FOR A COLD AND COUGH, take it morning
noon, and evening, according to directions on the hot
tie. and tiie difficulty will soon be removed. Non
will long suffer from this Double when they find it cat
be so readily cured. Persons afflicted with a scale- ;
cough, which breaks them o! tiieir rest at night, wil j
find, by taking the Cherry Pectoral on going to bed,!
they may be sure of sound, unbroken sleep, and con
sequently refreshing rest. Great relief from suffering,
and an ultimate cure, is afforded to thousands who are
thus afflicted, by this invaluable remedy.
From i;s agreeable effect in these cases, many find
themselves unwilling to forego its use when the neces
sity for it has cens-d.
From two eminent Physicians in
Fayetteville, Tenn., April lfith, 1851.
Sir: —We have given your Cherry Pectoral on
extensive trial in our piaettce, and find it to surpass
every other remedy we have lor curing affections ot
the respiratory organs.
DRS. DIEMHR& HAMPTON.
TO SINGERS AND PUBLIC SPEAKERS this
remedy is invaluable, as by us action on the throat and
lungs, when taken in small quantities, it removes all
hoarseness in a tew hours, and wonderlully increases
the power and flexibility of the voice.
ASTHMA is generally much relieved, and often
wholly cured by Cherry Pectoral. But there are
some cases so obstinate as to yield entirely to no medi
cine. Cherry Pectoral will cure them, if they can
be cured.
BRONCHITIS,or irritation of the threat and uppei
portion of the lungs, may he cured by taking Cherry
Pectoral in small and frequent doses. The uncom
fortable oppression is soon relieved.
Rev. Dr. LANSING,of Brooklyn,N. Y.,states:
“ 1 have seen the Cherry Pectoral cure such cases
of Asthma and Bronchitis as leads me to believe it can
rarely (ail to cure those diseases.”
FOR CROUP. Give an emetic of antimony, to be
followed by large and frequent doses ol the Cherry
Pectorat., until it subdues the disease. If taken in
season, it will not fail to cure.
WHOOPING COUGH may be broken up and soon
cured by the use of the Cherry Pectoral.
THE INFLUENZA is speedily removed by this
remedy. Numerous instances havebeen noticed when
whole families were protected Irotn any serious conse
quences, while their neighbors, without the Cherry
Pectoral, were suffering from the -iis: ase.
Dr. J C. Ayer: Salem, Ohio, 11th June, 1851.

my own tumily. One ot my dauuhier was completely
cured in three days of a dreatilul W hooping Cough, by
taking it. Dr. Means, one ol out very best physicians,
Irecly states that he considers it the best remedy we
have for pulmonary di-eases, and that he lias cured
more cases of Croup with it, than any other medicine
lie has ever administered.
Our clergyman of the Baptist Church says, that
during the run ol Influenza here, this season, he has
seen cures front your medicine, he could scarcely have
believed without seeing. Yours respectfully,

Planting - -immunity, an assortment of Plows hereto
fore unknown to this State, or the Southern country,
and to which 1 would most respectfully invite the at
tention of every tiller ot the soil. Out of the large
number of persons who have purchased these Plows,
the past winter and spring, more than one-half have
already manifested their entire approval of them as
peculiarly adapted to our soiland climate,and in many
instances, where 1 have sent one or two Plows to a
neighborhood, I have the most flattering encourage

A Vision.
I A SCENE IN SAN FRANCISCO 25 YEARS HENCE.
“ Coming events cast their shadows before.”
“ I would recall a vision, which I dreamed,
i Perchance in sleep—for in itself a ‘bought,
A slumbering thought, is capable of years,
And curdles a long life into one hour.”
1 Met Fought that Time had shot suddenly
forward some twenty years and odd ; and in
manhood’s prime, and life and health, I stood
upon a lofty eminence, overlooking the great
and populous city of Sail Francisco. Beneath
and around me. on every side a thousand lol
ty spires and towering edifices glittered in the
morning's sunlight, and far to the south and
west countless habitations of humble preten
sions. suburban cottages and Jovely gardens
seemed vieing in a common race to cover all
the plain; and from grassy vale and shady
nook looked cheeringly up. or from gentle hill
slope, or clinging to tiie mountain’s steeper
?ide, looked down and smiled. On the north
from North Beach to Clark’s Point, and thence
far away to the south, stretched the unbroken
front of a great Commercial Emporium. At
the very doors of her merchant princes a thou
sand richly laden keels road proudly at anchor,
or passing to and fro did crowd the Golden
Gate, and whiten every ocean with her com
merce. Steamers and sailing craft, of every
class and size, were crossing and recrossiug.
arid moving in every direction upon the Bay.
