AN OLD POEM.
"I have learned," says the melancholy Pestatozzi.
"that in this wide world no one heart is able or willing
to help another."
0 say not we through life must struggle,
Must toil and mourn alone;
That no one human heart can answer
The beatings of our own.
The stars look down from the silent heaven
Into the quiet stream,
And see themselves from its dewy depths
In fresher beauty gleam.
The sky with its pale or glowing hues,
Ever painteth the wave below;
And the sett sOnds'up its mist to form
Bright clouds and the heavenly bow.
Thus each does of the other borrow
A beauty not its own;
And tells as that no thing in Nature
Is for itself alone.
Alone, amid life's griefs and perils,
The stoutest soul may quail,
Left to itsvown unaided efforts,
The strongest arm may fail;
And the' all strength still comes from Ilearen,
All light from God above,
Yet we may sometimes be his angels,
The apostles of his love.
Then let ue learn to help end' other,
Hoping unto the end;
WhO sees to every than a brother,
Shall find in each a friend.
For the American Presbyteries.
GRANDPA'S STORY.
BY MATTA IWYTLIE."
"A story! a story! grandpa," exclaimed seve
ral children, as they gathered aroubd the aged
man, who had just entered the play-room. "A
story I Well, what shall it be about?"
" Tell us of some of the results attending war,"
replied Willie, who had just commenced to read
history with great interest.
"Oh, no I Grandpa, don't talk about war, but
tell us of the fairies—their funny capers' said
the bright-eyed Charlie.
"I cannot satisfy both of my grandsons," re
plied 'Mr. Abbott, smiling, "but we v ill settle the
difficulty by letting our Jessie say what her choice
shall be."
Jessie Abbott dropped her blue eyes, and
thought for a moment. Then suddenly raising
her head, she said, ""'Tell us a story about your
self, dear grandpa, when you were a little boy."
Jessie's brothers were well pleased at her de
cision, for they remembered that many hours in
their childhood had been spent resting upon their
grandfather's knee, listeniug to his oft repeated
tales.
"Then you will have a story of my youth?" said
Nr. Abbott, lifting Jessie upon his knee.
"I distinctly y ememb er an incident in my life,
when I was about the age of Willie. My fither
being one of the earlier settlers, was always en
gaged from morning until night in clearing his
land. Sometimes he would be near home. But
generally his destination was several miles from
the little log.oabin in which dwelt bis family."
" How many children were there in the house?"
inquired Willie Abbott.
"Four, my son, two boys and two girls. As I
MRS the eldest of the children," continued Mr.
Abbott, "I was put at work in a little patch of
ground near our home. Davy, my younger bro
ther, was accustomed to accompany me once a
week or so, while my sisters, Gracie and Mary, re
mained with their mother. Little Mary was about
as small as our Jessie at this time.
"One fine morning in April, my father set us
at work about a mile from the house. I remem
ber the little basket which was placed in Davy's
band, containing our luncheon; and, with a kiss
from our gentle mother and loving sisters, we
started off. We were obliged to pass through a
grove of dense woods, before reaching our desti
nation. The howling of wild beasts could be fre
quently heard issuing from these woods, during
the night. Yet it was considered safe to travel
the road in the day time. Taking my brother by
the band, we commenced to walk faster as we en
tered the woods. We were about half way through,
and could just see the clearing through the trees,
when a low growl startled us. Davy immediately
inquired the cause of the strange sound. I did
not answer him, but dragged him rapidly onward.
For a moment or so all was quiet, and then again
