BY MISS HUNT.

Ours the fate of the vanqnished,
Whose hcartachcs novcr cease,
Oars the tears,
Regrets and fears,
Theirs the eternal peace.
Anger they dropped forever
With the passing burden Of breath,
The binc aud tho gray
Are alike today
In the colorlcss land of death.
And the living who wore the blue
May bring to the slecpcrs flowers,
For The blue aud the gray arc friends TO-DAY
Ina happier land than ours.

Pend'eton is not dead yet, nor likely 10 die,
so long rs it puts forth such evidence of lifo as
was manifested on last Saturday.
The appointed time for meeting arrived, and
numbers of children, representing the four
Sunday Schools Of The place, filed the froa,

Perhaps brighter day mover dawned on
Pendlcton: shc has had more of fading treasures,

then addressed the audience, taking "Try" for
his subject, which, together with its treatment,
was highly appreciated.
After music, wo were again addressed By Mr.
II w Johnston, of walhalla, who took "Worl"
for bis subject. 1t was certainly pleasing to
see Sunday School ,corIer take uork for his
subject and address oorSiny Sunday School.
Finally, the supcrintcn Mr. Robert Sloan,
delivered Bibles 10 two of the scholars, who had
been most successful in bringing in new scholars

Baden-Balen.

Thousands of Americans seek health during the summer months by quafling the crystal waters of some fashionable springs, while just as many sufferers remain at home through sheer necessi- ty. The Baden-Baden Springs of Ger many, are perhaps the most noted ill the world. The water of these springs is Aperient, acting pleasantly and gen. tly upon the stomach, bowels and kid ncys. The active principles of these celebrated springs have been combined, forming q beautiful white salt, which has beeen bottled for family use, and is now offered the American people under the name of Bailey's Saline Aperient at 50 cents per bottle. The salt possesses all the qualities of Baden-Baden water, is very pleasant, etferyescent and spark ling, relieving constipation, sick head ache, sour stomach, etc., at once.

Miss Clara Louise Kellogg.

Preceding Miss Kellogg's concerts the newspapers teem with favorable notices, extracts from the press, and testimonials from the late President Lincoln and others, reminding people of the power of voice possessed by one of America's sweetest singers. If your confidence be secured by such adver- tisements, why shake the head and doubt while reading the testimonials Of positive cures effected by Dr. Pierce's Fayorite Prescription It is nonsense for ladies afflicted with the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to their sex to con tinue to suffer, or to submit to the harsh and caustie treatment now in vogue. The FaVorite Prescription is sold by all druggists under positive guarantee to cure.

 Dr. T. c. Thompson, formerly of Gal weston, but now of Finlay and Thomp- son, wholesale druggists of New Or leans, unhesitatingly says, that, to his own personal knowledge and observa- tion, English Female Bitters is most wonderful medicine for the cure of chronic female complaints. He knew of case in Galveston, considered all most hopeless and resisted all medical aid from the profession. She was in- duced to try these Bitters as others had spoken of them in the highest terms, and she commenced improving at once and was finally entirely cured by their use. Similar cases are recorded all over the country and no female afflicted with any disease peculiar to her sex, should fail to use them. As uterine tonic and female regulator they have no equal, Can be used by married and single at all times.
