It is to Messiah, the Christ, that all the 
prophets bear witness ; and were we to enumer-
ate or set in order, or, still more, to comment 
upon the things written concerning Him from 
the beginning, we might indeed find a beginning, 
but most assuredly we should find no end. It 
is only, however, one single portion or class of 
the predictions regarding Him that we mean to 
take up, and that with all brevity,—the predic-
tions relating to the two great sections of His 
history—His suffering and His glory. It is 
with these that we shall now deal. 
These two periods are given at the very out-
set. The first announcement of redemption con-
tains the prediction of Messiah, the man with 
the bruised heel, and Messiah, the bruiser of the 
serpent's head. He is proclaimed to us as first 
the sufferer and then the conqueror. Under 
these two aspects the Church was to expect Him ; 
and in this twofold character the prophets have 
described Him ; and in this twofold capacity He 
speaks in the Psalms. Sometimes these two 
parts are so separated that we might almost be 
led to think that they belonged to two dis-
tinct persons, like some mighty mountain-peak 
seen from opposite sides of the valley ; and 
sorntimes they are so blended together that we 
do not wonder at those who lived before His 
coming, supposing that both must be fulfilled at 
one time, without any such interval as has taken 
place; like those stars which the telescope re-
veals to us as double and with vast space be-
tween, though to the naked eyes they unite 
their splendor, and shine as one orb in the sky 
of night. 
Taking, then, this twofold aspect of the Mes-
siah, let us mark the following points in refer-
ence to it on which the prophets dwell :—

History of the Doctrine of the Res- bodies that have been dissolved will be reformed 
again in the resurrection. 
Celsus and Lucian wrote in the second century;. 
the former was the great adversary of the Chris. 
tians and hater of Christ, while the later was 
a noted atheist. Celsus attempted to show that 
the resurrection of the same body was not the 
received and avowed doctrine of all the Chris. 
tians, but unfortunately for his case the exeep. 
tions he alleges were among the worst heretics 
of the time. He styled the doctrine, " horridly 
impure, abominable, and impossible !" As for 
Lucian's testimony it is invaluable. Of the 
Christians he writes, " Those wretches persuade 
themselves that they shall be the whole man, 
(both body and soul) immortal, and shall live 
forever. And on this account they contemn 
death, and many of them offer themselves volun-
tarily to be put to death." With such testimo-
ny from an enemy it cannot be disputed that 
the first Christians held the resurrection of the 
body. 
urrection of the Flesh, from the 
times of the Apostles to A. D. 700. 
Number Three. 
Minucus Felix, A. D. 210, thus writes,—
" Who is so foolish and brutish, as to deny that 
God who first made man can form him again as 
he was before? Is it harder to make that which 
before had no being, than to restore that which 
once had a being. All bodies when dissolved, 
whether crumbled to dust, or dissolved into mois-
ture, or reduced to ashes, or rarefied into vapor 
are lost to us, but to God, the keeper of the ele-
ments they are still preserved." This Christian 
author says the heathen objected to the Chris-
tian view on account of the Christians holding 
this view with so great and firm assurance, " as 
if they themselves had risen to life !" The doc-
trine evidently took deep root, and in their faith 
was a living reality. 
A book was put forth at this time entitled 
" Concerning the Cause of the Universe, against 
the Heathen," having it is supposed either Caius 
the Rcman Presbyter, or Hyppolytus for its 
author, who says," God will raise us all up, not 
shifting the soul out of one body into another, 
but raising up the same bodies. You, 0 ye hea-
then, because you see that these bodies are di:-
solved, do not believe that they will rise agair. 
But learn you to believe. For since ye believe, 
according to Plato that the soul was made by 
God, you ought not to disbelieve but that God 
is able to raise up to life this body which is 
compounded of the elements, and to make it im- 
mortal." 
Hippolytus in A. D. 220 wrote a book bear- 
ing the significant title "Concerning the 'testi... 
r3ction of the Flesh." Du Pin says he held 
"That it is not more difficult for God to raise up 
men after their death, than it was for him to 
p .oduce them out of nothing." 
Origen flourished A. D. 230. Of the general 
flith both previous to and in his time this learned 
but mischievous man thus testifies, " The Resur-
rection of the Flesh is the doctrine preached in all 
the churches * * Neither we nor the Holy Scrip-
t ires say that the dead shall rise out of' the 
earth with the same flesh, without any alteration 
fir the better." By this last sentence (written 
against Celsus) he only expresses the general 
doctrine that the flesh or bodies of the dead 
would be raised incorruptible. But this writer 
testifies both for and against the literal corporeal 
resurrection of the body, and leaving, says Dr. 
Hody, "the traditions of the worthy fathers, his 
predecessors, endeavored to accommodate the ,'oc-
trine of the resurrection to the notions of the 
hathen philosophers." Origen's writings,accord-
ing to Moshiem, Milner, Dupin and others, were 
a batch of puerilities, subtleties, contradictions, 
false criticisms, and fancies. He was the first 
man in the Christian church who stood up and 
dared to deny the pre-millennial advent of our 
Lord and propounded the entirely new vieW 
that the resurrection body would be purely spir- 
itual, etherial, and airy. So doing he nearly c(11 
founded the whole church, threw many Christen 
off the track, and set all Christiandom a quarrel-
ing over his writings after his death. We con-
sider it a pity that he ever lived or wrote. I 
will first gives Origen's testimony in favor of tle 
resurrection of the same body as presented in 
the following extract.

deserted streets. It was at the dusk of evening 
that three rebel soldiers. (young Hamptonians 
sent as spies by their General,) came stealthily 
to the houses of their friends, and supped with 
them ; the next night a detachment of cavalry 
galloped into the town. A spectator says, " they 
rode back very slowly ;" but upon each un-
sheathed sabre there gleamed a strange bright-
ness ; the very heavens were lUrid with light—
Virginia had applied the torch to the homes of 
her own children; and as the executioners rode 
slowly out into the solemn night, Hampton 
smouldered into ashes. 
Sadly suggestive are her ruined homesteads, 
even to an uninterested spectator; how must 
the hearts bleed of those whose fondest recollec-
tions cluster around the desolate shelterless 
hearthstones; here nothing has been spared—a 
very graveyard of homes—each crumbling wall 
a spectre and a witness—silent orators whose 
noiseless speech is eloquent with admonition. 
Beautiful even in its ashes is the old church—
the British in seventy-six made of it a barrack 
for their troops, and in the latter war a shamble, 
they used, but did not destroy. Now the pretty 
spire is level with the earth ; the old bell (given 
years ago by Queen Elizabeth,) molten and 
shapeless. In the graveyard are ancient tomb- 
stones, tiny graves, and proud sarcophage ; each 
bearing inscriptions telling some story of hope, 
and life to come ; in their midst stand the black-
ened ruins past all resurrection. Stately morun-
ers droop over crumbled fane and lowly dead—
time-worn willows are there; who sway in the 
sad gale, and chaunt mournful requiems to the de-
parted. While over all, in the Eternal heavens, 
sits God who has written, " My house shall be 
a house of' prayer, but ye have made it a den of 
thieves." " And he rent the veil of the temple 
in twain." 
Retributive justice never sleeps—first to par-
take of the iniquities of the Slave System, first 
to fall victim to the violence which it ordained ; 
the prayers of your children thrust forth from you 
with stripes, into suffering, degredation and name-
less shames, have ever ascended unto the Just 
One ; and your solemn assemblies, your rituals, 
and chimes, and organ notes, have been to him a 
mockery. Virginia and her sister states are 
learning the same bitter lesson ; learning it 
through tears and blood. The first-born of 
every household have been laid upon the sacri-
ficial altar; their fields and pleasant places are 
laid desolate. And now gathering for the last 
despairing struggle in that " battle with fate, 
which can never be won," they await inevitable 
overthrow. 
But amid the ashes of ruined Autocracies 
there will stand an enfranchised people ; from 
whom in the ripening of mellow years to come, 
there shall emerge a brighter civilization ; with 
Liberty as its consort, and all scholarly lore 
with learned arts, and skillful handicraft for its 
minister.

Pain's furnace-heat within me quivers,

And all my heart in anguish shivers 
And trembles at the fiery glow : 
And yet I whisper : As God will ! 
And in his hottest fire hold still.

