And in nearly all kinds of chronic disease tacts like a charm, effecting speedy cures in he most stubborn eases. The afflicted everywhere should not fail to give it a trial, if they desire to purchase health with but a tiifling expense. It is not a "patent medicine," nor is it kept for sale by any drug gist. It is a discovery of a physician during a five years' sojourn in South America, and he nas imparted the secret of its composition to hundreds of intelligent physicians, who have all used it in their practice with the most won derful results. ' In consideration of its many virtues, I have thought it my duty to engage in the manufac ture of it on a large scale, and advertise it ei tensively throughout the world. The method for preparing it for use U somewhat complex requiring a numerous collection of chemical tools paraphernalia not usually possessed by druggists, and for this reason few drug stores could furnish it properly prepared, if they had the formula. Therefore, I have purchased the necessary articles, and with the assistance of a good practical chemist am engaged in its man ufacture and sale. -r The "Life Compound" is purely vegetable, its principal ingredient being obtained from the root of a plant which grows abundantly in some - parts of South America. It is perfectly barm less in its effects even if taken in tripple the ordinary dose, whils its invigorating influence wonderful indeed, often effecting a permahknt cure in a few weeks.

Mr. &1civbi.vby: ' Dear Sir Your 'Life Compound' is working wonders in this section, and I have eyery reason to be thankful for what it has accomplished in my own case and that of my wife. My complaint, as you may remem ber, was Liver Disease in its worst form. I had not taxen your medecine more than three weeks when 1 felt so much encouraged as to order a box for my wife also, who was suffering from what the physicians termed disease of the kidneys. This was in November last. We have , now taken two packages each, and I am happy to inform you that we have good reason to con- ., cl ude we are both permantly restored to health and that, by your Life Compound. Encouraged ,: by its good effects in our cases, several of our afflicted neighbors sent to you for the medicine aud I am informed by three of them, with whom I am intimately acquainted, that they, too, be lievo themselves entirely cdred by it. You may make such use sf this statement as you may deem proper. With gratitude, Kbv.B.R. GORMLY. Cincinnati, Aug, 2s, 1867, Mr. McKblvet: Sir A thing of beauty"is a toy forever, and a food medicine is more than this. I taxe pleasure in commending your Life . Compound, not so much on account of what it has done forme, as wai it may be the means of doing for thousands of others. To the sick and suffering, therefore, I wish, 'through your advertisement to say a few words of encouragement. One year ago I was an in , valid; I am now hearty and well. My disease was dyspepsia of ten years standing; I had tried all means I knew of for a cure, without avail, until about the first of September last I became acquainted with a young man who told . me of Mr. Mclvelvey's remedy, and the good work it had done in the neighborhood of his lorraer uumo v. une, jt.j i immemaieiy appieu to Mr. M. for a box of his Life Compound and commenced taking it. I commenced improving in a few days and continued to improve, and in las? than three months from that time was entirely restored, and have remained well ever since. Mine was rather an inveterate case, and pronounced so by all the physicians of this city. The medicine was so successful in my case, that I cannot retrain from adding my testimony in . its favor. D. R. GILFORD. Hundreds of Testimonials like the foregoing are in my possession, and cannot be given for want of space. The ' Life Compound" is the cheapest medicine in the world. One package of it will make a quart of Syrup, which is enough to last more than two months. .The price is $2 00 a pack, age. Inclose $2 00 in a letter and direct it to me, and by return mail I will send yon a package of the Compound, postage prepaid by me. If you are sick you will find it just the thing you have been looking for, and you never will regret having sent for it. I always send the Compound well sealed up. so that no one can tell what it is. I do this for he reason that there are some persons who and for it that desire to keep their disease a swret. The money may in all cases be sen at my risk. Address allletters to M. T.

