THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its Of every variety Of pulmonary disease
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evil
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide iS the field Of its use
funesS, and numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section Of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine Of its kind is too appa-
rent to escape observation and where its virtues
known the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous afec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. Not only in formidable attacks
upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties of
Coins, CoUGHs, HoARsENHss, &C.; and for chill
DREN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine that
can be obtained.

people its quality is kept up to the best that it ever
has been and that the genuine article is sold by

HISTORICAL SKETCH.
4 I I | l. 4,
THE sC0UEGE or con.

In the early part Of the fifth century, when
Che northern or Go'hc nations were hotIy CON
tending with the tottering empire Of Rome for
the dominion Of Europe when new commnni-
ties were settling in Spain and Germany, and
The Franks were beginning in Gaul TO assert,
Grst their ovn freedom, and then their sway
over their weak neigh5ors: when Christianity
was beginning to assert its influence over the
wild tafbarans in the Helvetian norasscs and
m The German woods, and the dawn Of better
day seemed TO gImmer over the world through
the dark shades Of babariSm, superstition, and
cruelty, there crept a Storm over Europe, that
had well nigh crushed and blishted IA It's fury
The tender blossoms Of new civilization. From
the st,ppes Of central Asia, The d"soIate le-
g,ou living between The frozen tracts of Siberia
and the lolv Himalaya range, there arose race
ofmen, who, pouring over Europe, like a swarm
Of locusjs, devoured every green thing, ana Ietl
behind them ruin, misery, and desoIatioo. In
uumcrabla as the sands or the sea shore, PitlIess
as The blast that swept their native pIaius, they
we're in themselves sufficiently calculated 10 IN
spirr fear in the minds Of the halfclviIizei
tribes against whom they turned their arms; bot
the terror caused BY their first arrival reached ts
eliminating point, when they were marsbalied
at last, not by rude, unthnkIng savage, but by
leader who united TO consummate cunning and
dauntless valor, the most unbounded and unrlt-
yng ferocity; king, who, by vast success IN
tie field, and the pitiIess rancor with which
he hunted down his ioes, acquired name pro-
nounced by bis enemges with fear and trembling,
and came to be known throughout The length
and breadth OF Europe as the ''Scourge of God,
tie rod with which an outraged Providence was
supposed TO smite The nations Of the earth.
The Huns, for 50 these formidable strangers
were called, were wandering tribes Of the Tar
tar plains Possessing no fixed abode, they
wandered from place 10 place, as dweiIers in
tents and keepers Of cattle. Their aspect was
hrdious 10 behold They had fat noses, huge
heads, broad shoulders, and huge muscular arms
They were Short Of stature, and their thin legs,
weak and crooked, seemed unable TO support
The huge square bodies ard enormous heads
which appeared rather to belong TO EVIL demons
than mortal men, Thus they seldom appeared

never backward in following the custom. But
on handing out mug OF clear cider, Jonathan

ASHAMED OF HIS MOTHER.

a few years since young clerk was pointed
out 10 the writer, in the city of Boston as an OBJ
ject Of SPECIAL curiosity, for the following rea-
son
He was handsome, but poor and proud. The
CLOTHES on his back and in his trunk were all
that he was worth and perhaps more. His
mother was a pious widow in very humble cir
cumsances, and was mach neglected by her
unianhiul son. He was suddenly taken sick
and dangerous fever followed. He was soon
glad 10 send for his neglected parent to admin
ister to his wants. She came with mothers
love and watched by his bedside BY night and
BY day with mothers tenderness. Providence
interposed and the young man recovered. One
day shopmate called to see him when he in
troduced his own mother as ms nurse He
was ashamed Of her IowIy appearance because
1t disclosed his humble origin, and he took this
cruel, heathenlsh way TO mislead his associate.
Place such an example OF downright barbarity
in contrast with the iial devotion of a Law
renee and it seems like the deed of some untu-
tored hindoo or South Sea Islander. Ashamed
10 confess his humble origin The curse of God
will follow him 10 his grave unless hls lie is
marked by change. Every honorable senti-
ment of humanity condemns such want of affec-
ton, while it proves the opposite in the faith
fuI Lawrence. Men despise the one and admire
The other.

And liberal hand. cur autumn stores:
No drstlings Of our hock we slay,
No soaring clouds OF incense rise,
But on thy haowed shrine we lay,
Our grateful hearts in sacrifice.
Borne on thy breath, the lap Of spring
Was heaped with many a blooming flower
And smiling summer joyed 10 bring

And autumn's rich luxuriance now,

The golden shcaf and laden boneh,

Here wait tilted lords 5ehest,
But many fair and peaceful home
Hath won thy peaceful dove a guest
No groves OF palm our fields adorn,
No myrtle shades or orange bowers,
Eut rustIing meads Of golden corn,
And fields Of waving grain, are ours.
safe in thy care, the landscape Ger,
Our hocks and herds securely stray.
No tyrant master claims our store,
No ruthless ro5ber rends away;
No fierce volcanoes withering shower,
No fell simoom, with poisonous breath,
No burning sun, with baleiul power,
Awake the hery plaques Of death.
And here shall rise our song 10 Thee,
Where heightened wales and pastures lie,
And streams 20 singing wild and free,
Beneath a blue and smiling sky:
Where ne'er was reared a mortal throne,
Where crowned oPpressors never tFod,
Here at the throne Of Heaven alone,
Shall man in reverence bow TO God.
