request Of your agent, we will vEeerIuily STATE
what we have known ui lhe effects oiy your ClIEk-
KY PECTURAL and they have been astonishing
indeed. Mrs. Beisey Slreeter had been afflicted
with severe and relentless cUug h, which reduced
her very low so lnw that little hope could be ell
tertarned of her recovery, Numerous remedies
had been tried without effect before the Cherry
Pec,oral And that has cured he. Gearse W at.
kilson Esq, had to our knowledge been afflicted
with asthma, tor eleven years, and grown yearly
worse, until the Cherry Pecloral has now removed
the disease and he is free from any OF lis sylnp
toms as we are. The kew. Mark Dane had Dren
so severely attacked with The bronchitis, as to d's
able hIu from his duties, aud nohIng had afforded
him relief until (NIr. Thorniag) carried hIn
bottle of your Pec,ora, which cured hun at once
and he now otfciates usual in this place
These are three OF the cases in which we have
kdown it successful, but never tail. ". have
great pleasure III certifying % these facts anu ale

LINES BY MILTON IN HIS OLD AGE.
This sublime and affecting production was but
lately discovered among the remains of our great
epic poet, and is published in the recent Oxford
edition of Milton's Works

Men point at me smitten by Gods frown:
Afflicted and deserted of my kind;
Yet am not cast down.
am weak, yet strong;
l murmur not that no longer see;
Poor, old, and helpless, the more belong,
Father Supreme! to Thee.
Omerciful One!
When men are farthest, then Thou art most near ;
When friends pass by, my weakedness shun,
Thy chariot hear.
Thy glorious face
Is leaning towards me and its holy light
Shines in upon my lonely dwelling place,
And there is no more night.
On my bended knee
I recognise Thy purpose, clearly shown;
My vision Thou hast dmmed, that may see
Thyself-Thyself alone.

This darkness is the shadow of Thy wing;
Beneath it | am almost sacred here
Can come no evil thing

Trembling, where foot of mortal ne er hath been,
Wrapp'd in the radiance of Thy sinless land,
Which eyes hath never seen.
Visions come and go;
Shapes of resplendent beauty round me throng;
From angels lips seem to hear the flow
Of soft and holy song.
1t is nothing now,
When heaven is opening on my sightless eyes
When airs from Paradise refresh my brow,
The earth in darkness lies.
In purer cline
My being fills with rapture-waves of thought
Rob il upon my spirit-strains sublime
Break over me unsought.
Give me now my Tyre!

Within my bosom glows unearthly fire,

SKETCHES OF THE ILLUSTRIOUS DEAD.
DANIEL DEFoE.
The author Of Robinson Crusne, although
that single work is very widely known, and
more Than a century has elapsed since it's
gifted author ceased 10 live, get he has moi
ohlained flhe estimation Of mankind .ha,
share of fame and that rank in English lite
ratu'e 10 which he is justly entitled. De-
foes life was one of extraordinary activity
and industry.
He was born in London in 1861, and was
sent to an academy TO be educated, KEEP, by
n dissenting clergyman al New ~ing,on Green.
Here he distinguished himself by his fond
ness for reading every thing that came in his
way, and un.iring industry in storing his
mind with useful knowledge. On leaving
the academy, he was bound apprentice to a
hosier, and afterwards set up for himself in
CornhIll. He had not finished his appren-
lceship before he appeared as an author in
Ia political pamphIe. in 1853. Literature
was destined /" become Defoe's chief pro-
fession. He had married in 1857. His
speculs,ions in trade and manufactures were
not fortunate, and IN 1892 he became bank
rupl His conduct respecting this even,
was highly honorable. He gave up every
thing he had; obtained full scquilla Of
his creditors; yet he persevered, To the end
of his life, endeavoring to pay off The las,
remnant of his old debts. He saws, in one
Of his publications some twelve years sub
sequent TO his bankruptcy, that ''wi,h nu-
merous family. and no help bu, his own in
duslry, he had forced his way with unds.
coursged diligence through a sea Of mislor-
tunes, and reduced his debts from seventeen
thousand TO less than FIVE thousand pound" :"
In 1897 he published work en,l,led "An
Essay on PfojecIs." II is full of new and
ingenious schemes connected with trade and
commerce, education, literature, and the gem
resumed his old field of politics, where he
continued 10 distinguish himself as the most
active, The most able, and the most conspi-
cuous, among a crowd Of combalants lhro'-
out stormy period of eighteen years. We
cannot enumera,e The productions of his
fertile and unwearied pen.
Although comparatively humble and sub
ordinate the sphere in which he moved. and
exposed to all sorts of temptations, Defoe's
political career was distinguished by a con-
slstency, disinleres,edness, and an indie.

