GOOD MEDICINES.

1t is estimated that Ayer's berry Pectoral &
Cdtharttc Pits have done more to promote tho
public health than any other one cause. There
can be no question that the Cherry PectoraI has
by It's thousands on thousands cures of Colds
Coughs, Asthma, Group, Influenza, Bronchitis,
&c, very much reduced the proportion of deaths
from cohsumptive diseases in this country. The
Pills are as good as the Pectoral and will cure
more complaints.
Everybody needs moro or less purging Purge
the blood from its impurities. Purge the bowels
Liver, and the whole vsceral system from OBJ
stuctions. Purge out tho diseases which fasten
on the body TO work its decay, Take antidotes
early and thrust il from the system, before it Is
yettoo strong to yield.
Ayers Pills do thrust out disease, not only
while IT is weak but when il has taken strong

The Worlds Missionaries.

A beautiful illustration OF tho infin-
ence of pious seamen on board Il ship,
has just been presented in this city,
Some time since, a sea captain and his
mate were converted, and became mem.
bers Of the Bethel churcA (Bro. Stoves J
He hoisted at once the Bethel flag, and
his mate helped him unfnrl aud keep
il afloat. From that time, theirs became
a model ship, on which the daily wor-
ship of God was maintained. AS re-
turned the evening for worship in the
Bethel in Boston, the season was obser-
we'd in similar manner on the ship
While their church wero praying for
them, they were praying for their crew
and for the church at home. When
Sunday came, it was observed as God 5
day. Whether at sea or in port, the
Bethel flag was raised alofi, and ,egu.
lar services held--tbe Captain oficia-
ting as chaplain.
The influence which these "word
missionaries" exeited in every port
which they entered, may be imagined
but can never be fully known in this
world. They had their simple story of
rho Cross to tell wherever they went.
On their return TO this port, they had
glad tidings for their Bethel church,
While gone, God had give them the
whole crew. When they left this port,
only the captain and mate were chris
tians; when they returned, the two
praying souls had been increased to
SeUea.
1t was an intensely interesting scene
al the Bethel on Wednesday evening
of last week. as these two officers
brought in their whole crew, to tell
the church what God had done for their
souls. None present could listen to
their christian experience, as they gave
IL in their simple, bot strong language,
and no, feel that in them had indeed
been manifest the mighty power OF
God. They were the representative,
OF three or four different nations, yet
they had become one in Christ. Last
Sabboth, they were buried with Christ
by baptism. and are now members Of
his church. The lion has indeed become
tho lamb. Like Saul Of Tarsus, they
are ready To 60 firth and preach that
very name which before they persecu-
ted and hated.
This is but one instance Of the reli.
gious influence of the officers Of ship
on the crew. But this influence was
not confined to the ship. In foreign
ports the Bethel Gag was raised on tho
Sabbath morning, and the crews Of 9th.
or ships came on board to hear the
word Of life. We do not expect to see
that glorioos day long since predicted,
when Tho abundance of ibe sea shall
BIO converted TO God" but we rejoice
tina, wo eau already see tho first g'im,
meriog rays shooting up above the dis
tsnt horizon, which betoken its approach.

THE NOBLE REVENGE.


The coffin was plain one--a poor
miserable pine coffin. No flowers on
it's top. no lining of rose white satin for
the pale brow, no smooth ribbons about
the coarse shroad, the brown hair was
laid decently back, but there was no
crimPed cap. with i,s neat tie beneath
the chin. The sufferer from cruel pow
erty smiled in her sleep she had bread,
rest aud health. "
II want to see my mother" sobbed
poor child, rs the city undertaken
screwed down the top.
"You can't--get out of,he way, boy;
why don't somebody take that brstl"
"Only lot me see her one minute"
cried the hapless, hopeless orphan,
clutching the side Of the charity box, and
as he gazed into that rough face, anguish
tears streamed down the cheek on which
no childish bloom ever fingered. Oh |!
twas pi,iful To hear him cry "Oo,y once;
let me see my mother only oncel'
Quickly and brulally tho hard.hear.
ted monster struck the hoy away. 10
that he reeled with the blow. For a
moment the boy stood painting with
grief and rage his blue eye distended,
his lips sprang apart, fire glittered
through his tears, az he raised his pu.
ny arm, and with most unchildish &C.
cent, screamed. "When l am man,
Ill Kill you for that"
"There was coffin and a heap Of
earth" between the mother and the
poor, tnrsaken child, and a monument
stronger than granite built in his boy
heart to the memory ola hear,less deed.
The court was crowded to suifocation.
"Does auy man appear as this mans
counsel 7" asked tho judge.
There was silence when he finished,
until, with lips tightly pressed togerh-
or, look OF strange intelligence, blen-
ded with naughty reserve, upon his
handsome features, a young man step
ped forward with a firm tread and kim
ding eye, to plead for the erring and
the friendess. He was stranger, but
from his first sentence there was 81.
ience. The splendor Of his genius en-.
tranced, convinced. The man who
could not find fliend was acquitted.
"Msy God bless you, sir. cannot"
al want no thanks, replied the stran-
ger. with icy GOODNESS. " '..
Ill believe you are unknown to
me-" .. s..l.... f..
"Man! will refresh your memory.
Twenty years ago you struck bro
ken.hoarted boy away from his mothers
poor coffin. j was that poor, misera-
BILE boy"
The man turned livid.
Have you rescued me then, to take
my life2'
"No, have sWeeter revenge; have
saved the life Of the man whose brutal
decd has ranked in his breast for TWEEN.
~ years.--Go! and remember tho tears
of fliendless chldl"
The man bowed his head in shame.
and went out from the presence Of a
magnanimity as grand to him as incom.
prehensible. and the young lawyer felt
Gods smile in his soul forever after.
