Received from an old, respected, and well-known
citizen of 1'hiladelphia, and then judge lor your

llavins heen reijested to give my opinion on the
merits of Mc.Alistuis talve I am willing to enumer
ate some of I he benelils which 1 have experienced
in the use of the article.
In the spring of 1x45, 1 had an attack ol T.rysipe
as in my face w hich became very painful, and ex
lended into our of my eves, being attended with
lever, my dis'ress was great and I became to be
luarful of losing my rye.
Although tint much a believer in what is terms
ed quack medicines. I purchased a box and made
application to my face. To my surprise the paid
soon abated and in a week's lime 1 was entirely
cured, and I tirmly believe it was the talve under
Providence that cuied me.
From that time to the present I have used the
nrlicle as occasion required, and in everv case
where I have used it 1 Ion ml a derided benefit.
At one time in K.ning to bed at night, my threat
was so sore that 1 swallowed with dillictilly, but
by an application of the salve I was relieved bolniv
Morning. I have used it in rases ol burns, In niscss
I sprains and flesh-cuts all with the hai,iet ellects,
and nne rase of poisoning by a wild vine in the
Uvoods has been dried up and cured by a lew appli
Cations. From my own experience I would s! rough roc
omended it to all. as a cheap.conveniont medicine.
, Jf requires no preparation other than to rub it on
the allliiied part. I have heroine so pai ti.d to it
that I expect to keep it constantly in my family.
Though not ambitious to appear in piint, yet I
cannot refuse to have this communication made

Teachers who have examined this woik since

what is very much wanted at this tune in our

that those Primary Hooks now in use areeilhei

by the pupil. The calculation aie in "our cm -leticy,"

acquired from the larger volume.
The key embraces several hundred examples

What need of all this I'liss anil strife,
F.ach warring with his brother .
Why should we, in the crowd of life,
Keep trampling down each o(h i
Is there no goal that can be won,
Without a squeeze to gain it ?
No other way of getting on,
lint scrambling to obtain it ?
Oh, fellow-men, here wisdom, then,
In friendly warning call
"Your claim divide, ihe world is wide
There's room enough for all."
What if the swarthy peasant find
No field for honest labor :
He need not idly slop behind,
To (hrusl aside his neighbor
There is a land with sunny skies,
Where gold for toil is given,
Where every hiawiiy band lhat tries
lis strength can grasp a living.
Oh, fellow men, remember then,
Whatever chance heiall,
The world is wide where those abitle,
There's room enough for all.
From poisoned air yt breathe in courts,
And typhus tainted allevs.
Go forth and dwell where health resorts,
In fertile hills and valleys,
Where every arm lhat deals a hough
Finds plenty in attendance.
Up, leave your loathsome cities, now,
And toil for independence,
Oh, haslen, then, from leveled den,
And lodging cramped and small ;
The wm Id is wide in land beside,
There's room enough fur all.
In this fair region far away,
Will labor find employment
A fair day's work, a lair day's pay,
And toil will earn enjoyment.
What need, then, of this daily sliife,
Where each wars with his brothel .'
W hy need we, through the crowd of life
Keep trampling down each clhei
From rags and crime, that distant clime
Will fne the p.,y.'s thrall j
Take foi tunc' tide the world so wide

I will only mention one thing in cminex-
ion with this party, and that because I think
it sealed my fate. A song was called for
by the company, ami a class mate of mine,
whose lyrical and musical talent was equal
to any I ever heard, answered it with one
of his own productions.
The heart, oh ! who can tell the change

A youthful lriet.it in ai;e is strange,
And joys now turn lo woes !
Ji.it there is truth within the heart,
And u licit- jis pulses movi)

Oh trust ibal bean's pine love !
