In a short time, if you continue to neglect your
self, you will begin TO feel a sense Of tightness
and oppression across the chest, accompanied with
frequent sharp darting pains. Then o dry, hack
ing cough will set in, and when you RAISE any
thing it will be a thick and yellowish or white
frothy matter, streaked, perhaps, with blood. If
you still take no medicine, these unpleasant Sympr
toms viii increase, and you will soon have hectic
fever, cold chills, night sweats, copious expecto-
alton, and then great prestration. If you sill.
neglect yourself a few weeks or months wilhsee
you consigned to the grave, leaving your friends to
mourn how rapid consumption lid IFS work, and
hurried you away. Friendl have you no cause to
be alarmed? In the above sketch you may see as
in a glass, how every case of consumption pro
crosses, with more or less rapidity, to a fatal ter
Emination. OF all the thousands and millions
whom this great Destroyer has gathered to the
tomb, every single case began with acold! If this
had been attended to-, all might have been we'll;
but, being neglected, under the fatal delusion
that it would "wear itself off" it transferred its
deadly action 10 the substance of the lungs, ex-
citing there the formation of tubercles. Another,
and another cold added fuel to the flame, until
these tubercles began to soften and suppurates
leaving, by their liberation, great cavities in the
lungs. AT this crisis the disease is very difficult
of cure, and oltsntimes sets at defiance all human
means.
In the latter or worst stage, this medicine will
olten6meS arrest the disease, or check its pro-
lgress, and will always make the patient more
comfortable, and p~rolongs his life, and it is there
fore worthy Of a trial; but in its incipient or for
mer periods, Consumption is as durable as any
other disease, and DR.. HALLS BALSAM FOR
1.-THE LUNGS, if taken at this time, will cure 1t
AS SURELY AS 1T IS TAKEN! This is strong Ian
guage, but we can refer you TO numberless living
witnesses to prove that it is true! And therefore,
we earnestly exhort every man, woman and child,
who has a cough, or is subject to colds, to keep
the medicine by you in the house, and whenever
you take cold, do not "let it alone'' to work mis-
jhief in your system, but eradicate it thoroughly,
and at once, by this powerfully healing compound,
will leave your lungs uninjured, to carry you in
FIJI vigor to a good old agel

Is ii a dream, or is it the soul that sees.-BuLwEl
When the dewy shades Of even
Ploatedo'er the sleeping earth,
And the.trembling gems of heaven
Danced like wierds in their mirth-
Then my.thoughts aiar were waited
To a radiant sunlight cline,
Far away from earth's dark confines,
Where meier fell the foot OF Time.
There the sound of falling waters
Made sweet murmurs to the breeze,
While strange golden birds were fitting
Through the dark persistent trees
Then the gush of happy voices
Stole upon the enraptured ear,
Making strains of heavenly music
Strung on harpsI loved to hear.
Here and there were laughing children
Sporting Ger the messy dell,
Drinking drops Of pearly brightness
From the crystal violet's bell,
Smiling flowers Of hues the brightest,
Dream. like, nodded TO the wind,
Giving to each breeze a token
In their perfume left behind.
Wildly wildly, throbbed my bosom
As did around me gaze,
While strange thoughts stole Ger my spirit
Memories of other days. +,
And methought each radiant feature
Gazing through thestarry mist,
Bore the lineaments Of angels
That had passed to endless bliss.
Asl gaZed in dreamy raptures
AT the land of angels bright,
One fair form advanced to meet me
At the gate Of golden light. i,
SISTER, come" it whispered softly,
SISTER, come, delay no more
Soon thou'lt pass the stream-I wait thee
On this bright, this golden shore"
"Hcre, my sister, all is gladneSs,
Here no pang of grief we know
Once the dreaded ordeal over
Joys unbounded overflow.
Here is never heard the wailing
Of the widow, wild with care,
Or the famished orphan, calling
For a bite in sad despair.
But our.Father kindly watching,
Tends our every want and pain,
All our little gricfs assuages-
Smiles and joys here only reign.
Then come, my sister, l now greet thee,
At the glorious gate of light,
And with choral strains will lead thee
Through this land supremely bright"
As that voice of thrilling power,
Murmuring, died upon the breeze,
Woke within my spirit, ~lonsings
To unite my soul with thee
But the mystic spell was broken
Linked was to earth again.
Though my spirit dream was shattered
Yet it fingers on my brain.
Now l oft, as evening shadows
Fit across the hills of blue.
Dream of heaven as in that hour
When my life to me was new,
And It's sweet, although / waken
To a life beset with snares,
Yet to know that bliss immortal
Dwells beyond this world of cares.

