of the former, he had maintained a

Deep and abiding as the memory Of

from probably one of the last letters he
ever wrote, adds increased lustre to the
bright halo that already surrounds his

With a mind towering among the

say large majority, were anxious to
bestow its highest honors, we see him

which IN short time was filled nearly
to the brim; he then took a spile which
he had previousl Y made, and plugged
up the hole.
A few minutes afterwards Jack went
on deck, where the mate was still en-.
gagged in demoishing large lump of
duff, and Jack, who was little bit of a
tavorlte, asked the mate for glass Of
grog; the mate said he would not give
him any; we'll, says Jack, I've a good
mind to steal one; do so if you can,
said the mate, if you can do it without
my finding you out; I'll forgive you.
Jack went away, and few minutes
afterwards came on deck with his
bucket, singing out, grog'o. The mate
smelt the grog, he stared, stamped and
raved. W here did you get that grog
sir! got it out of that cask you were
sitting on just now, SIT. You lie, you
rascal. | have been watching it partic-
u'arly. That may be, sir, but there
are other ways of killing a dog besides
hanging him. The mate everhauleo
the cask. and ordered it to be rolled out
to see that the devil was not behino
Tit. Stop, sir, said Jack, you will break
the spile if you are not careful, as soor
as the cask began 10 be moved. Jaci
cried out, the grogis mine sir, accord

an old sailor himself, and OF gooe
natural disposition, pardoned the of
fence, and allowed Jack to divide tn
bucket Of grog amongst his shipmates
at the same time saying that he wa

Jack and his Bucket of Crog.

Notwithstanding the prohibition that
has been issued by the Military Com
mandant of this department, against the
sale of all intoxicating liquors in this
town, some Of the sailors still! continue
TO get drunk. Where, or how they
obtain the liquor, is not known; bat we
have heard OF a sailors drawing spirits
from dry three inch oak plank.
We have heard of Chief Mate of
an American vessel, bound to Liver
pool, who addressed his crew on the
day Of sailing, in the following words:
"Men, | am well aware that sailors
are fond of grog. of which there is
great deal in this vessel; I likewise
know that if they can get it no other
way, they will steal it. Now If ever
any man can steal any liquor on board
this vessel without my finding him out.
will forgive him, but so sure as |
catch him at it, will punish him Sc
verely. lam wide awake, and am not
to be outdone by sailors OF these times"
On the passage there occurred ne
cessity for breaking out the hold, when
brandy, rum and wine had to come on
deck, at each cask of which Jack cast
q wishful eye. Dinner time came on,
the mate, not wishing to give an op-
portunitY TO any Of his men to commit
crime that might endanger both body
and soul, remained on deck, seated on
the largest cask of rum. with his plate
on his lap. taking his dinner. Jack
peeped up the hatchway and saw the
mate duly occupied in supplying the
cravings OF a hungry belly, and it i'm
medIately struck him that a man was
as likely to die with thirst as with hun.
ger; he walked aft as though he wanted
something. taking particular notice of
the plank on which the bilge of the rum
cask rested, then went below again and
gotta long drilling bit and brace, and
began boring easily through the deck,

VNyHESE Pills have now been before the public

The idea generally prevails that cathartic, to

the bowels. These Pills, while they evacuate the
contents ofthe alimentary canal with very little
if any pain, that also operate upon the secretlons
in purifying the blood, exciting nsensibIe persp,-

en- in connection with my Sarsaparilla as they
cooperate with it in removing those affective dis

should be taken weekly while the patient is under

CONCENTRATED
BASAM OF WILD CHERRY.
E. A S T M A NJ S

BASAM OE W1LO CaERRY,
has already cured many such cases. and will Ger.
tainly restore many more from the grasp of the
.grim visaged monster" if those afflicted will
but try il.
Do not say, 81 have tried this or that and ii
did me no good" but try this; and if, after using
it, you are not in some measure restored, then
you may we'll despair.
EAsTMAN's CONCENTRATED BALsAM OF WILD
CHERRY has cured many cases. Here is the
proof in short. The certificates are in full a.
round each bottle.
Robert Carter, of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, was attack
ed with pain in the side, hard dry cough, and
difficulty in breathing. These symptoms in
creased rapidly, until at last he was brought to
that fearful stage where tho cold night sweats
commenced, which presage speedy dissolution
of the spirit from the body. At this time he com
menced using Eastman's Concentrated Balsam
of Wild Cherry, having previously used many
remedies to no purpose. Before he had used one
single bottle, he was restored to complete health,
and has continued SO ever since. Read bis cor-
tifcate on the wrapper.
RF Crowell, of Putnam, Ohio. certifes that
he was cured of severe and distressing cough,
pain in the side, shortness of breath, and night
sweats, by the use of Eastman's concentrated
Balsam of Wild Cherry. His cough and op
preston for breath was SO severe that he could
not lie down.
Mahlon Davis, of Deerfeld, Morgan county
cline for six or seven years, with severe cough
pain in the side and chest, and other symptoms
indicating Consumption. She tried various rem
edies, among which she used seven bottles o
Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, which was no
of the least benefit to her. She, as last resort
(and as many others will do,) got bottle o
Eastnan's Concentrated Balsam Of Wild Cherry
and was cured.
Do you believe now? We might extend the
list of cures effected by this medicine. but o
what avail? If you will not believe these pr oofs
moe would no: strengthen your belief. These
certificates are not fictitious stories, got up fo
the purpose of selling the medicine. If yor
doubt. write to the persons or visit them, and SEE
the bloom of health covering the cheeks Of thos'
so lately ON the verge of the grave.
Again we say, before it is too late. try bottle
of Eastman's Concentrated Balsam of Wile
Cherry, if you wish to save yourself from deall
in "Consumpton's ghastly form''
