"I, HAVE NO FATHER I" OR THE LITTLE
4PAIHAN -BOY.
BY "lifitrarliß. "
"Popr child, no fathe Are you sure?" said
I to the weeping boy by ail side, who shivered
with tliiiiintense cold. His little lips trembled
at my inquiry, and drawing his ragged cloak
closer to his cold form, he replied : "Yes, ma'am,
I am quite sure, for don't I remember the dread
ful time I"
The tears fell fast and thick upon the brown
face of my little protege, as he incoherently told
the tale of his sorrowful life.
I would that I could tell you, dear reader,
the same tale, with the same blue lips, the same
ragged cloak, and with the same warm, ardent
heart—for then I should be assured of your at
tention. Little Donut was born in Italy—that
country where the sun seems never tired of
shining ... the spot where birds --heavenly song
sters I—love to warble forth sweet strains. I
call them heavenly, for they, with their beauti
ful notes, always remind me of a heaven above,
and assure me of a place of rest. No wonder
then that Donui caught some of their inspira
tion, and longed to chant, in a nobler but hum
bler strain, of heaven to those around him.
But to my story, or rather to that of the
wandering boy. ,
Donui Lasciata's parents travelled from morn
ing until night the streets of Italy, singing their
strange ballads, which were so full of melody.
This wandering life soon became wearisome
to little Donut's father; but, of music he never
could tire. Mr. Lasciata soon` sickened and
died. At his request Donui,—then ten years
old—started, in company with his mother, for
America, in hopes 9f adding a little more to the
stock of money they had earned. The foreign
ers did not find America as promising as their
imagination badspictured. Their sweet strains
were coolly passed by the unappreciative inhabi
tants of city. Their funds were nearly
exhausted, and the couple would have been in
a state of complete starvation, had it not been
for the never•faiiing energy of Mrs. Lasciata's
8011..
Donut learned to make matches in the'eve
ning, and during the day be sold them. It was
when Donut was crying, with his sweet voice,
"Matches!" along B— Avenue, that I•ac
costed him. I asked him his name, and in a
manner peculiarly interesting, he replied,—
"Donui Lasciata, my father's name, ma'am;
but I have no father now I" said the boy,
pausing to choke back the . rising tears. Need
I tell you, my little friends, with what feelings
of interest Iquestioned little Donui I
"Oh, ma'am !" continued he, sitting down
upon the steps of the bank, "my dear father
was a good man, a true Christian. He would
have grieved to seen his Donut selling matches
to support his mother. But, 0 met I ha've•no
father I"
Something so extremely mournful, so full of
sadness, characterized his tones when lie com
pleted his brief sentences with, "i have no fa
ther!" Taking him by the hand, I led him to
my own home, and procuring an old cloak, I
fastened it firmly around his trembling form,
and filled a basket with provisions.
"Now, Donal, when you have warmed your
self, I want you to show me where you live,—
will you ?"
"Oh, yes, ma'am I Do you really mean to
go with me? I am ready now, fOr I am not
much cold." And the little boy, seized with one
hand the basket, and with the other, my hand.
And, looking up to my face, with his lustrous,
black eye, he expressed more gratitude than
words could have conveyed.
"I think you most love
,my mother's God,"
said the little fellow, as we turned the corner
to pass up Market Lane.
"Why do you think so, Donal?" I inquired.
"For you are so good, just like my mother,
and she loves God. Father used to tell me of
Him when he came home at night. But I have
no father now I" replied Donui.
"Are you sure ?" said I; "think again, my
boy."
"I have a'father in heaven; for when be died
be said he was going there. Is it that you
mean ?"
‘"No, not that exactly. I referred to your
heavenly Father. Did you forget, Donal, that
he was a Father to us all?"
.'Ah, I understand now I" said the boy. "No,
ma'am, I did:not forget. My mother often told
me of God;,:: Atiwi says, if I will only.try to
keep my 4, and holy, I shall see Him
when r,e4W
"XesKobniti, on surely will, if you truly try.
But can On tell me of a promise similar to the
one given by your mother, which is contained in
God's holy book ?"
"Yes, ma'am, I think I can,"riplied the boy,
quickly; "'Blessed are , the pure in heart, for
they shall see God.' My father taught me that
and many other Scripture verses. But here we
are 1" exclaimed Donni, who immediately raised
himself upon tip-toe to unfasten the door of the
tottering tenement. Years and years must have
passed away since this miserable hut bad seen
the carpenter's last utensil: The rain and sun
bad changed the boards from their original co
lor to that of a dark-brown.
As soon as we had entered, a sweet but feeble
voice exclaimed, "Is that you, Douai ? Ohl I
am so glad, 'for I am lonely."
I stepped across the room to speak to the
little Italian boy's mother. Her black eyes
were full of tenderness, bat an expression indi
cative of disappointment passed over her face
when she saw me.
"Why 1 where is my boy ?" was her eager in-
quiry.
I told her I had sent him to the neighboring
wood-yard, for I had discovered she needed
fuel.' I sat and talked with her some time.
She informed me of the sad particulars of her
life. Presently we heard Donni lifting the
latch.
"Oh, mother I" exclaimed the boy, kissing
her very affectionately, "we are to have some
wood! How kind Miss M— is, to give ns
the money 1, A,nd look here, mother l" continued
Donut, jumping up and down, ':,see what nice
food she has given as I"
Mrs. Lasciata thanked me over and over
again. I did not deserve such tokens of grati
tads as she offered me. After promising again
to come and see- her, I left them enjoying the
supper and fire, bud slowly walked towards my
own home, where I knew a bright fire was in
readiness, and what• was more, I knew that kind
parents were presiding over that fireside.
The next Sabbath I walked towards Donni's
dwelling. In my hand I had a bundle of clothes,
which I had collected together during the past
week. At my request the little boy took these
and prepared himself for Sabbath School. I
led him to St. Church, and placed him by
the side of five other boys, all of whom were
members of my class. I found Donui very at
tentive, and the instruction he received seemed
to sink deep into his heart. Upon every Sab
bath I could see his smiling face. He would
look up to me with his large black eyes, eager
to catch the words that fell from my feeble lips.
He soon became a favorite with all the pupils.
The superintendent was very much interested in.
the little fellow. And by his efforts, Donui
was• placed at school, where he made such ra
pid improvement, that he was soon an inmate
of the high school. He was a thorough student.
He spent his evenings copying, and thus earned
a few shillings; with this little money he pro
cured a more comfortable room for his mother.
Mrs. Lasciata had every reason to be Wad of
her son. She sought to alleviate his trifling
wants and cares by obtaining sewing, which af
forded her a fair compensation. Thus they
were enabled to - live comfortably for years.
We - will pass over, dear reader, twelve years
of Donut's life, during which time he completed
his education. We now find him in the small
village of Windsor. I made him a short visit
a few weeks ago, and found him sowing the
good seed among his parishioners. On he plod
ded, never for once appearing to be weary of
his labor. He has been instrumental in bring
ing many souls to his Saviour. And I trust he
will bring many more to the arms of Him who
said: "Come unto me all ye that lebor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

