ASPIRING Miss BE LAINE. A CHEMICAL NABBATTVE. The following is Hr. t lia te’s rocm, delivered be fore the rhi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard Univer sity last commencement: Certain farts which servo io explain The physical charms of Miss Addie De Laino, Who, as the common reports obtain, Surpassed in complexion the lily and rose; With a very sweet month and a retrousse nose A figure like Hebe's, or that which revolves In a milliner's window, and partially solves That question which mentor and moralist pains If grace may exist minim feeling or brains. Of course the young lady had beaux by the score, Atl that she wanted, —what girl could ask more Lovers that sighed, and lovers that swore. Lovers that danced, and lovers that played, Men of profession, of leisure, and trade; But one. who was destined to take the high part Of holding that mythical treasure, her heart, This lover—the wonder and envy of town— Was a practicing chemist,—a fellow called Brown. T might here remark that ’lavas doubted by many, Tn regard to the heart, it Miss Addie had any; But no one could look in that eloquent face. With its exquisite outline, and features of grace. And mark,througli the transparent skin,how the tide Fbbed and flowed at tin- impulse of passion or pride; None could look who believed iu the blood’s circula tion Vs argued by Harvey, but saw confirmation. That here, at least, Nature had triumphed o’er art, And, as far as complexion went, she had a heart. But this par parenthesis. Brown was the man Preferred of all others to erry her fan, Hook her glove.drape her shawl.and do all that a belle Hits to t at well. Folks wondered and stared that a fellow called Brown— Abstracted and solemn, in manner a clown, 111 dressed, with a lingering smelt of (he shop— Should appear as her escort at party or hop. Some swore he had cooked up some villainous charm, Or love philter, not in t he regular Pharm- Acopea, and thus, from pure maUn prepense, Had bewitched and bamboozled Ibe young lady’s sense Others thought, with more reason, the secret to lie in a magical wash or indelible dye; While Society’ with its censorious eye And judgment impartial, stood ready to damn What wasn’t improper as being a sham. For a fortnight the townsfolk had all lieen agog With a patty, the finest the season had seen. To be given in honor of Miss Pollywog, Who was jnst coming out as a belle of sixteen. The guests were invited; but one night before A carriage drew up at the modest back-door Of Brown’s 1 and Tab ry; and, full in the glare Of a big purple bottle, some closely-veiled lair Alighted and entered; to make matters plain. Bpite of all veils and disguises—’twas Addie DeLaine. Asa bower for true love, ’twas hardly the one That a lady would choose to be wooed in or won No odor of rose or sweet jessamine’s sigh Breathed a fragrance to hallow ’heir pledge of troth by. Nor the balm that exhales from the odorous thyme; But the gaseous effusions of chloride of lime, And salts, which your chemist delights to explain As the base of the smell of the rose and the drain. Think of this, Oye lovers of sweetness! and know What you -mel!, when you snuff up Lubin or Pinand. I piss by the greetings, ihe transports and bliss. Which, of course, duly follow a meeting like this, And come down to business—for such the intent Of the lady who now o’er the crucible leant, fo the glow of a furnace of carbon and lime, lake a fairy called up iu the new pautamime; And give but her words as she coyly looked down, In reply to the questioning glances of Brown: I am taking the drops, and am using the paste, And the little white powders that had a sweet taste, Which you told me would brighten the gluuce of mv eye. And the depilatory, and also the dye, And I’m charmed-with the trial; and how. my dear Brown, I have one other favor,—now, ducky, don’t frown, Only one, for a