a Great Spring and Summer
INVIGORATOR AND RESTORER

NOW is THE TIME TO CLEANSE OUT
IN those rERILOUS SPOTS. Pimples.
corrupt sores, which POLLUTE the LIFE
of the BLOOD, and render your body
loathesome thing. They are the precur-
sors of diseased blood, and will assume
to go on unchecked. The QUEENS DE-
LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that
has ever been invented, as thousands will
to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as
a positive remedy for all diseases flowing
from yitiated condition Of the system.
THE LIFE OF THE FLESH is PURE
BLOOD. Upon this theory alone the in
yentor of the Queens Delight establishes
the great hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE
BLOOD NO FLESH Is FREE FROM DIS
EASE. The Pale and Shrunken Forms,
Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased
Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of
Headache, 80 common i'll this country, is
owing entirely to the humors of the blood.
Very many other diseases may be traced to
bad blood, Scrofula or Kings Evil, Erysi-
pelas, Exauthema or Elevure, q rash or
Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy-
philitic Sores, Strumous Ulcers, &c.
These cannot be cured without purifying
the blood. Now as to the remedy. There
is no other blood purifier that will accom-.
plish such positive and extraordinary cures
as Heinitsh's Queens Delight. You may
take barrel OF extract Sarsaparilla, and
still you will not be cured; and, as proof
of it, look around and you will observe the
country, throughout its length and
breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa-
parillas, extracts and syrups, claiming to
be blood purifiers, and yet we see to-day
more evidence of impurity of the blood
than ever. Why is this? Simply because
these extracts and Sarsaparillas are WORTH
less medicines.
The Queens Delight is new compound,
and is now the great blood medicine; sane
toned by the profession, patroniZed by the
highest dignitaries OF the land, endorsed
by everybody.
In the brief period of twelve months,
over 3, 900 cases have been treated so sue
cessfully as to entitle it to be the wonder
of the age.
For debility, prostration, nervousness,
mental depression, impaired digestion,
loss OF appetite, rcstlesness, want of vital
force. Low Spirits it is more invigorat-
ing and strengthening than all the COM
pounds of bark or bitters. AS liver
invigorator, it is OF inestimable value. AS
a stimulant, it is safer and surcr than all
and II you value your life and health a
pms fee, avoid these quckening stimu-
lants to tho grave and use the Queens
Delight. Ask for Heinitsh's Queens De-
light. This is not the Extract of Stellin-
gia or Queens Delight, nor is it Com
pound Syrup OF Queens Delight, or Sarsa-
parilla and Queens Delight, but simply
Helnltsh's Queens Delight is the trade
mark. Ask for this if you want to be
cured, and see that the name of E. H.
Helnltsh is on the wrapper. Prepared only

A good story is told of an Ameri-
can merchant, who, q few Sundays
since, went into fashionable Lon
don church, a few minutes after the
service had commenced, and stood in
the aisle. The pew-opener passed
him several times, and took no notice
of him. They show more respect to
a stranger in American churches, so
he determined to give them n lesson.
Seeing that there was plenty of room
in several pews, but that the pew
opener passed him, again and again,
without offering him q seat, he quiet
ly spread open his coat-tails and
squatted down on the neatly-matted
aisle. The clergyman noticed him,
and looked at the pew-opener, who
at once went to him and offered him
a seat. "No, thank you," he whis-
pered, 81 am quite comfortable, and
shall sit here all the service"

that man@uvring. Miss Roland laid
q desperate siege to the rocky citadel
OF your heart, but I thought you
disliked her."
"You were right" he replied;
stshe was indescribably repellant to
me-" gF
4 "Then, why"
"Why did I never marry anybody
else? Well, listen, Lizzie, and I'll
tell you. I was once in love with
one of the sweetest girls, believe,
that ever walked this earth. It was
when I was staying at Brighton; she,
too, was spending the winter.there.
At first, 1 thought she encouraged
my suit, but all at once she grew cold
and distant. I determined, at all
hazards, to know my fate, for I felt
how wretched life would be without
her. But the very evening that I
had resolved to submit my suit to
her-we were both invited to party
at Miss Roland's-I learned that she
had left the town. Miss Roland told
me, not in direct words, of course,
but as delicately as possible, that it
was to avoid my continuous atten-
TONS"
"And did you credit this?" asked
Mrs. Jay.
"Of course" he replied; "Miss
Roland was one of her most intimate
friends. I left Brighton the next
day, and then and there ended all of
love that it will ever be my fate to
know"
as he ceased speaking, servant
came in. eff you please, ma'am,
lady is below, who says she has come
to apply for the situation of COVER
ness. Shall I show her up?"
Mrs. Jay assented, and the next
moment Amy Ardenham entered the
room.
fYou seem very young" was one
OF the first remarks Mrs. Jay made.
'I am eighteen. ma'am," said
Amy, quietly.
Frank Ashley, who had been read
ing the newspaper, glanced quickly
up at the tone of her voice, and rose
to his feet. At the same instant,
Amy's eye met his, and she grew
deadly pale.
"Amyp' he exclaimed-'Miss Ar
denhamP
But Amy had tainted.
An hour later, Frank Ashley was
an accepted lover, and the young
lady who had promised "to take
charge of him. was our little Amy.
'"Tell me about it, Frank" said
his sister, when, at length, he re-
turned from accompanying Amy to
her humble tenement-a spot which
would soon cease to be home.
"We have both been the victims
of misrepresentation, Lizzie" said
Frank; "Miss Roland assured Amy
that 1 was engaged to her. What
could Amy do but withdraw"
"Then she loved you all the time?"
asked Mrs. Jay.
$50 she says" said her brother.
"And, instead of my finding a 60
verness, you obtain wife!" laughed
Mrs. Jay. ooh, Frank, I am very
glad!"

