Sworn statement of David lirCreary, of Napier ToWn
ehip. Bedford county:
In 4111,1856, as near as I can remember, a small
pimple made its appearance on my lip, which soon be
came enlarged and sore. 1 used poultices of Harrel, and
wash of blue vitrolt without effect. Finding the sure
extending, I called, on Dr. Ely, of Saellebnrg, who pro
nounced it CANCER. and prescribed a ivash of sugar of
lead and bread poultices. Finding these remedies of no
availa called upon Dr. Shaffer; of Davidville, Bominiet
county, who•aleo pronounced-the disease Cancer. and
gave me internal and external remitliem—the latter con
sisting principally of caustic; but-all to no purpose, as
the disease continued spreading toward the note. 1 next
used a preparation d arsenic, in the form of wilco. This
fur a time checked the disease, but the inflammation soon
increased. I next called upon Lir. Stutter. of St. Claire
villa, Bedford county, •who also promaniced the diecate
Caner, and applied a salve said to be a never failing
remedy, but it had no affect whatever in checking the
spread of the sore. In December. of the same year, the
disease had eaten away a greater part of my upper lip,
and had attacked the nose. when I went to Cincinnati.
where I consulted Prof. R. S. Newton, of the Elastic
Medical College. He pronounced the disease "a cutanc
oua Cancer. superinduced by an inordinate use or mer
cury." Ile applied mild zinc ointment. and gave me in
ternal remedies. My face healed up. hitt the infiamma-
Bon was not that., uglily removed. In February, 1817,
he pronounced ma cured, arid 1 left for h me. In April
the disease again returned, and so violent was the pain
that I could not rest at night! Late in May I returned to
Cincinnati, and again placed myself under the charge of
Dr. Newton, with whom I remained until Septemberdia.
ring which time he used every known remedy, and part
ly succeeded is checking the disease, but when I return
ed home there were still three discharging ulcers upon
my face. 1 continued using Newton's preparations, and
also medicine that I got from Dr. Ely, but the Cancer
continued growing patil ithad eat of flee /efts/de of my
nose, the greater portion of my . loft cheek, dad had at
tacked my left ego. I had given npall hap° of .ever be
ing eured. :ince Dr. Ely said he could give relief, lint
that a cure was impossible. In March, 1818; I bought a
bottle of .11lood Scarcher;" but I must confess that 1
had no faith in it. - I was very weak when I commenced
taking it; but 1 found that 1 gained strength day by
day, and also that the ulcera commenced drying up. I
continued, and when the third bottle was token my face
was healed as if by a miracle. I used a fourth bottle,
and I bate been healthier since than I have been for the
last seven years. Although my face Is sadly disfigured.

THE BANK NOTE,

'ln the State's Prison I echoed.—

'True nevertheless.'
Mrs. Elmore raised her eyes from her
knitting, and looking at her husband
and then at me, with a sort of smile,
that seemed to say—" Prue, every word
of it.'
Mr. Elmore was a planter living near
Natchez, in Mississippi, and 1, fancying
myself art artist, was at that time stay•
ing at his house, ostensibly engaged in
painting a portrait of his daughter An-
nette, a fair young beauty of seventeen.
True, my stay had already been long

purposes of painting, but for reasons
which will appear more fully hereafter,

.
tiering how -it could be possible that
that mild, benevolent, old gentleman
could ever have been so abused.
'Perhaps you would like to hear how
it happened he said.iniviringly.
'Most certainly, if you are Willing to
narrate it.'
'I have never spoken of it since I
have been here, but if„you, will listen
to•night to an old inati'S babbling, I will
tell you the story. •
'Forty years ago tp4ay,'l was twen-
ty.two years old, and. itnprobable as:it
may now seem, I was piae.ticang loq in
the city of Boston: Pit-, rather, I was
si . ttink (Ace waiting to practice.
My fattier, who had died when I was
but a boy, had been a lawyer before me,
and it was my ambition always to he
like him, as I dimly remembered him,
and as any mother descci,bcd. hint.
'At ihat-titne my c lnother and myself
were living together in a little house in
Noxbury, and I had just began to see
some prospect of success in my busi
ness.
"l'here was an acquaintance of mine,
Louis Milton by name, at that time cash
ier in one of the city hanks.
'Circumstances had thrown us much
together, and we had grown to be very
good friends, so much so that he had
often spoken to me of a certain_ Mary
Marshall, whom he.was accustomed to
regard as his future wife ; the contract,
for such only it could.be called, having
,been entered into years before by their
parents.
'Weston Marshall was a wealthy im•
porter, and the elder Mi)ton chief own
er of the ,hank in.which,Letuis.vrat cash
.lloll3„.wesO wealthy and hoth ariO
tocratic, and hence the foundation of
the contract, 1 had never seen her, and
never thought of her but when he spoke
of her, little dreaming that site would
one day indirectly effect a thorough
c hange in my whole life. But I must
not anticipate.
shall never forget one snowy night,
the first time I ever saw her. Some the.
atrical celebrity was "starring" at one
of the Boston theatres, and Louis and
myself happening together in the even•
ing, strolled
,into the theatre. In one
of the intervals between the acts Louis
turned to tee and asked:
pleasure.'
~Duore you
see,'he
'Have you ever seen Mary I'
answered that I had never had that
said, directing my
attention to
l a nd r y em d o re te ss p ef a l r i t of the nraurp house, le,with
yon' d t a h r a k t plumes in her hat 1'
replied that I did.'
`Well, that's Mary.'
Placed as we then were, in the glar
ing light, I could see little beyond the
particulars of dress he had remarked; -
hut the chances.,of the crowd, as we
left the theatre, brought me quite near
her,and I thought then, as I think now,
that I had never looked. Onto "a pair of
deeper, or more heartfull eyes: But we
passed on chatting pleasantly together
of different things, arid that night I
slept ria pound, dreamlees a sleep as if
there , were never a woman in christen.
'Mayhap you have noticed—if you
have what .people call 'an ear for music,'
you certainly have—that you may listen
to a piece of music which strikes you
as being peculiarly beautiful, and go
away, and one hour afterward you could
not recall, so as to articulate, a singe
note of it, though your life depended
upon so doing. Arid yet, days' after
wards, when youvleas . t,,eiPect it, you
will catch yonrself:,hilierning strain al

