The White Pine Compound, advertised at length In
columns is not only as to its name inviting, but
is highly approved medicine. DIR. j. w. Poland,
the inventor, has the confidence of many who know
him, a confidence which he enjoyed while laboring
usefully many years Baptist minister. His ex-
perience as sufferer led to him to make experiments
which issued in his medical dlscovery.-Boston

s'The White Pine Compound is advertised at m UGH
length in columns and happy to learn that
the demand for 1t is increasing beyond all previous
expectations. 1t the very best medicine for Coughs
and Colds we know of, and no family that has once
used 1t will be without 1t. We speak from our own
knowledge, it is to kill cold and pleasant as
sure. The greatest inventions by accident and
1t is singular that the White Pine Compound made
for Colds and Coughs should prove to be the greatest
remedy for kidney difficulties known. But SO it is
We cannot doubt IL, many testimonials come to us
from we'll lSnown men. Besides the character of Dr.
Poland is SUCH that know that he will not coun-
tenanee what is wrong For years a Baptist cler-
gyman, studying medicine to find remedies for his
ailments, with delicate consumptve look, standing
with foot upon the grave, he made he discovery
which has saved himself, and called out from hum
dreds of Others the strongest testimonials possible
We have known DIR. Poland for years and never
knew o more conscientious, honest, upright man.
and are glad to state that we believe whatever he
says about his White Pine Compound"

Andrews University in Scotland, was, prior
to his appointment to his Chair, rector.to
an academy in Forfarshire. He was par
ticularly reserved in his intercourse with
the fair sex, but in prospect of obtaining a
professorship, he ventured to make propo.
sails to lady. They were walking together,
and the important question was put without
preliminary sentiment or note of warning
Of course the lady replied by gentle
"No" The subject was Immediately
dropped but the parties soon met again.
"Do you remember" at length said the
lady, s'a question you put to me when We

D@- Ofall the freaks Of the telegraph, the
following is the most laughable which has
come under our knowledge: Not long since
a graduate from one of our Eastern theologi
cal schools was called to the pastoral charge
of church in the extreme southwest
When about to start for his new parish, he
was unexpectedly detained by the incapaci-
ty of his Presbytery to ordain him. In Or
der to explain his non. arrival at the appoint.
ed time, he sent the following telegram to
the deacons of the church: "Presbytery
lacked quorum to ordain." In the course
of its journey the message got strangely
uetamorphosed, and reached the astonished
deacons in this shape: aPresbytery tackled
worm on to Adam" The sober church
officers were sorely discomposed and mysti-'
fed, but after grave consultation, concluded
it was the minister's facetious way Of an.
nouncing that he had got married, aud ac-
cordiugly proceeded to provide lodgings for
two instead of one.

A WAR ANECDoTE OF THE LATE Colo
MEL I. G. SEYMOUR, OF THE SIXTH LoUI:
sIANA While in winter quarters near
CentreVille, it came to pass that one of the
drummers, who was, on account of his con-
duct, not a particular favorite of the Colo
mel, beat the wrong call The "old man"
whe, from his long military career, was
perfectly au .fatt in all matters of camp
life, rushed out of his tent, and meeting
what he supposed to be the rascally drum
mer, at once went to work to punish him !;
and having done so, he returned to his tent,
where he found his orderly, Fred, Ger.
man youth, of quite genteel manners, sit
ting before the fire with broad smile on
his countenance, and evidently suppressiug
outright laughter. "What is the matter
with you, boy?" quickly inquired the Col
onel, who was still excited from his corpo.
real exercise. After some hesitation aud
repeated questions of the Colonel, he mur.
INJURED in low voice, ssThat was not the
drummer you whipped; it was Sergeant
-, of Company F, who looks so much
like him" The Colonel now became en-.
ragged at Fred for not apprisiug him of the
mistake in time, and came very near chas-
tising the Teutonic youth; but his good
nature and heart now asserted their sway,
and forth he sailed from his tent in search
of the injured individual, to make repara-
ton. On turning the second avenue he
met the object of his search, grasped him
by the hand; ssrrologized in the most sincere
manner, and tbe weather being cold, invi-
ted him up to the tent and treated him to
an apple toddy. The appeased individual
departed, and Fred was again seen smiling
and staggering at the fire. This time the
Colonel waxed decidedly warm, and de-
manded peremptorily to be informed of the
cause of his unbecoming behavior and sus-
picious merriment, when Fred, bursting
out, said, "You. treated the drummer to
apple toddy, he looks SO much like the
Sergeant of company F you whipped while
ago." The sequel can easily be imagined.
Fred got something but it was not apple
toddy.

