Messrs Phelps & Blakesley, StLouis, Ma,
Gentlemen:-A desire Ia benefit the afflicted
Throughout the land has alone induced me to make
the following statementp Of facts respecting one Of
the most astonishing cures ever recorded: My san
now seventeen years old, has been afflicted during
his whole life with a constant cough, pain in Tie
side and chest, accompanied with night sweats and
hectic fever, which produced great emasiatfoa
and debility: and al intervals duying The night h1
expectoration would become so great Is to endsa-
ger his life from strangulatiun. During this time
he was attended by many physicians Of the highest
repute, whose prescriptions gave but temporary
relief in fact, so alarming were the SYMPTOMS. and
so inveterate was his disease, than ] was compel
led to believe him beyond the reach of ase4ies3
aid. 9E
All Dur neighbours wha saw him. regarded him
as one who was rapidly approaching an early and
premature grave. After having thus exhausted
theIskill of our best physicians, without obtaining
relief, I was prevailed upon by the advice ri ,
friend to make use of Wistay's Balsam Of WSid
Cherry.
He commenced its use sboufthe 30th Of Decen-
Der, 1874, the first bottle Of which gave astonisA-
ing relief, and I begun again to indulge in ths
fond hope that he might yet be restored to heslth~
After having continued the use Of II until three
bottles had peen taken, the disease was entirely
overcome, and his shattered constitution ssdI

health, which be continues to enjoy up to the pss-

The grief Of an old Soldier at the
Death of his Commander

Passing over the battlefield OF Moline
del Rev. immediately after our victorious
standard had been planted on the enemy's
works, where lay the dead and wounded
mingled together, my attention was at
tracted to different places, by the scenes
of grief and sorrow--scenes which panied
my feelings and shocked my sight-there
| found many acquaintance, dead and
wounded, whom had seen but a short
time previous full of health, and with
buoyant spirits, marching at the head OF
their commands, in the strong hope that
they would soon, by their noble deeds aud
heroic vaor, achieve fame for themselves
aud glory for their country. But, alas!
how uncertain are the ways ofllie; there
found the strong youth and the aged vete-
ran, who fell side by side, to rise no more.
Many oliho most noble souls Of the army,
and the pride of the country's chivalry,
there performed their last gallant acts on
the stage Of life.
After going over portion ofthe ground
and finding here & there valued acquan-
lance, my attention was attracted to a gray
headed veteran, who was standing by the
side of one who had fallen. lie leisurely
took his blanket fron his back and spread
it over The corpse with great care. lrodc
up to him, and asked him whether he was
an officer. He looked up, and every lir-
eament OF his face betokening the great
est grief, replied, you never asked n
question, sir, more easily answered; it is
an officer"
then asked him who il was. lie again
replied, "The best soldier of the 5th In
lantry. sir"
| then alighled from my horse, and un.
covering the face, found it was COl Mar
lain ScoH. AS again covered the face,
the soldier continued, without apparently
addressing himseIfto any person in partic-
uIar-"rhey have killed him-they will
be paid for tlris-C il had only been me
| have served with him almost four enlist
ments-but what will his poor family
saw"
And as he concluded thus, the tears
conrsed down his furrowed cheeks, and
the swelling Of his bosom showed how
deeply he was affected by the death of his
veteran and gallant commander. Could
there have been anything more affecting
than the grief of this soldier on the battle
field? s. how truly sublime & eloquent was
his reply to me, that it was, the best SOL
der of the 5M Infantry 1.-THE greatest
orator of the age had dwet upon the mem
ory of our departed friend until he had ex-
haus'ed his euogy and eloquence, he
could not have said anything which would
make a greater impression on our feelings
than did the reply of this soldier. Col.
Martin Scott was among the bravest of
the brave: he fought his way into our ar
my in the last war with Great Britain;
since that time he has been one OF the
brightest ornaments, g. has signally distn.
guished himself in the war with Mexi-
CO. for which he has been promoted and
brevctted.