LETTER FROM /WIN MINOR BOTTS,
PROTESTING AGAINST SEGESSP3N
Richmond, Nov. 27, 1860.
My Dear Sir :—I do not concur with you in
opinion that the dissolution of the Union is inevi
table. The sky looks threatening, I grant you, but
so it has done before, and yet the clearest sun :
shine has succeeded, without a shower of rain or
peal of thunder ;so I trust it will be again. But
if it should be otherwise,• and the government of
the United States is to be overthrown, no part of
the/0/7.y, the wickedness, or the crime shall- be
charged upon me, either by the wise and• good
men of the present age, or of generations yet to
come.
True, South Carolina has rushed on with a head
long impetuosity, wholly unsuited to the gravity
of the occasion, as if she were afraid to trust her
self With time for calm deliberation, relying more
upon the passion than the wisdom of her people;
and it may be that, under a ridiculous and false
idea of a becoming pride and true greatness, she
may involve herself in a very' serious difficulty;
she may even declare herself out of the Union;
she did so by ordinance in convention in 1833;
but still the union was not rent asunder, nor will
it now be, as I think; no other State is likely to
go with her, and what is best, and surest of all,
Virginia, certainly will not, in her present state
of mind.
If I could see the least semblance of justifica
tion in the attitude South Carolina has assumed, I
would sympathize with her; but I cannot for
reasons already given in my speech, which you say
you have just read. I see nothing in that position
but plain,bold,dariinjiat-footed rebellion against
and treason to the rest of the States ; and I cannot,
under any contingency, be induced to take sides
'with her in her disloyatt; and treachery. -
South Carolina, spurning the counsels and co
operation of Virginia and other Southern States,
has of her own accord, and upon her own hook,
chosen to raise a mighty and a fearful issue, with
the general government, and upon the general go
vernment rests the responsibility of settling the
question. Hands off, and fair play to both,
say I. In its present stage we have nothing
to do with it : and, so far as I am concerned, I
turn her over to "Uncle Sam,"
and if she can
maintain her position against that respectable and
powerful old gentleman ; let her have all the
honor and glory and benefit of the achievement to
herself. I hope she may have a good and merry
time of it. She will be - a State of the Union, in
a state of rebellion; and I have not a shadow of a
doubt either of the right or the power to control
her. The only question would be, Is it worth
whileY_ Would it not be better to let her go out,
and stay out until she bad made the experiment,
and, like the prodigal son, return to her home to
eat up the fatted calf?
But that unfortunately would lead to another
perplexing difficulty, which is, that it would
innpunt to an acknowledgment hat we have no
government, and never bad one; that our
fathers were a set of old fools and fogies who
thought they were making for their posterity a
government that would endure forever, whilst it
was nothing more than a mere voluntary associa
tion of States, to be tolerated only so long as it
was entirely convenient and agreeable to all parties
to remain in it, but that the moment it became
irksome to any one State, it might be broken up
as readily as an ordinary party at whist, whenever
one of the partners happened to tire or grow
drowsy; and it requires but little reflection to
satisfy any reasonable man that if the doctrine or
the right of secession is once recognised by the
government, all its powers cease at once, even
although the doctrine may not be carried into ef
fect. The government is now supported by loans
.and treasury notes, and has been, with the excep
tion of short intervals, for the last twenty-five years.
What credit would the government be entitled to,
and what could it obtain either at home or abroad,
if it were understood that any one State might at
any moment b e reak up the government, and thus
cancel the debt, as South Carolina now proposes
to cancel hers? ,
When should we be safe in declaring war for
the defence of our honor, or our rights,
or for the
protection of our people, if, in the midst of the
war, the Union could be dissolved, and the go
vernment destroyed, whenever some one of the
States might be disappointed in the election of her,
favourite candidate for the Presidency, or because
her interest would be promoted by doing so, or
because it would enhance the price of cotton to
open a direct trade with the enemy? What go
vernment on earth would thereafter treat with us,
as one of the nations of the world? or treat us
with respect?
I do not wish to be disrespectful to anybody—:'
and most surely not to you, but I hope you will
pardon me for saying that one of the inconceiva
ble and irreconcilable things of this world, to
my miud, is that an idea of such unmixed,
unmitigated nonsense and absurdity as that of the
