NAILED.-The idea has been and is
still very prevalent that one OF the
strong points of belief in the Presbytc-
ran doctrine is Infant damnation, and
the quotation is often made that such
and such minister has asserted that
sthere are infants in hell only a span
long" BE this as it may correspon-
dent of the St. Louis Globe publishes
the following little proposition which
smacks of business Il will give re-
ward of $50 to any one who will give
the name Of Presbyterian minister,
who is member Of a Prcsbytery under
the jurisdiction of the General Assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian Church of the
United States of America, who, has. at
any time, preached the doctrine Of in
fant damnation; and ] will give $50 ad-
ditional reward TO any one who can
point out any article in the confession
of faith or catechism of this Church
teaching this horrid doctrine. As icfant
damnation has been charged upon
Presbyterians in an editorial of recent
date in the Globe, the above reward is
offered for the proof.

"FOR THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE. -
See Deuteronomy Chap. xii, Verse 23.
The blood being the source from which
our systems are built up and from which
we derive our mental as well as physical
capabilities, how important that it should
be kept pure. If it contains vile tester
poison all organic functions are weak
ened thereby. Settling upon important
organs, as the lungs, liver OF kidneys,
the effect is most disastrous. Hence it
becomes every one to keep their blood
in a perfectly healthy condition and
more especially does this apply at this
particular season of the year than at an
other. No matter what the exciting
cause may be, the real cause of a large
proportion of all diseases is bad blood.
Now DR.. Pierce does not wish to place
his Golden Medical Discovery i'll the
catalogue of quack patent noslluns by
recommending it TO cure every disease,
nor does he so recommend it, on the
contrary there are hundreds Of diseases
that he acknowledged it will not cure I;
but what lie does claim is this, that
there is but one form of blood disease
that it will not cure, and that disease is
cancer. He does not recommend his
Discovery for that disease, yet he
knows it to be the most searching
blood cleanser net discovered, and that
it will free the blood and system Of all
other known blood poisons, be they an
imal, vegetable or mineral. The Col
den Discovery is warranted by him TO
cure the worst form Of Skin diseases,
as all forms of Blotches, Pimples and E
ruptions, also all Glandulor Swellings,
and the worst forms of scrofulous and
liberated Sores of Neck, Legs or other
parts, and all Scrofulous Diseases Of the
Bones as White Sweilings, Fever Sores,
Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases, all of
which belong to Scrofulous diseases.
ConFIRMLD.-IIIPp DISEASE CURED.
w. Grove Station, Ia, July II, 1872
DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, \. Y: Dear Sir
My wife first became lame nine years ago.
Swellings would appear and disappear
On her hip, and she was gradually be
coming reduced, and her whole system
rotten with disease. In 1871 brake
on her hip dischargeing great quaint
ties, and since that time there are seve-
raj openings. Have had five doctors at
an expense of 1925, who say nothing
will do any good but surgical opera
ton.
July 10th, 1873, he writes thus: My
wife has certainly received great ben
eft from the use of your Discovery, for
she was not able to get of the bed and
was not expected to live a week when
she commenced using it a year ago.
She has been doing most OF her work
for over six months Has used twenty
bottles and still using it. Her recov-
cry is considered as almost a miracle,
and we attribute it all to the use of your
valuable medicine. / can cheertully
recommend it as blood purifier and
strength restorer.

THE BARN IN WHICH BooTu WAS

Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1874-06-20


LOCAL OprloN LAw.-Somc of our
brewers an! distillers are claiming that
because they pay license 10 the United
States Government, no State has right
TO pass local option law, and 40 town
or township can prevent the sale OF the
articles which they pay for the privilege
Of manufacturing. One of the brewers
addressed the following question last
week TO one OF our daily papers
"Ii the Government give man H.
censc for one year 10 carry on brewers
business, and through the effect of 'Lo-
cal Option Law, saoor-koepcrs are
compelled to close up their business,
through which the sale Of beer is great
ly injured, and brewers can only sell
about one-third of the amount they did
previously, has he not right 10 bring
suit against the United States Govern
mcnt for damages, or at least cal! for
protection of some kind against such u
law 2
10 this the editor, though uot a tom
perance man, gave the following reply:
Certainly not. When the United
States grants n man license TO operate
brewery, distillcry, or any other
manufacturing business, il 10y no means
guarantees 4 market for bis products.
The citizen takes that risk himself Ia
this country the people are sovereign,
and their will, expressed through the
ballot box, is law When the Govern
ment gave a man hoielkcepers IL
cense il did not guarantee TO furnish
him with guests; aud 40 If a man hold.
ing license, or permit, TO brew beer,
finds the business Improbable, for any
reason, lie has no other remedy than 10
cease producing until times have chan
ged. The Government license protects
him in bis right to make beer; but il is
not the Governments fault il local laws,
or any other cause, prevent him from
selling it.

