False Impression.

1t is generally supposed by a certain
class of citizens, who are not practical
or experienced, that Dyspepsia cannot
be invariably cured, but we are pleased
to say that GREENS AUGUST FLOWER has
never, to our knowledge, failed to cure
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint in all its
forms, such as Sour Stomach, Cestive-
ness, Sick Headache, Palpitation Of the
Heart, Low Spirits, &c. Out Of 30, 600
dozen bottles sold last year, not single
failure was reported, but thousands of
complimentary letters received from
Druggists of wonderful cures. Three

A Georgian on the New Party
MOYRmRnf.


Judge Lochrane, of Georgia. was
interviewed day or two since, by a
reporter of the Comrier-Joatrnal in
reference to Hayes Southern policy
and the proposed new party moves
ment. We append an extract from
the Judges remarks:
For the present, Mr.. Hayes being
a Republican, and at the head of that
party, will be naturally regarded as
the represent ative of an organiza-
tion hostile to the hopes of the Dem
ocratic party to gain political ascen-
dency in the next Presidential con-
test, and while Democrats will accept
Office under him, and may here and
there run as independent candidates,
ignoring the caucus system of nom-
ination, they will at last retain a
nominal allegiance to the Demo
cratic organization. There is a pro-
liability of new issues arising in the
governmental policy of the country
during the next few years upon which
the people of the country will more
nearly divide in sentiment than they
have under the sectional war issues
that have been prominent since 1865,
and in the adjustment Of which, by
the selection Of candidates, the col
Ored vote will become more important
as an element Of political strength,
and no one at this instance of time
can reasonably anticipate the com
binations Of party strength that may
induce a division of the Democratic
party South by combining the con-
servative elements together under
some party name to cary out the
policies which may become popular.
But there is no leader with personal
following who is likely to stand for
ward in opposition to the Demo
cratic organization with its great
prestige Of power, and lead any new
party movement. IF such thing
comes, it will come from the masses
driving the leaders on questions of
finance or tax. or from The laboring
elements, whose present condition
is that Of uneasiness under the heavy
burdens on the industry Of the coun-
try in favor of capitalist and bond
holder. For myself, I regard the
system of American labor as pro-
blem Of great future difficulty for all
political parties TO handle, North as
we'll as South; and, while its claims
have been subdued by the higher
claims of issues springing out of the
results of the war, the day is not far
distant when it will assert itself, and
refuse to bear the burden that has
been put upon it in favor of the more
fortuate moneyed interests of the
country.

Pnnning the Question.

One of the Danbury young men
who has occasionally escorted a
young lady home on Sunday eve
ming, and went in for lunch, after
performing both services last Sunday
night, suddenly said to her:
"Do you talk in your sleep?"
f" Why-no,'' she answered, in
surprise.
"Do you walk in your sleep?" he
next inquired.
"No, sir"
He moved his chair an inch closer,
and with increased interest asked:
"Do you snore?"
" No. she hastily replied, looking
uneasily at him,
At this reply his eyes fairly spark
led, His lips eagerly parted, and he
gave his chair another hitch, he
briskly inquired:
'Do you throw the combings from
your hair in the wash basin?"
What's that?" she asked with a
blank face.
He repeated the question, although
with increased nervousness.
. No, don't" she answered, in
some haste.
Again his chair went forward,
while his agitation grew so great that
he could scarcely maintain his place
upon it as he further asked:
"Do you clean out the comb when
Won are through %
"Of course [ do," she said, star
ing at him with all her might.
In an instant he was On his knees
before her, his eyes ablaze with
flame, and his hands outstretched.
"Oh, my dear Miss. love you,
he passionately cried. "l give my
whole heart to you. Love me, and ]
will be your slave, Love me as
Lore you, and l will do everything
on earth for you. Oh, will you take
me to be your lover, your husband
your protector, your everything?"
| 1t was critical moment for {
young woman of her years, but she
was equal to the emergency. as {
woman generally is, and she scoopec

a Wonderful StOry-Fact Stran-
ger than Fiction.

The Marion Pdtroit and Herald.
Of the 26th Of April, tells the follow
ing: Quite a sensation was produc-
ed in out town last week, by the
announcement that a young gentle
man had arrived in our midst, claim
ing as q sister one of the young la
dies of the place, who had lived
among US for a number of years as
the adopted daughter of citizen,
but of whose parentage no one pre-
viously knew anything, not even the
young lacy herself,
Some years previous to the war a
gentleman by the name of thinner
man died, in Greenbrier county, Va,
leaving wife and three small chill
dren, one Of them a mere infant.
The grief of the wife was so intense
at the loss of her husband that her
reason became impaired, and labor
ing under temporary fit ofinsanity,
she left her home and friends secret
ly, taking her infant daughter with
her, and leaving the other two chill
dren. a daughter and son behind her.
Those who felt an interest in the
fate of the unfortunate woman and
child, supposed that they had been
! drowned as no trace of them could
! be discovered. And SO the matter
rested. until the daughter and son
left behind had grown up, when, by
some means, they were pnt upon the
track of the missing ones. They
found that the mother had wandered
/ with her child to Bedford county,
Va, that there the authorities had
taken charge of her. and that she
/ had been sent to one of the Lunat ic
Asylums of the State, where she had
died after remaining about two
years. The only thing then to be
done was to find, if possible, the lost
sister. 1t was ascertained that the
child had been left with Mr.. Wade
OF Bedford county, and an effort was
made to learn from him its where
bouts. Letters were written to him !,
] but he declined to give any response.
! Efforts were made through other
/ parties to obtain information from
him, but for a long time be declined
to give any. At last, however, he
was prevailed upon, and told that by
consent of court he had given the
. child to a gentleman and lady who
promised to adopt her as their own
child, and never to let her know that
they were not her parents, he prom.
ising to keep the secret also.
Armed with all the necessary in.
formation and proofs of relationship.
Mr.. NJ. w. Zimmerman came to our
town last week, and made known
his relationship to his sister, who
had lived in our community for more
4 than ten years as the daughter OF
Captain j. V. Deaton. known to the
world as Miss Josie Deaton. The
young lady, about three years ago,
had found out that she was not the
daughter Of Captain Deaton, and O
course it had been to her great
source of pain. We can well imagine
her delight at finding out her paren
tage, and at being united with those
who are made dear by the ties o
blood.
The friends of the young lady art
deeply gratified at the unlocked 70
joy which has come so suddenly ant
unexpectedly upon her. No NOR,
amiable or highly esteemed youns