right of a State to secede at pleasure, should ever
have obtained a place in the mind of any man who
was not an absolute lunatic. Men's minds are
differently organized, I know and we see things,
through different optics, and I dare say you and
others look upon me in the same light as I look
upon you and upon them. Well, be it so; honors
are easy, and we break oven.
It has become quite a favourite and fashionable
mode of expression to say, " this is not a govern
ment of force; the government was not made by
force, and cannot be kept together by force."
It is very true that the government was not
made by force, and it is for that very reason that
there is no right to break it up, and that it can
be kept together by force. Whether that is a de
sirable mode of doing it is altogether a different
question. If it had been fornzed by force—if some
tyrannical despot had forced a government upon
the people, which had never obtained their appro
val or assent—then any of the parties would be
justified in thrdwing it off whenever they could get
rid of it. But it is precisely because it was not
made by force, but that, on the other hand, it was
a free and voluntary compact ) entered into one
Amtrican Nuo,bretriatt and
with another and each one with all the rest, that
there is a power to enforce the compact.
Debts are not and cannot be created by force;
but it' voluntarily entered into, the payment of the
obligation may be enforced by the strong arm of
the law; and the compact between the States,
having been voluntarily entered into, may in like
manner be enforced, if necessary, by the strong
arm of the government—and it is no government
at all if it is not of sufficient force to protect it
self against treason and rebellion on the part of its
own citizens. If it is not a government of force why.
was Congress clothed with the power " to provide
for calling forth the militia, to execute the laws of
the Unioncsuppress insurrpetion, and repel inva
sions," whether they come from within or without?
Pshaw! that's all fall-lal, to tickle the, ears of
groundlings. It was a government of ferce, and
very efficient force, in 1833, when the force bill
passed a democratic Congress in the House by a
vote of 149 to 48, and in the Senate by 32 to 1.
When and how' has the Constitution been
changed since that time, or is it only because
statesmen have grown more wise of late? Estab
lish this doctrine of secession, and it is at once
settled that there is an absolute impossibility of
ever forming a fixed, permanent and stable govern
ment out of or more States; for, if our Consti
tution does not make this a permanent govern
ment as designed by its founders, then language
cannot be employed that would make it so, and
our institutions'are no better than those of Mexico.
But if a new confederacy were to be formed, I
could not go with you, forskshould use whatever
influence I might be able to exert against entering
into one with Southarolina, - that has played the
part of a common brawler and disturber of the public
peace for the last thirty years, and who could give
no security that I would be willing to accept that
she would not be as faithless to the next compact as
she has been to this which she is now endeavour
ing to avoid. In addition to which, the objects and
interests of South Carolina, as she conceives them,
are essentially at variance with those of Virginia;
this state will never sanction piracy, and if not,
South Carolina does not desire our company, and
would get rid of us as soon as possible.
What may be the ultimate condition of things
I do not pretend to be prophetic enough to foretell,
but I do not think there is any likelihood that
any other State will go out, as South Carolina pro
poses to do, in a sort of sky-rocket blaze ; the rest
will be disposed to consider matters more carefully,
and will take time for consideration and reflection,
during which much may, and I think_will be, done
to reconcile existing differences.
The northern party has succeeded to power; they
are deeply interested, in a political sense, in keep
ing the Union together; and can well afford to do.
all that we have a right to demand, under the Con
stitution; and if they do not, we may be able to
accomplish all that is essential through the action
of Congress. •
Now, as you say to me '
"sit down side by side,
with me," and let us talk this matter over. Sup
pose the north should agree to repeal their ob
noxious legislation, which has for its object the ob
struction to the execution of the Fugitive Slave
law, (which they ought not to hesitate to do, even
if no Union were at stake,) and if not, suppose
Congress should so modify, that law as to relieve
it of 'that obnoxious feature to which I referred in
my Lynchburg speech, and thereby add to, rather
than impair its efficiency, and accompany •that
le g islation with a bill declaring it to be a felony of
the highest grade, and eubject to heavy penalties
by fine and imprisonment to rescue, or attend t,
