The Balsamic Cordial is entirely Vegetable
production, combining the healing properties of
the Balsam, with the invigorating qualities of a
Cordial, producing combination so well adapted
to the purposes intended, that there are but few
cases of disease which will not, at early period,
succumb TO its healing and life giving properties
For ages, has the treatment of pulmonary dis
occupied the greater portion of the attention
of the scientific of the medical world, but none
acquired more eminence in his treatment of these
Diseases than the celebrated Prussian DIR. Hoof-
land the originator of the Basamic Cordial. His
life was devoted to the production Of remedies
that would stand unrivailed. How well he has
succeeded the American people are able to Judge
and we positively assert that no preparations that
have ever been placed before them, have conferred
the same amount of benefits on suffering humanity
or have elected so many concentrations from all
classes of society, as the remedies of DIR. HOoHand,
prepared by DIR. Z. NJ. jackson Co., of Phiadel-
phia.
The Cordial is designed for a class of diseases
which the people of this country are subject

that Colds are to our inhabitants what the Plague

After All.

The apples are ripe in the orchard,
The work of the reaper is done,
And the golden woodlands redden
In the food of the dying sun.
At the cottage door the grandsire
Sits pale in his easy chair;
While the gentle wind of twilight o4ssf
Plays with his silver hair.
A woman is kneeling beside him,
A fair young head is pressed,
In the widest passion Of sorrow,
Against his aged breast. 1855
And far from over the distance
The faltering echoes come.
of the flying blast of trumpet
And the rattling roll of drum.
And the grandsire speaks in Whisper
"The end no man can see;
But we give him to his country,
And we give our prayer to Thee"
The vioIets star the meadows,
The rose buds fringe the door,
And over the grassy orchard,
The pink-white blossoms pour.
And the grandsire's chair is empty,
The cottage is dark and still =
There is nameless grave in the battlefield
Aud new one under the bill.
And palld fearless woman.
BY the cold hearth sits alone,
And the old clock in the corner,
Ticks on with heavy drone.

Gen. pope,s Repor,---He Gives Reasons.

the disaster of Saturday jointly to the
bad conduct Of Porter and the failure
of Mcclellan to send him supplies.

"Maryland, My Maryland

The CELEBRATION of Maryland" farce
is, by this time, thoroughly "played
out" The confederate leaders evident
ly expected that the state would rush
to arms at the sight of the "stars and
bars" and help them to defeat and des-
troy the hated "invaders." But tie
people of Maryland have done nothing
of the sort. They have remained true
to the Union, and the captured rebel
prisoners admit that not more than
three companies of Marylanders have
been mustered into the confederate
service since the entrance of their
armies into the state. This is a sorry
response to the pretentious proclama-
tions of Gen. LEE and BRADLEY JOHN
SON.
But this was not the worst feature of
the case for the confederates. While
they were very coldly received at Fred
rick, our armyundeE General McClel-
Ian, when it entered that plundered city
on Friday last, was received with wild
enthusiasm. The city was decked With
Union flags, and old and young of both
sexes joined in harty welcome. Apart
from the modification which every
loyal man must feel that the rebel ar
mics should ever have gained a foOthold
in Maryland, it is gratifying TO be
assured beyond all peradventure of the
loyalty of the people of that state. Even
in Brltimore, where there is an undoubt-
ed Influential disloyal element, it was
thoroughly cowed by the strong Union
feeling displayed by the masses of the
people. From this time forth 'Mary-
land, my Maryland" will not be as
popular song as it has been in Dixie.