chemist and genius like you But a trifle, and one you easily can do. Now listen to-morrow, you know, is the night Of the birthday soiree of that Pollywog fright.; And I’m to be there, and the dress I shall wear Is too lovely but But what then, ran choreT" Said Brown, as the lady came to a full stop. And glanced round the shelves of the little .back shop. Well, I want—l want something to till out the skirt To the proper dimensions, without being girt In a stiff crinoline, or caged in a hoop That shows through one’s skirt like the bars of a coop; Something light, that a lady may waltz in, or polk. With a freedom that none but you masculine folk Ever know. For, however poor woman aspires, She’s always bound down to the earth by these wires. Are yon listening? nonsense! don’t stare like a spoon, Idiotic some light thing, and spacious, and soon— Something like—well, iu fact—something like a bal loon H> re she paused; and here Brown, overcome by surprise. Gave a. doubting assent with still wondering eyes, And the lady departed. But just at the door Something happened—’tis true, it had happened be fore In this sanctum of science,—a sibilant sound, lake some element just from its trammels unbound, Or two substances that their affinities found. The night of the anxiously looked-for soiree Had come, with its fair ones in gorgeous array With the rattle of wheels, and the tinkle ol bells. And the How do yo do’s,”, and Hope you are wells;” And (lie crash in the passage, and last lingering look You give as you hang your best hat on the hook The rush of hot air as the door opens wide And your entry—that blending of self-possessed pride And humility shown in your perfect-bred stare At the ffflk, as if wnndcri ig how they got there; With other tricks worthy of Vanity Fair. Meanwhile that safe topic, the heat of the room, Already was losing its fn shness and bloom Young x-’ople were yawning, and wondering when The dance would come off, and why didn't it then When a vague expectation was thrilling toe crowd, I/’, the door swung its hinges with utterance proud! 'n l Pompey announced, with trumpet like strain, The entrance of Brown and Miss Addie Do Laiue. Sho entered but, oh, how imperfect the verb To express to the senses her movement superb! To say that she sailed in more clearly might tell Her grace in its buoyant and billowy swell. Her robe was a vague circumambient space, With shadowy bounds! is made of point-lace. The rest was but guess-work, and well might defy The power of critical feminine eye To define or describe; "twere as futile to try The gossamer web of l ie cirrus to trace. Floating far in the blue of a warm summer sky. 'Midst the humming ot praises and glances of beaux, T- r- iid n whereversh< ;oea, Er.iw i slipped like a shadow, grim, silent and black, AA ith a look of anxiety, close in her track.

(Nothing more—such advice might be given your wife Or your sweet heart, in i imes of bronchitis and cough, Without mystery, romance, at frivolous scoff.) But hark to the music the dance has begun. The closely-draped windows wide open are flung; The notes of the piccolo, joyous and li lit. Like bubbles burst forth on the warm summer night.

Fried Squash. —Slice thin, dip in e £gs, than flour, and fry iu butter. To Remove Grease from Floors.— Apply ;t paste of wood ashes, keep it on several days, and then wash off. To Clean Lamp-Shades.—Lamp shades may be cleaned with soap or pearl ash these will not injure or dis color them. Some Pickling Recipes.— Radish Pods.- Put them in brine for three days; drain and pour over them a pickle of vinegar, cloves, cinnamon and pep per scalded together. German Puffs, —Melt a quarter of a pound of butter, and mix it well wit h half a pound of flolir add one quart of milk, eight eggs well beaten, some grated nutmeg and some cinnamon, Beat the ingredients well together, and bake the mixture in cups.

