TRIBUTE OF PRAISE.

The following interesting incident at the close of funeral sermon, delivered by the Rev. MT. Oliver, after the death of the Rev. Adam Gibb of Edinburgh, in the Church of the deccased, is related in the last Reformed Dutch Chuch Magazine. --PhiLadelphia.
 "When he had finished the sermon, he was proceeding to pronounce his character and eulogy. He made long pause. He attempted to speak what he had prepared: but the venerable grey-haired pastor was unable to utter word. He covered his face with his hands, and wept with his weeping audience. He dried up his tears, and once more raised himself up to pro- nounce the euogy. Again his voice was stiffled. He bowed down and wept for several minutes. A third time the aged pastor of Linlithgow attempted to pay the last tribute to one whom he loved as his own soul. But he burst again into tears, & wept aloud. The whole audience melted into tears aud the most of them sobbed and wept. And after long silence, inter- rupted by sighs and groans,the clerk named the 18th verse of the 1I9th Psalm, Scottish version.) !" Dear in Gods sight is his saints death, &c. And the mournful mel ody of "Old Martyrs" foated from the lips of two thousand weeping people. It was without atfectation, and without design. And it was one ofthe most touching, and eloquent perorations, perhaps, which ever closed funeral sermon over departed pei ty and worth."

NEW OERTIFICAEHs,

Dr. MELLEN, Sir-the cause of humanity demands of me to. give the following state ment: My wife had for six years been in decline and pronounced by her Physicians to be in consumptive state, and was attended by severe pain in her side, with Cough B. difficulty of breathing. She was reduced SO low as to be unable to get from her bed to the had long been given up. In this situation, was prevailed upon, as last possible resort, yet without any hopes of success, to make use of" Anderson's Cough Drops" She com nenced the use of them in February last and after using two bottles, to the astonishment of al in the month of May following the health of my wife was entirely restored, and since which, her health and strength were perhaps never better. Feeling deep interest that the public in general may resort to the same remedy, when their friends and relatives are apparently. or evidently on the brink of the grave, to rescue them from from the same. You are at liberty to publish the above.
 am respectfully, &c.
 JAMES H. STYLES. Rhiaebeck, Dutchess co. (N Y.) Nov. 8. 1926. This is to certify that the subscriber was brought very low by splitting blood, attended with cough and catarrh, and that nothing afforded me real relief until com menced ta- NnS 1A"ucISo" , Oouen DFOpS, tne use Ot which were the means in the hand of God of restoring me again to comfortable state of health.
 And do further certify that the wife of MT. Nathan Huntington, living in the same place was afflicted with very bad cough for a num- ber of years, and that in 1923 She was redu~ ced so low that it was thought she must soon be in her grave, as she was scarcely able to walk from her bed to the fire, when she com menced taking Andersen's Cough Drops, the use of which, in short time so far restored her, that she was soon able to do good days work can cheerfully recommend this med- icine to the public.

Travelling beagars.-Every one knows the evil of supporting these nuisances upon the ommunity in strolling idleness, yet no one interferes to check its prevalence, or expose the glpri ing impositions which are daily practised. A short time ago, one of these vagabonds called at this office 1; his countenance was strongly marked with intemperance, and his scarified nose and bruise swollen eyes, gave signs of his recent carousal he said his name was Christian Hynes, and exhibited paper stating that he had been burnt out some- where at the west, with Mr.. Westford to certify the fact; to which was added the names of several reverend gentlemen in in the city of New York, written with a pencil, and apparently by the same hand 5 but this was teo evident an imposition to escape detection. We might mention a number ofinstances more, with which no doubt some of our readers are acquainted, would exceedingly darken the hue of hu- man depravity.
 Under this head it may be we'll to men, ton, that company ofill-favoured stroll- ing wretches, from '15 to 20 in number, men, women and children miserably cov- cred with remnants of blankets, quilts, and cast-off clothes, passed through this village on Wednesday of last week, and en- camped on the turnpike near Sparta The children were despatched to solicit money, &c. in the neighborho od--with which gallon of whiskey was purchased for the company. On being questioned, a young female said, they aoere moOing from Delhi to NeaO Virginia. The next morn- ing some of the women were scarcely able to walk from the effect of the nights de- bapch; but with the help of their half starved nag and crazy vehicle, Ia sort of apology for waggon) they pursued their journey. Good ribdance.

7He forgiUing boy.-In a school at Youghal, an instance lately occurred, in the masters accidental absence, ofono boy being provoked to strike another. On hearing the complaint, the master deter mined on punishing the culprit, when the aggrieved boy entreated pardon for the offender. On being asked why he inter- posed to prevent so just punishment, he saidAf was reading in the New esta- ment lately, that Jesus Christ said we should forgive our enemies, and I wish to forgive him, that he may not be punished for my sake" This Christian plea was too powerful to be resisted. The offend CT was pardoned, and the parents of the poor boy were highly pleased at the cir cumstancc. r

finding some excuse to put them off; but the urgent importantly of the children at last overcame her, and she not only con- sented to hear them saytheir prayers but as if convinced, by their example, of her own improper conduct, in neglecting du- ty so important, she knelt down and pray ed for herself also, and continued to pray with the children every night-though, as the little creatures remarked, they had never seen her do such thing before.

 lmposter.-One day last week, person called on the editor of this paper, who had his right arm amputated at the shoulder, and solicited charity, as an unfortunate disabled member of the profession.-Said his name was Clark-that his parents re- sided in Burlington in this state-that he served his apprenticeship with MT. Hill, of Concord, N. H--that he lost his arm in December last, in Lancaster, Penn. by a swelling-that through the assistance of the Typographical Society of Philadel- phia, he obtained passage to Portsmouth N. H. from whence he travelled on foot, 'subsisting on the charity of the community and was making his way to his parents. He received his mite of charity, and de- parted, with many professions of thank fitness. Visiting the town, in an opposite direction from that which he manifested so much anxiety to reach, as the residence of his parents, who should we meet, in merchants store, but this poor unfortunate, and pretended disciple of Faust. On ac- costing him and observing, that he must have lost his way, he coolly observed, that :" he supposed he knew where he was," and immediately took himself off. We have since learned, that his stories rela- tive to himself are various, suited to the occasion-that at other places in the vil- lage he pretended to have been lieuten- ant in the battle Of Plattsblrgh, where he lost his arm, &c. He is evidently an im- poster and though unfortunate in the loss of a limb, is unworthy the charity of the community. inasmuch, as we have good evidence to- believe, it is sought mainly to gratity thirst for spirituous liquors. We feel it duty to give this informa- ton that the charitable in this vicinity, and the profession in particular, may not again be imposed on by his appeals to their sympathy and charity.
