Pink ExpectOrant syrup.

An agreeable Cordial, and Effective Remedy for
COUGHS, HOARSENESS, COLDS, PAIN
IN THE BREAST, INFLUENZA, HARD
BREA1 THING, and DIFFICULT EXPEC-
TORATTON.
For Adults and Children in cold climates and ,carn,
1t has remained to late day to discover an
article so admirably fitted to these complaints; so
powerful and efectual, and yet so perfectly inno-
cent and mild.
Let not the public class the scientific result of
a learned Physician and Divine with the nos
trums of the day. Let them make careful peru
sal of the evidences attending this article; their
responsibility. and the decided manner in which
they speak, and they cannot withhold their belief
to some Of its virtues. Let assure them that
single trial of it will do more to convince all of
its merits than all they see or hear on the
subject. 1t is quite certain that injury has
ever been known to arise from its free use.
AN UNCOMMON fact is, that this remedy is a
syrup, palatabe and pleasant to the taste as
the most popular French cordas, and children
take it always with the greatest readiness.

The moon is sailing DER the sky,
But lonely all as If she pinned
For somewhat Of companionship,
And felt it was in vain she shined.
Earth is her mirror, and the stars
Are as court above her throne;
She is beauty and queen
But what OF thst?-she is alone.
Is there not one-not one 10 share
Thy glorious majesty on high?
cannot choose but pity thee,
Thou lovely orphan Of the sky.
I'd rather be the mesnest flower
That grows my mother earth, on thee,
So there were others Of my kin
To blossom, bloom, droop. die with me.
Earth hath its sorrows-grief and DEATH
But these far better could bear,

Il am greatly obliged to you for your

keep it until it is paid for"
We urged her 10 take it, but she refused.
sayng-"I will see what can do, and call
in day or two and see you" and bidding
US good evening she left US.
There is something very mysterious
about this woman, thought we. 1t may be
that she is poor, and perhaps in very dest.
tute circumstances. But she shows an
excellent heart, and the warmest attach.
ment to a deceased mother. Her educa-
ton must have been good, and she has evi-
IDENTIFY seen better days. And we thought
The next time she called upon US, we would
ascertain something more of her character
and circumstances--perhap her name
which we felt deeply anxious to learn.
In a day or two the young woman called
upon us again, and with tears in her eyes
remarked--"I don't know what YOU will
think of me, but all the money have in
the world is five dollars: this | have
brought you towards the bureau you were
5" kind as to purchase for me-" So saying
she placed the money before us in silver.
81 shall not take the money at present"
we remarked IL can do without it. You
may take the bureau if you want it; and
when you are able at some future time,
you may pay me for it,"
She expressed great deal Of gratitude.
and said, Il would rather you should take
what | have" and nothing that we could
say would induce her to take the money
again.
"You appear to have seen some afflic-
her eyes.
Not much. sir, Unjust confess that have
not always been as poor as am at present.
for | have seen better days. When my
parents were living, | never knew what it
was to want for any thing; now l cannot
say So"
How long have your parents been
dead!'
about six years since, my father died;
and it was four years ago last Saturday
when my mother was buried"
At mention of her mothers name the
tears came fast to her eyes-a tender
chord was touched-we saw it and made
no more inquries-when she took her
leave.
1t was nearly six weeks before we saw
the young lady again. She then called
upon US with the remainder of the money
that we had paid for the bureau.
We protested against receiving it at that
time, thinking it might have been inconve-
nient for her to pay it; but she insisted
that we should have it, saying-"I am under
great Obligations to you for your kindness.
Had it not been for you | should not have
the bureau--the only relic of my mother;
for it was then impossible for me to raise
the amountyou so generously paid. shall
never forget your kindness"
"Do you wish to take the bureau away

call here in a short time and have it re.

will be glad to get rid of it,"
mot at all. ! am pleased that was
instrumental of little service to you, and
if ever you need assistance, shall always
be ready to render it,"
Il thank you, sir. with all my heart"
: At this moment the man came for the
bureau, and bidding US good evening, the
young lady left our room.

Two dollars and fifty cents, we bid, as
we saw it was the very same bureau that
we had bought several years before for
ten and half dollars, and the bureau was
knocked off TO US.
This is singular enough, thought we, as
we had the article carried to our room.
Where is the young woman who formerly
owned it!--Who was she!
We made several inquiries, but could
not ascertain who she was or what had
become of her. The bureau had been
carried to the auction room by an individ-
ual whom Mr.. Bailey never saw before, and
all our inquiries to ascertain what became
of the young lady seemed fruitless.
Several months passed by, and still we
heard nothing of the young lady, when