On Contra Costa the city of Oakland
stretched her snowy front; and thence, both
north and south, as far as eye could reach,
villages of lesser note, ihe rural palace and
the princely mansion, with here and there a
single cottage, with lavish and luxuriant hand
were strewn along the shore. City, town and
hamlet, the hill, the valley, the mountain and
the plain, this magnificent bay, and the deep
blue of “.he boundless Pacific, were before me.
The sky above me was uriobscured by a va
por:
“ So cloudless, clear and purely beautiful,
,p That God, alone, was to be seen in heaven !”
And from the crest of the ocean wave on
zephyrous footsteps wandered to my lips a
breeze refreshing and sweet.
It was morning. The sun had scarcely
cleared the horizon, and already every street
and avenue oi’ the ciiy was crowded with a
joyous and excited population. Men. women
arid children, in gaudy apparel ; the aged and
the youthful ; all classes, castes, conditions
and complexions were mingling in the utmost
confusion. And there was tiie passing to and
fro of squads of military in full uniform, fire
men in gay shirts and caps members ol be
nevolent ami civic .societies in rich regalia and
insignia of their several orders, officers of the
army and navy, soldiers and marines, police
men with badges and maces, marshals on
horseback, in gaudy sashes and rosettes, while
squads of mounted cavalry and lancers were
charging hit her and thither. Ten thousand
banners, of every nation, floater! over the city
and from the shipping in the harbor and the
flashing ot tinseled uniforms, of bayonet, of
sword and lance, of fire engines, arid gay
equipages of every kind, threw back the sun
light. The ceaseless roll of drums and the
clangor of martial n u ic were mingled with
the oar of artillery, which from early dawn
had continued to peal from one end of the city
to the other ; and on the bay', and from Contra
Costa, cannon answered cannon, and in tones
of thunder reverberated from shore to shore.
It was the “ Fourth of July , Eighteen Hun
dred and Seventy-six and on that day repre
sentatives from the several States of the Pa
cific, as well as the people of California at
large, had congregated in San Francisco, for
the two fold purpose of celebrating the 4 Cen
tennial Anniversary oj American Indepen-
and to witness as well the opening of
the 14 Great Atlantic and Pacific Railway
from New York to San Francisco in con
nection with the Great Britain Sub marine
and North American Telegraph Line from.
London The full time for the consumma
tion of a mighty and glorious event had finally
arrived ; which for mare than 20 years had
been anxiously looked for. hoped for, sighed
for. yea died i’or! The hour was near at
hand in which tfie most songuine expectations
and long cherished desires of the civivilized
world were about to be completely realized
and a great •* National Highway” for travel
and commerce, os well as for thought and in
telligence, opened and established front the
rising to the setting sun.
Since the incorporation of the (: Republicof
Mexico” into the American Union, some ten
years previous, or the annexation of “ Canada
and Cuba,” which happened some five years
before, San Francisco had never seen such a
day of rej, icing.
The sun had scarcely reached the zenith,
when the roar of cannon, the sounds of martial
music, and tho approach of an immense pro
cession with banners floating to the breeze,
attracted my attention far to the South. I
turned, and beheld a scone which for a mo
ment rendered me almost delirious with ex
citement. When I recovered myself, the
pageant had approached so near, passing im
mediately in full view of the eminence on
which I was standing, as to enable me partic
ulatly to survey what 1 shall now attempt to
describe.
The terminus of the railway was a double
track, laid some twenty feet apart, extending
entirely through the city, from the south to
the north, and parsing over the spot whore
Telegraph Hill oncesiood. extended (for the
time being) from the Battery far into and
over the waters of the bay.
Supported, on each hand, by an immense
escort composed of an entire population came
the 1 ‘ first train from the city of New Yoik
the departure of which, from that city, had
been announced here by telegraph a few days
previous.
