not, know that it their neghbOrs and friends,
and all know that what it does once 1t does always
that it never fails through any fault or neSlectof
its composition. We have thousands upon thou
sands of certificates Of their remarkable cures of the
following complaints, but such cures are known IN
every neighborhOod and we need not publish them.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates;
containing neither calomel or any deleterious drug,
they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable
no harm can arise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viScera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy action remove the distractions of the
stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the
body, restoring their irregular action to health, and
by correcting wherever they exist, such derange-
ments as are the first origin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
PiLiS rapidly cure:-
mess, LanguOr and Loss OF Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the ston-
ach and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various svTnp-
toms, bilious Headache. Sick Headac In q,
JaunSiice or Green sickness, Bilious
Collie and Bilious Fevers, they should be iu-
dciOusy taken for each case to correct the diseased
action or remove the distractions which cause it.
For Dysentery or DiarrhOea, but one mild
dose is generally required.
For Ekheumatism, dsOut. Gravel. PalDi-
tatiOn OF the Heart, Pain in the Side.
Back and LOins. they should be continuously
taken, as required to change the diseased action of
the system. With such change those complaints
disappear.
For DrOpsy and DrOpsicaI SweIIings they
should be taken in large and frequent doses 10 pro
duce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression a large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner PHI, take one or two Pills to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
yantageous where no serious arrangement exists
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that dose
of these PiHS makes him feel decidedly better, from

A Woman's Friendship.

1t is wondrous advantage to man, in
every pursuit or vocation, to secure on advi.
ser in sensible woman. In woman there
is at once a subtle delicacy of tact and a plain
soundncss Of judgment which are rarely com
bined to an equal degree in man. A woman
if she be really your friend, will have sen
sative regard for your character, honor, re
pute. She will seldom counsel you to dc
shabby things, for woman friend always
desires to be proud of you. At the same
time, her constitutional timidity makes her
more cautious than your male friend She
therefore seldom couusels you to do an impru-
dent thing. A mans best female friend is
wife Of good sense and heart, whom he
loves, and who loves him. But, supposing
the man to be without such a helpmate, f.
male friendship he must still have, or his in
tellect will be without garden, and there
will be many an unheeded gap even in its
strongest fence. Better and safer, of course,
are such friendships where disparity of years
or circumstances puts the idea of love out OF
the question. Middle life has rarely this ad-
vantage; youth and old age have. We may
have female friendships with those much older,
and those much younger, than ourselves. Fe-
male friendship is to man the bulwark,
sweetness, ornament, of his existence.

Pluck and Plod.

In recent extemporaneous address deliver
ed by Mayor Hall before a class Of business
college graduates, the following passage oc-
ours:
"There is no better word in the English
language than plod.' If you would really
and truly succeed in life, young men, you must
plod. .'Oh, says somebody snap Of the
finger for him; he is only a plodderv Only
a piodaer! There never was man, though
he was the most brilliant genius in the world,
who did not owe whatever of real success he
may have achieved to being plodder as well.
1t is all very well to coruscate and light the
path Of life, but it must be pluch and plod
that carries a man successfully over"
Worse things than that have been said in
the pulpit; and we do not doubt that this
little lay sermon will be productive of as much
good as many more elaborate disquisition
danked on either side with ritual pomp and
ceremony. The world has recently gone into
raptures over the completion of the Pacific
Railroad, which is aptly termed the greatest
achievement Of the century. How much
would genius alone have done towards plant
ing highway across this mighty continent ?
OF what use would have been Congressional
appropriations, the right of way, preliminary
surveys and pread-eagleis,n without the
"pluck and plod p Of the sturdy workmen,
who, inch by inch and foot by foot levelcd
the mountains and filled up the valleys for the
path Of empire 7" All honor to the men
who conceived this great enterprise, and equal
honor to the willing hands and sturdy hearts
that made its achievement possible.
The great evil of the day-aud especially
with young men--is the desire to achieve
rapidly; and the consequent disposition to
become discouraged if results are not at once
apparent.
| Fortune and fame which come without the
requisite toll are rarely blessings in themselves
and rarely come to stay. The law Of COM
pensation is beneGcent in its action, and much
more universal in its application than we are
aptto believe. Courage, sobriety, trust in
God, and steady perseverance in right doing
carry with them continual blessings, and lead
to the only legitimate success

The Hour Of Trial.

Colonel Ethan Allen of Vermont, openly
rejected the Christian religion, and wrote
several works againstit. But how little faith
he possessed in his own principles when put
to the test, will be seen from fact related by
DR.. Dwight While the Colonel was engaged
in reading some Of his own writings to a
friend, a message was brought that his daugh
ter was at the point Of death. His wife, a
pious woman, had instructed her child in the
truths Of the Bible. When, the father APP
pearcd at the bedside, the daughter affection
ately locked at him, and said G Father, am
about to die; shall believe in the principles
you have taught me, Or shall I believe in
what my mother has taught me p On hear
ing this question, the Colonel was much dis
tressed, and after pause, replied, "Bcheve
IN aohat your mother has taught you."
Rest your hope, reader, on Christ; seek
for the grace Of the Holy Spirit; live to love
and serve God on earth, and you may calmly
wait for that hour Of trial which will come
to ALL

A YEAR or two ago, when Parson Brownlow
was sick unto death, and some of his friends
feared that he would be compelled to leave
this scene of terrestrial usefulness. he viva
| oiously treasured his lugubrious comforters,
and raised their dropping spirits by the dec
laration that there was +" A good deal Of hi
in him yet" An evidence CT his alarming vital
ity and pure cusscdness occurred at Knox,
vile a few days ago, in which the truthfulness
Of his remarks as to his moral and physical
condition was fully Illustrated Itseems that
the Knoxville Wig, Brownlow's old paper,
has, under the parsons influence, all along
been supporting Senter for Governor, while a
majority Of the stockholders are Stokes men.
The latter held meeting the other day, at
which they resolved to throw Senter over
board and go for his rival. Bruwnlow. how
ever, gave them practical illustration Of how
, minorit5 might govern in a joint stock com
pany as we'll as in a State ruled by scalawags
and carpet-bagsers. Slowly rising to bis
feet, he coolly informed them that when he
had turned over the Knoxville Whig to the
stock company, he had neglected the little
formality Of executing conveyance, and con-
sequently still held the legal title of the pa
per in himself, and proposed to control its
course in the present canvass. We have no
report Of the profanity that was INDUCED in
ON the occasion, but it is we'll known that the
stockholders were compelled to submit to the
disfranchisemont until they can compel
specific performance by suit at law, by which
time the canvass will be over. Meanwhile
Blownlow remains master Of the situation,
and the Knoxville Wig still goes for Senter,
it is owned by Stokes men,
Mr. Dobbs says he has ono Of the most
obedient boys ia the world. He tells him to
do as he pleases and he does it without mue-
muriug.

Female Temper.

No trait of character is more valuable in
female than the possession of a sweet tenn
per. Oh! we can never be made happy with
out it. It is like flowers that spring up in
our pathway, reyiving and cheering us. Let
a man go home at night, wearied and worn by
the tolls Of the day, and how soothing is a
word dictated by good disposition !! It is
sunshine falling on his heart He is happy,
and the cares of life are forgotten. A sweet
temper has a soothing influence over the
minds Of awhole family. Where it is found
in the wife and mother, you observe kindness
and love predominating over the natural feel
ings of bad heart. Smiles, kind words and
looks characterize the children, and peace and
love have their dwelling there Study, then,
to acquire and retain a sweet temper. It is
more valuable than gold; it captivates more
than beauty and to the close of life retains
all its freshness and power