Dissolve one teaspoonful of soda in oue cup of milk, and add it to the flour. Cut them out about as thick as doughnuts and fry them iu butter. Onions.— Remove the outer skin of small onions; boil them until half done in salted water while hot, drop them into a Jar of pepper-spiced vine gar. Another way: Soak them for three days in brine; then scald them in milk and water; drain, lay them in a jar and pour over cold vinegar, scald ed spices and a little alum; cover close ly- Sweet Apples. —To half a peck of ap ples make a syrup of two pounds of sugar and one pint of vinegar. Boil the apples iu this syrup until tender then remove them and make anew syrup of two and a half pounds of sugar and one pint of vinegar. Add one tea spoonful of cloves, and the same ot cinnamon tied in a bag. Boil for fif teen minutes pour hot over the fruit. The first syrup may be used for other sauces. Farm andGurdm. A Cheap Ice house.— Throw a dozen or two of old rails or poles on a piece of ground sufficiently inclined to carry off water, fill the crevices between the poles with saw dust, cover with old boards, slabs or barks, get from the saw mill a few loads of slabs, take four, say twelve feet long, notch the corners like a log house, set them on the plat form and you have a crib about ten and a half feet square by the width of the slab deep; fill this crib witli sawdust and pack it down hard. Cut your ice so that it will pack close, and two by four feet; lay it on the sawdust, put on another crib of slabs and fill up and pack hard with saw dust, all around, and so go on until you get up six or eight feet; then put a foot and a half of sawdust on top; over this put a shed roof of slabs—oue end of the slabs nearly to the ice, raising the other three feet. If ice is all that is wanted, it will keep in this manner as well as in a varnished house. In a short time the frosts, aided by rams and and winds, will have scatter ed a bountiful supply of leaves over the woodlands. These leaves can be made to do an excellent service on the farm. They should be carefully raked together in heaps and drawn to the homestead, where a shed or some place can be found in which they may be stored away. They may be hauled in a hayrack by weaving in some corn stalks between the stakes, close enough to prevent them from falling through. A large barn basket is a convenient thing to load them with, and it will be surprising how many loads may be gathered from an acre of wood land. They make a very excel lent bed for hogs, being to some extent the lied provided for them by nature. For sows with young pigs they are the best bed that can be pro cured, as there is no danger, when they are used, of the young pigs get ting entangled in the bedding and crushed. Asa source of manure, they are valuable, they rot easily and have good fertilizing qualities. Elm and oak leaves contain a large proportion of potash and leaf mold, or ihe de composed leaves, make a valuable ad dition to the soil of flower gardens, or for potting plants. Where manure is scarce—and where is it not?—leaves should be the first resource whereby an increase may be made. —Exchange Cheap Wash fou Buildings. —Take a dean, water tight cask, and put into it half a bushel of lime. Slack it by pouring water over it boiling hot, anil in sufficient quantity to cover it five inches deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly slackened, dissolve it in water, and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc and one of common salt. These will cause the wash to harden and pre vent its cracking, which gives an un seemly appearance to the work. A beau tiful cream color may he given to the wash by adding three pounds of yellow ochre; or a good pearl or lead color by the addition of a lump of iron-black. For fawn color add four pounds of um ber, one pound of Indian red, and one pound common lampblack. For stone color, add two pounds raw umber and two pounds of lampblack. When ap plied to the outside of houses and and to fences, it is rendered more du rable by adding about a pint of sweet milk to a gallon of wash. —Scientific American. How to Keep a Horse Quiet who Kicks in the Night.— This most annoy ing habit, which often produces un sightly swellings on the hocks, besides more serious injuries, is frequently the result of nervousness and ennui, and not of vicious propensities. It is a form of hysteria of the limbs, to which others beside horses are subject. Un fortunately the same simple means of cure so efficacious in the horse are not so applicable to the human ani mal. To cure this disagreeable habit in the horse all that is required is to attach a round ball of wood, weighing about two pounds, to the hind fetlock of the limb most commonly employed in this pastime, by means of a strap tw o and a half or three feet long W heuever lie lifts his foot to kick, a blow from the ball at once administers a correction for the fault he is about to commit, and in a short time he gives up his bad habit. This plan has proved very successful. —Edinburgh Med.

