public health, and suspension to tlit. "purse. Why
is it that these medicines are taken repeatedly by the
sick without removing, the complaint in' question?
The reason is plain and simple, viz: Because they
are, composed chiefly :of opium and spiritual
preparations which acts on the systeM as a powerful
stimulating anodyne, and by using repeatedly, the
system becomes habituated to its narcotic influence,
as of those Who are given to iiitemperiince.
This fact has bedtime apparent' to thousands who
have experienced the fatal effects of such medicines,
and commenced using Dr. Duncan'. Expectorant
Remedy, which is entirely frep from opium and all
othar poisonous ingredients, and is used with perfect
safety by all under any circumstances:, It iminedi-*
ately relieves the distressing 'conh—strengthens and
invigorate 9 the nervous system, causing,.the settled
,contagious matter to leave its bold from tile lungs
and be discharged from the power of expectoration.
Unless this is age, the lungs will soon become con
taminated from noxious matter, and ulcerate, and
fall a prey to the fatal worm Consumption.

THE CAUSE OP CONSUMPTIONe—SimpIe
as these coraplaintaifre usually considered, no one
can' deny their being the most common cause of this
fatal and distressing diSease.lt is indeed a melat
e.holy truth, that thousands fai ir
l victims to Consump.
tion evdry year from no other cause than neglected
colds. Yet we find hundreds, nay thousands who
treat such complaintS with the greatest indifference,
and let them run on for weeks and even months with
out thinking of the danger. At first you have what
you may consider a slight cough or cold; you allow
business, pleasu r,p or carelessness to preventyou from
giving it any attention; it then settles upon your
breast, you become hoarse, have pains it, the side or
chest, expectorate Jorge quantities of-matter, per
haps mixed with blood, a difficulty of breathing en
sues, and then you find,your own foolish neglect has
brought on this distressing complaint. If then you
value life or health, be warned in time, and don't
trifle with your COLD, or trust to any quack nostrum
to cure you, but immediately procure a bottle or two
of tlniC famous remedy, the "BALSAM. OF WILD
CHERRY," which is well known to be the most speedy
cure ever known, as thousands will testify whose
lives have been saved by it.
Crlle very particular when you purchase to ask.

MOTHERS, BE ON YOUR GUARD.—This
is the season wheiftlffs - destructive complaint attacks
your interesting little children, often robs you of
those you fondly doat Gn,and carries hundreds to the
grave. Eve y• mother should therefore, know its
sytnptomsTiatelt them elOsely, and always be pre
pared with a remedy to cure it; as many are daily
sacrificed by such neglect. At first the little patient
is seized with a.sluvering; it grows restless, has
flushes of heat, the eyes become red and swollen, it
breaths with: ditficulty,and then comes that fearful
cotton that will surely terminate in convulsions or
death unless something . is Immediately given to
check it. Iniltiticoroplaint the " Balsam bf
Cherry,". is well known to be the most speeily cure
ever discovered. It is indeed is precious remedy—
mild, safe 'and innocent, and is Sure to give the little
sufferer immediate relief, and quickly restore it to
safety and health. Families mauling io the country
and indeed every mother who loves her children,
should always keep this medicine in' the house and
give it to th.ere early, by 'doing 'so ylni may.: often
save. the,life of one you
.fondly love, Remember
this is the famous remedy of this distiguished

is, that • Arniud,--you . remember Arnaud,
Henri ?" •

"Well, it was but last fall that he be

.grew more partieular, till at last—"
"Mother say not that Justine loves him,
for he---he never loved any. but himself,
entralthough he be' Ut_ealthy - ---'.'
"Alack ! wealthy he is not, forlde vine
yards were slighte - Al7'.„said the old wo
man; "but Jtistineleoked not for wealth."
"Andlf she looked for .worth, she found.
it not;" cried Henri indignantly.
"It is but too true," replied the- dame,
"Justine read not in his beaming eyes a
mean and selfish heart! She listened
_and

