__Thou Shalt . Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself,
*QM, 18:
In response to your kind invitation, I ap
eheibre you to-day to conduct the devo
tions of your thanksgiving services, Itis
a good thing to give thanks unto the Lo r,
and you have acted well and wisely in set
ting apartthis day to holy purposes and in
thus assembling yourselves together to ren
der thanksgiving and praise to Almighty
God. • The setting apart of a day for these
purposes is, I believe, a new feature in the
Dietary of your Order, but you have been
moved thereto by new and painful develop
ments in our motional life, which have
marked a period of sundered ties, broken
fellowships and not a little of the spirit of
hatred and cruel antagonism. In the pro
gressof our national history, we have lately
poised through a fearful and bloody oriels,
but now, that the tocsin of war has ceased
to be heard in the land, husbands and
fathers and brothers are no longer called
away from fond effibraces, at the stern de-
Mantis of country's need, and now, save
that the edges of old national wounds are
h inflamed, peace has, in at
least a large and practicable measure, been
restored to the land. Old friendships and
business relations are being rapidly renew
ed, the old ties of, love and association, be
tween the people of the different sections
of our country, are being rapidly re
cemented. The sublime unity of our
nationality, not' In name only but in
deed and in truth, seems in the process of
being evolved, from the severe school of
trouble through which we have passed. A
larger and grander spirit of humanity and
fraternity seems to have been wrought out
in the bloody throes of a nation's agony.
The true manhood of man, the universal
brotherhood of the race, and as well the
common Fatherhood of God, in His late
dealings with us, are stirring facts 'im
pressed upon our minds and more inwoveu
with our modes of thought and being. Our
late civil conflict hue thus not been without
its blessings. It has served to enlarge our
sympathy . with suffering, to elevate our
minds above more petty prejudice, to ex
tend the recognized boundaries of the hu•
man brotherhood, and has, we trust, taught
us all to appreciate more hilly the impor
tance of the attractive tifis of friendship and
fraternity. The special occasion you tied
for thanksgiving and praise is, I believe,
the rebinding of the war-broken bonds of
your order., This Is suitable and must
comutend itself to the Christian conscious
-1160 of the age. The sword rudely cut the
practice) ties of your national brotherhood,
und, for live long, bloody years, your fra
ternal bonds remained severed. but now,
in the goodness of God, those fraternal
bonds have been reunited, and you having
before this, as christitins and citizens
of our (munition country, united with us
in rendering praise to God for victory,
peace and a preserved nationality, we now
finite with you, as an order, in thanksgiv- '
mg and pre iHt3 to Gott for the restoration of
friendship, love and fraternity between the
different members of your order in these
United States.
We propose to discuss briefly the pro
posed Apirit and Aim of your order, and,
in concluding, to suggest some lessons for
the conduct of our gratitude to the Almighty
for Ms goodness toward us.
Odd-Fellowship professes to be neither a
religious nor a political organization. It
Professes only to be of human origin, and
ays no claim to standing upon an equality
with the Church of the living God. Much
unjust prejudice has arisen against the or
der from misrepresentation and mistinder
:entitling upon this particular point. Your
order is only a voluntary association 'Amen,
for purposes of mutual benevolence, as fore
shadowed by the noble motto, "Friendship,
Love and Truth," which you have adopted.
You number upon your rolls not a low of
the emluunt living Christians of the country.
Your platform is broad enough to include
all humanity in the embraces of your
brotherhood.
I. But we must note first as an element
of your order, what we may call its religious
sgiril. To this spirit our text, " Thou shall
love the neighbor as lhgself," moms at least
in I homy to give expression. Your
religious spirit seems to be, if we
may be allowed the remark, distinctively
bultlllllll a rlitn. 'Phis oneness of design seems
to run throughout the entire working of
your order, and, laying no claim as an order
to godliness, you actualize in your organized
life, the humanitarian ideal to a degree as
high as auy, and a vast deal higher, than
many other human organizations.
In the religion, however, revealed to us
in the word of God, we ever recognize a
duality. God and man, the infinite and
finite, are its living components. It has in
its culture and worship to do with both.
