The Unseen Battle Field.
There is an unseen battle field
In every humau breast,
Where two opposing forces meet,
But where they never rest. ' ]
]
The field is vailed from mortal sight; ,
'Tis only seen by One
Who knows alone where victory ties I ■
When each day's work is done.
One army clusters strong and fierce,
Their chief of demon form ;
His brow is like the thunder cloud,
His voice the bursting storm.
His captains are the passions fierce
Whose troops watch night and day,
Swift to detect the weakest points,
And thirsting for the fray.
Contending with this mighty force
Is but a little band;
Yet there with .an unqualling front.
The warriors firmly stand.
'
Their leader is a Godlike form,
Of countenance serene,
• And glowing on his naked breast
A simple cross is seen.
i
His captains arc the virtues fair
Beneath that wondrous sign;
They fear no danger for they feci
A courage all divine.
They feel it speaks a glorious truth,
A truth as great as sure.
Not to he victors they must learn
To love, confide—endure.
And when they win that battle field
Past toil is all forgot;
The plain where battle once had reigned
Becomes a hallowed spot,
A spot where flowers of joy and peace
Spring from the fertile sod, .
And breathe the perfume of their praise
On every breeze to God.
Gems of Thought.
Some people think it an excess of mag
nanimity to forgive those whom they i
have injured. i
I
A failure only establishes this, that our
determination to succeed was not strong
enough.
!
Nothing is more fatal in self advance- :
ment than a stupid conversation, or ser
vile imitation.
The spirits may be exhausted by em
ployment, but they are utterly desolated
by idleness.
Speak of people's virtue, conceal t heir
infirmities; if you can say no good speak
no ill qf them.
The most miserable pettifogging in the
world is that of a man in the court ot his j
own consciencj.
The tongue of a fool is the key of his
own council, which, in a wise man, wis
dom hath in keeping-
Great powers and natural gifts do not
bring privileges to their posessors, so
much as they bring duties.
Never attempt to convey the impres
sion that you are a genius, by imitating
the faults of distinguished men.
While cireumstan' , es may make or mar
a man, if is equally true that lie may of
ten make his circumstances.
Every person his two educations—one
which he receives from others, and one,
more important, which lie gives himself,
POWER OK TIIIC EYE. — A story is told of
Van Ambnrgh, the great lion tamer, now
dead : On one occasion, while in a bar
room, he was asked how lie got his won
derful power over animals. He said : '-It
is by showing tlieni that I'm not the least
afraid of tlieni. I'll give you an exanible
of the power of my eye." Pointing to a
loutish fellow who was sitting near by, 1
he said : "You see that fellow? lie's a
regular clown. I'll make him come
across the room to me and I won't say a
word to him." Sitting down, he fixed
his keen, steady eye 011 the man. Pres
ently the fellow straightened himself
gradually, got up and came slowly across
to the lion tamer. When lie got
close enough lie diew back and
struck \ ail Ambnrgh a tremendous blow .
under tlie chin, knocking him clear oyer
the chair, with the remark: "You'll stare
at me like that again, won't you?',

This remedy is something new, both as to name
and composition. This is one of the wonders of the
world. This Syrup, I claim, is better and more j
effective than any other ever offered to the people of
America or any other country, and what I say of
this T can prove, TJiis Syrup, like the Tills, is
harmless and safe. It contains no opium or other
narcotic poison, like the most Syrup, and is not dis
agreeable to take. Any child "will take it. And it
will cure any aud all inflammations arising from
Cold. It is superior to all others in every respect
and especially for the following reasons :
Ist. It will cure Croup every time.
'2d. It will cure Inflammation of the Lungs.
3d. It will cure Quinsy.
4th It will cure Whooping Cough.
sth It will cure Bronchitis.
6th It will cure Hoarseness.
7th It will cure Sore Throat.
Bth It will cure any Cold.
Hth It will cure Congestion of the Lungs.
10th It will cur*> any Cough.
11th It will cure Scarlet Fever.
12th. It is the best reined"' that anv one can take
for .Consumption, aud if taken in the tirst stage I
will guarantee a cure.
13th. It is perfectly safe for all ages as there is
nothing in its composition that can harm a child.