On the hard anvil, minded so, 
Into his own fair shape to beat it 
With his great hammer, blow on blow : 
And yet I whisper, As God will ! 
And at his heaviest blows hold still. 
He takes my softened heart and beats it ; 
The sparks fly off at every blow ; 
He turns it o'er and o'er and heats it, 
And lets it cool and lets it glow , 
And yet I whisper, As God will ! 
And in his mighty hand hold still. 
Why should I murmur ? for the sorrow

ADVENT HERALD. 
BOSTON, MAY 5, 1863. 
JOSIAH LITCH, EDITOR. 
The readersof the Herald are most earnestly besought 
to give it room in their prayers; that by means of it God 
may bo honored and his truth advanced ; also, that it 
may be onducted in faith and love, with sobriety of judg-
ment and discernment of the truth, in nothing carried 
away into error, or hasty speech, or sharp,unbrotherly 
disputation. 
The Summer Campaign. 
If the cause in which we are engaged is worth 
anything, it is worth prosecuting with the utter-
most vigor. At such a time as this, while heaven 
and earth are moved in the great. conflict, and pre-
paratory to what is yet before us, it ill becomes 
those who are looking for the speedy consumma-
tion of the hope of Israel to be listless or indifferent 
to the great work before us. We must lay our-
selves out for a vigorous campaign this coming sea-
son. Our churches and their pastors in towns and 
cities are all ready and willing to sacrifice for the 
good of the cause, and churches will spare their pas-
tors and assist in sustaining them, to go out into 
t ie country places and hold grove-meetings, camp. 
meetings, or conferences, or give courses of lectures 
on the Lord's coming and kindred doctrines—and 
Pastors will love to do if. Let brethren and friends 
in the country look around and find suitable places 
for such meetings, and make arrangements as soon 
as possible. One or two preachers, with what as-
sistance a few good, warm-hearted brethren can ren-
der, is enough to carry on a grove or even camp-
meeting. So let them be multiplied. For ourselves, 
we expect to spend a large part of the time in such 
services the coming season. We shall arrange to 
attend as many of the annual conferences as possi-
ble, and then to hold camp or grove-meetings, where 
the way opens. 
We shall attend the conference at Morrisville, Pa., 
May 26th, and hope to meet brethren from all parts 
of the State, New York and New England. Then 
we have a pressing invitation to attend the Canada 
East and Northern Vermont Conference, in June, 
with which we shall, if possible, comply. It would 
be like cold water to a thirsty soul to meet our old 
friends of Canada East, where we went twenty-one 
years ago, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of 
God, and held the first Advent camp-meeting ever 
held ; and where the word of the Lord had free 
course. We trust to see such days return. 
There are many isolated brethren who long for 
Advent preaching in their neighborhoods ; and they 
can have it as well as not, if they make a little ef-
fort. Their neighbors, if they are nor able to do 
it themselves, will help them to fit up a grove or 
orchard, for a four or five days' meeting, and would 
all turn out to hear. So du not be faint-hearted, 
We have many places in our mind now, where the 
experiment has been tried and proved successful. 
Ministers and people, then, let us be all at it and 
always at it. 
Christian and Ministerial Effort. 
TILE SECRET OE SUCCESS. 
"Tarry ye in Jerusalem till ye be endowed with 
power from on high," said our Lord and Master to 
the eleven and those who were with them. But 
how did they tarry? Was it wits careless inatten-
tion to the great object to be attained ? The Sa-
viour had promised to send the Comforter, the prom-
ise of His Father, not many days thence. They ex-
pected it. But they did not sit down and fold their 
hands and say, "He promised it and it will come." 
But they said, "He has promised and declared that 
He will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do 
it for them." With this feeling they went back 
from Olivet to Jerusalem, and commenced a prayer-
meeting among all the disciples ; and for a whole 
week they were all of one accord in one place, en-
gaged in prayer. Then came the endowing power 
upon them, and they began to ,speak as the Spirit 
gave them utterance." The effect was electrical 
and glorious. It did not take long then to obtain 
an audience, nor to make that audience tremble be-
fore God, and to accept Jesus of Nazareth as the 
true Messiah. Think of three thousand converts in 
one day ! The same results always have followed 
from then till now, when the same means have been 
used. If we wish success, it must be gained by per-
severing prayer of faith for the gift of the Holy 
Ghost to accompany the word. In our coming ef-
forts for the advancement of the cause in which we 
are engaged, we shall be successful only as we are 
filled with the Spirit. 
Ministers who go from their knees to the pulpit, 
seldom have a dry and barren time. Christians who 
gi from the closet to the prayer-meeting, breathing 
the atmosphere of love, seldom miss a good meeting. 
Those, whether minister or people, who labor much 
in secret prayer for the conversion of sinners rarely 
fail of being fruitful branches of the true vine. 
Whatever we do, then, should be done in the spirit 
of Christ and heartily as unto the Lerd. Who and 
what are we who profess to be looking for our re-
turning Lord ? 
"Souls for the marriage feast? 
Ah, yes ! But are we now— 
Robed and prepared ? 
Holy must be such guest, 
Jesus is there." 
Proposing and promising to go to the marriage 
of the Lamb, and making the needful preparation 
by putting on the wedding garment, are altogether 
different things ;—and the latter only can give us 
admission there. But the great festival is at hand. 
Such a preparation for that day will be also a prep-
aration for usefulness. 
New Work on the Prophecies. 
We have received from W. Z. Hubert, 112 N. 
10th street, Philadelphia, publisher of the Prophetic 
Times, a copy of " The last Times and the great 
Consummation," an: earnest discussion of inoinen-
tons themes ; by Joseph A. Seiss, D.D., author of 
" The gospel in Leviticus," " The parable of the 
Ten virgins," " The day of the Lord," 6' Lectures 
on the epistles to the Hebrews," etc., revised and 
enlarged edition. Philadelphia : Smith, English & 
Co., 23 N. 6th St. ; N. Y., Blakeman & Mason ; 
Boston : Gould & Lincoln ; Cin., G, S. Blanchard. 
1863. Price, $125. Postage, 19 cts. 
This work was first published in 1856, but is now 
revised and enlarged by the addition of between 100 
and 200 pages, conforming the work to his more 
matured views, after seven years study and observa-
tion of passing events. 
To those who are acquainted with the writings 
of Dr. Seise, the work will need no commendation 
from U9. To those who are not thus acquainted, 
we will say that without endorsing all its peculiar-
ities, we regard this work as among the best which 
have eminated from the press either in Europe or 
America, on the subject of the coming reign of 
Christ. It is a work of great vigor of thought and 
argument, and we doubt not will do much to help 
forward the great work of arousing and instructing 
the church and alarming the world, that they may 
prepare for the great event. 
He presents briefly his reasons for regarding Na-
poleon 3d as the coming Antichrist of the last days. 
On the subject of the time of the Advent he says : 
" 1 have been unable to fix upon any precise time. 
Some profess to know it ; I do not. Christ may 
come in three, seven, or ten years ; or not so soon. 
But I wish to bear my distinct testimony, that I 
believe His coming is at hand, and that we ought 
to be ready and expecting it any and every day." 
The New Tract 
By Rev. D. Bosworth, is now ready for distribu-
tion. " The Cup of Wrath taken from the Hand 
of the Jews and Put into the Hand of the 
Gentile—A Sign of the Times." 
The design of this tract is to show that the times 
of the Gentiles, (Luke 21 : 24,) are closing up, and 
the great day of God's wrath on the nations is at 
hand. The facts enunciated as to a change in the 
condition of the Jews among the nations is conclu-
sive evidence that Messiah's throne is soon to be set 
up. For, said the Lord, (Ezek. 21 : 27—"It shall 
be no more till He come whose right it is, and I will 
give it Him." . 
Price-30 cents per hundred, or $2 50 per thou-
sand. Postage paid. 
We hope to see thousands of the little messengers 
floating on the wings of all winds this season. We 
must make this a business. More are to follow this 
if the friends will furnish us the means of publish-
ing, as we doubt not they will. The orders are 
coming in. Those who send can have the tracts for 
distribution, or leave it with us to circulate them. 
Let tract distribution associations be formed in 
every place where we have friends. Never go to the 
work without asking a blessing on the tract. Those 
who want tracts and will distribute them, should 
send al once, even if they can't pay for them. We 
shall give till our fund for tracts is exhausted. We 
do not mean to keep it idle.

