Clauses Struck Out of the Declaration

Harpers Weekly.
 Amid the innumerable orations that were delivered on the Fourth of July, how many pointed out the memorable difference between the text of the e. claration of Independence as signed. and the original draught. or recalled the cir cumstances under which the change was made, and drew attention to the momen- tous consequences thereof. The verbal all terations made in the Declaration, as penned by Jefferson, were unimportant, and of the two passages omitted, one, which censured the British People for up holding the King and Parliment in acts of usurpation, was omitted, lest such sweeping reproduction should give offense to the English friends of the colonies, who, though greatly outnumbered. were outspoken and unflinchirg. The elision of this passage was wise, for, within seven years. the friends of the colonies were to become d majority Of the House of Commons.
 The other clause which was stricken out of Jeffersons draught was of tre- mendous prospective moment md. had 1t been suffered t. stand. could not have been reconcilcd with the peipctuation of slavery under the Federal Constitution which was framed in l7S1.
 In that rejected clause Jefferson had arraigned King George III, for wlsius cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the person of distant people who never offended him, capturing and carrying them into slavery ill all other hemisphere or to incur miserable deaths in their transportation thither, T his piratical warfare. the opprobrhm of irHGel powers was. sIid Jefferson, the warfare of the Christian King of Greet Britain.

MELANCHOLIA
Il a Psrilous Disease and One That
Leads to Insanity.
Paine's
Celery Compound
Has Saved Thousands Of Melan-
oholists From the Grave.

Molancholia is a grave disease; 1t
has q tendency to induce suicide and
homicide; In many cases 1t leads to
dread insanity. The first important
symptoms Of ordinary melancholia
is sleeplessness. Another symptom
Of the greatest Importance is a dull
pain In the back Of the neck, extend
ing to the back Of the head. Then
we see other symptoms, such as de-
preston Of spirits. slow mental and
muscular movements, retarded
speech, terrifying Authorizations,
aversion to food and a disregard Of
life. Every case Of melsncholia is
directly traceable to q weakness or
collapse Of the nervous system. The
nerve branches Of the sympathetic
system, the spinal column and brain,
are not doing their work, and the
blood is thin, sluggish or impure.
Paine's Celery Compound is the
great rescuer and life builder for
every melancholic victim. As Q
nerve food, this marvellous Com
pound quickly imparts nourishment
and life to the weak and iamished
nerves, after which comes new
vitality--a feeling that life Is precious
and worth living. The stomach,
liver and Kidneys are toned. diges.
ton becomes perfect, natural appe-
tite 10 bestowed, and sweet, refresh
ing sleep conduces to q vigorous
health. Paines Celery Compound
has saved more melancholic and ner-
vons sufferers than oil other COM
bined agencies. Do not treat the
symptoms Of melancholla with in
difference. Begin today with Paine's
Celery Compound, and avoid the
perils that drag to insanity and the
grave.
