ZONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO."
BY SUB K, d.

In musing moments oft we wander back to day
ofSore,
And many long departed scenes, in fancy pom
der DER.
We think of stately palaces now ruined pile,
they stand,
While those who tenaned their halls dwell in
the silent land.
Yet hearts beat light with joyous thoughts, OF
throbbed in bitter woe.
Men Tired and loved, and died as now
''One hundred years ago."
D. God: where are those precious souls, re-
deemed at such COST
The dreadful thought, to thy blest view,
some are too surely lost;
But those who fought the GLORIOUS fight
are blessed forever more,
With fadeless crowns adorned they stand, on
the Eternal shore
All, may their prayers Gods pity move to.

Are striving as they strove on esrth-'one

AT early dawn the 'king of day illumcd the
Worll below.
The ststey hall, the humble cot alike in

The silvery moon pursued her course through
the deep ethe. blue,
While brilliant stars lit up the sky like gems
ofgolden hue.

Around Thy name. as did they then, "One

A LOVER ON THE RAMPAGE.

1t is singular what episodes the tender
passion sometimes occasions. 1t is not un.
frequently the case of biliousuess, producing
dyspepsia and other complaints of the di.
gestive organs it has been asserted that
cholic is sometimes the result of it, and q
wonderful tendency to melancholy is created
by it. Meditative walks, silent reveries,
ana self-communion springs from the first
advance of the observing emotion. These
are common and anticipated results but
it has been left to Julius Cober to disclose
a new feature in the universal malady. 1t
seems that Julius had been smitten with
the bright eyes and rosy cheeks of cab
bage vendor in the Poydras market. He
visits her daily and dimes in her presence on
rashes of bacon and cold vegetables, and on
one of these occasions summoned sufficient
courage to profer his suit. But his en-
barrassment caused him SO much excite
ment that he actually overturned Jug of
carbolic acid, which had been put under
the table by the maiden's respected pro-
genitor. The noxious fluid spread upon
the pavement and most offensive odor
arose from it.
Whats that 2 inquired the little maiden,
eleTsting her olfactory member, and max
ing evident signs of distress.
Its my love- continued Julius, oblivious
in his excitement, of the smell, and suppos-
ing her inquiry to refer to his attachment.

Deaths.

Died suddenly at her residence in Sangersvile,
Augusta county, Jan. 9th, Mrs. Caroline Bryan,
wife Of Reuben Bryan, in the Sind year of her
age. She was for many years a consistent men,
Der of the Presbyterian church, and died with
the blessed assurance of blissful Immortality.
Died, December Both, 1869, at the residence OF
Va, Jacob Beard, aged IS years and Is days.
Died, at the Va. Hotel on Saturday, JAM 18th,
Mr.. B. G. Tapsecott. The deceased arrived in
Siaunton and took lodging at the Hotel on the
Sth of December. He was in infrm health and
within three or four hours after his arrival was
taken violently ill. For near 48 hours he persis-
tenty refused all medicine and all medical aid.
nor could the earnest united efforts OF DR.. C. r.
Harris and Capt. Sale, the Hotel Proprietor sue
coed in gaining his assent to the very first and
most essential prophylactics against pneumonia
with which he was suddenly and violently attack
ed. AT last when too late, he submitted to treat
ment, but only occasionally and irregularly. For
time he was most faithfully attended, daily by DR..
Harris and occasionally by others of his profes
sional brethren whom he called in consultation.
These facts we mention for the information of
his friends. if he leaves any surviving him, for he
came amongst US an entire stranger and nearly
destitute of means, nor has any one visited him
FROM distance or appeared to take an interest in
his fate. We know and take pleasure in stating
that he lacked for nothing which could contribute
to his comfort; and whatever could be done by
kind and faithful nursing was done for him from
the first hour of his illness and it is proper to
add that in his brief lucid intervals he received
the earnest and faithful ministration of Rev.
Kramer Of our Methodist Church in this place.

