have You a Cbavh: - Have:You a Sore
Throat ! Have you any of the premonitory
symptoms of that most fatal disease, Con
sumption ?
Those who SWIM' . be warned by these
symptoms generally,think lightly.of them
until it is too lute. From this fact, perhaps
More then any other, arises the sad preva
lence and fatality of disease which sweep?.
to the grave ntleast "one sisth".of dea2h's
victims.
Consumption has destroyed more of the
human family than any other disease, and
the best physicians for many years have
despaired of a cure, ora remedythatwoidd
heal thetung,s, but for more than two hun
dred years the whole medical world haS
been impressed that there was a mysterious
power and efficiency in the Pine Tree Tar
to heal the lungs; therefore they have re
commended the use of Tiir Water, ' which
in ninny cases had a good eftect; but how
to vim - thine the medical properties so as to
heal the lungs, has ever been a mystery
until it was discovered by Dr. L. Q. C.
WISHART, of Philadelphia, Pa. the pro
prietor of "
Wishart's Pine Tree Cordial."
Many, not-only of the people, but phys
icians of every school and in are daily
asking me "'What is the principle or valise
of your success in the treatment of Pulmo
nary Consumption?" My answer Is this :
The invigoration of the digestive organs
—the strengthening ofthe debilitated system
—the purification and el/rip/mien/ of the
blood, must expel from the system the cor
ruption which scrofula breeds. While this
is effected by the powerfnl alterative (chang
ing front disease to health) properties of
the Tar Cordial, its healing and renovating
principle is also acting upon the irritated
surfaces of the lungs and throat, penetra
ting to each diseased part, relieving pain,
subduin'• inflamation, and restoring a
healthful tendency. Let this two-fold pow
er, the healing and the strengthening, can.
tinue to net in conjunct int). with Nature's
consOant recuperative tendency. and the
patient is saved, if he has not too long de
layed. a resort to the means of cure.
I ask all to rend the following elrtificates.

tTO' noble worth and reputation :

AT TRY GRAVE.
BY FINLEY 7011N.801
The-nildnight hours are tolling now,
Ai o'er thy grave I weep;
- And though the busy world now lies
Rocked in the-arms of sleep.
Yet have I come, my sorrowing tears
Upon thy tomb to shed;
And _wish myself, in bitterness,
To. be as thou art—dead.
The solemn shadows of the night,
- Aro clusteriug.roundme now ;
Lfea their damp and chilly-mist
Upon my fevered brow.
Yet in my sad and stricken heart,
. There is a clgrlcr night ;
Compared to which this earthly one,
Is beautiful and bright.
I do not seek
,thy sculptured tomb,
In the broad glare of day;
That idle ones may mock die grief '
That wears my life away ;
Oh, no, but when the midnight stars
Shine brightly down on me,
I seek thy grave, that none may chide
My falling tears for thee.
The dawn is breaking in the East,
Night's shadows dee away ;
And I must go and join the world,
And unto it seem gay ;
But, oh, there is a fancy within,
Which nono may ever know,
A fancy that's crushing out my life—
The hopelessness of woo.

BY HOPE BASTING
.
"Will th 3 sl - adow never be lifted from
my life ? will I never walk in the sun:-
shine ?" sighed Ruth Rivers; and her
attitude was very desponding as she sat
by the open window, leaninz , her elbow
upon the sill, and resting her cheek in
the hollow of her, dainty palm. And yet
no great sorrow had ever swept its wings
of raven blackness over het: life, chilling,
&Ugh tiug her heart; the world said: "Ruth
was to be envied." The only daughter
of wealthy parents, petted and indulged;
the pride of her father, the darling of her

