Geo. Peabody, most princely in be-
stowing,' has come home, as it is tho't
to close up his earthly accounts. He
has already provided for all his rela.
tives, who have been made independent
chiefly through him ,and there are no EN-.
barrassments of this nature to impede
the majestic march of his beneficence.
Excellence, as well as vice and the
small>pox, is contagious, and we shall
expect to witness the opening of the
Peabody era for munificent charaties.-
The spirit which yanimates him will
move the hearts of many Of
fortunate accumulators of the world,
and great things may be expected from
them for the relief of the poor. the weak
and the ignorant.

Do You Take the Responsibility 2

The moral Of the following anecdote
is not bounded by its intemperance ap-
plication Who cares TO take the re-
sponsibility of leading any one into any
wrong doing2 I,
A young man had been sadly intem-
perate. He was q man of great capaci
ty, facination and power. but he had q
passion for brandy which nothing could
control. Often in his walks, friend
demonstrated with him. but in vain; as
often, in turn, would he in vain urge his
friend to take q social glass. On one
occasion the latter agreed to yield TO
him, and as they walked up to the bar
together, the bar keeper said,-
'Gentlemen, what will you have2
Wine, SIR was the reply.
The glasses were filed, and the two
friends stood ready to pledge each other
in renewed and eternal friendship, when
he paused and said to his incorporate
friend,- aoz Ge
Now, if drink this glass of wine and
become drunkard, will you take the
responsibility ?
The drunkard looked at him with se-
verify and said,-
Set down that glass $50
1t was set down, and the two walked
away without saying word.

sequences of the first glass Even in
his madness for liquor, be is not-willing
to assume the responsibility Of another

It is strange to see with what care
lessness, some invalids attend to their
health. They will procure box Of
Plantation Bitters, which ought to be
used up in month or six weeks, and
upon inquiry it is found that they have
used only two or three bottles. Some
days they have used it according to the
directions, and others have not touched
it. The whole trial has been irregular,
and of course less favorable result
has come from their use. If it be true
that what is worth doing at all is worth
doing WE'LL how emphatically is it true
in matters relating to the health. A few
bottles of Plantation Bitters have often
wrought wonders, while in other instan
ces disease has only been subdued after
weeks Of resistance.

The Case Of a Good Many People.

A little boy, residing in a village
where the smallpox was prevalent,vac
cination, its merits and effects, were
the theme of talk. Sunday morning
George started for Sunday School,
During the exercises the teacher asked
George if he had ever been baptised.
Small pox and vaccination happening to
be uppermost in Georgie's mind, and be-
ing rather too young to know the differ
ence between the sound Of 'baptised'
and 'vaccinated,' and being ashamed to
be thought ignorant, he promptly and
rather pompously answered: Yes, sir,

VOL. XXXIX.s
ON THE OTHER SIDE

We go our ways in life too much alone;
We hold ourselves tao lar from al our kind
Too often, are we deaf to sigh and moan;
Too often to the weak and helpless blind;
Too often, where distress and want abide,
We turn and pass upon the other side.
The other side is trodden smooth, and worn
By footsteps passing idly all the day;
Where lie the bruised ones who faint and mourn
Is seldom more than untrodden way.
Our selfish hearts are for feet the guide;
They lead US on the other side.
Il should be ours the oil and wine to pour
tR ILto the bleeding wounds of stricken ones:
To take the smitten, and the sick and sore,
And bear them where stream OF blessing runs;
q Instead, we look about-the way is wide,
And 30 pass upon the other side. -
Oh friends and brothers, gliding down the years
Humanity is calling to each and all
In tender accents, born of grief and tears!
l pray you listen to the call!
You cannot in your selfish pride,
Pass guiitless the other side.

The delegates who took part in the

were evidently women of good discip-

assemblies. Several series Of resolu-

by their style, brevity, and clearness,
were models for all popular bodies
We know of no political hody that has

work it had done in the neighborhood of his
former home tErie. Pa.) Immediately applied
to Mr. NJ. for a box Of his Life Compound and
commenced taking it. Icommenced improving
in a few day and continued to improve, and in
less than three months from that time was
tirely restored, and have remained we'll ever
since. Mine was rather an inveterate case and
pronounced 80 by all the physicians of this city.
The medicine was so successful in my case, that
cannot refrain from adding my testimony in
its favor. l-

Anti Masonic Action.


have lately taken ground against Ma
sonry, upon the ostensible ground th at
it is composed of secret societies. If
secrecy be the principle aimed at, it is
little singular that the Good Templars,
Sons of Temperance, and other similar
organizations were not mentioned.
The resolves Of synod here and
there against Masonry are about as ef>
fective toward shaking it as would be
the hurling of putty pellets against the
rock of Gibraltar, with the expect alton
of battering down the everlasting struc-
ture. AS the fly on the horn of the OK
did not disturb the latter. SO will not the
hostile action of little sect, here and
there, discomit an organization whose
limits are those of the world.
During the late war, Masonry did
more to ameliorate the horros of i'm.
prisonment, and TO mitigate the atroci>
ties of the battle, than any agency else.
To the remark that / am "a Baptist or
Il am Methodist, the reply was inva>
riably: That's played out The an
nouncement of Masonic rights, on the
contrary, was never disrcgarded.
We think that these gentlemen, who
are denouncing Masonry should not fail
to notice that, whereas, nearly Or quite
every Protestant sect was disrupted be-
fore or during the war, Masonry remain
ed, then as now, indivisible. In the ell.
ement of fraternal regard, which no
principle of discord can gain foothold.
the punny and discordant sectaries who
are now warning against Masonry can
find something worthy of imitation
Masonry never quarrels: never arms
crucified an opponent; never bellows
politics from its altar; never distributes
tracts where bread is needed; never mar
tials nation against nation. Can that
Christianly organization CT which these
hostile little synods are members, say
as much? Are there any Latimers, or
Cranmers, or Mary Stuarts in its histo-
ry2 Did it ever hang, burn, or impris-
On ouy UOuy DcCouSc VI u oluSICuCO Va
opinion7 Is there any blood upon the
pages Of its history. Does it meddle
with politics?
The record of Masonry will compare
favorably with that Of any other organi-
zation. Its history is one of peace. It's
flag is white It's mission is charity
1t teaches the beauty of fraternal love,
and its effort is to quiet the warning ele-
ments in humanity, and to induce the
clasping of hands by enemies. It is
the oil which calms the troubled and
stormy waters Of existence. When some
of these aggressive little synods can
show as good a record, then will the
world be prepared to admit their right
to criticise. Meanwhile let the casting
| Of the first stone be withheld until somo
| one without sin can be found to under
| take it.

who resided ten miles out of the city,
and they we're engaged to be married.
On Sunday he visited her and found
that she was nigh unto death Of consump-

drown his sorrow in strong drink. On
Monday he visited her again and found
she was dying. On his return home
that night he procured a quantity Of
laudanum and swallowed it, and then
told his mother that the young lady was
dying and that he was not going to sur
vive her. He died next morning, and
word was brought to the city, the same
day, that she too, WAS dead.