the growls would be repeated. Each time the
animal appeared to be nearer. If I was only alone,
I thought that I might be willing to meet the fate
that appeared to be our inevitable doom. But
there stood my only brother trembling in his ter
ror, and clinging to me for safety. I knew not
what to tio.
"Presently the thought struck me to place Davy
beyond the animal's reach, and boldly meet my
fate. Hastening to a large oak tree, I placed Davy
upon the lower branch, and bade him to climb to
the top. He hesitated for a moment, saying,
You must COM tool please don't leave me alone,
Willie.' As I heard the tramp of the bear, I
sternly bade Davy to do as he was bid. I can al
most see him now, as he sprang like a bird from
branch to branch. I cast my eye upward and saw
him perched upon the uppermost limb; then, I
turned from him to keep watch at the foot of the
tree. I was almost tempted to imagine that I had
been mistaken, and was in the act of calling Davy
down, when I caught a glimpse of the abaggy
bear. I resolved to remain silent, and sprang be
hind the tree in my alarm. Yet the, animal ap
proached nearer and nearer."
"Grandpa, why did yon not also climb a tree?"
inquired Charlie, full of interest.
14 Because, my son, I knew that death would
then be a sure result; for the bear would remain,
doubtless, day after day at the foot of the tree, if
we did not come down, and rather than to have
met such a fate, we would have died of starvation.
I think I took a wiser course.
"As the bear approached me," resumed Mr.
Abbott, "I stepped backwards; I cast my eye, and
saw that Davy was quite a ways from me. In try
ing to baffle my antagonist I had walked many
rods before I was aware of it. The screams of
my terrified brother made me forget my own dan.
ger, and I hastened toward him regardless of the
bear, who was prepared for a leap. All I can re
member of what next took place, was that I trip
ped over a twig that lay in the road, and a mo
ment afterwards felt the rough coat of the bear
upon my face. I had made up my mind to die,
and closing my eyes, expected every moment to be
the last. But the report of a gun startled Me and
then I lost all consciousness. As I gradually re
covered, I BON my eldest sister, Gracie, bending
ever me, while Davy naa buried me neau in his
hands, and little Mary came, bringing some oint
ment to bind up the bleeding wounds.
"Did the bear bite you, dear grandpa?" in
quired' little Jessie, tenderly.
' "No, my child, but I received several severe
Scratches."
"Jessie, darling, you should let grandpa finish
telling his story before you question him," said
'Willie, as he stooped to kiss the little one.
"Gracie wiped my face and applied the sooth
ing salve to the scratches," continued the old man,
"and as I gathered strength I raised myself and
saw my late enemy , lying upon the ground, while
the blood,still oozed from, his wounded aide.'!
" Gracie, who killed , that. bear?' I inquired.
" Never mind now j brother, but I will tell you
pretty men; replied Gracie, who was fearful. that
Wag too weak to hearken to her.
"‘ Oh, Willie I are you better?' cried Davy,
throwing himself upon the ground by my side.
"'Oh yes, I am quite well again; but ' , want to
know who lost themselves in the Woods,, and thus
saw my encounter with the bear?
" will tell you, dear Willie, if you feel able,'
replied Gracie ) wiping the perspiration from my
:scarred face. Shortly after you and Davy had
left for the woods, we finished our morning work;
mother desired me to open the door and let the
fine sunbeams into the room. We then took, our
sewing, and.were quite happy for a while, until a
bear made its apptiarance. Mother instantly
f.prang towards Mary, while I grasped father's ri
fle and shot. But not being an expert goner, I
missed my aim, and only succeedaO in wounding

