Good night my dear while faith sbides,
In loving hearts, mine turns 10 thee,
Like the white star that constant guides
The restless Toilers Of the Sea
For oh, those clear, pure eyes Of thine,
(Whose gentle softness ueer decay y
Gave back the tenderness of mine,
When others coldly turned away.
Good night aud in this better hour,
When sorrow, suffering, doubts depart,
While genius, friendship, love and power
Tread to the music of my heart;
warmly clasp thy willing hand,
From all save pure affection free,
And pray bright honour close the band,
That binds my Heart Of Hearts to thee.

Medical BIunders.

From the period when surgeons applied
their salyes to weapons instead OF wounds
to the present wide-awake age, the medical
profession has often unwittingly taken side
with Disease in its conflicts with the hui
man system. Even yet, in spite OF the
teachings Of centuries Of experience, some
physicians believe in depicting their pa
tients, already seriously exhausted by sick
ness, with powerful eyacuants, emetics,
saliyaRts, cautharidal plasters, or the Ian
Get. But, providentially, public intelli-
genee Is ahead Of these medical fossils,
who belong, Of right, to the era of the
Crusades! That powerful ally Of nature
in its warfare with the causes Of sickness
HOstetteT's Stomach Bitters, has opened the
eyes of the masses to the paramount impOr-
lance of increasing the yit.d strength Of
the body when menaeed by disease. They
understand that when the atmospheric con-
ditions are adverse TO health, it is wise to
reinforce the system with wholesome ton
ic and stimulInt. ana thus enable it TO COM
bat and repel the depressing influence Of an
inelement temperature. IL the constilu-
tional and animal powers were always thus
recruited in the presence Of danger, the
mortality from consumption, bronchitis,
chronic rheumatism, etc, would be much
less than it now is. The causes which pro-
duce groups, colds, quinsey, diptheria and
cataTrh seldom affect strong and active
vital system; and of all yitalizlng prepare
tons, Hostetter's Bitters has proved the
most efficient It is not claimed that this

The Kentucky Democracy

The Kentucky Democracy in con-
vention last week, at Frankfort,
substantially. re-affirmed the Gin
cinnati platform-that is so far as
the amendments to the constitution
are concerned.
An effort was made by the ire
pressible Bourbons, headed by J.
Proctor Knott, to re-affirm all the
old tenets of the Democratic faith,
beginning with the resolutions of
9S-but it was defeated by vote of
156 to 50. The Conservative major
ity in the convention was led by
Col. Breckenridge and Capt. Black
burn. On the action of the conven-
tion the COuTier-JouTnGl says it
sought to be sufficient to convince
the most obstinate that Bourbonism
is dead in Kentucky, and if dead in
Kentucky it is dead everywhere"

Death OF the Hon. James Brooks.

The Hon. James Brooks, a distin-
guished member OF Congress from
New York, died at his residence in
Washington City on the evening of
April the 5Oth, and was buried in
New York on the 4th.
Mr.. Brooks was a man of consid-
cradle ability, and the recognized
leader Of the Democracy in the low
er House of Congress for several
sessions. He was q veteran journal
list, and with his brother, Erastus-
founded the New York Express.
Notwithstanding the credit mobil-
Ter affair, which cast cloud over
his closing days, he was held in high
esteem by large circle of his coun-
trymen. At the grave persecution
should cease and charity permitted
to spread her mantel over the faults
and frailties of humanity.

THE nIoDOo WAR.

This war still agitates the nerves
of our army. Capt. Jack is still
monarch of the lava beds. Gen.
JEFF. c. Davis has assumed command
and with several thousand troops, is
prospecting around with the view
of determining whether to charge
Jack and his forty braves or not
In the language of the Poet,
"Hurrah for our lads of the saber and trig.
ger,
No heroes on record were Drawer or bigger;
In history's pages they'll make grand
figure
They've captured one Indian, two squaws
and niger
In the mean time the brave Press
of the North indulge in the follow
ing dire language:
''Let every blade of grass in the
Northwest be watered with the
blood of these treacherous fiends,
the MOdocs, and the rivers as they
flow down to the ocean carry with
them the scarlet tidings ola nations
vengeance, and may it be mingled
with the CORY stream that flows in
the veins of the vascilating Shrek
ers for peace, to whom is principal
ly due the preparation of the late
horrible butchery."
While the agents of the associated
Press, from comfortable rooms in
San Francisco, style Capt. "John"
and his immense army "cowardly
Redskins" and the greatest Gov
eminent in the world, who is busy
expressing and plundering Louisi-
ana, offers 100000 for the exter-
mination of Jack and his Coward
ly" crew, which reward will be won
doubtless by band of Texas ex-
rebels.

Who would not be Sabbath School
