The Lotus Planter.
by THEODORE TILToN.

A Brahmin on lotus pod
Once wrote the holy name of God.
Then, planting it, he asked in prayer
For some new fruit, unknown and fair.
slave near by, who bore load,
Fell fainting on the dusty road.
The Brahmin, plying, straightway ran
Ard lifted up the fallen man.
The deed scarce done, he looked aghast
At touching one beneath his caste.
"Behold ~ he cried, IT stand unclean;
Ny hands have clasped the vile and mean
God saw the shadow on his face,
And wrought miracle of grace.
The buried seed arose from death,
And bloomed and fr6ited at His breath.
The stalk bore up a leaf of green,
Whereon these mystic words were seen:
First count all r7s,I of equal caste,
Then count thyscy the least and last.
The Brahmin, with bewildered brain,
Beheld the will of God writ plain
Tran5fgured in sudden light,
The slave stood sacred in his sight.
Thenceforth within the Brahmin's mind
Abode good Will to all mankind.

SOME time ago The Rov. Mr.. Spurgeon
preached a sermon on the text-"And
Mary Wept." In the midst of stream of
earnest eloquence that drew tears from
many Cf those present, in describing
the character of the tears shed by Mary
over the feet of Jesus, he broke suddenly
off, and turning to his congregation, ex-
claimed "The tears which Mary shed
were not such tears as many of you pour
out when you come to this altar They
came from her heart-they were tears OF
b!ood-and not the poor stuff that you pre-
sent as an offering to an offended God p
Then, leaning over the pulpit, and look
ing earnestly in the sea of upturned faces,
he exclaimed "There are some of YOU
for whose tears I would not give a far
thing quart !"

SOME curious statistics have been cot
lected illustrating the risks of mercantile
life, from which it appears that in sin
gle department-lhat,of of dry goods-the
average rate of success within the last City
years has been as follows: Ninety mer-
chants in every hundred have failed fivo
in every hundred have made q living and
saved money, and one 10 a huRdred has
made fortune 1t will thus be seen that
the path to ultimate success in this direo-
ton is extremely hazardous.

Management. OF Sick Animals.

A correspondent of The Germantown
Telegraph is of the opinion that more
farm stock is lost or injured by hasty
and ill-advised attempts to counteract
real or supposed ailments, than by a
failure to administer anything for the
purpose of cure. He says: When your
animal has fever, all stimulating ar
ticles are to be avoided. Bleeding to
reduce the circulation, purging for re.
moving irritating substances from the
bowels, cooling drinks to allay thirst
and supply decreased secretiens; rest
and quiet to tone down the system. are
what common sense would seem to die
tate, and what nature would seem to
require. This is safer than to cram the
animal with multiplicityof cures, with
out regard to anything except the fact
that something is the matter. We trust
farmers and owners of animals will heed
the admonition here given.

that those ladies from other States who

committed her for ten days.

Editor Of the Register:
DEAR SIR Recent events have fully
shown the necessity of a thorough or
ganization of the Democratic party.
We have lost o State Senator in this
district for want of such an organization.
This disaster has determined the De-
mocracy of this county to organize at
once and for all time to come .55..i
Will you please give MS the Demo
cratic platform for our State at as early
a time as may suit your convenience, so
that in the formation of our county
platform we may act in harmony and
conceit. sta"
But, sir, in the midst of the loss afore-
said, Marion county has done nobly.
One of the nominees of the Radical
party, they say, has bolted; at any rate
he declares himself opposed to the OPP
pressive taxation now imposed upon us,
and also to those odious supporters of
Governor A. j. Boreman & Co., the reg
istration laws and test oaths. The
other nember, an Independent candi-
date, avowipg the same sentiments, in
duced us to elect them both, triumph
antly, and thus, to our very good COM
fort, we have defeated largely the Rad
ical candidate, the only and last hope of
Radicalism here, the kind Doctor, and
our last news is that he, the Doctor,
with Mr.. Boyd, pilot, was slowly, re-
]uctantly, but certainly, steering their
way up Salt River, where, perhaps,
they may meet host Of past acquaint-
ances on a like voyage from Ohio, Penn

An Important History.

