Massachusetts, the most Wealthy State In
the Union.--We see in the papers an account Of
the valuation of the several States, in which Mas
sachusets is placed at $4,000, ,oO0, and is made to
appear the sixth or seventh State in the Union in
point of wealth. We are surprised at this state
ment, for it is very incorrect as the valuation Of
Massac chuse,ts, January, 1850, was 5000, 900,
and was only exceeded by the States of New York
and Pennsylvania, and possibly Ohio. Taknginto

The Little Straw Hat.

IT'S a dear little hat, and it hangs there still
And its voice of the past bids our heart-strings
thrill,
For it seems like a shadow ofdays pass'do 'er,
Of the bright one who that hat once wore.
It's a dear little hat, for each simple braid
Tells that oft DER its plating those fingers played;
And MANY a wreath for its crown hath been
twined,
To the grateful taste fhis youthful mind.
Yes; there silent it hangs with its curling front,
Still as ~playfully rolled as had been its won't,
But the golden ringlets, which waved below,
Have curled their last clusters long ago.
Ave, the hat is the same, but it shades no more
Those light blue eyes as in days OF yore:
And the sun lit smiles that danced DER that brow,
Can but light up our hearts sad memories now.
Sad memories they are; DER their q~uivering strings
Each breath of the by-gone a tremor filings,
And Joys that we fain would waken again.,
In memory are wreathed with a thrill of pain.
Then call not the past-though the dimpled hand
May never again clasp the braided strand,
Though the breeze no longer may bear the tone
Of the ringing laughter of chlldhood's own.
All! think ofhim now with a gl~ittering crown
Der his heavenly forehead resting down,
While his fingers stray DER the golden wire,
That blends with his voice mid the cherub choir.
Aye, I see him now with the holy light
Pouring broad on his brow with radiance bright,
And | hearthe tones which in Heaven have birth;
Oh! call him not back to this saddened Earth.

Dear Sir-I have been i8duced, in consequence of the

in favor of its extraordinary healing properties. Having

case, under which lalored with shortuess of broatb and

This medicine is regarded by Physicians and Druggists
as the standard remedy for diseases of the Lungs and

forms. Read the following letter from an eminent pl,vsi-
clan and extensive druggist:

Babies in CaZyornia.-Crying children in
church are usually considered as nuisances, and
taken out; but this is not always the case, as
the following anecdote, from the Ladies' Re-
pository for April, will show:
"a brother just returned from California,
says he was present in the congregation of
brother Owen when a babe in the arm of its
mother began to cry. A thing so unusual in
California attracted not a little attention, and the
mother rose to retire. "Don't leave" said the
preacher, "the sound of that babes voice is
more interesting to many in this congregation
than my own. 1t is perhaps the sweetest mu-
sic many a man has heard since a long time
ago he took leave of his distant home" The
effect was instantaneous and powerful, and a
large portion of the congregation melted into
tears"

Many years OF trial. instead OF lmpalrlng the
public confidence in this medicine, has won for il
an appreciation and notoriety by far exceeding the
most s~anguine expectations of its friends. Moth
ing but its intrinsic virtues and the unmistakable
benefit conferred on thousands of sufferers, could
originate and maintain the reputation it enjoys
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community. have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred bene-
fits on the afflicted they can never forget. and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.
While it is a fraud on the public to pretend that
any one medicine will infallibly cure. still there is
abundant proof that the Cherry Pectoral does not
only as a general thing, but almost invariably cures
the maladies for which it is employed.
As time makes these facts wider and better
known, this medicine has gradually become the
best reliance of the afflicted, from the log-cabin of
the American Peasant to the palaces of European
Kings. Throughout the entire country, in every
State, city, and indeed almost every hamlet it
contains, Cherry Pectoral is known as the best re-
medy for diseases of the Throat and Lungs, and
in many foreign countries it is coming to be ex-
tensively used by the most intelligent physicians.
In Great Britain, France and Germany. where the
medical sciences have reached their highest per-
lection, Cherry Pectoral is introduced; and in con-
slant use in the armies, hospitals, aims houses,
public institutions, and in domestic practice, as the
surest remedy their attending physicians can en-
ploy for the more dangerous affections of the
Lungs. Also in milder cases and for children, it
is safe, pleasant and ~effectual to cure. In fact,
some OF the most f1attering testimonials that we
receive have been from parents who have found
it efticaclous in cases particularly incidental to
childhood.
The Cherry Pectoral is manufactured by a prac-
teal chemist, and every ounce of it under his
own eye, with invariable accuracy and care. 1t
is sealed and protected by law from counterfeits,
consequently can be relied on as genuine without
adulteration.
We have endeavored here to furnish the COM
munlty with a medicine of such intrinsic superb
ority and worth as should commend itself to their
confdence-a remedy at once safe, speedy and eff
f~ectual, which this has by repeated and countless
trials proved itself to be; and trust by great care
in preparing it with chemical accuracy. of uni
form strength to afford Physicians a new agent on
which they can rely for the best results, and the
afflicted with a remedy that will do for them all
that medicine can do.
