Given under my hand at my office. [Signed.] HIRAM COX, M. D., Inspector of Alcoholic Liquors, he: The OHIO CATAWBA BRANDY not only equals, but even ,oxcels tho best imported Brandies in purity and flavor. It is in fact the best Brady known.— This statement is fully corroborated by the certifi. sate of many of our most distinguished analytical Chemists, some of which accompany this:circular. The want of PURE BRANDY has long been felt in this country anti the introduction of nn article of such quality as to supereede the sale and use of those vile compounds hitherto sold under the name of Brandy, can only be regarded as a great public good. The CATAWBA BRANDY possesses all .the good qualities claimed for the best imported Liquor, and is of perfect purity and superior flavor. It is therefore fully entitled to the patronage of 'the pub lic as the above certificate has shown. We feel con. tidentthat its reception in this State will be ns fa vorable as that which it has Mot with in the Groat West, and that time is not far distant when the superiority of oir own Liquors will put an end to their inTortation from abroad. For Medical purposes this Brandy has no rival, and has long been needed. C?l It is a sovereign and sure remedy for Dys pupate, Flatulency, Low Spirit's, Languor, Cenertil Debility, ho. These Wines are made in the neighborhood of Cincinnati, and are guaranteed to be the Juice, of the Grape, and are eminently calcoluted for inval ids, and persons who require a gentle stimulant, or as a beverage will be found equal, if not huporior to the best imported.

The light, that stream in at the window, was not that of the• early morning, upon which my eyes had just opened.

The dreadful weight on my heart and brain. was a reality.. Be fore my eyes was a proof of my wretched ness; in my hands I held it. Clod pity me! it was real—real CHARLES RECK " Walter Mayo to Miss Helen Stickney," that was all! But my heart was breaking; my brain Whirled like a maniac's. This mighty truth clasped itself about everytning It was in me and around me—above me Rnd beneath me. There was no leaving it—no forgetting it. There was no rest for me; constantly my heart must bear up its terri ble load of grief. ' 4 And yet it was no wonder," I thouuht, while the calmness of despair settled upon me—" no wonder, that he should prefer the brilliant, accomplished; city belle to me, the simple, quiet, unpretending country girl I had often heard him praise her; she was like a sister to him, he had said. Perhaps, of a sudden, he found he loved her better than me; God only knew ! But -oh ! It was so cruel to bear ! I could not, could not live !" "Did people ever die suddenly when such erief came upon them?" I wondered. If so, I believed I was dying . I rose, and went to the Mirror. My face was as white as snow, my eyes as wild and staring as though I was wrestling with the great con queror. Lines of purple-lay about my lips, which looked as if they were frozen—fro zen with such a pitiful . expression of woe daupeyrotyped upon them. I clasped my icy hands over my eyes to shut out the pic ture, which I had not strength enough to turn away from—my senses leaving me, as, with a low moan of agony from my lips, I sank helpless upon the floor. WI ca I awoke to consciousness, I-was in my mother's room, lying upon her bed, *ith hey dear face, anxious and tearful, bending over me. " I was extremely ill," she said. "She had found me lying like one dead on the .floor of my room. How long I had been there she could not tell. She bad not called me at tea-time, because she thought I went out with Lucy Currier, and had not returned. The doctor said I must be quiet." " The doctor ?"I repeated, wonderingly, staring absently in her face. " Yes, dear, the doctor—good doctor Owens; here he is, now," and she stepped aside that I migt see him. But I turned my bead away, murmuring= • " Walter, 'Walter I" . • • • ROEDER & LERCH. -tf IZEI ' ON'LV A'4oltE.

", Well, well, you needn't dear,. don't mind it," he said, soothingly, believing me " There, there." , , I sank wearily back upon my pillow, and as I did so I heard my mother whisper my name. I listened. attentively. "'Had we - bptter tehraph, to him ?" she said. . . There is no particular cause fotryour do ing so. • 'A letter sent by mail td-morrow morning will answer • as . well.

"He is married to some one else. 1 read it in to-day's paper," /said. " To-day's paper," repeated my mother. I "Yes, it is in my room ; go for it." The paper Was found, and the evidence of Walter's perfidy read by each member of the family, before themretehed truth could he realized; then a blank silence followed, and my mother came to my bedside and put her dear arms lovingly about me,, and; said, if all others failed, she would always reMain , true ; that she would rather suffer from his fickleness a thousand times over, rather than hear up under his znilt ; it was all for the best, even though my heart broke under the burden, which bore down upon it. How from my innocent soul I blessed that mother for the comforting words she spoke and while I nestled closely in her arms like a frightened grieved child and felt her warm tears upon my cheeks hor tender kijses upon my lips, through my sorrow a little vein of joy found its way, and I thanked God for my mother—for my moth - er's love. In a few days I was up and about the house. The pride that had been numbled by first shock of sorrow, took up life . again. and came, faithfully to my aid. I put a seal upon my lips. Upon theni should linger no regrets; play nomorus of passionate ten derness ; tarry no names which had once been uttered with so much of gladness, My heart should prison all of its griefs. Pride should be the stern sentinel which I would set to watch over it. Pride the.sex ton which would bury from the eyes of • the world my wee 3 ; the multitndti corpses of my once brilliant hopes. The world should have no tombstone to look upon, and say, that in such a place my dead heait was lying and I, and I only, must know the silent resting.place.' And thus the day wont on, till the time fixed for Walter's coming was at hand: The story of his marriage was spread.rapidly through the village. Evey gossip:tvas busy, with the rare piece of news. If I went out I was watched as egerly as though I .were a condemned criminal, or a wild ferocious animal, that was said upon some fatal mis chief. Some said that I was. heart-brok@ii others that I was nearly insane, .nnd others still I had fallen into a sort of stuper, from which I should never be roused; that in all human probability I phould Piro but a short time. God• knows I prayed' that the last might be so; that every day I 'neked- earn estly never to see light of another; that the bridal robes laid away so carefully. might be my shroud, at the time I .had . thought ,I. should become a blessed, happy, wife! The day on which. Walter was. to -,come dawned at last. I knew, Lexpected that it would be a wretched one. me, anal shuddered when its light bfblic olear"and rosilyin at my window. '0 1 . .144 everything mocked me that morninm b 'The' mist rose frame up like a ant breath from . the loivlands at the first warm kip of the sun, .and lay like a white mantle at the feetdof the sweet Green bills. The fields stretched away glir t ming iu the 'sunlight as.though their man , tles were studded with costly jewels ;and the birds:hymned out their praises, rich and. clear upon the morning air. In all this glo:( ry how wretchedly I cursed the' very fate that bade me look • upon. it,--live to, see it. I wandered out in the woods, where AS' silence grew more terrible than the busy; bustling sounds of human life. 'I went bank to the village again; wearily towards kome. I passed the station. A . train had just'eame in. I had promised' to meet Walt& 'there at that very hour. I turned back I k afw uOt why ; perhaps I thought to cheat myself for a moment into the belief thit I should meet him as I had promised ; that the past week was a myth, a dream. 'As I did so a well-known voice sounded upon my oar. I turned quickly around, the blood receding, rapidly from my brow cheek and lips.-- Meroyfull heavens ! \\raker Mayo was stand. ing directly before me, with a beautiful showily dressed woman leaning upon his arm !