/. Special Notices.
LET COMMON SENSE DECIDE.

What is the rational mode Of procedure in
cases of general debility and nervous prostra-
ton! Does not reason tell US that judicious
stimulation is required. 70 resort to violent
purgation in such case is absurd as it would be
to bleed starving man. Yet it is done every
day. Yes, this stupid and unphilosophical prac-
tice is continued in the teeth of the great fact
that physical weakness with all the nervous dis
turbances that accompany it, is more certainly
and rabidly relieved by Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters than any other medicine at present known.
1t is true that general debility is often attended
with torpidity or irregularity Of the bowels, and
that this symptom must not be overlooked. But
while the discharge of the waste matter of the
system is expedited or regulated, ITS vIGoR MUST
BE RECRUITED. The Bitters do both. They COM
bine aperient and anti bilious properties, with
extraordinary tonic power. Even while remov-
ing Instructions from the bowels. they tone and
invigorate those osnsns. Through the stomach,
upon which the great vegetable specific acts de
rectly, it gives healthy and permanent impetus
to every enfeebled function. Digestion is facili-
tated, the falteriDg circulation regulated, the
blood reinforced with a new accession of the ali
mentary principle, the nerves braced, and all
the dormant powers of the system reused into
healthy action; not spasmodically, as would be
the case if a mere stimulant were administered,
but for continuance. 1t is in this way that
such extraordinary changes arc wrought in the
condition of the feeble, emancpsted and ner-
vous invalids by the use of this wonderful cor
receive, Alternative and tonic. Let common sense
decide between such preparation and prostra-
ting cathartle supplemented by 4 poisonous as
tringent like stryehpine or quinia.

THE uPAIN KILLER. !,

| The Foreign and domestic demand for Perry
| Davis & soD's great medicine=-the Pain Killer
never before so large as it has been of late
and we think the time has arrived when the dec
laration may be made. without the possibility of
refutation, that the city of Providence, Rhode
Island, has furnished the entire habitable globe
with medicine, which, in point Of universally
of demand, extent of usefulness, complete eff
cheney for all the purposes for which it was de-
signed and widespread, enduring popularity, has
never been equalled by any medicine in Europe
or America.
The universally Of the demand for the Pain
Killer is q novel, interesting, and surprising
feature in the history of this medicine. Its fame
has gone out, into every quarter of the globe
The Pain Killer is now regularly sold in large
and steadily increasing quantities, not only to
general agents in every State and Territory Of
the Union, and every Province of British Amer
lea, but to every South American State, to the
Sandwich Islands, to Cuba and ether West India
Islands; to England and Continental Europe;
to Mozambique Madagascar, Zanzibar and other
African lands, to Australia and Calcutta, Ran
COON and other places in India. 1t has also been
sent to China, and we doubt if there is any for
eign port or any inland city in Africa or Asia,
which is frequcnted by American or European
missionaries, travellers or traders, into which the
Pain Killer has not been introduced and been
sought after.
The extent of its usefulness is another great
feature Of this remarkable medicine. 1t is not
only the best thing ever known, everybody
will confess, for bruises, cuts, burns, &c., but
for dysentery or cholera, or any sort of bowel
complaint it is a remedy unsurpassed for eficien-
cy and rapidity of action. In the great cities of
British India. and in the West India Islands and
other hot climates it has become the standard
medicine for all such complaints, as well as for
dyspepsia, liver complaint and other kindred dis
orders. For coughs and colds, canker, asthma
and rheumatic difficulties it has been proved by
the N st abundant and convincing trials and tes-
timony, to be an invaluable medicine. The pro-
prietors are in possession Of letters from persons
of the highest character and responsibility, tes-
tifying in unequivocal terms, to the cures effect
ed and the satisfactory results produced. in an
almost endless variety of cases, by the use of
this great MISUNDERSTANDING Advertiser.
