General Banks Declares for Greeley.
General N. P. Banks, of Massachusetts,, in
answer to an invitation extended to him by
the Republican City Committee of Lynn to
deliver an address upon the merits of the ADJ
ministration, at a meeting in that place, ad-
dressed to the chairman of the committee the
following letter, which must have fallen very
much like wet blanket upon the friends of
General Grant when read to the meeting:

GENERAL BANKS LETTER.
BosToN, July 81 1872

Boston, July 81, 1872.
My Dear Sir I have the honor to acknow-
ledge by this note, in addition to our CONVEX
sation to-day, the receipt of your invitation to
address the citizens of Lynn on Thursday even
ing in support of the reelection of the Grant
policy and his Administration. No invitation
could have greater weight with me from any
part of the country, nor from any portion OF
my fellow citizens, and it gives me great plea
sure to assure you that nothing could be add
ed to your suggestions, as the representatives
of the citizens of Lynn, to induce me to accede
to the request. Their kindness to me many
years ago is continuing life-remembrance,
and nothing would give me greater satisfac-
ton than to renew my associations with them :;
but regret to say that l am not in accord
with them in regard to the Presidential can
vasS.
Against my wishes and personal interests,
I am compelled to believe and to say that the
perpetuation of the present policy of the
Government is not for the advantage of the
country, and that it will not tend to establish
its former good and prosperity, nor to promote
the interest of any class of citizens. No per-
sonal feeling of any form or character enters
into this Judgment. 1t is in view of general
pIluClpiSo puOiIS iuICiCSto dibu0
am led to this conclusion. The uniting of the
masses of people OF all parties, sections, and
races in support of the grand results of the
war is indispensable to the permanent estab-
lishment Of a general recognition of those re-
suits. 1t can be secured by no other means.
We shall all be forced to this conclusion sooner
or later. This united action on this basis has
been the hope of my life. l fervently desir-
ed it during the war, and in the reconstruction
of States subsequent to the war. l believe it
is now rendered 10 good faith in the nomna-
ton of Greeley, and for one cannot reject it.
1t was what / desired. Its contamination,
although sudden and startling, does not alarm
me. My duty to my country and myself re-
quires me to give him my support. l cannot
advocate before your friends different course,
which neither my judgment nor my heart ap-
proves. 1t grieves me most deeply to sepa-
rate myself in thought or act from any one Of
those with whom have been so long aSsociat-
ed, and to whom I am so greatly indebted
but1 believe that the result will justify my
action, give to the country peace and prosperi-
ty, which is the object of our labors, and Sc
cure to every citizen civil ard political equali-
ty and freedom, which was won by the sac
rifce of so many valuable lives. Accept the
assurance of my lasting friendship and esteem,
and believe me,
Yours, truly. N. r. BANKS.

ALT. LABARRAQUE AND Co
OUINIUM ~LABARRAQUE
Approved 6y the Imperial Academy

Approved by the Imperial Academy
Of Medicine
The Quinium Labarraque is IN eminently
tonic ard febrifuge Wine, destined to fireplace
all the other preparations of Peruvian Bark.
The Bark Wines usually employed inme-
dicine are prepared from Banks which vary.
considerably in The degree to which they
possess the desired properties. Besides,
owing 10 the manner in which they are pre-
pared, these Wines contain scarcely more
than the traces Of active principles, and
these always in variable proportions.
The Quinium L~abarraque, approved by
the Academy of Medicine, constitutes, on the
contrary, a medicine of determined compo-
sition, rich in active principles, and on wich
Physicians and Patients can always rely.
The Quinium Labarrsque is prescribed
with great success for persons of weak con-
t%itution, or for those debilitated by various
exllausting causes or past sickness; for youths
falisued by too rapid growth; for young
girls whose development takes place with
difficulty; for women in childbirth; and for
aged persons enlccblcd by years or illness.
1t is the best preservative against Fevers.
In cases of Chlorosis, Anemia, or Greensik-
ness, this Wine is a powerful auxiliary Of
Tic lcrrusinous preparations. In conjunction,
Tor example. with WALLETS Pitts, the rapid
ly OF its action is really marvellous.

The Warning has been Heeded.-Since
the exposure of the attempts ma lie by certain
INSCRIPTIONS local dealers, to palm off their
coarse astringents, made from cheap and i'm
pure materials, i'll the place of the great ma
tionaltonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, public
opinion has set strongly against these empires
and their preparations. Their occupation is
gone, or soon win be. When the light is let into
deception it soon Wits down. Persons who
trife with their own health, byusing unknown
preparations, with ~nO guarantee to sustain
them, when an established specific, proven by
twenty years experience to be exactly what it is
claimed to be, is within their reach, are sure to
repent their temerity. Many have lone so in
this instance, hut it is hoped that the truth
plainly spoken has arrested the evil. In the
meantime, the demand for the leading pro-
tective and restorative medicine of America was
never so great as it has been this season. From
the fever and ague districts OF the west. south

and it may be said of the advices from all parts

HOME READING.-One of the most
pleasant and noble duties of the head
of the family is to furnish its members
with good reading. IN times which are
past It was considered enough to clothe
and feed and shelter a family. This
was the sum of pateTnal duty. But
lately it has been found out that wives
and children have minds, so that it be-
comes a necessity to educate the chill
dren and furnish reading for the whole
household. 1t has been found out that
the mind wantsf0Od as well as the body,
and thatit wants to be sheltered from
the Ditiless storm of error and vice by
the guarding and friendly root of In
telligence and virtue. An ignorant
family in our day is an antiquated in
stitution. Tt smells of the musty past.
1T is a dark spot which the light of the
modern sun Of intelligence has not
reached. Let good reading go into a
home, and the very atmosphere of that
The boy begins to- grow ambitions, to
talk about men places, principles,
the past and the future. The girls be-
gin to feel a new life opening before
them, in knowledge, duty and love.
They see new fields of usefulness and
pleasure. And SO the family changes,
and out of it's number go honorable
members of society. Let the torch of
intelligence be lit in every household.
Let the old and young vie with each
other In introducing new and useful
topics of investigation, and in cherish
ing a love OF reading, study and inn
provement.

KEEP Your WoRD.-When you prom
Use to do a thing, be sure to keep your
word, as well for the sake of truth lis in
Justice to others. This very interesting
story is told of boy who was singular
ly faithful to his word. He had bor-
rowed a tool from d neighhor, promising
to return it at night. Before evening
he was sent away on an erTand and did
not return until late. Before he was
told that his brother should see the
tool returned. After he had come
home and goneto bed, he inquired and
found that the tool had not been sent
to it's owner. He was much distressed
to think that his promise had not been
kept, but was persuaded to go to sleep
and rise early and carry is home. BY
daylight he was up, and nowhere was
the tool to be found. After a long and
fruitless search he set off for his neigh
boris to acknowledge his fault. But
how great was his surprise to find the
tool on his neighbours doorstep | And
it thenaDpeared, from the prints of lit
tie bare feet in the mud, that he had
got up in his sleep and carried it home,
and went to bed again and knew it
not. OF course a boy who was prompt
in his sleep al prompt when awake.
He lived respected, had the confidence
of his neighIors, and was placed in
many offices of trust and profit.
