something 10 minister to the welfare of
the faithful animals that had borne the
heat and burden two Methodist preach

admonished us To seek some friendly
shelter. Rising reluctantly, We were
soon on our way, and soon reached MIR.
Downs, lest the rain should drench us.
Our kind friend with whom We stopped
looked wistfully nj the clouds, but alas
for him, like the priest and the Levitc,
they went by, ON the other side. In
about AN hour, We started again for
| Hawcsville, which we reached little
before night. We were cordially met
by Rev. :. &. Allen. With him and
his kind family, We passed the night
and the greater part of the next day.
About 3 O'Clock, we were of for Lewis

woman's Sweetencd Captivity.

Although shackled with disease,
raclled with pain, tormented with ago
nizing mental and physical suffering,
prostrated with chronic arrangement
and nervous debility, with a wrecked
constitution, with pale and haggard fea-
lures, dullncsS of the eye and general
paralysis of all vital energy, she looks
out with feelings of peculiar delight, as
her husband or father tells her of the
wonderful efficacy of English Female
Bitters, which he has purchased for her.
In tears she smiles and thanks him for
the sweetcned captivity. All ladies
who are afflicted with any chronic fe-
male complaint or any irregularity
should not fail to Use English Female
Bittcrs, as il is the great female rcgu-
latOr and uterine tonic of the day.

The student, the seamstress, and all 9TH

confined life, always need some mild
preparation which will relieve them of
II constipated habit and torpid livcr,and
at the same time desire something that
will not detain them from any business
avocation; one that is pleasant To take
and economical. Such an article is
"Bailey's Saline Aperient," which is
sold at 10 cents for large bottles, * just
like glass of soda water, is far superior
To gripping, nauseating pills, and never
