ical faculty and professional chemists in the United

four thousand accepted my offer, and nearly two
thousand have furnished their written endorse
ments, and acknowledge it is perfectly pure and
free from the admixture of the poisonous fusel
oil, or any of those armylic compounds which pro-
duce such mschievous and rreparable effects
upon the constitution, and which very few of the
alcoholic distilled liquors are without. The GER

The Exile,s Song.

We know Of land all with loneliness glowing,
Far, far In the west, DER the bilowy sea,
Where waters OF silver DER emeralds flowing,
And waveets leap up on the breast Of the lea,
Mid dew-lndcn flowers the bright birds are singing
Glad echo flies down to the vale with its ringing,
While zephyrs from out the Eden arc bringing
Tho voice Of a nation that dares to be free
The voice Of nation where spirits united.
Together march onward 10 liberty'e gonl:
Where bosoms that tyranny never hath blighted,
Swell high in their freedom Of thought and OF soul
They smile, when for freedom, oil wounded and pleading
They fall on the turf where the vuture Ia feeding;
They know not of shame nor blush at tho reading
OF names that they write on equalitys SCROLL
Oh, fair Ia the home by oppression unclouded
Away in the far distant land OF the west
Where honor and glory, together unshrouded
Lie proud on the native-born nobleman's breast.
Oh, give the altar where freemen are kneelinp,
Oh, let us, ms they In thought and In feeling,
Seek, while the eagle above us Ia wheeling
Meath the starspangled banner patriots rest
/
Oh, welcome the heart that for freedom Is swelling,
Mid pagcantry, regal, where minions would blend;
Thrice welcome the breast where forever Ia yelling
The tide that 10 harbors Of freedom would wend,
With ruth to oppression our hands extended
We strike for the weakest by honor defended,
We bind up the heart that n exiled and rendcd,
Then point to our flag as protector and friend.

in connection with this matter, that nearly all the

derives its cherry flavor from the addition of the
essential oil of bitter almonds, which contains a
large proportion Of hydro-cyanic or prussc acid,
one of the most deadly poisons in existence, and
the same with which DR.. V. p. Coolidge perpe-
trated the dabolica murder Of Mathews, in Maine,
