widow of the Earl of Kent, the brother Of

favor in the eyes of Henry IV. who took
away from Ohio, Of Saxony, his Bavarian
possessions, and gave them to the newly

one OF the sons married daughter Of Henry
III. King of England, who succeeded in get

Countships Of Brunswick and Luenburg.
The Countships became Duchies under Ohio

These Guelphs fettered through variety Of
marriages until they came to the seven sons
of the great grandfather Of George I, King
ot England. These. sons, all Dukes, were
each entitled to share OF his possessions !;
but, in order not to split up the family coro-
net, the brothers made 4 solemn compact

Occupation.

What a glorious thing occupation is for
the human heart !. Those who work hard sell
dom yield to fancied or real sorrow. When
grief sits down, folds its hands, and mourn
fully feeds upon its own fears, weaving the
dim shadow which but a little exertion might
sweep away into a funeral pail, the strong
spirit becomes shorn Of its might, and sorrow
becomes dominant over the spirit. When
troubles flow upon you dark and heavy, toll
not with the waves and wrestle not with the
torrent; rather seek by occupation to a vert
the dark waters which threaten to over
whelm you, in the thousand channels which
the duties Of life always present. Before
yon dream of it. those waters will fertilize
the present and give birth tosfresl flowers.
that will brighten the path Of tliity tGricf,
after all, is but selfish feeling, and most
selfish is the man who yields to any in
diligence which brings no joy to his feliow-
men.

TOrpidity.

Torpidity Of the liver is a great source Of
disease. Stimulants and pleasant drinks may
stave of for a while sickness, but so long as
the liver remains inactive, disease will remain
In such cases, DR.. William Brazier's Liver
Medicine will be found a sovereign specific.
This great South Carolina remedy has been
used for twenty years for diseases Of the liver
with unvarying success. Read the evidence;
Rozelle 4 Co., at 0. X. Landing, Mississippi
river, state their customers are highly delighted
with the specific effect Of DR., William Brazier's
Liver Medicine. They claim this remedy has
fully answered all thh purposes of blue mass,
calomel and other alternatives, by lis prompt
action on the liver, regulating the flow of bile
aud neutralizing miasmatic influence. Chills
and fever, janndice, torpid liver and all those
diseases originating from miasma, are promptly
cured by the use of this great medicine. They
further state their sales are enormous and con-
stantly increasing.

After the exercises at the church,
a procession was formed numbering
about three hundred children, and
all marched to the Fair Grounds,
where, after singing, the crowd dis
persed, and the remainder Of the
day was spent in general enjoyment.
The dinner was ample and excellent
