WHAT FLAG SHALL WAVE?
What flag shall wave, when from on high,
Disunion drags our ensign down,
And where its stars now deck the sky,
Deep °loads of hate shall darkly frown?
What hand, to rend that flag, shall dare,
When all may claim the Nation's sign?
And not a gleam of glory there,
But each proud State may say 'tie mine!
'Tis mum, 'tis thine, 'tis theirs, us ours,
We all have trusted in its might,
And in the Nation's darkest hours,
Our Fathers bore it thro' the tight.
The memories of the past are there,
Fast clinging to each silken fold:
The pious hope, the vow, the prayer,
From hearts and lips now hush'd and cold.
Our Sires' strong faith, their war-wortt years,
Their dying groans, their conquering ory,
Their orphans' wail, their widows' tears,
Great WASIIINGTON, there wrote on high.
His snored shade, in wild alarm,
Wottld call that traitor band to stop,
As onoe God's angel stayed the arm
Of Abram, on the mountain top.
And vale to vale, and ()rag to crag,
'The deep-toned cures would echo far,
On him who rends the Union's flag,
Or from its azure strikes a star.
Then, patriots, since one flag alone
Belongs to this, our Fathers' land,
Still let that one, which o'er them shone,
Shine on their eons, a brother band,
Still let it shine! Its hues shall be
A bow of promise to their eyes,
Verarohing wide, from sea to sea,
The noblest land beneath the skies.

HOME
BY MRS LYDIA 11. SIGOURNEY
Some critical people who have watched our sex
at informal visits, sewing societies, eta., assert, that
after current gossip is despatched, the most fervent
talking is about home, children, and servants.
Very well. ' Are they not nice themes, and caps
of copious illustration ?
Let's try the first of the three,--lionte. What
other Saxon word of few letters suggests stronger
or more varied imagery? To the thirsting tra
veller in the tropics, it brings back the trickling
of the cold water, and the creak of the well-sweep
at his father's shaded door. The sea-boy shuts it
firmly in his heart, as-he rocks on the giddy'mast.
The western emigrant hastens to nail the last
board on his shanty, that he may speak it again
to his wife and little ones. Itcontents the Green
lander, as he creeps into his subterranean cell, and
the Switzer climbing to his bird's-nest lodge
auinog the cliff.
Why does yonder fair school-girl fly with such
a fairy foot ? She is packing her trunk for home.
What kindles such exultation on the student's
brow, as he mounts the rapid ear? Home and
vacation. Side by side, in the soul of the sick
voyager, returning to his native, land to die, are
two words, home and heaven. -
And how is it any weakness or want of taste,
that this home; this place of repose and refresh
ment, this nursery and garner of the affections and
virtues, should be the central point in woman's
heart? It would be a derogation if it were not
so. It is committed to us as our own sphere;—
lot us give thanks for it. Where else could we
find or impart so much happiness? Do we some
times covet a more lofty or exposed position? If
admitted to the disturbed political 'arena, should
we riot lose more than we gain ? and forfeit things
of peculiar value to ourselves, for the uncertain
acrptisition of those that are not.
What should we do at the head of our armies?
The shade of lhadicea answers. What steerage
should we make in the navigation and command
of a ship-? The ghosts of those at the bottom of
'Abe sea would probably reply. In our own quiet
and assured realm, in the study of its polity, in
the promotion of its welfare, is our own safety,
satisfaction, and glory. Need we seek higher ho
nor:, or purer happiness, than appertain to what
the poet of lost Paradise has defined as
itThe sacred and homefelt delight,
The sober certainty of waking bliss."
Sad, indeed, is the condition of the homeless.
A cadence more mournful' than I can describe
dwells in . my memory; the tones of a woman
wllw.e prime of days was past, and whose reason
faltered. Continually was she repeating, in thrill
ing recitative, as she rocked her body to and fro—
"No home! No home!"
