THE GENUINE
DR.C.McLANE'S
Celebrated American
WORM SPECIFIC
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 cafabli of doing the slightest
injury to the most tender infant.

stand without a rival.

BT BHET HABTK.
Upon Wasatch's peaks of snow
Ight holds illimitable sway
Where but a single hour ago
O'er crags and chasms, high and low.
Resplendent shone the day. -
From out the sky no star ray shines
Upon the awful solitude:
While moaning through the tossing pines.
Like some unquiet spirit's brood,
The winds sweep to and fro,
And seem In saddened mood
To breathe a wall of wo.
At first they only sighed,
But now they moan and sob;
And since the eventide
Their maddened pulses throb
In quicker, faster flow,
As their fleeting footsteps glide
O'er the cold expanse of snow.
And all the upper air
Is filled with drifting clouds,
While fiends that revel there
Are weaving shifting shrouds;
Tossing in endless whirl.
They reel In goblin mirth.
And then the shrouds they hurt
On tempest's wings to earth.
'Twas 'leven o'clock near Bridgets Gap,
In a station that swayed in the tempest's sweep,
Where a lightning jerker enjoyed his nap,
When a call from the Canon broke his sleep.
And he caught the words from tbe subtle clicks,
"Send Bluley down here with 46.rt
Soon Blaley movnted his Iron steed.
And the fires of the furnace glowed again,
As the pondrous monster devoured its feed,
And rolled from the side track on to tbe main.
Out on the night where the snow-flakes fell,
Out where the blasts of the tempests roar,
BInley shouted his friend 'farewell!"
As he opened the throttle-valve one notch more.
Then over the winding track he sped.
Where tbe pathway with chasms and craes was
lined:
The glare of h'.s great light rleamed ahead.
And the snow like a bride's veil gleamed behind.
And soon the sound of the clanking steel
Was drowned In the echos from hill to hill;
He felt the engine sway and reel,
But the throttle went one notch further stilL
A nd down the grade like a courser fleet,
PlungiHg through mountains of drifted snow,
The engine ploughs through the crusts of sleet.
And hurls a thousand feet below
Tbe ponderous masses that block its way;
Throws them far to the left and right,
Into the black, oblivious night.
To leach tbe Canons by break of day.
And now old BInley feels the thrill
That a soldier feels when he meets his foe;
He opens the throttle-valve wider still,
And his furnace burns with a fiercer glow,
As the piston flashes In faster stroke;
But firm as a roci stands the engineer.
And in his honest old heart of oak
There beats not the slightest pulse of fear.
But soon the engine is running slower,
Though its pathway lies on a level grade;
And then a tremor comes stealing o'er
Binley's hand on throttle laid.
There's a slacking up of the driving wheel,
While tbe engine struggles with human will,
Then slowly ceases the clank of steel,
And the panting monster Is standing still.
Thicker and faster tbe drifting snow
Throws around its victim its winding sheet.
And quenches the glare of the bead-light's glow,
As BInley mutters, "I give up beat" t.
Next morning a snow-plow forced Its way
To tbe spot where the burled engine lay;
They hewed a path through tne frozen crust,
And then was the ghastly story told:
There sat BInley beside his trust,
With his hand on the throttle-valve stiff and cold.

Won tbe mTule.
Raleigh Observer, 7th.
Yesterday an old country darkey
came in town astride a mule and saw a
dusky damsel in a store door. She
spoke to him, but he did not return the
compliment. She informed him that
she was the sister of one of his town
friends. Her assertion was corroborat
ed by another darkey. The Country
negro then, in the presence of a crowd
offered to bet the mule he was riding
that the woman was not the sister of
his friend, as she represented herself.
She took the bet, and the mule by the
bridle at the same time, and led the
animal .and his rider off to the shop of
her brother. - There she proved herself
to be what she claimed, the sister of -the
country darkey's city friend, 'and won
the mule. A compromise was finally
effected by the countryman giving
her a bladder of snuff and string of fish
in lieu of the mule.

son, missionary secretary, at Nashville,

committe on the missionary cause.
A letter was also read from Dr. O. P.
Fitzgerald, editor of the Nashville
Christian Advocate.
The attention of the Conference was
called to the general Sunday school in
terest by Dr. W. E. Cunygham, who
has charge of the Sunday school litera
ture of the church at Nashville. Tenn.
Dr. J. B. McFerrm, book agent, rep
resented tne puonsning house in a snort
address.

taken up and the following passed their
annual examination of character and

train, W. P. McCorkle, R. C. Beeman, P.
L. Groom, J. H. Cordon, C. M. Gentry,
George Hardison and W. B. Doub.
Bishop Wightman addressedthe class
in a very happy manner, directing his
remarks more particularly to prayer,
raith and study. A more practical talk
I never heard on any occasion.
Dr. Clark, who is agent for the Mon
umental church at Savannah, Ga., ad
dressed the conference, setting forth the
progress of this work. -

The conference opened this morning
at the usu;il hour, and religious services
were conducted by the Rev. Z. Rush.
The regular work of the annual ex
amination of character was taken up
the presiding elders first and then the
preachers under their charge. Accord
ing to report, all the presiding elders
and preachers were blameless in their
official life and character.
The class of the fourth year, compos
ed of the Revs. B. R. Hall, J. W. Ran
dall and J. M. Rhodes, each stood an
approved examination on the course of
study prescribed by the college of bish

ris, W. J. Mayo, Je Arrington, Finlay
son, Hull and Stone will be transferred

BRIEF NEWS ITEMS.
Gen. Grant has accepted an invitation
from the citizens of Milwaukee, Wi?.,
to visit that city nextllay or June.
Gen. Grant has accented the in
vitation of the world's fair committee
to preside at a public meeting to further
that movement, to be held in New York
City about December 26. The exact
date and place has not yet been deter
mined. The board of managers of the New
York Produce Exchange, at their meet
ing Friday, ordered that the central
system, so far as it relates to grain, go
into effect on December 31 of this year.
The charters of the national banks,
which were granted for twenty years,
begin to expire in 1883, one hundred
and. seventy-nine of these institutions
having been chartered before January
1, 1864. It is said that a good many
shrewd men in Congress are looking
forward with gratification to the time
when the banks will want favors at
their hands.
Some of the managers on the Demo
cratic side have already been consider
ing the question of adjournment, and
it has been agreed among them; to favor
beginning the holiday recess on Friday,
the 19th inst. Monday; the 15th, was
suggested by some, but this proposition
was defeated. The day for re-assembling
will probably be Monday, Janu
ary 5.

When a noble deed Is performed, a great battle fought, an Important assembly convened, thenceforth the place of their occurrence becomes fa