MEssRs. o. r. BAKER & Co.-DearS irs. I have

attached to a patent medicine. But when / think
las now have every reason to belieyeli it has saved
my life, l am inducedby q sense of duty to those
afflicted as / have beer, tomake my case known,
and recommend your Balsam as a medicine that
can be FULLY RKIlEp ON. About a year since /
was attacked with Lung Fever, which left my
lungs much diseased; my cough was distressing,
attended with. with pain in my left side. | had
seen Wistar's Balsam Of Wild Cherry PUFFED UP
in the papers, and | concluded to tryit. | used
bottle after bottle. which in TASTE and in its
OPERATION resembled PAREG0RIO, soothing
temporarily. My disease had. by this time BECOME
FIRMLY SEATED; | had cold NIGHT swEATs, HECTIC
FEvERs, SWELLING or THE LIMBS, &C., showing CON-
FIRMED -CoNsuMPTIoNl The remedies / obtained
from my Physician also failed giving permanent
relief or benefit. NY LUves NOW ULcERATED, and
| now raised LARGE QUANTITIES OF MATTER from
them. The Dcu told my friends that / MUST
DIE! My brother then got a bottle of DR.. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs, and | commenced taking it.
At first it sickcned me. but after taking more, !
found 1t WENT TO THE ~sPoT--THE VERY SEAT OF MY
DISEASE. | began to raise with more ease, and
could feel, daily, that my Lungs were HEALING,
until, by the use Of four bottles, ! was RESTORED
TO BETTER HEALTH THAN HAD ENJOYED FOR YEARS.
| believe if had used Dr.. Halls Balsam when |
was first attacked, it would have saved me a vast
deal of suffering. All | can say to others, is, try
it, and | think you win be benefited, if your dis
ease is on your lungs. Yours respectfully

Life i'm a Powder Mill.
Dickens thus describes visit to the Pow
der Mill of Hounselow, near London:

Dickens thus QeSCTloeS flSil " 'hS v"
der Mill of Hounselow, near London:
"In this silent region, amid whose nine
ty-seven work places no human voice ever
breaks upon the ear, and where, indeed, mo
human form is seen, except in the isolated
house in which his allotted task is perform
ed. there are secreted upwards of two hum
dred and fifty work people. They are Pc
culiar race, moi, of couse, by nature, in most
cases, but by the habit of years. The cir
cumstances of momentary destruction in
which they live, added to the most string,
ent and necessary regulation, have subdued
their minds and feelings to the conditions
of their hire. There is seldom any need to
enforce these regulations Some terrible
explosion here, or in works of similar KIND
elsewhere, leaves fixed mark in their
memories, and acts as constant warning.
Here no shadow of practical joke, or ca
per of animal spirits, ever transpIre witt
cisms, no oaths, no chatting, or slang. a
laugh is never heard, smile is seldom
seen. Even the work is carried on by the
men with as few words as possible, and
these uttered in a low tone. Not that any
one fancies a mere sound will awaken the
spirit of combustion, or cause an explosion
to take place, but that their feelings are al
ways kept subdued.
eff one man wishes to communicate any
thing to another,or to ask for anything from
somebody at a short distance, he must 60
there; he is never permitted to shout or
call out. There is particular reason for
this last regulation. Amid all this silence,
whenever a shout does occur, everybody
knows that some imminent danger is eX-
pected the next moment, and all rush away
headlong from the direction of the shout
As to running toward it to offer any assist
ance, as common in all other cases, it is
thoroughly understood that none can be at
forded. An accident here is immediate and
beyond remedy. If the shouting be contln-
ed for some time, (for a man might be
drowning in the rlver) that might cause
one or two of the boldest to return, but this
would be rare occurrence. 1t is by no
means to be inferred that the men are sell
fish and insensible to the perils of each 9th
er; on the contrary, they have the greatest
consideration for each other, as we'll as for
their employers, and think of the danger to
the lives of others, and of the property at
stake at all times, and more especially IN all
the more dangerous houses" The pro,
prietors of the various gunpowder mills all
display the same consideration for each
other, and whenever any improvement ten
ding to lessen danger is discovered by one,
1t is Immediately communicated to all the
others. The wages of the men are good
and the hours very short; no artificial lights
are ever used in the works. They all wash
themselves-black, white, and bronze
and leave the mills at half-past three in
the afternoon, winter and summer"