The exalted sentiment ofitsGloriainExcelsis
is—",,Glory to God in the highest and on
earth peace, good will toward men." And
this same duality, which is indicated in our
Lord's Prayer and 'exhibited lu the two
tables of God's moral law, we find indeed
in every element of our holy religion. God
Is ever to be praised and glorified; man
elevated, christianized and saved. " Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and mind, and soul, and strength,
and thy neighbor as thyself," upon these
ankh our Lord hang all the law and the
Prophets. But the glory to God iu the
highest, • the hallowing of our heavenly
Father's name, the loving of God with all
the heart, , ,and mind, and soul, and strength,
you as an order, without, we trust, losing
sight of it entirely, permit to be merged into
or overshadowed by the peace on earth and
good will toward men, the loving of our
neighbor as ou rsel ves. Tints your attention
as an order seems specially directed to the
lower, the hurrah side of our holy religion,
and to the personal, and relative duties in
volved in the second table of God's Com
mandments, condensed by our Saviour to
read—" Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself."
We have regarded the above as necessary
to explain that, in speaking of your reli
gious spirit, we, by no means, mean your
adaptation as an order to the cultivation of
religion in the soul, which is the pro Vince
of the church, but rather to your calling
into exercise and exhibiting the existing
spirit of religion found among you. A de
voted christian, a godly man, it must be
conceded, makes always the best and
brightest Odd Fellow. You bring to your
order what you have. You exhibit as mem
bers thereof at most only the higher graces
of heart and character of which you are
possessed. And the better in heart you are,
even to the entire change of heart wrought
by the Holy Ghost, through the divinely up
pointed means, the more fully will yon be
enabled to actuallie the genuine spirit your
order proposes, and to exhibit in your lives
the higher and richeegraces it contemplates.
Having in days gone by looked into the
uremia of your order, and handled of its
hidden things, we are impressed with the
conviction that the morals between man
and man, at which your order aims, are,
humanly speaking, impossible and only
to be actualized in human life by the Lord of God through the power of our .Lord
Jesus Christ. Our conviction therefore is
that to be a good, practical, perfect
Odd Fellow requires the very highest
style of ehristian manhood. It does,
therefore, seem to me, that inter
ested, as you no doubt are, in promoting
the full riches of your Order's character, it
should be, a 9 you struggle up through the
different degrees of perfection, your earnest
desire to take that highest of all human
degrees, freely accessible to all, viz: your
full consecration body and soul to Christ
and his service of salvation, which is, in
deed, the very acme of morals and be
nevolence, the perfection of friendship, love
end fraternity. It Is hoped that no one of
you will be content to linger by cisterns
which can hold no water, when we all so
vitally need the water of life; but that, in
your practice of the so-to-speak human
• 'graces of the spirit, you will imbibe, from
the moral beauties and ;gentle amenities
your Order inculcates, an anxious thirst
for the far higher graces of that life which
Is hid with Christ in God. That will be to
Indeed win the victory, and to stand in
triumph upon' the lofty pinnacle of the
temple of life, and liberty, and hope, while
the pure white light of heaven will cause
your pathway to shine more and more even
unto the perfect day. Now your Order
breathe 4 a spirit which might justly lead
us to expect this kind of progression in your
lives. You teach morality, temperance,
benevolence; you dwell upon the shortness
of life, the certainty of death, and the trans
'tory, unsatisfying nature of all earthly
pleasures and possessions; you inculcate
purity, honesty, honor and truth, and,
recognizing that the All-seeing Eye is
upon you, you direct the thoughts to the
glories and beauties of the world to come,
where the reign of peace shall commence,
and suffering, sorrowing and sighing shall
all flee away, where mankind shall be
united in the bonds of a holy and everlast
•
lug brotherhood, and no more nights of
gloom, of sorrow, or of death shall afflict the
race of redeemed ones forever and forever.
