DIR. Martins syrup OF wild Cherry and snr-
sapariiIa.


TIME WILD CHERRY AND SARSAPARILLA,
i which, ON the basis of this preparation, have
long been celebrated in Consumption and Scrofula
Diseases of the skin, Coughs, Colds, Splitting Of
Blood, Asthma, sc. Though this remedy has been
but short time before the public yet it has gained
perhaps more character and reputation as a cura-
tive in those diseases than any remedy of the day.
The Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church,
(the Right Rev. w. X. Nottingham authorized
as TO say he has used il in his person with de
cidcd beneft-Dr. 5. Harper, of Kent Island, has
written to us, he has used il with great in
his practice [see his letter in the pamphlet And
in letter from lady the Eastern Shore Of this
State, she says: al had a letter from Miss E
on Tuesday; she says mother has requested her to
say Isabel derived almost instantaneous relief from
DR. MARTINS SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY.
Her disease was Consumption in its forming stage.
The Boonsborough odd FsLiotc, of Washington
county, Maryland, June 10th, lS4S, says "When
an article has afforded relief TO many persons
DR. MARTINS COMPOUND SYRUP Or WILD
CHERRY has done, we feel bound 10 make il
known. There never article in this coun-
try that has afforded relief and gave satisfsc-
ton than this In the neighborhood Of Brownsville,
in this county, il has effected several important
cures, and, from certain knowledge oft
we pronounce il unequalled for the cure of Coughs
Colds, and diseases Of this kind"

The First Methodist Meeting House 10 America

A RELIC OF OLDEE TIMEs.-A book
Of "Church Architecture" recently pub
lished in London, contains the following
interesting notice Of the first Methodist
meeting house in America
"The first Methodist meeting house in
America was a log hut; but subsequently,
through the interest OF Captain Webb, a
piece Of ground was procured upon Golden
Hill, rising ground near the borders Of
New York; now named John street Ma
terials were purchased and contracts enter
ed into, in the names Of those persons who
joined with Capt. Webb in the undertaking.
The building was 60 feet losg by AZ feet
wide. Ii was opened on the Both Of Octo-
Der, l76S, by Mr.. Embry who, being by
trade carpenter, had himself constructed
the pulpit from which he preached. 1t had
an area in front Of about 30 feet square,
separated from the street by a wooden
fence. There were three square headed
windows surmounted by circular one,
near the roof, below which was an arched
door, and subsequently side entrances by
steps to the galleries. In order to reach
the galleries when first erected, it vas ne
cessary to mount by ladder and then sill
upon platforms, and for long time bench
es only with backs were provided below
Such was the construction Of the first Meth
odist Chapel in the Western world"

N. P. Willis, notices the recent illness
Of Mrs. Judson, the missionary, in the FOL-
lowing beautiful and touching manner;
"That the constitution Of this sweet child
of genius was of consumptive tendency we
knew; but had confidently hoped that the
change Of climate, and the air Of warmer
latitude would have the beneficial effect
which they often do, and give her better
health than she had hitherto known. II
she die there, her grave will be well placed,
in path of duty; but there are those here
to whom a certainty ofnot seeing her again
in this world will be heavy to bear. Her
day will have been bright and brief, but it
sets with a rosy promise of still fairer
tomorrow; for the light of soul like hers
sends its brightness dawnlike, before her
into heaven. 1t is short sighted to mourn
over the pure spirits descent below the ho
rizon Of the grave, when We know that, as
tho light pales on this side Of that dark linn
it to our vision, it kindles on the 9th or side

the entire cavity OF the abdomen. Mrs. ID. had
been lsboring under this disease for three yeaTs,
and during that time had been tapped seventeen
times by Dr.. Sharpe. The operation was perform