HEALTII REFORM LECTURES.—Dr. J. C. Jackson, 
M. D., the principal director of " Our Home," at 
Dansville, N. Y., has during the past week given a 
course of five lectures on the above subject, in Mer-
cantile Hall, Summer St., in this city. Quite an in-
terest has been awakened on the subject, and it is 
proposed at a future time to organize a society in 
Boston, to promote this reformation. His visit to 
the city was quite successful and satisfactory to 
those interested. 
The nature of the lectures will be gathered from 
the following programe :- 
1st, " The Health Reformation ;" 2d, " The 
Health Reformation and what it is doing ;" 3d, 
Causes of Disease ;" 4th, " Woman's Right to 
Health ;" 5th, " The Hygienic Treatment, or natural 
methods of curing disease."

THE ADVEN F HERALD 
was made for the government to send a mail agent 
in the ship, who would represent an official guar-
anty that she was bound to the port for which she 
cleared. Earl Russell promised to consider the pro-
posal. He expressed much surprise on hearing of 
the detention of the officers and supercargo on 
board the Peterhoff, they not being criminals nor 
subject to criminal law. A policy of insurance 
was attempted to be effected at Loyds on the 16th, 
the vessel being furnished with a certificate from 
Mr. Adams addressed to Admiral Du Pont, dated 
from the United States Legation, London, and stat-
ing that Messrs. Howell and Tidman have furnished 
Mr. Adams with evidence that the vessel was really 
bound to hlatamoras with a cargo for tate Mexicans, 
and he therefore cheerfully gave them a certificate 
at their request. The Times, in an editorial says : 
" Mr. Adams has transferred the police of the Mexi-
can land frontier to English ports of shipment, by a 
system of passes for English goods and merchandise, 
without which they are not to reach the Mexican 
coast. The one safeguard he has granted evidently 
had a money value, since it was produced at Loyd's 
in order to obtain insurance. If it was likely to re-
duce the premium it gave the shippers an unfair 
advantage over all the firms to which Mr. Adams, 
from caprice or misinformation, might refuse his 
pass, but the commerce of England will not accept 
an exemption that gives it freedom of action on 
an American ticket of leave. All the coast of Mex-
ico is neutral territory, and by no right can one of 
its ports be blockaded. In continuing our commer-
cial intercourse with Mexico we deny even the lia 
bility to any detention or interruption. The traffic 
is legitimate and cannot be carried on in letters of 
permits and certificates from the U. S. Legation. 
English merchants cannot go as suppliants to fur-
eign ministers for licenses to transact business. The 
whole proceeding is monstrous, whether as a calcu- 
lation or a blunder." The Times' city article gives 
further particulars of the affair. It says the gentle- 
man named in the pass by Mr. Adams are Mr. 
Howell, an American contractor, and Gen. Zirman 
of the Mexican army, and it was the agents of these 
persons who attempted to enct an insurance. Mr. 
Adams, in a letter, said he granted the certificate 
on account of the creditable object in view, which 
object was to ship arms and ammunition for the 
Mexicans in the war against France. The insur-
ance proposed was 80,000 pounds sterling on the 
arms, and 30,000 on the ships' freight. Lord R. 
Cecil, asked if it was true that spies had been sent 
to Liverpool to watch the dockyards and confederate 
agents. Sir G. Grey denied that any spies had 
been employed by the Government. The facts were 
these ; Earl Russell had received a letter from the 
American Minister containing various allegations in 
reference to the infringement of the foreign enlist 
ment at Liverpool. The Mayor of Liverpool had 
consequently been requested to make inquiries, but 
no suggestion had been made as to the manner in 
which such inquiries should be made. He was af-
terwards informed that the head constable of Liver-
pool had made inquries, and neither the Mayor nor 
watch committee had raised any objections.

It has done wonders in the army, and could it be thorough-

of lives and the government great expense. We warrant 
it to do more than any other preparation now known by 
doctors or others. 
FOREIGN AFFAIRS. 
Our latest foreign arrivals are from Liverpool 18th 
to New York 30th inst. A portion of the news which 
we publish below, is somewhat interesting as re-
gards our relations with France and England. The 
hope which we indulged, as expressed in our last 
issue, is changed to gloomy forebodings again. 
England.—On the 6th, a deputation of shippers 
and merchants interested in the Mexican trade, 
waited on Earl Russall. The importance of the in-
terview was considerably enhanced by an announce-
ment made during its progress, that while the Unit-
ed States Government has been seizing British ves-
sels bound to Matamoras without any contraband 
on hoard, Mr. Adams has given special license for a 
ship to proceed from England to Matamoras free 
from interference by American cruisers, to carry sup. 
plies, which are stated to consist of arms and am-
munition for the Mexicans in the war with France. where an outbreak is reported. 
It was also shown that the interference of the Fed- 
Poland.—The Paris Pays says the dispatches of 
England, France and Austria were presented to 
Russia on the 17th. A Vienna dispatch says the 
question threatened to assume greater complications. 
Great excitement prevailed in Norway and Sweden 
regarding Poland. The Courts of Italy and Portu-
gal had conveyed to St Petersburg their adhesion to 
the notes of the three powers. The revolutionary 
Committee had divided Poland into twenty-three 
districts, each to furnish 400 men and pay taxes. 
Since the publication of the amnesty, it is asserted, 
the movements of the insurgents had become more 
active. Numerous engagements are reported. An 
attack on Kallisch was daily expected. 
Spain.—Napoleon has addressed an autograph 
letter to the Queen of Spain, in rather pressing 
terms on behalf of imprisoned Protestants. 
Greece.—It is stated that Bavaria has entered a 
special protest against the occupation of the Greek 
throne by any king not belonging to the Bavarian 
dynasty. The National Assembly of Greece has 
formed a new Ministry, and voted thanks to Eng-
land for the proposed cession of the Ionian Islands. 
A Copenhagen journal says the difficulties which 
opposed Prince William's acceptance of the Greek 
throne have been removed. 
India and China.—The Imperialists have again 
been defeated at Shoonshing for want of besieging 
material. The British fleet has gone to Japan 
The receipts at the Government Treasury in New 
York, on Wednesday, were nearly three millions of 
dollars, of which two millions were deposited at 5 
per cent., and one million two hundred thousand

The Latest News. 
ARMY MOVEMENTS. 
The army news for the past week is indeed cheer-
ing ! All the armies of the North are again in mo-
tion ! Gen. Hooker's whole army has crossed the 
Rappahannock, and is " pushing the enemy to the 
wall." Continual skirmishing has been going on 
for several days, and 600 or 700 prisoners have been 
captured. Gen. Hooker has issued the following 
stirring address to his troops :— 
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, 
NEAR FALMOUTH, APRIL 30. 
GENERAL ORDERS No. 47. It is with satisfaction 
the commanding general announces to the army 
that the operations of the last three days have deter 
mined that our enemy must ingloriously fly or 
come out from behind his defences and give us bat-
tle on our ground, where certain destruction awaits 
him. The operations of the 5th, llth, and 12th 
corps have been a succession of splendid achieve-
ments. 
By command of Maj. Gen. Booker, 
(Signed) C. WILLIAMS, 
Assistant Adjutant General. 
The latest news from Vicksburg is to the 28th. 
 
