From the Pittsburgh Journal
Mr. Bxansat :—Dear :—Some months Sines
I found this little fugitive in a Boston paper,
written, as you will perceive, by our towns
woman, Mrs. Arnie Wade. I have since found it
copied into a Philadelphia paper, and it seems to
me to be worthy an insertion in some one of our
own journals. Will you read it, and if worthy
a place in your excellent paper, give it one. To
me it is poetry, and I should be gratified to see it
re-published. Respectfully, MARY.
Invocation.
EY WILD FLOWER
Oh Time, press lightly on my brow,
Pray let tby touch be gentle now,
Though to thy sceptre I must bow.
Oh Time, press lightly on,my brow—
For every path I tread in life,
With happiness and joy is rife.
In years to come, to thee bow,
But oh, , I pray, touch lightly now.
The world to me is full of joy,
Life's petty. cares do not annoy ;
Its mental pleasures never oloy,
To me pure gold without alloy.
I dearly love this beauteous earth,
Its flowers, its sunlight, and its mirth;
So Time, press lightly on my brow,
In years to come, to thee I'll bow.
Now youthful hearts dwell in my home,
Light as the blue : waves*rested foam; .
The stall of dove lights up its dome,
And from it I would never roam,
Not e'en to dwell 'neath orient skies,
Till death shall sever home's loved`ties;
Bo Time, press lightly onmy brow,
In years to come, to thee I'll bow.
From infant lips with winning word,
With cadence sweet as thrilling bird,
By whioh the heart's deep love is stirred,
My name, "dear mother," oft is heard;
That name, of all, to us moat dear,
BO full of hope, of love, and cheer;
Bo Time, press lightly on my brow,
fn year's to come, to thee Pll bow.
Now I would sing sweet songs of mirth,
When gathered round home's pleasant hearth;
Make it the brightest spot on earth,
To them, through life, a memory worth
Fat more than. Ophir's sparkling gems,
Thanyegal orowes ottliadems ;
Bo Time, press lightly on my brow,
in years to come to thee I'll bow..,
lintshonld the thorns of life appear,
And ()lends betoken tempests near
Death rob , of, loved ones now so dear,
And friendship cold make earth NAM drear,
And hope withdraw the diamond light
Which makes my path in life so bright;
Then Time, to thee I'll gladly bow,
And kiss the kind that mars my brow,

The issues of the Messrs. Harper during the ;
preient Winter, have been more than ordinarily•
important and valuable in their character. It
is a remarkable fact that all eminent mission
aries, when they become authors, take a high
place as writers. As witnesses of this fact, we
might cite Williams, Livingstone, Heber, Marty%
Moffat, and others ; and now, in this goodly vol
ume we have another illustration, in addition to
the one which the world possessed in his charm
ing Polynesian Researches. There is a halo of in
terest around Madagascar, to which the eyes of
Christians have long been directed. The condi
tion of semi-civilization which exists in tlit
island ; the progress of Christianity during the
reign of the sovereign who , preceded the present
Queen, and her savage and relentless efforts to
eradicate every vestige of the Gospel ; the con
stancy of those martyrs who in'such" wondrous
numbers sealed their testimony to the faith with
their blood ; the undying state of ,Christian truth
in the island, and the hbpee and prospects of the
people of God in reference to 'the futhre ; the re
lations of the inhabitants to England and France,
and the danger that the efforts of the Propa
ganda might result in an unscrupulous seizure of
the island for Papal Purposes, similar to the
aggressions which in the reign of Louis Philippe
were successfully made ba Tahiti—all unite in
retudering the present and the future of that im
portant island an object of momentous import
ance.
Mr. Ellis' book i is without doubt one of the
most delightful reaords of travel whioh we have
ever seen. It is replete with information on
natural historY, climate, tropical productions,
religious customs, Jangaage, and all matters
which the inhabitants of a Northern clime would
desire to know respecting the people of Mada -

that he has to say in a manner, the most clear,

~a style that

It is no slight commendation Of this book to
say that it,is all that it professes to be, while it
possesses a merit seldom found. in books which
' are written by agriculturists or gardeners. We
mean, that clearness of description and accuracy
of statement which enables the reader , to under
stand the author's meaning, even before reference
is made to the places and illustrations. this
respect, .this volume is a model of compoiltion.
It possesses another excellence, of no mean order.
It is, a happy Medium between the almost useless.

