VERY important diSease over which this 'Balsam'
esets a very powerful influence, Is that of a DIE!.
EASED LIVER. In this complaint it has undoubtedly
proved more efficacious - than any remedy hitherto em.
ployed, ant in numerous instances when patients had
'endured long and severe suffering from the disease,
without receivir g the least benefit from various refine.
dies, and when MERCURY has been resorted-to in

Besides its aotonishing efficacy io the disease above
Wesides .....c emcacy in the _
mentioned, we also find it a very - effectual remedy in
ASTHMA, a complaint in which it has been extensive
ly used with decided success, even in cases of years
standing.
It not may emanates from a regular Physician, ',but
hall'also been well' tested in all the complaints; for
which it is reconnnended. It la not my intentior,
therefore, either to cloak it in mystery, or in any Was
deceive the public by overrating its virtues ; on!the ,
contrary, I shalt simply endeavor to give a brief state-1

efficacy will enable toe to furnish such pfnofs

it a privilege and duty to do sh. I have been troubled

Balsam of Wild Cherry in all the diseases for which it
is recommended, curing many cases after the skill of
the best - physicians was unavailing, has effected a
large and increasing demand for it. This fact has

THE FIRE-1..Y:
A TALE
From the German
On the evening of a hot and sultry summer day.
Maria, a pour widow, eat at the opedwindow of
her little chamber. and gazed out upon the neat
orchard that surrounded her cottage, The grass
had been mown in the morning. but the heat of
the sun had soon dried it. She had already
gathered it into heaps, and the sweet smell of the
hay now blew into the chamber, as if to refresh
and strengthen her after her labor. The glow of
sunset was 'already fading upon the border of the
clear and cloudless sky. and the moon shone
calm and bright into the little chatnher, shadowing
the square panes of the half open window, togeth
er' with the grape vine which adorned it. upon
the nicely sanded flour. Little Ferdinand, a boy
of six yearn of age, stood leaning egainst therwin ! .
dew frames. his blooming face and yellow locks,
with a portion• of. his white, clean shirt sleeves,
and scarlet vest, were distinctly 'Tidbit, in the
ninon-tight. . .
The poor woman was sitting thus to rest her
self, perhaps, Out oppressive as bad deer the Ta
bora of the sultry day, yet a heaVier burden weigh- -
ed upon belt . bosoni. and rendered her forgetful of
her weariness. She had eaten'hut a_spoonful or
two of their- supper, which consi•ted of a bnivl of
bread end milk! Little Ferdinandl was also
greatly disturbed, but did not speak. because he
saw that his mother was so sorroWful. Having
observed that his mother, inrtead of 'eating. wept
bitterly, he had — laid aside his spoon; and the
earthen—die 'toad—upon the table, almost us full
as when served up. ••
• Maria was left a widow irethe earlyl'part of thh
previous spring'. Her deceased. husb l and, one of
the worthiest young men in the,village, had, by
industry and economy. saved a sum of,money suf
ficient td , purchase a. little cottage, With its neat
meadow, though not entirely free 'fr'om incum
brance. The indtorions man had planted the
green and cheerful field with you,ng trees, which
already bore the finest fruit. He had chosen Ma
ria for hid wife, although, she was a poor orphan,
and her parents had been able to give her nothing
more than a good education. He had chisen her
because she was knowiyas the moat pious, indus
trious and well-behaved maiden in the village.—
They had' lived happy 'together, but the typhus
fever l hroke out in the village, and her husband
died. Having nursed him with the greatest ten.
Jeanette, she tieritelf we's atteeltd with it, after his
death, and barely escaped with life.
Her husband's sickness end her own, had .
thrown them much behind hand ; 'but no she
must even part with her little cottage. ' Her de.
ceased husband had long labored for the richest
peatomt in the country, amen by the name of
Meyer. The peasant, who highly esteemed him
on account 'of hie fidelity and industry. had lent
him three hundred crowns to purchase his cottage,
with the ground belonging to it. upon the condi•
tion that he would pay off fifty crowns yearly,
torenti.fiviin money and•twentytive in labor.—
Until the year that he was taken sick, her husband
had faithfully performed his agreement, and t h e
debt now amounted to but fifty crowns. -Maria
knew all this very Well. '
. Meyer now : died of the same dtsesse. The
heirs, a son and daughter-m.lBw, found the mile
of the three hundred crowns among the papers of
the deceased. • They did not know a word about
the' affair, as the old man had never spoken of it
to them, ' The terrified woman assured them,
calling beaten to 'witness ) that her deceased hue
band bad paid off the whole except fifty crowns.
But all this wee of no avail. The young peasant
called her's:shameless liar, and summoned ber be
fore ricourt of law. As she could not prove that
anythingliad been pail; it was decided that the
entire' lann against her ass , valid.. The heirs in
sisted upon payinent ; and as poor Maria had no
thing but tier cottage and ground, this little pro-
perty mint now be sold.' She bad fallen upon her
knees before the heirs, end bad prayed them not
to turn her oat of 'doors; littlerettlinand wept
with-her—both wept- 7 -hut all was in' vain. The
following morning was appointed ' for the sale.
tlbe had berinl this in hour' 'afore, just as she had
finished her day's w ork. A neighbor bad called'
out cripr the hedge, sad tot 4-11 to her.
I It wk-for this reason that shp new set pp ern
: roWful by the _open veiodow, glancing now op
JOHNSON
ward to the clear sky, now upon Ferdinand, and
then gazed steadily upon the'lloor.: There waaa
sad silence.
Alas!" she said to herself, 1 •I have taring,
then, raked the hay from the orchard for the last
-time. The early yellow - plums, which I picked
this 'morning for Ferdinend,.is- the last fruit
'which the poor boy will eat from the trees which
it's rattler planted for him: Yes, this may be the
last night we shall spend beneath this roof. By
this time to•rnorrow, this cottage will be enethet's
property, and who can say blit what we shall be
turned out at once. Heaventalone. knows where
we shall find a shelter to-morrow.' Perhaps nit
der the open heaven!" She began to sob vie
lently..
. Little Ferdinand. who until now had not mo
ved, came forward and weeping said-- •
Mother..do not ery,sn'hitterty—or else I can
not taik to you.' Do you not knoW what father
paid, as he - died there on that bed !" Do not
Weep.io: he said ; .'God is a fattier to poor wi&
owe and orphans. Call ripen him in' thy distress,
and he will sid.theit.' That is What liattaid, and
is it not true then 1"
Yes, my dear said the- mother, •• ii is
--
true 1" •
Well," ,aid the h0y,... why do you weep so
long, then? Pray to God, and-fie wiil 'help
you." ; ,
Good child, thou art right!". said his mother;
and her tears flowed less bitterly,and comfort was
mingled with her sorrow. She folded her firms,
and raised. her moist eyes towards heaven and
Ferdinand folded his little hands also, and looked
upward ; and the bright moon shone upon mother.
_
and child.
.And the mother began to pray, and the boy re
pealed every'iivord after her.
"Great Father-in Heaven." she said,• a look
down upon a pooC.,mother end her child—a poor
• ,idow and a poor . orphairs'elie their eyes to thee.
We'.ore in great need, and . have no longer any re