The entire army of Gen. Grant was in motion. We 
have now nine gunboats, two rams and seven trans- 
ports, besides a large number of flat boats and 
barges, below Vicksburg. They were protected in 
running the batteries by bales of cotton and hay. 
Gen. Steel, during his late expedition, destroyed 
over a million bushels of corn and quantities of ba-
con, and captured 500 mules and nearly as many 
cattle. 
Another attack is to be made upon Charleston im-
mediately. The affair is said to have been arraign-
ed for the 3d inst. The land foic:! will co-operate 
with the navy in this second attack. 
The results, among others. of Gen. Banks' expe-
dition, are : accomplishing a march of over 200 
miles ; beating the enemy in three battles, two on 
land, one on Grand Lake ; dispersing the rebel 
army utterly ; destroying the rebel navy ; captur-
ing the foundries of the enemy at Franklin and New 
Iberia, and demolishing the salt works ten miles 
south-west of the latter place ; capturing the camp 
equipage of the enemy, also several guns and 
between 1000 and 2000 prisoners, and so derang-
ing the plans of the rebels that they cannot 
for some months, if ever, reorganize his land 
and naval forces in that portion of Louisiana. 
Other successes of Gen. Banks, already known t 
the public, are mentioned. Our loss in the two 
land battles was 600 or 700. Nothing could ex-
ceed the conduct of the officers and privates in Gen. 
Banks' command. The dispatches say : "We have 
not only destroyed the army and navy of the enemy, 
and captured his materials for the reorganization 
of his force, but we have also in our possession his 
ablest officers of the sea and land." 
We have the gratifying intelligence that the rebel 
privateer "Retribution" was captured off the port 
of St. Domingo, March 28th, by the United States 
steamer Alabama, and when last seen had her in tow. 
eral cruisers with the Mexican trade had the effect 
to enable the Americans to establish a monoply. 
As the immediate object of the deputation was to

WELLCOME'S IMPORTANT REMEDIES ? 
WHEN I began to offer my remedies for sale I was 
timid and spoke cautiously, fearing I might act the 
quack. But having proved them in all forms of such dis-
eases as they are adapted to, and seeing the astonishing 
effects of them in the cure of the most distressing cases 
in all classes of constitutions and stages of disease; and 
having received thousands of testimonials of the most 
flattering character, we now speak with all boldness, con-
fident that they are above all estimate. 
1. THE GREAT GERMAN COUGH REMEDY.—For all diseas- 
es of the Throat and Lungs.—We refer to a few cases: N. 
Dickson, Boston, Mass.; Elder S. K. Partridge, White- 
field, Me.; Mr. S. Bradley, Vienna, Me.; Mrs. T. Hur- 
ley, Newcastle, Me.; Miss Amanda Lougee, Hallowell, 
Me.; Mrs. D. N. Kidder Bristol, N. H.; Mrs. Weedon,

of Bronchitis. Elder A. C. Hodgkins, Vienna; Mrs. B. 
Woodside, Brunswick, Me.; Mr. Joseph Ford, Jefferson,

some of whose lives were saved by it, a'l other remedies 
failing. For common colds, hoarseness, coughs, sore 
lungs, &c., thousands testify it is the best and cheapest 
ever used.

From a Philadelphia Merchant. 
DEAR SIR:—This morning Mr. J. Allison Eyster 
showed me a twenty-five cent piece just ejected from his 
throat, which he swallowed accidentally eleven months 
ago, while showing his children some tricks. Ho had 
suffered very much, and had applied to his physician at 
Chambersburg, without help; then placed himself under 
the care of the celebrated Dr. Horace Greene, of New 
York—suffered much from his treatment, without help. 
He then placed himself under the care of Dr. Gerhart, of 
Philadelphia, who did not relieve him. On my return 
acme from Yarmouth, Me., 1 induced him to try Well-
come's Great German Cough Remedy. Ho took two bot-
tles, and last Thursday, Dee. Ilth, while coughing and 
throwing up mucus, he ejected the piece of money which 
would have 1411ed him. 
H. H. Maakhar. 
Dec. 17, 1862. 
DEAR Stn:—Send me one bottle of "Wellcome's Great 
German Remedy," and one bottle of "Wellcome's Liver 
Regulator." I have been sick one year, had a council of 
six doctors, took their remedies. They called my case 
"Spinal Affection and Liver Compla'nt." Could not cure 
me. I took one bottle of the Great German Remedy, and 
got more help from it than all else I have taken. 
Watertown, Vt., Jan. '14, 1863. E. J. WALTON. 
A Strong Case. 
Mrs Herley had one of the most afflicting cases of Bron-
chitis, had nearly lost her speech, talked with great diffi-
culty and distress, and seemed nearly past the reach of 
help, when she commenced taking the Great German Rein-
-edy, after being some months under care of doctors, in 
great weakness and debility. 
TESTIMONY. 
MR. WELLCOME:—My wife is getting well; the Great 
German Remedy is helping her. She is fast improving, 
and we are c rrulating the news of what your medicine is 
doing all around amongst our neighbors. It has dune a 
great cure for another woman in our town. We are satis- 
fied it is a valuable medicine. THOMAS HERLEY. 
 
Newcastle, Me., Oct. 27, 1860. 
Ma. WELLCOME: —Some months ago you left at my store 
some Great German Remedy, which sold very readily, and 
gives the best satisfaction of any cough remedy I sell, and 
I keep all the popular articles of the day. I have sold 
the last bottle, and have frequent calls for it. Should like 
to have you send a supply at once. F. S. BRYANT.

LIVER REGULATOR AND DYSPEPTIC CURER. — C. 
White, of Richmond, Me., says: "It is the best article for 
Liver Complaint I have ever seen. It has benefitted my 
wife more than one hundred dollars." George Webber, 
Litchfield, Me., says: "It has worked wonders for my 
daughter, who has been three years under doctors' treat-
ment without benefit. Your Liver Regulator has cured 
her. We had lost all hope of her getting well." Mr. J. 
S. Carter, Waterville, says: "I have used two bottles and 
and it double extra. It is a valuable medicine." Mrs. 
E. Johnson, Pittston, confined to her bed five years, says: 
"I have used one bottle; it agrees with me, and keeps my 
food from souring, relieves faintness. Please send more 
Min eliately." Mr. W. Chase, of Bangor, says: "I have 
used your Liver Regulator with much profit to myself. 
and think much of it." Mr. Samuel Loring, of North 
Yarmouth, took one bottle of "Wellcome's Liver Regula-
tor," and says: "It has benefited me more than a hundred 
dollars." Mrs. Nancy Humphrey, of Yarmouth, says: "I 
have used Wellcome's Liver Regulator, and think it to be 
an excellent medicine for liver compla;ints." Mr. W. L. 
Road!, Hatley, C. E., says: "Your Liver Regulator is a 
most excellent medicine. I have used it in n y own fami-
ly. It gives satisfaction wherever used." Young & Cut-
ler, West Camden, say: "Your Liver Regulator is all 
sold; send us more. We can send you some first-rate cer-
tificatas of cures effected by it" C. II. Robinson, Litch-
field, Me., says: "I waat two bottles of Wellcom0's Liv-
er Regulator;" it is doing great things in this neighbor-
hood." We have great numbers of such certificates. 
WELLCOME'S PAIN CURER.—Elder I. Wight, Augus-
ta, says: "It is the best thing for an irritated throat and 
lungs, and for chclic I ever saw." Elder A. C. Hodgkins, 
Vienna, says: "It is being successfully used here for the 
cure of diptheria. Send me a lot immediately; what I 
had is all sold." J. W. Griffia, Stark, says: "It takes 
the lead of all other articles of that description; it is be-
ing used with good success for diptheria. I have not heard 
of a siegle instance where it has failed; send three dozen 
more." D. N. Kidder, Bristol, N. II., says: "Your med-
icines are doing wonderful cares, especially the Pain Curet. 
One ease of sciatic rheumatism has been cured by one bot-
tle. It puts 'Perry Davis' Pain Killer' all in the shade." 
Wm. Baker, Yarmouth, says he cured a valuable horse of 
lameness and swelled leg with the Pain Curer. Thou-
sands are being cured of various pains, cramps, colics, 
rheumatism, sprains, urinary troubles and neuralgia, for 
which it is a sure cure. In oar store we retail ten times 
more of it than all other liniments.

uable Salve." 
" I received a wound in my foot by a rusty nail ; by 
reason of which I could not set my foot to the floor for 
two weeks. The pain was excruciating. When your Gol-

and two and a half boxes of it wrought a perfect cure."—
Mrs. Lucinda A. Swain, Merideth Centre, N. II. 
Mr. II. L. W. Roberts, Editor of Marion Intelligencer,

THE GOLDEN SALVE—A GREAT HEALING REMEDY.—It 
is with much pleasure we announce the advent of this new 
article in our city, which has met with such signal success 
in Lowell, where it is made, that the papers have teemed 
with cases of truly marvelous cures. They chronicle one 
where the life of a lady was recently saved—a case of bro-
ken breast ; another where the life of a child was saved—
a case of chafing ; another of a lady whose face was much 
disfigured by scrofulous humor, which was brought to a 
healthy action in a few days ; also another of an old man, 
who had a sore on his foot for twenty years—cured in a

