fERsoNAL APPEARANCR OF JRFFERgoN.,
The Hon. William Sullivan, of Boston
some years since published an interest
ing volume of."Familiar Letteis on pub
lie Characters" The work was prepar.
ed with great care, and the sketches were
faithful as they were beautiful In re
marking on the Declaration OF lndepend-
ence, and the author Of that memorable
document he thus describes its author
''When Mr.. Jefferson came to Phila-
delphia in March, 1897, he wss about fif>
ty four years Of age.--His personal ap.
pearance as now recollected was lhis:-
He was thin tall man, over six feet in
stature, neither full nor thin in body his
limbs were long aud loosely jointed, his
hair was of redish tinge, combed loose
ly over the forhead and al tho sides, and
tied behind; his complexion was light or
sandy; his forehead rather high and broad /;
his eye bruws long and straight; his eyes
blue, his cheek bones high, his face broad
beneath his eyes his chin long, and his
mouth large; his dress was black coat
and light under clothes. lie hadno pol
ish ofmanners, but simplicity and sobri.
ETY. of department he was quiet and un.
obirusive, and yet a stranger would per
ceivs that he was in the presence Of one
who was nota common man. His man
ner Of conversing was calm aud dsliber
ate, and free from all gesticulation; bu
he spoke like one who considered him
self entitled to Difference, and ss though
he measured what he sal d by some stan
dard Of self Complacency. The expires
sion Of his face was that of thoughtfulnes.
and observation, and certainly not that o
oPenness and frankness. When speak
ing he did not look at his auditor, bu
cast his eye towards the ceiling, or am
where but TO the eye of his auditor
He had already become a parsonage o
some distinction and an object ofcuriosi,
ty, tosa very young man."

INHss.-Henry Clay, in the conclusion,
of his remarks responsive to the peti.
ton presented 10 him at Richmond, In
diana, requesting him 10 emancpate his
slaves, gives Mr.. MendeRhall, who presen-
ted it. the following most excellent piece
OF advice
'Go home and min d your own buisi.
ness, and leave other people to take care
Of theirs. Limit your benevolent exer.
items to your own neighbsrhood. With
in that circle yeu will find ample scope
for the exercise Of all your charities.-
Dry up the tears Of the afflicted widows
around you; console and comfort the
helpless orphans: Clothe the naked, aud
feed and help the poor, black and white,
who need SuccOt; and you will be bet
ter and wiser man than you have this
day shown YOURSELF"
Mr.. Clay was then out upon an elec-
tionecfing tout through Ohio and Indian,
and why may not he take his own advice
and "gO home and mind his own buisi-
ReSs?"

Nov. Goth, A. D. 1912.

by ]. E. DOW.
Mother, how small you are
Your Island is but nest
kind of good old easy chair,
Where the rumblng gout may rest.
Yonrcliffs by the ocean sand,
Your battlements fret the sky,
But know you not Of that western land
Where the FREQ hearts never die!
Come sit OH my airy height,
And look at the hosts below, flight
Where tho mountains smile in the morning
Aud the dark old rivers flow
Away to the mighty west!
Where the hunter makes his bower,
Where the father of tompests take his rest,
And the trembling lightnlngs cover.
Tell notof your ancient might,
Nor boast ofyOur gallant dead;
A nation sits in its armor bright, T.
And laughs at your palsied tread.
Your bones on u thousand fields,
May bleach in noon,dly sun .-.
And soldie rs shake their blaz OnSd shields
On the plains Of Europe won. ....
I'll call to the crimson plains, e.
Where the pNtrist soldier rests,
And the walls shall echo u thousand strains
And the hillspu Ton their crests.
No Indian laurel blooms
O'er the graves of the pilgrim sires.
But thy land shall furnish thy soldiers tembs,
Or seats by ou rcuttage fires.
In peace she will greet thee kind
In war as her men Of old
But ere your battle Aagtants the wind,
Remember your Island bold.
A day! and land that dares,
To shackle peaceful world,
May fnd that the western str ipling bears
A flag that is never furl'd.
Then sleep, in thy dOatage, sleep,
Nor strive to molest the free,
The babe thou cast on the stormy dOep
May hallow grave for thee.
Then, mether, no longer foam,
But sport with you titled things,
And drink your porter and stay a, home,
To nouIlsh brood oil kings.
The days Of the oldon time,
And the deeds of the baron bold,
And tho curfew's knell al even time,
Arc Memories to be told.
The dark old age has flown,
And the foudal towers dec Hy--
And nought remains to support your throne
But debt you meier can pay.

Sherman's Cough Lozenges,
Are the safest, most sure and e6eetual remedy
for Coughs, Colds, ConsumptiOns, Whooping
Cough, Asthma, Tightness of the Lungs or
Chest, sc. &c. The proprietor has never known
an instance where they did not give perfect sat-
isfaction. Several thousand boxes have been
sold within the last year, restoring to health
persons in almost every stage of consumption,
and those laboring under fine most distressing
colds and coughs. They do not check and dry
up the cough, but render it easy, promote ex'
pectoration, a!ay the tickling or irritation, and
remove the proximate or exciting cause.
the Rev. DR.. Eastmond, Of New York, gave
few to lady, friend of his, who had been
given up by her physician and friends as in the
last stage of consumption. The first Lozenge
gave her considerable relief, so that she was en-
couragedt to peIsevere in their use; and through
the blessings of God they restored her to perfect
health. .-
Mr.. G. T. Matthews, 8 Caroline ST., suffered
year with a hard, tight cough, pain in the side,
splitting of blood, and all the usual symptoms of
consumption. The Lozenges relieved him i'm
mediately, and in a few weeks restored him to
perfect health. He says they are the greatest
cough medicine in the world.
Over 1900 persons have given their names
within the last year as a reference of the Won
derful virtues of these Cough Lozenges. They
cure all recent cases in few hours, seldom re-
quiring more than one day to entirely eradicate
the most distressing Ones

infallabe; the only certain worm-destroy-
ing medicine ever discovered. Many diseases
arise from worms and occasion long and intense
suffering and even de ath, without their ever be-
ing suspected grown persons are very often
afflicted with them, and are doctored for vari-
Gus complaints, without any benefit; when one

them.

sOmetimesa troublesome cough, feverishness,
thirst, pallid hue, fits, bad taste in the mouth,
difficult breathing, pain in the stomach and
bowels, fatigue, nausea. squeamshness, vora-
cious appetite, leanness, blot ted stomach or
limbs, gripping, sh ooting pains in vatious parts
of the body, a sense of sometime rising in
the throat, itching of the anus towards night,
frequent desire to pass something from the
bowels, and sometimes discharges of slime and
mucus.
DIR. Galen Hunter, I08 Sixth Av., knew
child that was cured of fits by these Lozenges
after three years suffering,and when nothing else
would give the least relief. He has used them
in his practice for the last two years in sew
eral hundred cases, and always with success,
A boy on board ofon of the Havre Packet was
cured ofhts by only one dose of them.

this, that the psople should read and see f)r

SO that they may not be compelled to rely up
on rumor, or be deceived by misrepresentation.
That many people are in the habit Of looking to
Government for more than government is able
to give, no rejecting man of either party, can
longer doubt, but 1t is nevertheless important
that the people should be well informed of what
public men do, or Of their reasons for not doing
what may be expected of them. Let no demo-
crat, at least, fail to exert himself to spread
Truth and intelligence by every means in his
power, for it is upon these he alone can rely
