shows at least that there is danger of

side of the account which we must not
ignore. The Democrats are figuring
too largely in the North, and they may.
be altogether in the wrong about the

have any sufficient reasons for believing
that the whole South is going to face

BY MRS. ABBY SAGE RICHARDSON,
When the evening stars come out,
On pleasant summer ewes,
You can hear the little Katydld5
Crying out among the leaves,
Katy did, Katy did,
She didn't, she didn't;
Katy did, She did,
No She didn't, Katy didn't.
How / wonder what they mean,
In the leaves so thick and green,
What the mischief is that's hid,
Which the little Katy did!
Was Katy once little girl,
Who didn't mind her mother?
Was it only known to Katydids,
And not to any other?
Katy did, Katy did,
She didn't, she didn't
Katy did She did,
No She didn't, she didn't.
Was she such naughty girl,
That through times unceasing whirl,
These insects are forbid
TO tell what Katy did?
My darlingon the porch,
Each eve when they begin,
Tries with eager little ears
To understand their din.
Katy did, Katy did,
She didn't, she didn't;
Katy did, she did,
No She didn't, Katy didn't.
But with all their constant cry,
My little one or l
Can't make out the secret hid
The dreadful thing that Katy did

Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints Through a long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mder forms of disease and to young children, it
at the same time the e1ectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan
gerous affections CT the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption Is thought IN
curable still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled. have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectOrdi. SO complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to 1t. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee

Singers and PuOtic Speakers find great pro

asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