THE ADVENT HERALD. 
Four new members were added during our meetings. 
Some of the members of this church having em-
braced the doctrines of the "age to come," so called, 
withdrew some time since and organized a church of 
their own. Elder Stephenson was with them when 
I was there, and attended my lectures, and took 
notes, with a, view to review them after I had left, 
to which I had no possible objection, and about 
which I have felt no concern. I am an Adventist, 
and the doctrines I hold and preach have been tried 
and proved to be good. So far as I have become 
acquainted with the doctrine and usages of the "age 
to come," I have not been favorably impressed. 
But let every one be fully persuaded in their own 
mind. 
Brother and sister Mansfield came West in the 
early history of the cause, and have been faithful. 
And they are still laboeing for its unity and pros-
perity. They have my prayers for their future suc-
cess. I hope my visit will prove a blessing to them 
and the flocks under their care in Buchanan and else-
where. They are worthy, and should be sustained 
in their work. 
The proposed camp-meeting in June I trust will 
give the cause a new impetus, and that we shall see 
prosperity in all this region. Let all rally and come 
up to the feast of tabernacles in June next. 
Thursday, Jan. 29th. Rose at 4, A. M., and took 
carriage with brother Baker and others for South 
Bend, Ind.. Tbok the car for Ilillsdale, the place 
of my next meeting. We had a bad road, but 
made the distance in season, for our knowledge of 
the time. But we were led into an error on the 
time. We were informed that the car started at 
9 o'clock 40 minutes. But the true time was b 
o'clock 20 minutes. So we were too late ! So much 
for not knowing the true time. Our Saviour con-
demned the Jewish church for their ignorance of the 
time of their visitation. "And when He was come 
near, He beheld the city, and wept over it, saying, 
If thou hadet known, even thou in this thy day, the 
things which belong to thy peace, but now they are 
hid from thine eyes—because thou knewest not the 
time of thy visitation ;" Luke 19 : 41-44. The 
disappointment to me was slight, because there was 
another train in which 1 could get to my appoint-
ment. But to the Jewish church there was nu other 
time. The last hour of probation was gone. "The 
harvest was past and the summer was ended, and 
they were net saved." So it will be with the Gen-
tile church. If she in her blindness rejects the light 
on the prophetic periods and says, "My Lord delay_ 
eth His coining, He will come in an hour that they 
know not, and cut them off from the inheritance of 
His people. "When these things begin to conic to 
pass, then look up ; know ye that the kingdom of 
God is nigh at hand." 
"0 solemn, dreadful, glorious news ! 
The "Gentile times" about to close ! 
And Zion's King appear ! 
Ah! then what fearfulness shall seize 
Those virgins who have lived at ease, 
Nor thought the Bridegroom near. 
Awake ! arise ! ye sleepers all, 
'Tie mercy's latest gracious call, 
Sinners, why will you die? 
And ye who have a name to live, 
But daily do the Spirit grieve, 
For pardon quickly fly." 
I took the night train, which lay over at Middle-
bury station, and stopped over night with the sta-
tion agent. I had hardly got seated before I got 
into conversation with his wife, who was formerly 
from Connecticut, and a religious and very intelli-
gent woman, on the subject of the end of the world. 
She inquired about the six thousand years and other 
periods, on which I gave her what light I had, and 
also furnished her with papers to give her more full 
information on the suhject. I doubt not some good 
will come of this call. In the afternoon 1 took the 
car for Hillsdale, Mich., where I met Elder Seymour, 
who took me to his home in Reading, eight miles. 
I had not met brother and sister Seymour since our 
c imp-meeting in Scottsville, N. Y., twenty year, 
ago. Our meeting was a joyful one. These old 
soldiers who have been through all the war, have 
sympathies and fellowship that others cannot feel. 
0, I hope we sha'l all march into the kingdom to-
gether. That will be a glorious day. The "Lord 
hasten it in its time." JOSHUA V. RIMES.

From Rev. M. Baxter. 
Second Advent Preaching in Canada West. 
BROTHER LITCII :—As an important chronicle of 
the progress of the Second Advent cause, your use-
ful journal should record the doings not only of 
members of the Second Advent denomination, but 
also of other sects, even although the views of such 
of them as advocate the imminence and nearness of 
Christ's return may differ in some-details from such 
as are upheld by the publishing committee of your 
paper. 
One of the estimable features of the character of 
the late lamented Sylvester Bliss was his willing-
ness to admit to the columns of your journal state-
ments of the views of the Second Advent advocates 
in other denominations, although they diflered some-
what from his own—a praiseworthy manifestation 
of freedom from sectarianism and narrow-minded-
ness, which a certain other Second Advent journal 
would do well to imitate, and which in these days 
is the more pleasing to meet with, seeing that there 
is so much bigotry and illiberal sectarianism among 
many of those who loudly profess themselves freeel 
from it, and yet denounce every sect but their own 
as being part and parcel of Babylon. [A] 
I am sure that some ef your readers, who are glad 
to hear of the increased proclamation of the speedy 
coming of Christ, will be interested to be informed 
of the attention that is being given to the subject in 
Canada West in some of the places I have recently 
been lecturing in. 
After spending about five months in Philadelphia, 
where I preached on this subject in about twenty 
Episcopal and other churches, and also in Diligent 
Hall, I left for Canada West, and arrived in Dunn-
ville, C. W., a place of about fifteen hundred inhab-
itants, in the seoond week in March. Here I re-
mained a fortnight giving several lectures in the 
Episcopal and Wesleyan churches to crowded houses, 
and also in the Boswell Hall, which was filed with 
about five hundred persons on two successive Sunday 
evenings. Most of the leading inhabitants of the 
town, and the Baptist, Wed •yan, Presbyterian and 
Episcopal ministers attended the dozen lectures I 
gave there, and some evenings many were crowded 
out of the place of lecture. The subject was the 
general topic of discussion and conversation in the 
town and neighborhood, and a deep interest was 
awakened in the minds of many. 
There is a great difference between Canada West 
and most parts of the United States, as I have re-
peatedly found from experience, in regard to the 
hearing that can be obtained on these questions. In 
many towns of the same size in the United States, I 
might scarcely have obtained more than a dozen or 
fifty people, so much unbelief and especial aversion 
to Second Adventism prevails generally in the States, 
except among professed Second Adventists. This is 
owing, I believe, to the fact that there is less infidel-
ity in Canada than in the States, and also that 
wherever the Scotch and English element prevails, 
there is more general respect for religion and Sec-
ond Adventism. Whatever the cause may be, I 
have invariably found that I could obtain far larger 
audiences in the British Provinces than in the States. 
I may suggest to those who may travel here lectur-
ing on prophecy, that the best time for discourses 
in a public ball on Sunday, is in the afternoon, at 
three o'clock, and in the evening, at eight, imme-
diately after the usual half-past six o'clock services 
are finished. For instance, I preached on two Sun-
lay evenings in the Episcopal church at half-past 
six o'clock, to full houses, mad immediately after-
wards at eight o'clock, in the Boswell Hall, to a 
still larger gathering, consisting of those who had 
just come out of the Methodist and Presbyterian 
churches, and who, although they would not leave 
their regular church services, were yet willing to 
come afterwards. 
The views which I set forth, and which in con-
junction with accompanying Gospel exhortations to 
sinners, excite so much attention in the places I here 
visited, are not of the vague, indefinite, diluted, un 
certain character, which some who style themselves 
preachers on the prophecies, bold forth ; but their 
nature may be apprehended from the announcement 
of them that 1 make in the newspapers and by pla-
cards, and which specifi, s them to he lectures upon