TJIE LEADING AMERICAN NEWS
PAPER.
The .Vcic IVH'A Tribune
FOR 18S1.
The Largest Circulation Among the Best
People.
During the past year the New York Tribune
reached the largest circulation it over attained, with
| ihe single exception of a short period in the lirst
J Lfncoln administration. It is a larger circulation,
I and more widely distributed over the whole country
j than any ev r enjoyed by any other newspaper in
the United States. This fact may be taken as the
I verdict of the American people on the Tribune's
| political force, its fidelity to sound principles, and
j its merits as a newspaper.
For 1881, the Tribune will try to deserve equally
j well of the public. What and now much It did for
; the success of General Garfield it is content to let
I earnest Republicans tell. It now hopes to give to
| his Administration a discriminating support as ef
-1 fective as its etlbj-ts for his oleetion.
: The Tribune will labor for, and it confidently ex-
I peeta the incoming Administration to promote, a
j free and fair suffrage, fcjouth and North, sound
I money, protection to Homo Industry, judicious 11b
! erality in Internal Improvements, and a Civil Service
I conducted on business principles, on the theory of
! elevating, not of ignoring or degrading politi .
Every citizen who helped to bring in this Admin
istration should watch its course. The events to be
recorded in the Tribune for 1881 will therefore have
a peculiar interest. The year promises besides to
! show whether the South will still sacrifice every,
j thing to solidity; and whether the Democratic party
j after twenty years of disloyalty and defeat, will
J dissolve or reform. Abroad it will show whether
j England can compose Ireland; whether the Repub
j lie in France, without the support of the leaders
who established it, can stand alone; whether the
l Turk can longer pollute Europe. In Science it
j promises such practical triumphs as the use of dec
; trieity for gas, new modes of heating, and new
, forms of power in place of steam. In Literature
i and Art it oilers the very flower of our nineteenth
! century development; in Religion, a concentration
j of force, and union of organization on simpler creeds
! and better work.
! No intelligent iqan will he willing to live through
j the year without reading of these things; and he
will be wise to look for them in the journal which
has long enjoyed the distinction of the largest cir
! dilation among the best people. • This position The
j Tribune secured and means to retain by becoming
! the medium of ths best thought and the voice of the
| best conscience of the time; by keeping abreast of
! the highest progress, favoring the freest discussion,
! hearing all sides, appealing always to the best intel
, ligence and the purest morality, and refusing to
| cater to the tastes of the vile, or the prejudices of
j the ignorant.
i The well-known special features of the Tribune
will be scduously maintained. Its Agricultural De
partment will remain the fullest and best The
1 louschotd and the Young Folks' Department, the
literary, scientific and religious features, the stand
| ard market reports, will all be kept up, aud, as op
I portunity offers, extended.

THE TRIBUNE PREMIUMS.
The Tribune has never been equalled in the sub
stantial and permanent value of its premiums to
agents and subscribers, and it adds to its list this
year two of the most desirable it has ever offered.
Note the following:
THE GREAT BIBLE CONCORDANCE.
Analytical Concordance to the Bible, on an en
tircly new plan, containing every word in alphabet
ical order arranged under its Hebrew or Greek
original, with the literal meaning of each and its
pronunciation; exhibiting 311,000refeiences, 118,000
beyond Crudcn; marking 30,000 various readings lit
the New Testament; with the latost information on
Biblical Geography and Antiquities, etc., etc. By
Robert Young, LL. I)., author of a new Literal
Translation of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures;
Concise Critical Comments on the same; a Gram,
matical Analysis of the Minor Prophets in Hebrew ;
Biblical notes and queries; Hebrew Grammar, etc.
In one handsome quarto volume, containing over
1,100 three-ivolumu pages, very substantially bound
in cloth. The pages and type are the same size as
those of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary—the
type having a beautiful, bold, clear face, making it
more easily road even than that of the Dictionary.
The sterotype plates upon which it is printed having
been made by the photo-engraving process, it is
necessarily an exact fae-simile of the English work,
without the abridgment or variation of a word or
letter. It is at once a Concordance, a Greek, Hebrew
and English Lexicon of Bible words, and a Scriptu
ral Gazetteer, and will be as valuable to students of
the Holy Word as an Unabridged Dictionary is to
the general reader. Every home that has a Bible in
it ought also to have this great help to Bible-reading
and study. It is as well adapted to the use of the
I common reader as to that of the scholarly clergeyman
This great work was originally published in
England in October, 1879, and was sold at sls. W.