led to On WOodt: MOtElei tried CO follow me, but
her strength failed her, and she was obliged to re
trace her trembling steps.
"'I arrived only in time, dear brother, to• see

the rifle I had in my hands, and at the same time
asked God to direct my aim, and he did so, dear
Willie. Are you not thankful?'
" Yes, dear Gracie, I am grateful for His kind
ness in sparing my life, and also for giving us such
a noble sister.'
"'But, Willie, I loved you so dearly,' replied
my sister, as the tears—those tokens of loving
hearts—trickled one by one from her dark eyes.
"I arose and put my arm around her, and she
led MarY, while Davy walked by my side. I
think if there were ever a group of thankful "chil

"'Yes, he did, dear brother,' I replied, begin

neck. She. then led us into the house, and shUt

to the throne of God such a prayer I It seemed as
if God was very near to us that night. I shall
never forget that mother, whose heart was so full
of gratitude to her Heavenly Father for delivering
her children from a dreadful fate." "
The nurse then entered the room, just as Mr.
Abbott had finished his narrative. Jessie would
only consent to leave, her grandfather when he
promised to tell her another tale upon the neat
day. Mr. Abbott bid the little ones good night,
and started for his own little room.
Rochester, March 20th, 1861.
TWO WAYS.
HARRIET'S WAY
"There that's just my luck! Anybody else
might wear a new dress fifty times, and no rascally
little sweeper would happen to splash his' dirty
broom against it. I gave the little villain a look
and a word that will be likely to make him more
careful how he spoils ladies' dresses. Telling me
he didn't mean to! I shbuld like to see Wm
whipped till he couldn't stand. Of course it was
an accident, bey! Oh, yes, as long as it is some
body else's best frock that's 'Tined, that's 4, very
easy thing to say. There, now, you've upset my
work-basket. Whoever's going to chase those
spools round the room? I know Tan not. All
those buttons were sorted out, and I regulated it
only this morning. If you weren't such a clumsy,
awkward thing, there'd be some comfort living in
the house with you. Let it alone—l don't require
your assistance in taking care of my Burn property.
.Pray den% trouble yourself to pick anything up;
I'm not too tired, though I have walked three
miles without resting. Not I don't want any
lunch, nothing but cold tea and dry bread, I dare
say. You sued some custard, did you? Very
good, when you very well knew that I hate the
sight of it—but I am not starving, I can wait till
dinner-time. No, thank you! I can wait on my
self, don't be so officious, and. get out of
,my way.
Now I'M going doWn stairs, and X wish you'd have
the kindness not to go with me."
SOPHIE'S WAY.
"Never mind little boy! I guess it won't hurt
my dress. much. Yes, I knew you didn't mean
to, you didn't know how near I was. Arn't your
little feet cold? There's where I live; go to the
basement, and ask them to let you warm your
sal&
""Oh, I donlmind waiting, I'm not in a hurry,
and I see you are very busy. Now are you ready
to try on my dress? No, it doesn't fit very well.
I ought to have come in before. I'm sorry, for
you will have so much trouble; I fear. You will
make it all right, I am sure, if. you don't hurry
too much. Yes, the weather is very pleasant; 'it
I'm afraid your sister feels the cold. Is there any
tbing I can do for her? I hope the doctor. will
give her something to relieve her cough. Tell her
I have a book that I think she will like; and
don't worry about my dress, it will all be right,
I'm sure."
I'm of the opinion that it was well for the poor
little dress-maker, that it was not Harriet's dress
that didn't fit; and, indeed, she told Sophie—for
they were sisters, though you might not think it
—" that so long as she would _submit to be put
upon in that ridiculous manner, she might expect
no end of imposition, and cheating too, from com
mon, low, working people." Sophie, however,
thought she had good reason to believe that love
and kindness were by far the best weapons where
with to make one's way through life.
LOVE WINS LOVE.
"Mother, the birdies all love father," said a
little boy of five summers, as be stood with his
mother, watching the robins, who were highly
enjoying their morning meal f cherries from the
old tree that overhung the house.
"Does any body else love father, Charlie?"
"0, yes ! I love him and you love him, but we
know more than the birds."
"What do you think is the reason the birdies
love your father?"
Charlie did not seem to hear this question... He
was absorbed in deep thought.
" Mother," at last he said, "all the creatures
love father. My dog is almost as glad to see him
as he is me. Pussy, you know, always comes to
him and seems to know exactly what he is saying.
Even the old cow follows him all around the mea
dow, and the other day I saw her licking his
hand, just as a dog. What can be the reason,
mother?"
"Think, Charlie—try and find out a reason
yourself."
"I think it is because father loves them J mo
,
ther. You know be will often get up to give pussy
something to eat, if she is hungry, and he pulls
carrots for the cow tneat from his hand, and pats
her and somehow I think his voice never sounds so
pleasant as when be talks to the creatures."
"I think his voice sounds pleasant when he is
talking to his little boy."
Charlie smiled. "Father loves me," he' said,
" and I love him dearly. lle loves' he birds, too,
lam sure. He whistles to them every morning
when they are eating cherries, and they arc Deka
bit afraid of him,
though he is almost near enough
to catch them. They look at him with their fun
ny little eyes, and chirp and eat away, just as if
they knew he liked to see them. I wish you could
bear him whistle to the bobolinks, as little - mammy
calls them. They come and sing on a twig, so
loud, and make such funny noises. It always
makes me laugh to hear him try to do as they do.
Mother, I wish everything loved me as they do
father."
"Do as father does, Charlie, and they will.
Love all things and be kind to them. Do not
speak roughly to the dog. Don't pull pussy's tail,
nor chase the hens, nor try to frighten the cow,
Never throw stones at the birds. Never hurt nor
tease anything. Speak gently and lovingly to
them. They know as well as you do who has a
pleasant voice. Feed them and seek their com
fort, and they will love you, and everybody that
knows you will love you too.''
DOCTRINAL PREACHING.
The Scottish peasantry of the older school, de
lighted in expositions of doctrinal subjeets, and in
fact were extremely jealous of any minister who
departed from their high standard of orthodox di
vinity, by selecting subjects which involved dis
cussions of strictly moral or practical questions.
A worthy,old clergyman having, upon the occasion
o f a communion Monday, taken a text of such a
character, was thus commented on by an ancient
dame of the congregation, who was previously-ac
quainted with his style of discourse: "If there's
an ill text in a' the'Bible, that creetur'S aye sure
to tak it."

