VALUABLE INFORMATION.

BOSTON, Dec. IL, 1862
Gentlemen-My only object in giving you this tes-
timonial is to spread valuable information. Iiav'
ing been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum, and the
whole surface of my skin being covered with PIN.
Piles and eruptions, many of which caused me great
pain and annoyance, and knowing 1t to be a blood
disease, took many of the advertised blood prep
aratiens, among which was any quantity of Sarsa-
parilla, without obtaining any benefit until / COM
menced taking the yegetue, and before had COM
pleted the first bottle saw that had got the right
medicine. Consequently, followed on with it I'M
til had taken seven bottles, when was pronounc-
ed well man, and my skin is smooth and entirely
free from pmples and eruptons. have never en-
joyed so good health before and attribute 1t all to
the use Of Vegetne. To benefit those afflicted with
Rheumatism, l will make mention also of thee Veg

SLIDING DOWN THE HILL.

Merry youths and maidens,
Faces all aglow,
Climbing up the hillside,
Crus.ed Ger with snow;
When tn reach the summit
Rings out clear and shrill,
Boys come choose your partGefs
And be down the HIN"
One with eyes Of haze,
And with auburn har,
Iresolved on asking
Halt my sled to share;
And I softly whispered.
Not without thrill,
"shall be your escort,
Jennie, down the bill 90
With my arms around her,
Gliding DER the snow,
In that blissful moment,
resolved to know
What should be my FORUM,
Were it good or ILL;
And got my answer,
Sliding down the hill.
Many q year hos vanished
Since that winter night,
Many heart is resting.
Then SO gay and light,
Many sled has passed us,
Flying faster still,
Since we have been sliding
Sliding down life's hill.
Yet we know by waymarks,
Step and silver hair,
That the goal is nearing,
Soon we shall be there;
And our prayer to Heaven
II it be his will,
We will stop together
Sliding down life's hill.

THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMOC.
RACY.

Ihe Chairman Of the Democratic State
Central Committee, and the candidate fo,
'Governor, aud State Treasurer chosen by
the Democracy of Pennsylvania, have all
spoken out upon the issues of the Cam.
apaign. Their political creed is in no way
uncertain but, clear and Enthusiastically,
in favor of Reform in high places, and
honesty in finance. 1t is quite clear that
The Keystone State, is not dominated over
by the Foreign and Domestic capitalists
of Wall street.
The Chairman of the State Central
Committee, thus clearly and forcibly puts
forth the views Of the party, upon the
great question of finance, which so intm-
ately affects every citizen.
"Upon the legal-tender basis the farmer
has purchased his land, the manufacturer
put in motion his machinery, and the
working man bought the lot upon which
he erected his home. To cAang. this basis
of values suddenly, by the substitution of
gold and silver, would depreciate the price

THE LATTER DAYS OF BORERT
BRUCE.
A Chapter of Scottish History, A. D.
l3lS-l32S.

Robert Bruce continued to reign glori-
ousIy for several years, and was 80 con-
stantly victorious over the English, that the
Scots seemed during his government to
have acquired complete superiority
over their neighbors. But then we mnst
remember, that Edward H., who then
reigned in England, was foolish prince,
and listened to bad counsels so that it is no
wonder that he was beaten by 40 wise and
experienced general as Robert Bruce who
had fought his way to the crown through
SO many disasters, and acquired in conse-
quence 40 much renown, that, as I have
often said, he was generally accounted one
Of the best soldiers and wisest sovereigns of
his time.
In the last year of Robert the Bruce's
reign, he became extremely sickly and in
firm, chiefly owing to disorder called the
leprosy, which he had caught during the
hardships and misfortunes of his youth,
when he was so frequently obliged to hide
himself in woods and morasses, without a
roof to shelter him. He lived at a castle
called Cardross, on the beautiful banks of
the river Clyde, near to where it joins the
sea; and his chief amusement was to 90
upon the river, and down to the sea in a
ship, which he kept for his pleasure. He
was no longer able to sit upon his war
horse, or to lead his army to the field.
While Bruce was in this feeble state
Edward H., King of England, died, and
was succeeded by his sen, Edward III. He
turned out afterwards to be one of the
wi,est and bravest kings whom England
ever had; but when he first mounted the
throne he was very young, aud under the
entire management Of his mother, who 60

