THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

Should you feel inclined to censure
Faults you may in others view,
Ask your own life, ere you venture,
Ifthat has not failings, too.
Let not many vows be broken
Rather strive q friend to gain;
Many word in anger spoken,
Finds its passage back again.
Do not. then, in idle pleasure,
Tribe with brothers fame
Guard it as valued treasure
Sacred as your own good ma me.
Do not form opinions blindly-
Hastiness to trouble tends;
Those of whom we thought unkind ly,
Oft become cur warmest friends.

IT NEVER PAYS

1t never pays to fret aud growl
When Fortune seems our foo;
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the braver blow.
For luck is work,
And those who shirk
Should not la ment their doom,
But yield the play,
And clear the way
That better men have room.
II never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheapest bought with pain.
An humble lot,
A cosy cot,
Have tempted even kings,
For station high,
That wealth will buy,
Not oft contentment briggs.
1t never pays /! blunt refrain
Well worthy of . song,
For age and youth must learn this truth,
That nothing pays that's wrong.
The good and pure
Alone are sure
To bring prolonged success,
While what is right
In heavens sight,
Is always sure to bless.

ANDERsorv1LLE Posr.oFFICE.

The following touching lines, descriptive of
an incident in the ''pen" of the Union prison
ers at Andersonville, Ga, are attributed to
G. A. Hollister, Esq. of Litch6eld, Conn
The war has ELECTED nothing of sadder in
terest:
no blanket round his wasted limbs,
Under the rainy sky he slept;
While pointing his envenomed sh ats,
Around him Death, the archer, crept,
He dreamed of hunger, and held out
His hand TO clutch little bread
That q white angel with q torch.
Among the living and the dead
Seemed bearing. smiling as she went
The vision walked him, as lie spied
The post-boy followed by crowd
of famished prisoners, who cried
For letters-letters from their friends,
Crawling upon his hands and knees,
He hears his own name called, and loi
A letter from his wife he sees
Gasping for breath, he shrieked aloud,
And lost in natures blind eclipse,
Faltering amid the suppliant crowd,
Caught it and pressed it to his lips.
A guard who followed, red and wrofh,
And fourishing a rusty brand,
Revlled him with taunting oath,
And snatcbed the letter from his hand,
"First pay the postage, whining wretch -
Despair had made the prisoner brave,--
"Then give me back my money, sir
l am . captive not slave
You took my money and my clothes,
Take my life, too-but let me know
How Mary and the children are,
And l will bless you ere l go.''
The very moonlight through his hands,
As he stood supplicating. shone,
And his sharp features shaped themselves
Into prayers, and such a tone
OF anpuiSh there in hiscry
For wife and children, that the guard,
Thinking upon his own-passed by,
And left him swooning on the sward.
Beyond the ''dead line" fell his head
The eager sentry knew his mark,
And with a crash the bullet sped
Into his brain and all was dark.
But when they turned his lived cheek
Up towards the light, the pale lips smil ed
Kissing q picture fair and meek,
That held in either hand q child.

Hoohand's German Bitters.

A BTrTERs WITHOUT ALCOHOL CIR SPIRITS OF
ANY KIND,
Is different from all Others It is composed
Of the pure juices or VITAL PRINCIPLE OF
ROOTs, HERES and BARKs (or as incidentally
termed, extracts }, the worthless or inert por-
tions of the ingredients not being used.
Therefore, in one bottle of this Bitters there
is contained as mnch medicinal virtue as will
be found in several gallons of ordinary mix
lures. The Roots, &C., used in this Bitters
are grown in Germany, their vital principles
extracted in that country by scientific
Chemist and forwarded to the mandatory in
this city, where they compounded and
bottled. Containing spirituous ingredi-
ents, this Bitters is free from the objec tons
urged against ali others no desire for slim.

cannot make drunkards, and cannot, under
any circumstances, have any but beneficial

phenomena manifested by some oi
tho men and women participating
in the exercise. Some of these
cases afterwards came under his
professional care, and were cured
by presistant administration OF
iron and strychnine, medicines
which appear to possess great ex
ercising power as against the spir-
| it's.
In catalepsy we have an sfec-
ton which is we'll calculated to
fulfill many of the requirements OF
spiritualism. The muscles have q
tendency to preserve any degree
Of contraction which may be given
them. Sensation is generally sus-
pended, and pins thrust into the
body are not felt, and yet the in.
tellectual faculties are often exsr-
cised to q remarkable extent.
AS to the movement of chairs
and tables against the force Of fgrav-
ity, the author says: There is no
doubt that they are due to hallucina-
ton, n,legerdemain, or actual fraud. A
visit to the performance Of any
pantomime will give an opportu-
nifty for seeing as striking mani
festations in this direction ns any
of those attributed to the agency
OF. spirits
To suppose that the law Of grav-
itation can be set aside for the ac-
commodation OF spirits, would not
be believed by an engineer who
constructs machinery for lifting
heavy building stones, and, al.
though the scientific man may not
be able to explain the tricks by
which the law appears to be bro
ken, yet he knows that there is
fraud, and is not, for . moment,
deceived.
This whole business Of spiritual
ism has been the source OF much
mischief, and has brought insanity
into many q family. Our readers
ought to know, that no man of sc:.-
ence, no sane man of intelligence
has any faith in it. Before the
light of science the whole thing is
shown to be an imposition. But,
as DR.. Hammond says: 'Spiritu-
alism is q religion. As such b it is
held tenaciously by many WELL
people. To reason with
these would be a waste of words,
Just as much as would be the at
tempt to persuade a madman out
Of his delusion. Emotion. or in
terest, or accident might change
them. but facts never
Thee are some who halt between
belief and unbelief, for the reason
that they have no clear

