THE GREAT
REEEEEBY I
Reader‘! have you a Cough. which you are
aieglcctingflto cur'o,unde1' the idea that it is only
a comniori cold, and that it will soon w_e.:xr ii-
sclf out? Let a friend tell you, in all kindness
‘-what will soon he the result.
-In a shor’t‘t'ime if you continue to neglect
‘yourself, you will begin to feel a sense oftight-
iiessaml oppression across the chest, :ic*;ornpa-
‘riled with frequent sharp darting pains. Then
a dr-y,liao.king Cough will ‘set i‘n,aiid when you
raise a riytliin_<_.v, it will "be a tthi'ck -and yellowish.
or white frothy riiat‘te‘r'sti'raked perhaps with
blood. If you still take no ‘medicine, these un-
pleasant symptoms will increase, and you will
‘soon have hectic fever, cold chills, riight. swtzats
‘copious expectorat.ion.‘au(l then great. pros'tra-
tion. If you still neglect. your-st-.lf, a few
weeks or months will see you consigzied to the
grave. leiiv»iiig your friends to mourn how rap-
idly CONSUMPTION did its work, and hur-
ried you away. Friend ! have you no cause
‘to -be alarmed 7! In the above sketcli. you may
see as in a glass, how every case of Consump-
tion progresses, with more or less rapidit_v,to a
fatal torniiuation. Of all the tliousands and
millions whom this great <le.stroyer has gatlier-
ed to thetomb, every single case lieg:-in with a

fatal delusion that it would “ wear itself off,” it
transferred its deadly action to the substance
of the Lungs, exciting there the forniatiori of
tubercles. Another, and another cold added
fuel to the flame, until these mrbercles began to
soften and suppurate, leaving by their ulcera-
tion great cavities in the lungs. At this crisis,
the disease is very tlifiicult of cure, and of-
tentimes sets at defiance all human means.
In the l:rtt.er'o:- worst stage, this medicine
will oftentimes arrest the disease, or ciieck its
progress, and will always make the patient
more comfortable, and prolong his life, and is
therefore worthy of a trial ;—but. in its incipi-
ent; or forming periods, Cori:-'.iiriipt.iori is as cu-
rable as any other dlsease.and Dr Rogers’ Syr-
upof LXVPZRWORT, TAR AND C.i.\*ciiALAoUA,

LY as IT is T.~tKE.‘r' I :55; This is strong lan-
guage, but we can refer you to ntrmberless liv-
ing witnesses to prove that it is True! And
therefore, we earnestly exhort every man, wo-
man and child, who has a Cough, or is subject
to Colds, to keep this medicine by you in the
house, and wlic-never you take cold, do not let it.
alone to work mischief in your system, but
eradicate it th.'.:i'oiighly, and at once, by this
powerfully lrealing compound. and leave your
Lungs uninjured, to carry you in full vigor to a
good old age.‘
MOTHERS:
Have you delicate, weakly cliildt'eii," who are
always taking cold, and subject, to Croup '!—*

which did not or'ig.iii:it.eiri ll Cold .’ And when

‘\Ve, beseech you, therefore, as you value‘ the
lives of your chi-ldr'eri, keep this inedicine by

take cold and commence coughing, give it to
them at Once, and rest not until‘ the cough is en-
tirely subdued. \Vo co'nscieniio'n-sly aver, af-
ter the most extended experience, that if this
advice were followed, no child need ever

for the cold‘ would be cured, before it could at
‘rive at this aggravated nnd fatal stage. Let
every Mother, especia-lly, heed well these re-
marks that she may not hereafter, wlre'n'm'nu'r"-'
ning over the early blight. of some cherished '
. blossom, have occasion bitterly to reproach lier-
self.for her crirn‘.nal neglect. It is an old adage
that to be forewarned. is to be l'orearmed.——
Pnretits! sojlot it be in your case.