The old woman's tears fell - fast as she
spoke ; , btit Henri, overpowered by the
suddenness and.. variety of--his emotions,
was scarcely sad, though silent. At length
Justine returned, so pale, yet ~, serene, that
hut for.what 1 . - liad heard, i' shOrdd have
imputed her sweet gravity to a natural se
,dateness.ulone. But for Henri the, board
was spread in vain.. He.started'up..--... •
"Yon will lint ' leave -us to night !" said
the old widow:
4 .q.have not yet seen
. my parents ! Fare=
well, mother—fare Well, dear Justine !"
She turned not away from his - offered sa
lute; she even pressed his hand; but it was
a sisterly pressure only, in which no warm
or 'feeling had. place. I saw by his counte
nance that he was aware of this, and that it
,added to the .fpeed with which he left the
cottage.
. My repast gitded,.l retired -to-a small but
exquisitely neat chamber on the lower floor
of the cottage, the window of which look
ed towards the' river.-' But s'eep like a
false friend, fled at my greatest need ! My
mind, excited by the unmerited misfortune
of One whom I had seen but to admire, held
me as though spell-hound to the lattice;the
view from whence of the beautiful valley
sleeping in the pare moonlight, was far
more attractive than . - a eltnileiless - couch.
In this contemplative-mood, nme.stole away
unnoted, -- w hen I was startled by hearing
the door of the auberge gently opened, and
some one issue forth. : I' looked anxiously
from the casement: it was Justine herself,
gliding - like a spirit towards that stream on
which I had ife'en gazing. Good Heaven !
what could be her purpose? WaS it pos
sible that the story of her undeserved aban
donment had wrought in - liar fevered brain
a vision of self-destruction?---the thought
was horrible! 'W . itheut a Moments• hesi
tation I sprang - 'through the window, and
holding. my course in shadow, tracked her
steps towards the cottage of'Arnand.
It stood on the very margin of thel river.

streogihenearful
conjeCtur-; . and Lad
vaneed unperceived 'so near , as to strew!)
forth my arm, in the intensity 'of my feel
ings, to arrest her seeming:purpose. But
how had my suspicions wronged this noble
inioded, fldivi - ntomparable7girll—Ar--the
moment when my,heart- fluttered at 'every
motion; I beheld. her sink upon her knees,
and clasping her white hands in au attitude
of supplication, lilt her sweet eyes to Heav
en, as if to invoke'a blessing on that union .
which had marred her, fairest hopes. I
saw her lips move: . and tho!"the .accents
.reache4me not, the intelligence and ex
pression of that:angel countenimee, 'could
net be mistaken. It was •a. study for a=
painter, if intleedthe art of man could ,depict

raised that wild cry of dread, almost' Of

ed *to tranquilize the feelings of the ago
niied p'arent. ' The") , Mingled their, tears
awhile, and then, 1 will hOpe, slept; if Uot,
theittrief at least was 'silent.
I' rose early in the morning, but Justine
had. been long up, and busied in. her domes

not.a breeze' hid yuffled the calm current
of—her peaceful nriind. Tc - v'have atternpte

and an unabated interest in the fortunes
Justine attracted_m steps once More to the
little auberge , which- through every after
scene had still been p‘resent . to mTmemory.
I was received• with the grateful smiles that
seldom fail; among these simple-minded
people, to repay any - expression of attach

was still' pale; but the, recovered cheerful

1 had taken my breakfa . st, and was
wait
ing for my horse, when passing up and'
down the piazza, 1 saw a young girl seated
near the window, evidently a visiter. She
.was very pretty, with auburn hair and blue-i
eyes, and was dressed in white. I had seen I
nothing of the kind since I had left 'Rich
riiond, and at that time 1 was too much of ;
a boy not to be struck by female beatrty - .,
She was Co delicate and dainty looking, so
different from the hale, buxom, brown girl
of the woods—and then. her white dress !
It was dazzling! Never was a poor youth
so taken by surprise, and — suiddenly bewitch
ed._ My heart . yearned to knew her, but
'how was Lto accost her? I had grown
wild in the' woods, and had none of the
habitudes of polite life. Had she .been-
like Peggy Pugh, or Sally Pigham, or ally
;of my leather dressed benefit& the pigeon
roost, I should, have approached her 'with
out dread; nay, had she been as fair as
Shurt's,daughters with tbeir looking-glass
lockets, I should not haVe heiitated ; but
that white dress,•and those auburn ringlets
and-blue ; eyes, and delicate looks quite
daunted while they fascinatCd mev--- I don't
know what put it into my head, but I
thought I would kiss her ! It would take
long acquaintance to avrive at such a'
boon, but I might, seize upon it by sheer
robbery. .'No body knew Me here. • I
would just step in and snatch, a kiss, mount
my horse- . and ride off. She would not be-
the worse for and that : kiss—oh,
sh.ould -die if I did. - not get it.
I gave. no time ,fo.r the thought to -cool - ,
but entered the house and stepped lightly
-into the room. She was seated with — her'
. back to the door, looking out of the window
and did not hear my approach. I tapped
her. chair , and she--turned--and - looked - u
p.-
snatched as sweet akin as ever vas stole,
and vanished in a twinkling. The next
moment I was on horseback galloping hothe
ward,. my .heart tingling • at, 'what I had
done.

The public room was thronged with all the

on such occasions. There waisome drinlti

him down ; and kicked him into the street.-
I needed no better introduction. .1 had half • '