Follow THE RIGHT No matter who
you are, or what your lot, or where youlive,
you cannot afford to do that which is
wrong. The only way to obtain happiness
and pleasure for yourself, is to do the right
thing. You may not always nit the mark !;
but you should always aim for it, and with
every trial your skill will increase. Whetb-
er you are to be praised or blamed for it by
others; whether it will seemingly make you
richer or poorer, or whether DO other per-
aon than yourself know of your action;
still, always, and in all cases, do the right
thing. Your first lessons in the rule will
sometimes seem hard ones, but they will
grow easier and easier, until, finally, doing
the right thing will become habit, and to
do wrong will seem an impossibility.

Anecdote Of Gen. Grant and Bishop
General Polk,


A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com.
usercial tells the following plausible story
of bit of sharp practice between General
Grant and Reverend General Polk:
While the General was in command of
the post of Cairo, Bishop General Polk,
General Pillow and General Frank Cheat
ham, of the Confederate army, were at Col.
'umbus, Kentucky. Flags Of truce were Co.,
oasionally sent back and forth between the
two places, and the opposing Generals
we're generally present. After the conciu.
sion of business it was frequently the case
that wine would be brought forth, and toas's
drank at parting. On one occasion dener,
al Polk proposed toast which ne said all
could drink. Those present filed t6eir.gIas.
ses, apd he gave ''1o General Georgs
Washington" As he paused, purposely,
at the end of the name, the company COM
menced to drink, when he added, "the first
Rebel" General Grant had his glass near.
ly finished by that time, and it was no use
to stop but he exclaimed: 'That is scarcely
fair, General, but will be even with you
some day" The laugh, was Of course, some.
what against him, but the company parted
in good humor. Some two weeks afterward
another flag of truce was sent down tn Go
lumbus, General Grant accompanying it.
After business was over, the Confederate
General produced the wine, as usual, and
General Grant adroitly turned the conVer-
satiou into State rights, on which subject
Southerners always loved to dilate their
right being the alleged object for which
they claimed to be fighting. He allowed
them to proceed at considerable length
without attempting to refute anything, and
they were perhaps aattering themselves
with the idea that they were converting
him from the error of his ways. At length
he arose to go, and proposed toast at part
ing. Glasses were filled, and the General
rose and gave "Equal rights to all" He
then made pause, as General Polk had
done, and when all we're busily drinking, he
added, "white and black" The horror of
the chivalry at being iuveigled into drinking
such heretical toast may easily be imag'
ined, and they were rather disposed to feel
angry until General Grant remarked, ."Now,
General Polk, 1 think am even with you
for that rebel toast you made me drink at
our last conference" Quick to see and ap
preciate agood joke, the anger of the South:
erners was turned into laugh 1.-THE ex.

The Emperor NapOleon's Letter 10 MS
COusin.

NEW YORK, June l2-The following is
the letter of Emperor Napoleon to his
cousin:
MONSIEUR AND DEAR CoUsIN:-l can
not refrain from informing you OF the
painful impression l have experienced on
reading your speech at atAjaccio In ieaV-
inc you during my absence with the EN-
press and my son as Vice President OF the
Privv Counsel, | meant to give yon a
proof of my friendship and my confl-
dence. and / hoped that your presence,
vour conduct and your language would
testify TO the union which reigns IN our
family but the political programme which
vou place under the aegis of the Emper-
Or can ONLY serve the enemies of my Gov
ernment to judgments which | cannot
admit
You add sentiments of hatred which
belong no longer to our day To apply
the ideas of the empire to the present
time, it is necessary to have passed
through the stern trials of responsibility
and power, and besides are we fully ca
pahle, pigmies as we are, of approaching
ut its just value the grand historical fame
Of Napoleon! As in stanj'"G before a
colossal statue we are unable to view
the whole at once, we only see the side
which strikes our sight, hencethe incom-
pleteness Of the representation and the
divergence of opinions.
But what is clear to the eyes OF every
one is, that to prevent anarchy i'll mems
minds, that formidable enemy OF true
liberty, the Emperor had established,
first in his family, and afterwards in his
government, that severe discipline which
admitted hut one will and one action =
| cannot hencefOrth deviate from the
same rule of conduct
Monsieur and dear cousin, pray God
to have you in His holy keeping.
Signed NAPOLEON
Prince Napoleon lost no time in max
ing a reply to the Imperial censure: The
Princess was exclusively favored with the
document The Princes reply was as
follows:
IR:-In consequence of your Majes'
tvs letter of the 23d and publication IN
the Monitear of this morning, | resign
the Vice Presidency of the Universal
Exhibition of 1867.
Accept, Sir, the homage Of the pro
found and respectful attachment with
which am, of your Majesty's, the most
devoted cousin,