Another element of a religious spirit in
your order is a reverence for truth. It is
the last, but by no means, the least member
of your fraternal motto. It is indeed the
- foundation, the great cornerstone of your'
- emblematic system. Without truth as a
foundation there can be neither love nor
friendship in their purity. And truth is the
living basis of all true brotherhood. Weil
do you respect and reverence it. nut what
is truth I' This old question of Pilate has
ever been the world's greatest, and most in
tridate problem. For its answer, science
has dug into the bowels of the earth, pene
trated with analytic' eye the enveloping
atmosphere and walked in thought amid
the twinkling lights and rolling orbs of
immensity, and 'philosophy has dreamed
and speculated, and speculated and
dreamed, until eyes have grown ;dim,
head's gray andlnarts sunken, but the per
fect answer to the world's great question has
.never yet beim fOund, when unaided, by
. . theienoblepioneersofintellectual ptegtess.
"But the littieLchild, miser than' hoary
headed science ! andfdptdlostlphy, c ute
the gordian , ;knot of woe, and, point-
ing to yoUr.own honored Bible, directs
you to truth; God's truth. The only pure
y
imperishable' fountains of truth the world
has ever known, It is alone the'light of &d
-euce and opens up more perfectly teller
vision the dim mazes of nature; it alone is
the unerting guldeto Philosophy and dissi
pates the foggy vapors which linger amid
her secluded vales, dr Wing around her lofty
mountain tops of thou,glic Here, by the
vision of faith we take' in the nature and
the historic origin anft progress of men, and
as much of the Infinite (3od as the finite can
contain ; here we read the present, the past
and the otherwise impenetrable future; here
we learn of God, his nature, designs and
dealings; here we learn that man is, was
andlis destined to be; here there are heighths
and depths, lengths and breadths of light
and love, which perfectly . absorb the
thoughtful soul here time and eternity
"big with the fates of men" are presented;
here are leaves for the healing, and fruits
for the refreshment of the nations; and here
amid the quiet letters of these silent pages
lives and breathes the mighty power of God
for the elevation of the degraded, the civil
ization of the barbarous and the salvation
of the lost.
It is this word, this truth of God, which
you, as an Order, revere and reverence, and
recommend. From its rich fields of in
spired thought, you have culled your rarest,
sweetest flowers. The brightest lights,
which sparkle in sour sky, have borrowed
their imperishable lustre from this
divine luminary. The moral beauties,
which from the rich background of
your fresh pictures of benevolence, are
distinctively Biblical. And thus lingering
as you do amid the gushing fountains of
this land of divine promise, and culling
flowers from this garden of the Lord you
exhibit not a little of the spirit of religion,
and suggest the promise and hope that you
cannot remain utterly unmindful of the
fountain of living waters, nor wholly in
different to the fruits tha t grow upon the
tree of life.
11. But we note further yoir spirit of
benevolence. Benevolence in human life is
a distinguishing beauty. It is a gem of
rarest lustre, sparkling amid our broken,
dust•covered ruins; it is the frail flower
resting its blooming cheek upon the rugged
mountain side hard by the frigid borders of
eternal snow. It shines "a precious jewel
amid'the filth and rubbish of the world."
And the practice of this noble virtue is a
central object of your association. You
propose among your associated duties the
feeding of the hungry, clothing the naked,
nursing the sick, burying the dead, edu
eating and curing for the orphan and the
widow. These are indeed noble aims,
worthy of all earnestness. But it may be
said there is an element of selfishness tar
nishing your proposed benevolence, that it
is not disinterested, that it is claimed and
rendered as a right to those entitled to your
benefactions. Well I it would be strange, if
there was note shade ofselllshness coloring
the picture. The sculptor's chisel and the
painter's pencil, in the hands of genius, have
entranced an admiring world, but who
ever saw a perfect picture? Art imitates
Nature, and we honor the triumphs
„ of ge
nius its the imitation approaches perfection,
but the Unite never has nor ever eau, actu
alize the artistic skill of the Infinite. Tiie
Creator hangs out pictures in the gallery of
immensity, upon floating clouds and mid
night sky, and amid the glowing colors of
rising and setting sun; or Ile spreads them
out upon the lap of revolving seasons, on
mountain side and in valley, by the side of
murmuring brooks and rolling rivers,
which, in the perfection of their lights and
shades of beauty, defy the combineu artis
tic skill of human genius. Artists never
reach the exquisite perfection of their
models, nor do they, in the practice of the
moral and Christian virtues, attain to the
perfection of the model held up to us in the
divine ideal. Our virtues are human, and
aro touched by the shades of human in
firmity and Imperfection. It would thus be
indeed strange it' your benevolence was not
touched by a liberal dash of the selfish, for
a perfectly disinterested beneyolence can
only be round, and somewhat rarely there,
among the distinguishing glories of the
higher, even the divine, life infused into
humanity. It must, indeed, be conceded,
that even in Christian litb, this virtue is a
jam of purest ray, for it is ever regarded us
a rare triumph of the divine over
the human to get fully oeyond the de
clension of the personal—l, mine, me.