Ihe war between the English and the

CARPET-BAG rule has been one Of ca.
lamitous consequences to the Republican
party. 1t has shown the cloven foot of the
present administration. In point of mo-
rality it is a fair representation of Repub-
llcan rule throughout. 1t is the one idea
of gain, and impositions of the vilest to
CRAFTY personal and political ends. The
South to-day is mere wreck of its former
self upon which Radical vultures have fat
tened until its people are ruined and i'm
poverished, and in mocking sympathy
those who have worked this woeful picture
throw the taunt in their teeth that the
southern people recuperate slowly and are
100 lazy and shiftless to even drag. them
selves from their impoverished state. But
even In. their down trodden and oppressed
condition they are slowly but surely rising
10 an independence and driving these vul-
lures from their midst. One by one the
carpet-baggers have been driven from their
feast until only few relics of it remain
Governor Ames, of Mississippi, one of the
nnest specimens of this rule sits trembling
In the chair anticipating the defeat that is to
oVertake him and throw the State once
more into the hands of honest government
1he people of the South are recovering
from their ruinous situation and an era Of
prosperity seems to be dawning upon them.
Manufactories are being established; the
yield Of crops this year has been better
than ever before since the war, migration
Is invited to the soil of each State, indus
tries OF all kinds are gaining life and this
section Of the country bids fair to again
become rich and prosperous. So much for
the honest efforts of a people dishonest
administration kept down for years at the
point OF the baysnet and declared incom-
petent to govern themselves. Carpet.bae
rule has breathed its last and its father
Republican administration, will follow after
in 1876.

r,rsna.s .s the Finances.

JUDGE Perhing, the Democratic candi-
datsliSr Governor Of Pennsylvania. in his
letter of acceptance speaks as follows:
New issues are now presented ior the
consideration of the people. The question
Of the currency is attracting the attention
of the thoughtful men of all parties; Its
final settlement rests with Congress and the
President. The legal tender issue has be-
come incorporated into the business of the
country, and its constitutionality has seen
affirmed by the Supreme Court OF the
United States. I am opposed to imitation
in its true sense, and initiation is not de-
manded by the Erie platform. 1t opposes
any further contraction of the currency at
this time of financial distress, when our
workshops, mills and manufactures are
closed, and thousands of men, willing to
work, are out of employment. To expand
the volume of the currency when the peo-
pie incurring debts, and to radiply con-
tract it when the time for payment has
come, will prove ruinous to every business
enterprise. The attempt to force the coun-
try to a resumption Of specie payments
under the provisions of the act passed by
the last Congress, will only intensity the
distress wdich now everywhere prevails.
We must cease exporting gold to pay in
terest on our Indebtedness abroad, before
specie payments can safely be resumed: |
favor such volume of currency as the
legitimate demands Of business, and the
revival of the industries Of the country
may require. Experience will best deter
mine this, and it is to be hoped that an
adequate standard or test for regulating
the amount Of currency may be establesh-
will only add, that adhere to the doctrine
always held by the Democratic party, that
gold and silver constitute the true basis for
a bank note circulation. The question as
to this is not the same as that of paper
currency that is of itself made by the
sovereign power legal tender, and there
fore money. :, ."' ''.''.. ''.

as the fbx didw.th tho fisherman IN the
fables'- -"And how was tkat~ eaid the
Earl Of Murray. Hereupon the Douglas
told him this story:
"A fisherman" he taid, chad made a hut
by river side, that he might follow his
OCCUPATION Of fishing. Now, one night he
had gone out to look after his nets, leaving
a small fire in his hut and when he came
back, behold there was a fox in the cabin,
taking the liberty to eat one of the finest
salmon he had taken. ''Ho, Mr. .Robber |!
said the fisherman, drawing his sword, and
standing in the doorway to prevent the
fox's escape, you shall presently die the
DEATH The poor fox looked for some hole
to get out at, but saw none; whereupon he
pulled down with his teeth a mantle, which
was lying on the bed, and dragged it across
the fire. The fisherman ran to snatch his
mantle from the fire-the fox flew out at
the door with the salmon and so," said
Douglas, "shall we escape the great English
army by subtilty and without risking battle
with SO large force" .G...,. !, d. 4
After this a peace was concluded with
Robert Bruce, on terms highly honorable
to Scotland; for the English King re-
nounced all pretensions to the sovereignty
of the country, and, moreover, gave his
sister, princess called Joanna, to be wife
to Robert Bruce's son, called David. This
treat was very advantageous for the Scots.
1t was called the treaty of Northampton,
because it was Concluded at that town in
the year 1928. '' w "a" i>%

THE decidedly Independent course that
eJudge Pershins has taken does not seem
to have met with very general satisfaction.
1t is thought that he should have by all
means vacated his seat upon the bencl,
and taken the stump in a canvass Of the
State, Judge Pershing thinks that this is
entirely useless as the people are fully in
formed as to the issues of the campaign.
There are none who doubt the ability of
Pershing to stump the State of Pennsylva-
MIA and make rattling fight, and we are
Of the opinion that it makes no difference
whether he takes the field or not he will
certainly be elected. His refusal to resign
his present official duties and take to the
stump is by no means an acknowledgment
OF his inability to battle his cause.