SITTING UP WITH HER.

She was expecting him Saturday
night the parlor curtains were down,
the old folks notified that twas healthy
to go to bed at eight o'clock, and John
ny bribed with a cent, permitted HIM
/ self to be tucked away At sundown. He
sneaked up the path, one eve on the
dog, aud the other watching for the
old man, who didn't like him any too
well, gave faint knock at the door,
and it was opened and he was escorted
into the psrlor He said he couldn't
stay but a minute, though he didn't
mean 10 60 for hours. She wanted TO
know how his mother was and If his
brother Bills rheumatism was any bet
ter. and he went over and sat down on
the sofa, so rs 10 not strain bis voice.
Then conversation tagged, and he
played with his hat, and she nibbed at
the sofa tidy. He finally said it was
beautiful evening, and she replied that
her grandfather predicted snow storm.
He said he guessed it wouldn't snow, rs
the moon wasn't crooked enough 10
hang 4 powder horn on the end she
said she didn't believe il would either.
This mutual understanding seemed TO
give each other encouragement, ard he
wanted to know if she had seen Bill
Jones lately. She hadn't, she said, and
didn't want TO. Then they went to
talking about the donation visit which
was to be given by Elder Berry, and
he carelessly dropped his hand on hers
his right hand, while his left arm
sneaked along the sofa aud got behind
her shoulders
She pretended not 10 notice him. and
he looked down at his boots aud wautcd
TO know il she thought mutton tall0w
rotted out boots faster than Lard and
lamp black. She couldn't say, but she
had m idca that ii did. He had just
commenced to lock fingers with her,
when she discovered that something
allied the lamp She rose up aud turn
cd the lamp down half, making tho
room look dim. Ii took him live min
uteS to get hold of her fingers again.
and she pretended TO want TO draw her
hands away all the time. After lons
pause, he lowered his voice 10 whis.
per, and said he did not sec what mad"
folks love cath other She bit her hand
kerchief and admitted her ignorance.
He said that he could name dozen
young men who were going TO get
married right away. and his left arm
fell down and gave her hug, Then
he went over and looked out of thu
window, to make sure that it was not
going 10 snow, and coming back turned
down the lamp little more and then
sat down aud wanted to know il she
didn't want To rest herself by leaping
her head on his shoulder.
All, me ! we have all been there, aud
who of us cared cent when the clock
struck twelve aud we five miles from
home ? The old man was fast asleep,
the watch dog gone visiting and the
handsomcst girl in the country didn't
see why we need be in n hurry.

THE BARN IN WEIGH BooTu WAS
Kn.LEp-The Speaker laid before the
the House on Saturday communlca-
ton from the Secretary of War in rela-
ton to the claim of Richard II. Garrett,
of Virginia, for compensation for the
destruction of his barn at the time Of
the capture Of Booth and Herold. The
secretary says that as Garrett was not
examined at the trial of the conspira
tors, there is no evidence that he was
or was not aware of the character OF
Booth and Herold.. There was other
evidence, however,to show that Garrett
tried to mislead the federal force sent
in pursuit by informing them that the
men had taken to the woods, which
would seem to imply that he desired to
shield them from arrest. The commit
tee on war claims, who asked for the
information, were referred to the report
of the trial Of the conspirators for fur
ther information on the subject.
TRouBLE.-In ninety-nine cases out
of hundred, mankind make their own
troubles. 1t Is not IN the nature OF
things that it should be otherwise, and
yet we might be the most happy people
the sun shines on, if We pleased. Life
would run smoothly in the grooves if we
would only let it, but we are not con-
tent to do so-in fact content with moth
inc. From the cradle to the tomb We
are continually fretting about something
We are living at altogether too reck-
less a rate. We initiate the balloon be-
yond its capacity to bear, and then won
der that it collapses, and we get fall.
Contentment-to let things take their
course. is condition that we have yet
to learn. And how We can expect to
be free from trouble so long rs we are
seeking for it : We are much like the
son of the Emerald Isle, who twas new
er at peace without he was at war with
somebody" We constantly make trou-
ble-get into hot water, and then grum-
bic. And the world wags on just the
same, and will unto the eDd, although
we hasten our end by constant restless
ness