Broken snatches of what in better years she had
read from her Bible lingered with her, and she
sometimes murmured, "Poxes have holes,: and
birds of the air have nests"—
The rest she had forgotten. But back came
the burden of the heart-dirge with added force—
"No home! No home!"
To obviate so fearful a calamity, Christian Cha
rity labors without weariness in her Master's
strength, She erects domes, and endows and con
secr,►tes them, and gathers the old and helpless,
and the outcast wandering orphan, that they may
find under the shadow of her wing the semblance
of LI home.
We, who possess such a treasure in fee-simple,
how can we best express our gratitude? Should
not our first thought be,
how to render it happy?
This cannot be' successfully done without studying
its polity. No code of laws can be well adminis
tered, if not understood and appreciated.
The minor modes of consulting its welfare some
times fail of receiving due attention. I knew a
lady who made a pleasant home with small means
and a restricted space. She cherished the per
cept ion of beauty. If there was a crevice in which
to plant a vine, she placed it there. It clasped
its little prop, and gave her a cluster. Where
there was no room for a flower.bed, she set a root
of pansies, and they looked up and blessed her.
She managed to plant two trees. They were con
tent with their narrow quarters, and reached her
some fruit for the rent, and a nest of living song
birds took tenantry among their branches. She
discovered that the rural element harmonized with
home happiness.
Domestic anniversaries are a species of enjoy
ment especially , salubrious to a money-seeking
and care-marked people. Some of these usages
are have borrowed from our friends, the Germans,
who, more than most other races, seem in posses
sion of the secret of quiet, unostentatious home
happiness. We have taken from their teaching
that beautiful festival of the "Golden Wedding,"
which makes the old younger, by the renovation
of their brightest life passage,—and the young
wiser by impressing the example of those hallowed
vit tues which through the changes of half a cen
tury have disarmed toil of its trouble, and sorrow
of its sting. At a recent festivity of this nature,
one of our own poets (l)r. J. G. Holland) thus me
lodiously sang:—
" The little ones have come and gone,
The old have passed away ;
But love, Immortal love, lives on
And blossoms 'mid decay;
0 chain of love! 0 ring of gold!
That have the years defied,
And still with growing strength infold
The old man'and his, bride.
" The golden bridal! Hark! how sweet
The music of its bell,
To those whose hearts the vows repeat
Their lives have kept so well
0 chain of love! 0 ring of gohll
0 marriage true and tried!
That bind with tenderness untold
The old man and his bride."
The " Silver Wedding," or the twenty-fifth
anniversary, we derive from the same Teutonic
Houree, and also that denominated "The Dia
mond," or the sixtieth anniversary, which so few
la this uncertain pilgrimage con hope to celebrate.
I am told that ingenuity has recently. devised in
termediate festivals, by dividing into half-decades
the period antecedent to the "Silver Wedding."
Thus, the fifth is denominated the wooden,—the
tenth, the tin,—the fifteenth, the glass,—the twen
tieth, the China,—designating the character of the
gifts to be presented by the guests. Those who
have attended these congratulatory occasions speak
of them as peculiarly agreeable, and tending to pro
, mote both domestic and social happiness.
Home reveal's heightened charms after an occa
sional absence. How unspeakably do they brighten
at our return. One of the chief benefits of Jour
neying, to our sex, may be to deepen the sense of
its attractions and the love of, its duties. We may
havd been cheered by visits to relatives and friends,
—gay at the watering-place, or delighted by the
scenery of wider exploration. But the 'welcome
Koine is worth them all. The sight of our own roof
tree, however homble, the greeting of the faithful
servant, the seat upon the sofa at twilight, one
hand in that of our best beloved,—the child climb
ing to our knee, bring a home-thrill that surpasses
all outer joy. Even amid foreign lands, and the
strong associations of classic climes, the waving of
the trees in our own far-off lawn, the flitting of the
garments of the little ones playing beneath them,
have been suddenly shaken before us by Meitiory,
eclipsing the gorgeous palace, or castle, or temple
where we wandered. •
We have felt anew that the pleasures of home
outweighed the excitements of curiosity, the flat
teries of fame, and the enticements of worldly ho
nors. For the life of woman is in the heart.