Mr. Editor: The following ou 'What is Religion?' is a contribution from a learned gentleman of this city, a friend of mine, who has given much time and thought to Man's Moral Relations. However much you and many of your readers may differ with him as to his conclusions, every reader knows that his authorities are correctly quoted, and I can assure you that he is certainly one of the 'earnest men' of whom he speaks, and therefore all that he says comes from one to whom this is 'holy ground upon which it is felt to be sacrilege to trifle.' Life. WHAT IS RELIGION ? A late writer says, that in searching the Scriptures, we often find equally good men differing with respect to its sacred teachings. The Baptist, for example, sees the limpid stream of Jordan flowing tbro' every page of the New Testament ; the Methodist finds ample authority for Armenianism and un(church) authorized bye-way preaching; the Episcopalian, equal authority for apostolic succession, the mitre and the prayer book ; the Presbyterian sees scarcely anything else execept the decrees or Calvinism, and the Presbyter; and so with all the other denominations into which the Christian church is divided. , But it is a source of high gratification to the true friends of Christianity to know that amidst this diversity of opinion, there is a unity of sentiment upon all that is essential to our future and eternal happiness. On this great point 'the wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err therein. Now we feel disposed to believe this. Indeed, we know in reason that it must be so, but we also feel like extending the declaration further than this, and embrace other creeds besides christian, and assert that it is a principle founded on the strictest justice, that men equally in earnest in their efforts to serve God, must be equally beloved by him, no matter what differences may exist in their creeds or degrees ot enlighten' ment; that is, they are equally saved, though not equally exalted, the most enlightened standing highest, nearest to, and therefore know more of God, yet each will 9tard equally uncondemned before him, and each enjoy his smile in proportion to the capacity of each respectively. Is this heterodox? It ought not to be, and is not, if St. Peter is right, who says on one occasion with great wonder, at the result of becoming convinced against all his former notions: 'I perceive that God is no respec ter of persons, but that in every nation he that feareth God and worketh right eousness is accepted of him;' that is, all kinds of religion, all shades of opinion, though differing however much irom my gospel, is accepted of him if accompan ied with earnestness to do bis will. The same Peter, too, who had formerly said that Jesus was the only 'name under Heaven given among men whereby we may be saved. But some may be disposed to th'nk that there are portions of the New Tes tament that seem to say otherwise. In answer to which we reply. It is iinpcssi oie, ir me book be consistent with itself which all the creeds assert, for ther, can be no dispute as to the precis meaning of the foregoing. St. Paul, too, who uses as much figurative languag j susceptible of other meaning as any oth er writer, says that the heathen 'having not the law, are a law unto themselves, j by which they ehall be judged, Hhei j consciences also bearing witness, am their thoughts in the - meanwhile accusing or else excusing one another,' wbicl clearly admits the same principle in re gard to those at least, who knew not th Gospel that he preached, and condemn ing those only who rejected his Gospel which, of course, implies a realizing wil ,' to do so, which is not applicable to an . who are earnestly striving to serve Goo in any country. We know that this h& not been clearly understood, mixed u with the old oriental forms of speech,1 and much evil has been the result. Itj may safely be said to have been tint great source of all the martyrdom, racks) and tortures of the inquisition and chris-i tian wars since the advent of Christianity. !

