Hello! How are you? I am glad ut last
your eyes have fallen upon me. Now that
we have met, pray cultivate the acquaint-
ance, for it is my purpose to interest andto
serve you. Between you and /, though only
a newspaper article, I am ambitious. Hav-
ing q portentous message for all mankind, |
If it be cordially received, it's import truly |
realized and acted upon 1 shall be consid-
cred a worlds benefactor. Could have no
higher ambition, you will admit.
A misanthrope of ample means deter |
mined to end his life by drowning himself.
Going to the banks of the canal, found the
time not favorable for the purpose, a num-
Der Of persons being in the vicinity, and
walk along the tow-path until it was dark.
While doing so, he heard piteous cries issu-
ing from the door of O howell near by, and
unconsciously walked over to the place, and
founda poor family, consisting of a mother
surrounded by several children, who told
him Of their sufferings for food. He took
from his pocket his wallet and handed it to
the woman, reasoning with himself hat he
would not need it. The grateful thanks and
praises that he received from the recipients
of his bounty awoke emotion within his
breast of such a pleasurable character,
that he changed his suicidal intent, and de-
cided to live for others. His future life be-
came replete with good deeds-many a
dark home and heart were made bright by
his presence.
Well my appearance in these columns,
springs simply from a desire on the part
OF those | represent to benefit your news
devouring race: My province is to help
you, your friends, our relations, aye, even
your mother-in-l0,r, if that interesting lady
be not already far beyond the pale of good
influences.
l am sent among men to bear tidings of
q discovery that marks III epoch as impor-
tant to the health of mankind as Newton's
apple and Franklin's kite were to natural
science. The sick, the discouraged, the de-
jected, the broken down, and the despair
ing, may now, all find a cure, certain as the
Jordan proved to the Syrian leper. 1t is
only necessary, as in the case of that suf-
ferer of old, to yfo7ow directions.
The agent which l herald builds up the
system, sweeps the cobwebs from the brain,
and sends pure, invigorating blood dancing
through the arteries, to the music of happy
laughter.
The gloomy, worn-out man of business,
by proper use of this wonderful medicine,
will be enabled to meet trouble and re-
verses like a man. Then, in perfect health,
he will not have abnormal views of the
"Vicissitudes of fortune, which spares
neither man, nor the proudest of his works,
which buries empires and cities i'll a COM
mon grave"
The weak and nervous woman, just able
to drag herself, i'll "moping melancholy"
through duties OF the day, may steal the
bloom from blush roses, and have eyes
bright and sparkling as the dewdrops nest

scabby sores, may be made sweet, cool,
and wholesome as-''that youngster of