First, came an open car. or platform, exten
ding across, Irom one track to the other, richly
draped and cirnemenied with banners, and
containing a band of fifty musicians, who play
ed ■■ Hail Columbia .” Next caine two splen
did locomotives, one on either track, moving
abreast. On the one upon the right. I read
4> Atlantic on that upon the left. “ Pacific .”
Over these, extending across from track so
track, and for three hundred feet in the reivr,
was a continuous platform, supported 00
wheels, covered with rich and gorgeous ta
pestry.|forming, upon the most magnificent
scale.‘‘a grand Triumphal Car.” Immedi
ately in Iront, on the right and left of this plat
form arose two columns of beautiful propor
tions. about thirty feet in height, and of ala
baster whiteness. On ihe one I read. “ The
Union ” on the other, The Constitution." —
From the tops of these columns, the interve
ning space was spanned by an arch, composed
of the - Coat of Arms” of the several Stales
of die Union, in bass-relief, on separate
blocks of marble ; and upon the key-stone of
the arch, I rea I the familar motto, - E Pin ri
bas Unum.” On this point perched an im
mense spread eagle, glittering with gold, and
holding in his beak a likeness of 4 The Father
of his Country,” in a plain gold setting, en
wreathed witii laurel; white, high above, and
over all, floated the 4 Star Spangled Banner.”
Immediately under the arch, was an alter of
pure white, upon which I read - Freedom
and from the top ol the altar arose a square
shall of while, some lour or live feet in height,
and on the several sides of which I read
4< Peace, Prosperity , Happiness 1 Truth,
Justice , Equality j” “Education, Arts. Com
merce /’ ” Agriculture, Manufactures , Mines.”
On the top of this shaft, rested a vase of pure
gold, without ornament or inscription. In this
was contained water from the Atlantic ocean.
On c ither side of this, stood a beautiful young
woman, in the bloom ofheahh, dressed in mus
lin robes of • iowy whitenesp, trimmed with
gold and evergreens, and bearing appropriate
emblems, typical ot the genius ol £ - Peace ” and
- Commerce .” Immediately in the rear ot
these, a figure representing Neptune with his
trident, was standing in a rich and gorgeous
chariot, drawn by dolphins; and falling from
the rear of the chariot, and strewn the entire
langth of the great platform, were shells and
precious scones, and gold and silver ores. —
This was to typify, that our advancement in
the arts and sciences had induced even the
44 God of the Ocean” to forsake his native ele
ment, and. availing himself of’ human skill to
take the over-land route from one part ot his
dominions 10 another; —and, further that the
commerce ot’ tire seas would henceforward
take this route; while the shells and precious
stones falling from his charriot. seemed to re
mind us that this great undertaking was des
tined to be litteraliy paved with the riches of
the deep. Immediately in the rear of his group,
arranged on either side of the platform, were
separate pedestals, lour feet six inches in
height by three leet square, placed at a dis
tance of nearly six feet apart, and extending
in parallel rows over two hundred feet in the
rear. These pedestals were fifty in number;
twenty-five an either hand, and were emble
matical of the ‘‘fifty free and independent
Stales of the American Union,” which inclu
ded the Canadas on the North to the Isthmus
of Darien on the South, and fioin Cuba in the
Soulh East to the Russian Settlement in the
North West, from the Equator to the Frozen
regions. Upon each of these pedestals I read
the name of a State, and on the tops standing
erect, were fifty beautiful young women, be
tween the ages of eighteen and twenty years,
in the full bloom of health and womanhood. —
These wore dressed in flowing drapery of
white, adorned with roses, and on the head,
each wore a crimson velvet cap. ornamented
with a single star of gold. Each bore an em
blem, vegetable, mineral or artificial, of her
particular star, while an endless chain of roses
and orange flowers in graceful festoons, ex
tended from hand to hand, and was emble
matical of the common interests which unite
us as a people. The blue eyes and fair com
plexions of ihe North in union, though in con
trast with the dark eyes and olive complex
ions of the Soulh. Immediately in the rear
of tiiese and occupying the remaining portion
of the “ car triumphal.” was the President of
the United States, Members of the Cabinet
and Fiends of Departments, deputations of
members from both Houses of Congress, For
eign Ministers, etc., resident at Washington.
