A Human Life Saved.


j. A. RHODES, ESQ: Dear Sr-As took your
medicine to sell on consignment, no cure 10 pay
take pleasure in stating its effects reported to
me by three brothers who live in this place, and
their testimony is fair specimen of all have re
ceived.
w. S. CoNsL1N told me-" had taken bottles
Of Christe's Ague Balsam, and continually run
down while using it until my lungs and liver were
congested to that degree that blood discharged from
my mouth and bowels, so that all thought itimpos-
sible for live through another chill The doc
tors too did all they could for me, hut thought
must die. Nothing did me any good until got
Rhodes's Fever and Ague Cure, which at once re-
lieved me of the distress and nausea at stomach
and pain in my head and bowels, and produced
permanent cure in short time
II. NJ. CoNKLIN SAYS: GO had been taking medi-
cine of as good doctor 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 Oh
my brother got bottle of RHODES FEVER AND
AGUE CURE, which effected permanent cure by
using two-thirds of bottle"
S. Nj. CONKLIN not here, but both the other
brothers say his the same as II. Ms. Isold
the medicine to both the same day and the cure
as speedy from the same small quantity and might
so specify Yours with respect, a. HUNTINGTON.
The above speaks for itself Good proof as it il,
it is of no better tenor than the vast number of like
certificates have already published, and the still
greater amount that is continually pouring in to me.
One thing more. Last year had occasion to
caution the public in these words -
,al .rcnars aa @ gi III sas S
trum for my medicine and then acath 6ra%em imTu-
demce end their pamphlet pth the exclamation, Let
the proprietor Of any other medicine say as much i
he dares." &c.
Now l take pleasure in saying that the caution
referred to the same DR.. Chrstie's Ague Balsam"
that is mentioned in the above certificate.
There are several other industrious people who
applying to their poisonous trash all that pub
sh about my Fever and que Cure, or Antidote 10
Malaria. except the certificates of cures, and the
certificate Of the celebrated chemist, DR.. james r.
Chiffon, of n Y, in favor Gifts perfectly HARMLESS
CHARACTER, which is attached to every bottle
These will always serve to distinguish my medicine
from limitations. JAS. A. RHODES, Proprietor.

QUEEN VICTORIAs CHILDREN

The Queen of England may not be a
great sovereign, but she undoubtedly de-
serves the higher praise of being true
woman. The Toronto Globe has taken
pains to collect from the English papers
an account of the manner the Queen
brings up her children, from which We
make the following extract:
It would seem that the hole house
hold is up betimes that the young peQ-
lie breakfast at eight and dine at one,
which hours some people think decidel-
ly vulgar. During the forenoon they
keep to their books. Then the boys al E
drilled in military exercises, while -. )
girls, We suppose, practice caIisthenics
After this they have au hour of music
and dancing. By this time dinner is
ready; and when it's tolls are surmount-
ed, the children go to the riding school,
from Which they proceed, the princesses
to drawing and music, and the princes
to a carpenters shop, where they ham
mer, ana saw, ana turn, tlll they are
tired; after which they occasionally
spend sometime in a laboratory fitted
up for their peculiar use. The school
is now ended; aud while the girls now
go out to play or ride, the boys 60 out
to walk, play or ride, till tea time.
Then comes the pi operations for the les
son tomorrow, and then to bed. Such,
according to the English papers, is the
daily life of the Queens children and
when we add that, morning and evening,
they are trained in the truths of religion,
we believe we have before US the fact,
that the first family in the empire is
regulated in fashion which it were we'll
for good many other families if they
would but initiate.

A PRAcTrcAL JoKE.-A crowd Of
hackmen, upon the arrival of the express
train at this city yesterday noon, gath.
cred around a passenger who was seem-
ingly in great haste to be carried to some
particular part of the city with his carpet

oficious Jehus. At length, unable to en-
dure the suspense any longer, he enquired
the charge for conveying passenger to
the City Hotel, and was Immediately in

LET THE CHILDREN SINa.-The editor
of the American Magazine, in speaking
of vocal music, says =
"All children can learn to sing, if
they commence in season. In Germn-
ny, every child is taught to cse its
voice while young. In their schools,
all join in singing, as regular exercise,
as much as they attend to the study of
geography aud in their churches sing
ing is not confined to the choir, chat sits
apart from the others, perhaps in one
corner of the house, but there is a vast
tide of incense going forth to God from
every heart that can give utterance to
this language from the soul. In addi-
tion to the delightful influence music
has upon the character, it has also a
marked influence in suppressing pulmo-
nary complaints, DR.. Rush used to
say that the reason why the Germans
seldom die of consumption was, that
they were always singing"

QUOTING BRITISH AUTHORI-
TIES.

