Ar this season of the year, when so many Of
our people are suffering from colds we call at
tention TO AYERS CHERRY PEcToRAL as sure
cure not only for coughs and colds, but all affec-
tons of the lungs and throat. Having used it in
our family for many years, we can speak from
personal knowledge Of its efficiency. There may
be other remedies that are good, but in all our
experience this has proved to be by far the best
Its qualities are uniform and wholly reliable. 1t
is pleasant to take, and should be kept at com

beginning, but become affecting and dangerous if

WINTER,


He comes! The tariy Winter comes
I hear his footsteps through the Nights
hear his vanguard from the heights
March through the pines with muftied drums
His naked feet are on the mead,
The grass blades stifen in his path
No tear for child of Earth he hath,
No pity for her tender seed!
The bare oaks shudder at his breath;
A moment by the stream he stays
Its melody is mute glaze
Creeps DER its dimples, as OF death
From fettered stream and blackened moor,
The city's walls, he, silent, nears
The mansions of the Rich he fears
He storms the cabins of the Poor!
The curtained couch-the glowing hearth
The frost -rimed Grey beard power DEFY;
He curses as he hurries by
And strike. the Beggar, dead, to Earth
For every cleaning hall he spares,
A hundred hearthless novels hold
Hearts puIseless, crisped with ice and cold,
Watched by hundred grim Despairs!
The forests grow by his command
Who saith, He lendeth to the Lord
Who giveth to the Poor! Your hoard
Is His Ye-stewards of the land
Here is your Mission Ye who feed
Your lavish fires Not afar,
But at you, doors, your Heather are
Gods Poor-your creditors Take heed
The path is long to Pagan shores:
Their skies are sunny: God DER all
The Winters deadly harvest's fall
Around you! Deal your Masters stores

Extempore Preaching.

( After Newman Hall had finished his ad-
dress before the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION, at Springfield, he was waited upon
oy few theological students After the in
PRODUCTION he stepped forward and throwing
great earnestness into his face and voice, he
remarked, Il have word or two to say to
you. Learn to speak aotthOHt notes. [ hear
that good many-perhaps the most-of the
ministers In America contine themselves to
their manuscripts. That is abominable
One shouldn be under that sort of bondage
One ought of course to be able to write
sometimes follow closely from beginning to
end what is before me on paper. But for
minister to limit himself to that one method,
and never feel free to speak without having
the written words of elaborate preparation
under his eye, is terrible. No: you must
learn to speak without notes. Some think
they caunot do this. Let me tell you how [
did it.
"W hen I went to College, it seemed to
me L should never be able to say word in
public without writing. But | soon deter
mined that If | was going to be preacher,
aud particularly if [ wanted to be anything
like successful preacher, | must form the
habit OF extenporaneous address. Sc went
into my room, locked the door, placed the
Bible before me on q mantle, opened it at
random, and then on whatever passage my
eye chanced to rest, proceeded 10 deliver a
discourse of ten minutes. This practice was
kept up for an entire twelve months. Every
day. for whole year ten minutes were given
to that kind of speaking in my own room by
myself. At first found it very diGicult to
speak so long right to the point. Bu; then
if | couldn't talk on the subject I would talk
about it-making good remarks and moral
retiectlons-beng careful to keep Up the dow
and say something to the end OF the term
allotted for the exercise. At TIE end OF the
twelve months, however. found ! could not
only speak with good degree of hcency,
but that | could hold myself strictly to the
subject in hand Iou take this course.
Don't do your practising on an audience.
That is outrageous. No man ought for
moment to think of infctirg himself on an
assembly OF people, until he has gone through
course OF training, such as [ have indica-
ted, by himself But'you coa learn to speal,
without notes if you will try"

Nor PROTECTIvE.-Secr M'Culloch
declares that the existing ta riff has ceased
to be protective. Foreign merchandise flows
in as steadily as it would under what is face
tiously called a free trade tariff. This is one
of the main causes LOT the stagnation of do
nestle industry. Herein is found, moreover,
one Of the principal difficulties in the way
of a resumption of specie payments. As
fast as gold is mined and coined it is shipped
out of the country, to liquidate commercial
balances. If the tariff should be so altered
as to make yit really protective, with well
contrived sliding scale of duties, domestic
production would be quickened, the shipment
of coin stopped, and solid basis soon be
laid for return to specie payments. The
means of the masses of our people pot pay
would be enlarged, and their consumption
would rise somewhat in proportion to their
means. This would soon clear off accumu
lated stocks and create steady demand for
more.

DIsoBEDIENCE TO PARENTS "A young
man was lately sentenced to the penitentia-
ry for four years. When he was about to
be sentenced he stated publicly that his down
ward course began in disobedience to his pa
rents-that he thought he knew as much of
the world as his father did, and needed not
his aid or advice, but as soon as he turned
his back upon his home, then temptations
came around him, like droue Of hyenGs,
and hurried him on to ruin. There is no
place so safe and happy as a good home.

