RACINE, Wis, Nov. Cd, 1858.
To Dr.. HERRIcK, Albany, N. Y.-Dear sir:
cannot refrain from informing you of the wonder
full effects of your SUGAR COATED PILLS on a
boy living with me. While hard at work drawing
cord wood, he fell to the earth as if in fit, was
insensible and partially cold. We carried him to
the house and sent for doctor, who bled him and
gave him some medicine. He remained all night
in the same situation. The doctsr said he would
die, and left him. My wife insisted upon giving
him some of your Pills. We administered four in
FIVE hours, and shortly after two more, rubbing
him with hot brandy and mustard. The Pills
operated powerfully. At four o'clock in the after
noon he opened his eyes and spoke, commenced
getting better, and in three days went to work.
More than fifty of our citizens saw the boy, and
will testify to what have said. You are stranger
to me, but l thought would write.
Yours, ALEXANDER MORTON.

A GREAT MEDICINE FOR FEMALE

A GREAT MEDICINE FOR FEMALES.
Hundreds of stimulants have been invented and
sold, purporting to be specific in the various dis
eases aud arrangements to which the delicate
form of woman render her subject The result of
all these stimulants has been to impart monentary
actirity to the nervous system, and false vigor to
the muscles; but this relief has been succeeded by
depression and prostration greater than before /;
and the repeated attempts of inyalids to build
themselves up by these false remedies, have finally
ended in destroying what little vital organization
was left But in using "BnrAaces Holland
Bitters," you will find such disastrous results.
1t is purely vegetable compound, prepared on
strictly scientific principles, after the manner of
the celebrated Holland Professor, BGrhave. Under
its influence. ecery nerve and muscle receives new
strength and vigor, appetite and sleep return, and
finally, perfect health. See advertisement in

tcOMMuNICATED.
Her life was short. The suns of but a few brief
years had set for her.. The rosebud of girlhood
was but just blossoming into womanhood, when
she was called upon to yield up to {" Our Father,'
the life he had given. Her illness was protracted.
Six weary weeks did fever scoreh her wasting
form but amid all her suffering, she evinced such
meekness, patience and resignation as only the
pure-hearted and heavenly minded may.
She was lovely girl; "None knew her but to
love her. Her amable disposition, her generous
loving heart, her quiet, modest department, her
spotless Christian examples won to her many warm
friends-frieads who will receive with deep sorrow
the intelligence that she no more on earth twill
join our number"
She for two years had been pupil of the Cole
giate Institute in the village of Santa Clara, and
although so young, her example, as pupil, was
worthy of imitation. Her studies were to her
source of delight. She was dear friend, an af-
fectionate schoolmate, and a sweet companion
Her teachers loved her, aud it was her pleasure to
yield implicit obedience to her instructors, and to
her parents she was loving and dutiful daug hter
She is gone. ~
"Gone where mortaPs wild unrest
Meier disturbs her peaceful rest"
Fond parents and weeping friends, stay your
tears, and hush the sigh that would complain
knowest thou that thy loss is eternal gain to thy
loved one? She is gone; but
How blest are they whose transient years
Pass like an evening meteor's flight:
Nor dark with guilt, nor dim with tears,
Whose course is short, unclouded, bright"
She was too good, too pure for earth; and the
young spirit has flown from this g tenement of
clay" this vale of grief and tears, to cloudless
realm where all is joy and peace. She is gone |;
bnt this transition called death cannot forever
sever the links that united US There is sweet
thought Ger which we love to linger, as we con-
sign loved ones to the grave:
The thought that when this life is past,
The links death cannot sever
Shall then be made more truly fast.
In perfect bliss forever.v
She was good girl; and to the good death is
but the prelude to unending joys. She is one of
whom we may say: "We have no vices to con-
sign to the tomb of fcrgetfulness, and no faults
over which to draw the veil of charity"
