tainly restore many more from the grasp of the

EAsTMANs 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 Garter, 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 the cold night sweats
commenced, which presage speedy dissolution
of the spirit from the body. At this time he com
menced using Eastmans Cor centrated 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 ever since. Read bis Ger
tifcate on tho wrapper
X. r. Crowell, of Putnam, Ohio. certifies 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,
Ohio states. that daughter of his was in de-
CliHe loI siA Ut SefeH years, WIN severe cough,
pain in the side and chest, and other symptoms
indicating Consumption. She tried various rem
edies among which she used seven bottles oi
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 Of
Eastman'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 Of
what avail? If you will not believe these proofs.
more would no. strengthen your belief. These
certificates are not fictitious stories, got up for
the purpose of selling the medicine. If you
doubt, write to the persons or visit them, and see
the bloom of health covering the cheeks of those
SO lately on the verge of the grave.
Again we say, before it is too late, try bottle
of Eastman's Concentrated Balsam of Wild
Cherry, if you wish to save yourself from death

William 10 Mary.

DkAR Macy, mistress of my heart,
Pm pleased with thee once more to meet
And clasp thee, smiling as thou az,
And with a kiss thy lips to greet;
And fondly press my cheek, to thine,
Rsclining on an easy chair,
And round thy waist my arms entw1ne,
Thy fingers twining round my hair
Endearing joys thu. cluster round,
And o'er me cast their magic spell,
n Till nought but love seems to abound,
Der earth and all that on it dwell.
How long, alas. thy absence seems;
/ fain would eft'ner to thee speak,
And tellthee all my pleasant dreams,
But, Dear, can't, but ta,ie: a week.
"a Oh! language cannot, cannot tell,
The halfa loving heart can feel;
How fond, devoted bosoms swell,
Atwhat look may oft reveal.
And loves own language, poetry,
May captivate the soul awhile,
But oh it is but mockery,
Compar'd with thy bewitching smile.
And natures poetry; Earths flowers,
May for . time the heart entrance;
But there are more than earthly powers,
Exhibited in Woman's glance.
So friendship, oft may prove ate,
In constancy, like to the Dove,
But there is nought beneath the sky,
Sosweet, SO constant, as true love.

Woman as she is,

And feeling hearts, touch them but rightly, pour
4 thousand melodies, unheard of.
The embodiment of tbs affectuous portion of
the human soul is woman. Her organization is
sensitive, her feelings ardent, her attachments or
disIikes strong and whoe-hearted. Hence. she is
more the creature Of impulse than less-excitabe,
colder and more-calcuIating man. She is more
instructive, and less reasoning; she is truer 10
nature-nearer TO God. Last made in the order
of creation, in moral eminence she stands first
If man was the nobIest work Of all that preceded
him in existence, woman was the GROWING part
of humanity itself.
Happy would it be for human kind, if the head
of humanity could properly appreciate lis heart:
If man could recoUniz- ,wnpan in tho nqsifinn IN
which the Creator of all placed her. Ever VI
brating TO the touch Of kindness. or equally re-
spending to the stroke OF cruelty, she gives back
what she receives of good i'll. The man is
ignorant of his own highest happiness, who knows
not how to elicit from her the music OF angels.
IT, in rudcIy assauIting her decately ly-attuned Or
ansnl he receives in return the notes of dlscord
and aversion, he has bur blame his rashness.
Oh, woman, oft misconstrued. the pure pearls
Lie all too deep in thy hearts secret we'll,
For the unpausIng and i'm patient hand
To win them forth.