THE following is taken from yester-
day mornings Intelliqencer:
Editors MtelHfeucer:
1t may not be uninteresting to many
of yOuI readers to know in what man.
ner come by the process which has
proved so successful in my hands in re-
moving cancerous growths. Some forty
five or fifty years ago my father had his
attention drawn to small tumor
which made itsfhppearance on the left
side of his face. Continuing to enlarge,
he concluded to consult physician,
who called it a cancer and advised him
not to disturb it, at least for time. A
short period afterwards it liberated,
very rapidly extending itself, melting
the tissues away like snow before the
MONDAY sun. Unwilling to allow the
disease to dissolve his life away with
out making some effort to check its on
ward course, he, during the next five
years, consulted all the most eminent
physicians in the United States, of
whom he had any knowledge,
but without avail. On his re-
turn homo for the last time
there was no relief for him but death,
he became acquainted with Doctor,
who lived somewhere in Ohio, from
whom he obtained recipe for making
q powder and an ointment, which the
Doctor averred would cure him. On his
arrival home, he procured the different
drugs named in the recipe, prepared the
medicines, and applied them according
to the directions, with but the least
particle of faith in their efficacy. Con-
tinuing their application, carefully
watching their effect, until at last he
noticed a change in the disease for the
better, when hope frightened, and life
began to wear q new aspect. At the ex-
piration of three months from the time
he began the application, and after he
had tried every physician of eminence,
and spending over five thousand dollars,
and wasting five years of precious time,
and after the disease had nearly de-
stroyed the one side Of his face, this
method of treatment cured him.
Frem this time until his death he treat
ed all who applied, making no distinc-
tion between rich and poor, where there
was possible chance of curing; never
failing in one case he had undertaken.
There are many living witnesses who
will testify, from their own experience,
to the success of this process. Since his
death, sixteen years ago, / have used
it in hundreds of cases without single
failure. To satisfy the more incredu-
lous, whom we cannot blame for their
want of faith in any process for the cure
of this most formidable and distressing
disease, when the medical profession
assures them that there is no remedy
that will remove it, I will publish the
names and address of q few of the most
prominent men, whom, or some member
of whose family, 1 cured, with whom
would be pleased to have them corres-
pond. Yours, respectfully,
JOHN REYNOLDS.

Communicated
To The Tax.Payers Of Richland
Township

The Treasurer of Richland Township,
Ohio county, W. Va, upon receiving the
Assessors list of school taxes, posted
written notices as to the times and
places he would receive the same.
When the dates arrived, there was
hardly the tenth man in the township
that knew anything about the time or
places of meeting. Only about hun
dred dollars were collected, after which
q penalty of five per centum was added.
The Board of Education believing that
it was unjust to add two hundred dol
lars more to the high taxes, and that
they had jurisdiction in the case, held a
meeting on the last named date in the
Treasurer's notice (September 27), and
extended the time OF collecting the
taxes till the 1st of November, 1867.
The Treasurer refused to receive the
taxes without an additional five per
centum. ..
The Board met on October 29th, 1867,
and extended the time for paying the
taxes, without additions, until the 10th
of December, 1867.
A similar case occurred in Brooke
county. Some of the officials referred
the case to the Attorney General of the
State, who decided that the Board OF
Education had full jurisdiction.
Persons applying to pay their taxes
will please notify the Board of Educa-
tion if any additions are made to their
bills. SAM'L McCoLLocH,

If you wish to be agreeable in society,
be the person with whom you are thrown
old, young, single, married, young Ia
dies or old men, whatever grade, opin-
ion or profession-there is one sure way
of doing it-by flattery.
Some can swallow a strong dose, 9TH
ers may prefer it in a diluted form, but
all have taste for it: all like it in
some form or other, and there is moth
ing more calculated to give one pleas
ure and increase ones popularity than
to indulge people in this way. But
flattery is always used at the expense of
manhood, self-respect, truth. 1t is one
of the smallest ways of lying. 1t makes
the heart hollow-it poisons the soul.

Letters from the People.
Party Changes.


Editor of the Register:
The United States has ever been
tickle in the extreme, from a political
point of view. 1t is a strong party in-
deed that can stand the ordeal Of pub
lie opinion for a longer period than a
generation. The Old Line Wings, at the
time of their greatest prosperity, had q
platform of colossal strength. But time
with its inexorabe march instituted
new political ideas, and the public
mind became dissatisfied with its obso-
lete notions and old fogy principles. Its
rise, progress and downfall were
witnessed by single generation.
The liberal views and progress
sive spirit of the Democratic
party next took firm hold on the affec-
tions of the American people. Under
its soInd principles and wise adminis'
tration the Government grew in
strength and dominion, until the un-
fortunate year of 1860 beheld division
in the Democratic ranks, and the advent
of a comparatively new party, falsely
calling themselves Republican, but
composed originally of New England
fanatics and expounders of schisms.
This new party grew in strength and
power by treacherOusly taking advan-
tage of intestine strife to influence the
minds of the people of the North against
those of the South. Born amid tumult
and bloodshed it let no opportunity pass
of applying the hrebrand of sectional
animOsity indiscrimiDately to all parts
of our once peaceful and happy conn
try. Its despOtic sway through its
countless hordes of political satraps,
has convinced the people of its evil ten

years, and 10! its days are numbered

there IS such thing) of our largest and
