SIR: Please accept the HEARTFELT thanks
of a mother who was well nigh driven to
despair by the sad condition Of an only
child. My little boy has been afflicted with
Scrofula ever since his birth, and after try
ing every remedy that was recommended,
and several physicians had pronounced him
past all hope, 1 accidentally heard of your
Sarsaparilla and Queens Delight. It was
90 highly recommended that concluded to
try it, but must confess with very little
faith. He has taken nine Of the bottles You
sent me, and am happy in being able TO
say that he is almost well; and believe BY
the time he takes the dozen he win be per-
fectly restored to health. he has gained
flesh, has a fine appetite, and now walks
two miles 20 school. Ishallalways remem-
her you with gratItnde-

From the New York PSst.l fLfILE
2 A statements abroad that the Princess
Beatrice, Queen Y:ctoria's only remain
ing unmarried daughter, is betrothed to
the Marquis of Stafford, eldest son Of the
Duke of Sutherland. The report has
probably gained strength from-perhaps
originated in-the circumstance that the
Queen has lately been the guest Of the
Duke and Duchess Of Sutherland at Dun
robin Castle. this being, we believe, the
first visit Of the kind she has paid since
her great bereavement The young
Marquis, who is first cousin to Lord
Borne, is, so far as wealth is concerned,
in even a better position than the heir Of
Argyll but whether it would be sxpe-
dent that two daughters Of royal house
should marry into the same family may
be doubted.

Duchess Of Sutherland was one brought

Patrick Henry.

The moment that the United States
had established their independence ON
a firm basis, Patrick Henry, 80 re-
nowned for the bold and active part
which he took in effecting this revolu-
ton, was the first to forget all previous
animosities, and to hold out the hand of
reconciliation and peace. He was q
strong advocate for every measure which
could induce the return of the refugees,
who had espoused the cause Of the
mother-coGatry; and made a PROPOSE
ton in their favor, which was very Sc
verely animadverted upon by some Of
the most respected members of Con-
gress. Among others, Judge Tyler, the
Speaker of the Assembly, vehemently
opposed him, and in committee of the
House demanded "how he above all
other men, could think of inviting into
his family an enemy from whose insults
andinjuries he had suffered so severely?
The following was his prompt and beau
tiful reply: NNeBl
II acknowledge, indeed, sir, that l
have many personal injuries of which to
complain; but when | enter this hall of
legislation, endeavor, as far as human
infrmity will permit, to leave all per-
sonal feelings behind me. This question
is national one, and in deciding 1T, if
you act wisely, you will regard nothing
but the interest of the nation. On the
altar of my country good l am willing
to sacrifice all my personal resentments,
all private wrongs, and l am sure |
should most absurdly fatter myself if l
thought that | was the only person in
this House capable of making such q
sacrifice.
Mr.. Henry then proceeded to show, in
a very forcible manner, the policy of
augmenting the population of country
as yet so thinly inhabited as America;
whose future greatness he thus prophet
ically depicted:
" Encourage emigration - encourage
the husbandman, the mechanic, the mer-
chant Of the Old World, to come and
settle in this land of promise-make it
the home Of the skillful, the industrious,
and happy, as well as the asylum Of the
oppressed-fll up the measure of your
population as speedily as you can by the
means which Heaven hath placed in
your power, and, venture to prophecy,
there are those now living who will see
this favored land amongst the most
powerful on earth. Yes, sir, they will
see her great in arts, and in arms--her
golden harvests waving over immeasura-
Bile extent-her commerce penetrating
the most distant seas, and her cannon
silencing the vain boast of those who
now affect to rule the waters"
Mr.. Henrys proposition was carried,
and every succeeding year proves that
his anticipations were well founded.
America soon experienced the policy of
his counsels; and tide after tide, emigra.
ton has ever since continued to roll
wealth and improvement over her pro-
