The Itock That is Higher Than I.
tn seasons of grief to my God I'll repair.
When my heart is o'erwhelmed with sorrow and care,
From the ends of the earth unto Thee will I cry,
" Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I."
Vviien Satan, the tempter, conies in like a llood.
And wonld draw my poor soul from the fountain of good,
I will gird on my armor, in faith loud I'll cry,
" Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I."
When sickness o'erwhelms me, and pain Is severe,
And none be about to comfort and clieer,
I will pray to my Saviour, who for me did die.
" Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I."
And when I have ended my pilgrimage here,
In Jesus' pure righteousuess may I appear'
In the swellings of Jordan assured I'll rely
Upon Jesus, the Rock that is higher than I.
And when the last trump shall sound through the skies.
And the dead from the dust of the earth shall arise.
With the miHions I'll Join, far above yonder sky,
To praise the dear Rock that is higher than I.

WEEDS IN GARDENS.
Nearly every garden is infested with a
number of unnecessary weeds, and that
chiefly because they are allowed to go to
seed before any serious attempt is made to
exterminate them. A single plant often
has a hundred or more seeds with which
to propogate its kind.
V hat folly, then, to complain of weeds, if
we allow them to sow themselves broad
cast over our gardens! If our needs were I
perennial plants, like the Canada thistle j
and quick-grass, the case would be differ- !
en ; bn■ they are mostly aunuals which :
need only to be k pt from ripening their
seeds to secure their extirpation. In Chi-,
na, and some portions of Europe, weeds in :
gardens are said to be almost unknown, !
simply as the result of long continued cul
tivation. A certain count}' in Pennsvlva
nia is reputed to have rid itself of the
Canada thistle, and there are gardens here
and there, in our neighborhood, in which
weeds are comparatively strangers. Seeds i
we know, will steal over and from adjoin
ing fields into the best managed gardens; j
but their number will be comparatively !
small, and the labor of keeping them in
subjection not great, if none are allowed to
go to seed in the garden itself.

This will certify that I have this day inspected two
separate lots of Catawba lirandy, one in barrels and one
in boll les, manufactured by Lauritze Lyons, and sold by
his sole agent, J. Jacob, at the Depot, No. 9a, opposite
the Burnet House, and 113 West Third street, Cincinnati,

Dear Sir I have received a bottle of Lyons' Pure
Ohio Calawha Brandy, furnished by Mr. A. Ralston, Jr.,
of Lockport, N. Y„ for anal)zation, and I find it to con- i
tain only those ingredients which exist in PLRB BRANDV. !
The proportion of alcohol obtained from it is 47.0(1. 1 j
believe this sample to be pure Brandy without adultera- 1
tion—the flavor of it is delicate and peculiar.
[Signed.] JAS. R. CHILTON, M. D , Chemist.
The OHIO CATAWBA BRANDY not only equals but
even eiieli the best imported Brandies in purity and
flavor. It is in fact the BEST Brandy known. This
statement is fully corroborated by the certificates of
many of our most distinguished analytical Chemists.
The want of pure Brandy has long been felt in this coun
try, and the introduction of an article of such quality as
to supersede the sale and use of those vile compounds
hitherto sold uuderthe name of Brandy, can only be re
garded as a great public good. The Catawba Brandy
possesses all the good qualities claimed for the best im
ported liquor, and is of perfect purity and superior flavor.
It Is therefore fully entitled to the patronage of the pub
lie. We feel confident that its reception in this Stale
will be as favorable as that which it has met with in the
Great West, and that the lime is not far distant when
the superiority of our own liquors will put an end to
their importation from abroad.
For Medicinal purposes this Brandy has no rival, and
! has long been needed. It Is a sovereign and sure reme
dy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, I.ow Spirits, Languor,
General Debility, Ac.
Also for sale, ESHELBY'B CELEBRATED STILL
AND SPARKLING CHAMPAGNE. These Wines are
made in the neighborhood of Cincinnati, and are guar
antied to be the pure juice of the grape, and are emi
nently calculated for invalids and person* who require a
gentle stimulant, and for Sacramental purposes, or as a
beverage will be found equal, if not superior, to the best
imported.

THE LIVER
, INVIGORATOR
PREPARED BY DR. BANFORD,
Compounded entirely from GEMS,
| T8 one of the bent Purgative an<l Liver Medicines now
' A before the public, that acts as a Cathartic,easier, mild
er, and more effectual than any other medicine known. It
I is not only a Cathartic, but a Liver remedy, acting first
i on the Liver to eject its morbid matter, then on the stom
ach and bowels to carry off that matter, thus accomplish
in? two purposes effectually, without any of the painful
feelings experienc d in the operations of most Cathartics.
It strengthens the system at the same time that it purges
it, and when taken daily in moderate doses will strength
: en and build it up with unusual rapidity.
! The Liver is one of the principal regulators of the
human body ; and when it perforins its functions
well the powers of thesys- . tern are fully developed.
Ihe stomach is almost en- tirely dependent on the
healthy action olTlieLiver for the proper perform
ance of its functions ; when the stomach is at
fault the bowels are at fault, and the whole sys
| fcm suffers in consequence of one organ—the
1 LlVKß— having ceased to do its duty. For the dis
eases of ttint organ, one c' 3of the proprietors lias
made it his study, in a qt} practice of more than HO
years, to find some reme- u—i dy wherewith to counter
act the many derange- inenls to which it is liable
To prove that this remedy j„ at last found, any