And, therefore, whatever we find of be
nevolence budding out anywhere, in the
varied walks of humanity, we would
cherish and encourage. We would es
say to lift it higher and higher towards
the perfection of our Lord, the only true
model of benevolence, until, with excelsior
as its anitnatiim inotto, it shines with all the
rich, resplendent glories of the divine in
the human. We commend what you ex
hibit of the spirit of benevolence. We urge
you, as a band of brethren, to go ou enlarg
ing your sympathies, extending the boun
daries of your fraternal kindness, until, in
the full flush of the triumph of truth and
right, of love and friendship, and fraternity,
you realize that charity beginning at home
does not remain there, but ever finds its
most congenial walks out in the highways
and hedges, amid the streets and lanes of
want and woe. This world is one vast
charnel house of death ; it is indeed a vale
of tears; upon every breeze is wafted the
sighs and groans of the sorrowing and suf
fering. The stricken widow weeping for
woe and want; the starving orphan crying
for bread, the ragged urchin growing up in
the school of pollution and crime, the de
graded victim of vice, the heathen at home
and abroad, the poor, the unfortunate, the
famishing are found everywhere, and
everywhere is heard the cry of the human,
it is well with thee, think on„ me. The wide,
wide world of humanity l a the only
legiti
mate field for the exercise of benevolence,
and, with the animation of this noble aim,
let it be your earnest zeal to do good and to
communicate as the Lord giveth you oppor
tunity, thus becoming, in your association,
the handmaid and helpmeet of our holy
religion.
111. We note thirdly your spirit of frienal
ship and fraternity. Burns struck the key
note of a painful truth, when he sung:
man's inhumanity to man makes countless
thousands mourn."
Mod of the world's history is traced in
blood. We sicken at the sad tales of hufnan
woe, which the records of mankind con
tain. The Meccas of nations, their monu
mental spots to which national pride
exultingly turns, are fields where deadly
strife bath been endured, and where the
warm, red currents of battle have flowed.
Upon the numberless fields of the world's
conflicts, man has met his brother in the
deadly onset, and by the brother's hand
have countless thousands fallen in the
agonies of death.
War and bloodshed, passion and strife are
human enough, but nevertheless unnatural.
God never meant man to baths his hands In
his brother's blood. He has set the mark of
His own divine indignation upon such
Cain-like crimes. We do not say that all
wars among depraved men are criminal,
often they:Etre but theassertion of the majesty
of law, and the just and proper efforts of
rulers to be a terror to evil doers, that they
may reward them that do well. But God
never meant man to be an evil-doer. He
created him in His own divine image, and
man, true to his primitive nature would
never have known wars, nor rumors of ware.
As God " from one blood bath created all
nations for to dwell upon all the face of the
earth," so, by creation, we are knit
together in the native bonds of fraternity,
and a warm and genial friendship, like the
reviving sunlight of a spring morning,
should envelope and animate the whole
race of human kind. " Peace on earth
and good will toward men,"—the loving of
our neighbor as ourselves—belong to God's
great design in the restoration, through
Christ, of a fallen world.
And to the furtherance of these holy ends
of friendship and fraternity, you profess to
lend your associated influence. You pro
ppse as a prime object of your Order that
heart should beat in unison with heart, and
that hand should grasp hand in the, to
you, well-known custom of your Order.