A MISSING WILL RECOVERED; A Dyinst Confederate General’s Estates —!B3oo,ttDo Involved—The Will jnst RcstortM to the General’s Daughter. From the N. Y. Sun, Saturday. Henry Dillon, an ex-Union soldier, proprietor of a newspaper stand at Montgomery and Hudson streets, Jer-1 sey City, yesterday received a check for $5OO from the daughter of the late Gen. Stegman of the Confederate army. The circumstances under which the money was paid are romantic. During the war Dillon served in the Second New Jersey Cavalry. He accompanied his regiment on Grierson’s famous raid through Mississippi, and while on a scouting expedition one day encoun tered Gen. Stegman and one of his staff officers. Shots were exchanged, and the rebel general fell from his sad dle mortally wounded. The staff’ officer Hed, but was overtaken and captured by a comrade of Dillon’s. In his dying moments Gen. Stegman requested his slayer to take from one of his inside pockets his will, bequeathinng all his property to his wife and daughter, and a life insurance policy for $40,000. He asked Dillon to keep them and send them to his family. After the war Mr.' Dillon advertised in vain for the owners, and he resolved to retain possession of the papers until some inquiries should be made for them. Recently an advertisement ap peared in the Alabama papers offering $5OO reward for the missing will. Dil lon answered it, and Gen. Stegman’s daughter came north as the guest of Roger A. Pryor. .She related the par ticulars of the long search for the will, the difficulties that had been encoun tered, the production of a forged will by her father’s relatives, and their Mo bile law-suits. She expressed deep I gratitude to Mr. Dillon for the recov ery of the will, and said that through it her mother and herself would be en abled to regain possession of their ex tensive Alabama and Georgia estates. The estates are valued at $300,000. Dillon is to be subpoenaed as a wit ness in the suits for their restoration to the rightful owners. Young Dillon gallantly distinguished himself in sev eral actions during the war, and was one of the few private soldiers to whom Congress voted a gold medal for bravery. Buildings That Are Fire-Proof, The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial has “inter viewed Mr. Millies, the Government architect, on the subject of fireproof buildings, and here are his opinions Mr. Mullet says there are very few fire-proof buildings iu the United States. He ought*to know, for he has had all the government buildings in this country on his hands for several years, and has built the best of them, and it is probable lie has devoted as much time, study and investigation to the subject as any architect to be found. Why, my friend," said he, don’t you know that granite, when subjected to a strong heat, crumbles like dry plas ter. It is the best building stone in the world it will resist time, and heat, i and damp, and rain, and everything else, but it won’t resist lire. Marble is not much better, but it is some; mar i ble will not burn up as soon as granite. 1 Sandstone is about the same, with some i few exceptional varieties.” I “Now, a good many blessed idiots I think that if a vault is buitt of granite |it is tire and burglar -proof. Nothing iof the sort. If 1 wanted to make a se cure vault, I shouldn’t make it of gran ite. A skillful burglar can get into a granite vault in no time," i “How?" 1 Why, with a blow pipe. With a large blow-pipe and a small, sharp blaze well handled, and a burglar can crack a block of granite to pieces before you know it. When subjected to a severe heat it cracks and splits off in flakes, and you can crush it into sand with your fingers. Oh, no, a granite build ing is not fire-proof." Well, what sort of a building is 1 fire-proof?” A granite building," he answered, without apparently noticing the ques j cions, will stand heat a great while, |so will marble a great while. But a wooden cupola, or steeple, or tower must not be put on top of it, like that I on the Chicago court house.” “Granite isn’t fire-proof,” I he continued, but as i said before, it j will stand a good deal. It is probable that Ihe court house would have stood i had it not been for the wooden cupola and the open windows. The Chicago .Tribune cilice would probably have stood it it had had iron shutters out side and inside on all the windows. Yet it is by no means certain, if the tire raged with the intensity that is de scribed.” \V hat, then, is to be done,” I ask j ed, “if granite, and marble, and sand stone are not tire-proof Is not the capitol, the treasury, the post office de partment—are not these tire-proof Why, bless your soul, no Not one of them. But they are probably I safe for all that, because they stand aw ay from other buildings—all except the post office. If we should have much a fire in Washington as that in Chicago I should fear tor the post office build iug. Why, my dear sir," ho continued in a more snappish tone than ever, “do you know there is but one fire-proof government building in the country That’s the Appraisers store in Phila delphia.” it possible? And that is the only one?” It’s the only one I know of.” What’s the material?” Why,” he answered, “it’s brick.— Brick is the only absolute fire-proof building material I know of.” j A Bath of Beauty.