RICHMOND, WAYNE CO., I1VD.,

of India, written before Christ, which would have saved the world much blood shed and persecution if it had been in our writings, viz : 'He that serveth oth er Gods with a full belief in doing so, involuntarily worships Me. I am He who partaketh of all worship, and I am their reward ' and yet as I have shown, the same idea is taught in the New Tes tament, though not so manifestly and distfnetly, as other passages have blind ed men from seeing it. M In the International Convention of the Young men's Christian Association, held at Portland, not long since, Dr. Crosby, of JNew lork, as chairman or a committee appointed to present a Scriptural rule by which to determine what churches should be called Evangelical, reports Evangelical churches 'to be those who believe in the atoning sacrifice of our Divine Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, received by faith as the sole source of salvation from eternal death.' Saying not a word about moral character, directly or indirectly, which, as all know, is the great end of all religion , and in regard to which our Saviour un doubtedly directed the most of his teachings. Wc are told that this, notwithstanding, was received with great applause, and unanimously adopted. However, perceiving afterwards their blunder, no doubt, the committee again through Dr. Crosby, the next day, reported the fol lowing Ion?, labored aud amended dec laration. "We hold those churches to be Evangelical, which mantaining the Holy Scriptures to be the only infallible rule of faith and practice, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of of the Father. King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, in whom dwelleth the fulness of the Godhead bodily, (and who was made sin for us, though knowing no sin bearing our sins in his own body on the tree, ) as the only name under heaven among men, whereby we may be saved from everlasting punishment," which we are also informed, was received with great applause, and adopted unanimously, le.iving us to infer fbat any other report fiom the committee would have been adopted just as readily; thereby showing indeed, a very commendable spirit of union, but at the same time, a perception truly deplorable. On reading this last report, one would think that it would have been quite sufficient to have permitted those to be called Evangelical who held the Holy Scriptures to be the only infallible rule of faith and practice, without adding any thing else whatever. And if they do add they must do it for one or two reasons, either that what they add is not taught in books, or being taught in their opinion, is not so clear that "a man may run and read," but is susceptible of argument to the contrary; and as the first reason must in justice be discarded because evidently opposed to their belief, we are left to the second, wnich must be admitted to be a very unjustifiable one, as men can have no right to assume to be true, to the exclusion of others from Christian fellowship, that, which is not by all acknowlenged to be plain, or which admits of any possibility, of other conclusions. We may cofidently assert that however strangely a man may believe, if one now and then may be found, who is trying to shut his eyes to the truth, these attempts at self deception do not last forever wi ll a man who is in any respect seeking after God. He must eventual ly either give up his God, or his belief, and it would be very unphilosophical, as well as uncharitable to suppose that any great body of men composing a church, could occupy this position, and, for all time. These are cainestmen, and an earnest man's declared faith in God is universally the most earnest end truthful expression of the soul, and in all ca ses when differing from those surround ing him, and the belief in which he was reared, it is born of his deepest strug gles. If there is any truth in him you will find it in his declared faith. Here is holy ground upon which it is felt to be sacrilege to trifle. But the declaration of the convention says nothing about the belief in one God, the great primal srticle of Christianity It speaks of the Father and Son, and if these are admitted, it leaves us at liber ty to have the faith of the Hindoo, with his incalculable number of Gods, if we des re it, and we know that the Hindoos, also believe in these, or a Trinity, like the Christians, and inferior deities by untold millions besides. Perhaps, it may be answered, that this great doctrine was left to the Scriptures to in form us of, which we are to receive as the rule of our faith and practice, but if this be so, why not leave all other points to be settled in the same manner. It says not a word about Baptism either. How do our Baptist friends like that? nothing about tue apostolic succession; about consubstantiation of the Lutherans, about the new birth believed in by the Protestant sects. We are glad to see, however, that it admits at last the Sweedenborgians who have heretofore been left out of the fold, although they do not believe in three persons, but only one, He who came on the earth, but believe nevertheless, in the Father and Sn, as characters of the same Being. As to "Everlasting Punishment," this report de evangelizes a number of christ ians already admitted at various places. The second Adventists and Disciples, and also many members of other christ ian churches believe in annihilation and in punishment. This rule also rules out the earley fathers, Origen and Clement, who believe neither in everlasting punishment nor annihilation, but thought one of them at least, that posibly, there would be greater facilities afforded in the next world than in this lor repentence. In view also, of the uncertainty about the meaning of the Greek word Aion, or its adjective Aionion, which is made to read everlasting in the text, but which some of the best scholars have

