CHERRY PICTORIAL
For tho Cure Of
COUCUS, COLDS. HOARSENESS,
BRONCHITIS, WHO0PING-COUGH.
GROUP, ASTHMA. AND
CONSUMPTION.
Many years OF trial, instead of impairiig the
public confidence in this medicine, has won for
it an appreciation and uotoriety by far exceed
ing the most sanguine expectations OF its
friends. Nothing but its intrinsic virtues and
the unmistakahle benefit conferred on thousands
of sufferers, could originate and maintain the
reputation it enjoys. While many inferior re-
NEEDLES thrust upon the community, have failed
and been discarded, this has gained friends by
every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted
they can never forget, and produced cures too
numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.
While it is fraud on the public to pretend
that any one medicine will nfallibly cure--still
there is abundant proof that the CHERRY PFC
ToRAL does not only as general thing, but al
most invariably cure the maladies for which it
is employed.
AS time makes these facts wider and better
hoe Ilxyh hoe
the best reliance of the afflicted, from the log
cabin of the American peasant, to the palaces
of European kings. Throughout this entire
country, in every state, city, and indeed almost
every hamlet it contains, CHERRY PICTORIAL
is known as the best remedy extant for diseases
of the Throat and Lungs, and in many foreign
countries, it is coming to be extensively used
by their most Intelligent Physicians. In Great
Britain, France and Germany, where the me-
dical sciences have reached their highest per-
lection, CHERRY PICTORIAL is introduced, and
in constant use in the Armies, Hospitals, Aims
Houses, Public Institutions, and in domestic
practice, as the surest remedy their attending
Physicians can employ for the more dangerous
affections of the lungs. Also in mider cases,
and for children tits safe, pleasant and effectual
to cure. In fact, some of the most hatering
testimonials we receive have been from parents
who have found it etficacous in cases particu-
larly incidental to childhood.
The Cherry PEcToRAL is manufactured by
a practical Chemist, and every ounce of it un
der his own eye, with inyariab'e accuracy and
care. 1t is. sealed and protected by law from
counierfets. consequently can be relied on as
genuine without aduteration.
We have endeavored here to furnish the com.
munity with a medicine of such intrinsic supe-
riority and worth as should commend itself to
their Confidence remedy at once safe, spec
dy and effectual, which this has by repeated
and countless trials proved itself to be; and
trust by great care in preparing it with chemi-
cal accuracy, of uniform strength to afford
Physicians new agent on which they can re-
ly for the best results, and the afflicted with
remedy that viii do for them all that medicine
can do.

HYMN ON THE CITY.

BY BRYANT.
Not in the solitude
Alone, may man commune with Heaven, or see
Only in the savage wood
And sunny vale, the present Deity;
Or only hear His voice
Where the winds whisper and the waves rejoice.
Even here do behold
Thy steps, Almighty-here amidst the crowd
Through the great city rolled,
With everlasting murmur, deep and loud
Choking the ways that wind
'Mongstthe proud piles, the work of human kind.
Thy golden sunshine comes
From the round heaven, and on their dwellings
lies,
And lights their inner homes:
For them thou Hist with air the unbounded skies,
And givest them the stores
Of ocean, and the harvest of its shores.
Thy Spirit is around,
Quickening the restless mass that sweep along,
And this eternal sound
Voices and footballs of the numberless throng-
Like the resounding 6 sea,
Or like the rainy tempest, speaks to Thee.
And when the hours of rest
Come, like a calm, upon the mid'sea brine,
flushing its bilowy breast
The quiet Of the moment, too, is thine,
1t Itbreathes of Him who keeps
THE vast and helpless city while it sleeps.

You Eave made so much money out
Of me- said the speculator.
Tom lost his psuence and his piely.
The Devil take me- said he, If l have
made farlhing.'
Just then there were three loud knocks
at the street door, he stepped out to see
who was there. A black man was there
holding black horse, which neighed and
stamped with Impotence.
tom, you're come tor said the black
fellow gruffiy.
He shrunk back, but too late. !.e had
left his little Bible in his coat pocket; !;
and the big Bible on the desk buried un-
der The mortgage he was about to fore
close. Never was sinner more taken
unawares. Like child the black man
whisked him aslride the horse, and away
he galIoped in the midst of the thunder

