troubled with bad cough, great difficulty of
breathing, occasional pain in the side, great de.
bllity, attended with bad digestion and the expec-
toration of much thick matter ] consulted
three distinguished physicians, and made use OF
Anderson's Cough Drops, the Indian Specific,

Certificate Of Frederick S. Warner, ESQ.
The subscriber is induced from public consid.
erations, to recommend the Vegetable Pulmona-
ry Basam, as remedy of the greatest efficacy
IN diseases of the lungs, being probably indebted
TO its use for the preservation of his own life.
In the fall and winter of 1925 6; j was attacked
with disease of the lungs which threatened to
be OF the most serious character. 1t was attend-
ed with very troublesome cough. particularly
in the evening and night, with oppression and
Inflammation OF the lungs, gradually followed by
great emaciation and prostralion OF strength
These symptoms continued for about nine
months, in spite OF the efforts of the most skilful
physicians to check their progress. AT this time
fortunately met with the Vegetable Pulmonary
Balsam, by the use of which a speedy and COM
plete recovery was effected. My health is now
as good as ever II was.
FREDERICK S. WARNER.
Augusta, (Geo) Sept. 81, 1897.
An eminent physician of New Hampshire
writes" am satisfied the Vegetable Pulmo-
nary Balsam is valuable medicine. II has late.
ly been used with complete success in a severe
lung complaint, attended with the raising of much
blood. which had resisted every other prescrip.
The wife ola Clergyman Of Boston was consid.
cred past recovering from disease of the lungs,
in the spring of 1898, whose restoration to health
was ascribed, both by her physician, and by her
husband, to the use of the Vegetable Pulmonary
Balsam.

nation and taste, in the capacity of enjoy
ing works Of genius, in large views of hui
man nature, in the moral sciences, in the
application of analysis and generalization
to the human mind and to society, and in
original conceptions on the great subjects
which have absorbed the most glorious
understandings. The office of a great
general does not differ widely from that
of great mechanician, whose business it
is to frame new combinations of physical
forces, to adapt them to new circumstan-
ces, and to remove new distractions.
Accordingly great generals, away from
the camp, are commonly no greater men
than the mechanician taken from his work
shop. In conversation they are often
dull. Works of profound thinking on
general and great topicks they cannot
comprehend. The conqueror of Napoleon,
the hero of Waterloo, undoubtedly pos
sesses great military talents; but we have
never heard Of his eloquence in the senate,
or of his sagacity in the cabinet; and we
venture to say, that he will leave the world
without adding one new thought on the
great themes on which the genius of phi
losophy has meditated for ages.

ney, and without friends. He proceeded
without any delay to London, where he
expected to find an immediate welcome
and home among the relations whose
wealth and virtues his grandfather had
extolled SO much. He fell in with an
honest Irishman whose plight SO nearly
resembled his own that a mutual attach
ment arose between them as soon as they
came in contact with each other. They
travelled together to London, taking turns
IN begging their way. Eager to find out
his rich relations, Ledyard no sooner saw
the family name on carriage than he
inquired of the coachman where the own
er lived, was informed he was a rich
merchant, and went Immediately to his
house. Finding the occupant absent, he
told his story to his son, who gave but lit
tie credit to his representations, but urged
him to remain till the return of his father.
But Ledyard, angry at being even sus-
pected of dishonest intentions, ABRUPTLY
left the house, and from that moment de-
termined to prosecute no further his in
quiries after his family connexions. He
afterwards Indignantly refused assistance
from this same person.
Captain Cook was at this time making
preparations for his third voyage round
the world. Such an enterprise according
exactly with the genius of Ledyard, he con-
trived, first by enlisting into the marine SER
vice, and then by his address, to gain an
introduction to Captain Cook, whose conf
dence he soon gained, and was Immediately
taken into his service, as corporal Of ma
rines.

MILITARY GENIUS.

Military talent, even of the highest or
der is far from holding the first places
among intellectual endowments. 1t is
one Of the lower forms of genius, for it is
not conversant with the highest and rich
est objects of thought. We grant that a
mind which takes in wide country at a
glance, and understands almost by intui.
ton the positions it affords for successful
campaign, is a comprehensive and vlgour-
GUS one. The general who disposes ms
forces so as to counterfeit greater force
who supplies by skill, science, and genius
the want of numbers; who dives into the
counsels of his enemy, and who gives
unity, energy, and success to vast sphere
of operations, in the midst of casualties
and distractions which no wisdom could
foresee manifests great power. But still
the chief work of general is to apply
physical force; to remove physical OBJ.
structions to avail himself of physical
aids and advantages to act on matter
to overcome rivers, ramparts, mountains.
and human muscles; and these are moi
the highest objects of mind, nor do they
demand intelligence of the highest order
and accordingly nothing is more common
than to find men, eminent in this depart
ment. who are almost wholly wanting in
the noblest energies of the soul, in imagi-

MISCELLANEOUS.