them fl'orri• childhood; ant! in truth it
alraal - seem like ari eat) of some
thing with which you had long age been
familiar, than the acquisition of some
thing entirely new. -
'Just so was it to me:with Mary Mar
shall's eyes. Ido not think I thought
of them for weeks after that night at the
theatre, until one 'morning I:watt-walk.
.ing in nay :offleg,,thinkirkg of 'declara
not' Le loVe, but in law;: . wheta - her
image dtarteo put irtimemory with more
than:the4isiin'etiters of most familiar
faces.' I cannot explain why this should
be so, any more than I can explain why
it is that at occasional periods in every
man's life there flashes across his mind,
with a sort of curdling shudder, a shad•
owy consciousness of having seen and
heard. all that is then passing, at some
remote point of the illimitable past. I
-only . know that -both:. are true., The
.causes of and the deductions from, I
leave to rnore,.profound speculators.

ed determined Iloilo be exorcised, and
it maintained its position during the en.
tire...friorning, pertinaciously returning
to 'the attack whenever displaced for a
moment by asaiduotis application to the
perusal of 'Coke upon Littleton.'
-• 'ln the afternoon of the same day, I
was passing slowly down Tremont street.
There had been a warm son for some
days, and the snow-was'disappearing.—
...Now and then, where it was drifted on
the roofs, the dampening of the slates
,occasioned it to slip from its position,
and descend in miniature avalanches in
to the-street below; sometimes carry•
ing with it fragments of ice, which from
the last night's freezing, were clinging
to the eaves.
'Suddenly one of these 's/ides' del.
uged me with snow; and a lady, who
had been walking just •before me for
some distance, was knocked down by a
fragment.
'Of course my first impulse was to
raise and carry her into the nearest
shop; and next, to inquire if she was
at all injured: But the motion of car
rying commenced the work of reanima.
Lion, and the restorative produced by
,some ladies present in •the shop, Boon
.completed it, and the same eyes l had
seen at the theatre again met my. own.

how :it happened that I called a carriage
and accompanied her to her father's
house ;..ot bow. a pleasant acquaintance
gi
sinng out,of ,that chance senice;.of
thousand other things you can as well
imagine. . , . .
'Let it be enough to tell you that—l
suppose you already entioipatethat a
friendship soon sprang up between us,
which long before the blossoms of the
following spring, had ripened into
.ac
knowledged love, and that, unheeding
any obstacle which might be setup be
tiveen us, we were happy as summer
birds.
'For some years previous to this time,
little—nay nothing—had been said by
any party in regard to the contract long
before entered into between the parents
of Louis and Mary ; and the ia!ter,
whose gay heart had scarcelygiven it a
thought, hoped that it bad beenfoirgot•
ten, or, at least, abandoned by iri'Ot con•
sent. But causes which 1 will
allude to soon, brought it to rement•
brance.
'For several months both the houses
of Marshall and Milton, in common
with a major part of the commercial
community,
.had been dipping largely
into extravagant speculation, and had
been losers to an alarming extent, tho'
neither, knew..of the ; other's danger i and
liOth 'retained their reputation for wealth.
Under these circumstances, bath look
edto the s consumination of this contract
of marriage, as the most available means
of avoiding bankruptcy ; and according
ly Louis pressed his suit urgently, and
Marshall aided him with all his powers
of persuasion. 1 was poor, and Mar•
shall was a—in short., would havo
been -worse than useless for me to
have spoken then.
'And so the time had gone forward
into the summer, and one afternoon ac
cident brought Mary and myself togeth
er, in one of the city book stores.—
While there, chatting over the hooks, I
purchased one of them, and gave it to
her, paying for it with a bank note of
some large denomination.
'And now, tet me hasten over a por
tion of my life which can give you lit.
tie pleasure in the hearing, and is cer
tainly bitter in memory.
'The next morning I was arrested,
charged with having uttered counterfeit
money. I need not tell you that I was
astounded. I knew not which way to
turn or what to
. say. There was the
bill I had passed the day before, with
the word "Counterfeit" written across
the face by Louis Milton, who, in entire
ignorance of the fact that lhad passed
it, had thrown it out when presuLted for
deposit. I could not deny harg giv
en it, and even if it could have been of
any avail, I was unable to say whether
it was counterfeit or not. Some old
enmity against my father prompted the
proprietor of the book store to a vin,
(fictive prosecution of the charge ;•and
bitterly was he revenged; for my..con
viction, which followed close upon my
arrest, killed. my poor mother,".,

