A thankful breath, sent forth to win

And hope and heaven less far away,

primal principle OF this policy must be TO

from my carriage sprained my ankle aud was un-
able to walk. An agent Of the Buffalo Courier
called at my house (of course you know what he
called fort was to collect my subscrption) and
nndlng me In great pain commenced telling won
denul story about amost wonderful medicine that
he had found In Buffalo and that ne would go and
bring to me- for trial, IS it was in his Valise. I'm
agine my surprise when 1 found II was your
Golden Relief-made here In Fredonial sent to
you for bottle and after using 81 few times the
pain entirely left and speedy cure was obtained.
This agent Of the Courier said he could not live
without it, rs he was almost = constant sufferer
from Neuralgia, and that II was the only medicine
that gave him instant relief SO you will see that
as myself and will add that, in all the numerous
cases where l or my family have tried it, It has
never failed to give relief So you will not won
der that we have learned to rely upon it in all
those cases for which you recommend II.

" Suehneversuohe,"

There is an institution in Germany,
very little known in this country, which
relates to what the Germans call
" iSuehaeDersuche," or attempts at re-
Cancellation, the object of il being the
reconciliation of married people who find
there is a want of affinity between them,
or who are dissatisfied with the matri-
monial yoke for any other cause. The
law upon the subject, which was passed
in 1874, provides that every demand for
separation or divorce must be preceded
by an appeal of both man and wife to
either a clerical or lay authority to un-
dertake the "Suehene," or reconciliation.
1t is the clergyman's duty to see the hus-
band first, then the wife, and then both
together, and use every effort in his
power to bring about reconciliation.
Some statistical reports recently issued
by the Royal Office at Berlin show Just
how far reconciliation has succeeded.
The following is the substance of the
showing;
l. Total number Of married couples desir-
ing separation: Year 1873, 1925; 1874,

MASSACHUSETTS SLOW But
RfSHT

The Massachusetts, Republicans
come nobly to the rescue and support
of the Presidents Southern policy;
now, that it is an established Fact, and
to all appearances they have embrac-
ed the ''~inevitable," gracefully and
sincerely; but it is certainly a matter
of profound regret to every lover of
his country, that this step'in the right
direction has been postponed so long,
that it was not taken several years
ago, when it would nave set in mo-
ton a-public sentiment in4lle north
that Radicalism could not have sue
cessfully resisted. Why did not
Massachusetts, eight years ago, raise
her voice in favor of 'slocal self gov
eminent in the south, based upon the
full recognition Of equal rights to
all!" Was not the south just as
well prepared for, and just as de-
serving of local self-government at
the beginning ofGrant's first term as
it vas eight years afterwards, at the
beginning of his successors term.
who conferred that blessing? Are
the southern people any more pledg.
ed now by their honor and their in.
~terests, to obey the constitution ant
laws than they were in 1863?
The great mass of the southern
people was as thoroughly prepared
for The acceptance and hearty en-
dorsement of a peace policy, whel
the Confederate armies SURRENDERED
and were disbanded, as they arc to
day. Had Grant at that time adopt
ed and enforced the same generous
and enlightened policy which Prcsi
dent Hayes has so successfully CARR
ed out, what amount of suffering ant
disgraces would have been averte,
thereby. Eight years sooner woult
peace and prosperity have returned
to our country. Eight years soone
would tyranical rule and all the hor
rors of .carpet-bag oppression have
ceased. Eight years less of fraud
of political ~rottcnness, Of scctiona
luminosity, and bayonet government
would to-day be recorded in the his.
tory of our country.
