HEARING ANb PRAY1NG.-How have

HEARING AND PRAYING.-How have l
heard? How have l prayed? Was my
heart humbled by the discoveries of sin from
the Word? Was it refreshed with the prom
ises of grace? Did it lie level under the
Word, to receive the stamp of it? Was it
in prayer set and kept in a holy bent to-
ward God? Did it breathe forth real and
earnest desires into his ear, or was it remiSS,
and rowing, and dead in the service ?-Leigh-

PREPARATION OF COMPOUND
EXTRACT BUCHU. The component
parts are BUCHU, Long Leaf, CUBE6S
JUNIPER BERRIES.
Mode of Preparation-Buchu, invan-
no, Juniper Berries, by distillation, to
form a fne gin. Cubebs extracted by
displacement with spirits obtained from
Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used,
and a small proportion of spirits.
1t is more palatable than any now in
use. Buchu as prepared by Druggists, is
of a dark color. 1t is u plan. that omits
its fragrance. The action of flame de-
stroys 4his (its active principle) leaving
a dark and glutinous decoctIon.
Mine is the color of Ingredients. The
Buchu in my preparation predominates
the smallest quantity of the other ingre-
dents are added to prevent fermentation
upon inspection it will be found not to be
Tincture, as made in Pharmacopoe nor
nor is 1t a Syrup-and therefore a be
used in cases where fevor or inHamma-