The, smile, the sweet voice,, the kind word, ,the
self•forgetful services of love, these are the home
flowers that we would ever wear in our bosom.
Obeying the injunction of the eloquent apostle, to
"learn to show piety at home," may our earthly
dwelling-place foreshadow that object of our high
est aspiration,—"a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens."
THE TWO HOMES
An exchange bas the following tale from real
life, which contains an important lesson. Sad
hearts are often made sadder unwittingly. A little
more wisdom, discernment, and foresight, would
spare many sighs:
Two men on their way home met at a street
crossing, and then walked on together. They were
neighbors and friends.
" This has been a very hard day," said Mr. Free
man, in a gloomy voice. And as they walked
homeward, they discouraged each other, and made
darker the elands that obscured their whole hori
zon.
" Good evening," was at last said hurriedly; and
the two men passed into their homes.
Mr. Walcott entered the room where his wife
and children were gathered, and, without speaking
to any one, seated himself in a chair, and, leaning
his head back, closed his eyes. His countenance
wore a sad, weary, exhausted look. He had been
seated thus for only a few minutes when his wife
said in a feaiful voice:
"More trouble again!"
" What is the matter now?" asked Mr. Wal
cott, almost starting.
"John has been sent home from school!"
"What?" Mr. Walcott partly rose from his
"He has been suspended for bad conduct."
"Oh, dear!" groaned Mr. Walcott. "Where is
he?"
"Up in his room; I sent him there as soon as
he came home. You'll have to do something
with him. He'll be ruined if he goes on in this
way. I'm out of all heart with him."
Mr. Walcott, excited as much by the manner
in which his wife conveyed the unpleasant infor
mation as by the information itself, started up,
under the blind impulse of the moment, and going
to the room where John had been sent on coming
home from school, punished the boy severely, and
this without listening•to the explanation which the
poor child tried to make him hear.
" Father," said the boy, with forced calmness,
after, the cruel stripes bad ceased, "I wasn't to
blame, and if you will go with me to the teacher,
I can prove myself innocent."
Mr. Walcott had never known his son to tell an
untruth, and the words fell with a rebuke upon
his heart.
44 Very well, we will see about that," he an
swered with forced sternness and, leaving the
room, be went down stairs, feeling much more un
comfortable than when he went up. Again he
seated himself in his large chair, and again leaned
back 'his weary bead and closed his heavy eye
lids. Sadder was his face than before. As be
sat thus, his eldest daughter, in her sixteenth year,
came and stood by him. he had a paper in her
hand.
"Father," he opened his eyes; "here's my
quarter's bill. Can't I have the money to take to
school with me in the morning?"
"I am afraid not," answered Mr. Walcott, half
in despair.
"Nearly all the girls will bring their money to
morrow, and it mortifies me to be behind the
others." The daughter spoke fretfully. Mr.
Walcott waved her aside with his hand, and she
went off muttering and pouting.
"It is mortifying," said Mrs. Walcott, a little
sharply; "and I don't wonder that Helen feels
annoyed about it. The bill has to be paid, and I
don't see why it may not be done as well first as
last."
To this Mr. Walcott Made no answer. The
words but added another pressure to the heavy
burden under which he was already staggering.
After a silence of some moments, Mrs. Walcott
said:
" The coals are all gone."
"Impossible!" Mr. Walcott raised his head
and looked incredulous. - " I laid in sixteen tons."
"I can't help it if there were sixty tons instead
of sixteen; they are'all gone The girls had hard
work to-day to scrape up enough to keep the fire
in."
