A highly intelligent lady, a resident of
Syracuse, N. Y, says that she was af-
ficted nearly a year, periodically, with
arrangement of the circulation, the blood
rushing to the lungs with such force as
to threaten congestion and death. This
VAS attended with the most intense pain
III all parts of the body. Failing to OBJ
tain relief from any of the physicians
whom she employed from time to time,
she was induced to try the PLANTATION
BIrrERs, and to her surprise and Joy
they have relieved her, and she is now in
good health and flesh.

bate strange questions. The last was:

The next is to be: "The difference be-

A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HERE AND
THERE. The latest instance of the Presi-
dents inordinate desire to oblige his
personal friends is related by Judge
Brockins, of the Territory of New Mexi-
CO. 1t appears that man who was form
erly Speaker of the Territorial Legisla-
ture was appointed by Grant, and con-
frmed by the Senate postmaster at Santa
Fe, New Mexico. He was one of the
most prominent republicans in the Terri
tory'and was strongly backed by Chavez,
the Territorial delegate in Congress.
Upon hearing of his suspension, Judge
Brockins, who was here, went to the
Postmaster General to ascertain the
cause. He inquired what charges had
been preferred against the suspended
postmaster,
"None," said the Postmaster General.
'"Then why was he suspended ?" said
Brockins.
"Well," said Creswell, with his usual
frankness, ''all know about it is this ::
Gen. Sherman went to the President and
said he wanted place for an army officer,
who was left ont in the cold by the con-
solidation of the army. The President
inquired what sort of place he would
like to have. Sherman replied that the
officer was now in New Mexico, and he
would like to be postmaster at Santa Fe.
Grant said he believed the place was
filed. Put him out, said Sherman, in
his impatient manner, hes Some politi-
cal hummer, 1 guess, and my man is
soldier 'All right Sherman said
Grant, I'll do it. And 30 he did,
Judge Brockins is curious to know
what reasons the President will assign for
this suspension within thirty days after
the Senate meets. 1t is snid Grant has
employed Sherman to write the reasons
for this particular case. f.

NIGHT SCENES IN THE BIBLE, by Rev.
Daniel March, D. D, Zeigler, Mo
Curdy & Co., publishers, Philadelphia,
Penn; Cincinnati, Ohio; Chicago, Ill. !;
st. Louis, Mo.
"Many of the most affecting and most
important scenes described in the Bible,
transpired under the splendors of orien-
tai night. Sodom and Egypt, Beersheba
and Babylon, Carmel and Gilboa, Olivet
and Emmaus, Jerusalem and the sea of
Galilee, have each, by night, been wit
pesses of the power and glory OF the
omnipotent Jehovah.
"The author of Night Scenes in the
Bible, has followed the shadow of night
across the landscape of divine revela-
ton, and grouped together the sacred
scenes which are made awful or impress
siye by the mantle of darkness
''The style in which it is published
excels anything it has been our privilege
to examine. The steel engravings, by
the first artists of the country are perfect
gems of art. We have space to de-
scribe but two of them. The frat is
The night Watch in Mount Seir.' Be-
side one of the mountain passes, with
grand peaks towering, crag upon crag,
on either side, stands the watch tower,
with its solitary watchmsn. Just through
the pass can be seen the first bright
streaks of approaching dawn. At the
foot of the pass, wholly shaded by the
oyerhanging crags, party of travellers
are encamped. They cry out to the
watchman: 'Watchmap, what of the
night?' and down through the pass comes
reverberating that CHEEKY cry: The
morning cometh. Again we pass on
down the ages to the time when the long
looked-for morning had come, and the
Son of righteousness had arisen with
lone mountain side, and PROSTATE form
kneeling on its uncushioned rock. The
pale moonbeams creep among the crags,
just revealing their barrenness, the stars
shine dimly overhead; huge night bird
flaps his wings and alone breaks the
stiffness of the midnight hour; but
glory surrounds the lowly form-it is
Jesus, for 1T came to pass in those days
that He went out into o mountain to
pray, and continued all night in prayer
to Cod It was q sublime scene, and
the representation before us tends to
awaken the most devout reflections
"We love to dwell upon the scenes por-
trayed in these illustrations; and we feel
that no one can fail to be benefited, both
by these truthful and impressive pic
lures, and by tho earnest words Of the
writer. Let parents, who wish to have
their children love the Word of God,
aud understand its lessons Of wisdom
and love, secure. this volume. and give
them free access to its pages. p"

The blood is the great nutritive fluid.
Its Office is two-fold It provides mate
rial for the regeneration OF oil parts. and
receiving the products of their waste, it
conveys them to proper organs for re-
moval from the system. Thus it carries
life to the body, and removing therefrom
effete matters, it carries of the seeds of
disease and death. Pure blood is, in
fine, the great nutritive element OF. the
body, the great nourisher of the tissues,
the very life of the flesh, the very es-
sence of health. HEINITsH's QUEEN DE-
LIGHT is the great medicine for the blood,
and everybody should try it. Countless
are the testimonials in it's favor. It is

AFTER-DINNER MAPS MANY persons
are in the habit of sleeping for half an
hour or an hour Immediately after din
ner. This is q bad practice. Ten mi
nutes sleep before dinner is worth more
than an hour after. It rests and re-
freshes, and prepares the system for
vigorous digestion. If sleep can be
taken after dinner, it should be in the
sitting posture, as the horizontal posi-
ton is unfavorable to healthful diges-
ton. Let those who need rest and sleep
during the day take it before dinner, in
stead OF after, and they will fnd that
they will feel better, and that their di-
gestion will be improved thereby.