ENDS THOU AIM'ST AT, BE THY translated Agk, or Age lasting, it does seem as if the convention should have been less reckless than to have refused fellowship to those who do not believe that the punishment is everlasting.--But it may be asked if tenets like these are no insisted upon, what can we call Evangelism, or Evsngelicai religion ? Simply what Jesas said to the young man : you know the commandments, do them and sell all that thou hast and give to the poor; which is precisely what was taught in Ecel siastes. "Fear God and keep his commandments, tor th is is the whole dutj of man," adding only more self abnegation of heart or intensity, for religion really has always baen the same. Jesus came to transfer religion from the outer and ceremonial to the inward and more actual. He said keep the moral law internally, of course, as he elsewhere explains it, and deny yourself to the utmost for the benefit of your brother man; or, still shorter elsewhere, Love God Love man; this is all required. On these two hang all the law and the prophets.' Think of this, the sum of all bis teachings, was "the law and the prophets !" How simple ! and how far man has travelled from his holy words, and how far estray the singular declaration of the convention. Can any doubt seriously, that love to God and man, is the substance or true kernel, and will make any man or church Evangelical or christian, however little of the usual Bhell in his honest ignorance he may omit to add to it, or if he makes an entirely different one to enclose it, it being but the shell ? Why then all this particularity about figurative verbiage. The gi9t of the whole subject, or all that is vital, as we at first said is in every church, and upon these points only, and upon no other.can it be said that "the wayfaring man tho' a fool need not err therein." Christianity has been in existence 1900 years.and 3'et does not possess more than one fourth of the world's inhabitants even nominally. Why? Is it not be cause it is not poroperly comprehended, properly taught, and therefore fails in power to convert? He who is seeking after all the character of God and keep ing the moral law in his heart is Evan rra n I in ovorv natinn pvprv ill Crppd These are the great points 01 Jesus preaching every one may under stand without controversy, they are felt "with in, liou bits not leit nimseu wnnouc witness,and this is his witness in all men to his truth, but man has often mixed up with it, much that is nonessential to Godliness, perhaps the merest rubbish, but more generally, what is positively detrimental. Saturday Night The Worth of Woman's Love. Only another week! How short it has been seven da3s seven chapters of light and happiness of joys aud sorrows of hopes and fears of trials and conquests of births and marriages of sickness, and health. But a little thing is a week but it is a life to some, in the results it doth bring. To-night we were made to feel sad, yet happy. On the way home we passed a woman in calico leading by the arm a week, tottering, trembling old man. His step was hardly a step he could hardly lift his feet from the pavement his face was wrinkled with the lines of ninety-one winters, while his scattered hairs were silky and white as the purest snow. And the woman was past fifty. Her face was kind--her eye told volumes. The crowd on broad way turned aside as it hurried by to let the old man toddle on. "Good evening, good woman can we help you?" "Oh, no, thank you." And she looked so kindly at us. "We are almost home a few steps farther, and you are in a hurry going home too, perhaps." Almost homei Yes that old man who little heeded the crowd and who looked with, mazed and puzzled gaze on the busy scene was almost home! A few more Saturday nights and he will be there with Him, and then he can walk and run without stumbling or other support than He. And we passed on to think, and think and we thought of woman's love, and the worth of it. How she cared for him we should think her father. Perhaps he was cross and petulant years ago. if not now, yet she was kind to him, and with care steadied his steps lest he fall and the busy crowd trample him under feet. And we thought of thousands and thousands of good wos men in different places who love, are good, and true, and pure, and kind who deserve happiness here and Heaven hereater. All over the land we saw them as we walked home. The entire line of clouds seemed to be rolled back" by some great hand as somebody said, "Look at them everywhere.,' And we did look into thousands of homes. By the farmer's fire and in the woodman's cabin. By the 6ick bed and kneeling with grief-laden hearts and tear-wet faces, beside corpses and coffins. We saw them in calico and homespun by thousands, and they told all of woman's worth, love and devotion. Little do men know of woman's sorrows, heart-aches, hungenngs for love, temptations and resistings. Men go and come. The' are busy. Avenues of labor and amusement are open to them, for they have the power to open to suit themselves. They plunge into business, engage in enterprises, hunt, fish, sport, idle, dissipate, go and come, mix-, ing, talking, eager to be interested. When tired they rest, but woman's work is never done, and she mast labor on, a prisoner within close walls, like a caged bird seeing the world but not mixing therewith lest she be lost. We know of a home where a woman works cheerfully, for those she loves

