A Remarkable Work.
UNITED STATES IN PROPHECY.

The following is from the Montgomc-
ry (Ala.) Advertiser, of June &c:
We have had the pleasure of examin-
ing the manuscript of a most remarka-
bic production. For originality, con-
ception and application of thought and
deep research, it may we'll contest a
parallel.
The author states that in the begin
ming or the late civil war in the United
States, he conceived the idea that as
God had placed in prophecy wars and
commissions in such small countries as
Persia and Grecia, no would he moro
likely to place in prophecy such con-
WILSON'S as were occurring upon this
Continent, calculated as they were in
their nature to affect not only this
country, but the entire world.
Proceeding upon this idea as basis
for his investigations and observations,
lie processes to have found the whole
matter evolved by the prophetic pen
in the eleventh chapter of Daniel, com
mencing with the fifth and ending with
the forty-ffth verse.
He finds the parties in the contest
taking their rise upon the continent ac-
cording to the prophecy nearly two
centuries prior to tho revolution of
l776. Substantiating bis position by
incontrovertiblo historical facts, he
traces step by step, with precision
rarely, if ever equaled, every point in
the prophecy, which he shows has been
fulfilled, and is now in course Of fulfill
ment in this country.
And if his theory be correct we are
now entering upon the last grand
drama of the contest In which we may
expect events of the most stirring
character to transpire.
In word, he holds the prophecy
points out another mighty revolution,
and an entire change of government
at no distant day, upon this Cont
nent.
The past and present patent histori
cal facts educated to confirm the pro-
phccy are truly wonderful and astound.
ing, and places the United States in {
moro conspicuous light before til,
world than we have been wont to con
cede.
At the Auditor is now in our city
perfccting arrangements for the earl.
and immediate publication of his work
we may bespeak the further attention
of our readers to it, in the language 0
an ex-Judge of the Supreme Court o
T Alabama as expressed in a letter t,
the author. Ho says: "Your view
are clearly and ably presented, and
: not correct, they hevo the merit. a

plausible and suggestive OF matter

Texas Tonic Syrup J!
yeoetable Compound for the Rapid and
Permanent Cure OF
CHILLs AND FEVER, or FEVER
AND AGUEI
MISCELLANEOUS.
Every Poison has it AntidOte! Every
Disease has its Cure

1yHE PEOPLE OF THE MISSISSIPPI
Valley have long felt the necessity
for. and want of, safe, certain and rclia-
HE remedy, as a substitute for Quinlne,
Strychniue, and other poisonous Drugs, for
the cure Of Fever aud Ague, OR Cbills and
Foyer. We claim, and the result will
show, and bear testimony to every UMPIRE
;pdieed mind. that the Texas Tonic Syrup
has supplied this want and accomplished
this, purpose. Its Tonic, Alternative and
Antiseptic qualities are such that none can
possibly be disappointed in its effects
Upon its own merits, therefore, 1T Is sIs-
tanned. A single trial is all that is needed
to stamp this remedy as the greatest spec
itc of the ge.
The ineredments of which this Medicine
is composed are simple productions of ma
ture Astounding upon certain streams III
the State of Texas, and were ever used by
the ;thorigines of that State as Il specific
for Frvers of all kinds, and especially Fe-
yer aud Ague, which they never failed to
cure.
A celebrated Physician, acquainted with
these f,cts has furnished us his theory
upon this important subject, and hence
the Product properly named TEXAS TON
&c SYRUP, which We now offer to the pub
lie as II specific and positive cure for Feve.
and Aguc, or Chills and Fever, no mattel
OF lnw long standing.
Having had indubitable evidence If it's
prompt and certain effects from the testi-
inony of Il multitude of respectable citi-
zens, among whom is classed many of our
best Physicians, we do not hesitate to re-
commend this Preparation in all cases OF
Fever and Agne and Chills aud Fever in
deed, from the facts in our possession OF its
intrinsic value, it would not be too much
for us to state that when the directions
are strictly complied with we warrant a
enre in every case, where it is tried. 1t is
pleasant to the taste and the cheapest
Medicine in the world. Therefore, in truth
it may be declared the day is not far dis
tant when it must be appreciated and
used in every household where Fever and
Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist

SUMNERING YOUNG CALVES
The first summer is the important
one for calves. If they come
through it in good, sound thrifty
condition, their future rearing is
easy. If they get pot-bellied. cut
of shape and stuntcd, year will
be lost in their development and
growth. and they never will be SO
good as they would have been had
they kept growing from their birth.
The secret Of success in raising
calves is to keep them thrifty from
the very start. Let them never get
a check, and they will pay in the
end for the extra care. A frequent
mistake is to turn calves out to
grass too early. They have to eat
a large amount of succulent food to
supply to their unprotected diges-
tive organs q sufficient amount of
such nutlJment as they can use.
and they Envelope enormous paun-
ches, out Of all proportion to their
frames. ~ frolicking they ex-
pend, in |uscular waste, material
that shou i go to help their growth,
and by b. ;oming eyer-heatcd, they
disariang their entire systems.
Later in the season, ON stinted.

often as n nch starved by the want
Of food as they were earlier by the
want of ability to make complete

dams, and receiving a bountifnl
