The white Pine Compound

throat attended with q dIsagreeable cough.
had for some months previous thought that
| a preparation having for Its basis the inside
bark of white pine might be so compounded
as to be very useful in diseases OF the throat
and lungs. To test the value oft in the case
alluded to, I compounded a small quantity
OF the medicine that had been planning,
and gave 1t in teaspoonful doses. The result
was exceedingly gratifying. Within two
days the irritation of the throat was remov-
ed, the cough subsidized and speedy cure
was effected. Soon after this, sent some TO
aay IN To- n RON H. no oh had been

ten ounces OF 1t, and got well. ]. b. Clarke,
Esq, ed tor OF the Manchester Daily MIrror
case of a severe cold and was cured !mmeCii-
ately. he was so highly pleased with the re-
suits, and so confident OF success attending its
sales, II placed before the public, that he
finally persuaded me to give II q name, and
send it abroad TO benefit the suffering. In
November, 1855, FIRST advertised II under
the name of White Pine Compound. In two
years from that time there had been whole
sailed in Manchester alone one hundred dol
lars worth, where 1t took the lead OF all the
cough remedies in the market, and it still
maintains that position. There Is good rea-
son Tor this; 1t Is very soothing and healing
in its nature; Is warming TO the stomach and
pleasant withal to the taste, and Is exceed
lngly cheap.
EAs a remedy for kidney complaints tho
White Pine Compound stands unrtvaled. 1t
was not originated for that purpose, but a
person in using IT for cough was not only
cured OF the cough, but was also cuIed OF a
kidney dihiculty OF ten years standing. Since
that accidental discovery many th0usa nds
have used 1t for the same complaint, and
have been completely cured"
The above was written by DR.. Poland In
1880: Since then, as in Manchester, the
White Compound has taken the lead OF ali
Cough remedies, as well AZ preparation for
the cure OF Kidney difficulties. IN every city,
town, vi laGe and hamlet throughout the
New England States.
The remedy is as safe and pleasant to take
as 1t Is effectual.

Select Poetry.
SIMMER.

Nature, so beautiful, bounteOus and good,
Shines IN the babbling brook, hides In the
wood,
SprinkIes the hills with glorious sheen.
Sweetens with clover and vclvety green;
Fills with glad minstrrls the branches that ring
jubilee notes, summers soil welcoming
Many the memories awakened again
Beautiful summer, within the mild rain;
Memories like moss in the exquisite dell,
Left IN deep innocence ever TO dwell,
Safe in the holiest shrine of the heart,
Cherished and guarded forever apart.
Memories of home, when the world was afar,
Peering through vistas at trouble, at war;
When the "old bucket that hung in tho well" |"
And the wild rock in The untrodden dell,
Lightning-torn tree and moss-covered stile,
Met the young truant with welcoming smile.
Memories Of mother, so rcvered and dear
Life's loving angel-guardian ncar
Memories Of sisters, gentle and kind,
Loving In feature and loving in mind;
Brother, thy form bounds as gracefully now
As when the chestnut curls shaded thy brow.
Yes, by the magic Of memory given,
Feeling wings back to childhoods young
heaven;
Drops the sad burden of many year,
Wipes from liie's picture the damp of a tear,
Bids all its silvery soBTows depart,
And clasps the homestead again to the heart
Roams once again in the nutcovered grove,
Hears from the meadows the voices OF love,
Lifts the old latch, and tis music once more
To hear the harsh creak of the welco ming
door,
That shuts out lifc's heartache its burden and
tear,
Inelosng generous, the good and the dear.

that out of every 300 men in the United States,
l22 never drink spirits, and lis drink to va
rous degrees of intoxication. Ofthese lis, it
is asserted that 100 drink moderately, but not
drink periodically, called "spreeing;" and 3

adventurer, with stupendous shiny stOve-pipe
towering above his sOaplocks, and wrapped in
a long tailed ovcrcoat. lie walks up against
the hot stove, and thin but fragrant wreath
of smoke curls upwards from his cOat-tail to
the ceiling; whereat the Frenchman replcnish
es his bowl with tobacco and garlic, and pulls
away with the vigor of locomotive. The
column of smoke from the Yankees coattail
assumes a darker hue, and the atmosphere
savors Of tobacco, garlic, and burned wool.
The Yankee glances angriy at Frenchy, and
profanely cxclaims
Darn the blasted old pipe"
The Frenchman placidly removes the stem
from his mouth:
"Oui oui Darn re busted old pipe! and
darn &c busted old coattail, tool Here you
smoke him zees ten, twenty minutes, and he
stink, scare blcu how he stink! and | nevaire

rear and sailed from the room, leaving trail

A Coon CONSCIENCE. E.-There is nothing
in the world conduceth more to the composure
and tranquility of the mind than the serenity
and clearness of the conscience; keep that but
safe and untainted, the mind will enjoy calm
tranquility in tho midst of all the storms of the
world. And although the waves beat, and the
sea works, and the winds blow, the mind that
hath quiet and clear conscience within will
be as stable and as safe from perturbation as
rock in the midst of tempestuous sea, and
will be Goshen to and within itself when the
rest of the world without is like an Egypt for
plaques and darkness. Whatever thou dost
hazard or lose, keep the integrity of thy con-
science, both before troubles come and under
them; it is jewel that will make thee rich in
the midst of poverty; sun that will give thee
light in the midst of darkness, fortress that
will keep thee safe in the greatest danger and
thyself betray it, and deliver it up.-Sir Ma
then Hale.

SLURs on WoMAN.-At a recent meeting in
Boston, at which n0 ladies were present, man
responding to the toast of women" dwelt al
most solely on the trailty of the sex, claiming
that the best of them were little better than
the worst, the chief difference being in the sur
roundings. At the conclusion Of the speech
gentleman rose to his feet and said:
g [ trust the gentleman in his applications
refers to his own mother and sisters, and not
to ours.
The effect Of this most just and timely rebuke
was sOverwhelming-the maligncr of woman was
covered with confusion and shame.
This incident serves an excellent purpose in
pretacing few words which we have for
long time had in our minds to say. OF all the
evils prevailing among young men we know of
none more blightng i'll its moral effects than
the tendency to speak slightly OF the virtue of
women. Nor is there anything in which young
men are so thoroughly mistaken as the low es-
innate they form Of the integrity of woman
not of their own mothers and sisters, thank
God, but of others, who, they forget, are some
body else 5 mothers and sisters.
AS rule, no person who surrcndcrs to
this dcbaSing habit is safe to be trusted with
any enterprise requiring integrity of character.
Plain words should be spoken on this point, for
the evil is general one and deep rooted. Ii
young men arc sometimes thrown into the So
ciety of the thOughtless, they have no more
right to measure other women by what they
see of these than they would have to estimate
the character of honest and respectable citizens
by the developements Of crime i'll our police
courts
Let young men remember their chief happi-
ness in life depends upon their utter faith in
woman. No worldly wisdom, no misanthropiC
philosophy, no generalization, can cover OIL
weaken this fundamental truth. 1t tstands like
the record Of God himsef-for it is nothing less
than this-and put seal upon lips that are
wont to speak slightly of wOmen.-Rev. DR..
| CmuIer.