Many of our readers will be delighted to learn
that this book of English origin at a time:when
Scriptural richness was more common in sermons
and theological treatises than in our own days,
has been republished in a style so neat, and at
an expense -so small. Objections have been urged
against some -of the author's views; and when
taken out of their proper connexions, there, may
be room for doubting some of his positions.

pith; point, and power, that will improve both
the head and the heart of the reader, and that
will greatly aid the preacher insetting forth the

his disposition, admired and loved by all who
knew him, and crowning all by an unblemished
and consistent Christian character. He lost his
life stthe taking of Canton, , in the 37th year of

These Meditations ore based upon the t:acts of the
history of Lazarus, Martha, and Mary, as they
are recorded in the Gospels, and are both highly

Sketch of the Life of John Watson
Hughes.
John Watson Hughes was born November
18th ? .1836, at Mogodore, O. ,He was the
son of Rev. John D. and Lydia Hughes.
His mother, who was a daughter of Abram
and Martha. Dehaven, of ..Springfield 0.,
and a woman of high Christian - character,
died when he was only twelve days old.
In helpless childhood, he' was kindly cared
for—first, by his ; mother's, and afterwards
by his father's kindred. From infancy, he
was the subject of earnest prayer by a large
circle of Christian friends, When he was
two years and a half old, he found in his
father's ocoond wife one who loved and
cared for him with as much tenderness as a
mother could have done. He cordially re
ciprocated her affection, and even up to
'manhood,. often spoke of her, to Ids friends
with grateful emotions and warm-hearted.
regard.
In the various stages of his education, he
was habitually prompt and careful to be
ready with his recitations. From the vil
lage school to the Theological Seminary, he
enjoyed the affectionate regard of his in
structors and fellow.students. At the age
of thirteen he had acquired a good common
school education, and had made, under the
supervision of his father, some progressin the
Latin language. He then entered Vermil
lion Institute, at Haysville, Ohio. Here
he remained three years, taking a high stand
in his classes. In the Fall of 1853, he
entered the Sophomore Class in Washington
College, Pa., where he graduated in Jurie,
1856, sharing the highest honor of his
class. His mind was quick and ardent, and
his fine 'taste, extensive information, and,
more than all, his warm hearted cheerful
tiele,`, won the admiiation and frieridship of a
wide circle• in the College and town of
Washington:
" During his whole College course,"
writes the pastor of the church at Wash
ington, " besides being an excellent student,
in every way, he was occasionally the sub
ject of pungent religious feeling, as the
Professor and myself had the best reason
to know. The first outbreak of the re
vival which pervaded the Church and
'College in the Spring of 1856, found his
heart ready to receive the gracious influences
which came down so copiously, in answer to
the prayers of God's people. After a severe
conflict, he, was led to oast himself at the
feet of Christ, where the light of peace first
broke into his agonized soul. Subsequent
self-ekaminations, and the discoveries of the
remains of sin in his heart, several times
led him into distressing doubts and fears