PREPARATION FOR WINTER.-We doubt
whether a more beautiful and truthful pic
ture Of comfort and happiness could be pre-
sen,ed, than the following which we find in
an exchange paper, and in which we only
venture 10 make an alienation Of few
words:
Winter, stern and cold, is near at hand F;
bu, wha, cares The thriving farmer for the
shril night blast, the driving storm, or the
biting frost, when, with an approving con-
science and a grateful heart his out door du-
ties for The day are all performed, he takes
his sea, a. cheerful fire, prepared 10 spend
long evening, as a social, intellectual and
moral being should. He feels that every
Thing in and abou, his building, go far as hu-
man prudence and fore,hough, are concern
ed, is safe and in order. Winier may come
he expects i. and is ready for it. Every
domestic animal he owns is comfortably
sheltered, and provided with suitable food.
His potatoes, apples, Sc, are secure from
frost. He has an ample supply Of fuel,
6ued for the fire and put into his wood
house. His industry and skill have been
rewarded by remuneraling harvests, 50 that
he has bread enough to spare. His build
logs are insured. His children are comfort
ably clad, and he has procured for them the
necessary school books. His taxes are paid,
and he has subscribed and paid for the PORT
TOBACCO TINES. We doubt whether there
is any situation or station in life more fa-
vorabIe for quiet, substantial happiness and
con,en,men', than tina. possessed by The for
mer, such an one as we have endeavored to
describe.

TRANsFus1NG OF BLooD.-The French
papers state that very interesting expert
ment was performed at the Hotel Dieu OF
Lyons. female was brought into the
hospital who had been seized with violent
hemmorsge. Her condition seemed despe-
rate. Death appeared immIneni, inevitable.
Doctor Delorme suggested rsnefusIon-
This was at first comba,ted by the other
ply yscians as offering no chance Of success,
but was finally assented to, ae. the case be-
ing desperate one, it could do no harm,
even if it did no good. One Of the young
aspiran,s, residing in the hospital, offered
10 furnish the blood necessary TO the ope-
ration. A syringe was immersed in warm
water and KEEP, there ill i, became Of tenn
perature iiule higher than that of blood
in circulation. The proper vein in the arm
of the sufferer was then opened, and fne
camula, or tube, was introduced TO some
length. The other end Of The tube was then
fitted to the syringe, which was enveloped
in warm 10 els, and in which was the ne
cessary quantity of pure hnman blood. The
operator then gently forced into the veins of
the dying woman the revising fluid.
AT this moment, as she afterwards de-
elared, she felt grateful warmth spread
over her body, without having the reason
ing faculty strong enough to trace it TO say
cause. Soon after she recovered, in grea,
degree, her senses and eyesight. A few
hours later, reaction manifested itself so
violently. that the physician were serious
ly alarmed. ]. seemed as if death might
resul, as we'll from too much-,oo acuve
vi,slny-as from vitality too much exhaust
ed and enfeebled. Bu. a calming potion
soon diminished this unnatural action, and
the pa'ien. has since been reguIsty improv-
ing. The last intelligence from Lyons s,.,es
lha. it is now hardly possible that relapse
can occur, and that The cure may be Sc. down
as complete.

A FUNERAL SERMoN.-A friend Of ours
from the South (ssys The Knickerbocker)
mentioned the other day funeral sermon
Which he heard in North Carolina not long
since, that set even our associste Owl a.
winking. PArson So rather eccentric
character, was called upon to s'presch The
funeral'' of hard case named Ram, which
he did in the following unique style:
"My beloved brethren and siste,n: ef our
dear departed brother Kann would a-wan,ed
somebody to come here and tell lies abou,
hlm, and make.him out better man than
LS GAS, he wouldn't a-ch9se me TO spreath
his laneral.' No, my brethren, he wanted
10 be held up as burnin' and sbinin' light
to warn you from the error Of your ways.
He kept horses, and he run'd 'em he kept
chickens and he fou'! 'em, he kept women,
and there sits his widow who can prove il.
CThe widow sat directly in front Of the pull
pit, and here gave an afirmatory nod) Our
dear, departed brother had many warnin's,
brethren. The first warnin' was when he
broke his leg, but he still went on in the
error ofhis ways. The econd>warnin' was
when his son Pete hung himself in Jail and
the las, and greatest warnin' of all was when
he died himselfr' The preacher enlarged
on these topics until he had sunk Ram so
low that his hearers began 10 doubt whether
he would ever succeed in getting him up a.
gain, and, as is usual in Funerals" landing
him safely in Abraham's bosom. This was
the object Of the second part Of the Sermon,
which started off thus: "My brethren,
,here'll be meracles, great meracles in Heav-
en-. And The frs, meracle will be, that many
you expect to find there you won. see there.
The people tha. 60 round with long faces,
maxim long prayers, won't be there: and
the second meracle will be, that many you
don. expect 10 find there, ss perhaps some
won't expect to find our dear departed bro
ther Ram, you'll see there and the last and
greatest meracle will be, to find yoursclres
lherer' ''There is not one single word Of
exaggera,ion," said the narrator, sin This. it.