— The fountain o perpetual youth is discovered at last!' It is the baths of Schlangen Bad, near Schwalbach. A correspondent, who i knows whereof he writes, asserts most I positively that these waters do have an active and speedy effect on the skin. That effect may he temporary, he ad mits, but then the application can be continually renewed, and the bath of beauty taken as regularly as break last. this is the veritable achievment that Mine. Rachel promised, but failed to perform. Hhe pledged herself to make people “beautiful forever,” a power belonging, it appears, only to Nature and the baths of Schlangen Bad. These render the soft skin of youth still more soft and lovely; they restore some of the beauty of youth to the skin of the matron.” The respect able authority we cite declares that there is no doubt whatever that even a single bath does not really produce a certain,“though temporary,”alteration in the skin. One’s body appears, he tells us, to be converted into alabaster. The effect is strange, and to some persons may be pleasing.” We cer tainly know of a good many persons on whom the effect would bo pleasing on another score than that of mere good looks, yet undoubtedly to alternate from a condition of alabaster to one of Scotch granite might be attended with inconveniences. Incidents of the Great Chicago Fire.— Alfred L. Sewell, one of the most widely known publishers of Chicago, is col lecting Incidents of the Great Fire, to be pub lished by him, in book form, at the earliest possible day. Mr. Sewell’s printing establish ment and business were entirely destroyed, leaving him at liberty to give his whole atten tion, for the present, to this book, which will be one of thrilling interest. Mail to him now, at Chicago, the price, fifty cents and he will send you a copy post paid, as soon as ready. Robert Blackburn, confined in the Franklin (Ky.) jail on an indictment for the murder of John Hoffman, in Simpson county, in 1866, was released by a party of men last week. Phantom Annies. A folio of Apparitions and Wonders, preserved in the British Museum, records that at Durham, on the 27th of September, 1703, when the evening sky was serene and full of stars, a strange and prodigious light spread over its northwestern quarter, as if the sun it self was shining then came streamers which turned to armed men ranked on horseback. J. Edmonson, the writer of the Broadsheet, adds: “It was thought they would see the apparition better in Scotland, because it appeared a great way north the same, he con tinues gravely, “was seen in the latter end of March, 1704,” and the battle of Hochstadt followed it. This must re fer to the second battle fought there, which we call Blenheim, when Marshal Tallard was defeated and taken prison er by Marlborough. But this wonder ful light which turned to armed men at Durham was outdone by a marvel at Churchill, Oxfordshird, where (iu the same collection) we find that, on the 9th of January, 1705, lour sons were all visible in the air at once, “sent for signs unto mankind," adds the pub lisher, Mr. Tookey, of St. Christopher’s Court, “and having their significa tions of the Lord, like the handwrit ing unto his servant Daniel.” In 1714. a man named D. Stricket, when servant to Mr. Lancaster, of Biakehills, saw, one evening about 7 o’clock, a troop of horse ride leisurely along Souter Fell, in Cumberland. They were in close ranks, and ere long quickened their pace. As this man had been sharply ridiculed as the solitary beholder of a spectre horseman in the same place in the preceding year, he watched these strange troopers for some time ere he summoned his master from the house to look too. But ere Stricket spoke of what was to be seen, Mr. Lancaster discovered the serial troopers,” whose apperrance was as plainly visible to him as to his servant. These visionary horsemen seem ed to come from the lowest part of Souter Fell, and became visible at a place named Knott; they moved in successive troops (or squadrons) along the side of the Fell till they came opposite to Biakehills, where they went over the mountain. They thus described a kind of curvili near path, their first and last appear ances being bounded by the mountain.” They were two hours in sight; and this phenomenon was seen by every person present (twenty-six in number), in every cottage within the distance of a mile,” according to the statement at tested before a magistrate by Lancaster and Stricket, on the 21st of July, 1745. During the middle of the last centu ry, a toll-keeper in Perthshire affirmed on oath, before certain justices of the peace, that an entire regiment passed through his toll-gate at midnight; but as no such force had left any town in the neighborhood, or arrived at any other, or, in fact, were ever si *n any where but at his particular turnpike, the whole story was naturally treated as a delusion though the Highland ers sought in some way to connect the vision with the unquiet spirits of those who fought at Culloden, for there, the peasantry aver, hat “in the soft twilight of the summer evening, solitary wayfarers, when pas sing near the burial mounds, have sud denly found themselves amid the smoke and hurly-burly of a battle, and could recognize the various clans engaged by their tartans and