and of how things are to be proved.
Such persons would do well to
read DR.. Hammond's book or con.
suit him professionally, or ask nd
vice of scientific men anywhere,
before plunging into the great fol-
y of spiritualisrl.

BEST REMEDIES

For diseases of the bladder, kidneys, gravel,
dropsical swellings, rheumatism, and gouty
affections. Under this head we have arrang.
ei Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in passing
water, Scanty Secretion, or small and fre-
quent discharges of water; Strangury, or
stopping of water; Hematuria, or bloody
urine Gout and Rheumatism of the kidneys,
without any change in quantity, but increase
in color, or dark water. 1t was always
highly recommended by the late DR.. Physick,
in these affections.

Hoodand's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to
extreme bitters, and is intended for use in
cases when some alcoholic stimulant is re-
quired in connection with the Tonic proper
ties of the Bitters. Each bottle Of the Tonic
contains one bottle of the Bitters, combined
with pure SANTA CRUZ Rum, and favored in
such q manner that the extreme bitterness of
the Bitters is overcome, forming a prepare.
ton highly agreeable and pleasant to the pal
ate, and containing the medicinal virtues of
the Bitters. The price of the Tonic is $I5O
per bottle, which many persons think too
high. They must take into consideration that
the stimulant used is guaranteed to be of
pnre quality. A poor article could be fur
nished at cheaper price, but is it not better
to pay little more and have a good article i?
medicinal preparation should contain none
but the best ingredients, and thew who ex
pect to obtain cheap compound will most
certainly be cheated.

The Kidneys are two in number, situated
atthe upper part of the Ioin, surrounded by
fat, and consisting of three parts, viz the
Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit fer
the urine and convey it to the exterior. The
exterior is conductor also, terminating in .
single tnbe, and called the Uterus. The ute
rus are connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into parts, viz the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mu-
cous. The upper expels, the lower retains.
Many have desire to .urinate without the
ability others urinate without the ability to
retain. This frequently occurs in children.
To cure these affections, We must bring in.
TO action the muscels, which are engaged in
their various functions. If they are neglect

DEAB SIa--I have been q sufferer for up-
ward OF twenty years, with gravel, bladder,
and kidney affections, during which time
have used various medicinal preparations
and been under the treatment of the most
eminent Physicians, experiencing but little
relief. Fs#s
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, consulted with my family phys
ician in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
did this because had used all kinds of
advertised remedies, and had found them
worthless, and, some quite injurious in fact,
ined to use no remedies hereafter unless 1
knew of the ingredients. 1t was this that
prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was composed Of buchu,
cubebs, and juniper berries, it occurred to me
and my physician as an excellent combina-
ton, and, wi tn his advice, after an examina-
tion of the article, and consulting again with
the druggist, concluded to try it. I COM
meuced its use about eight months ago, at
which time was confined to my room. From
the first bottle was astonished and gratified
at the beneficial effect, and after using it three
weeks, was able to walk out. 1 felt much like
writing you full statement of my case at
that time, but thought my improvement
might only be temporary, and therefore con-
cluded to defer and see if it would effect
perfect cure, knowing then it would be of
greater value to you, and more satisfactory
to me.

THE STATE FAIR,

The fourth annual State Fair will begin
on Saturday, twenty. third instant, and
continue for nine days. Unusual prepare
ton has been made by the managers to
give this important event eclat and sue
cess. Mr.. Luther Homes, the Secretary,
has been untiring in his efforts to bring
everything to bear to make the fair attrac-
tive to competitors for prizes.
The exhibition of machinery, Inanufac-
lures, products of the soil, live stock and
invented articles will, of course, be the
substantial feature of the fair, but the in
PRODUCTION of sports, such as races, and
contests of all kinds will attract probably
as many visitors as the more legitimate
features. The annual address, bv
Christian Roselius, Esq, will be the g,eat
feature OF the opening day.