respecting his spiritual state ; but these
painful experiences brought him to the
Cross in renewed consecration, and were
thereby greatly blessed in deepening the
work of the Spirit already begun. He be
came, thenceforth, a fine example of Chris
tian devotedness. To great warmth of
affection and uprightness of character, grace
added the charm of a Christ-like loveliness.
llis conduct was marked by a quick.sighted
conscientiousness, and his aims for the future
were moulded into the image of the spirit
of Jesus."
On the 6th of April,lBs6, he was re
ceived into the church of Washington, Pa.,
along with sixtynine others, as the first
fruits of the revival. From this time he
had a desire to serve his Master, •in the
ministry. His youth, his brief experience
in the Christian life, and a deep sense of his
unfitness for the work, gave him much
anxiety as to the propriety of entering at
once on the study of theology. He yielded,
however, to the advice of his friends, and to
the "still, ;small voice," whioh came to the
ear of his soul, in the wrestling of his elOset.
Those only, who were in his confidence,
know the , struggles of. heart, which resulted
in his coming at once from College to the
Seminary. Duty once made plain, he
swerved not from his purpose. He had a
deep feeling of his own incompetency for
the work. .Of this he often spoke to his
intimate friends; yet, with Unfaltering trast
in the strength of, his Redeemer, he hor
fully, joyfully pressed forward.
In September, 1856; he was taken under,
the care of the Wooster Presbytery, and,
about the same time, entered the Western
Theological,Seminary. In November,,lBsB,
he was transferred ,to the Presbytery of
Western. Reserve.. 'His examinations and
parts of, trial_ for licenanre, had been chiefly
performed and cordially approved, and it
was expected that he would receive limn
sure at the next meeting of his Presbytery-
It could not . be, said of him that he was
a hard student;,for his quick, searching
mind grasped the objects of his investiga
tions with an ease that often puzzled his
more plodding companions. His generous,
open-hearted manliness, gained the esteem
of all, who lrnew him; but he waa especiallY
endeared 'to those, who enjoyed' his confi•
denim and best knew his heart. The teach
ers and seholars of his Sunday.. School will
not soon forget him. His talents ' scholar
ship, and earnest piety, gave high promise
of usefulness in, the Church; but death
came in an unexpected hour; the hopes of
usefulness in the ministry, which his friends
had long 'cherished, were brushed, and the
Church mourns for him, taken when just
equipped for. the great battle. He died on
the - first of 'March, 1859, after only two
hours' sickness. Ten 'more weeks would
have completed his course of preparation
for the ministry • that ,course Which he had
followed for king years, through difficulties
and trials, whose bitterness few have tasted.
For..some days before his death, it was
noticed thathe seldom offered a' prayer, in
public, without pleading with the Lord of
the harvest to send more laborers into the
whitened field. The last prayer he was ever
heard to utter contained an w i riest petition
for his beloved Washington College, that it
might send forth more men for the service
of Christ. And now he, just about to en
ter the - ranks 'of the ministry, has- fallen,
and still the cry comes from our own broad
land, irom all the wide world, with its teem
ing millions, for men, more men, "to stand
in the breaches of Zion." Not to that Col
lege alone, for which especially the prayers
It Hughes went up, does this cry come;
not, even to all our Colleges and Academies
alone does it come, but young men who are
strong,, and in whom abideth the word of
God, iikether in legislative halls, at the bar,
in the tesAlmr's chair, behind the merchant's
desk, or folkiwing the plow, must answer it.
For some. months, our beloved brother
had been earnsOy examining the question
of Foreign Mitskions. . After much prayer
and frequent consultation with the Profes
sors of the Seminqy and his friends, he had
determined to offe-,himself for the work.
His strong attach Mint to his numberless
friends, his love for .tll that makes home
I and society attractive to, the Christian, and
the peculiar obligations which he felt him
self under to his parents, made this decision
peculiarly trying in his ease. But. louder
I than all the claims of friendship, and home,
I and country ; louder even than the cry for
laborers in our own land, wvl "the call of
1 seven hundred millions of heathen;" and
he stood up, when hope spikrkled in his
bright eye and the vigor of youth nerved
his limbs, and said, " Here am %, send me."
"His purpose, instead of its execution, was
accepted, that he might soonerass to his
reward." But who will lift t . he fallen
standard ? One , herald of the I cross has
fallen, and still those " seven hundred mil.
lions " are treading the way to death. Who
will go? How will the young men, who
profess to. follow Jesus, in our SeOinaries,
our Colleges, our Academies, throughout all
our favored land, answer it now ? gow will
they render account for their answers in

For a nuraber of years, delicate health prevented her from

DR. CITURCHILL'S DISCOVERY!
Winchester's Genuine Preparation of Dr. J. F.
Churchill's Compound of the
HYP'OPHOSPHITES
OF LIME, SODA, AM) POTASH.
A SPECIPIE HESSEDY PM THE THEATRE= OP
CONStiMPTION.
The great Chemicohledical Discovery of the celebrated
Dr. d. F. Churchill, of Paris, first made known by him to
the French Academy of Medicine about two years ago,
marks a new and important Era in the annals of Medical
Science.
Now, for the first time in the history of the world, has a
REMEDY been found that surely strikes at the very founda
tion of Pulmonary. Disease,, and, by restoring the deficient
chemical elements of the blood, increases the principle
which constitutes nervous or vital force, invigorates the
nutritive functions, and thus net only otters, but also PRE , .
veers, the development of this hitherto most fatal Scourge
of the hamen race.
__ 04177'10N TO THE PUBLIC. '6)%
Various preparations are already in the . market, purport
ing to be based on Dr. ChurchilPs discovery against which
we solemnly caution both the prnfession and the public.
To remove all doubts in regard to the chemical purity of
my preparation of itypophosphltes, I beg the attention of
the public and the profession to the following
TESTIMONY OF DR. CliwroN
"I have carefully analyzed samples df the Ifypophosphites
of Limo, Soda, and Potash from which Mr. J. Winchester
manufactures. Dr. Churchill's. Compound Solution of the
Dypophosphites, and find them to be properly made and
chemically pure. Having had many opportunities of test
ing the uniform parity of the articles which he uses in
compounding this new remedy for consumption, and having
a personal ,knowledge of his honesty and integrity, I feel
that I can assure the Profession and the Public that this
Preparation of the Hypophosphites can be relied on.
" dams it. CEUTTON, M.D., Chemist.
"New York, February 8,1858."
And now, to further caution the public againet impure
and unreliable preparations claiming to be founded on. Dr.
Churchilre discovery, I quote au extract from a letter pub
lished by him, dated the Zitti of April, 1868:
TESTIMONY OF DR. CHURCHILL
"To be used with effeot, the Hypophosphites must beper
fectly pare; otherwise they may, in some cases, appear alto-
Sether inert , or even injurious. In five cases oatof six, the
alts nasally sold as pure in Paris, under the name of
Ifypophosphites are totally unfit for Medical use. * *
I use no other treatment of any kind, unless required
by the existence of complications, such as intercurrent in
flammatign of the lunge, diarrhea, cardiac disease, ac."
The use of the Hypephosphes shows these preparations to
have a two-fold and specific action, .0n the one hand,---they
increaselhd principle, whatever that may be, which mast'
lutes nervrus fetal; and, on the other, they are the.must
powerful blood generating agents, thr superior to any hith

