McLANE'S Celebrated American WORM SPECIFIC a OR VERMIFUGE. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS. THE countenance is pale and lead en-colored, with occasional flushes, or a circumscribed spot on one or both cheeks; the eyes become dull; the pupils dilate ; an azure semicircle runs along the lower eye-lid ; the nose is irritated, swells, and sometimes bleeds ; a swelling of the upper lip ; occasional headache, with humming or throbbing of the ears ; an unusual secretion of saliva slimy or furred tongue ; breath very foul, particularly in the morning ; appetite variable, sometimes voracious, with a gnawing sensation of the stomach, at others, entirely gone ; fleeting pains in the stomach ; occasional nausea and vom iting ; violent pains throughout the abdomen ; bowels irregular, at times costive ; stools slimy, not unfrequent ly tinged with blood ; belly swollen and hard ; urine turbid ; respiration occasionally difficult, and accompa nied by hiccough; cough sometimes dry and convulsive ; uneasy and dis turbed sleep, with grinding of the teeth ; temper variable, but generally irritable, &c. Whenever the above symptoms are found to exist, DR. C. McLANE'S VERMIFUGE will certainly effect a cure. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN MERCURY in any form ; it is an innocent prepa ration, not capable of doing the slightest injury to the most tender infant. The genuine Dr. McLane's Ver mifuge bears the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros, on the wrapper. :0: DR. C. McLANE'S LIVER PILLS are not recotnmended as a remedy "for all the ills t lat flesh is heir to," but in affections of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints, Dyspepsia and Sick Head ache, or diseases of that character, they stand without a rival. AGUE AND FEVER. No better cathartic can be used prepar atory to, or after taking Quinine. As a sirrr1? purgative they are un equaled. EHJL ' " 3F IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Each box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane's Liver Pills. Each wrapper bears the signatures of C. McLane and Fleming Bros. Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name McLane, spelled differently but same pronunciation. A stout backbone is as essential' to physical health as to political consistency. For weakness of the back and disorders of the liver and kid neys, the tonic and moderate dietetic action of the Bitters is the one thing needful ' Semember that the stomach is the mainstay of every other organ, and that by Invigorating the digestion with this preparation, the spinal eolumn and all Its depen dencles are strengthened.

He was'old and popr, and a stt anger In the great metropolis, As he bent his step thitherward To a stately edifice. . -Outside he inquires, "What church Is this?" "Chmch of Christ," he hears them -y : "Ah! Just the place I am looking for; I trust He is here to-day." He passed tr-ough the spacious col-nned dcor And up the carpeted aisle, And as he passed, on many a face He saw sr -prise and smile. From pew to pew, up one entire side, Then across the broad front space; From pew to pew down the other side He walked with the same slow pace. Not a friendly voice had bid him sit To listen to gospel truth; Not a sign of deference bad been paid To the aged one by youth. No door was opened by generous hand, The pews were paid for rented. And he was a stranger, old and poor, Not a heart to him relented. As he paused a moment outside to think, Then again passed into the street. Up to his shoulder he lifted a stone That lay In the dust at his feet. And bore it up the broad grand aisle In front of the ranks of pews; Choosing a place to see ana hear, He made a seat for his use. Calmly sitting upon the huge stone, Folding his hands on his knees, Slowly reviewing the worshippers, A great confusion he sees: Many a eheek is crimsoned with shame. Some whisper together sore, And wish they had been, more courteous To the stranger, old and poor. 1 As if by ma tie some fifty doors Open instantaneously, And as many seats, and books, and hands, Are proff ared hastily. Changing his stone for a crimson pew, And wiping a tear away, He thinks It was a mistake, after all, And that Christ came lat;th. t day. The preacher's discourse was eloquent, The organ In finest tone, But the most Impresslre sermon heard Was preached by an humble stone. Twas ajesson of lowliness and worth That lodged In many a heart, And the church preserves that sacred stone, That the U Jth may not depart. - OltKF.lt V VI IO.

Emerson's directorv of the city of Tfaleicrh ia inst, nr.t. and the Observer says it gives the total population inside the nit.v limits at 10.818. Of this num- 5,771 are whites, 5,047 colored.

Wilson, Dec.3.-Conference convened this morning in the Methodist church at 9 o'clock, Bishop William M. Wightman in the chair, who opened the conference with the hymn commencing: "I love Thy kingdom, Lord, The house of Thloe abode," and after reading the Scriptures led the conference with prayer. Dr. Craven, the former secretary, call ed the roll, after which, on motion, he was elected secretary. Nearly all the preachers and lay dele gates were present at roll call a larger number, 1 think, than usual for the first dav. On motion, Dr. Closs was made chair man of the committee on divine wor ship. ' The bishoft addressed the conference, stating that after an absence of eleven years he was very much gratified to meet this conference on its annual con vocation, in which he said many pleas ant things. Advising the orators not to take up too much time in displaying their oratory, he closed his remarks by advising the young preachers hot 1o marry too soon. "Wait," said he, "my young brethren, if I have your ear to day, until you establish yourself. Wait until you complete your four years' course in the conference. Shut down all the gates, bar up the door of your heart against Cupid s golden darts that lie in the dimples of the beautiful, blushing and charming young ladies that you are sure to find in any circuit or station in North Carolina." Dr. Closs responded to the remarks of the bishop in a very appropriate man ner. The eighteenth question was taken up and the Revs. R. P. Bibb, J. H. Hill, C. W. King, S. P. Dozier, W. S.Haltom and B. T. Blake, all on the superanuated list, passed their annual examination of character, and were continued in the same relation. On motion, Rev. J. T. Harris and Rev W. C. Gannon were elected financial and statistical secretaries. Rev. R. O. Burton then offered a reso lution requesting the bishop to deliver a sermon on Sunday upon the lite, char acter and labors of Dr. Lovick Pierce, whose life was co-eval with the rise and progress of Methodism in America. There are twenty-five applications for admission into the conference and I am very certain all cannot get in. Every thing argues a pleasant and harmonious session. This evening is occupied with com mittee work on the various subjects connected with the Church. Re v. J . W. Guthrie is announced to preach to-night. rne conference then adjourned with the benediction by the bishop. So far as I am able to learn now the financial condition of the Church is better than for years. N. M. J. BRIEF NEWS 1 I'E.TIS.