TO ADMINISTRATORS.

The law of Tennessee requires Admins
traitors to publish insolvent notices in a
newspaper A written notice carries out
neither the spirit or letter of law, but it does
no injustice to all Interested parties an1 lays
the Administrator liable for damages to all
who are losers by his non-eonformity with
the law. We quote from the code of Ten
nessee, section 2, $50:
The Clerk (of the t'ounty Court
shall make an order upon the executor or
administrator, to give notice by advertise
ment In some newspaper published within
the State, and also at the court house door Of
the county, for all persons having claims
against said estate to appear and file the
same, authenticated in the manner pre-
scribed by law, on or against day to be
fixed in such notice. which shall not be less
than three nor more than six months after
the date of notice; and any claim not fled
on or before the day fixed, or before an ap-
preparation Of the funds of the State is
made shall be forever barred bota in law

Ruin and Destruction 0f Ten States


In the debate on the Southern land bin in
the House, February 5, Hon. Charles A
Eldridge. of Wisconsin, made the following
remarks aa TIE tsin and destruction of ten
States by Radical legislation
Sir, the people Of the North and South
have been alienated and eu5ittered toward
each nther hy war, and these and all such
measures are calculated to continue and per-
petuate Che same state of things The greatest
want the greatest necessity Of the country,
the all-absorbing CRY and pray of allpatfstie
men, are for peace and fraternity again -
this land; the furnishing and starving thou
sands, the crippled and burdened interests,
the confused and embarrassed fnancest can
never be relieved but by the full and com
plete restoration of peace and friendship
between the sections. This bill is calculated
to have just opposite effect Inand of itself,
so far as the value Of the material interests
it IS calculated directly to affect is concerned,
it is of little consequence, But its moral
consequences are zgreater. IL speaks to the
dOwn.trodden and broken spirited people Of
these States IN voice not to be
mistaken, the malignant feeling, the reyenCe
ful passion cherished toward them. It tells
them the war is not Overj that the conqueror
Is not yet satisfied; that submission has not
brought peace that they have only bowed I
their necks to the foot of the oppressor; that
victory was not all that was sought; that lit
is not restoration that more blood is de-
manded that submission was destruction,
and restoration is the overthrow of civil
government aRd the establishment Of mill i
tary despotism.
Sir, 1t is not that these lands arc needed
for homesteads that She States are to be de-
prived Of them Lands are Of DO conse-
quence, of no value in the South without
peace Plantations and farms with large
Improvements, and once Of great value, can
be bought there for a song almost. They
can be rented and cultivated for the taxes
alone. Millions of acres are now subject to
the homestead law Good lands as there
are in the world can be had almost for moth
ing-for the occupation. This bill is the
carrying out of plan, q systematic and de-
termined policy of ruin aud destruction To |
the white people of the Southern States. 1t I
is the execution of purpose to overthrow /
and break down the material and property /
interests of the white men, and subject |
them and all the vast interests of those !
States and people to the supremacy
and domination of the African. The devil |
himself could hardly be more Internally /
energetic and ingenious, or more successful
in inventing the means Of torture 10 his own !
dominions than are those who are now ad |
ministering upon the estates and interests Of /
these States in seeking their r-humiliatiOn-and I
debasement Everything is done to-destrOy, |
nothing to build up everything to ALLEVIATE |
and embitter, nothing to soften asperities or !
restore amitY and fraternity.

Dreadful Dcoth-At ST. Louis, on the
evening of the 9th ult, Mr. Benz
Wigginhorm, chief engineer Of the Missis-
sippi Planning Mil, was killed under the fol-
lowing circumstances.
He was passing around the end Of line
or shafting, when his coat was caught by the
reyolving wheel and he was instantly fastened
to and whirled abont it with swift velocity
The room was then dark, but bis screams
brought help and lights, dlhurriedly the
engine was stopped, and the mangled victim
was picked up. His coat, shirt and boots
had been torn of, leaving only his panta-
looms on his person. Both his arms and bis
left ankle were broken, his back was dread
fully crushed and lacerated and he was suf-
fering from extensive interel bemorrhage.
BE lived two hours after the catastrophe,
and leaves a wife, five children, mother and
two sisters to mourn the bereavment