A CAUTIOUS JUDGE.-An Irish Judge

berry. To the astonishment of the court. as
we'll as of the prisoners themselves, they
we're found not guilty. As they were being
removed from the bar, the Judge, address
ing the jjailer, said: "Mr. Murphy, you
would greatly ease my mind if you would
keep those two respectable gentlemen until
seven or half past seven clock, for | mean
to set out for Dublin at five, and [ should
like to have at least two hours start of

GIFT ENTERPRISE Central Press of
Dec. 9th, says: While in New York short
time ago, we called at three different gift en-
terprise establishments We were request
ed to do so by three friends, each OF whom
was duly notified that their numbers had
drawn valuable prizes One Of tie tickets,
belonging to lady friend, was on Bank
ers and Merchants" concern, who publish
that all transactions of theirs are strictly
honest We presented the ticket, which
drew prize of two hundred dollars, and up
on which we were asked to pay FIVE per cent
we discovered before paying the $1,000, that
the prize consisted Of $4,000 worth of de-
funct oil stock We didn't pay the ten dol
lars, but vacated the premises quickly
The next ticket, belonging to 4 friend in
PHILADELPHIA was issue from the establish
ment of Wright, Bros. & Co., and drew a
watch valued at $1,000. We asked to ex-
anime the article. and found that we could
buy such stuff anywhere for ten dollars and
be swindled at the same time. We didn't
pay per cent--or $40, 0,00-any more than
on the first. The next was a ticket entitled
to fine set of gentlemen's jewelry. &c, in
Arandale's concern We called, presented
the ticket and asked leave to examine the
precious articles on which we were to pay
loo. The whole batch could have been
purchased elsewhere for Is cents. We left
it also in the hands of the honest gentlemen
to fool some one else There is not one CON-
Germ in.New York. we care not how strong
ly they may present their case for fairness,
In order to tempt peop:e from the country,
that is not perfect swindle from head to foot,
and none expect to realize dollar from any
one living in New York. but their operations
are principally in the country. We would
here caution our friends not to throw away
their money in this way. We examined
and investigated three distinct shops and
every one is aswindle.

to whom was promised the speedy second
advent Of Christ. They say that Christ did
re-appear after the destruction of Jerusa-
lem; when there was q judgment in the spir-
itual world, and the final kingdom in the
heavens began. They believe that they
are In direct communication with Christ and
the Resurrected Church in the angelic world
These things they say in literal, not igura-
tive sense. The marriage relation in this
community is wholly unknown. Instead,
there is a complex marriage. Each man is
the husband of every woman-each woman
the wife of every man. Husband and wife
have no meaning. For there are no we'd
GIng ceremonies, for there are 10 weddings
Nor are young persons mates. y young
man must mate with woman elder and
more experienced than he young woman
with man older and more experienced than
she. Love attachments for individuals are
contrary to their principles. Only twenty
four children have been born in ten years.
The women wear Boomers and short hair,
and enjoy equal privileges with the men.

HE NATIONAL BANKS. s.--According to
official report TIE Government, during the
last financial year, derived revenue to tie
amount of S5!5,084, $50 from the National
Banks. This does net come up to the re-
cent estimate OF Mr.. Jay Cooke, but it makes
an exhibit that is cveditable to the banks,
and ought to relieve them OF much of the
existing popular c!xmor The objection re-
mains that the banks 60 not pay State, coun-
ty aud municipal taxes; and this objection
is well taken. However, this must be said,
that this evil has always existed in our sys-
TEN. So long as the banks were State insti-
tutions they escaped most local levies, pay
ing only on real estate The same evil exists
in respect to railroad, canal and other i'm
provement companies. The principle is en-
tirely wrong, and the evi ought to be obvi-
ated, but this demand is as imperative in
one direction as another.

Tried and Found Wanting.

What are the Democrats doing, or what
| have they done for the good of the South ?
With all their loud professions of love and
sympathy all they have done for the South
ern States was to lead them into war and
then desert them. And to-day, what Dem
| ocrat is engaged in instructing the negroes
| or poor whites, and fitting them for the tre-
mendous responsibilities which have been
thrown upon them 10y the civil convusion of
the past six years? What Democrat in all
this land is helping one jot or title towards
reconstruction They will swear at Con-
gress, defend a Memphis or a New Orleans
mob, decry the Union officers, apologize for
Andrew johnson, fout and sneer at what is
deing done to elevate the colored race. or
help the whites by us, but not one iota will
they do themselves. The horrid traces of
war are being smoothed from the face OF the
land; peace Is returning and with it plenty,
order, and quiet; restoration is progressing,
the waste places are being rebuilt, and one
by one the lost stars reappear in the nation
al constellation, but no thanks for all this to
the Democracy. They have stood aloof
What more damaging Judgment could be
pronounced upon political party than this
record which they have made for themselves?
Is such party fit TO be entrusted with the
reins OF government? Is it a proper one to
administer the affairs of the nation? For
seven years the Democratic party has now
been but an opposition-a mere negation
1t has existed but as a protest against our
nationality What right has it to ask for
voice in the government of a country and
nation which lives only in spite of its syste-
matte and most determined efforts?
When will the South learn that, in tl is land,
her friends are the men Of action-the ad-
,--i--- r>...-.yr r~->e-.~-- . -l
see that the noisy professions of the Democ-
racy are but words, and treacherous ones at
that? Point us to a single school house in
Dixie built by Democratic funds; point us
to single teacher sent by Democratic inhu-
ence southwark to instruct the furnishing
people; point us to anything done, and we
will admit that the Democratic party has a
right to say something in this matter. But
until that can be done, as long as they are
by their own confessions, by word and deed
but an obstruction. we hold that they have
no part nor lot in the great work of recon-
struction, which is now the immediate and
distinctive mission of the Union Republican
parry. Trey have been tried in the balance
and found wanting.
