cams The Evils and How
Restored
In this age Of hustle and hurry, an age
devoted to great projects and enterprises,
the American people are taking the lead
in the fartherance of noble works, and in
the advancement Of the sciences and arts,
In these they deserve to take high rank,
and through the united works Of millions,
the American continent 10 fast being
transformed from its untamed state and
being placed on an equality with the older
continents beyond the ocean. The Amer
lean people are fast, under these influences
developing into nervous, energetic race;
remarkable for its vim and business quail
fcations; yet there is danger that in the
course of years these very elements may
combine to the ruination Of the physical
character of the people, and leave them
feeble and altogether different from their
forefathers. General debility is now much
more common than formerly, and seems
to be on the increase among the masses.
Many remedies have been extensively
advertised for this widespread complaints
but none of these have been SO successful
or met with such general favor as the
remedy manufactured by DR.. S. B. Hart
man, and named by him PERUNA.
Mr.. S. S. Goudy, of Massillon, Stark
county, Ohio, writes That he has been
troubled with general debility and dyspep-
STA for several years: that he was induced
to try PERUNA for his complaints, and
that after using three bottles Of the medi-
cine he was greatly relieved. II braced
him right up and gave him energy and
restored him to his youthful vigor. He
ascribes his cure to PERUNA, and says 1t
10 a wonderful remedy.

AT the late meeting of the California
State Teachers Association A. L. Ban
croft delivered lecture on proposed

says: previous to the address charts
were distributed showing the proposed
San Francisco alphabet for revised En-
glish spelling. 1854 This shows q
scheme of thirteen vowels, four diph-
thongs and twenty-four consonants.
The system may be summed up prac-
tieally in the statement that it is short
hand written in long way. The char.
acters, apart from the ordinary alpha,
bet, resemble ordinary letters now in
use generally. Mr.. Bancroft explained
the chart at length, and claimed for the
San Francisco alphabet o variety Of

Faith.

There is nothing in all this world
that has ever led man on to real VIC
tory but faith. Faith is that looking
forward to q future with something
like certainty that raises man above
the narrow feelings of the present. -
Even in this Life he is q greater man,
man of more elevated character,
who is steadily pursuing plan that
requires some years to- accomplish,
than he who is living by the day
Look forward but ten years, and plan
for il, live for it; there is something
OF manhood, something of courage
required to- conquer the thousand
thingsthat stand in your way. And
therefore it is that faith, and nothing
but faith, gives victory in death. It
is that elevation of character which
we get from looking steadily and for
ever forward till eternity becomes q
real home to- Us, that enables us to
look down upon the last struggle,
and the funeral and the grave, not as
the great endof all, but only as some
thing that stands between us and the
end. We are conquerOrs of death
when we are able to look beyond it.
Religious faith ever dreams of
something higher, more beautiful,
more perfect, than the state Of things
with which it feels itself surrounded.
Ever day-future lies before it; the
evidence for which is It's own hope.
Abraham, by that creative faith, saw
the day Of Christ and was glad.
Joseph saw his family in prosperity,
even in sff1uence; but he felt that this
was not their rest. A higher life than
that of afiuence, a nobler destiny
than that Of stagnant rest, there must
be for them IN the future, else all the
anticIpations OF q purer earth and a
holier world, which imagination
bodied forth within his soul, were
empty dreams, not the munitions Of
Gods Spirit It was this idea of per-
lection, which was 1.-THE substance OF
things hoped for" that carried him
far beyond the period Of his own
death and made him feel himself q
partaker OF his nations blessed future.
Its the eagle eye Of faith which
penetrates the grave, and sees FAR into
the tranquil things Of death.-Robe,f-
son.

Public Roads.
From Planters Johrnal.l

From Planters Journal
We have heretofore several times
in these columns urged upon the at
tentien of the people the wisdom of
making good public roads. The
farmer is directly interested in secur-
ing good roads. because he has to
travel over them, whether going on
business or pleasure. The towns are
indirectly interested in the question,
for the more easily the products of
labor reach q market the livelier and
freer trade is. The season of the
annual road-workings is now at hand,
and road-overseers should use their
utmost efforts to get the highways in
good condition. Probably the most
important point to be gained-and it
is the one usually least considered
is the proper drainage of the contigu-
GUS land to the road. In the first
place the road-bed should be graded
SO as to slope from the centre towards
each side. Should the surrounding
land be low and fiat, bitches must be
cut to carry off the water, else work
will be thrown away in raising a
grade. For, if water stands constant
ly on both sides, the roadway must
become wet and with the passage of
wagons and other vehicles over it be
cut into holes or worked into an inn
passable bog. Il is admitted that the
road laws generally are defective and
inadequate, and the greatest vigilance
and activity can only partially attain
the end sought, good roads. But
here and there a county Board of
Supervisors or parish Police Jury
have the wisdom to supplement the
general law by special legislation, and
thus secure the inestimable benefit of
good roads to their communities
A few scrapers and plenty of shovels,
furnished by the county or parish,
and a good deal of attention and
supervision by the officers themselves,
will be found wise and economical
expenditures, both of money and
time. One of the greatest needs OF
the South is the immigration of small
farmers agricultural industrialists,
who. to quote homely saying, '1ive
at home and board at the same place. -
The attention of such men in all
parts of the world is turning towards
as, and that community which offers
such inducements as good public
roads and public schools win secure
them as citizens. Good public roads
are public blessing, conducive tc
the prosperity and happiness OF the
people. Let unusual efforts be made
toward securing such this summer
and fall"

The dog question is coming to the
front. Some Of the papers are dis
icussing it. The movement against
the tyrsnnical rule Of the dogs has
begun in several States. Do not let
it abate. Every man in Louisiana,
rich or poor, is interested in this ques-
tion. Dogs are expensive, destrnc-
live and of little utility. The damage
they do each year is Incredible, and
the good, almost infinitesimal. The
owner of good, useful dog should
be willing to pay tax on it, il it is
worthless it is nuisance and should
be abated.

The silver question will be promi-

Mr.. Warner has prepared bill as q
substitute for the present silver coin
age bill. The entire question is q
contest between those who think we
have too much silver in circulation
and wish the issue of silver dollars
stopped and those who believe silver
and gold can float together as money,
and thereby utilize our large silver
production. The silver dollar cannot
be "disfranchised, and silver as mon
ey is popular. It has come to stay
and our national lawmakers ought
to recognize that fact and legislate
accordingly. An inAexible coinage
act may be wrong, if it is, correct it,
but do not expatriate the silver dollar.