‘‘There's been a shameful waste somewhere,"
said Mr. Walcott, with strong emphasis,, starting
up and moving about the room with a' very..dia
turbed manner.
" So you always say when anything runs out,"
answers Mrs. Walcott, rather tartly. "The bar
rel of flour is gone also; but I suppose you have
done your part with the rest, in using it up.
Mr. Walcott returned to his chair, and again
seating himself, leaned back his head and closed
his eyes as at first. How sad and weary and hope
less he felt! The burdens of the day had seemed
almost too heavy for him; but he had borne up
bravely. To gather strength fora renewed strug
gle with adverse circumstances, he had come 'Mine.
Alas that the progress of exhaustion should still go
on that where only strength could be looked for on
earth, no strength was given !
When the tea_ bell was rdug, Mr. Walcott made
no movement to obey the summons.
"Come to supper;" said his wife, coldly. Bu ,
he did not stir.
"Are you not coming to supper?" she called
to him, as she was leaving the room.
"I don't wish for anything this evening. My
head aches very much," he answered.
"In the dumps again," muttered Mrs. Walcott
to herself. "It's as much as one's life is worth
to ask for money, or to say anything is wanted."
And she kept on her way to the dining-room.
When she returned, her husband was still sitting
where she had left him.
"Shall I bring you a cup of tea?" she asked.
" No, I don't wish for anything."
What's the matter, Mr. Walcott? What do
you look so troubled about, as if you hadn't a
friend in the world ?. What bays I done to you ?"
There was no answer, for there was not a shade
of real sympathy in the voice that made the que
ries, but rather of querulous dissatisfaction. A
few moments Mrs. Walcott stood behind her hus
band, but as he did not seem inclined to answer
questions, she turned away from him, and resumed
the employment which had been interrupted by
the ringing of the tea-bell.
The whole evening passed without the occurrence
of a single incident that gave a healthful pulsation
to the sick heart of Mr. Walcott. No thoughtful
kindness was manifested by any member of the
family, but, on the contrary, a narrow regard for
self, and a looking to him only that he might sup
ply the means of self-gratification.
No wonder, from the pressure which was on hiin
ameriratt frrobitirian and 111 tntoet evanieligt.
that Mr. Walcott felt utterly discouraged. He
retired early, and sought to find that relief from
mental dipquietude in sleep, which he had vainly
hoped for in the bosom of his family. But the
whole night passed in broken slumber and dis
turbing dreams. From the cheerless morning
meal, at which he was reminded of the quarter's
bill that must be paid, of the coals and flour that
were out, and of the necessity of supplying Mrs.
Walcott's empty purse, he went forth to meet the
difficulties of another day, faint at heart, almost
hopeless of success. A confident spirit, sustained
by home affections, would have carried him through;
but, unsupported. as he was,
the burden was too
heavy for him, and he sank under it. The day
that opened so unpropitiously closed upon him a
ruined man!
Let us look for a few moments upon Mr. Free
`man, a friend and neighbor of Mr. Walcott. He,
also, had' come home weary, dispirited and almost
sick. The trials of the day had been unusually
severe, and When he looked anxiously forward to
scan the future, not even agleam of light was seen
along the black horizon.
As he stepped across the threshold of his dwell
ing, a pang shot through his heart, for the thought
came, how slight the present hold upon all these
comforts. Not for himself, but for his wife and
children was the pain.
"Father's come!" cried a glad little voice on the
stairs the moment his footfall sounded iu the pas
sage; then quick, pattering feet were heard, and
then a tiny form was springing into his arms.
Before reaehicg the sitting room above, Alice, the
eldest daughter, was by his side, her arm drawn
fondly within his, and her loving eyes lifted to his
face.
"Are you not late, dear?" it was the gentle
voiceof Mrs. Freeman. •
Mr. Freeman could not trust bimaelf to answer.
