On Everybody's Tongue.

Eulogiums of the great National Regeneration
of Health, Plantation Bitters, are on every
body's tongue. This gratuitous ripa roce adj
vertising is better than all the paid-for putting
to which the owners of bogus bitters are obliged
to resort. 1t has spontaneous heartiness about
it which carries conviction to the mind of the
auditor. But it is n we'll known fact that the
proprietors of the Plantation Bitters have never
relied upon newspaper bolstering to establish
the success of preparation which owes its
astonishing popularity mainly to the oral testi-
mony of the thousands who have either expert
enced or been the eyewitness of the immense
physical good it has wrought throughout the
length and breadth of the land.

To NE Editor Of the Commercial
The announcement made ON Sabbath TO my
people with respect to the dissolution OF the
pastoral relation, was not intended for publica-
ton. should, however, pass it by In silence,
had not the notice contained some errors, cAlcu-
lated to make a wrong impression on the public
mind. Therefore, in Justice to myself and peo-
pie, feel bound to correct one Of those mis-
takes.
Instead Of any unfriendly relations existing
between my people and myself the most cordial
and friendly relations are sustained, and / al
ways expect them to be continued. l did say
that had not all the sympathy, encouragement,
and cooperation which l needed to make my
work successful as / desired but that is a
complaint common with most Of pastors. A few
persons left the church recently but it was not
in opposition to the pastor OF the church. My
affection for my people has not abated in the
least-I love them as can love child OF my
own-many Of them have been very valuable to
me, indeed In point Of character, think they
are second to none in this city.
Neither has my interest in this work dimin-
| ished. love it as much as ever-my heart ia in
it, and it gives me pain to think OF the many
| strong and pleasant ties which are 80 soon to be
sundered. 1 have had many delightful expe-
riences in this field, AZ well as sore trials and
though carry with me few painful reflections
L shall have many pleasant remembrance.
And now as am about to retire from the pas
torate Of this charge, the greatest favor have tC
ask OF a thoughtful community, is to give me
the credit Of having prosecuted my work hon
estly, and the justice Of having been true TO my
| principles. Yours, 40,
