Southern Sentiments.

1t is not often that the Southern people will
speak appreciatiugly of Northern enterprise.
They treat Northern people court eously. even
cordially. it called upon at their homes, but they
do not like Northern political principles, and take
very little interest in Northern inventions and
discoveries. notable exception 10 this genera
rule Is the warm and even enthusiastic appreci.
alton with which the Southern people speak OF
DR.. Pierce's Family Remedies-a pretty sure in
dication that they possess unusual and undeni-
able remedial powers In warm climates the hui
man system is peculiarly susceptible to accumu-
lations of morbid matters. The heat tending to
diminish the action of the heart, corresponding
diminution of the activity of every member re-
suits, and unless occasionally aided by an efficient
Alternative and cathartic. the system becomes
clogged with morbid matter which it has not suf-
fcienr energy to expel. The sale of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets, for the year 1877, exceeded one mil
lion bottles in the Southern States alone.

MAKE HOME HAPPY.

More than building snowy mansions
More than dress and fine array;
More than domes and lofty steeples.
More than station, power, and sway.
Make our home both neat and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant, always fair,
Where each heart shall rest contented,
Grateful for each pleasure there.
Seek to make your home most lovely,
Let il be smiling spot
Where, in sweet cOntentment resting,
Care and sorrow are forgot.
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest song;
Where the purest thoughts will linger,
Confidence and love belong.
There each heart will rest coutented,
Seldom wishing far TO roam,
Or if roaming. still will ever
Cherish happy thong of home.
Such home makes men the better,
Sure and lasting the control,
Home with pure and bright surroundings
Leaves its impress on the soul.

Drunken Stuff.

How many children and women are
slowly and surely dying, or rather being
killed, by excessive doctoring, or the
daily use of some drug or drunken stuff
called medicine, that no one knows what
it is made of, who can easily be cured
and saved by Hop Bitters, made of Hops,
Buchu, Mandrake, Dandelion, &C., which
is so pure, simple and harmless that the
most frail woman, weakest invalid or
smallest child can trust in them. Will
you be saved by them? See other

A Railroad Train Stopped by Insects

One cricket would stand poor show
trying to stop a railroad train, but mil
lions of them can do it, as was proved
Saturday night. The western-bound
emigrant train No. met an army oil
crickets at CIarke's Station, about ff-
teen miles west of here, that night, and
was detained two hours and half try
ing to get through. To make the pas
sage, the train men were finally forced
to take brooms and sweep the insects
off the rails. The crickets covered the
track for about three miles, and when
the driving-wheels of the engine struck
them they would whirl around without
going ahead an inch.