to her ?
Philosophize as we may, life is made
up of little things, little joys, little grief's
—the great come but rarely, sad after
all it is these little things that come be
tween us and happiness, that irritate and
annoy us, shadowing our4iges with a cold
thrbiddiug shadow; if we could evade
them or rise above them, what a lona ,
stride we would make towards perfection
and happiness. The soul chafes angrily
at their bondage, and is ever looking forth
into the Future fbr release and freedom;
dreaming dreanis r bitilding airy castles,
bright, beautiful, and impatiently ,waiting
for their realization—and when that Fu
ture comes, how the fairy structure falls,
lying in glittering fragments all about us,
mucking our disappointment. And so
Ruth was ever reaching forth her hands,
to grasp the delusive promise, if perchance
she might satisfy the vague want of her
soul, only to clutch at phantoms, and have
her hands returned empty.
For once the shadow seemed fairly lifted
from Ruth's life; the sunshine of perfect
joy bathed her in its warm radiance; every
wish, every want, lost in the function of
the present hour, as she stood at the alter
and plighted her troth to Richard Grant,
leaning so confidingly upon his strong
arm, henceforth to be her stay through
all of life's journey, looking up into his
face, beaming with a great wealth of ten
derness.
They traveled. Richard was proud of
his bonney bride, but, even the bridal
tour must have an end, and so at length
they were quietly settled in their cosy
home, Ruth and her brave, true-hearted
bust:mufti, In these first weeks of mar
ried life, they were very happy, the cloud
never rested upon her brow, no shadow
ever chilled her heart•; but it came quickly
—came with Richard's only pet sister,
gentle Edith Grant. Many years his
junior, when their parents died, Edith
became Richard's ward, his care, his life
aim—by his own labor be clothed and
educated her, and now that he had a wife
and home, Edith must leave the cold
charities of boarding school, and share it.
Ruth heard the proposition with some
misgivings, but she acceded to it, simply
because she could not do otherwise, and
so Edith came to Elmsdale.
Even Ruth was charmed with the light
hearted child-girl, who came to her so
lovingly, so brightly, and inv duntarily
took her into her heart—but alas I Edith
broke the charm when she seated herself
upon her brothier's knee, one arm about
his neck, chatting all the while g ily.—
It had always been Ruth's place in the
quiet evening-time, how could she help
resenting the 'usurpation as she deemed
it? and she went out upon the porch,
under the Vines heavy with dew, with a
bitter feeling at her heart. As for Rich
ard; how could he help holding the tiny
form of his child-sister close to his heart,
livtening with a pleased smile to her merry
tales.-

room heayily, "I leave to-morrow; the
company have made me their captain."

ceived that he intended to enlist, she was
startled aghast, could only say, "oh Rich

ing. So they parted, husband and wife,

in her safe home with her little ones ;
they parted under a heavy cloud, be

in their torn, eh prison house
fluttering, hovering between life uud
death.—
The news came to Ruth; "Captain
Grant is dangerously wounded," and
then the wife spoke and said, "i will go
to him."
Passing through a crowded military
hospital is a sad eyed woman, peering
eagerly into the laces of the suffering
heroes, searching one dearer than life, a
husband.
Captain Grant's wound had been care
fully dressed, and he had sunk into a
slumber of exultation, lying so still so
pale, that Ruth thought Aleath had come
before her.
Tremblingly she leanedover his couch
to catch his breath, oh joy ho does
breathe, he yet lives; and her heart said:
'Father I thank Thee' coming from the
depth or her great despair, the titint hope
seemed greater joy than all the blessings
oilier former life.
Day after day she was by his side min
istering to him eagerly watching the
struggle with the dread king of tet rors,
scarcely daring to pray that he might be
spared yet awhile to her.
Ruth walked in the shadow of the
first great sorrow that had ever fallen
athwart her life—path, but it came not
to her in vain. The story of her life lay
open before her, and she read therein,
how she had sorrowed needlessly over
such little things, how she li td darkened
her life and his life with many evils,
how she had forgotten to count the daily
mercies, that fall about her so softly in
her eagerness to attain some great hap
piness.. r.
Richard Omit opened his eyesitpon his
wife, her face radiant with the hope the
surgeon had given her, pale lips scarce
ly formed the wards his ',heart would
speak—'.N.Ly Ruth.' It was enough, her
arms are about his neck—her lips touch
—linger Upon' his pale brow, murmuring
—Thank. God—the dead is alive, the
lost is found.'
Reeoiery was rapid under the gentle
assiduous care of wife and skill of sur
geon. Captain Grant was pronounced
convalescent and able to start for his
home on the morrow. Very weak, very
much wasted, the shade* of his former
self—but Ruth hoped 611 things, from
home - scenes and home comforts, she had
learned to appreciate joy—
" Ruth my little wife, to you under

Letter from Our Regular Oorrespekdeut
NEW BERLIN, N. Y:, JULY 7, '64
BEAU SPY :—A trip from Pittsburgh
do this place, via. Cleveland, Buffalo, Uti:
ca, &c., ought, to furnish materials for a
.communication that would posess consid
erable interest; but we hale long since
learned that not so much upon the ma
terial aelho manner in which it is treated,
depends the interest of a correspondence.
If I had never before been impressed with
the truth of the above, reading a charm
ing description of '.My first ride over the
Alleghenies;" by a correspondent of a Chi
cago paper, - reeently, (that really gave me
more pleasure than-the trip itself, which
I had taken about two weeks previously)
would have been sufficient to convince me
that how a thing is said, rather than what
is said, makes it agreeable or otherwise.
With the exception of the Lake Shore
route' between Cleveland and Buffalo, (a
distance of about one hundred and ninety
miles) the dust and heat rendered it ex
ceedingly unpleasant traveling,-but the
lake breeze that fanned us during this
part of our route made it decidedly agree
, ble, and yet here occurred the most un
leasan t• transaction of the trip. So mueb
as been said upon this very subject, and
I am so averse to saying anything unkind
of the fair se; that nothingi but a-hope.
hat some one may possibly read - this and
etermine always to treat gentlemen civ
'lly, prompts me to write it.
Soon after leaving Cleveland; one of
ho heavily laden cars was . found to be
nfit fbr *service, and the paskagers from
't must be trsinsfered to the 'remaining
ars. , Although nearly five; hundred
ilea of my journey remained to be made,
ad I saw but little prospect or enjoyment
n standing for more than one hundred
. Iles, yet when two- elegantly dressed
tulles made.theirlippearaneeln the aisle,
with not a vacant seat in sight, my gal
lantry-would' not allow me to remain in

