aumption.
The reputation it has attained, in
consequpnc? of the mnrvrnons cures it
has protluoed during the Inst half cen
tury, is a sufficient nsstirance to the
public that it will continue to realize
the hnppiest results that can be desired.
In almost every section of country
there are persons, publicly known, who
have been restored from alarming and
cren desperate diseases of the lunRS,
by its use. All who have tried it ac
knowledge its superiority ; and where
its virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to re
lieve the distress and sufferine peculiar
to pulmonary affections. Cherry Pec
toral always affords instant relief, and
performs rapid cures of the milder va
rieties of bronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases of the
lung"'.
As a stiresrurird to children, timid
the distressing diseases which beset
the Throat and Chest of Childhood, it
is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to
health.
This medicine pains friends at
every trial, as the cures it is constantly
producing are too remarkable to be
forgotten. No family should be with
out it, and those who have once used
It never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the
country prescribe it. and Clergymen
often recommend it from their knowl
edge of its effects.

been ill in bed ; no proof that he bad
not been to the woods ; indeed, there
were the marks of his crutch, and that
the watch had been hidden, not carried
off was the proof that no thief had leen
the murderer. So Dan Malone lay in
prison for awhile, and was at last uro t
to trial. The facts which the jury had
to consider were these :
"No man had seen Dan after Mr.
Hardburn left home. A pistol which
was in the house had been used to shoot
him with. Dan declared that he had
not crossed the threshold; yet tliero

in prison for manslaughter, and the race
w as bad.
The jury only brought in the verdict
all expected when the brought in that
of "Gulltyof murder in the first degree
and when asked what he could say in
his own defense, Dan only answered :
"How could anv one believe that I
could kill him?"
So Dan was condemned to le hanged
by the neck until he was dead, and all
the world said it was only what might
ie expected of Malone's boy that he
should turn and bite the hand that fed
him. Even when the dreadful day came
there was little pity felt for him. Such
a traitor, every one felt, deserved hang-
"'k-
Simon and Betty both came in for a
comfortable legacy, and the property;
w ent to a charity in case of Dan's death ; i
and Simon took his legacy and lived in a i
little house that he bought, and for a
j man of humble station was very well off.
He lived thus ten years, adding to his
means by driving people to and from the
station when he ft It like it, and married
a buxom wife.
One da, however, the wagon of w hich
he was so proud came to grief. Simon
was thrown out and taken home in a dy

attended by his weeping wife, more than
bodily torments seemed to rack him,
and he legged for a priest. The priest
came, and at the end of the confession
which he listened summoned the

him. Dan Malone, a lame fellow and
he thought of no one else after that. I
hated Han : he was no belter than I,
and the oM man made a will, leaving
him all he had. lie put me in the will
for three thousand dollars, too. but I
wasn't sat isficd. One day the old man
got a lot of money paid him. It was a
moit gage 'he put it injhis jntcket and 1
went to tish. I knew he was down in
the woods alone, and 1 thought if any
one couhl knock him senseless he could
get the money ; and then I thought of !
my legacy. If he was dead I could have
that too. Han was sii k that day; I
saw him in lied ; he was asleep. I went ,
and got a pistol there was in the house, '
and then I saw Dan's crutch out side the
door; he'd got so he could walkabout
the house pretty well without it. He'd
had costly doctors called in to him ; and
I thought a minute, and I tok it. I
wasn't going to have my slme measured '
if anything happened the old man. and j
the crutch seemed to be a good thing to
knock him on the head with, too, I :
tied my leg up with a handkerchief and
went down into the woods, leaning on
the crutch as if I ims lame. No one
saw me. The old man was fishing. I ;
went liehind him and hit him on the '
head and took his money and his watch
as he lay senseless. I wouldn't have ;
killed him if he hadn't come too ami 1
called out, '(iood heavens ! it's Simon ! i
Then I had to. I hi 1 the wat.-h in the
tree, meaning to get it some day, and I
liniiH'd home as I had come. If anyone ,
saw me from a distance, they thought it
was Han. I left the crutch where I'd
found it. No one was near. No one
susjiecteil me. Han was arrested, ami
tried and hung. I would have saved
him if I cru'd, without hur-ing myself;
but that was not possible. I he re swear
that he was as innocent as a balie, and
that I did the deed he was hung for.
Simon lived just long enough to sign
' this confession, and long ago, rcpvinani
hands set a stono over poor Han's ne

