HOME AND FRIENDS AROUND US.
Oh, there's power, to make each hour
As sweet as Heaven designed it;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that fnd it.
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found US;
For eye hath here no charm so dear,
AS home, and friends around US.
We oft destroy the present joy
For future hopes, aud praise them,
While flowers as sweet, bloom at our feet,
lived but stoop to raise them.
For things afar still sweeter are,
When youths bright spell'had bound us,
But soon we're taught that earth hath nousht
Like home and friends around US.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
To show US still, that come what will,
We are not quite mistaken.
Though all were night, if but the light
From friendships altar crowned US,
'Twould prove the bliss Of earth was this:

protest, which stated that he alone had right

further stated that he should not oppose Rev.

A Broken-Down System.

There is disease to which the doctors give many
names, but which few of them understand. 1t IS
simply Weakness breaking down of the vital forces
Whatever its causes, land they inumsrable, its
symptoms are in the main the same. Among the
most prominent are extreme lassitude, loss of appe
tite loss of flesh, and great mental depression In
digestion and Stomach Cough are also frequently
concomitants Of this distressing state of body and
mind. The common remark in relation to persons
in such condition is, that they are consumptive.
Now, what these unortunates really want is sigor-
vital strength; and as certainly as dawn succeeds
darkness they can recuperate their systems and re-
gain perfect health by reso, ting to HOSTETTER's
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERs. tits clear
that iferevving tonic is required in such cases. as
that the dying flame of empty lamp requires to be
revived with new supply ofoil. Perfectly pure and
innocuous, containing nothing but the most genial
vegetable extracts, and combining the three grand
elements OF stomachc and alternatives and genial
invgorant. Hostetter's Bitters are suitable to ali
constitutions, and applicable to the diseases

The Indian Commission assembled here to-
day in preliminary session. The following
persons compose the Commission: Judge Cool
ey, Commissioner Of Indian Affairs; Colonel
Welles, Superintendent of the Southwestern
Indians; Thomas Wistar, of Philadelphia;
Genraal Parker, of General Grants staff; Gem
erals Heron and Harvey. Representatives
were present from the Seminoles, Cherokees,
Creeks, Wyandottes and Quaforus. The
ChickasaWs act with the Choctaws.
A bitter feud exists between the rebel and
loyal full and half blooded Indians, which will
interfere seriously with the work of the Com
mission. The Indians win object to the eman-
cipation of their slaves.