arose and offered it to them.
Without any sign of thankfulness, not
even a look, they leisurely proceeded to
occupy .a seat, to which their only claim
consisted in the kuuwledge that a gentle
man is unwilling to see ladies occupy less
comfortable quarters than- himself. ' This
was bad enough, but when 1 returned to
the seat for an article of baggage which
I. had forgotten, I was spoken to petu
lantly and indeed uncivily, because I had
dared to disturb them iu their prospects
for a nap. To escape further attacks, I
made my way to a second-class car, where
I rude for the next hundred miles, phil
osophizing upon the strange freaks of
poor humanity. .I should hardly do jus
tice to my feelings if I 'failld to say that
the above, ceotruets strangely with nearly
all my other experience.
During the whole route of about six
hundred miles, laying in three great States
ot• Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York,
evidences of severe drouth were apparent
on every hand; many crops will probably
be considerably injured thereby, but He
who has promised seed-time and harvest
will not forget us altogether, even though
we become entirely unmindful of Him.
I can only allude . to some of the places
of interest through which I passed, for
you could illy afford the room in your
paper for all that suggests itself to um.
Three hours in Buffalo gave me an op
portunity to see something of the opera
tions of the immense grain elevators,where
the day before, (which was reported as
decidedly dull) one hundred and forty
thousand bushels of wheat were sold.—
What their daily cap .city was I endeav
ored in vain to learn. From here the
Canada shore is plainly visible and the
Falls of Niagara are but twenty two miles
distant. At Rochester the railway passes
close by the beautiful , falls in this river,
and at Syracuse you can sec scores of
acres covered with vats for the manufac
ture of salt by evaporation. At this place
i was informed that although millions of
barrels of salt`had been made, running
over a long term of years, the salt springs
show no signs of failure, but aro rather
on the increase.
At Rome on the line of the Now York
Central Railway, a small newsboy came
bouncing into the car, and with a
voice nearly as shrill as a Locomotive
whistle, cried out, "Buy an Evening pa

Lee's whole army reported in rebel hands.
Gold violations and lots of othernews I"
"What's that I" said an old gentleman
who had failed to hoar the whole. "Only
e cents," replied the news-boy, handing
him a paper. Another gentleman oxpcs
talated with him for asking so much as
five cents for so smalls paper, to which
he immediately replied, "how can I live
at any less price, with gold at two-,
His sharp replies secured him a liberal

A Bit of the "Real Romance of Life."
About 12 years since a young wife
who, to all appearances, was living quiet
ly and peaceably with her husband, iu
one of our large towns in Western N. Y.,
took it in her bead to sever the hands of
connubial felicity, and try the larger
liberty of single blessedness again. So
when her husband was gone one day, she
took with her a little girl, abuut four or
five years of age, the only child, and de
parted for parts unknown. The hus
band, when he became aware of the fact,
and found his house at once desolate and
lonely, instituted a vigorous search for
his discontented and absconded wife.—
Afteespentling several hundred dollars
and traveling several thousand miles, he
found her in a distant. State engaged in
teaching. She steadily resisted every
entreaty to come back, and clung to the
little girl with the tenacity of a mother's
love. The husband returned home with
a heavy heart, leaving his wife and little
girl behind. The wife continued teach- 1
lag, and in the course of a short time
succeeded, by the laws of the State in
which she was living, in getting a bill of
divorce from her husband whom she had
left. In a year or two, she was married
again to a man, who had been an "old,
flume" and was living with him not more
than twenty miles from the home she,
had desoLatel a year or two before.
Several attempts were made by the. for
saken father to get his girl, but the
mother, in every case, outgemeraled him.
Partly to make her bold upon the child
more secure, and paftly from love of ad
venture, the, woman and the near hus
band removed to California, taking, of
course the girl with them. Years
, during which the forsaken hus
band i heard nothing of t ais whereabouts
of. his truant wife, 'and his' Tittle girl
whom he eo math loved- Sometime the

A lady residing in the Rue des Trois

quantity of May Mlles, which she placed ,

her daughter, a weakly child, aged six
years. At night the mother forgot. Sto

closed, and in the morning not hearing . • ,
any movement in tho'rootn, she went to•
