pect0runf is superior to oil other remedie!
for Coughs, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asth.
ma, and other Pulmonary affections, is, tina
the same persons who commenced the use
Of il in their families ten years ago, still pre-
fer it TO all other remedies Of the kind
and where any have been induced 10 try
other preparations, they have almost inva-
Si-hly been disappointed in receiving the
which was reasonably anticipated
from the high praises bestowed BY the pro-
.prietors, and have returned to the use OF
Jayne's Expectorant, as remedy that nev-
er has failed to relieve them, aud which
probably never had its equal in arresting
Pulmonary diseases.

Dan Marble and the Locomotive.

Dan Marble tells capital story of YAM
kee genius called Ezekiel somebody, who went
by the name of Locomotive.
Zeke-we believe that's the name-left
home for Bosting, with his pockets crammed
to busting with gingerbread, and arriving in
the great city of notions, he went about won
dering and staring at the signs and the sights
he saw. By .and.by Zeke found himself at
the railroad depot, and leaning up against one
of the posts, he began to tighten himself OF
his gingerbread. Having attracted the notice
of one of the officers, who, thinking perhaps,
he might have little fun out of Zeke, inquir-
ed of him if he wanted any employment.
"Well-I reckon-I d.eo, stranger" said
Zeke, swallowing chunk of gingerbread big
enough to choke any thing but Yankee.
"Well, what is it you can do! !"
"D-eo, say you-I can almost dec any
thing, from the holding bull by the tail to
the kissing of pretty gal"
"Well, then, just 60 there behind that wa
gon, get good hold ont, and don't let it start
till the bell rings and I'll pay you WELL"
"That's bargain, stranger-it's mighty
tarnal easy job, that, any h-eow," and turning
up his coat sleeves, Zeke got quickly behind
the Locomotive, which was about to start,
placed his heels and threw himself back for
aead-set, if needs it must be. By-and-by the
wheels began to move.
"No you d-eont," said Zeke.
Chunk-chunk," said the engine.
Il e.ck-on not" said Zeke, holding on
with the strength of a he COW.
"Chick, chuck-chick, chuck,-chick,
chuck" responded the locomotive, whirling
on high its steam, and in an instant leaving
Zeke fiat upon his face between the rails.
look here, mister" said Zeke, picking
himself up, and gazing with stretched eyes in
the direction of the flying locomotive, "that's
worse than bull, but you don't owe me moth
ing, no h-eow, if you Il say nothing abeout it,
But he did say something "abeout it, the
gals got hold of it, and Zeke, ever after, went
BY the name of Locomotive.
