12- R. Phelps. M. D.-
Dear Sir,—lt gives me great pleasure in being able to
state to you uiy opinion, and the rc.~:t.ill of my experience
of your Compound 'l‘oinato Pills. You must be aware
that. like our profession generally, I am prejudiced
against all rcniedios usually denominated “patent medi-
cines," but henriiig your Pills hi;:hly extolled by some
of my friends, I was induced to procure it few boxes and
give them a. trial; and this I was the more inclined to
do, front my intimate knowledge of; and confidence ‘in,
your moral and professional character.
I have rescribed your Pills in cases of bilious rt_fl'ec-
tiont, an diseases oftlie liver and stomach, and the re-
gsult has been hi ltl_v satisfactory. In one case particu-
larly. of severe yspeptic symptoms, the relief exceeded
my ll)1$g'§al'l;{lIllte expectations. _
Judging from the recipe, as it was communicated to me;
I should think your compound would be safe in all cases, \
and applicable to most of those in which it is recoin-
atcllde-1. _
I take me more ptcasiire in writing: to you on this sub-
ject, because I understand that great etforts have been
made by persons interested in another medicine, to t_ra-
duce your character as n gcntlcinan, and a. Physician
and to injure the sale of your tnedicine. and wrest from
you the benefits of your labors and investigation, by
charging: you with imposition. qunckery, tire.
You are at liberty to use this in such a manner as
you please, and also to rt-.t‘e.r to me in reward to yourself.
or our valuable discovery.

The changes which the last ttventy years
have wrought in Illinois would be incredible
to one who has not witnessed them. At that
pe}'1_od our settlements were few, and the
spirit of enterprise that new pervades every
corner of the State had’ not lJP€ll awakened.
The bluff of our own beautiful river had
never sent back the eel‘-'3 of the steain engine.
Without £1 market for their produc-9, the far-
mers confined their labors to the wants of
their own families.

in November, was a holiday, and the inter-
vening period was passed in idleness. except
on Sziturdays. On that day duly as it arriv-
ed, the settlers, far and near, collected at the
distill.-ry, and amused themselves with shoot-
ing at a mtirk, ‘trading tings,’ and too often
when the tin cup had passed freely around,
fig/Ll'£7zg. _
This, sir, is by no means a picture of all
the settlements oftltat early period, but that it
is graphically true of many, none of our
oldest settlers need deny. But to my nrirrative
One Saturday afternoon in the year 1819,
at young man was seen approacliing with
slow and weary steps, the house, 0)‘ rather
thedistillery, of Squire Crosby, of Brent’s
Prairie, an obscure settlement on the Mili-
tary Tract. As usual on that day,‘ a large
collection ofpeople were amusing themselves
at Ci‘osby’s who owtied the only distillery in
that_region—-was a magistrate and regariled
by the settlers as :1 rich and a great man. ,
The youth who came tip tothe group was
apparently about twenty-one years ofage, of
slender form, fair and delicate complexion,
with the air of one accustomed to good so-
ciety. It was evident at a glance that he
was not inured to the. hardships of it frontier
life, or labor of anykind. But his dress bore
a strange contrast with his appearance and
manners. He wore a hunting shirt, of the
coarsest linsey woolsey, :1 common straw hat,
and a pair of deerskiu moccasins. A large
pack completed his equipment.
Every one gazed with curiosity upon the
new comer. In their eagerness to learn who
he was, whence he came, and what was his
business, the horse swap was left unfinished,
the rifle was laid aside, and even the busy
tin cup had a temporai'_v respite.
The young man approached Squire Cros-
by, whom even a stranger could distinguish
as the principil personiige among them, and
within it few tears its existence has been deemed
f-ilmlous The one now offeri-.il for inspeirtion was
brought from the vicinity of the VVhite River, the

The remarks of Mr. Davis forcibly re-

the next morning after he became acquainted
iv"t3‘t the design of Crosby, with a treml.lini_',r
hand examined the certificate. It was writ-

Crosby in a moment of ungovcrnable malice,
taunted him with being‘ at ltrggar, and told
him he was now in his power, that he would

smiled at what be regarded only as an im-

Crosby was right. 'I’l'ie putt-iii, beyond all

Crosby eyed him keenly and suspiciously
for a moment without uttering aJ_woi'd —

ed that he was a ‘ Yankee,’ a. name at that
time associated in the minds of the ignorant
with every thing that is base. Mistaking
the silence and hesitation of Crosby, for fear
or inability to pay, the stranger smiled and
said, ‘I am not withoutimoney,’ and putting
his hand to his pocket to give occular proof
to his assertion, he was horror struck to find
that his pocket book was gone. It contain-
ed every cent ofhis money, besides papers of
great value to him.
\ViLhout .'ifarthing——witliout even a single
letter or paper to attest that he was honorable
———in a strange land and a fever rapidly com-
ing upon him--these feelings nearly drove
him to despair. The Squire who prided
himself on his sagacity in detecting villains,
now found the use of his tongue. VVitl1'a
loud and sneering laugh he said-——‘ Stranger,
you are barking‘ up the wrong tree if you
think to catch me with that arr Yankee trick
of yourn.’ He proceeded in that inhuman
strain seconded by nearly every one present,
for the ‘ Squctrr,’ was powerful and few dared
to displease him. The youth felt keenly his
desolate situation, and casting his eye around
over the group, in a tone of deep and despair-
ful anxiety, inquired, ‘ is there none who
will receive me ?' ‘ Yes, I will,’ cried a
man among the crowd; ‘yes, poor sick
stranger, I will shelter you’ Then in a
lower tone he added, ‘I know not whether
you are deserving, but [know you are it fel-
low being, and in sickness and want, and for
the sake of Him who died for the guilty, if
not for your own sake, will I be kind to you,
poor young‘ stranger.’
The youth heard the ofler of Mr. Davis,
but heard no more, for overcome by his feel
lugs and extreme illness, he fell inseusible
to the earth. He was conveyed to the house
of his benefactor and a physician culled.
Long was the struggle between life and death.
Though unconscious, he called, upon
his mother and "sister to aid him. ‘iVlten
the youth was laid upon her bed, and she
heard him calling for his sister, Lucy Davis
wept and said to him—-‘ poor, sick young
man, your sister is fair distant and cannot
hear you, but I will be to you a sister.’ W'ell
did this dark eyed maiden keep her promise.
Day and night did she watch ‘over him, ex-
cept at the short intervals when she yielded
her post at his bedside to her father.
At length the crisis of his disorder arrived

