mastery effort, occupying nearly two days in the de-

speaking several hours he made brilliant peroration
which he finished with the following remarkable
words: "And now, gentlemen of the jury, have but

WE beg leave to call the atten-
W ton of the Trade, and more

lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr. ChaS N lanes Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for

administered with the most salts
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTs, SICK
HEAD-AcHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,
preparatory to or after taking Oui-
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
AS specifics for the above men,
toned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad-
ministered in accordance with the
directions:
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PIrrsBURCH, Pa.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de-
termined that DR.. M'Lanc's Cele-
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
and Purest material, and COM
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to
FLEMING BROS. Pittsburgh, Pa.
PS Dealers and PLY ysicians ordering from others
than Fleming Bros, will do well writo their orders
distinctly and take none but DR.. ELdRGs, prepared by
Fleming Bros PntsbTgh, IA. To those wishing TO give
them trial, we will forward per mail post paid to any
part OF the United States, box Of Pills for twelve
threeoent postage stamps, vial of Vermfugs for

THE DYING SAILOR.

An effeeting story is related of young
sailor, who died on board whaleship in
the South Atlantic. James Duboice-
such was his name-had been carefully
reared, but impelled by strong love of
adventure and an ardent desire to see the
world, had gone to sea. The ship had
made prosperous voyage, and was on
her way home.
OF all the men in that ship, none were
more elated than James. He had been
ashore at the Azores, and got few curl.
osities he had been ashore ut Rio and
Cape de Verde Islands, and clambered
up the rocky sides of one Of the Falkland
Islands and he felt already his mothers
kiss, and heard the cordial welcome OF
friends at home, and saw their look OF
wonder, and heard their words of aston
ishmcnt while he showed his shells, and
related his adventures to them. He spent
the whole of the middle watch in painting
with enthusiastic words the anticipated
meeting, and TIE scenes which would &C.
cur at home. Poor fellow, it was only a
waking dream he never saw his mother
again in this world.
The next day we went to slowing
down. the oil. 1t was rough sea, and
the ship pitched heavily, so as to makeit
hard and dangerous work to handle the
casks of oil. The last cask was slowed
and filled, and in ten minutes more the
matches would be down. Duboice stood
on the cask in the main hatchway, and
was passing few sticks of wood down
AZ 4or he he II
rolled deeply to the leeward, a cask of
water broke from the lashings at the
weather rail, and rolled into the hatch
way where he stood, and in one instant
both his legs above the knees were liter
ally jammed to pieces-the bones were
broken into shivcrs.
We took him into the Storage, and did
the best we could to bind up his broken
limbs, and make him comfortable but we
knew, and he knew, that his days were
numbered-he must die. That night as
sat by his birth and watched with him,
he was constantly calling, Mother !!
mother !" Oh, it was heart rending to
hear him in his piteous rawlings calling,
/" Mother! motherl' And then he would
weep like a child because she came not.
In the morning watch he grew calm, and
spoke nationally again. After giving me
his parents address and a message for
them, he slept little while. When he
awoks he babe me go to the forecastle
and open his chest, and under the till
should find his Bible. | brought it to
him, and be opened it at the blank leaf
and looked long and eagerly at the name
His mother had given it to him when he
left home, and on the ay-leaf, was writ
ten by her hand, Presented to Jane,
nuboice by his mother, Sarah Daboice."

me tho book.

Such fog signal, it is believed, would

their power to enhance the happiness o
all. How observable it is that children
thus circumstanced, endeayor to emulate
the virtues of their parents. The peace
and happiness that reigns in and peryades
this happy abode, is not confined within
the limits of its own borders. It's gentle
influence is spread around, and all who
come in contact with it, acknowledge its
potent sway. Oh, that all families were
thus constituted What deal of con.

occasion that called forth the beautiful
sentiment, was his stopping at the house

the following verses, after repeating

But spare Mothers tears.

settled in some ofthe digginsi in that vicinity.
Pat was a strong, athletic man, a true
Catholic, and had never seen the interior
of a Protestant church. 1t was a pleasant
Sunday morning that brother Ingalls, met
Pat who inquired the road to the nearest
church. ingalls, was a good and pious
man. lie told Pat he was going to church
himself, and invited his new-made ~acquain-
lance to keep company thither (his place
OF destination being a small Methodist
meeting house near by.) There was a
great revival there at the time, and one of
the Deacons, (who by the way was very
small in statue invited brother Ingalls, to
take a seat in his pew. He accepted the
invitation and walked in, followed Pat, who
looked in vain to find the altar, DC. AT
ter he was seated, he turned to brother
ingalls,, and in a whisper which could be

his loud whisper, which was plainly hearc
