affection of the lungs. recommended your Syr-

Joyce rapidly wasted away with every symptom of

cough, &c. Fortunately learned that yonr Syr-
up could be obtained at Mr.. Dearns in St. Johns
and Immediately procured some, Showed one to
w. II. Thompson, who ordered supply from you
at once.) This was Tuesday afternoon; at night
he took the prescribed dose, and in the morning
he described the very results notified on the wrap
per. His appetite soon began to return, and vo-
racious one 1t was, too; the dry, hacking cough
changed into loose but violent attacks finally eis-
appearing altogether; pains left his SIDE his hand
resumed its usual steadiness and before he fms
ten bottles his health was quite restored, and to-
day not more healthy person is to be found on

He happened to be in w. II. Thompsons the

recommend or give but yours.

A FITTING TRIBUTE AND ITS NoRAL

4 FITTING TRIBUTE AND ITS XORAL.
The unwilling Of the statue of President
Lincoln in the city of Washington on the
l4th Of April, 1876, erected to his memo
ry by the colored people of this country.
shows that gratitude still glows in the
bosom of men and women, who though
OF darker skin belong to the great family
of man. Eleven years had passed away
since he fell BY the bullet of an assassin
and if monarch would find it difficult to
stand we'll with his subjects when exposed
to the fierce light that beats upon throne.
a Republican President has nothing to
fear who was not afraid to do his duty as
a man and patriot
1t was graceful and pleasing manner
of recalling to mind one Of the purest and
most honored of the Presidents Of the Uni
ted States. He was patriot by right of
birth, and Republican by conviction.
The principles OF the party that called him
to occupy the Executive Chair he felt by
intuition were those only that can hold
the Republic abreast Of time. to give it
the stability 1t needs and It's proper rank
in the family of nations. As the official
head Of the Nation, he was an example of
political virtue; and all his efforts were
directed, after the preservation of the
Union. to heal the wounds of war, and
bring the largest good to the country out
of the enormous evil which had been
overcome by the sword. Mr.. Lincoln
felt that the Republic could not maintain
itself while one half was slave and the
other half free. In the emancipation of
the blacks he knew that he wiped out the
cause Of the war, making the Republic
stronger by that act of justice.
The remembrance of Mr.. Lincoln has
revived the old spirit in the hearts of Re.
publicans. 1t has also directed attention
to the dsloyalty prevalent in the Sonth.
And in view OF the disloyal character of
a Confederate Congress the people will
show that they will not trust the Demo-
cratic party North or South, for once
in power it would again commence its
old effort to destroy the Union in the inter-
est OF Southern ISOLATION The Republic.