How happy, in the days of youth,
Rolled every hour away; _. , , . _
When ‘our hezrrts ‘*{_"fer'e ligilit. and facesibright,
And all the world was gay !
When every chord witliiu each breast-,
To love and joy was strung;
Oh! all was hope and happiness,
In the days_when we were young !
And sweet the flowers flint d‘e"cke'd our path ;
All Natur'e’s fiice looked fair;

Nor friends beloved, who faithful proved,
\Vould ever pass away.
Tlieir voice was music to our ears,
Upon their smiles we hung;
Oh ! -all the loves and l‘ett(II3t' ties-,
(lfthc days when we were young!
But years rolled on, and air! how soon
Our brow by grie_t' was shaded ;
Eat-.li vi.-ion bright. fled fioni our sight;
And in the distance faded! I
To teach us, whatour li'e'a'rts have learned

She said I did not Loire.
‘She said I did not love her.
That my heart was cold and stern,
Tlion'gh oft I’ve felt within its depth,
My indignation burn.
She said I did n'ot. love rm‘:--,
Though I sighed as lovers sigh,
And once or twice she caughtfme
Holding cariibric to _my eye.
1 told her that her eyes were bi'iglit,
And ofa violet sheen,
VVlien everybody else declared,
They most resembled green.
“Your neck is like the lily’s cheek,"
I 'wlrispered to her pride;
But. the folks all said I meant
Long after it had died.
Her foot perfection in its shape,
Its smallness charnied the uien,
'I‘li_o_ugli Rice has since declared on oath
She wore ti large-sized ten.
Her teeth were like a string of pearls.
Inlaid with coral fair.
But. then if I rerneniber right:
They were not nurtured there.
But still I praised them to the skies,
And said that they alone
\Vou|d make a king exulting take
Their owner to his throne.
Besides all this~,and volumes more;
That here I dare not write,
I usecl to pay her eritrance
To the Museum every night;
And once she said she could not go
In such a faded bonnet,
And I, good natured fool, went out
And spent five dollars on it.
I gave her rings and bracelets,
Brooches, and ear-rings ri_ch,
Besides a l'or'ty-dollar wirtcli;
\Vitli chain and crucifix.
I've stole on winter eveilings,
“When the night had spread her pall,
'l‘o peep between the shutters
At her shadow on the wall. >
And when I could not see it.
I've tricked beneath the door
A sonnet, always headed
“ To the maid that; I adore.”
Schie hundred geeselizivéi given
Their qui|'s, arid__I should think
As I1){ll)_.V,,,l'etlniS of paper ,
Have been drowned in tears and ink;
Yet she says I do not love her,
And there’s nothing else to do
Save to mourn my ernpty pockets;
Arid learn to think so too.