British authorities for reference in
doubtful points of law. The late Judge
Daniels of Virginia, used to tell with
great glee, how, when a young man on a
circuit, he saved clients life solely be-
cause the opposite counsel quoted from
British authorities. 1t occurred dur
ing the last war, when the English squad
ren under Admiral Cockburn was as
cendiug the Potomac river burning and
plunderiag tie villages along its banks,
negro man was arraigned for the mur-
der Of one of his own color; the offence
was clearly proved, and the only
change for his escape was a slight in
formality in the indictment. The pros
ecuting attorney, IN reply to Mr.. Dan
iel's defence of his client, quoted from
British authorities, showing clearly that
the ground taken by the latter was un-
tenable. While he was quoting and
speaking, at intarvals, bangl bang !
bang went the common from the Brit
ish squadron. Daniels rose to answer,
and with great tact seized hold of the
strong point of his opponents cause,
turning it completely against him.
/" Gentlemen" said he to the bench,
" the prosecuting attorney quotes on this
occasion British authorities British
authorities, gentlemen Can there be
any one in this court room, except him
self, SO dead to feelings of patriotism,
as at such moment to listen to British
authorities when British cannon are
shaking the very walls of this court
house to their foundation? pause for
e reply !"
Up jumped one of the justices, highly
excited at this appeal, and thus -ad-
dressed the prosecuting attoney Look
here, Mr.. A., you had better strike
a B line from this courthouse with your
British authorities or III commit you
Prisoner, you can go! Crier, adjourn
the court! British authorities be
darned !'
The prosecuting attorney was struck
all in a heap at these extra judicial
proceedings, and resigned his Office the
very next day.

S m m e r.
By HON. MRS. MORTON.

This is the time of shadow and Of flowers,
When roads gleam white for many a winding
mile,
when gentle brcezes fan the lazy hours,
5 And balmy rest repays the time of toll
When purple hues and shifting beams beguile
The tedious snmeness of heath grown moor
When the old grandsire sees, with placid
smile,
The sun burnt children froic round his door,
And trellised roses deck the cottage of the poor.
The time of pleasant evenings, when the moon
Rises accompanied by single star,
And rivals cen the brilliant Summer noon,
In the clear radiance which she pours afar,
No stormy winds her hour of peace to mar,
Or stir the feecy clouds which melt away
Beneath the wheels of Illuminated car :,
While many river trenbles in her ray,
And silver CLEANS the sands round many an
ocean bay.
oh, the heart lies hushed. afraid to beat
In the deep absence of all other sounds;
And home is sought with loath and lingering
feet f.
As though that shining tract of fairy ground
Once leftsnd lost night meyer more be found :
And happy seems the life that gipsies lead.
Who make their nests where mossy banks
abound
in hooks where unplucked wild flowers shed
their seed
A canvass spreading tent the only roof they
peedl

A You've LADY GHosT-In noticing
book by DR. Robert Hare, somewhat
distinguished convert to spiritualism, the
Independent says:
The most amusing thing in the whole
volume is specimen of correspondence
between the revelation and imagination
of the medium. in the communication on
page IO4. 1t is from, the ghost of .
young lady's medium, and undoubtedly
presents yO~ng 6ady's idea Of HeaOen.
We have space only to allude to the de-
scription which it gives of the heavenly
residence of H. K. White This is the
fifth heaven, (Which seems to be associ-
ated in the mind of the author with the
Fifth aEenue) and Is a perfect love of a
cottage, " embosomed in trees. and flow
ers," about which the grounds are
tastefully laid out" The clematis and
honeysuckle entwine their tendrils around
the trellis work of the door. Within,
it is adorned with "most exquisite :"
statues, and furnished with extraordina-
ry "couches and divans," and 6eyw-ti-
tuI carpets In addition to this there
is the best society in the neighborhood,
such as the Wesleys, Byron, Burns,
Shelley, and Scott" of whom the Spirit
1Iaria "speaks in particular, because
she is acquainted with them, being at
tracted to them by a congeniality Of
feeling" Can anything more be wanted
to perfect bliss