It was a poor atonement to the victim

which burned bravely upon the hearth,
and prepared to pass it awny bv story
telling, a device to which travelers in
our sit uation are always prone to resort.
The one who had b-en applied to for
the first storv was a man of some ,"'
years of age, who had followed the or-
cupation of a peddler. He had the best
turnout in the stable which that part of
the country had ever seen in his line.
though he had told us that once he had
for years carried a pack on his back.
But by his own exert ion and industry he
had risen above that now, and had a
snug sum laid up against the time when
he should give up his business, and take
the remaining years of his life in an
easier way.
He at once commenced his story :
"It is now near! v fifteen vears ago that
the adventure befell me that I am about
to relate
"It was Ix'fore I gave up my pnek for
a horse and cart, though I had already
made up mv mind that I could afford it.
I was traveling through a wild section
' of country wilder, if possible, than this
; almut here. Between the settlements
. there were lwng stretches of forest filled
with wild leasts, and now and then you
' came ujion a band of strolling savages.
I Itesides these, there was the usual class
i of villians, horse-thieves and renegades,
I who would not hesitate to take a man's
; life if they thought it to their advantage
I to do so.
! "One night I Mopped at a tavern which
j stood in the midst of a little settlement
of not more than a dozen log houses. I
had been round them and drove what
bargains I con; I. and in the Morning I
was io co on at as early an hour as ivv--!
sible. f,ir I learned thai I had nearly a j
score of miles to go l.'-fore 1 should .

In the evenintr there was assembled in
the bar-room all the male deniens of
the pi. ice ; among them there was one
whom I at once set down as a villain.
His looks plainly showed that there was
little he would hesitate to ;io if there
was anything to gain. Again and again
I caught him looking toward my pack,
which I had placed in one corner of the
room, near the bar: and once I felt sure
he was looking at me us though calcula
ting whether or no I should be a dan
gerous antagonist in case he should rob
me of it. The more I saw of him the
less I liked his looks, and I felt relieved

"1 was up 1-et lines the next morning
and as soon as I had eaten my breakfast
I started. As I h U the ?cttlement be-
hind me I could not he 1, glancing about
when at last he left the room for home
me to make sure that the man ot whom
I had formed so jxwr an opinion was not
following me ; but hewasnot lo les cn.
Hardly anyone was stirring out of doors,
and there was little life except nloutthe
tavern, or where the white smoke curled
up alove the roof of each cabin.
"Once within the foiest 1 hurried on.
desiring to put as great a distance as I
could between rue and the settlement in
as little time as possible.
"A feeling of danger oppressed me,
which 1 found it imiossible to shake off.
I am not naturally timid, or given lo
presentiments, as many are ; but on this
occasion there was a sort of fear upon
me of which I could not lid myself, try
as haul as 1 might.
"All the morning I kept on in this
i way, and by noon I felt that I had put a
distance lietween me and t lie settlement
that I had no longer any cause to fear
. any one that I had left In-hind me.
j "As I had learned from the landlord
! that 1 would not be able to reach any
human habitat ion before night fall, 1 had
; taken my dinner with me, and now, feel
; ing the need cf it, I sat down by the
' edge of a clear stream which crossed the
! road, and con.menced my noontide meal.
Only a man who has walked as 1 had
that morning can know the relish 1 had
for the bread and meat which had been
provided for me, and when the generous
supply had di-'appeaied I almost wiihed
that there had been more.
"The extra exertion 1 had made, and
the hearty meal of which 1 had partaken
made me sleepy, and, placing my pack
under my head, I closed my eyes, think
ing I would take a few minutt s rest be

he would be so near that he could reach

just on the point of springing to my feet
when, quick as a flash of lightning, the

Some time aero we published th" com
monly received statements in regard to
the introduction of wheat ;nto America
from Kurope: but if the fact stated
lielow lc true, then wheat must have
bf-en grown in America long before the
advent of the Spanish, l'ng'i-di. or
Dutch to this country, or even of the
Xoiscmen. It is generally Mippoied
that Cortez planted in Mexico, in l.VM,
the first wheat ever grown on American
'soil. Trom Mexico wheat was intro
. dti'-ed into 1'eru. The Knt-iish and
