Messrs. x. Lee 81 Soa,

In December last l was attacked with a
most violent cold, severe cough and pains
in the breast. which continued to grow worse,
during which time my appetite failed, and
my voice altered SO much, that it was with
the utmost exertionI could pronounce sin
gle sentence louder than shy breath Some
of my friends having observed to me, that
much good had been done by the use of Lee's
Ehrir, advised me to procure a bottle from
Messrs Warner and Hanna, which accord
ingly did-and to those persons ,unacquaint-
ed with the merits of this medicine, it will
appear astonishing that three doses should
remove the pains in my breast. and the use
of the one bottle restored me to PERFEL I

LEES ELIXIR /! !.

A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate,
"A coughs, catarrhs, asthmas, sore Threats
and approaching consumptions. A single
trial oil this medicine will prove its efticacious
quality in restoring perspiration common to
healthy people; it dislodges and expels the
tough yiscid phlegm or musus, strengthening
the weakened vessels of the lungs, thus strlk-
ing at the root of the disorder, the symptoms
of course are eFectually and permanently
conquered. The great number ofcures per-
formed in 1908 by this elegant and useful pre-
paration, is sufficient to astonish and convince
those that labor under colds, coughs, consump-
tons, &c. of being inamediately relieved, with
out saying any thing of the many thousands
benefited in former years however for the
information of those persons, if any there De,
that have not heard of the balsamic qualities
of Lees Elixir, VIC give the names OF the toll
lowing persons who are we'll known to our CT
tisens in general as persons of known intesri-
ty and strict veracity. From the following
certificates it will plainly appear, that three
years consumption, common cold or cough,
are all with ease removed by Lees Elixir.

Il beautiful Thought.

Some few years ago, several persons OF
distinction went to visit the school for the
education of deaf and dumb children at Pa
ris. under the direction of a celebrated alb
be, for the purpose of Witnessing the pro-
gress they had made in learning. One OF
the bows being asked what was the mean
ing of the word gratitude, he immediately
took pen and wrote" THE MEMORY OF
THE HEART
Remarkable epitaph on tombstone at A6er-
coaa1uaH, Garnarvonshlre:
"Hefe lieth the body OF Nicholas Hookes,
of Conway, gent. who was the one-and-
fortieth child Of his father, William HoUkes,
esq. by Alice, his wife, and the father of
seven and-twenty children. He died the
goth March, 1857"
BRUCE, bic Abyssian traveller, whilst
accompanying caravan In which there
were the natives of 80 different nations bor-
dering on Ethiopia, procured translation
of part of Solomon's songs, from each Ian
puage he observed striking similarity in
many parts of the translations, particularly
in the word answering to kiss" which
was the same in them in all. Having men
toned this to certain bonny Duchess,
(Gordon) she archly retorted, | always
told you Mr.. Bruce, that kissing is the
same all the world over"

Sleep on, sweet Babe thy Fathers near

Yet he will watch, that naught comes near
Yes, Love he'll watch * toll fer thee.
SONG,
Tune The last time came Ger the moor.
Oh, Mary, lay those frowns aside,
Ye ken they Gamma please me;
It hurt me, sair, to hear We chide,
Then why sac aften tease me!
These rosy cheeks, that bonny mouth,
And a. that fouth O. beauty,
Believe me, lass, Ispeak the truth,
Were made for sweeter duty.
The birds were made to soar tnro air,
WI songs their care begulling;
To please the sight the lilly fair,
And Mary's lips for smiling.
Then, why distort that bonnie face!
To charm by heav'n intended,
Where ilka beauty, ilka grace,
We see sac sweetly blended.
Tir'd WI the cauld return for love,
With which We sac perpiex nae,
vow, by a the powers above,
Ye never MAR shall vex me.
Sic naughty words as these | SAID,
When last WI you parted;
But by those cen Pm perjured made,
And still am broken hearted.
Iftime, that sour auld canker'd carl,
Should once become your teacher,
Tho ye're the vale o a the warl,
fear he'll prove nae fletcher.

But shewby your conserving,

Than be the next repentlng.

Whatever may be the Instructions Of Mr..
Jackson, Il is hoped that his mission may
terminate amicabiy. Il is certainly for the
beni6s of both countries that peace should
be the result of his labors. AS to the idea
that the gentleman has come hither to bully
us, we have more respectable opinion OF
our country, and of the character of his un-
Outstanding, than to suppose any such
thing. A British feet may batter Copen-
hagen indeed, an1 thereby PROSTATE the
Danes; but as to compelling their country
to Weld to dishonorable terms by lombard
ing city or two, il is mere fantastlcal
conceit. Men of reflection smile at the no.
ton of subduing continent with floating
artillery. Whatever nation would conquer
us, must came ashore and, in case OF war,
the coming on shore is all an American
need ask of his enemy to insure his destruc-
ton.
But we see no real cause why G. Britain
should attempt any thing of the kind our
administration appears willing to come to
terms !; Mr.. Madison does not seem to en-
terrain hostile ,dispo.';ion towards the
English, and it must, as things go at pre-
sent, be the fault Of the latter If an adjust
ment of differences does not take place. On
the whole, we are of opinion that it would
be more advantageous to the British nation
to be on good terms with America than to
irritate her by acts from which England
finally derives no benefit.