to rescue, a slave in custody of the officers.,' or
after he bad been restored to his master, and
making the general government responsible for
the value of the slays tat may be rescued arid
holding it as a charge against the State that
shall permit the law to be thus violated with
in its territory; then suppose, in reference to the
territories,., there 'should be wisdom and patriot
ism enough iaboth sections of the country to re
store mdttLit tO the condition they occupied prior
lirre-establishing the Missouri Compro
t!rige IiP,C4 don't you think, my good friend, you
'CAA tlien be persualW s tjusreAajat the Southern
States, except Soar'.CaiiilTira : 7s7/Id agree, even
without the restoration of the Missouri line, to re
main a little longer in the Union? althougllCouth
Carolina might have assumed that she was too
good, and high-toned and chivalric to remain
where Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland,
North Carolina and Missouri would be proud to
stay ? And if South Carolina should be deaf to
all remonstrance, and insist that she -would .stay
out, after that, don't you think she ought to be left
to share the fate she had so unnecessarily courted
and provoked ?
All this I have strong hope may be accomplished,
if reasonable time is allowed, a suitable spirit is
adopted, and a proper course is pursued; but I do
not think it can be done by the system of bullying
and bravado that many of our leading men have a
decided passion for. The north and south are
equally brave, and a brave people, like a brave
man, will always despise and defy a bully, and
there has been too much of that game played on
both
I believe in the patriotism of reflecting men of
all parties and of both sections, and I am confident
in the belief that each will, in the spirit that ani
mated our fathers, for the sake of the Union, sof
render'much that has been claimed on both sides,
before they pull down this great temple of liberty
on their own heads.
I will not ftup to inquire which section would
suffer most from a rupture of the Union, because I
do not calculate its value by dollars and cents; it is
enough for me to know that both would sustain a
calamity that neither time nor labor nor money
could repair. But to accomplish anything, reason
and persuasion must take the place of threats, and
taunts, and crimination and recrimination. How
all this is to' be brought about is another question,
which I leave to those who are in power to bring
about; but I have an.abiding trust and confidence
in the same Good Spirit that has directed us
through every trying difficulty that the may will be
prepared to save the great, glorious, thrice-blessed,
and godlike work of our fathers to us, and to our
children, and to our children's children.
One thing, my friend, you may be assured of,
that when the necessity shall arise. for Virginia to
take up arms against the government of the United
States, she will require no other State to set her
an example of what it becomes her honor to do,—
but she will neither be " hitched on" nor" dragged
into" any rebellious or treasonable movement by
the most spoiled child of the whole family. Vir
ginia made the Union; it is chiefly the work of the
bands of her Children, and-she will adhere to, abide
in, protect and preserve it, until some stronger
reasons than now exist for its dPstrnetion . . . -
Nobody purposes to fire our dwellings, or steal
our substabee away from us; there is plenty of
time before us—let us then be patient, be wise, be
moderate; give time for the passion§ excited by
the late election and the scenes, that now surround
us to calm down. Let us ant like men, and not
like children, and above all, let us take to ascertain
facts, and not be led away from the path of duty
and honor,. by, the tan thousand misrepresenta
tions that are scattered broadcast over the country
for the , purpose of inflaming popular passion.
It takes a great while to build up a government,
and it will require a vast deal of labor, reflection,
foresight,"knowledge, wisdom, and experience to
form one that will grove a satisfactory substitute
for this •one which you propose to discard. . . -
I am respectfully your obedient servant and
friend. J. M. BOTTS,
To Q. B. M., Esq., of Staunton, Va.
The pertinacity with which a lie sometimes
clings to life is astounding. Theodore Parker,
who was a man of large and various learning, once
told, a visitor that it was the common opinion of
orthodox Christians that hell was peopled with in
fants. a span long, and he seemed very much sur
prised to be told that he was totally mistaken.
Very recently, Sir John Bowring, a man of the
most extraordinary attainments in general know
ledge, quoted the same ,expression as one of the
sayings of Jonathan Edwards, and when contra
dicted, and challenged to refer to the precise place
in EdWards, reiterated his assertion; saying that
he could not recall the exact passage. Our readers
need not.be informed that no body of believers ever
held 'Such a tenet. -