of the earth who are spared, and converted, and sur-
vive after 1870, when the millennium will continue 
for one thousand years. Rev. 20. 
During the last two or three years these definite 
views have been embraced by considerable numbers. 
My book upon "Louis Napoleon the destined Mon-
arch of the World," (360 pages,) is attaining an in-
creasing circulation, as well as my "Corning Bat-
tle," which expresses the same views, and has been 
reprinted and widely circulated in Great Britain, 
and although sneered at by certain half-educated, 
ignorant persons I might name, who fancy they un-
derstand all the prophecies, but who possess merely 
a superficial smattering of prophetic knowledge, 
vet it has been deemed worthy of an extended notice 
by one of the principal English reviews-the North 
British Review, for 1862. 
Alter a fortnight's sojourn at Dunnville, with 
profitable results both in a religious and temporal 
point of view, I proceeded to Brantford, C. W., 
which contains eight thousand inhabitants, and ob-
tained the use of St. Andrew's Presbyterian church 
for ten evenings, at a dollar and a half an evening, 
as it is at present unused except for lectures. Here 
I obtained as many as five hundred listeners, some 
evenings, and likewise preached on two Sunday 
evenings upon the Second Advent, in the Episcopal 
&lurch, which holds nearly a thousand persons. The 
minister of it, the Rev. Mr. Usher, has entertained 
these views in the main for many years, and pub-
lished a pamphlet twenty or thirty years ago, show-
ing that the return of Christ would probably be 
about 1867. I also preached out of doors in the 
centre of the town on several afternoons, and was 
assured by a well-known resident of the town, named 
Mr. Charles Brown, an exceedingly pious person, 
that three weeks previous to my arrival, he saw in a 
dream or vision, a person preaching out of doors on 
the very spot I stood upon. Ile told his friends 
th a he was sure some preacher was coming to the 
place to proclaim the Gospel in the open air. Soon 
as he saw me preaching there three weeks al terwards, 
he recognized me to be the person he had previously 
beheld in his vision. 
After a successful course of lectures at Brantford, 
I arrived at London, C. W., in the first week in 
April, and was hospitably received at the house of 
S. Morrill, Esq., late Mayor of the city, and for 
twenty years an annual subscriber to the Advent 
Herald. Although seventy years of age, he exhib_ 
iesearcely any symptoms of infirmity beyond recur-
ring attacks of rheumatism, and appears to have 
every prospect of living to see the advent of Chr'st 
in i,s first stage to take away the 144,000 Wise Vir-
gins (probably about 1865,) before the three and 
one-half years' infidel persecution. Rev. 14 : 1-5 ; 
got. 25 : 1-10 ; Rev. 3 : 10. He was a Second 
Advent believer* in the 1843 movement. IIis unu-
sual vigor, for a person of such advanced age, is 
doubtless in some measure attributable to being an 
early riser and much in the fresh air, and having 
maintained the principle of total abstinence, as well 
as to the cheerful home which he enjoys, presided 
over by his amiable consort. I gave a dozen lec-
tures in this city, which contains about sixteen 
thousand inhabitants, and occupied the lecture-
room of the Wesleyan church for two evenings, 
Wren the ministers and several hundred people at 
tended. I was refused the use of four other church-
es for which I applied, but obtained the Mechanic's 
Institute for two dollars a night, and had it filled

cpecially in the evenings. One of the Colonels in 
the garrison here attended nearly all the lectures, 
se well as others of the military, and is strongly of 
opinion that the views set forth are correct, although 
considerable amount of prejudice has to be over-
orate in order to believe that Great Britain is one of 
the ten horns that will fall under the power of Na-
poleon, the eighth head of the Beast ; Rev. 17 : 13. 
Yet that such is to be England's doom cannot be 
doubted in the light of the prophetic forestatements. 
A remarkable pamphlet was published in 1861 in 
Toronto, Iden Goble, a farmer of Dorchester, C. 
We ten miles from this plaee. Its title is "The 
Beast and the False Prophet Exposed." His chief 
alettsofee he believes to be, that the British empire 
aball be overthrown and London burnt in 1866, 
about which time the second coming of Christ is ex-
Pectel by him to take place. He has been preaching 
this and collateral doctrines in the open air in many 
of the places in this neigdborhood ; and although

dently, as I learn from those who know him, a

on his farm about four years since, a message came 
to him, he declares, commanding him not to confer 
with flesh and blood, but to go forth and preach and 
warn the peop le. This mandate he has subsequent-
ly obeyed to a considerable extent. His understand-
ing of Revelation and Daniel, as shown in the work 
is certainly very surprising, considering that he 
which he has published, seems to have bestowed no 
study upon them until 1860. 
There is in London. C. W., a fair number of strong 
believers in the nearness of the Second Advent, and 
in the view that Louis Napoleon is the last Head of 
the Beast, and embryo infidel Anti-christ. Of 
course they are waiting to see him make the seven-
years' covenant with the Jews, which is to be con-
firmed seven years and two and a half months be-
fore the end, (Dan. 9 : 27 ; 11 : 22, 23„28 30, 32,) 
LB] between the " Prince that shall come," that is, 
" Anti-christ that shall come " (let Jno. 2 : 18,) 
and many of the Jews, nine or ten months after the 
date of the Covenant, the Jewish sacrifice will be 
recommenced every morning and evening in the re-
constructed Jewish Temple, at the distance of 2300 
literal days, that is, six years, four months, and 
twenty days, before the end, when the sanctury will 
he cleansed by the descent of Christ upon the earth, 
(Dan. 8: 13, 16). 
The opinion is increasing among unprejudiced in-
vestigators of prophecy, that the first stage of 
Christ's advent to remove the wise virgins, will 
precede the first three and a half years' Great 
Tribulation, and that only those will be caught up 
at that time, who in addition to being converted or
eorn again, are also definitely believing in, and 
openly confessing, the certain coming of Christ at 
the present epoch. May God renew a right spirit 
within us, and prepare us for the Second Advent, 
and save us from the power of sin here, and the pen-
alty of sin hereafter, for Jesus Christ's sake. 
NO TES . 
It ever has been, and we trust ever will he, 
the policy of the Advent Herald, to give all opinions 
a hearing, within reasonable limits, and when pre-
sented in a courteous manner toward those who 
differ from them ; always reserving the right of 
criticism and review. It is thus we endeavor to 
fulfill the apostolic injunction, to " prove all things, 
and hold fast that which is good." The trouble 
with the paper in pursuing this course has often 
been, that those who have accepted its proffer have 
not relished the criticisms- 
Such a confirmation of a league or cove-
nant between Napoleon and the Jews, will of course 
be decisive ; and until it shall take place, all ar-
guments are, and must be, inconclusive. But a 
serious objection comes up in connection with the 
quotation from Dan. 11 : 23. " And after the 
league made with with him, he shall work deceit-
fully ; for he shall come up and become strong with 
a small people." From this it would seem that 
the subject of the prophecy is to have but a " small 
people " when the league is made. But Napoleon 
III. has a large people now, from thirty-six to forty 
millions. But if he should make such a league 
with the Jews, that fact would over-rule the objec-
tion and explain the text to mean, a comparatively 
"small people." A fulfillment only can fix it posi-
tively on any individual. It is true that Napoleon 
is a singular character and bears sonic characterh-
tics of the subject of this prophecy. 
The London Jewish Chronicle states on the au-
thority of a " high dignitary in the church," that 
Napoleon III., in a recent interview with one of 
the European Jewish bankers, after completing his 
financial business, said to him, " Well, Jew, when 
is your nation going back to Palestine?" " When 
your majesty is ready to lead them there," said the 
Jew. " But," said the Emperor, " are yonr peo-
ple ready to receive me as their Messiah ?" The 
Jew was silent, and they parted. This if true, is 
a striking incident, but does nut prove anything 
conclusively. 
ED. 
EFFECT OF THE CLIMATE AND CUSTOMS OF THE 
NORTH UPON THE NEGROES.-A writer in one of the 
Philadelphia papers says the Northern States can 
never be a home for the negro, as is evidenced by 
the decrease in their numbers shown by the census 
tables. In New York city, where if in any place 
at the North negroes would increase, by the census 
of 1850 there were 15,815 colored people, namely, 
10,752 blacks and 3,068 mulattoes. In 1860 there 
were only 10,831 colored people, of which 7,8f6 
were blacks and 3,005 mulatoes. So rapid is this 
decrease that should it continue for forty years only, 
at the same rate, there would not be left one so).-
tary negro, mulatto, quadroon, or octoroon, in New 
York, to show what the chattel was. The truth is 
that on the whole the Indians have not disa1peared 
from the West as rapidly as the negrots from their 
Northern headquarters, New York. Northern peo- 
pie prefer white servants. The negro is generally' 
a good idomestic only in rich families, and among 
people of aristocratic tastes and habits. He likes 
luxury, hospitaity and display, high living and 
showy liveries. He is a Southerner. Almost all 
the families of the Middle and Northern States who 
keep servants are either only moderately rich, or 
else live with little di-play as compared to the 
Southern aristocracy. People who have only one 
or two, or even three domestics, find that in the long 
run white servants are the most economical for 
them.

