to the afflicted than any of the boasted remedies of
the day. In offering them to the public, the proprie
tor is influenced by no sinister motives of gain, but

g~*f Wlstar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry at
Home.--We have not unfrequenily called attention
to this article in the columns of our paper, and we
have done so with the full confidence that it was a
good one, and deserving the patronage of the public.
We have had a chance to witness its effects upon
some of our friends, which, in addition to the high
encomiums passed upon it by our brethren of the press,
not in paid puffs, but in honest, candid sentiments,
from having derived a benefit themselves, makes
us desirous of advising all those who have occasion
to resort to a remedy for pulmonary affections, to
avail themselves of it. We have too much confi
dence in Mr. Fowle, the general agent, to believe he
would thrust this, or any other medicine upon the
community, unless he had full faith in its efficacy
in confirmation of which the proprietor offers a mass
of testimony from the most unquestionable sources.
Neither would we be understood as saying that this
will always cure consumption after it is seated,
although it seldom fails to relieve the worst cases —
but al this season of the year almost every body is
liable to a cold, which, if neglected, will lead to fatal
results—by taking this medicine, we doubt not ma
ny lives may be saved. —New England H ashing

BEFORE AND THE ELECTION.
BY T. S. ARTHUR.
BEFORE THE ELECTION.
“Ah, Patrick: How are you my friend and
fellow citizen ?” said Mr. R , to Patrick
f Murphj, a newly created republican lorm the
green island. “How are you T” and he grasp
ed the hand of the Irishman and shook il warm
ly. “How is Mrs. Murphy, and all the little
ones at home ?”
“Well, 1 thank yees,” returned Patrick, fa
miliarly. “And how’syer honor?”
“First-rate, my friend—first rate. Woa’t
you take something to drink, Patrick
“Well. I don’t care if I do,” returned the
! willing Irishman, “if it’s only for the sake of
the good cause.”
You may well say for the good cause,” re
sponded R ; “the cause of the people. It
is for equal rights that we are now struggling,
my poor hut honest friend. For the right to
breathe the pure air of heaven. For the right
to think, and speak, and act as freemen. Men
in power are riding it over us, rough shod.
They are crushing the very life out of us. The
privileged few gather to themselves all the good
things in the land, and leave the great multi
tude, the mass of the people, the bone and sin
ew' of the nation, like dogs, to eat the crumbs
that fall from their tables. But there’s a good
time coming. Patrick—a good time coming. A
little while, and there will be a great change.”
“Yds, y’r honor, that th’r wull.”
The candidate —for be it understood, that it
was on the eve of an election, and that R
was a candidate for a seat in the Stale legisla
ture —now advanced towards the bar; they
had entered a drinking-house : saying :
“What will you take, Mr. Murphy ?”
“Onything ye plaze.”
“Say brandy and water ?”
“Fust rate,” replied the Irishman, with feel
ing.
“Here’s to your good health, Mr Murphy,”
said R , as he lifted his glass, bowing with
a graceful and well-assumed deference to his
companion.
“ The same till you,” returned Murphy, fa
miliarly, as he poured half a tumbler of pure
brandy down his capacious throat.
“And now, my worthy friend,” said R ,
laying his hand on the shoulder of the Irishman
and drawing him aside, “ how is the good cause
progressing in your particular neighborhood 7”
“ Ymu’re safe in our ward by a hundred ma
jority.”
“ D’ye think so ?”
“Faith an’ ye are. I was down at McPhe
lin’s tavern last night until twelve o’clock.
There warn’t but three men there that dared
open their mouths for L , and I rather
think their hones ain’t done aching yet.”
“ How so?”
Murphy doubled his huge fist, and assumed
a pugilistic attitude.
“ No fighting, I hope ?” said R .
<]\’ o —no. Only a bit of a scrimmage. There
was a rowdy Yankee there, who insulted y’r
honor; and the way I chastised him would
have done y’r heart good.”
“Insulted me 7 Ah! what did he say 7”
“ Yis; and he insulted the great body of y’r
constituents into the bargain, the spalpeen !”
How 7 What did he say of me 7”
“ He said that y’r honor cared no more for a
poor man than for the dirt under y’r feet; and
that after the election you wouldn’t let me, in i
particular, touch you with a forty foot pole.’ -
“ He said that, did he 7”
“ Indade, yer honor, and that’s jist what he
did say. But if he didn’t feel the weight of a
heavy bunch of bones, call me a liar. He il
have a blue ribbon around his eyes for a month.
It’ll be as much as the bargain if he get to the
polls to-morrow.”
“And so we are certain of your ward 7
“ Sure as death ; and 1 take credit to meself
for one half the succes. I’ve worked hard in
the good cause, Mr R •
“ It’s thejjause of the people,or more empha
tically speaking,the causeof the poor man. The
rich and privileged classes—the capitalists and
monopolists ofthe day—are crushing the very
life out of you. This is the time for effectual
resistance. Ypu must break the chains of op
pression now, or they remain fastened upon
you forever. The country of your adoption
expects much of you, Mr. Murphy. Do not
disappoint her. Remember, that the vole of a
poor man is equal in value to that ofthe proud