You would light the fires of friendship upon
every hill top, and unite the tender links of
fraternity between brother and brother in
every laud and nation. It is well. The
object you propose to yourselves is noble
and much needed. As an object it finds its
solid groundwork in the constitution of
man's nature. We are all related to each
other. A link of mutual dependence runs
throughout the entire human family, and
such a thing as man's complete independ
ence of man is a mere figment of the im
agination. Never can the hand say to the
foot, I have no need of thee, nor can any
man ever rise superior to dependence upon
even the lowliest of his fellows. This is the
teaching both of revelation and experience.
Among the cherished doctrines of our holy
religion we recognize the common Father
hood. of God, and the universal brother
hood of man. And who does not know
that there are things which money
'will not buy nor influence command?—
The warm gushes of sympathy when
sick or sorrowful iu a strange laud ,
amid stranger scenes; the friendly reeog
uition, the home-like welcome, the warm
pressure of the hand and the kindly re' ,
spouse, when far from the Ws and associa
tions of horde, these all are the free, but
priceless tributes paid generously out by a
true friendship and fraternity.
But who is our neighbor, our brother?
Go learn the answer, in the words of Jesus,
from the simple story of the Good Samaritan
you ring oil into, and binding up, the wounds
of the nationally and socially antagonistic
Jews; go learn the same answer from the
teachings of the inspired Apostle, that in
Christ Jesus there is neither Greek nor Jew,
Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free, but all
.are one, one family, one brotherhood in
Hitt'. The middle wall of paitition, dividing
the different nationalities of men, bath, by
the increased light - and love of our dispen
sation, been broken down. And the divine
council now is, that wherever we find man,
whatever his native elime, or condition,
there we find a brother, united to us by. the
kindred ties of one blOod. And to enliven
the genialiti"s of genuine friendship, t to
extend the boundaries of fraternity is a
noble aim, a blessOliftert. ' It is the (prac
tical working out, iri, life of - love ' to our
neighbor to otiraelyee„; ;It Is burying the
hatchet of strifeoheathing th - e hlootikeword
of war, crushing out the Phenolate:: spirit of
-east and clangislu;ess, which - , proudly
lookig down Upon its fellows, says I ani
betterthan then. The world, with its sor
rowsandsufferings,and man, with yearning
bopes and lo ft y ai m s struggling In his im
mortal nature, May well pine for the day
when perfect friendship shall le restored to
the raft. That will indeed be the day of
humanity's dual 'victory, the day of a com-
Jleted redemption, when God shall execute
udgment upon evil and its; votaries, and
the righteous in Christ shall enter upon the
joys reserved in Heaven for them. When
that day shall dawn, the iron sceptre will
fall from the palsied hand of tyranny, op
pression will cease, the down-trodden will
arise, and the true manhood of man will
everywhere be recognized and 'respected.—
Thus the aim of friendship and fraternity,
which you propose, is lofty in its conception,
noble in its influence, and freighted richly
with blessings to humanity. It is another
element of the wisdom, which ecometh down
from above, found in your system. We
urge you to aim high in this noble work, to
cultivate the spirit, which has ever a heart
to feel for, and a hand to help the suffering
and the needy. Thus you will, as you
should, work yourselves up to a higher and
• still higher level, and you may stand at last
with the divine blessing, amid the richer
graces and glories of a perfected manhood.
But you will thus be brought within the
precincts of the higher life of humanity and
become co-workers in the mighty hosts of
the great King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
This should be your exalted aim. Go on
then in your noble efforts. Do what you
can to further the reign of peace and
good will, of friendship and fraternity
among 'men. And remember always
that the wiping of one tear from
sorrow's eye, the hushing of one
sigh in the bleeding heart, the soothing of
one sorrow, the consoling of one grief, the
satisfying of ono want, the relieving of one
woe, is something gained In this sorrowing,
suffering world, and is even treasured up
in the memory ot Him, who is not unmind
ful of the giving of a cup of cold water,
in His name, to a disciple. Belt then your
exalted aim to contribute to the culture of
those sweeter amenities of the heart, which
lend a charm to life, and make. grasses to
grow, and flowers to bloom, amid the desert
wastes of our human wilderness. But time
forbids that we should longer linger here.
