than any other Rake invented, in proof of which
thousands OF testimonials could be produced,
The Rake is mouued on wheels thereby obvating the
objections which hayeb raised against all sprin tooth

If the ladies but knew what thousands OF them
are constantly relating 10 us, We Candidly believe
ole nan OF me weakness prostration and distress
experienced by them would vanish. James Marsh
Esq, lo9 West l4th ST.. n. y. says 'he has three
children, the first two are weak and puny, hi- wife
having been unable to nurse OF attend them, but
she has taken PLANTATION BITES for The last two
years, and has Il child now eighteen months old
which She has nursed and reared herself, and both
are hearty, saucy and well. The article is inyau-
able to mothers, &C.
Such evidence might be continued for q volume.
The best evidence is to try them They speak for
themselves. Persons Of sedentary habits troubled
with weakness assitude, palpitation of the heart,
lack Of appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver
constipation, diabetes &C.. will lind speedy relief
through these Btters
MAGNOLIA WATER. Superior to the best i'm
ported German Cologne. and sold at hall the price.
Johnson's Anodyne Lnment may be used to adj
vantage where any pain Killer is desirable In case
OF severe Cramps and Pains in the stomacle, it is
undoubtedly the best article that can be used.
Habitual constipation leads to the following re-
suits Inflammation OF the Kidneys, Sick and Merry
Gus Headache, Blousness, Dyspepsia Indigestion
Piles, Loss of Appetite, and Strength: all of which
may be avoided by being regular in yonr habits, and
taking, say one of Parsons Purgatiye Pills nightly
for four or six weeks.
WEAKNESS OF MERCHANTS. How strange it is
that most all Druggists and Grocers care less for the
health and lives OF their customers than they do for
the dollars they make out of them. They try to
shove of such goods upon which they make the
most profit, no matter about the quality. Coffee
ground with peas, pepper with burnt saw dust,
butter mixed with tallow, nutmegs made of wood,
and rot-gut whisky in square bottles to resemble
medicine and called Bitters. A truly valuable arti-
Gle, however, like SPEER'S Standard WINE BIT.
TIERS, costs more to make, because it is Of genuine
Native Wine, with the most valuable Banks, Herbs
and Roots, but the retail price is put down as low
as any other Bters, leaving less profit. Therefore
the dealer grumbes because they cost him more
than the common rum bitters, but must sell for the
same price, and his money interest is to recommend
the stuff upon which he makes the most money.
Beware of SUCH study your own health buy
speer's Standard Wine Bitters, genuine article,
and not merely an Intoxicating beverage. First
class dealers in America and Europe keep them

WmrR PINE. \ letter from White Pine,
Nevada, the new gold district Of whose
wealth 50 much has been said, dated May %,
states that there was a great deal Of sickness
among the miners and others in that region.
The smallpox prevails to a considerable ex-
tent, q large per centage Of the cases result
ING fatally. Pneumonia is, however, The most
common complaint. and the writer advises
people with unsound lungs to give the silver
mountains OF Nevada a wide berth Old mi
ners who have travelled over the country from
British Columbia to Arizona unhesitatngly
pronounce Width Pine the toughest country
they ever struck. The letter represents that
what White Pine most needs is capital and
mills. The country is rich i'll minerals, but
moneyis requisite to develop its wealth, Many
owners Of valuable claims are compelled to
allow them to remain unimproved on this &C
count, and it is almost impossible to induce
capitalists to pay therefor the value Of the
precious metal actually in sight

Rock Me to Sleep.

Backward. turn backward, oh Time in your fle hi,
!. Make me child just for ongh
Mother, come back from tho echolcss shore,
Take mo again to your heart. ns of yore;
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of caro-.
Smooth the few silver threads out Of my hair;
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep mothcr-rock me to sleep!
Backward, flow backward, OH tide of years
am so weary of tolls and Of tears
Tolls without recOmpense-tcars all in vain
Take them, and give me- my childhood again
have grown weary Of dust and decay,
Weary of hinging my soul wealth away
Weary of sowing for others to reap,
Rook me to sleep, mothcr--rock me to sleep!
Tired of tho hollow, the base, the untrue,
Mother, oh mother, my heart calls for you
Many summer tho grass has grown green,
Blossomed md faded--our faces between
Yet, with strong ycarning and passionate pain,
Long tonight for your presence again.
Come from tho silence so long and so deep
Rock mo to sleep, mother--rock me 10 Sleep
Over my heart in days that are flown.
No love like mother-lnvc evcrw shown
No other worship nhdcs and cndurcs,
Faithful. unselish and patient like yours.
None like n mother cnn charm away pain
From the sick soul and world weary hrn;n
Slumber's soft calm o'cr my heavy lids crccp-
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to slcep
Come, lot your brown hair, just lighted with gold
Fall on your shoulders again, as of old
Let ii fall over my forehead night
Shading my faint eyes away from the light;
For with its sunny edged shadows more
,Haply will throng the sweet visions of yorc;
Lovingly, softly, its bright pillows weep.
Rock me to slccp, mother-rock me to sleep
Mother, dear mother, tho years have been long
Since last hnshcd 10 your lullaby song;
Since then, and unto my soul it shall seem,
Womn,,hood's years have been bnt dream.
Clnspe1 10 yonr arms in loving embrace.
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Mover hercnftrr TO wake or 10 weep,
Rock me to sleep, othc,--rock mo to sleep

A Reason or Two.

Greeley says: Tho rush of Northern
capitalists to the South Immediately after the
close OF the war led to such losses as created
n rovulsion." Exactly
1t had been believed that tho Southern
planter was the happicst of mon, and that
under tho new order Of things the calling
which had so enriched him and enabled him
to cultivate so many social graccs, might be
madc more than ever profitable and comfort
able. So there was q crush" to the South of
"smart' men to go into tho happy business of
tilling cotton. Money was freely expended,
and "grcat expectations" cheorcd on tho nd
venturcrs. But they were doomed to dis
appointmonta disappointment that was
disastrous. They lost all they hazardcd, and
returned home wiser mon; but, unfortu.
natcly with an experience that has been re-
lated to our disadvantage, as Mr.. Greeley
says.
Now, why did they fail? First, because
tho business Of cotton planting requires expo.
rience; secondly because tho negro labor
which they would not have known how to
direct with advantage az slave, was less pro.
ductive free than it had been as slave
These advantages were amongst tho most
cntcrprising as we'll as sagacious Of Northern
people. They discovered that the pursuit of
planting was not the simple art they had
supposed tito be, and that the planters were
not the improvident, apathotio, and upskill.
full mon tho Northern mind had taken them
to bo. We venture to say that in no pare Of
tho world ,sall things considered, was thero
eyor;tsa better managed industry and moro
til!age than intho Southern plant
Ing States.
Tho disappointnent'of these men, as is
now admitted, created reaction, and for q
time blighted tho ardent aspirations touching
