This preparation is getting into use all
over our Country. The numerous letters
we receive from our various agents, infor-
ming us of curses effected in their immediate
neighborhoods, warrant US in saying il is one
OF the best, If no; the pery best Cough Medi-
cine now before the public. II almost inpa-
rd6ty relieves and NOT unfregusntiy cures the
rery tcorst case. When all other Couch
preparations have failed, this has relieved
the patient, as Druggists, dealers in
Medicines, and Physicians can testify.
Ask the Agent in your nearest town, what
has been his experience of the effects of this
medicine. If he has been selling it for any
length Of time he will tell you.
1T IS TIE BEST MEDICINE EXTA Mt
Below we give few extacts from letters
we have received lately regarding the vir-
tues of this medicine
Dr.S. .Oslin, of Knoxville, Ga, says:-Thare

Our Agent in Pickens District, s. c. Mr..

mends it to his neighbors." lie gives an
instance of Negro woman, in his vicinity,
who had been suffering with disease Of the
Lungs for years, attended with severe cough,
who was relieved by the Liverworth and Tar.
Such are the good reports we hear of
this Medicine from all parts of the South.
For report of the surprising cures it has
Performed in the Western and Norhern and
Eastern States, we would invite the suffering
patient to read the pamphlet which accom-.
Pan'es each bottle. To all we say haze Hope

POETRY.
Looks of Hair.

THE following stanzas appeared a few
years ago In the poets corner Of Cana
iian newspaper. We think that all who
read them will at once pronounce them
worthy Of PreseIvation;
You've often heard me promise, Fred,
One day to tell You where
And from what treasured heads shred
These treasured locks Of hair,
Well now the time has come at last,
Your birthday festival,
Has blithely come and swiftly pass'd,
And you shall know them all.
Twelve years have feeted since how'd
In fearless grief, my knee
Beside our dying sire, and vowed
parents care for thee
And remember how you tried,
TSil even the menials wept,
To wake our father when he died,
And said, "hs only slept"
lhis snort curfd lock, huiiff dars, .:s s@.: gray,
clipt It from his brow.
I've kept II sacred till to-day,
We will divide H. now;
And when yon look upon il, Fred,
Still think ycu hear the voice
That with its dying accents said,
my Father, bless my boys"
This raven braid belonged TO one
You never knew, my brother,
She only bless'd her new born son
And died--our sainted mother!
She left us-but with US she left
A fairer, tenderer flower;
But like n plant Of sun bereft
She witherd from that hour.
Spring buds, around our mothers tomb.
Came just In time to wave;
We saw the flowers Of autumn bloom
Upon our sisters grave.
My boy! your tears are falling fast
On yonder golden tress,
it Is relic, and the last,
OF her lost loyeliness.
And this long waving silken curl,
An that YOU must not share;
You never knew the angel-girl
Who gave that auburn hair.
My beautiful my blessed one!
And she, too, pass'd away
strove TO breathe -Thy will be DONE"
But 1t was hard to say.
o By how weak and frail thing
May the hearts depths be stirr'd
How close and long will memory cling
To one light look or word;
And are not these slight looks with more
OF spirit meaning fraught,
Than nil the mystic, letter'd lore
Well they are happy now, dear boy,
Their ransom'd souls are free
They feel no more earth's hollow Joy,
And real misery.
Our barks are struggling slow 10 shore,
BY storm and tempest driven,
But they have pass'd lif,'s ocean o'er,
And anchord safe in heaven.