Let us conclude, with a few tine lessons,
which may serve to aid us in our grateful
devotions to God.
And first learn to draw near to God, not
with the lips only, but with the heart also.
It is in spirit and in truth that we are to
worship God. The form is not necessarily
the thing. The outward manifestation is
not always the assurance of the inward
life. There aro not a few names to live,
where there is only death, and doubtless
many shall say unto Him at the last day,
Lord, Lord, whom he will neither hear nor
know. There is no scarcity of the artificial
in life, when the form is found without the
substance. You know that all is not gold
that glitters. You know that beneath the
fairest exterior may lurk the most loath
some repulsiveness. We need not say to
you, that it is not the scarlet or royal purple
borne upon a man's shoulders, which consti
tute him the true embodiment of your Order.
We need more than the outward, The true
riches and bounties of human life spring
from within, and sparkle sometimes like
ems amid, what seems at first glance, a
and and rugged nature.
You have met to render thanksgiving
and praise to God the giver of all good. In
common with all men, you have occasion
thus to do. God has been good to us all.
We have all often enjoyed extraordinary
displays of His mercy, but there is abun
dant occasion to magnify His holy name
for the common blessings of life, those com
mon blessings, which so continuously en
joyed because vital to tile, and health, and
happiness, are yet so often forgotten. But
you have a special occasion of your own for
thanksgiving and praise to-day. The
broken links of your national brotherhood
have, after our lute bloody years, been re
united, and now, from the wild waving
woods of Maine to the low marshes of
Florida, from the prosperous populations
that skirt the Atlantic out to the goiden
gates of the Pacific, brother's heart can beat
in unison with brother's heart, and
brother's hand can grasp brother's hand.
Aud for this you desire specially to thank
and praise the Lord. It is well and com
mendable. But let yours be a sincere,
heartfelt thanksgiving, and not the mere
outward form of devotion.
Again, Lehrn to be true to the gfeat spirit
and design of your order. Be good men, ac
tualizing in your lives the spirit and .beauty
of genuine "Friendship, Love and 'Pruth."
A good man's life is among the most great
ful offerings to the Lord. Lay therefore the
holy consecration of your lives upon the
altar of God and humanity. Be true, be
generous, be just. Let the richer beauties
of ;the renewed heart shine forth in your
lives. Let the hand, with the whole heart
in it, go out in sympathy, in kindness and
benevolence to all mankind. Let the
orphan, the widow, the sick and dying, the
suffering, starving thousands now in our
sunny Southern land, feel that you are a
power for good lu the nation. Be true to
your fellow-men. Allay strife, hush the
tongue of vituperation. Give no counte
nance to evil words, or works, or thoughts.
Be honest in life, frank in conduct, pute in
heart. And be true also to yourselves. You
cannot be true to others and false to your
selves. Every human ruin is a loss to the
race; every human triumph a blessing. We
are all related to, and dependent upon each
other. You have each your respective
spheres and ditties. We cannot spare you
in the great progressive work_of life. You
must stand by us in the world'g great battle
fields, and with us fight for the triumph of
right and truth and liberty. But unfit your
selves for duty, benumb your senses awl
unsettle your mental health by licentious
ness and dissipation, and you are not only
false to your own manhood, but false also to
humanity. Be strong, therefore, and show
yourselves men, firm, decided, honest men,
the noblest work of God, or otherwise your
fellows will lean upon a broken stick and
a foot out of joint. Be what your order
seems to imply, true men ; be even more,
be regenerated men,argi, in the high nobility
of good and right living, you will be
offering n holy sacrifice of thanksgiving to
God.
Finally—Look upwards. Strive to enter
in at the strait gate and to walk thenarrow
path of duty and of 1 i fe. Ascend higher and
higher in the sc. lu of being. Be uotcontent
with that unto which you have attained, but
"press onward toward the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus. Bear aloft your banner, and let the
cross surmount the crescent with all your
other emblems, and, having Excelsior in•
scribed upon it, rise higher and higher and
higher, until, In Christ Jesus, you reach the
full glories of the perfect day, and God will
be glorified iu your everlasting welfare.