SEWING MACHINES.
TIM SINGER SEWING MACHINES.
The marked, and ever extending, popularity of
SINGER'S SEWING -MACHINES, both in America
and Europe, is such as best to'eptablish their superiority
over all others in the market. Sewing machines (so
called) may be bought, it is true, for a smaller amount
of dollars, but it is mistaken economy to invest anything
in a worthless or unreliable article, and those who do
so must abide the consequence! •

AWONDERFUL CURE OF ASTHMA ASTHMA
BY JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT. This unrivalled
remedy for Pulmonary Diseases is equally successful in
all countries and climates in subduing diseases.
The Rev. Eugenia Kincaid, a Missionary in Burmah,
writes:— •
RAtmootr, March 29, 1853.
It is rare that we use any medicine except your pre
parations. About` three months since, a Burman female
of rand, who called on us, as we learned from her hus
band, bad suffered for EIGHTY YEARS with ASTHMA, and,
often, for weeks together, had been- unable to sleep,
except in a sitting posture.
It was painful to look upon , her emaciated frame and
distressed countenance. Feeling quite satisfied that
no medicine could restore her to , health, we O. e., Dr.
Dawson and Mr. Kincaid) thought only of affording
some temporary relief, and .gave her about one-third of
a bottle of your EXPECTORANT. One week after, her
husband came for more, and informed us that, for the
first time in eight years she had slept sweetly. In one
month and a half she was entirely restored, and has
increased nearly one-fifth in weight.
Our sister, you recollect, took your ALTERATIVE for a
long standing Swelling on her neck. It has perfectly
cured her. Yours, Sec.,