forth, and from yonder bill turn to Itiuk k for.the
last time, upon our house :".. .
• . ,Solis interrupted her; weeping; she gazed to.
ward . Heaven; and was silent.. The 4 boy; who
yet stood with! folded hands, suddenly exclaimed,
with outstretched fingers— • .
'• Mother; look! Whet is that? Yonder
moves a light;--yonder flies a tittle star. Look,
them it hurries by the window! . Oh, see now it
come in! [Tow, Might and beautiful it shines !
Look, only look! •it has a greenish light. It is
almost as beautiful as the evening star Now_ it
moves along the ceiling.
,That is wooderfuld"'-
olt is the fire fly, dear Ferdinand," said his
mother: - i•lit the daytime it is a sinull and un
sightly insect; but in the night it gives out a

.
May. I catch Ur', said the boy. ...Will 'it
not huh Me, and will nut the lighi burn me 1" .
It will not .burn thee," said his mother, and
she laughed, while the tears still' 'streamed ddcin
her cheeks: Catch it, and examine it closer.
It is one of the.' wonders of God's Almighty
pOwer." . .
The. boy, entirely. forgetful of Ilia sorrow, at
once tried to catch the Fperkling fire.fly, now on
the flour, now under the table, now' under the
chair. •
Ab, me, svhal a pity !" said the boy ;. for
just as he bad stretched out his hand to grasp the
bright-insect,. it new behind the great chest that
mood ,against the taroll. He looked- under the
chest. • - •
"f see it plainly enough," he said ; "there it
is, Close against the wall ; and the white 4all, and
the floor, end every bit of dust near it shines as if
the moot, shone upon it ; but I cannot reach it
My arm is not long cnotigb." ,
"
Have petienci," said his mother, " it will soon
come out again."•
The boy waited a little while, and then came to
tits mother,. end' said, with- a' soft, imploring
voice—
• Mother, do you get it Out far me, or. move the
often if little from the well, end I can easily catch
The moth!4 rose!, moved the chest from the'
wall. and the hoy took the quiet fire fly, examined
it in the hollow of his little hand, and was deligh,
led with it.
But his Lather's 'attention was attracted by a
different object. • As she - moved the -chest some
thinp.which had stuck between it and the wall,
fell upon the floor. She uttered - a loud cry - as she
picked it up.
Ati!" she exclaimed, t. no 4 our trouble is
over. That is last year's account book, which (-
have so long'looked for in vain. I thought it had
been destroyed, as of no-value, by strangers; per
haps. while 1 lay smeless during my illness !
Now it can he shown that,thy father paid the mu
neY that they demand of us. Who would have.
thought that the account book stuck behind the
great chest Which we took., with the cottage, and
which fiss,not been moved since we bought it."
She at mice lighted a lamp and turned-over
leaves of the account book, while tears of joy
sparkled in her eyes. Eierything was correctly
put doWn—tbe , sum which her deceased husband
owed of the three hundred 'crowns at the begin
ning of the year. anti what he paid off in money
and Work; Belo* stood the following lines, Writ

• "I have , settled accounts with James Bloom
