Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman: We would
by no means recommend any kind of
medicine which we did not know to be
good-particularly for infants. But of
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup we can
speak from knowledge; in our own family
it has proved blessing indeed, by giving
an infant troubled with collie pains, quiet
sleep, and its parents unbroken rest at
night. Most parents can appreciate these
blessings. Here is an article which works
to perfection, and which is harmless; for
the sleep which it affords the infant is per-
fectly natural, and the little cherub awakes
as Upright as button" And during the
process of taething, IFS value is incalcula-

say they would not be without it from the

Lorenzo Dow.

Lorenzo Dow, it is said, was on his way
to preach in South Carolina, when under a
large tree he overlook a coOrpd lad who
was blowing large tin horn, and would
send forth u blast with rise, and swell, and
cadence, which walked the echoes of the
distant hills. Calling aside the blower.
Dow said to him: What's your name, sir ?''
My name-Gabriel, sir" said the brother
in ebony. Well, Gabriel, have YOU been
to Church Hill?' Yes, massa. Use been
dar many Il time" do you remember
big spruce pine tree on the hill?' Oh, YES,
massa, | knows dat pine tree" Did YOU
know that Lorenzo Dow had an appoint
ment to preach under that tree i0.mor-
row p "Oa, yes, massa, everybody knows
dat Well, Gabriel, am Lorenzo Dow.
and if you'll take your horn and 80 to-
morrow morning and climb up into that
pine tree and hide yourself among the
branches before the people begin to gather.
and wait there till | call your name and
blow such blast with your horn as
heard you blow a minute ago, I'll give YOU
dollar. Will you do it, Gahriel?" "Yes,
massa, | take that dollar" He hid awav in
due time. An immense cOncourse of per.
sons of all sizes and colors assembled at
the appointed hour and Dow preached on
IHo JulSiHeHG OF the laSt day. Nv his
powers of description he wrought the
multitude up to the opening of the scenes
of the resurrection and grand assize, at the
call of the trumpet peals which were to
wake the sleeping nations. "Then," said
he, suppose, my dying friends, you should
hear, at this moment, the sound of Gabripls
trumpet" Sure enough, at that moment
the trumpet of Gabriel sounded. The
women shrieked and many tainted; the
men sprung up and looked aghast some
ran others fell and cried for mercy; and
all felt for a time that the Judgment was
come and the book were opened. Dow stood
and watched the drifting storm, till the
fright abated, and some one discovered the
colored angel who had caused the alarm,
quietly perched on limb of the old
spruce, and wanted to get him down to
whip him. Then he resumed his theme,
saying. . forbid all persons present from
touching that boy up there If colored
boy with tin horn can frighten you al.
most out Of your wits, what will you dc
when you shall hear the trumpet thunder
of the archangel? How will you be able to
stand in the great day Of the wrath ol
God?"