He was too deeply troubled in spirit to assume at
the moment a cheerful time, and he had no wish
to sadden the hearts that loved him, by letting the
depression from which he was, suffering become too
clearly apparent. But the eyes of Mrs. Freeman
saw quickly below the surface.
"Are you not well, Robert?" she inquired, ten
derly, as she tlew his large arm-chair toward the
centre of the room.
"A little headache," he answered, with a slight
evasion,
Scarcely was Mr. Freeman seated ere a pair of
bands was busy with each foot, removing gaiter
and shoes, and supplying their place with a soft
slipper. There was not one in the household who
did not feel happier for his return, nor one who
did not seek to render him a kind office.
It was impossible, under such a burst of heart
sunshine, for the spirit of Mr. Freeman long to
remain shrouded. Almost imperceptibly to him
self gloomy thoughts gave place to more cheerful
ones, and by the time tea was ready he had half
forgotten the fears which had so haunted him
through the day.
But they could not be held back altogether, and
their existence was marked' during' the evening by
an unusual silence and abstraction of mind. This
was observed by Mrs. Freeman, who, more than
half suspecting the cause, kept back from her hus
band the knowledge of certain matters about
which she bad intended to speak to him, for she
feared they would add to his mental disquietude.
During the evening she gleaned from something,
be said the real cause of his changed aspect. At
once her thoughts commenced running in a new
channel. By a few leading remarks she drew her
husband into conversation on the subject of home
expenses. and the propriety of restriction in va
rious points. Many things were mutually pro
nounced superfluous and easily to be dispensed
with, and before sleep fell soothingly on the heavy
eyelids of Mr. Freeman that night, an entire change
in their style of living had been determined upon
—a change that would reduce their expenses at
least one-half.
" I see light ahead," were the hopeful words of
Mr. Freeman, as be resigned himself to slumber.
With renewed strength of mind and body and
a confident spirit, he went forth the next day—a
day that he had looked forward to with fear and
trembling. And it was only_ through this renewed
strength and confident spirit that he was able to
overcome the difficultiei that loomed up, mountain
high, before him. Weak despondency would
have ruined all. Rome had proved his tower of
strength—his walled city. Strengthened for the
conflict he had gone forth again into the world, and
conquered in the struggle.
"I see light ahead," gave place to " the morning
breaketh."
THE SINAITIC -MANUSCRIPT.
The recent discovery by Professor Tischendorf
of a biblical manuscript of great value has been
repeatedly, mentioned in the papers. Our readers
may be interested in a more particular account,
extracted from his own statements, regarding it.
His first journey to the East in 1844, led him to
'the Conreiit of Saint Catherine at Mount Sinai.
As he was there rummaging in a basket of torn and
mutilated fragments of manuscripts which had
been thrown aside as useless, and were destined to
the flames, he drew forth several pages of a very
ancient copy of the Septuagint. A few, which
were the least seemly, he was allowed to take with
him. But the monks, who thus suddenly obtained,
some idea of their value, refused to part with the
others, containing Isaiah entire, first and fourth:
Maccabees; and portions of other books. In his
second visit, in 1853, he was-not able to find these
precious fragments, nor to learn anything respect
ing them, whence he was led to suppose that some
one elskhad obtained them and carried them to
Europe. On the 31st of January, 1859, he visited
St. Catherine for the third time. He had already
sent his servant for camels, and made his arrange
ments to leave for Egypt on the 7th of February;
when, upon the 4th, in a walk with the Superior
of the convent, be spoke of the Septuagint, and of
his own edition of it,,cppies of which, as well as
of the New Testament, he had brought to present
to the monks. On returning from the walk they
entered the Superior's chamber, - who remarked
that he possessed the Septurint, and laid it beftire
him wrapped in a cloth. Upon opening it be saw
what he had never ventured tcihope for, the oldest
Greek manuscript in existence. There were the
identical pages which he had snatched from de
struction in 1844, with" a goodly number more,.
