THE WAYS OF THE WORLD.

Who can account for the apparent Inconsistencies every, day happening among and around us? We live in what is termed an enlightened, civil ized and christian communityy in the midst of facilities and improvements superior to any age of the world, un- der the broad disc of the saR of erudi- tion, with tho .hallowcd influences of the gospel of peace and Charity show cred upon us and ssdisseminated in eve- " ayenue.; yet, how strange, if aught in the imperfection of human reason can seem strange, is the fact that so many preach and so many practice the precepts of, the book they plofess to revere. LEk at the Church, or the various communities styling them selves christians, protesting to be the disciples of the meek and lowly Naza- rine--thc practical teacher of benevo- lcnce, forgiveness and charity; who taught that filthy enemy smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the left, to do good for evil, to love thy enemy, to forgive Chose that maltreat you, te visit the widow and the orphan in their af- f1ictions, and all the other noble traits that spring from charity. But how do we find itnow of days in the "so called" Church or out of it? whois there that cannot answer it? We have the form, the ceremonial pomp, the studied rou- tine of Pharasee, with a fearful want of the vital spiritual substance, of which it is but the empty mockery. But apart from the Church we have or. ganizations protesting brotherly love and charity the members of which profess to be bound together by the silken cord of love and fellowship, with Faith, Hope and Charity as a ladder reaching to the celestial abode, where good men are to meet. And how is it with these? But few days ago, a member of the time-honored institu- tion called masonry, worn and emaci- ated by that slow, but sure destroyer, called the consumption, died in our town almost alone, at the house of Q good Samaritan widow, in the midst of his fellows and laborers of his or der; and did they visit him in his last trying, suffering hours? did they when called or summoned to put his corpse in Saercoffin and quietly follow his re- mains to the place where dust was to mingle with dust, promptly, willingly respond and then practice what they preach? One member of that order of which he had been associated for. fif- teen years attended him to his resting place. Have these things no meaning ? has the once benevolent order of free masonry become as sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal? We hope not.

 DR.

After military service of thirteen months, embracing the Pea Ridge campaign and battle, was discharged from the service and came home to die. Dyspepsia, liver complaint, and general debility were fast hurrying me to the grave, and every remedy prescribed by physi- clans seemed only to aggrayate my diseases. About four weeks ago 1 was fortunate enough to procure your ''Cedron Bitters." and by the use of them alone have been restored to per feet and robust health.- I can most earnestly recommend them as being all, and more than all, than they are represented to be. You are at liberty to make any use you wish of this Statement. t-

SOMETHING NIcE.-We were the recipient a few days since, of bottle of excellent blackberry wine. And when we say excel lent we mean it. It came from the Drug factured by these gentlemen, aEd is entirely free from the poisonous drugs that go to make up the wines that are being used throughout the country. Now thst there is so much need of wholesome wine in cases of sickness, it is quite necessary to have a pure article. We would advise all who want a first rate article of pure blackberry wine, to go to Johnson & Davis and get it.