Executive officers of several of the Atlantic
States, deputations from all, lastly a delegation
of Aborigines, consisting of the chiefs and
head men of the nations of the plains. Then
came nnoiher detached ear, similar to that
described in the first instance, containing a
band of fifty’ musicians, play’ing 44 The Star
Spangld Banner.”
Thus appointed and arranged, the train ar
rived at the terminus over the Bay. At this
paint a Christian Minister, accompanied by
the President and Secretary of Stale, with
heads uncovered, proceeded from the extreme
rear, through the long avenue of young women
representing their several States; as they
passed along, each successive State stood with
head uncovered, in token at once of their res
pect for Religion and fidelity to the General
Government. This movement served also, as
a signal for the multitude of spectators to lbl
low suit, and who accordingly acquiesced du
ring the following ceremonies.
Arrived in front of the “ Triumphal Arch.’’
the minister briefly invoked the blessings off
Jehovah upon the great enterprise before them,
and for the welfare of the country at large.—
He stepped aside and the Chief Magistrate of
tire Nation having closed the discoursive part
of the ceremonies will) a few appropriate re
marks. a signal was given, whereupon the sis
ters ‘ 4 Peace” and 44 Commerce” gracefully in
verted the ‘ Golden Vase” and tlie waters of
the Atlantic were mingled with the waters
of the Pacific. The Bay of New York was
wedded to the Bay of San Francisco, and the
bright drops of the Hudson, mingled and flow
ed with those ol the Sacramento.
At that instant, amid the roll of diums and
jheclangof martial music, the discharge of
musketry, the roar of aitillery and the deafen
ing huzzas of a countless multitude on tiie
land aud on the water. I awoke from u dream.
Reminiscences f the Poet Moore.
A lady who had the good fortune to be
present at a party in Dublin, the evening of
the day when the first volume of “Moore’s
Melodies” was given to the world, was recall
ing the circumstance in so graphic a manner,
that we think her story may interest olliers as
much as it did us. At that time our now aged
friend must have been of remarkable beauty
—an enthusiastic girl, brought up in deep se
clusion. married in her seventeenth year to an
officer with whom she was about to leave her
native land. Os Little’s poems, the avant
courier of Moore’s fame, she had never heard ;
and though the “Melodies” of Iter country
were familiar to her ear and lip, she did not
think that they were known except by those
who had learned them from the peasantry. —
“The Pretty Bride” was so new to the world,
that her husband almost tutored her as our
grandame tutored us—“ Now, my dear, hold
your head hold your tongue, and remember
your courtesy.” He begged of her, whatever
occurred, to ask no questions.” It was that
great event of a country lady’s life, “her first
town party.” and she was of course perpetu
ally charmed, confused, and blushing. Pre
sently she heard various whispers in the room
—“ Is he come ?” “ Will he come ?” “Is he
certain to come ?” Vague ideas of the Lord-
Lieutenant, the cynosure of Irish eyes—of the
commander of the garrison—floated before
her; then the lady of the house asked her
daughter if the book was placed open on the
piano— 44 where lie could see it at once ?” And
a dozen sweet faces pressed lorward to in
quire 4i if he was certain, sure to come ?” and
the reply called forth all the little bewitching
“ Oh dears ! and oh mys !” and “ Oil tliems !”
which render the “ brogue” the language ol
Cupid.
The obedient wife —a very Griselda —would
ask no questions ; but she tried to reach the
piano, and ascertain what “the book” was.—
However, one page of music is too much like
another to have yielded much information.—
As the evening melted away, the anxiety of
the hostess and her friends increased to fever
heat. At last a double knock, and ihe hero
of that and many other evenings entered. “1
saw.” continued our Friend, “a very little
man, without star or ribbon—not the Lord
Lieutenant. I was so disappointed; I even
thought him ugly. I looked at all ihe radiant
officers, and wondered who the little man was.
Then came fine speeches from the hostess;
and there gathered round her ail the old and
young, I was provoked; all this fuss for a lit
tle tiny mania black, who was neither the
Lord Lieuieuant nor an officer. I sat down
sulkily at the end ot’ the grand piano, and re
solved not even to look at him. Presently the
hostess manoeuvred him to the piano, and
then, showing him the first number of hie own
Melodics, asked him to sing. He said some
tiling—l did not hear exactly what—about
rot being prepared, but eat down, and with
his small, delicate hand preluded a moment,
and then sung Rich and Rare.’ Before he
had got to the — bright gold ring’ I was spell
bound. The head slightly upturned ; ihe
white full, high brow, over winch his silken
hair lay in rich folds ; the brightest, tenderest,
most loving eyes, were eloquent of expression ;
the smiling moiiih gave forth the most bird
like gushing music; every word was heard,
and not only heard but felt; and every eye
fixed upon -the poet of all circles.’