forming together a considerale portion of the Old
Testament; and what was more precious still, a
perfect copy of .the New Testament, Tie Minima
quidern, laeina deformatum, to which was added
the Epistle of Barnabas complete, and the first
part of the Pastor, neither of which was previously
known to be extant in Greek. The volume, or
rather fragments of a volume, for many of the,
leaves were,torn, and there was no cover but the.
cloth, he , at:once took to his own room, by per
missioti Of - the Superior. The first night was spent*
in transcribing the :Epistle of Barnabas, quippe
dormire nefas videbotar. On the next day he
came to an agreement with the monks that, upon
the receipt of an order from their superiors at
Cairo, this manuscript should be sent thither to be
transcribed. , - •
. .
Tisch endorf reached Cairti''on thenth of Febru
ary, and by the 24th he had the coveted treasure
in his hands. Within two months the whole Co
dex, containing.upwards of one hundred thousand
verses, was transcribed by himself, with such help
as lie could obtain from a couple of friends; whose
work he revised letter by letter. The difficulty
of the task was greatly enhanced by the careful
examination necessary in about eight thousand
placescontaining corrections, which, though ancient
were of a date posterior to the. text.: :Meanwhile,
the monks of Sinai were persuaded to offer the ori
ginal manuscript to the Russian emyetor, Alexan
der 11., and - er whose auspices this journey was
undertaken. As the archbishop of their order was
dead, however,•and his unanimously elected suc
cessor had not yet been consecrated, on account of
the oppoSition of a pretender to the place, the col
lege consented that Tischendorf might take the
manuscript to St. Petersburgh, in order to prepare
an accurate edition of its text, and that it might
be regarded as a temporary loan, until the arch
bishops should signify in their name that the gift
was perpetual. With this, understanding the ma
nuscript was surrendered to him at Cairo, Septem
ber 28.
The manifold absurdities, abnormities, and evils
which flow from the doctrine of secession, afford
a sufficient proof of its unsoundness.. These have
of late been abundantly presented in the public
prints. The United States gave fifteen millions of
dollars for Louisiana, for the express purpose of se
curing command of tke,lississippi river. Accord
ing to the doctrine, 0. - Secession Louisiana may
secede", and the Whole-itaantage of the purchase
be lost.. Ten millions were paid for Texas, thou
sands of lives and millions of dollars were expend
ed in,the Mexican war for her security, and the
acquisition of California. Five millions were paid
for Florida, one hundred and twenty millions have
been offered for Cuba., It is absurd to suppose
that our government eat be founded on the theory
of secession, and yet the people be willing to spend
such enormous sums f‘qr territory to which they
would acquire no title. ;" If the right exists, it be
longs to all the states and at all times. The coun
try may be engaged in a perilous war, and one
half the states may legally secede and leave the
remainder to bear the consequences. Suppose
Louisiana:or Texas had seceded in the rear of our
army during the Mexican war, and cut off our re
sources. "Would that have been a legal procedure?
Or if the whole people should join in making the
Pacific railroad, may Missoiii and California at
its termini secede, and keep it all to themselves?
Such are some of the consequences of this theory.
It is refuted by the argumentum ad absurdrent.
Secession, as Mr. Madisonsays, is revolution, and
revolution is rebellion, and rebellion is at least
illegal. 'Whether to r ease morally right, de-,'
,pends on cirdtimstance_ifs....4-5.56-fter, , - 13 , Tit
tolerable oppression an 'injustice, it is one of the
greatest of crimes. That the Southern states'axe
not oppressed, is plain 4om their own declaration.
They boast of their prosiwrity and power. They
claim to be the richest portion of the Union.
They contrast their $200,000,000 of exports with
the $1.00,000,000 exported from the North. Geor
gia has doubled her taxable property in the last
ten years. The same general prosperity prevails
throughout the South., : -
The North has not broken faith with the South
as to fugitive slaves. The Federal Government,
which alone has the right to restore them, has
never refused to do so. The The difficulty is not in
any breach of faith. It ; is in the nature of the ,
service. Men at the North are willing to let the
General Government do the mrk, but they do not
choose to be made slave-atchers themselves. The
present fugitive slave lair Could not be executed
efficiently at the South, x.cept by federal officers.