Tooth Powder.-Calcined bread or sugar reduced 
to fine dust is an excellent tooth powder. It eleanstS 
the mouth mechanically and chemically. It is rem e 
easily miscible with water when mixed with prepared 
chalk, hence it is preferable thus to mix it. It may 
be scented with a few drops of the oil of cinamein. 
At the expense of' a few cents, as much good tooth 
powder can thus be prepared by any person as those 
reparations of tooth powder which sell at the rare 
of twenty-five cents for a small box full. 
Indelible Ink for Labels on Bottles Containing 
Acids.-Take oit of lavender, 200 grains ; gum Cu-
pal in powder, 25 grains ; and lamp-black, 3 grains. 
Dissolve the copal in the oil of lavender coniaineu 
in a phial, by the aid of gentle heat, then mix tf e 
lamp-black a ith the solution by trituration in a 
porcelain mortar. If tio thick add a little turpen-
tine. This is an indellible black ink. To make a 
red ink of the same quality add vermillion to the 
copal solution. Amber varnish ground with lamp-
black makes a good black ink also ; it colored with 
vermilion, it makes a red ink. Such inks dry very 
slowly. 
OBITUARY. 
In the little grave-yard near the pilgrim home of 
Bro. Samuel and sister Sally Mitchell, of Litchfield, 
Me., there quietly reposeth, WILLIAM M. MITCHELL, 
the it son, who ended his pilgrimage April, 1st, 
1863, aged 31 years, 6 months. 
His sufferings were intense in his last hours, but 
the peace that Jesus gives filled his heart and he 
suffered patiently. He was conscious to the last-
calling his weeping friends around him, he gave 
them all the parting hand, saying, " I am going," 
" Meet me in the kingdom," " Praise the Lord,'' 
and tell asleep in Jesus, 
" Blessed sleep, 
From which none ever wake to weep." 
May the dear parents, and sorrowing children be 
sustained in this hour of deep trial by the blessed 
hope of the gospel. William will sleep but a short 
time, fur the night is wearing fast away, and very 
soon, a voice liar sweeter than the most enchanting 
music will say :- 
William, 'tis morn, awake, 
And in my image rise ; 
Of richest joys partake 
In my blest Paradi e.

SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS DISEASES. 
From Emery Edes, a well-known merchant of Oxford, 
Maine. 
" I have sold large quantities of your SARSAPARILLA, 
but never yet one bottle which failed of the desired effect 
and full satisfaction to those who took it. As fast as our 
people try it, they agree there has been no medicine like 
it before in our community." 
Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Ulcers, 
Sores, and all Diseases of the Skin. 
From Rev. Robt. Stratton, Bristol, Enytwid. 
" I only do my duty to you and the public, when I add 
my testimony to that you publish of the medicinal virtues 
of your SARSAPARILLA. My daughter, aged ten, had an 
afflicting humor in her ears, eyes, and hair for years, 
which we were unable to cure until we tried your SAR-
SAPARILLA. She has been well for some months." 
From Mrs. Jane E. Rice, a well-known and much-esteemed 
lady of Dennisrille, Cape May Co., N. J. 
"My daughter has suffered for a year past with a scrof-
ulous eruption, which was very troublesome. Nothing 
afforded any relief until we tried your SARSAPARILLA, 
which 300U completely cured her." 
From Charles P. Gage, Esq., of the widely-known firm of 
Gage, Murray, 4- Co. manufacturers of enamelled pa-
pers in Nashua, N. H. 
I had for several years a very troublesome humor in 
my face, which grew constantly worse until it disfigured 
my features and became an intolerable affliction. I tried 
almost everything a man could of both advice and medi-
cine, but without any relief whatever, until I took your 
SARSAPARILLA. It immediately made my face worse, 
as you told me it might for a time; but in a few weeks 
the new skin began to form under the blotches, and con-
tinued until my face is as smooth as anybody's, and I am 
without any symptoms of the disease that I know of. I 
enjoy perfect health, and without a doubt owe it to your 
SARSAPARILLA." 
Erysipelas-General Debility-Purify the Blood. 
From Dr. Robt. Sawin, Houston St., N. Y. 
Dn. AYER: I seldom fail to remove Eruptions and 
Scrofulous Sores by the persevering use of your SAR-
SAPARILLA, and I have just now cured an attack of 
Malignant Erysipelas with it. No alterative we possess 
equals the SARSAPARILLA you have supplied to the pro-
fession as well as to the people." 
From J. E. Johnston' 
 Esq., Wakeman, Ohio. 
"For twelve years 1 had theyellow Erysipelas on my 
right arm, during which time I tried all the celebrated 
physicians I could reach, and took hundreds of dollars' 
worth of medicines. The ulcers were so bad that the 
cords became visible, and the doctors decided that my 
arm must be amputated. I began taking your SARSA-
PARILLA. Took two bottles, and some of your PILLS. 
Together they have cured me. I am now as well and sound 
as anybody. Being in a public place, my case is known to 
 
everybody in this community, and excites the wonder of 
all." 
From Hon. Henry Motors, M. P. P., of Newcastle, C. W., 
a leading member of the Canadian Parliament. 
"I have used your SARSAPARILLA in my family, for 
general debility, and for purifying the blood, with very 
beneficial results, and feel confidence in commending it 
to the afflicted." 
St. Anthony's Fire, Rose, Salt Rheum, Scald 
Head, Sore Eyes. 
From Harvey Sickler, Esq., the able editor of the Tank-
hannock Democrat, Pennsylvania. 
"Our only child, about three years of age, was attacked 
by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly spread until 
they formed a loathsome and virulent sore, which cov-
ered his face, and actually blinded his eyes for some days. 
A skilful physician applied nitrate of silver and other rem-
edies, without any apparent effect. For fifteen days we 
guarded his hands, lest with them be should tear open the 
festering and corrupt wound which covered his whole 
face. Having tried every thing else we bad any hope 
from, we began giving your SARSAPARILLA, and apply-
ing the iodide of potash lotion, as you direct. The sore 
began to heal when we had given the first bottle, and 
was well when we had finished the second. The child's 
eyelashes, which had come out, grew again, and he is 
now as healthy and fair as any other. The whole neigh-
borhood predicted that the child must die." 
Syphilis and Mercurial Disease. 
From Dr. Hiram Stoat, of St. Louis, Missouri. 
"I find your SARSAPARILLA a more effectual remedy 
for the secondary symptoms of Syphilis, and for syphilitic 
disease titan any other we possess. The profession are in 
debted to you for some of the best medicines we have." 
From A. J. French, M. D., an eminent physician of Law-
rence, Mass., who is a prominent member of the Legi.s. 
lattice of MaSsachusetts. 
"DR. AYER-My dear Sir: I have found your SAR-
SAPARILLA an excellent remedy for Syphilis, both of the 
primary and secondary type, and effectual in some cases 
that were too obstinate to yield to other remedies. I do 
not know what we can employ with more certainty of 
success, where a powerful alterative is required." 
Mr. Chas. S. Van Liew, of New Brunswick, N. J., had 
dreadful ulcers on his legs, caused by the abuse of mer-
cury, or mercurial disease, which grew more and more 
aggravated for years, in spite of every remedy or treat-
ment that could be applied, until the persevering use of 
AYER'S SARSAPARILLA relieved him. Few cases can be 
found more inveterate and distressing than this, and it 
took several dozen bottles to cure him. 
Leucorrhcea, Whites, Female Weakness, 
are generally produced by internal Scrofulous Ulceration, 
and are very often cured by the alterative effect of this 
SARSAPARILLA. Some cases require, however, in aid 
of the SARSAPARILLA, the skilful application of local 
remedies. 
Front the well-known and widely-celebrated Dr. Jacob 
Morrill, of Cincinnati. 
"I have found your SARSAPARILLA an excellent alter-
ative in diseases of females. Many cases of irregularity, 
Leucorrhcea, Internal Ulceration, and local debility, aris-
ing from the scroful.,us diathesis, have yielded to it, and 
there are few that do not, when its effect is properly 
aided by local treatment."