the clerks stared after him from the win.
dow. Away went Tom W alker, dash
ing down the streets, his white cap bob.
blng up and down, his morning gown
funering in the wind, and his s,eed strik-
ing fire out of the pavements at every
bound. When the clerks turned to look
at the black man he had disappeared.
Tom Walker never returned to forclose
he mortgage. A countryman who lived
near the swamp, reported that in the
height of the hunder gust, he heard a
great cal'ering of hooIs and bowling along
the road, and when he ran to the window
he just caught sight OF a figure such as l
have described, on horse that galloped
like mad across the hills, and down into
the black hemIock swamp, towards the
old indian fort, and shortly afterwards a
thunderboll fell in that direction, which
seemed to set the forest in blaze. The
good people of Boston shook their heads
and shrugged their shoulders. They had
been so accustomed to witches and COB.
Inns. and tricks of the devil, in all kinds
of shapes, from the first settlement of the
country, hey were not so much Mortified
as might be expected. Trustees were ap-
pointed to take charge of Toms effects
There was nothing, however, to admin
lister upon. On searching his Golfers, his
bonds and mortgages were found reduced
To cInders. In place Of gold or silver, his
iron chest was filled with chips and shaw
ings; two skeIitans lay in the stable in
stead of his half starved horse, and the
very next day his great house took fire
aud was burned to the ground.
Such was the end of Tom Walker and
his iIl,go.ten wealth. Let all gripping mon.
ey brokers' lay the sto'y to their heart
The truth is not TO be ,uhted. The hole
under The oak trees whence he dug Kidd's
money is to be seen to this day, and the
nelghboring swamp and the old Indian
tort are often haunted by figure on
horseback, in morning gown and white
cap, which is doubtless the troubled spirit
Of the usurer. In fact, the story has re.
solved itself into proverh, and is the
origin of that popular saying so prevalent
throughout New England of "the Devil
and Tom Walker"

TRASspLANTING LARGE TREEs.-A great co.
gerness is manifested by many purchasers Of
fruit trees, to get those very large size, with
the hope Of soonnr obtaining large crops of fruit
iron. tbe'o. When extraordinary pains can be
,aAen in th"ir removal and resetting, so as to
secure circle of tibres with a diameter nearly
equal to the height of the tree. this will generally
succeed; but in common practice, large trees
are not so profitable as those of medium size
BY which We mean not much above one inch in
diameter in any case, or with any kind of tree.
This view is in any case corroboratcd by ]. T.
Worthington, of Chilicothe, Ohio, who has had
extensive experience in fruit raising, in COM
munlcation in the Ohio Farmer, from which we
make the following brief extract on the subject.
It's not desirable to plant fruit trees more
than an inch in diameter; they will have fruit
little If any sooner and in after years they are
apt to be unsound. l have now an app or
chard planted in March, ls49, holes dug in De-
cember lS4S, nearly all of the trees of which
bore this year and many of them bore last,
though the average size when planted was no
greater than of an inch in diameter, and an
other apple orchard of 20 trees of the same
size and similarly planted in 1916 bore this sea-
son several hundred bushels of choice fruit
would say then, dig your holes in the fall or
early winter in proper situation, not too wet
nor too much exposed, plant small and vigorous
trees, manure them with bushel or more of
rotten chips each, cultivate the ground in po-
tatoes or other root crops, and you will have
good healthy trees, and fruit in four or five
years at farthest.

LAW OF MARRIAGES IN New YoRK.-a
The question of marriage came up in New b
York recently, and j, was shown, that
marriage in that State, is declared 10 be
civil contract, differing only from other
contracts, in the fact that minors can be. a !
party TO them. and that the parties cannot
rescind the contract themselves. Agree
ment 10 marry, and subsequent residence
together, constitutes, with other modes, a
legal marriage. All collateral relatives.
as by the law Of England, that ois,, alIs
relatives, except brother and sister, or
and parent or grandparent and child, are
free to lntermarry, such as cousin 10 cotls- Z
in nephew to aunt, or uncle to niece, 60 3,
The marrying of trohers or sisters or
parent and child, is declared TO be incest,
punishable by State prison. Mariages1
can be contracted By males Of ta6, and i
females ofl4. Except the point ,declar.
ing marriage to be q civil contract, and the "
law as to incest, the common lawAis The q