HAVE YOU ASTHMA OR PHTHISIS? Then use
JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT, which will overcome the
spasmadic contraction of the wind tubes, and cause
them to eject the mucus or matter which clogs them
up, and by an easy and free expectoration, remove all
difficulty of , breathing.
HAVE YOU WHOOPING COUGH? Then use
JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT—the best remedy in the
world, as it shortens the disease more than one-half,
and carries the patient safely through it.
HAVE YOU CROUP, OR HIVES? Then use -
JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT freely, aceording,Ao di

Have you BRONCHITIS. CONSUMPTION, CHRO

eases which cannotbe equalled, as the evidence of thou

BLEEDING OF THE LUNGS.
AIM ST ILLEEi VA., Tan. Ist, 18 58 .
DR. D. JAYNE—Dear Sir; In the year 1840, I was in
very bad health, which I attributed to teaching school
in the previous year. I was attacked with HEMOR
RHAGE (BLEEDING OF THE LUNGS,) but. after using one
bottle of your Exracroasnr, I was relieved, and have
nol had an attack since. I have also given the same
medicine to children for the witoortso Coosa . , and have
always found it to be of great advantage in mitigating
the disease, and finally effecting a cure.
From W. W. Winters, M. D., Milledgeville, 111.
,Da. D. JAYNE & Son—Gentlenien: It is with great
pleasure that I can recommend your . EXPECTORANT to
those suffering with Bronchial affections. Also, your
ALTERATIVE, for eruptions or any disease arising from
an inactive or disordered fiver, having used these reme
dies for the above mentioned diseases with satisfactory
results. Very respectfully yours,
W. W. WINTERS, M. D.

of death, and three eminent physicians having ex
habsted their skill upon him. Several cases of Dropsy
and Cancer have been cured in my neighborhood.
My little daughter was taken last November with an
Enlargement on her neck, which grew very fast I
immediately commenced giving her your Alterative,
and she is now nearly well. Gratitude toward you, and
a desire to benefit the public, have induced me to write
this, and although I am a stranger to you, you are more
than welcome to publishthis if you wish.

[Extract of a•letter from the Rer. A. Wiberg, dated
Stockholm, Sweden, March 10, 1857.]
" Your invaluable medicine, the Expectorant, has
been of very essential service to my throat and breast,
and .I can scarcely do without it a single day. Several
ot„our friends, to whom we have occasionally given
some, express themselves as being much benefited."
ASTHMA, SPITTING OF BLOOD, &c.
STOCKTON, Owen Co., lnd,; Sept. 4,1557.
Da. JAYNE: My wife has been-severely afflicted some
years with BRONCHITIS, and having heard of the won
derful efficacy of your EXPECTORANT for COVGIIS, ASTHMA,
DIFFICULTY OF BREATHING, SPITTING OF BLOOD, and other
diseases of the lungs, I purchased one bottle of it, and
one box of SANATIVE rxm.s, and am happy to inform you
that,-after using the Expectorant, her cough was imme
diately suppressed, removed the difficulty of breathing
and pain, produced a free and easy expectoration, and
in one month effected a complete cure.

