Snch teachers, l know, are not

There can be no estimate of the

scores of our best teachers in

less desirable calfings. The

the other way.
Again, you must cooperate
with your teachers in all their
school labor-be it instruction,
government, anxiety-there is
much Of this in the teachers

could never have been obtained, except by the
display of great skill and learning in his profess

Doctors practice is, that he will not attempt an
incurable disease for the sake of fee, but frankly
tells the patient whether he can be cured or not
We cheerfuliy recommend DR.. Gardner to the
attention of all our friends who may be suffering
from diseases of the eye or ear''
The Richmond Times says: ave have no hes
itation in saying that DR.. Gardner is the most
scientific and successful eye and ear Surgeon in
this country"

wonderful "-Richnaond Enquirer.
"We feel justified in recommending Doctor
Gardner to those suffering from diseases of the

"We can safely and cordially recommend DR..
Gardner, who will fulfill all he undertakes to per-
form."-Baltimore Clipper.
The New Orleans True Delta says: owe can
safely recommend DR.. Gardner as successful

The Wheeling Register says: CDR. Gardner is

particular class of journals-attributed to the
negro. Such outrages cannot possibly be much
longer connived at, even by those who have
recently been honored with vote of loyalty by
General Assembly.
There is as much difference between a black
man and a bldcketed man there is between a
negro and white man, Dadugre which the cur
rent newspaper report OF the Croatan murder was
that it was done by negroes. The horrible out
rage perpetrated on Mrs. Miller, of Greene coun-
ty, was first committed by white man, in pres
ence of the lady's old mother and then tits said,
a negro (?) followed suit! The devil is black; a
negro is black, therefore negro is the devil,
seems to be the logic used; but "the devil is
sometimes belied," and so, of course, is some
times the negro. There is rumor also current
of a negro and white mans having been arres-

To the Debilitated and the Decrepid.
For general debility and exhaustation of the
powers of nature, whether occasioned by sick
ness, fast living, constitutional decay, old age
any other physical or mental cause, the one thing
needful and Indispensable is HOSTETTER'S
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS When
the fire of life to be absolutely dying out in
the system, and the mind, sympathzing with the
body, is reduced almost to state of imbecility,
this mighty Restorative seems as it were, to lift
the sufferer out of the Slough of Despond, and re-
cruit and reinvigorate both the frame and the
intellect. An old farmer in the Valley of the
Monongahea writes thus to DR.. Hostetter: I"
can compare the operation of your Bitters upon
me to nothing but the effect of rain after long
dry spell in the fall Of the year. The rain falling
on the meadows starts the second crop of grass,
and your wholesome medicine seems to have
started second crop of life and spirits in me-"
And this is truly the effect of this grateful and
powerful preparation Ladies of weak constitu-
ton, or whose strength has been impaired by
sickness of age, find it most efficacious and de-
lightful Tonic, and it is administered with great
success in marasmus or wasting of the flesh, to
young children. In fact, it is a much safer and
surer cordial for the nursery than anything adj
vertised specially for that purpose.

The Cotton CrOD.

The New Orleans Times makes the following
estimate of the crop:
"Our commercial friends in the North are now
beginning to arrive at the unpleasant conclusion
that they have deceived themselves by false esti-
mates of the extent of our cotton CROP and the
result is becoming painfully apparent in their
deranged monetary system. Considering the
shortness of the crop, the facilities for transpor
taton, and the promptings of necessity under
which the planters have been obliged to rush their
products into market, we think it is fair to pre-
sumo that half of the crop has already been re-
cerdd. If this be the case, our crop will not ex-
coed 1000 900 bales, for, up to the present date
at tide-water in all the ports of this country. It
is possible that the total droduct may reach
600 bales, and dealers the other side of the
Atlantic will be greatly deceived if they look for
larger figures. As soon as the true state of the
crop is fully known the prices must advance, aud
every planter and factor that can possibly do so
should refuse to sell at present prices"

REASON WHY THE
A ERICAN WATCH

Made at WALTHAM, MASSA CHUSETTS,
THE BEST.
It is made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed of SOLID PLATES. Nor jar can in
terfere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Gtself
famous for its novelty, well for its effective
messy and is therefore properly made. The watch
is what all mechanism should INACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept some high grades too costly for general use,
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
boys. Such watches composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together,
and require constant repairs to keep them i'll any
kind of order. All persons who have carried
"ancres'' "lepines'' and "English Patent Lee
vers,' are perfectly we'll aware of the truth of
this statement
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make
thoroughly gooa low priced watch for the mill
ion, to take the place os these foreign imposi-
tions the refuse of foreign factories, which were
entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere.
iIow well we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that so many years of
public trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that no others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partmcnt of our business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work, are at pre-
sent engaged in the manufacture of watches of
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, unequaled by anything hither-
to made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by any
thing made in the world. For this purpose we
have the amplest facilities We have erected an
branch of our business, and have filled it with the
best workmen in service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
exactness. The choicest and most approved ma
terials only used, and we challenge compari-
son between this grade of work and the finest
imported chronometers. We do not pretend to
sell our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign
Watches but do assert without fear of contra |
diceion that for the SAME MONEY our product is |
incomparably superior. All our watches, of what
ever grade, are fully warranted, and this warran
tee is good at all times against us or our agents
in all parts of the world.
CAUTION.-The public are cautioned to buy |
only of responsible dealers. ALI persons selling |
counterfeits will be prosecuted.

NORII,ITY.

NOblLIIY "
WHO counts himself as nobly born
Is noble in despite of place,
And honors are but bands to one
Who wears them not with natures grace.
The prince may sit with clown or churl,
Nor feel his state disgraced thereby
But he who has but small esteem
Husbands that little carefully.
Then be thou peasant, be thou peer,
Count it still more than art thy own
Stand on a larger heraldry
Than that of nation or of zone.
What though not bid to knightly halls ?
Those halls have missed a courtly guest
That mansion is not privileged
Which is not open to the best.
Give honor due when custom asks,
Nor wrangle for the lesser claim;
1t is not to be destitute,
To have the thing without the name.
Then, dost thou come of noble blood,
Disgrace not thy good company
If lowly born, so bear thyselt
That gentle blood may come of thee.
