FiftV Years in Chains:

OR, THE LIFE OF AN AMERICAN SLAVE,
WRITTEN BY HIMSELF.
43N Pages, Cloth, Gilt Back. Price 81.
This is the title of one of the most intensely
interesting biographies of the day. 1t is a
plain history of an American slave in the far
South, who, after two or three escapes and re-
captures, finally, an old man, found freedom
and rest in one of the Northern States
WHAT THE PRESS SAY.
The story is told with great simplicity, but
with much power and pathOs. Whoever takes
it will find it difficult to lay it down until it is
hnished.-NationaE Era, Washington, d. c..
a narrative of real experience like the above
will have far more effect against slavery than
the ingeniously wrought novel, however true
to life its pictures may be.-Am. Baptist.
Here is book of facts, stranger than fiction
and a thousand-fold more thrilling; "a simple
tale of lifelong oppression, revealing truly the
workings of the peculiar institution" in our
country. To tho 2tory-loving we would say,
here is a story worth reading. g.-Ntssion Record

What the Farmers say:
\ late writer says that =" the various species
of YerIHln are multiplying ut fearful rate
throughout the land. Their rarages have be-
come a matter of serious drcd." A Postmaster
in Illinois, writing to "Costar's" Depot, saws,
The country is literally 0verrun with them,

State says, "The rats positively gnaw the
halters off my horses while in the stable" An
Ohio Correspondent remarks, They 1.-THE ratsi
are everywhere-in the house, the barn, and
under every stump in the field In the South
it is still worse 4 late order from the Navy
Yard at Mobile was tor thirty pounds OF the

What tie People sag:
NEW York, April -, 1856.
Dear Sir Having greatmany rats around

Dear Sir have used it (the Rat, Roach,

What the Press sag:
We kn0r, by actual experience, that Cos

failed to perform all that is claimed for them.

THE POETRY OF PHYsIC.-Doses have
always been associated in our minds with
wry faces, and medicine has seemed from
the days of childhood, another word for
nausea and disgust. Its remedies were
the worst part of sickness, and pain was
not so hard to bear as the revolving por-
tons we are compelled to swallow for its
relief. Dr. Ayers preparations herald an
other era. His Cherry Pectorat is like
honey on the tongue, and healing on the
stomach. His Pills! Try them-,-they
are sweet morselS to the taste, and glide