PRESIDENT DWIGHT IN THE REV°.
The theological eminence of Mr. Dwight does
not shed greater glory on Yale College than his
patriotic conduct at this time. The time be chose
for entering the army-shows the generous spirit
that actuated him. The battle of Long-Island,
followed by the fall of New York and Fort Wash
ington, and the disastrous flight of Washington
through New Jersey, and the loss of Philadelphia,
had filled the country with the profoundest gloom.
This was not diminished by the fearful storm that
darkened the whole northern horizon. 'Burgoyne
was on his victorious march for Albany. torts
Schuyler, Edward and Ticonderoga, those keys of
the north, had fallen one after another, and the
heads of his menacing columns were almost in
striking distance of the Hudson. The nation held
its breath in suspense, for if. Clinton from the
south should form a junction with him, a Cordon
of posts would be established hetweenranada and
New York, the Eastern and middle Colonies be
hopelessly separated, and the revolution practically
crushed. It was at such a time as this, when
every eye was turned.on that veteran host which
with its splendid train of artillery was treading
down everything in its passage, that he threw his
lot in with the rebel army. Full of enthusiasm,
eloquent and hopeful, he saw beyond the cloud
that darkened the heavens and predicted a glorious
to-morrow. In his addresses to the troops he
would never allow the possibility of ultimate de
feat His full, melodious voice could no longer
ring in the halls of college, and so he transported
himself to the tented field to urge on there the
great cause in which his heart was so deeply en
gaged. He was with Putnam's army at Peeks
kill, when the news of the overthrow of Burgoyne
at Saratoe o n was received.
It is impossible at this day to imagine the effect
of this victory on the nation. It was received by
the, army at Peekskill with an enthusiasm border
ing on frenzy. Forts Clinton and Montgomery
had just fallen and the British fleet, breaking'the
boom above West Point, had ascended the Hud
son and burned Esopus, now Kingston, to the
ground. The next breeze that 'swept from the
north might bring the disastrous news of the over
throw of Gates, and the junction of the British
forces. While in this state-of excitement, each
one catching eagerly at every rumor that the tide
of the Hudson- floated southward, there suddenly
burst along the' bosom of the lordly river the tri
umphant shout of victory. Glad tears rained from
patriotic eyes, murmured thanksgivings rose from
hearts too full for utterance, while the granite
gateway of the Highlands shook to the thunder of
jubilant cannon.
The news reached camp on Saturday, and, next
day Dwight was invited to preach at head-quar
ters. Ills patriotic heart, like that of the meanest
soldier, had been thrown into eestacy at the glo
rious tidings, and it was now too full and too eager
for utterance to require any preparation. Rising
before his attentive, brilliant auditory, he took for
his text Joel ii: 20: " I will remove far offfrom
you the northern army." l'he theme and the
time were well calculated to kindle his enthusiasm
and awaken all his powers of- eloquence, and he
seemed to the excited troops like one inspired.
As he described the " northern army" in the pride
of its power moving southward, making the land
a desolation in its passage; its sudden arrest by
the untrained farmers, :who, leaving their grain
unreaped in the fields, had descended to the
greater harvest of men; the battle and the victory,
old Putnam could hardly control himself. He
smiled and winked and nodded at the happy bits
and stirring allusions, and when the services closed
was loud in his praises of.the discourse. He, how
ever, told in confidence one of the officers that
there was no such text in the Bible, that Dwight
bad made it up for the occasion. Notwithstanding,
the sermon, he said, was just as good for all that.
The officer replied that he was mistaken, there
certainly was such a text in the Bible. Putnam
strenuously insisting there was not-the officer got
a Bible and showed it to him. As the former
slowly read it over, he could hardly- believe his
eyes. At last, he exclaimed with, a sigh of relief:
"Well, there is everything in that book, and Dwight
knows just where to put his finger on it."
There is one incident connected with this victory
that is well worth recording here. 'Under its in
spiration Dwight composed his great ode, "Co
lumbia, Columbia, to glory arise." It was now
full autumn; the forest-clad Highlands had put
on their most gorgeous apparelling, as if in Byrn
patity with the universal joy, and all the glories
of an American October were- spread upon the
mountains. The dreamy atmosphere resting like
a- gentle haze upon the river, wild fowl sweeping
in clouds, far over-head seeking the sea, and the
falling leaf, all disposed the poetic rabid of Dwight
to musing, and his country being uppermost in
his heart, he sung of her . . The last verse beauti
fully describes the scenery in which- the ode was
composed, and one familiar with the cedar-clad
shores in the vicinity of Peekskill can easily
picture the young poet in his rambles when he
says:
Thus as down a lone valley with cedars o'erspread
From war's dread confusion I pensively strayed,
The gloom.from the face of fair heaven retired,
The winds ceased to murmur, the thunder expired;
Perfumes as of Eden flowed sweetly along,
And a volee.as,of angels enchantingly sung
Columbia, Columbia, to glory arise,
The queen of the world and the child of the skies."
Examiner
Written only one year after the struggle really
commenced, ,amid the gorges of the Highlands,
with Our chief cities in the hands of the British,
it exhibits a wonderful faith in the final triumph
of the Colonies, and its inspiring prophecies read
te-day like descriptions of. past eVents. He cer
tainly saw farther than most men, and the future
spread out . before him in entrancing beauty, and
grandeur.

