These Pills are an unfailing Fe-

where milder and cheaper medi-
cines fail.
They are composed OF the most
active and powerful principles OF
plants, roots and berries, so highly
concentrated that each pill contains
more medical strength than a
whole box or bottle of ordinary
dollar medicine in the market. Al
though powerful, yet so mild and
pleasant in their operation that the
most feeble can take them with
nerfect safety.

Njyaikn VDidf1iltlEt


EE There is, we heard an eminent
lawyer allege q few days since, no
marriage legal vhichis celebrated
on the Sabbath day. There are.
no doubt, twenty thousand couples
in this,State- alone Tor whom the
marriage ceremony was performed
on the Sabba4h-4manyo of them
in the evening OF that. day Il
note drawn and signed on the Sab
bath is Illegal, or any other legal
agreements between parties. Mar
riage is a legal contract, which, if
performed out of the legal time.
necessarily must be void; and
Claiming this, the sons and daugh-
tiers Of a recently deceased million
aire mean to contest his will, be-
cause In that q large portion Of
his estate was willed to the chill
dren of their stepmother, who was
welded to their father on the Sab
bath, in a church in the city of
Rochester, New York. 1.-THE ques-
ton issto be decided that such
marriages ere illegal, another long
catalogue of ovexalious suits will
be brought into our courts by par
ties similarly re ated to the one
above mentioned. The decision
lately rendered by a learned Judge
of our courts, that marriages of
minors are Illegal, and a divorce
for such not necessary. in order
that they cafl separate and remar-
ry legally, since II was carried in-
to Immediate practice by the par
ties for whom the decisioH was
rendered, is proving baneful to so
ciety. The harm that this decis.
ion does to our social system Ia
temporary truly, and If the eutire
population but lesrnof
this decision, the future will wit
mesa less elopements Of, young
and a less number of cases
where guileful and designing men
entice young ladies from home in
order to wed them. That the
OF marriage performed
for minors on any and all days of
he week, or for a couple where
1ne is minor and the other an
adult, should be pronounced ille-
yaland non.effective, isnot strange.
But in the face of long practised
customs, that Sabbath day wed
lings are Illegal will strike thou
ands with feelings akin to conster-
ration s With ali our laws and
odes it is, indeed, strange that
hose legal enactments which
most concern our personal welfare
nd happiness are least known
nd least understood by the gener-
/ public, including our most ILL

Faith-A Fragment.
For the Faretterille Observer

Faith is commonly understood
to be divine conviction Of spirit
ual realities, through which we
discover those mysterious truths
which epcircle man within the
limits Of salvation. Whenever it
works upon the heart according to
Its nature and design, it produces
a progressive assimilation to the
divine perfections, till lost in vis-
ion, the Transforming change shall
be carried on by the open gaze
of Eternal Excellence. To trace
the gradaiions of this powerful
principle from its first spring in
the soul, to its entire influence
there, we shall find even in its
effects in this life vast subject
for contemplation. Throughifaith,
how do the low conceptions of the
Infinite God expand into the most
sublime realities Whereas He
was once barely acknowledged in
the work Of creation, Heis ao,c
seen 10 the wnysof His providence,
and powerfully felt in the word
of inspiration. Once He was as
a man that hideth himself, often
retiring behind the dark clouds of
adversely, leaving the disconso-
late soul to the sorrows of uncer-
tainty and the variety of woe;
noaC. by the constant light of His
Spirit, He shines in all the ills of
life and gives firm supportagaiDst
the threatenings Of the elements,
or in the actual decease of nature.
Once the ranking passions of
demon haunted the breast, cnrrod-
ing cares drank up the spirits
noac, nota jarriog string moves in
discordanee to the sway of love,
and every fear is hushed as the
calm surface of a summers sea.
Once pr ,aigate or vain associates
delighted and carnal mirth was
called to fill the dread vaeuity of
time, s,o,o is hailed the society of |
simple few whose breasts glow
with the same celestial fire, or en-
closed in the silent sweetness
of retirement, he dwells in audi
ence with the Deity. He looks no
longer with admiration upon the
glare Of human greatness, or with
contempt upon the dull scenes of
humble life, the Uncreated Beauty
hath stained the glory Lf the one,
and given a godlike condescension
to The other. He weighs the
good and i'll of life in a Just bal
ance, and considers them daily ap-
portioned by the Wise Father to
suit the states Of all his dependen-
cies. He traces distinctly the |
lines between virtue and vice,
truth and deceit, and places an i'm
passible bar bet tSeen the slightest
differences. He glories in moth
ing save what will declare the
honor of his God, and while be is
raised to participate with Cherubs
before the Throne, be aliases him
self to the lowest of his species,
and views all with that equal eye
which would include themin the
same gracious privileges and glo-
rious inheritance with himself.
These, O.! Faith, are some of
thy truths, but thy votaries are
few. Many profess to know thee,
but .te,o penetrate thy secret. The
systematic divine as frequently /
thee as the fantastic Wis
ionary. Thou art revealed only to
the poor and contrite in spirit, and
such as tremble at the word ofthe
Lord. Rustic.

From the Columbia Herald. .

One-third of this, s5,912.14,

vile Railroad, nett earnings, $685.
547.79; from which deduct 6 per
cent. interest on S36O,000, S21.6O0,
leaving nett profit, S46,948.76,
equal to IA per cent. of the whole
cost of the road.
There might have been hber-
al deduction for difference Of ex-
pense p running trains upon the
narrow gauge road, over the wide,
in the difference Of the tonnage
of cars. While the narrow gauge
cars carry only 2 tons of dead
freight in their cars TO 4 tons Of
paying freight, the wide gauge
carries generally 8 tons of dead
freight for every s tons of paying
freight; thus taking twice the
locomotive power to carry its
freight. Now if the locomotive
power, Sl00.SsS.10. be divided by
8 we have SS3, ,620 46. which di-
vided by 2 leaves q balance saved
to Narrow Gauge of $l6, 6,S14.68. to
be added to the above nett profits,
making S63,76347 total, which
might be largely increased by ex-
amining the trains, and other ex-
penses of wide gauge roads, where
the faving might be even greater
than shown above.
