at this time to express my appreciation, and to
recommend to the attention of heads of families and
others your invaluable medcine-the Compound
Syrup Of Frunus Virgniana or Wild Cherry Bark.
In nay travels of late, have seen, IN great many
instances the wonderful effects of your medicine in
relieving children Of very obstinate complaints such
as Coughing Wheeling, Choking of Phlegm, Asth-
matte attacks, &C., SC. should not have written
this letter. however, at present although have felt
il nv duty to add my testimony to it for some time,
had ii not been for late instance where the medi-
cine above alluded TO was instrumental ia restoring
10 perfect health an "only child" whose case was
almost hopeless, in family of my acquaintance 81
thank Heaven" said the doatlng mother, "my child
is saved from the jaws Of DEATH" and now say and
believe that beyond all doubt, DR. Swayne's Com
pound Syrup Of Wild Cherry is the most valuable
medicine in this or any other country am certain
Ihaye witnessed more than one hundred cases where
it has been attended with complete success. 1 am
using it myself in an obstinate attack of Bronchitis in
which it proved efectual in exceedingly short
time considering the severity of the case / can re-
commend it in the fullest confidence Of its superior
virtues; would advise that no family should be
without it it is very pleasant and always beneficial
worth DOUBLE and often ten times its price The
public are assured there is quackery about it.

SPIRITED ELOPEMENT,

small town in Massachusetts was gu e

marrIage-lhe "well-oh" belle of The
nelghborhood to a wealthy gentleman
from a distance, much her senior. There
were rumors that the lady's will had been
over-l ruled by parental suason and au-
lhorily, but as she went about to her last
maiden day making arrangements very
smlingIy, no one felt much sympathy in
the sacrifice. There was "wheel with
III Wheel" however, which must be ex-
planned by taking The reader al once into
the udy's confidence. She had formed
all acquaintance, during the summer, with
a yOung gentleman from Southern clty,
who, She thought, would have proposed
to her but from some such obstacle as dis
trust of his worldly means. A week be-
fore the wedding day, she suddenly took
courage, and determined al least to give
him chance before throwing herself
away to please her parents. She wrote
to hun that if he would be at a certain
railway station on a certain day, she
would meet and accompany him 10

life Or his. lie was there. She was
there. They went on twenty miles by
the train, and met the other bridegroom

veil protected the fugitive.-She and her
lover reached the city, were married, and
went shopping and sightseeing like other
people. The ady's fortune is in her OWN
right, moderate but sufficient.