of life or death.

his features, hardly (luring to breatl1e,so'fear-
ful was she of waking him from the only
sound sleep he had enjoyed for nine long days
and nights. At length he awoke and gazed
up iitto the face of Lucy Davis, andfaiutly
inquired, ‘ti:/acre am I?’ There was intelli-
gence in that look. Youth and a good cor.-
stitution had obtained the mastery. Lucy
felt that. he was spared,'and bursting into a
flood of irrepressible, grateful tears, rushed
out of the room.
It was two weeks more before he could sit

the Vt’l’lF’.l'€tl3le old man added, ' it is a season

look to Him who has promised to sustain us.’
He opened the book and read, ealthough the

It was a sleepless but not an iinhappy
night to three inhabitants of the neat and
cheerful dwelling they were about to leave,
and go they knew not where. It was then
that yoitug IVilsou learnt the real value of
money. By means of it he could give a
shelter to those who had kindly received him
when every othefdooi' was closed upon him.
All‘ night long he thought of the Forged
Patent. There were few words dropped by
Mr. Davis which he could not dismiss from
his ltllllll’-—-Llllll Crosby had written to-the rc-
ril owner ofthe land and obtained the promise
ofa deed.
It is now time fortbe reader to become
more fully acquainted with the history ofthe
young-stranger. .
I-Iis Either, Charles \Vilso'n, Senior, was
a mCl‘CIlant of Boston who had acquired an
immense fortune. .At the close of the late
war when the soldiers received from the gov-
ernment their bounty of 160 acres of land,
many of them offered their patents to Mr.
Wilson for sale. Finding that they were re-
solved to sell them, he concluded to save them
from a sacrifice of their hard earnings and
purchase at a fair price all that was offered.
In three years no small portion of the Mili-
up, even for a short time. He had already
tary Tractcainc into_his possession. Onthe

nouncrd it aj'm‘gcr_t,/. .
An o:-zplanation from the young man now
bee-ztme necessary, and calling Lucv into the
it pile of patents, and bank notes one after an-
other till the amount reached thousands.
It was a day of thankful happiness to old
Simon Davis and his daughter, and not less
to young VVilsou. , '
Not long after this scene Crosby entered.
His air was that ofa man who has an rnemy
He sc-.ii'ce,ly noticed Wilson except with a
look of contempt. After pouring out all his
maledictions upon the lainily, he advised
them to leave iinmediately. The old man
enquired if he would give him nothing for
the improvements he had made? The un-
swer was ‘not it-cent.’ You certainly would
not, said X-Vilson, drive this old man and__
daughter pennyless into the world. ,
“What is that to you,’ replied Crosby,
with a look of malice and contempt.
"I will answer you that question, said
IVilson,” and acquainted him with what the
reader already has learnt. Crosby. at first
he saw that all his sclimes of villainy were
defeated, and proof of his having committed
forgery could be established, his assurance
fort-sook him. and he tltrt=\v himself upon his
knees and begged, first to the old man, then
Lucy, and Vtlilson to spare him.
Affected with his appeals, the latter agreed
to purchase the farm upon \\ hich Crosby
lived upon condition of his instantly leaving
the country. He accepted the terms and
with his family fled to Texas. .-
Why should I spin out the narrative.-—-
Lucy and'Charles were married, and tkouglft
a splendid mansion soon rose up on the farin
of Mr. Davis, both loved far better the little
room where she had so long and anxiously
watched over the sick bed of the homeless
stranger. Mr. Vllilson was rich, but never
forgot those who were in want, V
Cheered by the kind and affectionate atten-
tion ofhis Children. Old Simon Davis almost
seemed to have renewed his existence. He
lived many years and long enough to tell the
bright eyed son of Charles and Lucy the sta-
ry oftheforged deed. And when he told
the listening boy how his fatlier, when poor
and friendless, was taken home and kindly
treated and in turn became their benefactor,

that "even a cup of cold water givrn from
a pure motive shall not lose its reward_.”

dead body of her husban l. »
The Dutchman was drivingan unmanage-

and ran away with him. His poor wife saw
the danger, but she could not stop them.-H
They were out of sight in a moment, and
she, with her children and neighbors, went
in pursuit. They soon came to the scatter-
ed fragments of the waggon, and at a rug-
ged turn in the road lay the mangled corpse
of her husband.‘ The agony of the wife
can well be imagined. At length, it was

and as tltcy raised the dead body from the
ground the old lady took hold of the _head,
when she cried out in an extacy of joy-—
“Blessed be God! his neck is not brokel."
