Harsrhil, (JNass.) .4ug. II, 1921.

This is tocertify, that |, the Subscrib-
er, had been afflicted with the Asthma for TWEEN
ty years, and the paroxysms were often SO vio-
lent as nearly to deprive me of breath. During
one OF the Most violent returns of the Asthma,
was advised to try Anderson's Cough Drops,
and | did 50 and, to my surprises was very
soon entirely relieved, and felt no more of the
Asthma for six months. Upon return of a
paroxysm Of the Asthma, | have made use of
the same Medicine, and it has invariably given
me relief. As it respects the Asthma, and its
attendant symptoms, difficulty of breathing,
sc. consider Anderson's Cough Drops rem
edy, IN praise Of @lieh toO-rauch cannot be said.
i further certify, that my son-in-law had for
some time beon supposed to be past recovery
of Consumptive complaint, when | advised
him to make a trial of Anderson's Cough Drops,
and from the use of them, he has so far recov-
cred his health as to be again able to attend to
his business. JOHN LYSCOM, Surgeon.

Sterling Land for Sale.
.HE Subscriber owns a Farm

THE Subscriber owns a Farm
IL in the Town of Sterling, in this Coun-
ty, consisting of 440 acres of Land, lying to.
gether. One half of this Tract is covered with
Wood, and the other half is Improved Land
The principal part of the cleared halfis excel
lent Grazing and Grass Land, with some Land
well adaptedto Grain. The present owner is
unwilling to monopolize the good Land of Ster-
ling; especially as his other avocatons villa
not permit him to carry on so large Farm adj
vantageously, either to himself or to the Land.
He offers, therefore, to sell two or three hun
dred acres, including about al. equal quantity
OF Wood and Cleared Land, in lots to suit
purchasers.
If any person, whose exclusive occu-
patton is farming, wishes 10 procure, for a small
sum of money, large tract of Land, capa-
bic OF being rendered doubly and even treb-
ly valuable, by little good husbandry-a
Farm, the single article G. growing Wood on
which, would bring in the market more than
the price of the Farm and the Buildings on
which cost more than half the money the Sub
scriber asks for the whele-a tract of Land,
situated in place where Produce of all kinds
is at least 90 per cent. higher than at the
Courthouse in Worcester; lying within
miles Of the street in Worcester, where the
contemplated Canal from Worcester to Provi-
dence is to commence; and within miles OF
two fourishing manufacturing establishments
such person will probably find no more
advantageous purchase in the Commonwealth
than this Farm; the whole Of which together,
including the Buildings, the Subscriber will
sell for $14 an acre, and give a reasonable
payday for part of the purchase money, or the
whole, as the purchaser may wish.--The
Buildings on the Farm are two Dwelling.Iou-
ses-three Barns-two large Sheds, fitted for
conveniently keeping large flock of Sheep;
besides other Out Buldings.--Form more par
ticular information, application may be made
to the Subscriber, in Worcester, or to JOHN H.
STRATToN, ON the premises.
JOHN w. HUBBARD.
Worcester, Oct. 80, 1922.
IY The Subscriber has sold
several parcels Of his Land, in Sterling. The
principal Buildings, with Land enough for two
good Farms, are still unsold. This remainder
will be divided, or sold together, as may best
suit purchasers.

POETRY.

THE RETRosPECT;

HE hG hO0I ~ L
Or the advantages ETA well spent youth Illustrated
IT'S joy when from that height sublime
Mans noon of life--the hill of time
We take retrospective view,
Adown the vale we've travelled through
Our sight in pensive mood reposes,
On groves and meads adorned with roses;
Throughout the path which we assembled,
We see the rose and lilly blended;
No Aow'rets crush'd beneath our tread
No cheek from whence the rose hath fled,
BY us despoil'd Whose joys departed,
In sorrow wrap't and broken hearted.
This-this is Joy IT'S JOY supreme,
Ecstatic bliss, heavenly theme,
To dwell on youthful days and years,
Untinged with crime, unsoiPd with tears
Of conscious guilt to see our youth,
The path of innocence and truth.
lfheayen to man bliss hath given,
'Tis this this is the boon of Heaven.
For 10 we also must descend
LIES hill adown our course we bend;
And all the pleasant groves and flowers
Pastures of JOY, and fields ofHowers-
Youths many verdant meads and groves,
Grottos of pleasure, bowers of love-
Will. if pursued in the ascending.
Be found our downward course attending.
Then when we reach the vale of years,
With peaceful eyes undimn'd with tears,
We calmly view in yonder mead,
The silent city of the dead -
With pleasure we its mansions view,
Enter, and become tenant too.
