HEAR WHAT DOCTORS SAY.

STONE MOUNTAIN, GA, April 1875.
Mr. B. n. WooNcy, Atlanta, Ga: In
reply to your inquiry as to how sue
ceeded with the use Of CDR. Collins
Painless Opium Antidote," which !
procured from you as his agent, for
patient of mine, have this to
report: 1t was lady about thirty-two
(32) years cid, who had used opiates
about seven years, and was using at
the time commenced the use of the
Antidote about three grains of NOR
phiue in a day of twenty-four hours.
Hen general health was very bad.
She was extremely debilltated, and
| in fact all the healthy actions of the
system were more or less deranged.
/ She commenced the use of the Anti
dote about the 10Th of April, 1874.
| In three or four days she began to
improve, and continued to do SO I'M
til she became perfectly healthy
woman, never using a particle of OPT
un from the first dose of the Anti
dote. In spirits she is cheerful and
| hopeful. Her skin and eyes have
cleared up, and truly, | might say it
has brought hope and happiness
where dependency and unhaPpiness
had existed, and returned health to
body and mind. She lief. off the use
of the Antidote without trouble, after
she had used about six and half bot
ties in about six and = half months
time. She has not used particle OF
opiale or Antidote since then, hav-
| ing no desire or necessity for either.
BY this, you see she has been per-
fectly well more than six months.
Ifthese tacts will be of any service to
you or DR.. Collins, you are at iber~
ty to use them. 1t is certainly a
most remarkable remedy for the
cure of the opium habit.

He Jaw apple pies made of bricks
Aud rams horns custards too;
He saw wine made Of number six,
And lamp black turn TO blue.
He saw wagons run without wheel,
And water run up hill;
lie saw Congressman who wouldn't stea
And brakes without bill.
He saw turkey gobblers laying eggs
And toad frogs bibble wine;
He saw whiskey barrels walk on legs.
And oak trees turn to pine.
He saw a nation ruled by scalawags
And low degraded blacks;
He saw them fill their carpet bags
With money raised by tax.
lie saw that nation reel aud fall
From glory TO disgrace;
lie heard It's ignorant ruler bawl

LONG, LONG AGO.

There are times when can see
Thy dear, sweet face in pleasant dreams;
Then the old love comes back 10 me,
And like the long ago ii seems,
! hold thy little hand in mine,
And clasp it as used TO do,
And kneeliug at loves holy shrine,
We fondlv pledge our VOWS anew;
But when the dream is past and gone,
know that thou hast not been here;
! know that there has been no dawn,
Upon the night that is 80 drear,-
So full ofbitterness aud pain,
So dark and desolate to me,
That through the gloom look In vain
One struggling ray Of light TO see.
Yet all around me behold
The hills with verdure fresh and fair
The valleys trimmed with gorgeous gold,
And seas of amber on the air;
White beds OF flowers OF rarest bloom
Yield to the breezes their perfume,
And little birds with joyous lays
Dart through thousand leafy ways;
But NV dark heart will not receive
Such Joyous scenes, whil' it must grieve,
While il mast wait day Sf"r day,
Too sal to weep too dark to pray.
All. well: when life is ended here,
When we have crossed the gloomy river,
And onr soul.barlls have reached that sphere
Where there is life and light forever,
And every toll and strife il Ger,
Their. we shal meet TO part no m1re.

What the true man wants with a
wife is her companionship, sympa-
thy, and love. The way of life has
many dreary places in it, and man
needs a companion TO go with him.
A man is sometimes oyertaken by
misfortunes: he meets with failure or
defeat trials and temptations beset
him, and he needs one to stand by
and sympathise. lie has some hard
battles to fight with poverty, enc
mics and with sin and he needs a
woman that when he puts his arms
around her, he feels that he has
something to fight for; she will help
him to fight; that will put her lips to
his cara aud whisper words of coun-
sci. and her hand to his heart, and
impart inspiration. All through life,
through storm and through sunshine,
conflict and victory, through adverse
and fav oring winds, man needs a
woman's love. The heart yearns for
it. A sisters or a mothers love will
hardly supply the need.

time since you and the readers of the JOUR-
NAL have heard from Rambler" you may
think he has gone up or down. If SO you
aro surely mistaken, for have been vi
brating between here Philadelphia, York,
Pa, Frederick Harpers Ferry, and Bllti-
more. And during the long silence, have
taken notes ofmy rambles and observations,
which shall be presented in due time.
Both houses of Congress adjourned yes
terday afternoon, till Monday, which is vir-
tually sure indication that no important
business will be done till after the holidays.
The Democratic leaders in the House are
disposed to hold Legislation in check, to
get their forces batter martialed and fully
prepared to act in concert. 1t may take
month or more to get them into line, and
the policy will be to go slow.
President Grant and family, the Judges
of the Supreme Court, members of Con.
gress and other digaitaries, numbering
about 400, went yesterday to pay visit to
the Centennial grounds and buildings.
The Centennial Commission were hore
few days ago, asking Congress to make an
appropriation of Sl,500,0)0, for the COM
pletion of thu buildings. Thus far the
work, am ounting to five orsix million dol
lars, is all paid for by the different States
and subscription. And it seems right and
Just that the Government should now be
liberal in this greatest National exhibition
the world has ever seen.
Last week an excursion of some ] 200
from York, Pa, accompanied by the Spring
Garden Band, paid visit to this city.
After visiting the Smithsonian Institute
and Agricultural Hall, n large part of the
crowd, lead by the band, marched to the
White House. The great Reception room
was soon filled when President Grant was
introduced to the numerous unexpected
guests as the band played "Hail to the
Chief" The private rooms including the
Blue room were then opened, and as each
passed along to enter these rooms, shook
hands with the President, and left the spa
cious halls feeling highly gratifed with
the short visit
The weather here is very cold. All the
boats in Chesapeak and Ohio Canal are ice
bound, and even the Potomac is frozen over
except narrow channel in the center Of
the stream. Yours, as ever,
RAMBLER.
