HISTORY OF THE MACAMOOsE

The use of a solution made from the
barks, which compose this valuable Medi.
cine, as a remedy for disease, is traced
back among the noted Indian tribes who
once Inhabited the forests Of the
Alleghenies.
About eighty years ago, DR.. Alexander,
of Springfield, Pa, and DIR. Saterlee, of
SaIithfeld, Pa, induced a celebrated Indian
Chief to disclose the secret OF It's Compost
ton. They used this Medicine from that
time forward, in all their practice with
every marx of success.
In 1916, Rev. Mr.. Gates, (theu pastor
of the Tabernacle Church in Boston, Mass,
one OF the largest in that city, became
afflicted with a very dangerous type of
Bronchitis, which reduced his voice to
low whisper. By the advice of friends, he
commenced travelling for his health. He
travelled from place to place all through
New England, Middle, and part Of the
Western States and Canadas. He spent
six years in this way always making it a
Fpoint to consult the most noted physicians
Wherever he went. AT the end of that
lime he returned home a mere skeleton
lnd with the prospect of but few days of
bis life before him.
Soon after his return, he heard of this
emedy and sought out and found an aged
nan who knew the secret of its compost.
Jon; probably the only person then living
Tho knew the secret, and obtained from
i'm the recipe. After taking this Medi-
ne short time, it restored his voice and
traces of his disease disappeared, and |
B has been ever since strong, hearty |
an.
We think we do no exaggerate when
say that since his remarkable cure, Mr.,
Atos has preached as many sermons, and
3 worked as hard for the spread of the
bspel, as any other minister in the land.
The name by which this Medicine has
&C been bnowu, " Macamoose," is origi-

REMAINS DIsCoyERED.-A short time
ago, while workmen were making an exca.
vation for cellar drain, one mile north of
Centreville, Montgomery county, Ohio,
they came in contact with the foot of a
coffin that had been placed five feet be-
low the surface, Immediately across the
road bed of the turnpike. The corpse had
been buried in stout, heavy, solid shoes,
md the impression prevails in the commu,
nifty that the man was killed at the time of
the construction of the turnpike, about
thirty years ago, and buried beneath the
road where it was hoped discovery would
never be made.

The customary motion to refer the message

A MURDERER THRICE HUNG -Kufus
b. Anderson was hung in Nevada on the
Both ult., for the murder of Noble s.. Slo.
cum. in May last. When all was ready,
the trap on which Anderson stood fell, and
the wretched young man lay stretched upon
the ground, .he knot having given way.
There Was a was wild cry and rush
forward OF the crowd, but it was kept back
by the guard. Anderson was carried back
to the platform, the moose once more adjust
ed around his neck, and the trap fell. The
knot gave way again, and Anderson was
prostrated insensible. He was carried ND
to the top of the platform, and seated in a
chair. His face was of the pallor of the
grave from which he had been twice
sLatched, and the rope was adjusted the
third time. As the trap fell heswung free.
After slight muscular movement for some
minutes, his soul had passed into eternity.
During the terrible ordeal the nerve exhib.
lted by the young man was wonderful.

Female Piety.

The gem Of all others which encircles
the coronet Of lady's character, is uns
affected piety. Nature may lavish much
upon her perton-the enchantment of the
countenance the gracefullness of her mein
or the strength Of her intelect, yet her
lovelincss is uncrowned until pety throws
around the whole the sweetness of her
charm3-she then becomes unearthly in
her temper-unearttly in her desires and
associations The spell which bound her
affections to thilgs below is broken, and
she mounts on the silent wings of her
fancy aud hope to the habitat;on of God
where it will be her delight to hold com.
munion with the spirits that have been
ransomeI from the thraldom Of earth, and
vrcathad with garland of glory.
Her beauty may throw her magical
charm over many princes, and coniuerers;
may bow with admiration at the shrine OF
her riches, the sons OF science and poetry
may embalm her memory in history and
song-yet piety must be her ornament
her pearl. Her name must be written in
the book of life" that when mountains
fade away, and every memento Of earthly
greatness is lost in the general wreck of
nature, it may remain and swell the list of
that mighty throng which have been
clothed with the mantle of righteousness,
and their voices attuned to the melody of
Heaven.
With such treasure, every lofty gratif.
cation on earth may be purchased; friend
ship will be doubly sweet; and their char
actar will possess a prize far " above ru.
bies life will be but pleasant visit 70
earth, and death the entrance upon joyful |
and perpetual home And when the notes
of the last trump shall be heard, and |
sleeping millions awake to judgement, its
shall be presented faultless be-
fore the throne of God with exceeding Joy,
and crown Of life that shall not wear
away.
Such is piety. Like a tender flower
planted in the fertile soil of woman's heart,
t grows, expanding its foliage, aud impart-
ng its fragrance to all around, till trans.
planted it is set to bloom in the paradise of
God
Follow the star-it will light you through
very labyrinth in the wilderness of life, gild
he gloom that will gather round you in the
ying hour, and bring you safely over the
empestuous Jordan of death, into the
romised and settled rest.
