General Grant and President johnson.

TIE newspapers are engaged in dis
cussing tie failure of Gen Grant TO make
the customary call upon the President on
New Years day, and many OF them open

purposcly to avoid the meeting 1t seems
that Gen Butler called, and was received
by the President with gracious favor.
The New York Herald, approving But
lers call upon the President, asks: "Whcre
was Grant the mcantime? He spent his
New Years day in, Philadelphia, aud, IL
is said, purposcly toaavoid New Years
call upon the Presidcnt."
The World says: General Grant was
elected on his famous declaration, Let

the example on New Years day by, go

was the pure hand of childhood that held
it. And. rs it was reached forth without
ostentation, it might have been grasped
without EN- mbarrassment. Butler had grace
enough to respect the popular desire for
peace-peace not in name only, but IN
deed-and did himself credit by call
which argues Difference to that desire.

VALUE OF THE SOUTHERN CoTToN CRoP
The crop this year at present prices is
estimated at two hundred and fifty mil
lions Of dollars. The Charleston Erening
Neaes very propetly says that this will not
be squandered by planters and others
travelling North as formerly, nor laid out
for mere luxures; but after purchasing
necessary supplies, it is presumed, on the
suppostion that people have some COM
mon sense, that the money will be used to
build up The country at home. Let those
who have some cash TO spare improve their
lands and tenements, nor forget to con-
tribute literally TO the cause Of public ed
ucation. 1t seems TO us the most crafty
ing use that can be made OF money now,
is to help our schools, and especially the
higher order. such as the universities and
colleges. II we educate well large num-
ber of young men there will be no lack of
efficient teachers in the more private
schools, and Of citizens of increased uSc-
fulnoss and intelligence, TO operate in

MOUNTAINS OF LIFE.

There, a land far away mid the stars we are told
Where they know not the sorrow Of time;
" here the pure rivers wander thro' valleys of gold
And life is a treasure sublime;
Where the ages of spendor eternally roll
Where the wayweary traveller reaches his goa
On the evergreen mountain Of life.
our gaze cannot soar TO that beautiful land
But our visions have told of its bliss,
And our souls by the gale from its gardens are fan

When we faint in the deserts of this.
And we sometimes have longed for its holy repOse
When or spirits We're torn with temptation and
And we've drank from the tide of the river that

From the evergreen mountains of life.

But we think where the ransomed have trod,
And the day never smiles from his palace of light

And our guide is the glory that shines through the

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series OF years, and among most of the races of
men 1t has risen higher and higher in their estima.
ton, as 1t has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
OF the lungs and throat, have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mllder forms OF disease and to young children it il,
at the same time the ehectual remedy that can
be given for mcipient consumption, and the dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As pro
vision against sudden attacks of CrOup, it should
be kept on hand IN every family and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs All
should be provided with this antidote for them
Although settled CONSUMPTION is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectOraI. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat that
the most obstinate of them yield to it, When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
tordt they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it,
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectorat in small and frequent doses.
SO generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.