Has my reader ever been present at the capture

if he knows what it is to spend a week or two in

lank and lithe tenant of the tropical seas: Jack

the shark's nose; they hurry to the bait, s n iff at
it, nibble at it, and then back in all haste to their
huge patron, giving his grimness due information
of the treat that awaits him. See how eagerly he
receives it, with a lateral wave of his powerful
tail he shoots ahead, and is in an instant at the
Pork. Look out there, stand by to take a turn of
the line round a belaying pin, for he's going to
bite, and he'll give us a sharp tug! Every pair
of eyes is wide open, and every mouth, too; for
the monster turns on his side, and prepares to
take in the delicate morsel. But, no; he smells
the rusty iron perhaps, or perhaps he sees the
line; at any rate he contents himself with a sniff,
and drops astern; coming forward again, however,
the next minute to sniff and sniff again. 'Tis
perilous; yet 'tis tempting.
A shout forward! The mate has struck one!
And'away rush the after band to see the sport;
the Skipper himself hauls in the line, and joins
the shouting throng. Yes; the grains, have been
well thrown, and are fast in the fleshy part of the
back. What a monster, full fifteen feet long, if
he's an inch! and how he plunges and dives, and
rolls round and tound, enraged at the pain and re
straint, till you can't discern his body for the
sheet of white foans in which it is enwrapped.
The stout line strains and creaks, but holds on;
a dozen eager hands, are pul,ling in, and at last
the unwilling victim is at the surface just beneath
the bows, but plunging with tremendous force.
Now one of the smarter hands has jumped into
the forechains with a rope made into a noose.
Many efforts he makes to get this over the tail,
without success; at length it is slipped over, in
an instant hauled taut, and the prey secure.
"Reeve the line through a block, and take a
run with it !" Up copies the vast length, tail
foremost, out of the sea; for a moment the un
gainly beast hangs, twining and bending his body,
and gnashing those;horrid fangs, till half-a-dozen
boat-hooks guide the mass to its death-bed on the
broad deck. Stand clear. If that mouth get hold
of your leg, it will cut through it, sinew, muscle,
and bone; the stoutest man on board would be
swept down if he came within the reach of that
violent tail. What reverberating blows if inflicts
on the smooth planks:
One cannot look at that face without an invo
luntary shudder. The long, flat head, and the
mouth so greatly overhung by the snout, impart
a most repulsive expression- to the countenance;
and then the teeth, those terrible serried fangs,
as keen as lancets, and yet cut into fine notches
like saws, lying row hphind row, raw behind row,
six rosys deep. See ow the front rows- start up
in erect stiffness, as the creature eyes you. You
shrink back from the terrific implement, no longer
wondering that- the stoutest limb of man should
be severed in a moment by SuctSchirurgery. But
the eyes, those borrid eyes! it is the eyes that,
make the shark's countenance what it is—the
very embodiment oV I Satanic malignity. Half
concealed beneath the bony brow, the little green
eye gleams 'With so, peculiar an expression of
hatred, such a concentration of fiendish malice—
' of quiet, calm, settled villany, -that no other
countenance that I have ever seen at all resembles.
Though I have seen many a shark, I could never
look at that eye without feeling my flesh creep,

as it were, on my nones.

