The time at length arrived for us to go up to

his lawful and welded wife, for time and for all
eternity? If you are, you will manifest it by
placing her right hand within the right hand Of
your husband" l did So But what words can

THERE is as much connection be-
| tween the words and the thoughts as
there is between the thoughts and ac.
tions. The latter is not only the ex.
preston of the former, but they have a
power to react upon the soul, and leave
the stain Of corruption there. A young
man who allows himself to use one vul-
gar or profane word, has not only
shown that there is foul spot on his
mind, but by the utterance of that spot
he infiames it, till, by indulgence, it
will pollute and ruin the soul. Be
careful of your words and of your
thoughts. If you can control your
tongue so that no improper words are
pronounced by it, you will soon be able
to control the mind, and save it from
corruption. You extipguish the fire by
smothering it, or by preventing bad
thoughts from bursting into words.
Never utter a word anywhere which
you would be ashamed to speak in the
presence Of the most refined lady, or
the most religious man. Try this prac-
tice little while, and you will soon
have command of yourself.

WE earnestly hope that our sugges.
tion, of a few weeks since, looking to
the formation of Democratic Clubs
throughout the county may not be over
looked There was never a time when
they were more needed than now or
when they would be more likely to do
good. 1t would not be necessary to
hold frequent meetings at this early
time in the year, once in a month or
fortnight would perhaps be sufficient |:
but it is very desirable that the Clubs
should be organized and ready to work
actively when the campaign fairly
opens. A few energetic and earnest
men in each township could bring about
the result. The fall elections are of so
important character that every means
should be taken to ensure an increased
majority in the county.

Progress of the eBevolutiOn.-A new light
dawned upon the world with the introduction
of PLANTATION BITTERs twelve years ago
Drastic purgation went out-restoration and rem
ovation came in. The eyes Of the people were
opened to the great fact that the way to is
ease is TO strengthen and support its victims,
not TO place them at its mercy by depriving
them OF the little strength they have. II soon
became evident that as a means of infusing vi
tality into the feeble system, regulating the &C.
cretions, curing indigestion, and reforming a
bilious habit of body, no medicinal preparation
then known was at all comparable to the new
restorative. Since then hundreds of attempts
have been made TO rival the Bitters. They have
ell failed. and the GRAND REVOLUTION IN MED
ICAL TREATMENT, which was commenced II
1860, is stll IN progress, Nothing stop IT, fol
| It is founded on the principle, now universally
acknowledged, that physical vigor is the most
| formidable antagonist of all human ailments
and experience has shown that PLANTATION

1t is II fact not as generally known rs
it should be, that the onion is remarka-
BILE for its nutritious qualities. Accord
ing to analysis, the dried onion root
contains from 25 to 80 per cent. of
gluten. In this respect it ranks with
the nutritious pea.-The onion is to the
Spaniard and Portuguese what cheese
is to the English laborer; it helps to sus.
tain his strength, and adds largely tC
the nourishment which his simple mea
suggests. If onions were more largely
used in this country, there is little
doubt that the general health of oul
rural population would be greatly
promoted. The only reason why they
are not more extensively employed a
an article of general consumption il
large cities, and amongst what ar,
known as the better classes, is becaus
of the strong odor emitted by then
while cooking. This objection does no
apply with so much force in the coun
try where the facilities for ventilation
are so much better than in cities.

SCARLET FEvER.-The scarlet fever
"a disease that parents dread more than
almost any other that children can be
afflicted with-is raging to fearful ex-
tent in several counties of tho State.
An eminent physician claims to rob
scarlet fever of many of its terrors by
prescribing for the patient warm
lemonade with little mucilage, as
often as desired, and the application
of warmth to the stomach. He directs
that cloth be wrung out of hot water
and laid on the stomach, renewing it as
it cools. With this treatment, he
guarantees that not one out of hun
dred cases will prove fatal.
