Syrup

NNIh@5 b6HlhANOD
Is a medicine that was discovered by old Nrnsx
BERTRAND. who had been occupiedin sick rooms and
with the care Of sick people, for over fifty years. It
is made purely and entirely OF Plants, Herbs
and Roots, and is exceedingly agreeable and
pleasant to both the taste and smell, being warm.
aromatic and spicy. 1t is a most thorough purge,
cleaning out the bowels without pain, and without
nausea or sickcning. It docs not weaken, and leaves
the system open andfree,I never drying up the bowels
afterwards, as every other purge that We know OF
does. II can be given to infants and invalids with
safety, and in cTery case OF old or young, it Is Ruaran-
teed to cure the worst cases Of constipation, irdiges-
ton, and all diseases that affect the, stomach and
bowels. It is, moreover, a powerful stimulator and
INVIGOR .TOR OF THE LIVER. Its
effects upon the blood and humors is something real
ly astonishing, and Is much more immediate and
thorough than that of any other purifier yet discoy-
cred, having this great advantage, that when il has,
by its depurating powers, set fee in the system the
poisons OF Scrofula, Salt Rheun, Malignant Ulcerous
Sores. and Cancerous gatherings or Jumps, it instant
iy Carries them out OF the body by purging the bow
els. No other purifier does this; with all OF them
the patient must take pills, or some other equally
nauseous dose Of physic, or II they do not, the poison
remains IN the system, and goes back into the blood.
LIFE SYRUP Is exceedingly
pleasant to take, needs no second dose to purge the
bowels, and does all the work required to effect com.
plete cure.

THE CAVES OF LuRAY.-At The

THE CAVES OF LURAY.,,-At the
New York Academy of Sciences, Mon
day evening, Mr.. Isaac n. Merritt read
a paper on the newly.discoyered Luray
caverns, in Page county, va. Mr..
Merritt's paper was interesting and his
descriptions vivid. Specimens OF his
stalachtes and stalagmites. of the crys-
tails, and Of the bones Of animals, ln~
GLIDING man, which were found IN the
cave, were exhibited to the audience
at the conclusion Of the reading, Pro-
fessor J. S. New berry, OF Columbia
College, made some instructive obser-
vations on the caves which have been
discovered IN this country and in Europe.
The Luray caverns, he said, did no.
differ from those found in other places
in the p 4 States, except in their
magnitude ID interior forms. Such
caves are found wherever deposits oil
soluble limestone exist, and they arc
found in great number in Ohio, Ken
lucky and Virg inia. The peculiar lea
ture OF them which was deserving OF the
special attention of scientific men was,
said the Professor, the deposits OF an
NAL remains to be found In them. In
vestigation of these deposits in the caves
Of Europe had yielded results Of high
scientific interest, and there was no rea-
son to suppose that similar invesliga-
tons here would not. yield like fruits
At present it was field entirely new to
the scientific explorer.

The Closing Year.

The year Of our Lord 1879 is sinking
into the past. It's dim shadows al
ready begin to curtain the east and
spread its dark robe over all created
nature.
We shall soon come to its tomb, to
behold its last sepulchral rites, and to
close IFS many joyous or somber days
weeks and months, that have sped
swiftly past, Ike shadows over the
PLAN.
How crowded with events Of vast
moment to the busy family of man, is
the interim of time that falls between
the precincts oflS79 and 1880! How
many pans and sorrows, how many
conflicts and heart burnlngs, and now
many comforts and joys to many who
have endeavored to lead pure life :
And should not the experience OF days
mast. lead us to seek for the life that IS
more practicable and profitable to
aim for niger attachments TO learn that
meekness, and need of wisdom that
comes from above:
There is One who rules among the
nations, and who will carry out His
plans. whatever human interests inter-
vene.
The finger Of Providence marks the
destiny of man, and strikes down the
loved, the hopeful, the weak and the
mighty. We have been spared while
many of those who started with Us III
the beginning OF 1879 have crossed over
the dark river-the spray OF whose cold
splashing water must sometime dampon
every brow
The great and the good, the young
and the old, as well as others, have
been touched by the King OF Terrors'
We can only hope they were pre-
pared, and pray that the living may be
nro6ted by the solemn admonlton.
How BETTING time to mediate upon
the many mercies of the year. and
turn our hearts TO that Being from
whose hand .have flowed SO many
blessings for our own good!
Let us enquire what we have DONE
and what we have left undone; whom
we have benefited and whom we might
have benefited.
Now is the time to ireshen every
resolve, TO renew our hopes, and to
cleanse up rusty aspiration Let lis
adorn the New Year with bright hopes
and unyielding purposes. God grant
that as the year closes, we may al
gather round our hearths' and ENJOY
the sweet comforts Of home.
Let not the year close without Ine
ones we love being dearer to us at
heart; let not the new volume OF days
he opened till the errors Of the past be
told and forgiven-then Will we be
happy. Goo bless all who toil-whc
struggle who sincerely love each
other. Each ofus has other hearts 10
make happy, and from the lessons o!
the past let US all learn wisdom Tor the
future. Hearts will wander till rest Is
found and when that rest is found let
the door be closed, that none else enter
to mar our happiness. Nay We with
the one we truly love, in sickness OF
health, poverty or wealth, 90 hand in
hand, by day and by night. in sunshine
and storm, hopeful and happy with
trusting hearts to that land where never
comes a closing year.

school bell sessions of private academies begun,
public schools opened, and the general rustic

pencil and the hum of voices, and the merry
peals coming up from the play ground at
recess, and the healthy tints of Summer ex-
cursions still lingering on the cheeks OF busy,
fussy school marms, tell of approaching
Autumn, and worrying " sums and dry
studies for months to come 1t is tiresome,
but we wish we were back again.