We would call the attention of all, old and j oung, to !
ih s wonderful preparation which turns back to its origi
nal color gray hair, covers the head with a luxuriant
| growth, removes the dandruff*, itching, and all cutaneous I
| eruptions, causes a continual flow of the natural fluids, |
| and hence, if used as a regular dressing f. r the hair will i
preserve its color, and keep it from falling to extreme old
! age 111 all its natural beauty. We call then upon the
! ,he t ra >'* °f diseased in scalp, to use it; and sorelv
| the young will not, as they value the flowing locks or lite
witching curl, eve, be without it. Its praise is upon the '
tongue of thousands. The agent for Prof Wood's Hair
Restorative in New llaven, received the follow ing letter
HI regard lo the Restorative a few weeks since:
DEEP RIVER, CONN., July 23 t
Mr. Leavenworth—SirI have heen troubled with
dandruff or si urf on uiy head for more than a year, inv
hair began to come out, scurf and hair together. I saw
in a New Haven paper about 'Wood's Hair Restorative'
as a cure. I called at your store on Ihe Ist of April last,
and purchased one bottle to try it, and I found to my sat'
isfaction it was the thing; it removed the scurf and new
hair began to grow; it is now two or three inches in
length w here it was ALL off. 1 have great faith in it I
wish you to send me two bottles more by Mr Post, the
bearer of this 1 don't know as any of the kind is used
in this place; you may have a market for many bottles i
after it is known here. Yours with respect.

PHILADELPHIA, September 9, 1856.
Prof Wood—Dear Sir:—Your Hair Restorative is pro.
ving itself beneficial to me. The front, and also the back
part ot my head almost lost its covering—in fact BALD.
i have used but twn half pint bottles of your Restorative
aid now the top of my bead is well studded with a prom
ising crop of young hair, and the front is also receiving
its benefit I have tried other preparations without any
benefit whatever. I think from my own personal recoin
memlauon I can induce many others to try it.
Yours respectfully, D. R. THOMAS, M. IV,
No. 46t Vine street.
VIXCK.NNES, I A., June 22, 1853.
Prof. O J. Wood—As you are about to manufacture
and vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative, I
will State, for whomsoever it may concern, that I have
used it and known others to use it—that I have for sev
eral years been in the habit of using other Hair Rcstora
tives, and that I find yours vastly superior to any other I
know. It entirely cleanses the head of dandruff, and
with one month's proper use will restore any person's
hair to the original youthful color and texture, giving it a
healthy, soft and glossy appearance ; and all this without
discoloring the hands that apply it, or the dress on which j
it drops. I would therefore recommend its use to every !
one desirous of having a line color and texture to hair. i
Respectfully yours, WILSON KING!

their patients but are using it themselves, personalty and
in their families. As a tonic it is unequalled, and its
properties are of so invigorating a nature that it is given
with perfect safety and success tothe most tender infants.
The Elixir is very gradual, but certain in its action upon
the organs of digestion, the increased secretions of the
liver, pancreas and mucous membranes of the stomach,
and requires that only one dose be taken in twenty-four
hours; for confirmed Dyspepsy can only be cured by 'grad
uathj restoring the organs of digestion to a healthy state
The great success met with in curing the most aggravated
cases of Dyspepsy, accompanied sometimes with a high
grade of hypochondriasis, lias established the most un
bounded confidence in Ihe curative properties of this
Elixir, in corroboration of which read the following testi
monials :
ATTESTATION —We, having used Williams' Ami Dys
peptic Elixir wilh the moat perfect satisfaction and suc
cess, take great pleasure in recommending it to all per
sons suffering with Dyspepsy, as we are fully convinced
of its most estimable qualities in restoring the digestive
powers, removing all pains and uneasiness, and impart
ing a healthy tone to the stomach.

Dr. J. Williams—Dear Sir— For fifteen years previous
to 1851, I suffered so much from dyspepsy that I became
completely prostrated both in mind and body, and a!
i length became so weakened I could not attend to my husi
I ness, and was sinking into a decline, and it was believed
| I never could recover The best medical aid was procured
| for me, and every means resorted to without any relief,
till I was advised to use your Elixir, and from the time I
began taking it 1 gradually improved till I wascompletelv
I restored to health. The dreadful sufferings 1 endured
from dyspepsy I c annot describe; but lam confident that
without the use of your Elixir I should be in my grave.
I assert that I solemnly believe your Elixir has saved me
j Irom an early death. I continue now in the enjoyment
of ruost excel em health. || SPEHRV
