time or land
Stretched as now beneath the sun?
How they pale,
Ancient myth, and song, and tale,
Tn this wonder Of our days,
When the cruel rod of war
Blossoms white with righteous law,
And the wrath of iii;in is praise!
Blotted out
All within and all aboht
Shall Il fresher life begin;
Freer breathe the universe
AS it rolls its heavy curse
On the dead and buried sin!
1T is done! .- ..-. .--
In the circuit of the SIN :
Shall the sound thereof go forth.
1t shall bid the sad 'reihice,
1t shall give the dumb voice,
1t shall belt with JOY the earth!
Ring and swing
Bells of joy on mornings wing
Send the song of praise abroad;
With sound of broken chains
Tell the nation that he regns,
Who alone is Lord and God
" J.. Independent.

GOLDEN
ITCH OINTMENT;

| A SAFE, convenient and eflicacious rem.
"A edy for that most disagreeable and tor.
mcnting disorder-the ITCH-has been
always greatly needed but no one, it is
presumed, has before been discovered which
will ccrtairl y effect a cure without having
ingredients in it both disagreeable and dam
gerous. Those that have attempted its cure
with birthstone, have generally applied it
| with mixture of hogs fat, or lard, worn for
several days, OF died in by the fire either of
which exposes the patient to the most inrmi.
nent danger Of taking cold, by opening the
pores Of the body, and at the same time
lmpregnating the blood with poisonous
quality, and weakening and facilitating the
whole constitution others have used oin:-
ments which have either proved dangerous
to health, or insufficient to effect q cure.
But this will as certainly cure the ITCH
as It'll applied it is easy and safe for any
age, habit or constitution, and attended with
no disagreeable consequences Of any kind,
either at the time of using it, or at any time
after, as can be proved by thousands Of peo-
pie OF different ages, constitutions and states
OF health, who have used this ointment, and
have been cured by it.
No family ought to be without this valua-
Die medicine for, on the fret appearance of
this disorder, on the wrists and between the
fingers, &C., slight application of this Oint-
ment Will cure 1t, and prevent its progress,
and likewise its being taken by others. 1t
may also be used as a preventive, by touch
ing the hands or the inside of the gloves once
in while with little Of it, when there is a
suspicion that the disorder is prevalent, and
there is danger Of taking it. For which rea-
son no people abroad on business, no student,
traveller, soldier OF sailor, should be without
this Ointment, which is neatly put up in tin
boxes, convenient to carry, agreeable in its
smell, and will last good for long time BY
this precaution, neighborhoods, societies and
schools, might be freed from this tormenting
disorder. Should the patient have any
other eruption or breaking out, which he
mistakes for the ITCH an application of this
Ointment will do no harm, but often cures
the common breaking out, which arises from
sharp, hot humor in the blood, and leaves
smooth polish on the skin.
There have been many Ointments offered
to the public, for the cure of the ITCH, but
this valuable medicine bears no analogy to
them in its materials, use, or effects they
being generally made up of grease, brim-
stone, tar, mercury, spirits Of turpentine,
salt petre, and such like disagreeable mater
ials, which are loathsome to use, and unsafe
and uncertain in all their effects
Bsis@ Druggists can be supplied with this
Ointment by the Gross or Dozen, at reason
able prices.

BEnEADING A QrEEN!-Mary Queen of
Scots was bcheaded in the hall of Frother-
ingay Castle. The scaifold was platform
of planks, about ten feet high, twelve feet
square, surrounded by rail, and covered
with black cloth. On the platform, the
Dean of Peterborough offered his services,
but the queen refused his attentions. Her
eyes were bandaged by one Of her women
She, supposing that her head would be
stricken off with sword, after the French
fashion, sat still and perfectly erect, waiting
for the fatal blow: but at last she was made
to understand that she must kneel and lay
her head on the block. She did so, and at
three blows her head was stricken from her
body. The axe used was simply woodcut.
