CHOW Shall RECOVER MY Health :''

Chow Shall Recover MY Health ?"
This is the mental question asked by the
sick, and after repeated failures. Have you
used BRANDRETH'S PILLS? This is a
medicine which simply "cleanses
the blood and every organ OF the body. This
"purgation" is sure to restore your health, If
pursued in accordance with the printed d.
rections. One who has recovered his own
health by this means tells you to have cour-
age and do likewise. J. J. Cook, publisher
of the Banner for twenty years. at Benning-
ton, VT, says. "Brandreth's Pills cured me:of
dyspepsia when every means had failed,
and was actually given up by my physl-
clans and friends"

been to me; they have cured me, and my

IN arecent sermon Mr.. Beechcr pitied
the devil after the following fashion,:
~ am informed that, before the COM
mutation system was abandoned by
the ferry company, men of property
and goou standing in society would
boldly declare that they had a commu-
tation ticket in their pocket when they
had none. for the sake of going through
without paying! They did this when
the ferryage WAS one cent? I pity the
devil! 1 do not know what he does
with such men! 1t is awful to be chief
magistrate for a parcel of men like
them! l cannot understand how these
exiguous, thrice squeezed men can be
managed!"

Mrs. Lincoln at Frankfort.

Correspondence Of The BOStOn Journal.
AS Mrs. Lincoln's petition for pen.
sion is now before the United States
like to know something of her where
abouts. She is at Frankfort with her
son, who is at school. She lives at one
of the public hotels in very plain and
unpretending style, occupying room
in the third story, keeping very much
to herself, and having the reputation of
being very industrious. She is quite
eco nOmical, and If appearances do not
mislead she has no more funds than are
necessary to make her comfortable. 10
the Americans she speaks very freely of
the good President, her husband, and
ways with tears. Two periods of the
Presidential career of Mr.. Lincoln she
alludes to with great feeling. The one
covers the last day he spent in Spring
field before he first started for Wash
ington. The other is connected with
the last day of Mr.. Lincoln's life He
had "a presentiment when he left his
home ut Springfield, that he should
never enter 1t again. He was tender
but very sad in all his farewells to his
neighbOrs. When he got into his car
riage to go to the station he gave the old
homestead, where he had passed so
many happy hours of his life, long,
fond, lingering look. Turning to his wife
he said "MY dear, take good look
at the old house. We shall never live
in il again-never." he leaned back
in his carriage and was silent until he
reached the station. The day on which
Mr.. Lincoln was shot he seemed very
sad and worn down. Before he left the
break fast table Mrs. l.. said to him:
"You need rest, you are exhausted.
Promise me that you will ride with me
this afternoon at O'clock" and he
promised. Mrs. Lincoln said: "Shall
/ invite some friuds to go !Tith us?"
He said: "NC; let us go alone" He was
unCOmmOnly tender during the whole
ride, spoke of their pleasant home in
Springfield; their early struggles; the
death OF their children; the noble men
who had died in battle; and the dear
friends they had left behind. He
seemed like one on the western slope
and nearing the going down of the sun,
whose joys and the friends of his youth
were clustering around him. The rest
of the story the world knows by heart.
Whatever may have been thought of
Mrs. Lincoln during the heat and con-
tlict of the rebellion, she has won on
this side of the water only friends by
her lady like and retired conduct. The
best friends of America here think she
hasf been treated rather harshly. Mill
;ary men are unanimous in their Opin.
ion that she is entitled to a pension as
much as any soldiers widow, for by
our constitution the President is the
head OF the army and he fell in the
cause of his country.