THE TRUE WIFE.--What do you
think the beautiful word "wife"
comes from2 It is the great word
in which the English and Latin lam
guages conquered the French and
Greek. I hope the French will some
day get word for it, instead ofthat
dreadful word femme. gees
But what do you think il comes
from? The great use ofSaxon words
is that they mean something. Wife
means "WedUer." You must either
be housewives or house-moths re-
member that. In the deep sense,
you must either weave mems fortunes
and embroider them; or feed upon
and bring them to decay.
Wherever true wife comes, home
is always around her. The stars
may be over her head the glow
worm in the cold grass may be the
only FIRE at her foot at night; but
home is wherever she is. aud for a
noble woman it stretches far round
her, better than houses ceiled with
cedar, or painted. with vermiIion,
shedding its quiet light far. for these
who else are homeless. This, chen,
l believe TO be the wonRan's true
| place and power. a

" Why, no. The command of tn,
prophet to do anything whateYe
made obedience a sacred duty. I
took away from all crimes, SO called
the faint of criminality. It made
vice virtue. 1t sanctifed practices
totally abhorrent to Christians
even to civilized human nature. Fol-
example, Young frequently permit

favorites to their own wives daugh
ters by other men. Privately he en-.
couraged the marriage of brothers
and sisters, and once he married a
couple who were children of the same
mother but not by the same father.
He admitted that the people were
not sufficiently advanced to bear
much of this, but no one dared open
ly gainsay him when asked by him
to swallow it. The man who weld
ed an influence like this had no diff
ficulty in getting anything accom-
plished. He made himself feared,
as well as respected, through the ter
rible order of the Danites, from
which the Destroying Angels of the
Church were selected. John D. Lee,
Dame, and others, all belonged to
this misnamed. devilish clan. They
were ready to strike at anybody at

Some" responded Mrs. Webb,
''have ascribed avarice as a motive,
for these reasons That the Arkansas

The outside prejudice against Nor
monism, east and west, was intense,
and a report was circulated that the
people of the approaching emigrant
train had used belligerent language.
On the North we were threatened by
Johnston's army, and in the South
there was, or might have been, reason
to suppose that the emigrants would

INFANT BAPTISM.

Our good brethren of the religious
press can occasionally "go for !"
each others scalps in way which
might we'll make the political writer
feel uneasy for his laurels. For
instance, in the last issue of the
| HoIston Methodist, it seems that
some Campbellite preacher has
been criticising the Methodists for
baptising little babies, and making
fippant illusions to the struggles
and terrific screams of poor little
helpless infants trying to escape
from the relentless grasp of /" baby
sprinklers To which Rev. ]. w.
Bowman, retorts thus:
"Were I disposed I could retort
by reference to strangled, half-drown-
ed, mud be-smeared adults, strug-
CLING frantically. miry grave, in some
filthy millpond, at the hands Of some
Plunger or Soaker."
And then the gentleman goes off
on the back of "rhyming horse "
in this wise:
g Let dogs delight to bark and bite"
And stupid asses bray;
Let vultures feed with filthy greed
On flesh they do not %Gy.
Let subtitle asp, its victim clasp,
And spit its venom dire
While boas bold their prey unfold,
Till it in death expire.
Let buzzards soar and lions roar
And scent their game afar,
And leopards bold, and foxes old
Still prosecute the war.
While wolves do howl and tigers growl,
And panthers screams for blood
While skeptics mock and buffoons joke
At everything of good
But Christian men with nobler ken
Than in such things to Tevel;
Envenomed hate, they relegate,
To servants of the Devil.

DON'T SCoLD.-For the sake Of
your children, don't do it. 1t is a
great misfortune to have children
reared in the presence and under
the influence of a scold. The effect
of the everlasting complaining and
fault-finding of such persons is to
make the young who hear it unamia-
BILE, malicious, callous-hearted and
they often learn to take pleasure in
doing the very things for which they
receive such tongue.lashiEgs. AS
they are always getting the blame
of wrong-doing, whether they do it
or not, they might as we'll do wrong
as right. They lose all ambition to
strive for the favorable opinion of
the Pathfinder, since, they always
strive in vain. Thus is scold not
only nuisance, but a destroyer Of
the morals Of children. If these
unioved, dreaded people could only
see themselves as others see them,
they would flee to the mountains in
very shame.

Ex-Governor Henderson Of Texas
who is an old man and a paralytic,
while riding with his daughter recent
" near Galveston, lost his route,
and they finally found thems elves
in a wilderness at night, their horse
tired out and the Ex-Governor scarce
ly able to walk. They passed one
night in the carriage and another
under q tree, the daughter in the
daytime searching for some way out
of the woods. On the third day she
heard a cow bell ring, and following
the sound found negro cottage,
where an old man showed them the
path to sawmiIl, where they met a
party who were looking for them.