CENTRAL .PACIFIC R. R. CO
This Company is constructing under the pa

GREAT NATIONAL RAILWAY ACROSS
THE CONTINENT,
Their line will extend from Sacramento,
California, across tile Sierra Nevadas to the
California State line, traversing the richest
and most populous section of California, and
thence through the great mining regions of
the Territories, to the vicinity of Salt Luke
City.
It forme the sole Western link of the only
route to the Pacific which le adopted by Con
gress and aided by the Issue of the United
.States Bonds.
Their road is already completed, equipped
and running for 94 tulles from Sacramento to
within 12 miles of the summit of the Sierras,
and a large amount of toe work of Grading,
Tunneling, dm., beyond that point has been
accomplished.
The First Mortgage' Bonds of this Company
afford unusual inducements of Safety and
Profits to Investors, for the following among
other reasons, viz :
First. The rate of interests le SIX PER CENT.
IN GOLD, payable ectul-annually in the
City of New York.
Second. The PRINCIPAL IS payable IN GULL at
maturity.
Third. The cost of the Bonds. NINETY-FIVE
PER CENT, and accrued Interest, is TEN
PER CENT, less than that of the cheapest
Six per Cent. Gold Bearing Bonds of the
Government.
Feurth. The United States Government pro
vides nearly half the amount necessary
to build the entire road, and looks main
ly to a small per centage on the future
traffic for re-payment,
Fifth. Owing to this liberal provision, accom

Grants
o Posters
this great national enterprise, its spccess
is rendered certain, and its financial sta
bility is altogether independent of the
contingencies which attend ordinary
ktallroad enterprises.
Sixth. The Security of its First Mortgage Bonds
is therefore ample, and their character
for safety and reliability is equalled only
by that of the obligations of the Govern
ment itself.
Seventh. The net earnings of the completed
portion are already largely In excess of
the interest obligations which the Com
pany will Incur on twice the distance,
and are steadily increasing, rendering
the uninterrupted payment of the Inter
est absolutely eertain.
Eighth. At the present rate of Gold they pay
nearly 814 PER CENT. per annum, on the
amount invested.
The Bonds are Issued In denominations of
81,000 with semi-annual Gold Coupons attached
payable In New York, and are offered for the
present at 95 per cent. and accrued interest
(in currency) from January let.

Turow away your false frizzes, your switches
your wig—
Destructive of comfort, and not worth a fig;
Come aged, come youthful, come ugly and fair,
And rejoice In your own luxuriant hair.
For restoring hair upon bald heads (from
whatever cause It may have fallen out) and
forcing a growth of hair upon the face, it has
no equal. It will force the beard to grow upon
the smoothest face In from five to eight weeks,
or hair upon bald heads in from two to three
months. A few ignorant practitioners havens
serted that there is nothing that will force or
hasten the growth of the hair or beard. Their
assertions are false, as thousands of living wit
nesses (from their own experience) can bear
witness. But many will say, how are we to
distinguish the genuine from the spurious? It
certainly is difficult, as nine-tenths of the dif
ferent Preparations advertised for the hair and
beard are entirely worthless, and you may
have already thrown away large amounts In
their purchase. To such we would say, try the
Fteparator Cappilli ; it will coat younothing
unless it fully comes up to our representations.
If you!' Druggist does Lot keep It, send us one
dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, together
with a receipt for the money, which will b e re .

Market.
TEN YEARS experience in selling Reaping
and Mowing Machines enables me to offer you
for the'harvest of 1867, the only two-wheeled
Self-Rake Reaping Machine that has proved
successful in doing the work better in down
tangled grain than can be done by band.
With this Machine, one man - or boy, with a
good steady pair of horses, can do as much
work in a day, and do it better, than two men
can do with the best combined hand machine
now in use. This has been our experience and
that of many of our best Farmers who have
used them the last three seasons. Take off your
Rake and Platform and you have one Of ihe
very best Mowers in use ; in cutting down tan
gled grain or grass with this Machine, you can
drop your cutter bar as low as you may desire
without stopping your team ; you can raise
or lower it with all ease while it is in motion.