. MISCELLANY.
"l'.Ԥi'e -Elopexnenit.
"Young man, it is useless to urge this
matter. In declining your offer of an alli-
ance with my family, I am in earnest.”
“I am not content with a simple rejection
of my shit-, Mr. Carlton. I give reasons ‘for
my own conduct, and like to have r‘ea'sons
for all acts affecting myself. Will you say
why I am notdeemetl worthy to claim the
hand of one ‘tvtiose heaitl already, possess?
Is "not my family as good as yours E"
The young man spoke eagerly, while his
brows w'e'r'e knit and his eyes firmly fixed on
2 those of the person he addressed.
"‘William,” said Mr. Carltori, manifesting
a good deal of excitement as he spoke,“I do
‘not ie‘co'gnize your right to demand of me
reasons for my conduct. I will say, howev-
cr, that the lmppiness of my child is in my
keeping as it natural right, and I am bound
re-
gard only her happiness when I decline the
offer made for her hand. I know the hea r:
‘of Jessie well, and know that, if committed
to your keeping, it will be :1 broken heart in
less than five years—"-it rnay be in less than
one.” _
“I love your daughter, Mr.*C«.r'rlt’on-,” re-
'pli'e'd Mi‘. Carlton,” replied the young man
to this. “Why should I break the heart of
one I love?"
“Vvilliarn Levering, such love as yoijrs
falls upon the heart as a blight, not a bless-
ing. I know you well, your principles and
your life——botli are bad.”
Avted spot burned upon the young inanls
cheek, and his eyes flashed. Bu: Mr. Carl-
ton looked calnilyjat him. _
“'l‘l1ink,”h'c added; “picture to yoiirself
one of yoiir :"omp-anions in vice approach-
ing your own sister, and offering the love of
his corrupt he-aft. Would you not step be-
tween-, abandoned as you are, and risk your
very life, rather than permit the sacrifice?”
“N r. Carlton,” said L'ekC'l‘li'lg,l‘lg1tnnot
permit ypu, nor any one else, to insult and
outrage are in tl_i_is way.’’_ .
“ “As you like,” returned the otli‘_er-, cojldly.
You ask reasons for my conduct, but are
not willing to hear them." .
For a short time there was silence, the
young man standing in an attitude of i]‘{-e50-
lotion. Then muttering something in an
under tone, he retired from the preseiice of
Mr. Carlton. I
A few hours afterwards, a servant tapped
softly at the chamber door of Miss Carlton,
the young lady referred to in the brief con-
Versation just given.
“What do you want, Philip E” asked Jes-
sie, as she opened the door.
The servant slipped a sealed note into her
bapd-, with an air of secresy, and then reti-
rat.
Quickly re-entering her room, and turn-
ing the key, Jessie broke the envelope of
the billet she had received, and read {what
was written within. The communication
wasfroiti her lover. _ H
“I have seen your father,” said he, “as
vtiu so eariiestly desired, and the result of
the interview is just what I expected. He
was not content "with an irnfgry-denial of my
suit, but threw me off with sniarting instill,
He says I cannot make you happy. Heav-
en knows how ai-tleritiyl desire to till your
cup with joy; even until it ove.rrun lhe. brim,
If the passionate ltlve of :1 s,iii"cere heart can
make you liappy, Jessie, then your whole
life will be blessed. I cannot iiiiagine the
grollnd "of his dislike towiirds ‘fire. I have
never injured him nor his. This opposition
on his part makes the wi°et‘ched. Are we,
then, to re-maih ever separate? or will you
leave all; and IltI'Ol.‘l7 yourself into my arms?
I sliullawait yourianswer to this it1 the wild-
est impatience. Wflen you make up your
mind, place your answer in the hands of
Philip. V He will keep our secret in violate;
for he‘ is under obligations to the of the
strongest cliaracterr” _ _ V
“My heart is wholly yours,” wrote. Jessie,
in reply. _ _ A ,
“Shall limit and person longer be separa-
ted '3” answered Levering. “To-morrow
week; I hear, your father will l'ca‘i'e home. to
be gone s'ei'cr‘al days. This I learn from
Philip. Vllhat better bpportunity to pass
from his protection to mine 2" I
Two days elapsed, and then the maiden
wrote —“Let it be as you desire.”
VVeak and foolish maiden! In that deci-
sion, Irow much was involved! Not the
hnppitiess ofja day or a‘ year, but, it inigtit
be, of a whole lifetime.
What Mr. Carlton had said to Levering
of his pi'inc:iples anil his family were true.—'
Both werebad, and very bad. He did not
truly love Jessie, for of that be wasincap‘-able
No man who lac.-rs virtue can love a woman
truly. It is :1 moral iuipo’ssib‘ility.
Levering had first turned his tlioiights to
m‘arr'iage because it was necess:z.r_v. as he
said to himself to form such‘ an alliance.—
He belo‘n’ged to a_wcaltli'y faintly, and, by
n‘iarryiug ir'i'to‘a family of equal wealth a_u’d
standing, he would take proper care of the
future. Of course, he must have a beauti-
around him, no one struck the-yoziing i'iian’s
fancy so strongly as Jessie Carlton ; and, af-
ter weigbi'n'g all in favor and against an alli-
aiiceavith her famil *, decided to storm‘ the
citadel of her heart. Handsome,‘ intelligent
and with It good address’, he was not long in
making the impression‘ he desired. Jessie
Carlton's young heart was quickly won‘. W
Philip,‘a serv-.,in‘t in the family of Mr.
Carlton, whom Levering had secured to" his
1"n'teirest, was informed of the i‘nte_ud_8'<l 0l°iDe'
ment, and employed to give such aid as his
‘position’ re'q’u‘ii'ed. Of course,‘ the utmost se-
cresy was‘ enjoined upon him ; and his faith‘
fulness was sought‘ to be secured by threats‘
as well: a’s'pror’x'iises.' But Philip found" it
hard to bear up‘a‘l'o'ne under a secret of such
great inip'o‘rt'ance ; he wanted some‘ one to"
share vviih himthe lreavy burden’. - So, don‘-
ful, and accomplished wife. in looking-
-;-,.._.,_... T .
the house, a female, be divulged to her, af-
ter first obtaining her promise not to betray
vvliat he was about to communicate, the fact
‘of Jessie’s intended flight.
On the night previous to the day on which
Mr. Carlton was to leave borne, he,sat up
late, engaged in ivritinjq. It was past eleven
o’cl'o'ck, when there was alight tapat his
door, which wasopened iirimediaitely, and a
female servant glided in noiselesslymlosifig
softly the door aft:-.-r her.
“Vi’ell, Hannah?” said he, in a voice of in-
quiry, as she approached liim,in-a somewhat
agitated 'i'nann‘e'r I .
Hannah sank into 2'1 chair, so much 'dis-
turbed, that it was some moments before she
could speak. ,
“Mr. Carllon',”shé at length said, “oh, I
have sorrietlling rlreadful to tell you.”
“For I-Ieaverr’s sake, I-lannah, speak _ out