in the territories. The remedy is to put the whole
right on the hazard of war, with all: chances
against them.
They expressed great apprehensions that the in
ner-state slave-trade would be, prohibited, and ex
pressly reserve the right,',ie prohibit it in their own
constitution, and threatip to exercise it.
They complained of duties on imports as inju-.
rious to them, in consuming the profits on their
staples; and they levy the same duties themselves,
and must make them still heavier if they expect
to raise money enough to meet their expenses in
that mode.
They denounced the tnion for expending its
revenue in the Notth;, and they now send their
own money North to buy war supplies.
The.pioneers in the movement denounced the
Union for prehibiting the African slave-trade, and
thus putting a stigma on the institution of slavery.
They forthwith prohibit it fore-ver in their own
constitution.
Have any charged• a single wrong upon the
Union of which they are not themselves more
guilty? Can such a self-stultified confederacy
present anything inviting;to Virginia? They keep
up a clamor about their rights, and simender all,
their rights of self-government to irresponsible,
despotic bodies, Called Conventions.

GIN SHOPS OF LONDON.
The statistics of these establishments almost ex
ceed belief. That they are the grand fountains of
misery and every ill which afflicts the community
is a. fact that is more and more felt. But. the
complicity of, the Government in the profits, as in
the anti-Christian rule of. India, is thought to be
an insurmountable barrier to their. abatement.
But it does not appear to have been considered
how large a proportion of the revenue lost would
be saved at once in the reduction of the poor rates,
and more than all, in a very short time by the
greater prosperity of the people. No nation ever
prospered by .encouraging vice for the sake, of the
taxes, which it pays. The folloWing is from a late
London letter:
" The most painful part of the business however,
is, I fear, that the Government do not want to
diminish the consumption of intoxicating drinks.
The duty on them now furnishes more than one
fourth of, tthe enormous annual expenditures of
Govcrnment, which this year , amounts to $383,-
000,000; and if intoxicating drinks were banished
from the country, or their consumption even largely
diminished, it would produce embarrassment to
the finance of the Government, and they would find
it a difficult, question how.to supply the deficiency
in the revenue, as the taxes on all other articles
are already oppressive." .
High thoughts will make high language. Some
men, of study and research are called upon to.preacb
in a strain above the common level,, even if some
do not understand them.` There are enough who
cannot rise above average mind?. A man's best
and loftiest meditations should go out of him in
the shape of sermons.

RECENT COUGHS AND COLDS, PLEURITIC
PAINS, Esc., are quickly and effectually cured by its dia

