A Preachers stratagem.

1t is said that, at one time, when Lor
MO Dow preached under large spruce
zine, in South Carolina, he announced
mother appointment for preaching in
he same place on that day twelve months.
The year passed, and as Lorenzo was en-
ering the neighborhood the evening
preceding his appointment, he overlook
colored boy who was blowing long tin
horn, and could send forth blast with
rise, swell, and cadence, which,waked the
echoes of the distant hills.
Calling aside the blower, Dow said to
him:
whats your name, sir?"
"My name-Gabriel sir" replied the
brother in ebony.
"Well Gabriel, have you been to
church hill?
Yes, massa, Use been dar many
time"
"Do you remember big spruse pine
on the hill ?"
"oh, yes, massa, I knows dat pine
tree
"Did you know that Lorenzo Dow had
an appointment to preach under that
tree tomorrow p
"Oh, yes, massn, everybody knows
dat"
"Well, Gabriel, 1 am Lorenzo Dow,
and if you'll take your horn and go, to-
morrow morning, and climb up into that
pine tree and hide yourself among the
branches before the people begin to gath
er, and wait there till l call your name,
and then blow such blast with your
horn as heard you blow a minute ago,
I'll give you dollar. Will you do it,
Eyes, massa, takes dat dollar"
Gabriel, like Zaccheus, was hid away
in the tree-top in fine time. An i'm
mense concourse of persons, of all sizes
and colors, assembled at the appointed
hour, and Dow preached on the Judge
ment of the last day. BY his power of
description he wrought the multitudes
up to the opening of the scenes of the
, resurrection and grand assizes, at the
call of the trumpet which we're to awake
the nations.
"Then," said he Suppose, my dying
friends, that this should be the hour.
Suppose you should hear, at this mo-
ment, the sound of Gabriel's trumpet. y
Sure enough atthat moment the trump
of Gabriel sounded. The women Shrek
ed and many tainted; the men sprang up
and stood aghast; some ran; others fell
and called for mercy; and all felt, for a
time, that the judgement was sent, and
the books were opened. Dow stood and
watched the driving storm till the fright
abated, and some one discovered the
colored angel who had caused the alarm
quietly perched on limb of the old
spruce, and wanted to get him down and
whip him, then resumed his theme, say
ing:
81 forbid all persons from touching
that boy up there. If colored boy,
with tin horn, can frighten you almost
out of your wits, what will ye do when
you shall hear the trumpet thunder of
the arch-angel? How will ye be able to
stand in the great day of the wrath of
God ?" he made very effective appli-
cation.

whether of short or long standing He re-
fers to the entire Western and Southwest
ern country to bear him testimony to the
truth of the assertion, that in no case what
ever will it fail to cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a
great many cases single dose has been
sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by q single bottle, with a
perfect restoration of the general health.
1t is, however, prudent, and in every case
more certain to cure, if its use is continued
in smaller doses for week or two after the
disease has been checked, more especialIyi in
