No disorders, excepting the most deadly forms of
lung disease, involve such tremendous destruction
of organic tissue as those which fasten upon the
kidneys. Such maladies, when they become chronic
and none are so liable to assume that phase-com-
pletely wreck the system. To prevent this terrible
disaster, recourse should be had, upon the first
manifestation Of trouble, to Hostetter's Btters
which experience has proved to be highly ee ctiye as
means OF imparting tone and regularity to the or
gans Of urination as well as to the liver stomach
and bowels. Another beneficial result of this medi

is the elimination tro@ the blood of impurities

perils besetting journey through the
LIanos Estacados, or Staked Plains, and

publish as affording an intimation of what
we may expect of commercial support

opened o safe and daily intercourse with
that productive region.

taxed to pay for it, and the cost was many

the following persons, viz: Mr.. H. F.

and family, from Muscatine, Iowa;
Mr.. Henry Wilson, from Milwaukee,
Wis; Chas. J. Jewell, from Howard,
Nebraska-all on their way to Flori-
da to settle permanently. These are
all agricultural people, and doubtless
will make good citizens, as they are
intelligent, refined and seem to be
blessed in most instances with means.
We notice that they have descriptive
pamphlets of Florida, from which
they were quite conversant with the
different section.

You, who have passed the Square.
For your reward prepare;
10u, who marched with the lust and true.
Wages TO you are due.
Oft have we grasped thy social hand,
10 chat OF Hiram and SOlomOn's band:
At this house and humble place.
Lord, tit this noble work to thy grace.
All hail the morning light,
When he to foreign lands must HE.
With melting hearts and aching breast.
Our home we trust is already blessed
And You, kind hearted Brother and Sister.
Weep not for him, dry up this tear,
Silent to him is the sound of the gavel,
lie is treading the path we all must travel.
Adieu Adieu!
My Brother and favored few.
Since dissolved this earthly tie,
Master, take him to thy Lodge on high.
