Several important cases in this vicinity, which

In fact. we think it one of the most invaluble

DR.. Ritchey, of Franklin, Ia, who stands high

Inc Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry" says:
THE effects of the Balsam are, in many cases,
strikingly beneficial. 10 1t improves upon ac-

Luther feared not the circling flames, nor
needed the anathemas hurled by the strong
arm of the Romish church. With an in
tellect equalled by few, and that intellect
consecrated to the service Of his Master,
Luther, with the cooperation of Mclanc-

lifted from the bosom of humanity load

the pulpit has sometimes been filled by
those whose hearts were harder than ada
mant, and the press has issued missiles Of
death in the form of "light literature y
written for and appropriated to the purpose
of crushing the moral element existing in
the minds of youth, yet through the instru-
mentality of those who have efficiently
labored in these departments, truth has re-
ceived an onward impulse. Mind is burst
ing its fetters s-before its onward march
monarchs are trembling at the crash of
their falling thrones, and time-honored
dynasties are siuking beneath the dark
waves of oblivion. Liberty's bright morn
ing has already dawned upon portions Of
the world - freemen now breath where
slaves once toiled-churche now point
their spires towards heaven where once the
wild forest echoed the war-whoop of the
savage and its march is onward. AS we'll
might mans puny arm attempt to chain the
whirlwind, or bind the ocean to the shore,
as to attempt to chain the human mind.
Then it should be the aim of all lovers of
truth to labor for the conservation of the
developing mind; this being done, how
soon will error die how soon will the dark
portions of earth be cheered by the light Of
Christianity how quickly would the shack
les fall from Africa's noble sons and the
