DEAR SIR-E cannot, refrain from writ
ing you al this time, TO inform you of the
daily increasing sale OF your valuable Linz
iment, have been engaged in selling
patent medicines for nine years, and have
sold many Liniments within the time, all
protesting to cure the same diseases whick
yours in reality does cure, bu! they per>
formed very few cures, consequently the
sale was very small. Your Liniment is
the article ADORE all others for what it is
designed. 1t has given perfect salisGac-
ton in every instance where ii has been
used, which cannot be said Of any other
medicine eXtant. | will give you a few
instances Of lis success. An elderly Lady
Of this own who has been troubled with
an affection of the Liver for fifteen gears,
has used it for two or three weeks; she in
forms me that she in now nearly well, and
thinks that a few more bottles of tbe Lini'
ment will perfect an entire cure.
Another case is Of a young man who
has been troubled with The same disease
for IS months. He has just commenced
the use oft, and before he had used one
bottle, his side, where he applied the Lin-
iment, became very red, and the morning.
that he made the last application of the first
bottle he threw up a great quantity of
matter, and found also that matter had
been thrown of through The pores of the
skin directly over the seat of The disease
Al first he was quite alarmed, and his IA
Their came TO ME to know whether | tho'I
II would answer 20 continue the use OF it
under those circumstances, told him
that it was just what the Liniment was de-
signed to co. as he shonld have known by
attentiveIy reading the paper accompany
ing each bottle. His fears al once van
ished, he took another bottle, and his son
is now c0nUalerent.
In numerous cases of obstinate RheN>
mat5sm, it has been equally successful.
MUETUM IN PARV0,
should be blown in the side OF every bot

account Of her whole course of instruction.
The importance of her case in a psyche
logical and moral point of view %justiies

persevere in the attempt to overcome all
The obstacles TO the full development: Of
her imprisoned soul. The account OF her
progress during the last year will there

the last three months, during which time
her apostle has become impaired, she has
lost some flesh, and has grown feeble. |

The danger of the grea, and continual
activity Of her brain and nervous system
has never been lost sight OF; and Constant
care has been taken to guard against its
evil effects, by exercise, and by amuse-

may be, that, 10 spite of our efforts, her
system has suffered from this cause.

SAeAcIry OF A CART HoRsr.-Dirert.

SAGAclTY OF A CART HoRsE.-Direct
ly opposite my residence a church is be-
ing erected, and during its progress TEN
porary sheds nave been puI up for the use
OF the workmen, and one as a stable Tor a
very fine cart horse, the property Of the
builder. The extreme docilRy OF this an.
lmal attracted my attention TO him, and
since that some OF his neuvre appear
10 me 10 border strongly on the sense and
powers of reflection. His stable was
erected at one end OF The church on one
occasion two poles had been fastened a.

strengthen the scaffolding he went up,
tried the strength of these first, then finding
that he could neither get over nor under,
he turned round, and, at full trot, made the
circui. OF the church, and got to the other
side of the poles by another path. Here
was no s,raying about, and at last finding
his way. bu. a fixed resolve to 60 round,
as if ar idea had at once flashed across
his mind. Another day, a wagon had
been put standing in The row path
of his road to the stable he looked and
tried each side, but found that there was
not space enough for him to pass he
took very litle time for consideration, but
put his breast against the back part of the
wagon, and showed 1t on to a wider part Of
the road, then deliberately passed Ga one
side to the stable. Could human wisdom
have done belter2 But TO crown all his
maneuvres, | mention the following, as
being, 1 consider, very extraordinarily
During the winter a large wide drain had
been made, and over this strong planks
had been placed for our friend the cart
horse, to pass over to his stable. 1t had
showed during the night, and froze very
hard in the morning. How he passed
over the planks on going out to work, |
know not, but on being turned loose from
the carl al breakfast he came up to them,
and | saw his fore feet slip he drew back
Immediately, and seemed for a moment at
a loss how to get on. Close to these
pIanks a cart load Of sand had been place
ed he put his fore foot on this, and look
ed wis,fully to the other side of the drain.
The boy who attends this horse, and who
had gone round by another path, seeing
him stand there, called him. The horse
Immediately turned round, and set about
scrapiug the sand mos, vigorously, first
with one foot and then with the other.
The boy, perhaps wondering what he
would be at, waited to see. When the
pIanks were completely covered with
sand, the horse turned round again, and
unhesiIatingIy walked over, and trolted
up TO his stable and driver. -SpOrting

Bear on, oh friend! even mid thy fears,
The gift may yet be thine,
Though hope deferred through weary years
Hath made thy spirit pine.
Though clouds are dark above thy head,
And shadows dim thy day.
Though disappointment round thee spread
Oh yet bear on thy way
Through pain and penury-toil and care
Bear up thy heart against despair!
Bear on! though friends and kin forsake.
Though SANDER burl her dart,
DO thou a firmer purpose take
To keep thee pure in heart!
Dark Malice and mean Envy dare
Assail with Upas tongue;
Yet Innocence is strong TO bear
The weight against it flung.
And in this faith through every i'll,
Oh learn 10 suffer and be still!
Bear on! 1t Is not always night
The morn MUST break at last
And THOU shalt hail as clear a light
As DER thy youth was cast.
Few are thy Summers yet;-Oh then
Bid thy wtonged heart hope on;
And for the sake of WHAT HATH BEEN
Thy need shall yet be won!
With Truth undimmed within thy breast,
Bear on! and leave to God the rest.