The following testimony to American generosity
and feeling taken from pamphlet entitled
:" Remarks during residence from June 18th to
August 18th, 1920, at the Cape of Good Hope, BY
Thomas George Love-" published in Buenos
Ayres =
Foreigners of all nations are domesti-
Gated in Cape Town, Frenchmen, Ger
mans, Italians, &c. and even North Ameri-
cans. A gentleman of the latter country
land I regret that l cannot recollect his
nancy has gained much esteem from the
following occurrence. He commanded
an American privateer last war, Ct think
the Rambler) and made considerable
sum of money in captures from us. He
had taken British merchant vessel in
the latitude of the Cape, and went him
self in the boat to take possession. On
boarding, almost the first object that met
his eye was a beautiful woman in tears,
(the captains wife. A woman's tears
are more fatal than our swords" at least
the American seemed to feel something of
this. Addressing the afflicted lady, he
stated that he had only boarded to hear,
the news, and have the pleasure of a glass
of wine with the captain. He proceeded
to the cabin, and after the lady had retir-
ed, told her husband that although by the
laws of war, the vessel was made prize,
yet sight of so much distress would not
allow him to proceed to extremities.-
Taking pen, ink and paper, he made
over all claim on the vessel to the fair
creature that had so. interested him.
Shortly after this event the war closed,
and the privateer came into Table Bay.
The intelligence of his generosity had
preceded him, and upon passing British
frigate anchored in the Bay, the band, in
compliment, struck up the air of " Yankee
Doodle" Privateersmen are generally
reputed to be so hard hearted and mer-
cenary, that one would hardly believe this
detail. Yet it is well authenticated at the
Cape, and l feel the greatest pleasure in
relating it. I had the happiness of know
ing the individual whose conduct was at
once so delicate and humane"
The person of whom this honorable
anecdote is told, was Captain Ottawy
Burnes, of Bedford, North Carolina.

THE VALUE OF KNOWLEDGE.

Simonides the poet was remarkable fol
his assiduous application to gair knowl
edge, and circumstance in hit history
demonstrates that the wise mans riches
are lodged within himself. The better tc
support himself under his narrow circum.
stances, he went the tour of ASH, singing
from city to city the praises OF their he.
roes and great men, and receiving theil
rewards. Having atlength become wealthy
by this means, he determined to return to
his own country by sea, he being native
of the isle of Coos. Accordingly he went
on board vessel, which had not been
long on the voyage before terrible tenn
pest arose, and the ship was reduced to a
wreck in the midst of the sea. Upon this
some of the people packed up their treas
ures, others their most valuable merchan-
disc, and tied them around their bodies,
as the best means of supporting their fu-
ture existence, should they escape the
present danger. But amidst all their So
licitude, a certain inquisitive person, OBJ
serving Simonides quite inactive and seem
ingly unconcerned, asked him, "What !!
do you not look after your effects %" No, :"
replied the poet calmly, " all that is mine
is with me- Some few of the passen-
gers took to swimming among this num-
Der was our poet, who, with several 9TH
ers, got safe to land while others, wearied
and encumbered with the burdens about
them, persisted in the waves. to complete
the calamity of the survivors, some plum
derers came down to the coast and seized
all that they had saved from the wreck,
and then stripping them even of the
clothes which they wore, they left them
in that defenceless situation. The an
cient city of Clazomene happened to be
near at hand, to which the shipwrecked
people repaired. Here certain man of
letters, who had often read the verses of
Simonides, and was his great admirer,
though unknown, hearing him speak in
the market-place, enquired of him his
name, which he no sooner heard than he
gave him welcome reception at his own
house, and supplied him with clothes,
money, and servants to attend him, while
the rest of his companions were forced to
carry letter through this foreign city,
setting forth their case, and begging
bread. The next day Simonides met with
them in his walks, and thus addressed
them: "Did | not tell you, my friends,
that all which | had was with me but
you see that all which you could carry
away with you perished." Thus knowl-
edge Tor wisdom) is proved to be the most
durable possession, and the best security
amidst every want or trial.

rather amused than alarmed when some
awkward comrade goes right ashore Tor
