sions, his own strong physical frame be-
gins to lecav, and he then desires to re-
cover the valuable but bst soul.
The last proposition contained in our
text is "What will man give in exchange
for his soul" With the boundless wealth
the man of the world has gained, he sets
ont to barter and trade with the Devil
Satan has received his soul in exchange
for the world, and now he makes propo-
stions of re-exchange.
lie offers all his gold for his departed
soul, but that is not accepted, for gold
not current money in He'll it would melt

He offers kingdom with all its wealth
and power, but Satan knows of the chan.
cling, shiitlcss systems of government,
the offer avails nothing.
He now offers all, wealth, power, fame,
authority, but these avail nothing, they
endure but for season No the soul is
not to be redeemed with corruptable
things such as gold and silver.
We have examined our enterprise have
run up the column of Profit and Loss, We
have seen that the gain of the world is
the loss of tho soul, and that the very
property acquired cannot be returned in
exchange for the soul.
! In view of these solemn stubborn facts
does it not behoovo us to pause in our
onward rush to destruction and ponder
the paths of our feet, and give to tho re.
ligion of.Christ that sober reflection and
God like action which its Importance de-
mands, and acquire for our immortal
souls treasures in Heaven "where neither
moth or rust doth corrupt, nor thieves
break through nor steal" And again we
ask what shall it profit man if he shall
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul? Or what will a man give in OK"

That Terrible ScOurge,

Fever and ague, and its congener, bilious
remittant, besides affections Of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels, produced by mias-
matte air and water, are both eradicated
and prevented by the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, a purely vegetable elk
ir, Endorsed by physicians, and more ex'
tensively used as remedy for the above
class of disorders, as we'll as for many
others, than any medicine of the age. A
languid circulation, torpid state Of the
liver, a want of vital stamina, are condi-
tions peculiarly favorable to malerial dis
eases. They are, however, surely RENE
died by the great Preventive, which, by
invigorating the system and endowing it
with regularity as we'll as vigor, provides
it with resistant power which enables
it to withstand disorders not only Of a
mala'ial type, but host of of others to
which feeble and i'll regulated systems
are subject The Bitters are safe as
we'll as searching eradicant, and have
widely superseded that dangerous drug
quinine, which palliates but does not
eradicate malaria. March 2.5t.

Died..

In New Orleans on Tuesday morning
February Goth, 1878, after short, painful
illness ANNIE PEyToN, beloved spouse of
NJ. J. Cunningham, Esq, in the Oath
year of her age.
We extend to our cherished friend in
this sorrowful hour of his bereavement,
onr heartfelt sympathies. We know
that all this community, where Joe Gun
ningham is so we'll, so fondly known,
join with him in grief DER his sad, sad af-
Fiction. Mrs. Annie Cunningham was in
the bloom of youthful womanhood !; a
devoted and fond wife and mother, sim
cere and cherished friend, and her early
and untimely death is a rude shock to
our whole society here, where she was
beloved by all.

1878 Of the Revised Statutes relative

(so-called) applied to US in New Orleans
last June for u situation. We at that
time had no work for him. He seemed a
very pleasant intelligent young man and
had certainly thorough knowledge Of
his business. Last month he dropped in
on us at home and, although we really
had nc Use for him we fitted him ont at
considerable expense, for canvassing
tour. He went to Sabine parish and du-
ring an absence there of twenty days con
Quoted himself in such manner as to
disgrace himself and seriously injure our
paper. We have not seen him to talk
business since he left here for the trip,
but We are fully assured he has departed
to unknown realms leaving US sadder,
wiser and poorer man by-well we can't
tell bow much, until all his receipts come
in, but we count up about one hundred

We have never seen as fine
peaches as those we have seen around
Pensacola this season. This ia not
because the season has been peculiar.
ly favorable, but because care in
selection of varieties, and attention to
culture in years lately passed, are
now developing their results in inn
proved fruit. Among the largest
and best favored peaches we see
are those on the grounds of Gen. f.
A. Perry-his residence on the hill
sands of the city we mean; not his
fertile country place. A very little
work and outlay, if intelligently di-
rected, will be repaid many fold by
the sandy lands, of the gulf coast

fertility need only a little help to sur
prise us. by their productive vigor.