And Oh, the wonderous depths of her love. She is by the bedside, the table, the chair, everywhere. She is monarch of home, queen of hearts, and willing tributes do her subjects pay. Her hand stills pain, her lips greet with such pure, earnest, loving kisses, ner words are ever so kind and gentle, while her life is not lost in selfishness. She is not a vain beauty, cold as marble, indifferent to others, caring only for herself, for position and outward adornment of her person, tyrannizing over hearts, compelled by the ukase of society to pay vows where none are due. But she is a good woman, a loving woman, a loving, affectionate, gentle, caressing woman a man always loves, and is willing to care for, protect and de fend. We love a good, warm-hearted woman. Not one of these simple beauties who are gay, painted, padded, befriz ed and befrizzled adornings of fashion without heart or true worth. Such are very nice to look upon good to flirt with nice to take to the opera, the races, the theatre, or to skirmish with when the coast is clear and willing ones seek for adventures, but she don't wear for keeps like the good, plain, sensible women who have hearts and whose worth is more than pen or tongue cau tell. Women would be better and happier if men loved them better and were more true to them. If men would strive as much to make home happy as - they do to seek it elsewhere, the world would be better. Hours do come when men admit the power, the worth or woman. JNot in sun-shine so much as in shade and storm. When engrossed with business and rolling on the sea of success, we too often forget the ones without whom life would be a blank, and only fly to the heavens and shelter the love and gen tie caresses of woman when the waves are high and to remain abroad is to per ish. Then comes the hour when all admit the power of the weaK. It is the care of woman which makes millions o homes beautiful, aud makes love's pal aces of laborer's cottages. It is the love we have for woman the lovo they have for us men, that drives ns ahead to conquests and victories. The words kindly spoken, the smile of those we love, the commendation of those we re spect of women, make men of all who are not debased and draw our hearts to them with irresislable power. And as we see them day after day patiently, earnestly toiling to help others walk, as we see them leading the weak, aiding the unfortunate, and by the wonderous power of their God given love, and the magic of their smiles, caresses, and prayers, we wonder that all men do pay more tribute to the worth of man's love New York Democrat. not wo The Indians. General Hazen at St. Louis what he .says of the Indian", etc. St. Louis, September 22. Gen. W. B. Uazen, commander of the Department of Lower Aarkansas, which embraces the Indian reservation, arrived here yesterday. lne republican ot tins morning gives an extended account of the Indians on the reservations. Their number is as follows: Cheyenne.2,200 ; Arapahoes,!,SUO, Kiowas, 1,500; Apaches, 350; Comanches 1,000 Caddos and Wycbitas, who have been on reservation for many years. Only moderate success has at tended the agricultural operations so far but improvements in this direction are expected, once they acquire habits of industry. Much trouble was occasioned atone time, and the ruin of the rcssrvation scheme was imminent, by the feeding of the Indians being transferred from the military cammander to the subsistence department, but the old system was restored and matters went smoothly again. The General thinks that it is becoming every day more apparent the only salvation for the wild Indians and safty to our border settle ments, is the reservation sj'stem. For years the Indians have been pushed Westward by the onward tide of civilization, but now there is no West to shove them to and they are being sar- j rounded and hemmed in on all sides! and a permament locality for the feeble remnant of the tribes now roaming, has become a necessity. In regard to the Quaker system the General says it is advantageous and works well. The Qua kers have much to contend with owing to their meekness and disregard of dipla3', the opposite ofwhich the Indians take so much delight in ; but the latter are finding out that the Quaker agents are unvaried in their efforts for the amelioration of their condition, and honest in dispensing the rations and annuities they are entitled to receive. Under the old sj-stem the agents seldom lived with the tribes, while the new agents abide with them. This is a great advantage. As eoon as the Indians are put down on a reservation all that is wanted is an honest administration, and that the Quakers are giving them. The only traders allowed on the reservation are post traders, who are appointed by the Department Commanders and are under military authority. The Quaker agents, now here, are Brinton and Darlington, agents of the Arapahoes and Cheyennes.and Laurie and Talen, agents of the Comanches and Koiwas, who are characterized by the General as men of great industry and integrity, and quiet and unostentatious in their manners. The Quakers are bringing oa their own men as employes and assistants in the agricultural and mechanical operations. An exchange says the difference between an editor and his wife is, "one writes articles to set, and the other sets articles to rights."

