ORANGE COURT HOUSE, VA FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 49,

on the would-be ghost, he was next ena-
bled to grope his way in the dark to-
ward that individual, whom he found
bending over black mass about the
size of man on the road.
AS the tiger pounces upon his prey,
the stranger leaped upon the STOPPING
figure before him, and bore it to the
ground.
Il arrest you in the Kings name,'
cried the stranger, grasping his priso-
ner by the throat and holding him
tight. Stir hand or foot until have
you properly secured and III send your
soul to eternlty.' s. pls
This was such an unexpected turn of
affairs that the would-be ghost could
hardly believe his own senses, and was
handcuffed and stripped of his dagger
and pistol before he found time to
speak. '

Ger of the King, at your service, on

innocent sheep to the slaughter, lies
in the road, killed by his fathers hand.
Two weeks later, at Bruchsale Prison,
in Badei., the landlord of the sign ofthe
Deer and the Ghost robber of the Black
Forest, who was the same identical per-
son, having been proven guilty of nu-
merous fiendish murders and artfully-
contrived robberies, committed at diff
ferent times in the Black Forest, paid
the penalty of his crimes by letting fall
his head from the executioner's axe

GAME TO TELL A PERSONS THOUGHTS.

Almost every boy and girl likes to
''puzzle" others with questions.
Here Is good one which our fathers
used to tell.
Ask some one to think of number,
but don't name it; double it multiply
by five and tell you the product, aud
you willtell him the number he thought
of. For instance let the number be
eight double, it will be sixteen null
tiply by five would give eighty (S0l.-
Always reject the last figures, and the
remaining ones will be the number
thought of. Ha,. .

Dyspepsia! Dyspepsia!

DR.. WIsHART:-I have been a constant suf-
erer with Dyspepsia for the last eighteen
years, during which time cannot say that
ever enjoyed a perfectly we'll day. There
were times when the symptoms were more
aggravated than at others, and then it seemed
it would be great relief to die. l had at all
times an unpleasant feeling in my head, but
latterly my suferings so much increased that
became almost unfit for business of any kind;
my mind was continually filed with gloomy
thoughts and forebodings, and if fIattempted to
change their current by reading, at once
sensation of icy coldness in connection
with a dead weight, as it were, rested upon
my brain also feeling of sickness would
occur at the stomach, and great pain to
my eyes, accompanied with which was the
continual fear of losing my reason. l also
experienced great lassitude, debility, and
nervousness, which made it difficult to walk
by day or sleep at night. became ayerse to
society, and disposed only to seclusion, and,
having tried the skill of a number of eminent
physicians of various schools, finally came to
the conclusion that, for this disease, at my
present age, forty. five years, there was no
cure in existence. But, through the interfer-
ence of Divine Providence, to whom devoutly
offer my thanks l at last found a sovereign
remedy in your Dyspepsia Pills and Tar Cor
dial, which seem to have eIectually removed
almost the last trace of my long list of all
ments and bad feelings, and in their place
health, pleasure, and oontentment are my
every day companions.

l, Elizabeth Branson, of Brandy wine, Del,
formerly of Old Chester, Del, do certify that
for one year and a half suffered everything

digest my food; If l ate even q cracker or
the smallest amount Of food, it would return

wander from place to place, but could not be
contented. felt that was doomed to hell,
and that there was no heaven for me, and was
often tempted to commit suicide. So near was
my whole nervous system destroyed, and so
my mind, from that awful complaint, Dyspep-
sia, that my friends thought best to have me
placed in DR.. Kirkbride's Hospital, at West
Philadelphia. ] remained there nine weeks,
and thought was little better, but in few
days my dreadful complaint was raging as bad
as ever. Hearing of the wonderful cures per-
formed by DR.. Wishart's Great American Dys
pepsia Pills and his treatment for Dyspepsia,
my husband called on DR.. Wishart and stated
my case to him. He said he had no doubt
be could cure me. So in three days after
called and placed myself under the Doctors
treatment, and in two weeks began to digest
my food, and felt that my disease was fast Civ
ing way, and continued to recover for about
three months, and at the present time enjoy
perfect health o. body and mind, and most
sincerely return my thanks to a merciful God
and DIR. Wishars, and to his Great American
Dyspepsia Pills and Pine Tree Tar Cordial,
that saved me from an insane asylum and a
premature grave. All persons suffering with
Dyspepsia are at liberty to call on me or write,

to you by law but in maintaining or assert
ing them, let it ever be with meekness and
gentleness. You may often by this conduct
so soften the hearts of others as to bring
about change in their behaviour toward
you, and may thus experience the fulilment
of the truth, p" When q mans ways please the
Lord, He maketh even his enemies to be at
peace with him." And should trials and
llisappointments still attend you, how
cheering is the assurance that All things
work together for good to them that love
God"
In conclusion. we would express our trust
that, through the blessing OF the Most High,
there is open to you, our colored brethren,
goodly prospect of an honorable citizenship
ON earth, and, if you are real Christians, and
seek to maintain the profession and practice
of genuine Christianity without wavcring,
the far brighter prospect of being in the end
icllow-citizcns with the saints, and members
of that glorious family above, of which God
Is the Father, and Christ the Lord and Sa-
viour. That this may be the blessed portion
of every one of you at the end OF this life, is
the sincere desire of those who now address
you. Farewell.

POPPING CORN.

And there they sat a popping corn,
John Stiles and Susan Cutter;
John Stiles was stout as any OK,
And Susan fat as butter.
And there they sat and shelled the corn,
And raked and stirred the fire,
And talked Of different kinds ofcars,
And hitchcd their chairs up higher,
Then Susan she the poper shook,
And John he shook the pepper
Till both their faces grew as red
As sauce-pans made of copper.
And then they shelled, and popped and ale,
All kinds Of fun a.poking.
And he haw-hawed ut her remarks,
An she laughed at his joking.
And still they popped, and still they ate,
(John's mouth was like hoppcr,)
And stirred the fire, and sprinkled salt,
And shook and shook the pepper.
The clock struck nine, the clock struck ten,
And still the corn kept popping;
1t struck eleven, and then struck twelve,
And still no signs OF stopping.
And John he ate, and Sue she thought
The corn did pop and patter,
Till John cried out, "the corn's fire!
Why Susan what's the matter?''
Said she, "John Stiles, its one o'clock,
You'll die of indigestion;
I'm sick of all this popping corn
Why don't you pop the question"
