About PAIN PAINT, its use, its ends,
And why its great demand.
I want to show you, plain as day,
Why Pain Paint stops all pain,
And you may never have to say
"I'll not try paint again."
PAIN PAINT will cool but never stain;
Pumps inflammation out;
IT'S harmless on the breast or brain,
~ trial stops all doubt.
When Inflammation leaves the frame,
ALI pain will cease at once;
Remove the cause, tits all the same;
None doubts unless Ounce.
The pores will ope and drink PAIN PAIsr;l
AbsoI bents fill with ease;
Restores the weak, the sick, the faint,
The greatest skeptic p.ease.
Evaporation cools the place
AS Inflammation flies;
Hot blood at the absOrbent's base
Makes PAINT in vapors rise.
IT'S thus PAIN PAINT removes all doubt,
Removes the very cause
By pumping inflammation out; &
On this we rest our cause.

ITEMS FOR FARMERS.

ONE of the secrets Of successful farm
ing is to sell when Others are buying, and
buy when Sdlers are selling.
OK an average the Cotton planter who
makes sixty bales uses up the proceeds
Of forty bales to buy what he ought to
raise.
Muck should never be taken to tho
field direct from the swamp. 1t should
be exposed to the atmosphere for six
months or more, the longer the better,
and compostod with lime or unlcached
ashes. -
. TIE Ohio Farmer, with his gang pillow,
seated high up, in case andocmfort, with
out the fear Of soiling his boets, piows
out two rows Of .corn--ten furrows at
once while Mississippian will walk
ten times over the same ground at the
expense of his shoes, If not his toe-nails,
to accomplish the same work.
EVERY bushe of wood ashes applied
to tho corn crop is worth one dollar
Tho truth of the assertion has been read
lily demonstrated by the results of OK
periments accurately conducted. On vii
light soils the action is highly energetic
and salutary, they exert 4 warming and
invigorating influence, and promote the
rapid growth of almost every species OF
vegetable production.
THE productive power of soil depends
mainly upon its mechanical condition and
chemical composition. Geology ascer-
tains the one and analyses the other
Without analysis we arc almost as ignor-
ant of the properties Of our soils and
thoir suitable methods Of treatment ~ we
are, in the absence Of geological survey,
Of tho minerals which lilo boncath them.
BY analysis i've find out what our soils
contain and what they need /; geology
shows how and where the ingredients
lacking may be supplied.
MANuREs. How few avail themselves
of the great benefit they could derive
from domestic manures! Tho barn yard,
the rich guano Of tho poultry yard, the
loached ashes, wood piles, fence cernera;
where manures have been accommodating
for thirty years, ditch banks, the rich
virgin soil in close proximity to the hills.
from which it slid, the rich muck on tho
creeks in contiguity to their farms, daily
come under our observation, and yet VIC
will not profit by their use. How pro
motive of health if these things were re-
moved to the fields to contribute to our
wealth., instead of being nuisance
No man who cultivatos the earth noed
expect remuneration without preparing
his lands properly. IF level, and likely
to suffer from wet, it should DO effectu-
ally drained; ii rolling, or hill land, it
should DO encircled with bitches to re-
tain the soil, and plowed hsrizontally.-
No vegetable matter allowed to be burned
but turned under. Both h;ll and level
land may be made productive by deep
blowing. Mere surface skinning will
not pay-wil not make a support. The
best level land will soon tire, and yield
but moderately, from shallow blowing,
and even with good blowing will tire by
contirous cropping.

A BEAUTIFUL ALLEGoRY. traveller
who spent some tins in Turkey relates
a beautiful parable which was told him
by dorvish, and which seemed even
moro beautiful than Sterne's celebrated
figure of the accusing spirit and record
ing angel. "Every man." said the der
wish, 'Ehas two angels, one on his right
shoulder and one on his left. When nc
does any thing good, the angel on the
right shoulder writes it down and seas II
because what has been we'll dene is done
forever. When he does evil, the angel
on the left writes it down, and he waits
till midnight. If before that time tbs
man bows his head and exclaims,
Gracious Allah! / have sinned; Tor
give mep the angel rubs cut the re- :
cord but fnot, at midnight ne seas u.
and he beloved angel on the riSas
shoulder wceps."

wi.h his composure and serenity thai
she cried out,
"My dear, are you moi afraid How

He rose from his chair, lashed . the
deck, supporting himself by a pillar Of

ing it to the breast of his wife, exclairn-
ed
"Are you afraid of that sword 7"
She instantly answered, "No."
"Why Z" said the officer.
"Bscause," rejoined the lady, II know
that it is in the hands Of my husband,

The Campaign is over, All our read
ers will bear witness to the fact that the
SrXlr has done its whole duty. For
this it claims no credit. Duty performed
is its own reward.
In the interval between this Campaign
and the Congressional Campaign OF
1870. which viii he one Of the most in
poytant, and h0tly contested ecer kaoc"
IN tie history Of Au1erjcaa poiitics-a
contest for supremacy between the ele.
mental forces Of Capital and Labor-the
SPIRIT will devote much attention to
general and local as well as political lite
nature.
We are determined that no county pa
per in the State shall excel the SPIRIT, in
appearance and general interest. It's
management must speak for itself. The
popularity it has enjoyed during the
Campaign Just closed, is attested by the
fact that It has had its circulation largely
increased.