THE RIGHTS OF MEMBERS. 
Every Society either does or should de 
fine the rights of its members. So we 
will tell the members of the American 
Do Society what their rights are. 1st,- 
To hold such offices as they are appointed 
to fill. 2d--To vote at all meetings of the 
Society. 3d-To collect all the money 
they can for the society, and get as many 
new members as possible. 
We shall appoint a batch of new offi- 
cers at our next meeting, on Wednesday, 
the 6th of May. Look out for them. We 
are all the time expecting to hear from our 
little ones." Some have promised to 
write us, and we expect others will write 
without promising. Don't disappoint us, 
for we dislike disappointment very much. 
P. S.-There is one right of member-
ship we had like to have forgotten-what 
do you think it is ? To be always pleas-
ant, kind, obliging and obedient to parents. 
Always to be polite to every body, at home 
or abroad. And above all, to read the 
bible and say your prayers every night 
and morning, without tail. Don't forget. 
Annie And The Autumn Leaf. 
It did not seem- like an October day to 
Annie ; the air was so very mild, and the 
little girl tried hard to imagine that spring, 
the season she loved best, had returned ; 
but one glance at the crimson leaves above 
her, and another upon the withered ones 
at her feet, drove all dreams of spring-
time far away. 
On, over the cracklingleaves, Annie wan-
dered, wishing that both fall and winter 
would never conic; till at last, weary of 
roaming, she threw herself upon a bank 
beneath an oak tree, and watched the red 
leaves wafted down on the wind. For a 
long time the child watched them, and had 
unconsciously said half aloud, 'How sad 
to change from the green leaves of the 
spring to these withered ones upon the 
ground,' when suddenly she fancied that 
she heard a tiny voice, which seemed to 
come from a bright red leaf that waved to 
and fro on a branch overhead. 
'Little maiden,' said the autumn leaf, 
'you are mistaken, we are not sad. In the 
early spring time the life we lead is indeed 
a pleasant one, when the buttercups and 
daisies are peeping forth from the green 
grass, and the brooks, no longer ice-bound, 
ripple merrily. Though it is but little we 
can do then, yet we try to do that little well, 
and we welcome the birds as they fly to the' 
branches and encircle their nests to keep 
them more secure. as they swing to and 
fro in the trees. But when summer comes, 
then it is that our great .work commences, 
and we spread ourselves on the branches 
to refresh the weary ones who seek our 
cool shae.e, fanning their burning brows, 
so that they leave us with quicker steps 
and brighter hearts, while we rejoice to 
have done them good. Thus through the 
summer, refreshing both man and cattle by 
day and sheltering the birds in the night-
time, we pursue our mission joyfully, and 
when the autumn comes we are not sad.

VOICE OF THE PROPHETS for April will be sent out

very interesting articles, among which is a very im-

"Woe to the land shadowing with wings." Elder 
Fassett, the author of this exposition, takes the 
ground that this "land shadowing with wings" is

'Tis true that we are stiff and old now,. 
without strength to do much ; but our 
shade is no longer needed, and when think-
ing of the useful lives we led in the spring 
and summer-time, we grow bright with 
joy. Surely, these autumn hours seem 
not like shades of sadness, nor do we even 
sorrow when thinking that the wind's next 
breath may waft us to the ground ; for we portant labors.

A 
Learn from the fall leaf to do this in your brother in the West, writes in view of my 
 
tour :-" It seems to me that an effort ought to be 
life's spring-time; then you need never made by the eastern churches to assist you in mak- 
dread its autumn, for it will be even bright-
er than ours, and when death at last re-
lieves you from sight, many weak and wa-
vering little ones will be supported and 
strengthened by your good example, to 
gladden the world through all the seasons 
of their lifetime.' 
Just then-the wind, seizing the red leaf, 
wafted it to the ground, and Annie start-
ing forward to lift it was greeted by a mer-
ry laugh, and her brother's voice exclaim-
ed, 'Well, little sister, what have you been 
dreaming about 7' None of us knew what 
had become of you, and after hunting and 1 have neither left my post, or my work. And I 
shouting all through the woods, I found hope ere long to" go over with the people of God into 
you at last fast asleep.' 
 
Was it only a dream? thought Annie, 
as she looked around. At her feet lay a 
red leaf, just like the one she had been 
dreaming about, arid the little girl lifting it 
so carefully, said, 'Isn't it very bright, 
Willie ?' 
'Yes, it is quite bright,' replied the boy ; 
`but don't trouble yourself to carry that 
one home, for I can find you any quantity 
of prettier leaves close by the house.' 
Annie smiled, but did not tell the rea-
son why she held that particular leaf so 
very carefully, and on her return a little 
frame was made for it, so that it might 
hang always in sight ; for from the au-
tumn leaf Annie learned a lesson ot use-
fulness and happiness which was never 
forgotten. 
Will you riot listen to what these bright 
leaves may teach, little reader? and com-
mence your mission by serving God now, 
in this your life's spring-time, so that. if He 
spare you to see life's autumn, it may be a

DONATIONS TO A. M. A. TO DATE. 
S. C. Allen, 
d 
ing your tour through this western country. I 
think much good might be done. If I was able I 
would pay the entire expenses of such a tour. 
But this I cannot do now." There are many in the 
West that can do, and will do, to aid this mission. 
They did help me in my last tour very liberally ac-
cording to their means. But I shall need more 
than they can raise to meet the expenses of publi• 
cations and tracts, which must be scattered, with 
other necessary expenses, to keep me from perplexing 
care. I have come to the end of my available re-
sources in carrying forward the cause. But still I 
have health, good cheer, and unshaken faith, and 
large experience to put in as a contribution in aid 
of the work. All I am and have is the Lord's, 
with all I can do. And 1 wish it understood that 
that goodly mountain and Lebanon." 
" My Journal," which has been interrupted in 
its course, will now be regular, so long as the pub 
fishers shall deem it worthy of a place in their col-
umns, 
The Lord is soon coming in his kingdom, and 
therefore what we do must be done quickly. Very 
soon we shall be called to our reward in the king-
dom. Let what remains of life be filled up with 
working and waiting for the King of Kings. 
In conclusion I wish to express my unfeigned grati-
tude to all my old friends and patrons, for all past 
sympathy and help in the good work of God. 
Heaven reward them in the day of Christ.

P. S. As I shall spend the entire summer in the 
West, I wish to make a proper distribution of my 
labors in the different States. So all that wish my 
labors will invite me without delay-and I will 
then make the best arrangement to meet all the calls 
in my power. I wish to hear from any one in Chi-
cago, Ill., interested in my mission West.

The No. appended to each name is that of the HERALD to 
which the money credited pays. No. 1127 was the closing 
number of 18 2 ; No. 1153 is the Middle of the present 
volume, extending to July 1, 1863; and No 1179 is to the 
close of 1862. 
Notice of any failure to give due credit 
should be at once communicated to the Business Agent. 
Those sending money should remember that we have 
many subscribers of similar names, that there are towns of 
the same name in different States, and in some States there 
is more than one town of the same name. Therefore it is 
necessary to give his own name in full, and his Post-office 
address - the name of the town and state, and if out of 
New England, the county to which his paper is directed.

A Naughty Think. 
"Mamma," said Kitty, "papa calls me 
a good little girl, and amity does, and most 
everybody ; but I am not, mamma, good 
at all." 
"I am very sorry," said mamma. 
"So am I," said Kitty; "but I have got 
a very naughty think." 
"Naughty what ?" asked mamma. 
"My think is natrglity inside me," said 
Kitty. "When t was dressed to go to ride 
yesterday, and the carriage came, and 
there was no room for me, I went into the 
house arid aunty told you I behaved very Square, C. W. My mission will be to preach the

"Somebody did know it," said Kitty. 
"Who ?" asked John. 
"God," answered Kitty. "He cannot

Mamma, how can I be good inside 1" 
Kitty is not alone in asking that ques-
tion. Many and many a one is asking it, 
very sorrowfully. How can I be good in-
side? King David felt like Kitty, and he 
fell on his knees and prayed this little 
prayer : "Cleanse thou me from secret 
faults." Secret faults are in some sense 
the worst kind of faults, because, first, 
they deceive others, for they are inside, and 
nobody sees them ; and then they deceive 
ourselves, for we are apt to think nobody 
will find them out, and if they are not 
found out it is no matter.-Kitty King.
