the recollection Ct . kindly association,
which are the s'foot prints in the sands Of
time" that mask out path of rectitude for
US to follow, or else deal out their Wholesome
lessons of the folly we should shun or the
vices to be feared. Though an epitaph is not
always to be believed, yet that very frailty in
speaking 'sno i'll" is significant of the tenants
of our religion and commends itself to the
teachings of the holy word. From the ne
cropolis of every nation can be read the his
tory of its Philosophy and Religion and their
changes, with their epochs, can be accurately
determined, from the simple urn to the pyr-
amid of masonry. 1t is a sad but pleasant
Office to perform to the memory of our dead.
and the simple act is not only silent history
of ourselves, but it affords us an opportunity
of UNIV ittingly practicing sacred tenent Of
the christian religion.
Already between four and FIVE hundred
dollars have been subscribed, by very few
of our citizens, and it is confidently hoped
that sufficient amount will be subscribed to
purchase suitable grounds Of sufficient di-
mansions, and to enclose it properly with
stone wall. The subscription paper is left
at Mr.. S. A. banners St ore, and those who
are willing to subscribe to the enterprise will
at once put their names upon the list.

"BRKAD Cast UPON rHE WA1zR."-lf the
Great Providence has not literally cast bread
upon the waters, He has planted the elements
of wholesome nourisment on the rocks, in the
shape of Sea Moss, firm which the Sea Moss
Farine is made. This new article has every
where won "golden opin ions of all sorts of
people," and the housekeepers of the land gen.
orally regard it in the double light of sta
pie necessary and delicious luxury for
while it's use lessons the expense of living
the exquisite dishes prepared from it can not
be obtained even at an extravagant cost, from
any other source. Scientific Committees, ho-
tel keepers, professional cooks, ladies who su-
periutend their own kitchens, physicians,
nurses, dyspcptics and invalids of every class
bear witness Of these facts. To this mass Of
Endorsements we unhesiatingly add our owa
and without fear of contradiction say that the

| Nearly every town in the Valley has foGr-
ishing organization OF the Council of Temper
ance, except this place. Some twelve months
since number of citizens. feeling the neces-
sity Of such an orgs nization, for the welfare
of TIL. community, made an effort to secure
charter for Council at this place, and were
successful in procuring it, and in. effecting a
| temporary organization, with raN and juve-
| nile material. But through the great indis-
position of the majority of our older citizens
to take part in the matter, it fell through for
the want of proper patronage.
The President oe the State Council, whilst
visiting our town, few days ago, expressed
his anxiety for the reorganization of this
Council. and spoke very hattering oe every
Council in the State, and in his lectures, at
different places, testified to the great good be-
ing accomplished throughout the State. We
were struck with one particular idea advan-
ced by the President, that these organiza-
| tons were not SO particularly designed to re-
form old and confirmed inebriates, as it was
to throw protecting aeg;s around the young
and unsophisticated in the convivialities of
life. Certainly, it is much easier TO restrain
than to reform; the young shoot is far more
easy to bend than it is to break the grown
| trunk. Society demands a proper effort to
destroy the great and ever growing evil of
incorporates, and those who refuse or fail to
throw their influence in the scal,, are disre-
garding their duty as good citizens,as we'll as
| impeaching their christian professions. We
look to our youth for the consumation of
our national greatness, and in proportion as
they are educated up to the standard of mora
excellence, will their works show. As we'll
look for the choice varieties of fruit from the
thorn shrub as moral excellence from a neg
lected training.
1t is hoped that tho President of this Coun-
Gil will call meeting of the members, and to-
gether with the citizens generally of this
place, will reorganize the Council, and pre-
pare it for the great moral and christian duty
it is designed to accomplish.

The confidence Of the people, AMI the numer-

tive properties, and gives special recommen-
dation of koskoo to the practitioners of med
icine. This is, VIC believe, the first instance
shere such medicines have been officially
endorsed by the Faculty Of any Of the medi-
cal colleges, and reflects great credit upon the
skill of DR.. Lawrence, its compounder. and
also puts 'Koskoo" in the van o. all other
