A MILITARY EXECUTION IN SOUTH
WESTERN MTssoURL.-The execution
grounds were half milo from the town,
and when reached there I found the
troops drawn.up on three sides of the
square, while the fourth was occupied by
the condemed and~fring parties. A long
line of mounted :eutinel kept back the
too curious crowd, but word from a
polite little major, who had previously
seen me at the headquarters, admitted
me, and took my place near the Gen.
and his staff in one corner of tho square.
After some time occupied in the prelilni
nary preparations, each prisoner was
blindfoded and knelt in front of bis own
execution party. A venerable looking
grav-baircd chaplain now stepped out
from the staff, and in q short, fervent
PRAYER, commended the souls Of these
poor wretches to the mercy of tho God
before whom they would shortly appear.
Everything was still rs death. Thesper-
feet hush, ii I may 50, was painfully dis
tinct, AID I could SEQ, even under the
grave, stern face CT the General, a soften
ingIook, rs if he were still struggling
between duty and mercy" For mo
ment the silence was awful; then came
the clear command from the, officer Of the
day: "Ready," -'sain,," !fifrer' rart-
hing discharge, puff of smoke, ~ groan,
ana all was over. The ten had paid tho
penalty of their broken oaths. For a
moment all was hnshed, as before, and
YOU could almost hear the lopg.drawn
breath of relief. The bright sun shone
as calmly rs before, but shone ons ten
corpses stiff and stark, where a moment
before wereten mcnsid the full flush of
PHYSICAL health. sseea = ~

The Persian Fever Glar,a,

= - 5SrhaS
For the prevention erre Of Fever and .a-ue
and Bilious Fevers. This wonderful remedy
was brought to the knowledge of the present
rroprietors by a friend who has been a great
traveller in Persia and the Holy Land.
While going down the river Euphrates, he
experienced a severe attack Of Fever and Agne.
Tn discovering his condition, one of the Boat
men took from his person an Amulet, saying,
" Wear this and no Fever will touch you." Al
though incredulous as to its virtues he con-
~';cd, and experienced immediate relief, and
h.s since always found it an e~ffectual pI o,ec-
ton from al m.,-rious complaints.
On further investigation he found that the
boatmen attributed to it miraculous powers, and
said that it could only be obtained from the
Priests Of the Sun. Sometime afterwards, the
gentleman in conversing with a Priest obtain
ed from him the secret of its preparation, and
ascertained where the medicinal herbs were
found, Of which it was compounded. The wond
e, ul virtues of this article have induced a full
!, lief in the minds of the natives in the nirac-
u ous healing powers of Priests.
Since his return to America, it has been
tried with the happiest effect by several Ladies
and Gentlemen Of high character, who have
given it the most unqualified praise. This
remedy having been a specific in Persia for
hundreds of years, for the prevention and cure
of Fever and Ague and Bilious Feyer-is now
offered to the American people.
