RICHARD THoMPsoN's LIFE PREsERvER

Is found IN practice TO cure
Coughs, Colds, RheumdtiSnl, Group, Hh0op-
ing-cough, Hemorrhage, and Splitting Blood.
WAsmNGToN March 6, IS4l.
DEAR SIR: Upon your renewed request cannot,
with Justice any longer withhold from you my certi-
icae of confidence in the efficacy of the Life Pre-
server, as a cure for hoarseness and cough.
In the fall Of 1910 was much exposed to night
air and often took cold, which attended by
hoarseness and slight cough, without fever or much
other indisposition In December | was scarcely ev-
free from this complaint and during the early part
of the next February was never without some de-
gree Of hoarseness cough until despairing Of the
suiiicency Of Pease's Hoarhound Candy and COM
remedies, | was induced to make a trial of your
Life Preserver. Before the middle of March last,
the use of your medicine seemed to be the great
cause Of relief from the hoarseness and slight cough
which had long annoyed me, and which all the
Usual remedies had failed to remove.
If any one be led to make the experiment, as |
did happily, of the offered good, he will at least
find IN il pleasant and harmless physic as saD be
administered in the mode pres rbed by you.
am, very respectfully yours,
JOHN LEEDS KERR.

into the Philadelphia Journa---and the bachelor

inconrinenIly burst forth in the following rhap-
sody:

Dow, 5r.

In Dow's last sermon we find the following
rich morsel:
'Man looks upon life just as he does upon
The women-ihere is no living with them, and
he can live without them. He will run after
them--and rather than be held, he will loose
his coat tail and character-kisses them for
love, and kicks them for leading him into trou-
BILE. So with life, | say-he parlakes of its
pleasures and then damns it for its paIns--ga-
theirs boquels Of bliss, and when their blossoms
have faded, he finds himself in possession of a
bunch of briars-which is alluding TO a lille in
cidenl that occurred in Paradise when man was
as green as a tobacco worm, and as unsuspi-
ciOus as Tree toad in thunder Storm He
was then TO increase and multiply, and so ac-
cordingly he increased his cares and curses.
multiplied his miseries and peopled the world
with parcel of candidates for perdilion-,and
am one OF them"

OUR COUNTRY.

BY B. F. ROMAINE.
OuR Country is a noble name,
Our glory and our pride,
Our watchword to immortal fame,
Amid life's ocean tide;
And when upon the stormy wave
Our bark was tempest-driven,
There was an arm to shield the brave
Who put their trust in Heaven.
Our Country--in my childhood's days
That name was dear to me,
When on the plain, sweet freedoms lays
Came swelling wild and Free
And told of bloody, deadly strife
For priceless liberty,
When breast to breast, each gave his lie
To die, or else be free.
Our Country-in thy darkest hour,
When every light had fled,
And we were sinking meath the power
That laid US with the dead,
A light appeared, which shone from far
AS if in mercy given,
To cheer US ONT was the star
Of hope--bright hope from Heaven.
Our Country--may the flag long wave
In beauty DER each head
A clear memenIo of the brave
Who're lying with the dead;
And NAV those stars of oIory SET
Amid its blended dies,
Shine on our hills and vallies yet,
As gems that stud the skies!

First let honesty and industry be thy con-

A Game Of Brag with n Sequel

The Wheeling Gazette has re-vamped an old
yarn which was published years ago. As 1t is
capital story, however, we will give II place
merely remarking that the "clerk' mentioned
was no less parsonage than "Old Poins."
"a clerk left New Orleans for FilIsburg with
100000 belonging 10 one of the banks. A
gang OF sharPers found it out, and determined
TO pluck HIM; for which purpose they took pas
sage on the same boat. Before they had pro-
ceeded far, cards were introduced, and The clerk
joined them in game of 'brag' For the pur
pose Of drawing him on he was allowed TO win
considerable sum, and then came the time for
The big rush. Accordingly The 'hands' were
dealt out, and two bullets and braqoer' given
To the boss gambler and the clerk, the former
having The age They both bet largely, until
at length the gambler believing he had all his
competitors money up, saw his last bet, and
went him five thousand dollars better. He was
correct in his supposiiions---ihe clerk said his
pile was up, and asked for sight The gam
bier refused TO grant it, and after some expOslu-
laIion sung out empharicaIly-
Il 90 you five thousand better and give YOU
five minutes TO raise the money
The clerk spent three Of the minutes in en-
deavoring 10 persuade the gambler to SHOW
but finding all his efforts in vain, slowly arose
from The table, unlocked his trunk, and returned
with the package of money entrusted 10 his care.
You will not give me sight for my money!
said the clerk
No, SIR replied the gambler, Il went five
thousand dollars better, aud gave you five min-
utes TO raise the money---but one minute Of the
time remains
Then, sir exclaimed the clerk, throwing
his package upon the table, Il see your five
thousand and go you ninery-fve thousand dol
lars better, and give you foe minutes to raise
the money in'
The pile was TOO big the gamblers left the
table precipiialely. At the first stopping place
they left the boat, and returned 10 New Orleans
perfectly used up.Cresoent