“Nothing has happened yet ; but, if you-

room. ,I have only come to,tr-ll you about it

“Ali! thifrnk you, my faithful Hannah.”
Mr. Carlton spoke in a calmer voice, and
returning lo the secretary where he had been
writing, sat down again. I
“Now,” he acldcd, “ tell inc all you know
about this matter.”
"‘-All Ik.now,=‘ replied I-lann-ah, ‘£1 got to-

“Philip told me, and I’m afraid it is all

After some further conference‘, the girl
left the room: and Mr. Cailton, closing his
secretzrry, walked the floor for the space of
an hour ore r-‘eiiriiig. Oil the ne:‘{t day, great-
ly to the surprise of I-Ianriah, he left home
at the time previously appointed. ,
No sleep weighed down the eyelids of
Jessie Carlton, during the night thth Succeed-
ed. Through the long hours flint intervened
from the time the faintly retired until the
hand of Aurora gently raised the curtain, of
darkness from the east, she either wallziad the
fioor of her charnber or lay wakeful upon
the bed. At the early (lawn, she was to
pass from beneath her father’s roof and from
iintlci his protectioii, coiiiniittihg unto axi-
otheij her destiny. Vfell might her heart
tr’en'ible and grow faint as she tried to look
ihtb the dark future; well niiglit .=l1eSlit'inl<
back, half re-pentant, and hesitate, about the
step she had resolved to take. The silent
liiidtiiglil gives to the wakeful solemn
thoughts. Such tliouglits coins to Jessie;
and, as the winds sighed through the trees or
moaned beneath the eaves, ilseeified as if a
spirit were addressing her in tones of warn-
ili_«_-:_. _
At last, a feeble line of light was seen upon
the horizon , and it gradually widened until
the dawn appeared, lurriedly throwing a
shawl around her, Jessie stood for some min-
Utes near the window, as if arvaiting an ex-
pectant siunal. Presently,'a hand was laid
upon the oclt. Silently crossing the room,
she opened the door. Philip stood there
with his finger on his lip.
“Is all right?" asked Jessie, in a low,
agitated whisper. _V _
“All is right,” returned the man. “ Be
is waiting‘ for you.” _ _
Gliding througli the door, Jessie went
noiselessly down stairs. As she passed into
the open air, Levering received her, liand-
ing, as he did so, a purse of money to the
tr'ea<:iierous servrint as his promised reward.
A few minutes prior to this, a scene even
more exciting took place a .slio'rt distance
from the mansion of Mr. Cailtoii, where a
carriage stood in waiting for the fugitive;—-
The driver bad left his box, ,afid “'33 =‘l3"dl"S
near his horses, when, suddenly, a man was
by his side, pistol in hand, uttei‘in,z,' in a
low, peremptory voice, “Silence, and you
ilI"e Safe!” , , .
The driver started back a few paces in
alarm ; while the stranger wlio had presented
his weapon,‘ kept it directed towa'rv.ls him.
“ New leave these grounds as quickly as
you can go,” said the intruder. . ,
'I‘li‘e‘drivéi‘ liesitated, when the sharp click
of the pistol-lock was heard. A __
“ G0,»; instantly I” repeated the man.-—
“ Your horses and carriage are safe. YOU
will find them at the Stag and I-Ionnd in an’
hour from this. Now go, if you set the
value of a hair upon your life.” . v
The driver, this time ‘thoroughly
alarmed, fled‘. As soon‘ ‘as _lie had left the
ground, the st'r-anger mouritérl the box and
grasped the reins. I-Iardiy had be taken his
place,ere Levering and Jessie appeared,‘ and
h‘urriedl'y entered the carriage. _