We should like to see enator Chestnut or the
Hon. Mr. Rhett called o join in the pursuit of a
fugitive slave. They wquld do what men here do.
They would say, the wok must be done, but let
those whose business it is see to it. Neither op
pression nor injustice Win pleaded in justifica
tion of disunion. Distiliien was determined upon
for other reasons; these complaints are used to
inflame the public mind. We do not doubt that
many excellent , men, tit" by sincere Christians at
the South, have been br ught to believe that se
cession is legally and Da ally right. But it is no
new thing in the histor of the world that great
crimes have been though right. There never was
an auto dct fe which w snot sanctioned by the
ministers of religion. T e greatest crimes have
. . . -
.
been perpetrated by thoS. who thought they'were
doing God service. Th fact, therefore, that good
men approve of secession that they pray over dis
union, that they rise fro their knees and resolve
to commit the parricidal et, does not prove it to
be right. It only prov how perverted the hu
man mind may become tinder the influence of
passion and the force of pular feeling.

by similar obstructions and derangements of the natural functions
of the body, they are rapidly, and many of them surely, cured by'
the same means. None who know the virtues of these Pills, will

for the cure of bilious complaints than any one remedy I can men

ever Mute you made them, and cannot hesitate to say they are the
best cathartic we employ. lTheir regulating action on the liver is
quick and decided, consequently they are an: admirable remedy for

bilious disease so obstinate that it did not readily yield to them.

they should join me in proclaiming it for the benefit of the multi•

MESSRS. FARREL ' 'HERRING & Co.,
629 Chestnut Street.
Garrrt.rwerr:—We have recovered the Herrings
Patent Champion Safe, of your make, which we bought
from you nearly five years ago, from the ruins of our
building, No. 716 .Chestuut street, which was entirely
sleitroyed by fire on the morning of the 17th inst.
So rapid was the progress of the flames, before we
could reach the store, the whole interior was one mass
of fire. The Safe being in the back part of the store,
and surrounded by the most combustible materials, was
exposed to great heat. It fell with the walls of that
part of the building into the cellar, and remained im
bedded in the ruins for more than thirty hours.
The Safe was opened this morning iti the presence of
a number of gentlemen, and the contents, comprising
our books, bills, receivable money, and a large amount
of valuable papers, are all safe; not a thing was touched
by fire
Respectfully, yours,
THEO. H. PETERS t CO.
The above Safe can be seen at our store, where the
public are invited to call and examine it.

The most horrible rases of SCROFULA, in which the FAO; Bona,
and MOM of the victim have been preyed upon by the insatiable
disease, are proved, by the undeniable authority of the sufferem
themselves, to have been completely cured by these purely Yege•
table Medicines, after all others bate been Arend more than useless.
Obstinate cases of PILES, of many years' standing, have rapidly
and permanently yielded to the earl:Nemeses, and other of like kind
are daily cured in every part ef this country.
Habitual, as well as Occasional Costiveness, Dyspepsia, Baious and
Liver Diseases," Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fever and Ague,
Worms, Settled Pains in the Lim k, •
Together with a long catalogue of other maladies, are shown, on
the same indisputable evidence, to be every where and invariably
eaterniinated by these mildly operating, yet sure and speedy re.
sources of health and strength, without the usual aid of puffery and
artificial recommendations.
air " Moffat's Vegetable Life Pills and Plicentx Bitters" here thus
acquired a solid and enduring reputation, which bids defiance to
contradiction, and which is co-extensive with the American pope
,
Wien.

In their operation, and effectually cleanse the system of all impuri
ties without occasioning any prostration of strength, or requiring