The physiological effects of their use are shown by an in
crease of nervous power, sometimes even front the first day
of their administration, together with an unusual feeling
of comfort and strength. The appetite increases, often in
an extraordinary manner. The evacuations become more
regular and more abundant the perapirationa, if any have
existed, cease, sleep becomes calm and profound. All the

SPECIFICS FOR CONSUMPTION.
SYRUP OF THE RYPoPHOSPRi7RS
•
Composed of the Hypophosphites of Lime,
Soda, Potassa, and Iron.
Theme remedies were brought to notice by Dr. John
Francis Churchill, an eminent physician of Dublin, and
have attracted much attention from Ihemedical profession.
To give a general idea of their action, we make the follow
ing extracts from Dr. Churchill's Parer " On the Proximate
Cause and Specific Remedy of Tuherculc eft," reed before
the Academy of Medicine, Paris; July, 1857. Says Dr. C.:—
" The total number of cases of Phthieth treated by me
amounts to thirty-five. All Were either in the second or
third stages of the complaint; that is, they had either
softened tubercles or cavities in the lungs of te e se, rd."
recovered completely, the physical signs of the disease die
appearine altogether in eight out of that number; eleven
improved considerably, and fourteen died. 'The results
will be found to justify the following conclusions:
"The proximate cause, or at all events an essential con
dition of the tubercular diathesis, is the decrease in the
system of the phosphorus which it contains in an oxygeni
zable state.
" The speeifie remedy of the disease amide in the use of
a preparation of phosphorus, uniting the two eneditions,
being in such a state that it may be directly assimilated,
and at the same time at the lowest possible degree of oxy
dation. '
" The effects of these halts upon the tubercular diathesis
is immediate ; all the general symptoms of the disease di'-
sprearing wits a rapidity which is really marvelous. If
the pathological deposit produced by the dyacracy is of re
cent formation, if softening has only just set in, and does
not promo dtee rapidly, the tubercles are rembsorbed and
disappear. When the softening has attained a certain de
gree, it sometimes tontinues in epite of the treatment; and
the issue of the disease then depends upon an anatomical
condition of the local lesion, on its extent, and upon the
existence or nonexistence of complications. I have made
numerous attempts to modify the local condition of the
lungs by the inhalation of different substances, but have
never obtained any satisfactory result independent of what
was to he attributed to the specific treatment. The Hypo
phospletem are certain prophylactics against tubercular
disease.
" The physiological effects show these preparations to
have a two-fold action ; on the one hand they increase the
principle, whatever that may be, which constitutes ner
vous forte, and on the other, they elevate the tone of the
several functions concerned in alimentation and nutrition.
They seem to possess, in the highest degree, all the there
political properties formerly attributed by different ob.
servers to phosphorus itself, without any of the danger
which attends the use of that substance. The different
preparations of Hypophosphorus Acid will undoubtedly
occupy one of the most. important places in the Miami's,
Medics."'
The success of this treatment being so mach in advance
of anything before attained in the management of this
heretofore almost incurable disease, rails for a thorough
testing of these remedies. With this view, thecombinution
here offered in the form of Syrup has been made.
The beneficial effects of these Salts are not limited to
Consumption alone; they are appropriate remedies in a
large class of affections resulting from lops of nervous
force, Dyspepsia, Scrofula. debilitated conditions of Females,
lack of vital action in Children, and where the osseous
system is defective. Understanding the chemical nature
Of these Salts, physicians will bo enabled to use them in a
large class of diseases where they seem to be indicated.
We have every advantage is mannfacturieg these arts'
ties. The Dry salts we have been engaged in manufac
turing largely since they were first brought to notice, and
we know them to be strictly reliable. The Syrup is a com
bination of the Salts, containing a little over dye grains to
the teaspoonful, and is the most pleasant torte for taking
them.
The large demand roc this article has induced us to fix it
as low as a reasonable profit will permit. We pack it with
care, so that it will go safely, and all orders will receive
prompt attention. Price for four ounce bodies, SO cents;

CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
LIVER PILLS.
WE beg leave to roll the atten
tion' of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Br. Chas. ['bane's Celebratid
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz.:
THE VERMIYUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK
HEAD-ACHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to-or after taking Qui
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material,"arid com
