The Galveston (Texas) Nslcs has so far adj
vanced in reconstruction that it objects to the
use by President Grant of the word rebellion
and suggests the smoother substitutes of "civil
war" or "the late hostlities." Words are
not Of much consequence, provided the ppr-
port and value of things are steadily kept in
view; and tho Texans lately in arms against

the Government may call their conduct by any
sweet and delicate name which may occur 10
them, provided they will promise not to repeat
their offenses. When whisky is scarce and high,
there may be comfort in eupliemisms; and II
our Texan brethren run short of these, they
may find further and fuller supply in any
string of resolutions passed by Democratic"
Convention.

The whirligig of Time has brought round
another mild and amiable revenge. If the
shade of Robert Burns could have assisted at
the Presbyterian Reunion celebrated at st.
Louis last Sunday, the author of "Holy
"Willies Prayer" 1.-THE Holy FAIR Tho
Ordination" and "The Kinks Alarm" might
have forgotten ancient hostilities and for given
the sharp spiritual discipline which he re-
garded, in the heat of his youth, as bitter
injury; for one of the congratulatory clergy
men upon this suspicious occasion not only
quoted several times from Burns, but was at
some pains to alter and misquote him. no
doubt with the intention of improving his
verses Thus the peasant bard certainly wrote
"Then here's a hand. my trusty Jer.
Aud gie's hand o. thine"
This the Rev. Mr.. McCook saw fit to deliver
as follows: "Then here's a han, my truSty
"fiien' And gie's han o. thine"-which was
not an improvement. Then, what are We to
say to the following transmOgrification:
"Theu let us pray, that 1t may.
And come 10 Will, for ~ that
The aud Kirk Blue
The whole land through,
Shall be One Fold for a. that"
We are prodigiously glad that the Preshy-
terrain differences are abated, but we see no
reason in that result for mangling and dis
torting the "wittiest, cleverest and most mas
"cuine" Of songs.

PERSEVERANCE, IN PRAYER.-The
following illus tration was used by DR..
Payson in familiar conversation with
10 friend "God deals somewhat with
us as we do with our children: When
I am in my study, engaged in writing
or meditation, if I hear one Of my
children cry, I do not go out to it
Immediately. The occasion Of its
tears may be q mere momentary
trouble, capable of being removed by
others, or from which it may be
diverted by some toy. But if its
oriea continue, snd ! find that nothing
but my presence win pacify it, I leave
everything and GO to it. So when
the children Of God begin to cry for
his presence, he does not answer them
Immediately, but waits 10 see if the
cry is repeated and if he finds that
his child will be satisfied with moth.

blessing will not lcDg bs withheld. y

do this, he puts his little hand. into

condemned that ! lack, to auch a
great degree, that same trusting,
loving spirit that prompts him to, do
this, You know, my little friends,
bow much you love and believe in
your parents, how you think that
when with them and are led by their
hand, you are safe from all harm.
Now, this is beautiful and lovely
trait Of childhood, and far be it from
me to do aught or write word to
weaken this confidence. Your best
friends and safest guides in all the
period Of childhood and youth are
your parents. And sad. the day for
any child, when it begins to heed tho
counsel Or walk in the footsteps of
companions who have thrown off the
rule Of parents. Such child is in
great danger of being ruined for time
and eternity. But wise and impor-
tant as it is for children to love and
trust their parents, yet this should be
but tho starting point to higher love
and confidence. IF we believe in our
earthly father and mother, and feel
safe when led by them, when our
hand is in theirs, let US seek to
cherish the same feelings and aftcc-
tions towards him of whom it is said,
When my father and my mother
torsake me then will the Lord take
me up," and we shall be still safer.
Not only our bodies are secure in our
heavenly Fathers hand, but our
souls The words, "hole my ham," on
the part of little child, are an ex-
preston of faith in the kindness and
protection of its parent. It expresses
also sense Of nearness. It says, "I
know while you hold my hand you
must be near me, and I feel safe when
my father or my mother is BY"
Now, will not my little friends look
up to the great Father in heaven, who
80 tenderly loves them, and ask him,
in true and loving trust, to "hole their
hans" =,
You should early learn to feel tho
need of a strong hand to protect and
guide you safely on through life. And
if ,you, by iaith, cry, "My Father
thou ar the guide of MY YOUTH" he
will lead you oil the journey through
so that Your footsteps slip not"
The little child, in the dark room,
with its hand in its parents, sweetly
sinks to slumber, because it then fears
nothing. But with still greater
security may you lay yourself down
In peace and sleep, whom by faith you
10y hold Of the hand of Jesus, and
feel that he only makes you to cwell
in safety. Learn, my dear children,
not only to repeat tho words, but to
enter into the spirit of that beautiful
hymn Of Wosley's-- I

CHILLs AND FEVER, or FEVER
AND AGUE!
Every Poison has It Antidote! Every
Disease has its Cure

TINE PEOPLE OF THE MISSISSIPPI
L Valley have long felt the necessity
for, and want of, n safe, certain and reiia-
bic remedy, as Il substitute for Qninlne,
Styychnine, and other poisonous Drugs, for
the cure of Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. We claim, and the result will
show, and bear testimony to every unpre
indeed mind, that the Texas Tonic Syrup
has supplied this want and accomplished
this purpose. Its Tenic, Alternative and
Antiseptc qualities are such that none can
possibly be disappointed in it's effects
Upon its own merits, therefore, it is sus-
tanned. A single trial is all that is needed
to stamp this remedy as the greatest spec
iic of the sc.
The ingrediments of which this Medicine
is composed are simple productions of ma
ture Astounding upon certain streams in
the State of Texas, and We're ever used by
the aborigines of that State as specific
for Fevers of all kinds, and especially Fe-
yer and Ague, which they never failed to
cure.
celebrated Physician. acquainted with
these facts, has furnished us his theory
upon this important subject, and hence
the Product properly named TEXAS TON
IC SYRUP, which we now offer to the pub
lie as q specific and positive cure for Fcver
of how long standing.
Having had indubitable evidence If its
prompt and certain effects from the testi-
lnony of a multitude of respectable citi-
zeus, among whom is elassed many of our
best Physicians, we do not hesitate to re-
commend this Preparation in all cases of
Fever and Ague and Chills and Fever; in
deed, from the facts in our possession OF it's
intrinsic value, it would not be too much
for US to state that when the directions
are strictly complied with we warrant u
cnre 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
taut when 1t must be appreciated and
used in every household where Fever and
Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist.