minutes, the horses were I'eI_n6d up at thé

sprang from the carriage, and lifting ‘Jessie;
as she attempted to descend, actually boré
her in his arms across the payement and into

and llleh turning away, entered the minister’s

well-dressed gentleiiian. Fora few moments
he stood, as if awaiting some one, while his
cat‘ was bent to wrirds [lie (.l(_)0r of a rooxn that
opened from_ the passage, to hear what wad
going on within. Then he placed his hand
on this door, and gently pushing it open;
entered. . The young couple were already
on the floor ; and the minister, in his robes;
stood before them, ready to begin the cere'.
tnoiiy. So softly had the stranger 'enter'e‘d',
that no one perceived his presence but tha
piinister, who did not permit. the intrusion
to interfere with what he was doing. Hel
began, and progressed until he came to that
part oftbe eeremony in which it is dem.in‘-
ded of those present to show cause wh»y_tiié
parties about to be joined in holy wedlock

door of the room was thrown suddehly openr,
and a woman rushed in, exclaiming, “ 1 for-
bid rliis marriage!”
“ Who are you, and by what right do yod
speak 2” iiiquiretl the minister, in an agitated
VOICE. .
Levering and Jessie started at this uiieirz

Jessie ,scar‘ce_ly heard the closing wbrds of
the sentence. Ovorome be so dreadful ‘a terl
urination of her‘ elopernerif, she sank iiito tho
artns of her father—-for it was he ivho had
driyen her tp the ininlsler’s. .
Before the vile companion of his evil
hours, Levering ‘stood, for ii ,few moments;
covered with shtiine and confusion. ,_
j “ Now go, young _man',” said Mr. Ctiiltiiii;
sternly, as he supported the form’ ofhib child ;

be yours. If, before, you could deceive her,
into the belief that you were an angel of
light the power of deception is now ‘gone,

corruption and deformity. Go, sir l” _ ,
Confounded by a denouement so pllihful
and huinlltiitirig, Levering; as soon as he
could collect his bewildered senses, sprung
from the room'., he gained the open air,’-
the driver who had been so suddenly depriv..
ed of his carriage, came up. Levering huri
riedly entered the vehicle, exclaming-‘-i
“Drive me home I” _
The man needed not a second iiivitation to
mount. his box Quick as thought, he had.
the ieiris in his hands; and the horses were
soon springing before him at a gallop. _ _
_ The reader doifbtless uriderslafids all this
without further irxplanation; and Levering
had but few inquiries to make ere he compre-
lienderl the vvffole affair to more than his
entire satisfaction: As for Jessie, ‘she, too;
understood enough to make her heart sink in
her bosom and tremble, whenever she thought
of the nai‘i-ow escape she made from an alli-‘
ance that could only have produced wretch-
