incidentally termed Extracts,) the WORTHLESS

there is contained as much medicinal virtue
as will be found in several gallons of ordinary
mixtures. The Roots. &c, used in this Bit

urged against all others; 10 desire for stimu-
lants can be induced from their use, they can
not make drunkards, and cannot under any
circumstances, have any but beneficial effect.

is overcome, forming a preparation that is
highly agreeable ami pleasant to the palate,

bottle, which many persons think too high.
They must take into consideration that the
stimulant used is guaranteed to be of pure

A pnUDEST LOVER.

An Ohio journal says that quite a
number of odd and amusing scenes
frequently occur with parties. who
visit the Probate Court for the pur,
pose Of securing necessary documents
TO iegalize their marriage. But tie
other day young man, about 81, ac-
companied by one Of the opposite
sex, equally as young, ascended the
main steps Of the court house, and
then, being directed 70 the Probate
Court, took up their line of march for
its hallowed precincts. Reaching, he
refused to enter.
His hand did quake,
And trembling Ike a leaf Of aspen green
And troubled blood through bis pale fass was
seen
A IT . running messenger had been.
The rustic maiden, who was ex.
tremely anxious to see the marriage
programme carried to o successful
issue, looked upon him with pleading
eyes, and then, taking him by the
hand in the most tender manner, be-
seeched him to go to the Court and
obtain the license.
"Oh! come along Jake; what's the
use backing out2" fell in dulcet tones
upon Jacobs car.

will give me fits if / marry you"

times that you would marry me in

"Yesi yes! but there is"

"Why. the farm"
"Plague take the farm"
"Ycs, but Melindy," reasoned her
lover, "hadn't we better wait till the

sUPERSTlTION OF THE MID

Antichris. was supposed to be born
in Babylon. and the jews were ready
to recognize him as their Messiah
The year 1000 was fixed upon by the
most learned doctors as the time Of
his appearance and the end of the
world. We have terrible picture
gi~en by q contemporary of the desc
lation which reigned throughout Eu-
rope at the approach of this fatal
term; there were fearful signs in the
heavens and on the eclipses,
comets. meteors. floods. tempests
and plaques. Superstition aggraya-
ted the real.evils Of public misery
the people spoke of frightful mira
cles; the dead was raised; the living
struck with sudden death; spectera
and demons came from the abyss
Men thought of nothing but how
they should appear before Cod
They gave up their wealth to churches
and converts; they thought it USE
less to till the ground and occupy
themselves in their daily tasks; their
fields, houses and shops were desert
ed for the altar. At length the last
day of the year 999 arrived; the
whole populace, in tears and prayers.
crowded the churches, aid waited in
trembling expectation the sounding
OF the seven trumpets aud the ap-
pearance of Antichrist; but the sun
rose bright as ever. the stars fell not
from heaven, the laws of nature were
uninterrupted. ''Tt was only post
poned," said the credulous; they
counted the days. weeks and months
with indescribable anxiety, and it re-
quired many years of anguish to re-
store calmness to their minds.

nate man is like weak poultice. He
is cross between table-beer and GIN
ger-pop, with the cork left out. A
fresh-water mermaid found in cow
pasture, with her hands filed with
dandelions. He is a tea-cup full of
syllabub; kitten in trowsers; sick
monkey, with q blonde moustache.
He is vine without any tendrils; a
fly drowned in oil; a paper kite in a
dead calm. He elves like a butterfly
nobody can tell why. He is as harm
less as pennyworth Of sugar candy,
and as useless as shirt-button with
out hole. He is as lazy as slug,
and has no more hope than a last years
summer fly. He goes through life on
tip-toe, and dies like cologne water

LIBERTY

Ihe most terrible OF crimes nre
committed in the name of Liberty.
Gesler's cap set up in the public ,pla-
ces, is respected rs the cap of Liber-
ty. The Tyrant's sword, welded
with bloody execution, is the scroll!
of justice in the hands of Liberty
The gailows, the guillotine and gar
ote, running red with the blood OF
martyred patriots. are the diadems
in the head-piece of Liberty. And
SO all that is bad, all that is cruel, all
that Is mean, is concentrated into
one word, and that word is-Liber-
ty! It is the cloak which hides the
tyrant's deeds of infamy-the screen
which hides the corruptions of polit-
ical trisksters-the subtcrfuge which
blinds the eyes of the people to acts
of treachery and darkness.
This is the desecration to which
this grandest of political blessings is
subjected. This is the eyil to which
it is prostituted. This is the infamy
to which wicked men have lowered
it. And still the people throw up
their hats aud shout hosannas to such
Liberty!
1t is such Liberty which exists in
the United States-a Liberty which
gives license to political demagogues
and knaves and traitors to commit in
its once sacred name the most violent
outrages-license to trample on the
Constitution of the land, ignore the
rights of the citizens, and enact laws
which ought to mantle the cheeks Of
their authors with shame.
1t is such q Liberty which Eng
land guarantees to Irelsud-a liber-
ty in name only, and without any of
its benefits or blessings.
1t Is such o Liberty which the
Communists propose for Francs
Liberty which sanctions all manner
of atrocities-gives power to licen-
tious rabble-destroys religion
mocks at holy things-saeks churches
and edi6ces even to the level of fero-
cious beasts.
1t Is such a Liberty which makes
good men ours Sc its very name, and
sigh for Royalty whose strength is
tempered with justice. whose attri-
butes are respect for private rights
and desire for the public welfare.
True liberty is . blessing which
few know how to appreciate until
they are robbed OF it-a blessing
which all men crave and yet SO read
lily abuse when they get it. It is the
Liberty which wss born at RunnY-
mede, baptized at Lexington and
Bunker Hill. and confirmed at Sum-
ter and its battle successors. It is
such Liberty that our fathers of the
Revolution fought to give rs. It is
such Liberty that the people of the
South struggled through four years
of war to maintain. It is such Q
Liberty that We want now. Will the
people sacrifice this Liberty for that
other hcentious abuse Of it which
characterizes the present Govern
ment of the United States. Feeble
though our voice may be, and weak
our influence, such as they are we
give them to the cause We lore so
well. We trust that they may be
heard. We hope that they maj be
felt and that the people of this broad
land will bestir themselves in the
cause of Right, in the cause of Con-
stitutional Liberty. It is none too
soon. 1t is q duty which they owe to
themselves. to posterity, to the world
to maintain the Right. Let them see
to it that they fail not,-Augasta
(Ga. Banner.

-FtlR Raw INDIAN LANDS.


A Washington dispatch TO the New
York Times says the Secretary of the
Interior has directed the Indian Office
to advertise the Kaw Indian lands in
Kansas for sale Immediately. The plan
10 to advertise for sealed proposals, each
bid 10 be for tract of land not contain
ing more than 100 acres, and award each
OF such tracts 10 the highest bidder.
This will prevent any large quantity of
those lands falling into the hands of one
company or individual, because they are
very valuable, and great many people
are ready to settle on them, and have
already decided on the sections they de-
sire, or have them already under i'm
provement, and they can of course bid
higher for those sections which they
particularly desire than person bid
ding for large tracts for the sake OF
speculation could afford. The condi-
tons are such that the competition must
be very great. There are about 100000
acres which will be sold, there being
reserved in accordance with the treaty
q quantity sufficient for the head right:
that is, for heads of families and In
dians over twenty-One years old which
have been determined and set off.