ASTHMA it always cures. It overcomes the spasmo

subdues the inflammation which extends through the

REV. RUFUS BABCOCK, D. D. Secretary of tha
Minna/or and FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY:, w.rites:—
"Having given Dr. D. Jayne's medicines a trial in my
own family, and some of them personally, I do not hesi
tate to commend them as a valuable addition to our
materia medica. The EXPECTORANT especially I con
shier of inestimable value, and I know that it is highly
esteemed, and frequently prescribed by some of the most
respectable of the regular practitioners of medicine."
REV. R. V. R. TAM ES, Missionary in Liberia of the Pres
Board of Foreign Missions, writes:—
"Your• EXPECTORANT has been administered with
the most happy results, and I feel assured I never used
an article of medicine that produced a more sure and
certain relief for the complaints for which it is recom
mended."
REV. JOHN Dowurro, D. D.,, Pastor of the Berean Bap
tist Church, N. Y., writes:—
"T have long known the virtues of your EXPECTO
RANT, and frequently tested them, on myself and family,
when afflicted with COUGHS or coans. I believe it to be
one of the best remedies ever discovered for these mala
dies."
Ray. N. M. JONES, Rector of Church of SL Bartholo
mew, (Prot. Epis.,) Philada., writes:--
"In all cases resembling Consumption; I recommend
your EXPECTORANT, having in so many cases wit
nessed its beneficial effects."
REV. J. J. WALSU, Missionary of the Fresbyterian
Board at Futtegurh, Northern India, writes:—
4 g Your EXPECTORANT was the means, under Provi
deuce, of curing a case of MC/PI - ENT consuirrnorr, which
hid been pronounced incurable by competent medical
men."
REY. JONATIIAN Corso, D. D., while President of
Granvnie College, Ohio, wrote:-;,
"While laboring under a severe Cold, Cough, and
Tloarseness, my difficulty of breathing became so great
that I felt in imminent danger of suffocation, but was
perfectly cured on using Dr. D. Jayne's EXPECTO
RANT.
Miss MARY BALL, of the Protestant Episcopal Mission,
Cape Palmas, West Africa, says :
(I In our mission families your medicines are a-general
specific, and among the sick poor they enabled me to do
much good. Your EXPECTORANT has proved of
great value in the case of Rev. Jacob Rambo, and in
that also of Rev. Mr. 'Green, two of our missionaries."
EV. C." L. FISFIEV, formerly pastor of the Dell. Pra
irie Wis. Baptist Church, writes:—
cc A little daughter of mine, aged seven years, had
been afflicted for some time with Asthma and Palpiti-
Con: of the heart, anti haying tried various remedies
without relief. was persuaded to get your EXPEC-
T ORAN T and SANATIVE PILLS, and after using,them
she was restored to a good degree of health."
REV. SAMUEL S.. DAY, Missionary of the Baptist
Board, at Neßore, India, writes
4, By the use of your EXPECTORANT my. Cough and
Sore Throat are now well. I find,•occasionally, an un
.beasant sensation in my throat, as if mucus had lodged:
ere, but your EXPECTORANT usually relieves it by two.
or three applications."

*YEWS SACRSAeARILLA,
For Purifying The Blood,
And for the;speedy cure of the subjoined varieties of Disease
Scrofula and Scrofulous Affections, such as Tumors, U.
cers, Sores Bruptions, Pimples, Pustules, Blotches,
Boils, Blaine , Sk in Diseases.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, is a constitutional disease, a corruptirn
of the blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated, weak, and p ,
Being in the circulation, it pervades the whole body, and may bur.:
out in disease on any part of it. No organ is free from its atteet,
nor is thine one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is
variously canstni by mercurial disease, low living, disordered or or.
bealtityfeutl, impure Mr, filth and filthy habits, the depressing Tier,
and, above all;by - the venereal infection. Whatever be its erten:,
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending "from parent , t.:
children unto the third and fourth generation;" indeed, it seem.
to ba the rod of liim who says,--e I will visit. the 'Mclnnes of the
fathers upon their children: ,
Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or
ulcerous matter; which, in the lungs, liver, and internal orzans,
Is termed tubercles; in the glands t swellings; and, on the surfwe,
eruptions or sores. This Soul corruption, which genders in the
blood, depresses the energies of life, sothat scrofulous constitutions
not only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but they have to less
power to withstand the attacks of other diseases; consequermy,
vast numbers perish by disorders which; although not serofelem
in their nature, are etill renderedfittal by this taint in the system.
Most of the consumption which decimates the human family, has
its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many str
struptive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, anti, indeed, of all the
organs, arise, from or are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are their persons are in
vaded by this lurking Infection, and. their health is undermined by
It. To cleanse it from the system, we must renovate the Idled ty
an alterative medicine, dud invigorate it by healthy food and extr
else. Such a medicine we supply in dyer's Compound Extract et
Sarsaparilla.
T. C. Ayer eft Ch.: Gelatin— I feel it my duty to acknowledge what
yonr Sarsaparilla has done for me. Having inherited a Smirch us
Infection, I have suffered from it in various ways for years. Sam,
times it burst out In Ulcers on my hands and arms; sometimes it
turned inward-and distressed me at the stomach. Two years age it
broke out on my head;and covered my scalp and ears with one sore,
which wee painful axidloatbsome beyond description. I tried many
reedinines and. several physicians, but without much relief from any
thing. In fact the disorder grew worse. At length I was rejolesal
to read-In the Gospel Messenger that you bad prepared an alterative
(Sarsaparida,) for I knew fr.onl your reputation that any thing you
