THE RHoPLH's REMEDY.

1t required many years of laborious research
into the properties Of herbs and roots before
Brandreth's Pulls arrived at their present state
of perfection. They take all impure and msrbid
accumulations from the bowels and tho blood.
Their use in sickness saves money, time, and
health. This noble medicine saves suffering, re-
stores health, and ptoiongs life. Those who
know their properties have the most unbounded
confidence in them. When attacked by ever so
serious disease, as Pleurisy, collie, sudden pros
tration, &c., when six or eight pills have been
swallowed, they are easy in their minds. And
they have cause, for Brsndreth's Pills are no
broken reed.
The Princess of Wales might have been cured
By few doses, and all her weeks of agony saved.

sHEp CORN.

Now is the time to select seed-corn
for next year. Every farmer should go
through his field and gather the largest
and earliest ears, just as the outside
husks have turned partly white. The
husks, except two or three for tying.
should be taken off and the ears tied in
pair or traced in strings and hung up to
dry in the shade.
A stout wire stretched in the garnet
of the house or other loft, is one of the
the best things to hang seed corn on, a.
it can be easily arranged so as to keep
off mice and rats.
Numerous experiments prove that
seed corn gathered as above directed
will germinato quicker than that select
ed at the time of harvesting, and the
crops will mature earlier. Some of the
improved varieties of corn have been
obtained by adopting this method of SCI
lecting seed for several years in success

Tan ru1URn OF THn aourH.

An article from the N. Y. World 10
introduced with the following remarks:
"rhere are fortunes to be made in the
South. Despite unsettled labor, impsir-
ed capital, and scant credit, industry
aourishes, even in the midst of political
agitations, after fashion which suggests
great results when these temporary dis
turbing causes arc withdrawn. With
almost, if not quito, all the natural ad-
vantages of the North in the way Of
mineral deposits, harbors, grain lands.
and water power, the South has pecu.
liarly mild climate and monopoly Of
cotton land. These possibilities Of
wealth have not escaped the exceeding
ly acute notice of some of our moncyed
men, and in reading the Southern pa
pers one comes every now and then Ola
some mention of an investment which
seems to indicate belief in Northera
financial circles of q not very distant re-
turn to peace. With a settlement OF
existing political difficulties, the value OF
Southern investment would at once ape
preciate, and as this settlement, when
it does come, will come at once, these
investments that are from time to tims
noticed, indicate that some Of our long
headed tinancicrs are specializing for %
rise. Land that can now be bought in
the South for from 81 to $40 would,
with q definite paciication of the Politi-
cal situation, 60 up to from So or 81 to
$50, $50, and $50; and, with this rise,
other property would gain proportion

"Your relations to the political party
at the North have very important bear
ing upon your fate, at all events just
now, and demand careful meditation.
Most of you, doubtless, regard the sue
cess ofthe Democratic party as essen
tial to your release from your present
situation, but it is my duty to remind
you that men in your position have no
right to be bigoted partisans; you must,
of course, feel deep interest in the
success of those who cspouse your cause:
and you may properly exert all inau-
ence to promote their success; but you
ought not to shut the door to aid from
any source. have already deprecated
an unreasonable and undistiagaishing
hostility to the Republican party. l

lutte and exclusive devotion to any par
ty. IF the Democracy succeed ii eject
ing their candidate, you will beasabject-
ed to temptations as trying as the de-
mand upon, your sufferance may prove
in case General Grant is chosen. Has
ty, ill-considered, passionate or violent
action in the event Of a Democratic sue
cess, would be almost sure in the end to
turn to your discontinue, and render
your last estate worse than the first; and
yet it will require good deal of self
command to control the reaction from
this depression. Bat the country in that
event will be so seriously divided and go
greatly excited, that small thing may
induce terrible catastrophe. On the
other hand, in case of General Grants
election, you will be called on to exer-
else while longer your patience and
forbearanee. am sure it will be re-
warded in the end. / do not believe
that General Grant is your enemy; /
feel sure he feels kindly towards you,
and will do justice, and show mercy in
his course to you; large majority Of
Republicans will help you if you will do
your best to help yourselves; great
majority of all at the North await to be
sure it is safe to take you cordially by
the hand once more. Bide then, your
time. In either event "possess your
souls in patience" Call to your aid
that greatest of all human qualities
self-centrol, and all will yet be WE'LL"