1VO. 29. 2005. A Presiding Elder Caned. me following exciting incident occurred in the South-eastern Indiana Conference, at its recent session : "As is the law of the Church, the Presiding Elders of the several districts are called, and the Bishop a9ks the con ference, whether there is anything against them. The name of Rev. Tincher, of the Jeffersonville District was called, and the usual question, 'Is there anything against Bro.Tincher?' was ask ed. One of his men rose upon his feet and said with apparent diffidence, 'Yes, Mr. Chairman, I have something against aro. lincher, and although I have not previously notified him, I hold in my hand a paper containing the verdict of ari m a rt rt!a titaff i r-v -i nm : w" V in his past conduct' Here he handed me paper to me cnairman. At this juncture Mr. Tincher arose and said in a rather excited manner: 'If the chairman please, I have not had any notice of charges against me as directed in our book of discij line. The chairman told him to be calm, and proceeded to read the paper in his hand, which was about 8 8 follows : 'We, the ministers of the Jeffersonville district, after examining his conduct during the past few years, have come to the conclusion that Rev. S. Tincher, deserves to be caned in open conference, and we hereby request the chairoiAn to proceed to execute the verdict forthwith.' Here the Bishop was handed a very beautiful and valuable gold headed cane. It was handed over to him with a very neat little speech, as a token of respect from his brethren. After Mr. Tincher recovered, for he was sold, but not for nought, he quietly remarked that if it ever became necessary for him to be caned again, he 'guessed be could bear it, especially if it come in the same way." Among the appointments made by this Conference, we notice that the Rev. William Maupin has been placed in the Milton charge. A Model Lawyer. Squire Johnson' was a model lawyer. ua iutj louowing anecaote will show: Mr. Jones once rushed into the squire s office in a great passion.

From Lucy Stone's Chiccago Speech.j Perhaps fifteen or seventeen years a go, in a very good State, I saw a woman with a pleasant Quaker face, under a simple Quaker bonnet I rather liked it and her Quaker husband sitting by her with his broad brimmed hat cn. They had spent many long j'ears together, you could see by their faces. He was just bidding her good bye as the train was starting, and I heard her ask him for a little money. I did not at all wish to hear what they said, but I heard that he had bought her a ticket, and I saw that he had taken her satchel politely on his srm. She hated to ask him for the money; a good many other women have hated to ask for it, too. She began to say, I wish I had a little" , she did not want to finish, thinking that he would think of it and give it to her; but he did not So out it come all at once. May be I'll want a little money while I am gone." The good, honest Quaker turned his face to her with surprise, and said, "What hast thou done with the quarter I gave thee last week?" Laughter and applanse. The Petersburg VaJ Exprbss has discovered what, if it had been found out a decade before, would of saved the! South a great deal of trouble. It says: I "So far, the Northern Democracy : have never rendered us the very slightest service, but they have always been ! on the qui vive to find out how they ! could most advantageously use us for their own interested purposes.'
