NV. PoLAND's
HUMOR DOCTOR.
A Positive Remedy for all kinds Of Humors,
PARTICULARLY
ErysipeIas, NettIe-Rash, salt Rheum,
scrofuIa. CarbuncIes, BoiIs and Piles.
1t is very easy to say of this. or of any othcI
medicine. 1T is the very best remedy known.
1t is not always so easy TO prove ii. 1t is. how.
ever. exceedingly gratifying TO the Proprieto,
of this medicine. that, while he declares to the
public that this is mcst wonderful and effective
specific fOr HumOrs as stated above, he has
abundant proof at hand to sustain his statement.
For sixteen years the IIrNoR DocroR has been
manufactured and sold. and every year has
increased the value of its se1,utation and the
amount of it. sales. In New Hampshire, where il
originated. no remedy for humors is 60 highly
priced. An eminent physician NOW an army surg
eOn) when practising in New Hampshire. purcfl-
ased between fifty and sixty gallons ofit during
some seven eight years, and used it in his prac-
tce. lie has since then ordered il for the hospital
where he was stationed. Other physicians have
purchased it. and have used it in practice with
great success. When the Proprietor lived in New
Hampshire. at Gofstown Centre. for the space Of
thirty or forty miles around and in Manehest.T
particularly. the llUMOR DOcToR was well known
and highly valued for the numerous and wonder
full cures which il effected. Though manufactured
in largo quantities the supply was frequently
exhausted. and purchasers. had to wait for more
to be made. In that region some very severe eases
Of Erysipelas were treated with it and they were

RING THE BELL SOFTLY.

RING THE BELL SOFTLY.
Some one has gone from the strange world of
ours,
No more to gather the thorns with the flowers;
No more to linger where sunbeams must fade;
Where. en- all beauty, Deaths fingers are laid;
Weary with mingling life's bitter and sweet,
Weary with parting and never to meet;
Some one has gone to the bright golden shore.
Ring tie bell so fly, there's Grape on the door!
Some one is resting from sorrow and sin,
Happy where earth's conflicts enter not in;
Joyous as birds, when the morning is bright,
When the sweet sunb eams have brought Us
their light;
Weary with sowing and never to reap.
Weary with labor and welcoming sleep
Som ones departed to Heavens bright shore.
Ring the bell softly. there's Grape on the door!
Angels are anxiously longing to meet
One who walks with them iu Heavens bright
street;
Loved ones have whispered that some one is
blest;
Free from earth's trials, and taking sweet rest.
Yes. there is one more in angelic bliss
One less 10 cherish and one less to kiss;
One more departed to Heavens bright shore.
Ring the bell softly, there's Grape on the door

the old Board could no where be found, and
the new Ticket was not put before the meet,
ing for the reason that it stood not the shad-

FOR SHERIFF,
S. E. GRIFFITH.
Subject to the decision Off nominating Convention
FOR SHERIFF,
Ridiculous,

a few democratic journals have the inso-
lence to assert that Gen. Sherman will ac-
cept the nomination for the Presidency on
their platform. His address delivered a few
days ago before the champions Of the Union
assembled at St. Louis, will most certainly
convince them that the " great raider med
itates no design of deserving the cause of
the country and joining the democratic party.
We have seen nothing in Gen. Sherman's
course, either as a military commander or
any remarks from him of a political bearing
TO induce such a belief. Gen. Sherman is
perfectly obnoxious to the opposition. They
hate him more intensely than they do Gen.
Butler, for the reason that he has done them
much more injury. Their insignificant sue
ctsses aehe.Yed on local issues in the recent
elections, We sincerely, hope, will have the
effect Of increasing their confidence to a de.
gree that will prompt them to put forth a
platform strictly embodying JohRsOn's policy,
and of running a candidate who will endorse
1t in every particular. The coming Presi-
Dental contest will be decisive. In the event
OF a Democratic triumph, the rebellion will
be revived, and all previous sacrifices in be-
half Of the country will be sold for naught.
Traitors VIII be restored to power, and We
will be visited BY a Concurrence of fatalities
the equal Of which the history of the world
can not exhibit. If the Republican party
succeeds, the Rnal victory over treason is
achieved. 1t will De extirpated "root and
branch from she body polite, and there
will be a rapid and permanent progress in
all the elements Of rational greatness and
power.
Gen. Sherman Is a man Of sagacity and
principle, and both these win corstrain BIN
from lending himself to the worE Of building
up a political organization, whose heretical
theories and incendiary teachings caused
to buckle on the armor Of warfare and
endure the hardsbips and dangers Of a SOL
dier's life. He will not join a party whose
success would dim the lustre of his military
achievements and obscure the halo of glory
that enwreathes his name. The Democracy
will have to go somewhere else than to the
ranks Of Union heroes for a chienain to car
ry their banner in the contest of 90. VAL
hndigham is the man for the opposition
lie is a most malignant hatsr of republican
ideas, and has an uublemished record for
d~isloyalty.

growing interest on this subject, We have
high and animating hopes for the future
The people will soon see the great need Of

the happy period when order shall take the
place of confusion.
Education is more than mere book learn-
ing but books are indispensable helps in
obtaining it, for in them we find the expert
Gnce and wisdom of the past. Exchanging
ideas on subjects is always pro6table-it
leads to investigation, We, as a people,
read but little, and, consequently, possess
but very little general knowledge. Igaof-
ance on general subjects prevails to an
alarming extent. The common people de-.
mand education. The poor are perishing for
want of it. Among the masses is found the
talent. Working men come from the COM
mon people. If We build up schools, we
shall promote the interest, welfare and hap
piness of the masses and thereby throw
around the citadel of liberty an impregna-
BILE bulwark. The common people saved
our country, they till the land, they drive
the plane, they cut the canal, they build up
or tear down the resources Of Il c0untry-
"u"N"'0 ut' 'ue ShlluTeu III tue lHnu' lgnOr-
ance breeds crime and discord but knowl-
edge brings in its train peace and happiness.
We hope that The exploded ideas of the past
may be forever buried in the deed-dark
grave of oblivion, and that the teacher may
catch the spirit of the age and stamp improve
ment gu the mind of the youth. The pen is
mightier than the sword. The teacher Yields
