THIS pleasant and' certain cure for coughs and
colds goes ahead of all the preparations now or
ever offered to the public! The use of it is so great that
the proprietor has some difficulty iu keeping a supply
for the increasing demand. Medical agencies, groce
ries, druggists. coffee btises, and even bars on steam
boats, keep a supplyon hand. It is called for every
where, and will sell in any place. The reason is this
every one who has a cough ors* by eating a few sticks
find themselves cored, as it vine, by magic. Persons
at a distance, by remitting the. money, post paid, to the
subscriber, will be attended to. For sale by the single
stick, 6 cents; five stick sfor2s cents; and at wholesale
by NV's. Tuorts, Druggist, 53, Market street, whete a

8T MRS. AD T.
(drocluded.)
Two years elapsed before I fell in love again. Emily'
:Brooks, was, like my first luve. en orphan, but shower,
three and twenty,iwd emancipated from.tbe control of'
guardians; her *tune was ten thousand pounds, luta
sh- resided with a family of friends in a amity town,
where I first became acquainted with her while stay
ing on a visit in the neighborhood. She receiverl•my
attentions favorably, Mr. and Mrs. Williamson, her
friends, had fortunately no unmarried son; and although
the young doctor of the town was evidently muds
smiuen with herself or her ten tho usand pounds, sire
decidedly gave the preference to me.
I was suddenly called eta° London on business:
but promised to return inm:fuglaright... I felt anxious
to write to Emily, but**.eft she would deem it a
liberty; fortunately, howeve4 was * subscriber to
a public charity, and I reeved tp write to her toll°.
licit het vote for a protege of my friend George Gor
don's. I bought some beautiful French paper, and a
box of silver wafers for the put pose; took a newly-made ,
pen, and achieved a much more decently written let- •
ter than usual.—Before I put it in the post resolved
to call on Emily's uncle, Mr. Drewett,silrealthy mer
chant in the city with whom I had somonespaintanct.
I met him, however, in St Paul's COnrohYard, i he
stopped and accosted me i,. a ft ry friesellmnanner,.
and was evidently in high spirits... .
~ . -
Mr Drterrett was of those men who seem _born to
luck; he had a handsome wife. 'pretty children, pleas- „.
ant friends, and a flourishing business; he 10.1 only •
ono ungratified wish, and this he for years .'
sense enough to bury in his bosom,and never nmealedl -
it to any one until the time if its fulfilment. Thar
time had now come,—Mr Drewett was a baronet;
and when he info-toed me of his new honors, 1 was
q uite delighted to think that 1 should be able to send
the news to Emily, who was much attached tober un
de. Before I reached home, I met at least a down .
people, all of wliom had seen tke baront that morning,
and been infurmed by him of hiadignitiesmnd, with the
exception of a few snerastic inuendoes reepecting!`the
restless ambigon of some people," they really bear the
good fortune of a neighbor.
, I found that I was later than I imagined, andliindi
, scarcely time tortve the post, consequently I only adl
ded in a.postsenpt—"huve you heard of the..baronet
cy of your uncle Drentul it has created quite a senses
tion in the city;" and remembering George Gutdotr's
remark that it was impossible to distinguish my a's.
from my ti's I took especial care, for the first time in
my life, that the a following the I) in baronetcy, should.
be exceedingly distinct and clear.
,I will now, as I did on a reverter occasion, aaptaihe'
, my reader immediately with the circumstances that
only crime to my own knowledge at a subsequent pe
riod. Emily received and reed my communicatiorn e

—Whet was the. honor of Emily to read• an inqpiryr
whether she had heard of the bonkrwptey .if her uncle'
Diewett ! She gave „me loud shriek which bi ought the
whole house to her assistance, and then went into
violent hysterics. Lest Emily's sensibility should be
thought by my readers to be rather greater than the cc
cnsinn demanded, 1 will explain to them the reason
which made bee peculiarly sensitive in regard to the
commereini prosperity of her uncle. When she came
Of ago she took possession of her property of ten thou
.sand pounds, bet oil consulting Mr Drewett about the
permanent investment ofit,.he advised' her to entrust
it with him to employ in hisbusiness. promising to pay
her much better interest than she would get in the
funds; the ruin of her tn.cle, therefore, involved her
own. Mrs Williamson called fur burned feathers,
hartsitern, and eau de cologne, sent for the young doe-.-
tor,and then took up the letter, no doubt imputing the
hystelies of her young friend to diseppointment in
love. She found. however, that the ease was much
worse than she had surmisdd; Emily had confided to
her (and through her means the whole town had be
come aware of it,) that she had placed her fortune in
the hands Giber uncle, and when the poor gill revived
to consciousness. she found her affectiumue friend sit- •
ting by her with the letter in her hand, and kindly ad
vising her. "not to give away so, but to remember that
she had received an excelleatedue.ation, and that it was ,
no disgrace to any body torten their maintenance!"
Just then the youngdoctor hastened into Jtbe room on
the wings of love, basing preferred trussirigtohil , own
speed, rather than wait till an elderlyaerheezing. rag
ged-looking horse, that cuuld not walk half so fast as
himself, was harnessed to his gig. He entered the
-room while Mrs. SN'illiamsen was expressing berfears
-,t'ist Mr Drewett must have been very speculative and
improvident. and a few questions put him in possession
of !he feet s of the case.
"Miss Brooks. mast not agitate herself," he said
"nothing is so bad for this-health as depression of the
spirits."
Mt s W Miamian . rtioined that it ens extremely
wrong in any one utin,rifer their seirits to be depressed,
reletted some sWOlll6ll' erre' the cheerfulness with which
the French eminiantshore their nii..fornmeii, and in
!danced the _esireor a fuSeiniating countess in pertiete
lar, who hattbeen reduced from a magnificent chateau
at Versailhm, to live upon fifteen poonds a year in an
attic, in.St Miirtin's Lane, and was alloys the life of
every society in w bleb , she snored! ..:
Just then the young anew jumped :op; vehemently •
Mesa his-forehead, and dectarerkbefitad that moment
maneathered that ars Gondwih, who lilted five miles
fl, and was the most anxious nervous mother in the
world, had feared the day before that her s ix c hildren
were sickening with scarlatina, and. no dualat r -was ac

Brooks was doing so exceedingly well, he must run

Loot Emily was completely overcorett by the cool
ness and none/to/once of her friends, who, shbousit
born and bred in a little third-ratio country town,
hibited, it must be admitted, all the worldliness of St.
James's; she requested that-a. post-chaise might. be
