A Human Life Saved.

l- DOwagiac, Mich, March IL, 1856.
j. A. RHODES, EsQ.--Dear Sir: AS l took
your medicine to sell on consignment, no cure
no pay, ! take pleasure in stating its effects as
reported to me by three brothers who live in
this place, and their testimony is q fair speci-
men of all l have received:
| VS. Conklin told me-" had taken nine
bottles of Christie's Ague Balsam, and continll-
ally run down while using it until my lungs
| and liver were congestcd to that degree that
blood discharged from my mouth and bowels,
| so that all thought it impossible for me to live
| through another chill. The doctors too did all
they could for me-, but thought must die
| Nothing did me any good until got Rhodes
Fever and Ague Cure, which at once relieved
| me of the distress and nausea at my stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced
"a permanent cure in short time"
FL. M. Conl4lin says - l had been taking
medicine of as good a doctor as we have in our
county, and taken any quantity of quinine and
specifics without any good result, from 25th
August to 18th December. But seeing how
| nicely it operated on my brother, l got bottle
of Rhodes Fever and Ague Cure, which etiec-
ted a permanent cure by using two thirds Of a
BOTTLE 2i5ftE thtt*s.t% q
S. NJ Conklin was not here, but both the
other brothers say his case was the same as Ii.
Ms. Isold the medicine to both the same
uity anu tuCNulC WdS dn SIccuy IIIl tuc SstIlic
small quantity, and might so specify.
, Yours with respect, I'LL !

The above speaks for itself Good proof as
it is, it is of no better tenor than the vast num-
Der Of like certificates have already published
and the still greater amount that is still pour
ing in to me. One thing more. Last year /
had occasion to caution the public in these
words: 9. ! notice one firm who have taken
one of my general circulars, substituted the
name of their nostrum for my medicine, and
then with brazen impudence send their pamph-
let with the exclamation, Let the proprietor
of any medicine say as much if he dares,' &C.
Now take pleasure in saying that the eau
ton referred to the same DIR. Christie's Ague
Balsam that is mentioned in the above certif-
cate. There are several other industrious peo-
pie who are applying to their poisonous trash
all that publish about my Fever and Ague
Cure, or Antidote TO Malaria, except Tie ccs.iti-
Gates Of cures, and the certificate of the cele-
brated chemist, DR.. James r. Chiffon of New
York, in favor of its perfectly harmless charac-
ter, which is attached to every bottle. These
will always serve to distinguish my medicines
from limitations JAMES A. RHODES,

FREEDOM ALONE is SAFE.--To one
who lives in a dungeon without
breathing hole, the ray of light which
comes in by the clink of the door
scarcely opened is enough to dazzle
and hurt the sight To one who has a
long time enjoyed silence, the least
noise is unbearable. To one who has
never been at sea, the least squat
seems hurricane. But the man who
passes his life in the full light Of day,
who spends it in the midst of thous.
and sounds of work, or who sports on
the bosom of the waves, is not to be
dazzled, or deafened, or alarmed by
SO small matter.

Gbe MoraIist,
The Music of the Heart.

Last evening, as we were walking
leisurely along, the music of the choirs
in three churches came floating out in
to the darkness around us, and they
were all new tunes but one and that
one, it was not sang as we have heard
it, but it awakened train of long bur-
ried memories that rose to us even as
they were before the cemetery of the
soul had a tomb in it. 1t was the
sweet old Corinth they were singing
tune we have seldom heard since the
rose color of life was blanched, and we
were in a moment back again to the
old village church, and it was sum-
mer afternoon, and the yellow sun
beams were streaming through the
west windows, and the silver hair OF
the old deacon, who sat in the pulpit,
was turned to gold in it's light; and
the minister who we used to think
could never die, so good'was he, had
concluded duplication and 'exhorta
tion,' and the choir was singing the
last hymn, and the tune was Corinth
1t is years, we dare not think how
many, since then, and the prayers of
David the son Of Jesse are ended and
the choir are scattered and gone-the
girl with blue eyes that sang alto, and
the girl with black eyes that sang air
the eyes of the one were like a clea,
June heaven at noon. They both be
came wives and both mothers, and they
both died. Who shall say they are
not singing Corinth still, where Sab
baths never wane, and congregations
never break up? There they sat Sab
bath after Sabbath, by the square col
umns on the right of the leader, and tt
our young ears the tones were the
very soul of music That column
bears still their pencilled names, as
they wrote them in those days in life
June, 1888, before dreams or change
had overcome their spirits like sum
mer cloud. Alas, that with the ole
singers, most of the sweetest tones had
died upon the air but they linger in
memory, and they shall yet be sung in
the sweetest reunion of song that shall
take place by and by, in hall whose
columns are beams of morning light,
whose floors are all gold, and where
hair never turns silvery, and hearts
never grow old. Then she that sang
alto, and she that sang air, will be in
their places once more"

Autumn.
BY ALICE CAREY.

Through my window shows the stain
Of the oak, grown redly sere;
Autumn frost, and autumn rain,
Fall a month too soon this year
Fall month too soon, my dear.
Were you sitting near to me,
Oh my friend, this dreary day,
Brownest fields would seem to be
Sweet with speckled pinks, and hay,
And the naples twice as gay.
In their yellow caps they stand,
Down the ridges, two by two,
Looking very proud and grand,
As if God had made them new
AS should be, loved by you.
From its bower of biting thorns,
Will the sweet briar break in May,
Like thousand little morns
To one round and rosy day?
e Never, with my love away.