Dr. D. JAYNE: I certify that during harvest, in July
last, I wa's taken with the BRONCHITIS, and spit , up quite
a quantity of blood. I had also a severe cough. I Brst
took one bottle of tile ALTERATIVE, and then three hot

Expectorant to be an inestimable medicine.
COLDS, COUGH'S, AND PAINS IN THE SIDE AND
Dan Sra: In the Fall of 1898, I was attacked with a
most violent racking in my left side, immediately under
my heart, giving me the 'most excruciating agony, and
at times rendering me entirely Speechless. I tried for
nearly a year all the remedies which were recommended
for my'disease, under the most skilful physicians, but
unfortunately without success. I was at last about to
give up in despair, when a kind friend thought of your
EXPEMRANT. I procured a bottle of it, and before I had
entirely used the whole of it, I felt manifest
.symptoms
of a change for the better. I continued on usingit, and
by the time had taken five bottles, I found myself
completely cured by means of your invaluable medicine

Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church,

Tom; HARRIMAN, Esq., Stewartstown ' N. 11., writes:—
"Not long since, a child of mine had a very violent
and distressing attack of Croup, which must have proved
fatal had not immediate relief been obtaided. I com
menced giving you: EXPECTORANT, and within three
quarters of- an hour, -the child, having taken six tea
spoonfuls, breathed with perfect ease, a cure within that
time having been effected."
The Rev. JAMES W. , DAffiEL, Blackwater, Morgan Co.,
Ky., writes:—
.‘I have used your EXPECTORANT/ and emiarrimrivr.
BALSAM in my family with the most happy effect. I rode
eight miles to-day for some of your mirwronarrr, to
give one of my-children threatened with Croup." •

Da. D. JAYNE & Suss—Dear Sirs: Another singular case
or the remarkable effects of your medicine. I have been
afflicted with a very SEVERE couca, and racked with the
CRAVES., and this, too, for a number of years. I pro
cured one bottle of your EXPECTORANT, and two boxes

DR. D. Itvar.—Dear Sir: It affords me a. great plea
sure to add my feeble testimony in favor of your invalu
able medicines. Some eight years ago, IL had a very
severe attack of Acute Bronchitis, and I was considered
by inteligent physicians a confirmed consumptive. By
the very free use of your exrecrottarrr I recovered. In
using it, I surpassed the directions, as I took it in nau
seating doses for several weeks. Since that time I have
made great use of it, and of your ALTERATIVE AND CAE
NINATIVE BALSAM, in my family, and prescribed it to
others with the very best results.

MESSRS. FARREL, HEARING at Co.,
629 Chestnut Street.
Grirmuurni—We have recovered the Herring's
Patent Champion Safe, of your make, which we bought
from you nearly five years ago, from the ruins of our
building, No. 716 Chestnut street, which was entirely
-learoyed by fire on the morning of the 17th inst.
So rapid was the,, progress of the flames, before we
could reach the store, the whole interlbi was one mass
of fire. The Safe being in the back part of the store,
and surrounded by the most combustible materials, was
exposed to great heat. It fell with the walls of that
part of the building into the cellar, and remained im
bedded in the ruins for more than thirty hours.
The Safe was opened this morning in the presence of
a number of gentlemen, and the contents, comprising
our books, bills, receivable money, and a large amount
of valuable papers, are all safe; not a thing, was touched
by fire.
Respectfully, yours,
THEO. H. PETERS & CO.
The above Safe can be seen at our store, where the
public are invited to call and examine it.