Well, the trial came on. I did all I
thought I could, but 1, could not deny
that I had given. the note; 'lt seemed
that there could be no doubLef its spu
riousness, and the nrosecution4as press

.convicted and -sentenced to imprison

iitfamous, as fil;uught„forever,is it any
wonder that I sometimes prayed for
death to terminate my suffering? Her
etter'hopelessness of agony, under that
terrible Arial, no human• tongue can tell.
'Meantime the great world outside
my prison•house, moved on unheeding.
Pecuniary pressure gradually tightened
around both Marshall and Milton, until
they each felt that the only hope lay in
the union 'of-.Louie and . Mary..„How
fallacious was ;be hope the sequel Show

long since' ceased endeavoring . to per
suade his daughter, and had tried com•

and he now resorted to entreaty. He
faithfully represented to her the condi

him from ruin and disgrace by marrying
the son of the rich banker...

she thought, to her father's goOd ; and
they were married. Alas I how vain

marriage, mutual explanations disclosed
the truth, and.hoth houses 'failed' the

truth is.not know.m.to this day. Louis
Milton, giving way under ihe Magnitude
of the temptatiob of dishonesty, gath
ered together the remnants of -both for.
tunes, regardless,-of his father or his
creditors, and departed.: suddenly none
knew whither, carrying with him his
humbled and sorrowing wife.
'The commercial world was startled,
for a moment, by the- extent-of the fail
ures; but in a few brief weeks, after
ward, the thing was almost forgotten
save by those who suffered immediate
loss.
`All these thingsl learned long after
ward. It would profit nothing to detail
to you the wearying and humiliating
routine, of my prison life. Let me pass
to the close,
'1 had been shut out from the world
nearly two years, and one evening was
sitting on the low• bed in my -solitary
cell, drearniegly wandering among the
'gardens of thernorr.'. Sorrowful enough
is this, even to him to whom time has
brought no
: shadow of disgrace. Who,
while he looks into the irrevocable
'long ago,' dozes around his fireside,
surrounded:by those who love him, and
those he loves; who shall say how many
'grim forms of unrepented error' look
out from its shadow upon even the hap
piest man? How much less, then, shall
.any tongue tell how much bitterer , than
gall it was to look .into the past, to me,
who, %.while yet young, had ,seen my
.name. stained with foulest dishonor, all
my aspirations in a moment crushed,
and ,my dearest hopes, even in their
broadest noun, blotted into instant
night.
'And,tio I WaS• sitting in the groWing
gloom of that autumn evening, mental
ly living over again the days that were
gone, when the door opened and the
turnkey, accompanied by two or three
gentlemen, entered the cell. One of
the gentleirien I recognized as having
been the prosecuting attorney upon my
trial ; the other I did not know.
'This is the - man, Mr. Crampton,'
said the- turnkey. I rose, and bowed
"My `dear .Elmore,' said the attorney,
frankly extending his hand, 'let me con
gratulate you upon your restoration to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi
ness, as the ancients have it. You are
from this moment free to wander width :

'lt was a hot but beautiful day in May
when the White Cloud swung out into
the current, and steamed gallantly down
the river. The heat was tempered by a
strong breeze from the South, before
which .small fleecy clouds, that seemed
almost, nielting into the distant blue,
like fairy bieges, scudded swiftly to the
northward'. • Always silent and abatrac•

to all appestanCe looking at the banks
of the river, fiut really looking dream•

partial litaing of one's present conscious•

pleasantness of 'years agorae,'
'Late in the afternoon, the sun disap
peared behind a mass of leaden blue
clouds, gilding its volumed verge with
a line of daizling light.. The wind
ceased entirely, a stifling close•
ness crept through the atmosphere ; and
to an eye at alb weatherwise, it was evi
dent that the armies of-the air were
mustering for a conflict. By-and-by the
thunder, which like the artillery on a
distant battle-field had all the afternoon
trembled along the horizon, swelled
nearer and snore near; the lightning,
fierce spirit of the storm, keened from
the bosom of ide cloud, and we ved his

drops, which, iii the oppressive st.illiress,
sounded like a shower of shot clattered
upon the deck ; and then, with all the

'For more then three hours, the storm
raged with unabated fory,and even when
Its fiercest rush had swept away to the
east, the rain poured down in steady
torrents, and except fur Fin occasional
