GESTURE AND EMPHASIS. These are two
important adj uncts to public speaking; and
they sometimes tell in n remarkable way
A clergyman was once troubled with an i'll
naturcd, Quarrclsomc wife. She died, and
the Reverend mourner oficiated at the burial
service. Ills discourse was devoted mainly
to the " thousand ills that flesh is heir too"
At the conclusion Of his remarks, he extern
dcd his right hand towards the grave of his
late spouse, and exclaimed, There the
,cic5e3 cease from troubling :" and then pla-
cling tie same hand on his breast, he added,
land the reory are at rest" lie doubtless
gave full and free expression to his senti-
~meuts. n

March 18th, 1856.
| IN happy to inform you that the
glorious cause of temperance has again
revived in our midst. Some three. weeks
since the Rev. B. B. Shelton honored US
with a visit, and delivered quite an able lee
ture on the subject of temperance, and on
~ speak the truth when / say his logic and
eloquence, aroused the talent powers of man.
and famed the dormant fires of temperance
into a fame, and we have all set out afresh,
working with new zeal and increasing ener-
gy. A number of young men have been in
itiated, and last night Bro. Shelton was with
us, and in addition to the number before re.
eeived, we initiated twenty ladies and six
gentlemen, and quite a number yet, we
think, will come into the Order.
va DR.. M'Late s Vermifuge always resorted to
when every other remedy fails.
New YORK, September Is, 1852.
This is to certify that my child, three years old,
was troubled with worms some six months. / had
tried several kinds of medicine, but none of them
done any good; and it was not until I tried DR..
MLane's celebrated Vermifuge that she found any
relief. I gave her the contents of one bottle, which
brought from her a very large quantity of worms,
but they were so completely cut to pieces it was
impossible to count them. Ny daughter is now
doing well indeed she is completely restored to
health. l therefore take pleasure in recommending
it to parents. 1 would say, by all means keep a
supply of this valuable medicine constantly in your
houses. I have known many children to die sud
denly from the effect of worms. 1t also not un-
frequently happens that children are treated for
Group, when the choking and coughing is caused
altogether by the irritation of worms. Therefore,
we say again, keep it always in the house it costs
but little, and may be the means ofsaving life; and
at any rate it will save physicians bills.