badges. On those occasions, a certain Laird of Culduthil was always seen amid the fray, on a white horse, and the people believe that once again a great battle will be fought there by the clans but with whom* or about what, no seer has ven tured to predict.” Shadowy figures of armed men were seen in Stockton Forest, Yorkshire, prior to the war with France, as the Leeds Mercury and local prints record; and so lately 1812, much curiosity and no small ridicule were excited by the alleged appearance of a phantom army in the vicinity of hard-working, prosaic Leeds, and all the newspapers and magazines of the time show how much the story amused the skeptical and oc cupied the attention of the scientific. The Death of Thomas Ewing. Thomas Ewing died at Lancaster, Ohio, recently. Mr. Ewing was horn !in Ohio county, Virginia, December i 28, 1789. He entered the United States I Senate from Ohio in 1831, acting with I the whigs and taking a prominent part I in the debates on the removal of the deposits from the United States Bank. tn 1836 he introduced a bill to annul the instructions issued by Mr. Wood bury, Secretary of the Treasury, direct ing receivers in land offices to accept payments only in coin or Treasury cer tificates. except from certain classes of persons during a limited time. The hill excited violent debate, and was de feated. His terra expired in March, and he resumed the practice ol his pro fession. In the presidential campaign of 1840 he supported General Harrison, and when that gentleman came into power he appointed Mr. Ewing Secretary of the Treasury. In 1819 President 'ftiy lor appointed him Secretary of the In terior, and in 1830 ho was appointed by the Governor of Ohio to serve Mr. Cor win’s nnexpired term in lie Senate. In 1854 lie retired from public life, and re sumed the practice of law. It is not generally known that Gen eral Sherman, when a boy, was adopt ed by Mr. Ewing. The members of the bar at Lancaster knew veny well that Judge Sherman had left no adequate provision for his large family, and it was agreed among them that some of the children should be educated and supported by the legal brethren of the deceased parent. Jn accordance with this arrangement, Mr. Ewing, then in the prime of his reputation as a great lawyer and statesman, decided to adopt one of the boys. At the ago of seven teen, Sherman, through the influence of Mr. Ewing, was admitted to the West Point Academy, and, in 1850, he was married to the daughter of his friend and patron. Hj dropliobia. From the St. Joseph Gazette, Oct. 21. On the evening ox the 18tlx inst., a pretty little girl aged about three years, a daughter of W. C. Kennedy, a police man at the H. and St. Joe depot, was bitten by a dog supposed to be rabbid. One of our city physicians was called in to see the little sufferer, and after tin examination, expressed the opinion that no danger was to be apprehended. A short time thereafter, however, the child manifested symptoms of a danger ous character, ami she was taken to Dr. Purcell, who pronounced the wound a bad one, and advised the parents to take the little girl to Savannah, where there is a mad stone. Mr. Kennedy immedi ately followed this advice, and he says the result demonstrated the wisdom of the course. An application of (lie stone to the parts of the system away from the wound exhibited nothing of impor tance, but the moment it was applied directly to the wound, it adhered with marked tenacity, thus proving that the poison of hydrophobia was in the sys tem. The mad stone is owned by Mr. J. Nelson, of Savannah. Cohn Husks. The husks of corn are very well worth saving. When dried and torn into strips they make excel lent mattresses, clean and sweet, and very sofa and elastic. Plaited into a rope and wound round a central point, they make serviceable door-mats, the manufacture of which w ill furnish pleas ing and useful fireside employment for many a stormy day when outside work is impossible, or for the long evenings of winter. They are worth saving for these purposes alone. British Claims Against the United States The British American Claims Com missian begin their labors n tne sth proximo, and an examination of their Buies of Procedure, coupled with the amount of business that is known to be awaiting them on the British side of the house, justify the assertion of at torneys and claim agents that these gentlemen Commissioners have a life contract on their hands, and that the city of London will have to get anew Becorder, or put up an indethiite peri od with a nominal one three thousand miles away. The existence of the Com mission is limited by the Treaty of Washington to two years, but the nec essity of a promulgation of that term will compel the two governments to ex tend it before it has legally ex pired. The Southern Claims Commis sion, which is charged with the investi gation of the very class of claims that will comprise a majority of those com ing before this international tribunal, has also a duration of two years as signed to it by law; but though by their simpler methods of business those Commissioners will be able to adjudi cate claims at a rate ten-fold greater, they have already ten years’ business on their docket, with but little falling off in the number of claims daily liled before them.

