empty your glass, my darling,
When you drink TO your sex with me-"
But she caught his strong brown fingers,
And held them tight as i'll fear,
And through the gathering twilight
Her loud voice fell OH his ear;
"Nay, ere you drink, implore you,
By all that you hold divine,
Pledge n woman in tear drops,
Rather by far than in wine.
"By the woes of the drunkards S mother,
by the children that beg for bread,
BY the face of her whose beloved one,
Looks on the wine when tits red;
BY the kisses changed to curses,
BY the tear more bitter than brine,
by many fond heart broken,
Pledge no woman in wine.
"What has wine brought to woman?
Nothing but tears aud pain,
1t has torn from her heart her lover,
And proved her prayer i'll vain,
And her household goods, all scattered,
Lie tangled up in the vine;
o! prithce pledge no woman
In the curse Of so many-winc."

a TRAGEDY FROM THE ECLIPSE.--In the dark
path of the late eclipse across Texas, llG miles
in width, there were thousands of ignorant peo

bIany of these people the eclipse surprised at

reported Especially on the plantation of Uni

the negroes went to praying, believing verify
the day of judgment had come.
terrible tragedy in johnson county may be

: the trumpet Of the Angel Gabriel could not

the darkness Of totality came on he ran from the
field to his house with hatchet in his hand
He was followed by negro woman named Nan

A Debatable Question.

While much has been written concerning
the use of "put up" medicines, the question is
still an open one, and demands Of the people
careful consideration. The salient points
may be briefly stated, and answered as follows:
lst-Are the sick capable OF determining their
real condition, the nature of their malady, and
selecting the proper remedy or means of cure?
2d-Can physician, no matter how skillfu,
prepare a universal remedy, adapted to the
peculiar ailments of large class of people,
residing in different ATTITUDES, and subject to
various climatic influences In answer to
the first proposition, we would say, diseases
are named and known by certain ''signs" or
symptoms, and, as the mother does not need
physician to tell her that her child has the
whooping- cough, or indicate remedy, so peo-
pie when afflicted with many Of the symptoms
concomitant to 'impure blood" "torpid liver"
and "bad digestion" require no other knowl-
edge of their condition, or the remedy indi
Gated that they already possess. Second
proposition-Many physicians argue that dis
eases are sectionally peculiar, and that their
treatment must therefore vary, and yet qui-
nine, morphine, podophylin. and hundreds of
other remedies are prescribed in all countries
to overcome certain conditions 1t is not,
therefore, self-evident that a physician whose
large experience has made him familiar with
the many phases incident to all impurities of
the blood, general and nervous debility, liver COM
plant, dyspepsia, consumption, and catarrh, can
prepare series of remedies exactly adapted
to meet the conditions manifest, where er,
and by whatever means, 1t may have been en-,
gendered? The family medicines prepared
by K V. Pierce, NJ. D. of Buffalo, n Y, fulfill
the above requirements. Many physicians
prescribe them in their practice. HIS Golden
Medical Discovery has no equal as blood pu-
riier and general tonic, while his Favorite
Prescription cures those weaknesses peculiar
to women, after physicians have failed. His

and constipation. Ifyou wish to save money
