This Sarsaparillai is a combination of
vegetable Alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the lodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect OF
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

THE GREENBACK PARTY.
T Shreveport standard.l


Letters from Texas to the Northern
papers represent the leaders of the
Democratic party In that State us un-
easy at the growth of the Greenback
party within its limits. The few
Greenback papers In Texas keep up
such noise as perhaps to deceive
those whose Judgment is generally
cool. and safe guide. We have no idea
that the party has assumed such di-
mensions as to endanger the ascendency
of the Democratic party, although 1t
would not do to be lulled into apathy
and Indifference on the subject.
The idea of making great national
party, with principles to be carried
out, of this organization, Is tho veriest
of all chimeras. When there was some
chance of affording relief to a suffering
people, by an increase of the volume
of the currency, large proportion of
the Democratic party attempted 1t and
was only partially successful. Now
that an era of prosperity is about to
dawn the Democratic party will prob
ably wait to see If the country cannot
get along without the further enact
ment of financial measures. Undue
initiation may prove as disastrous as
undue contraction has hitherto proved.
If the Democratic party cannot modify
the financial policy of the government,
no other party can.
| The GreenbacS party has, therefore,
no chance Of getting It's financial policy
adopted. Hence, its only policy now
is to gain something for its individual
members by coalescing with any other
party that will divide the offices with
them. They vote the Democratic ticket
in Ohio, form an alliance with the
Democracy in Maine and with the Re-
publicans in Texas. If it maintains
it's organization at the South 1t will
only be by drawing the vast mass of
lis supporters from the Republican
ranks. Its only object will be to " beat
the Democrats"
| We, therefore, warn professed DOM
ocrats and Conservatives against ii.
The safety of the South depends upon
the continued ascendency of the DEM
ocratic party. If the Democratic forces
are divided there will be no obstacle
to the return of the Republican party
to power. With the original Green
back party, as an avowed national
party, we had some sympathy, because
it was aiming at reforms that were
needed, but which could only have
been reached by harmonious action
with the Democratic party. But with
the Greenback party, as disturbing
faction in politics, the Democracy
should have nothing to do.

Now lay me down to sleep;
Ipray THE Lord my soul to keep;
And If die before wake,
pray THE Lord my soul to take.
But the Evangelist says this is
wrong. We have all been wrong ;
we did not say the prayer correctly.
According to the Evangelist
"Probably there are few persons
who do not use the definite article
s'the" before the word "Lord' in the
second and fourth lines. BY so doing
they simply make an affirmation and
not an invocation. This writer, with
very good reason, holds the prayer
should be given as follows:

| If I should die before 4 wake,
! pray THEE, Lord, my soul to tnkc.'

CULTIVATE ONE TALENT.

One talent, we'll cultivated, deeponcd
and enlarged, is worth hundred
shallow faculties. The first law of sue
cess at this day, when so many matters
are clamoring for attention, is concen-
tration; to bend all the energy to ono
point, looking neither to the right nor
the left. 1t has been justly said that n
great deal of the wisdom of II man in
this country is shown in leaving things
unknown; and great deal of his
practical sense in leaving undonc. Tho
day of universal scholars is past.
"Life is short and art Is long" Tho
range of human knowledge has in
creased 80 enormously, that no brain
can grappIe with it and the man who
would know one thing we'll must have
the courage to bo ignorant of thouS-
and things, however attractive or in
viting. AS with knowledge, so with
work. The man who would get along
must single out his speciality, and into
that must pour the whole stream of his
activity-alI the energies of his hand,
eye, tongue, heart and brain. Broad
culture, many sidedness, are beautiful
things to contemplate; but it is tho
narrowedge men, the men of single
ard intense purpose, who steel their
souls against all things else, who ac-
complish the hard work OF the world,
and who are everywhere in demand
when hard work Is to be done.