Harris rf* (7-1., Cincinnati, Ohio Oehtixmer- I heard one of my customers speak in such hijfh terms ot Allen’s Luntxßalsam to-day that I thought I ■would write yon the substance of his state ments. He says his mother, who i 4 now sixth years of age, has SUFFERED with CONSUMPTION for SEVER YEARS, and has been under the care of all our best physicians, but never received any permanent benefit then she resorted to every kind of Couph and i.uns Balsam that could be procured tor her, hot all to no avail, bhe still grew worse, until she was confined to her bed and when he was seized with a paroxysm of conghmer, ehe would lose (he poirer of respiration, and they were compelled to resort to various means to re store breathing; and while she coughed so hard slip could not expectorate anything, end the imiiivend friends had given up all hopes of her recover'-. ifer son noticed the advertisement of Allen’s Lung Balsam in the Christian Ailrncate, and they thought they would procure and try it. They commenced giving her the Balsam at. 5 o’clock r. M., as directed, a dose every hour until midnight; then she took another spell of coughing, and expectorated a mouthful of dark, yel low matter, which was something she had not been able to do for some time. They continued to give her the Balsam until morning, and then she. began to ex pectorate freely, and within two hours she had EXPEC TORATED THREE PINTS ot mucus matter. which gave her immediate relief; and since that time she has continued to improve. She now sits up alt day, and can walk about the house and take considerable out-door exercise. Her son bought more of the Balsam to-day, and ho Is recommending It very highly to every one. Yours, respectfully, A. O. JOHNSON, Druggist “Was there ever greater proof of merit than the case this letter refers to ALLEN’S LUNG BALSAM is without doubt the BEST EXPECTORANT REMEDY ever offered to the afflicted public. It contains no opium in any form, and its use is harmless to the most delicate. Directions accompany each bottle. It is .Sold by Medicine Dealers Generally. CAUTION. Call for “ALLEN'S LUNG BALSAM,*’ and shun the use of any other balsam, as unprincipled men may deceive you with worthless preparations. J. N. HARRIS 4 CO., Proprietors, Cincinnati, O.

It is not too much to say that tens of thousands are now suffering from biliousness, indigestion, constipation, periodical fevers, general debility, and nervous affections, who might be restored to perfect health within a month or less by the use of Hostel ler's Stomach Bitters. The multitudes who have been cured of these and other ailments by the use of this well known si>ecific are always ready to testify to its virtue as a preventive and a remedy. They are spread over the whole country they are eager to praise and recommend it; and yet, notwithstanding its vast popularity, there are many invalids, and many who are continually exposed to the epidemical diseases, against which it is a sure protection, who, either through indifference or incredulity neglect to seize the opportunity to cure and means of preven tion, which they have only to reach out their hands to obtain. This is strange; it is one of the anomalies of human nature which it is impossible to account for or explain. It is, however, quite certain that every day the number of these Martyrs of Neglect is diminishing. This is proved by the statistics of the sales of the great remedy. During the present fall the del nand for it has increased beyond all precedent, and it seems as if in the end the entire community would realize the important fact, that when all other medicines proscribed for the above complaints fail, it can and does effect a cure. Asa protection against the diseases most common at this season, there is nothing comparable with it. Happy Relief fob Young Men, from Nervous Debility, Ac. Books and circulars sent free of charge.