eat nabob in the land. Never lose sight of that
fact, my friend. A convert to our side, no
matter who or what he is, a drunkard in the
gutter, or a lazy pauper in the almshouse, bal
ances off one of our silk-stocking gentry on
the other side. Votes are what we want, then
—votes —votes—votes. Let that be ever be
fore your eyes. You’ll be at the public raeet
ng to night.
“ Dade and it's what I wall.”
“ That’s right. And you must bring along
as many stanch adherants of the good cause as
you can find.”
“Trust me for that, Mr. R .”
“ Mr. P is not on our side V*
“He? No—no! He belongs to the silk
stocking party. Whatd ye think he said to me
yesterday? * See here, Murphy,’ says he, *if
you don’t quit this drinking and rowdying
about, and attend better to y’r business, you
and I’ll have to part.’ Drinking and rowdying
about, indade ! —1 knew what he meant. It
was the political matters he objected till. He
wanted to interfare with my freedom, and com
pel me to vote his way.”
“ Is it possible ?”
“ Dade, and it is.”
“ What did you say to him ?”
“ Say till him ? Why, jist nothing at all. at
all. But didn’t I look as black as a thunder
cloud 7 ”
“ Don’t be afraid, my excellent friend,” said
the candidate, laying his hand on the Irishman’s
shoulder, and speaking deliberately. “Do
your duty as a man. and fear nothing. What
wages does P give you ? ”
“A paltry twinty dollars a month, bad luck
till him.”
“For the valuable services of a man like
you ? ”
“ It’s ivery cint.”
“ Possible! It’s little better than starvation ! ”
“ ’Dade, and ye may well say that. It’s
little more nor starving. I wonder how much
beler he is nor ony of the poor men around
him, out of whose sweat and blood he is coin
ing gootd and dollars.”
“ He’s not half so good, my honest friend
You’re worth a dozen like him. It’s you
that ought to be riding in your carriage, instead
of one like him.”
“ The likes o’ him ! ” contemptuously ejacu
lated Murphy.
" There’s a better time coming,” said the
candidate, encouragingly. “ Work hard, and
push through the good cause at this election.
Once let our party come into power, and you’ll
see a change that will be worth calling a
change. There are plenty of fat offices wait
ing for the working frinds of the cause; and
you belong, emphatically, to that class.
” Yis, indade! I’m a working man out and
out ”
“ That’s well known. I’ve heard you
spoken of a dozen times. More than one of
our leading men have their eyes on you.”
“ We’re bound to bate.”
“ But will have to work for it. Don’t forget
that. Our opponents are wide awake.”
“ Och! And ye needn’t tell me that.
Musther R . Don’t I know ? But, as [
said, we’re bound to bate; and we will bate,
And when we’ve won the election, what kind
of an office do you think lean get? How
large will be the salary ? ”
“ Nothing less than seven or eight hundred
dollars.!”
“So much as that? Och, blood er-nouns,
but won’t Ibe iliigant! Eight hundred dollars !
I feel rich already. Who cares for Musther
P ? Bad cess till him !”
“ Don’t forget the meeting to-night,” said
B , now moving away.
“ Niver fear. I’ll be there.”
“ And, above all, be at your post to-morrow.
It is the great day of battle, and unless every
soldier is in the field, the enemy may conquer.
Go early to the polls and vote your ticket, and
then see that every man over whom you have
any influence, does the same thing. A long
pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether will do
the work for us. Then, you know the motto—
•to the victors belong the spoils.’ Good-by,
my friend.” And the candidate shook Mur
phy warmly by the hand, and left him.
“ Pah !” he muttered to himself, with disgust
and impatience, as he got fairly clear of the
vulgar Irishman, “ I shall be glad when this