When he finished, the burst of enthusiasm
was electric, and his thanking smile, as he
glanced round, emboldened his audience to
exclaim with one voice, 1 Another, another !’
He 6at down ; the brilliancy of his expree-
VoI.XXX. N0.34*
eion faded ; the sparkling light of love in hi*
eyes deepened into the intense fire of patriot
ism ; his form dilated, and he gave the line
•Go where glory awaits thee !’ as if it were a
command, from heaven. 1 had been but a
short time married; my husband expected
every day to be ordered off to the war; my
hopes for hirn were so mingled with terrors
that I felt a shudder when l heard the words
ot the song. They were succeeded by others :
‘But when fame elates thee
Oh then remember me.’
in tones so plaintive, so tender, so overwhel
ming. that ashamed of my emotion, I covet ed
my face with nay hands, and pressed it on the
piano. I tried to endure it, but every Irne,
winged by such bewildering melody, entered
into my heart. 1 had said words of the same
meaning to my husband twenty times. And
as the poet finished 1 was completely over
powed; the burst of tears would come, and
rny husband carried his foolish child-wife out
of the room. I afterwards heard that the po
et Lad said, ‘those tears were the most elo
quent thanks he could receive.’ ”
Playing thk Piano, and how it is Done.
The other evening we were at a party of a
friend of ours, and amongst the Jot was a gay
Miss, who had just returned from boarding
school, where after many solicitations and
apologies she seated herself at the piano, rock
ed to the right, then to the left, leaned for
ward then backward, and then began. She
placed her right hand about midway the keys,
and her left about two octaves below ihem.
She now puts off the right to a brisk canter
upon the treble notes, and her left after it. —
The left then led the way back, and right pur
sued it in like manner. The right turned and
repeated its movement, but the left outiun it
this time ; flopped over it and flung it entirely
oft'the track. It came in again, however, be
hind file left, on its return, and parsed it in the
same style. They now became highly incens
ed at each other, and met furiously on the
middle ground. Here a most awful conflict
ensured for a short space, when the right
whipped off all of a sudden, as we thought
fairly vanquished ; but we were in error in
what Jack Randolph cautions us—it had only
—‘fallen back to a stronger position.’ It had
mounted up two back keys, and commenced
lbe note of a rattle-snake. This had a won
derful effect upon the left, and placed the
doctrine of snake charming beyond dispute. —
The left rushed towards it. repeatedly, but
seemed invariably panic-struck when it came
within six keys of it. and as invariably retired
with a tremendous roar down the bass keys;
continued its assaults, sometimes by a zigzag
movement, but all its attempts to dislodge the
right from its strnog hold proved ineffectual ;
it came close up to its adversary and expired.
Any one, or rather no one, can imagine
what kind of noises the piano nrade during
the conflict. Certain it is that no one can
describe them, and therefore we shall not at
tempt it. The battle ended. Miss Jane moved
as though she would have risen, but this was
protested against by a number of voices a!
once. ‘ One song, ray dear Jane,’ ‘you must
sing that sweet little French air you used to
sing, and which Madame Piggisqueaki is so
fond.’ of Miss Jane looked pitiful at In r mamma,
and her mamma looked ‘sing it, Miss Jane
accordingly she squared herself for a song.—
She brought her hands into a capus this lime,
in fine style, and they seemed to be perfectly
reconciled to each other; then commenced a
kind of colloquy ; —the right whispering tre
ble very sadly and left responding bass very
loudly. •
The conference had been kept up until we.
began to <ltsire a change upon the subject,
when our ears caught, indistinctly, some very
curious sounds, which appeared to proceed
from that Jipa of Mis Jane; they seemed to
be compound of a dry cough, a grunt, n hic
cough, it appeared to us as interpreters be
tween the right and left. Things had pro
gressed in this way for about. 15 seconds
when we happened to direct our attention to
Mr. R. His eyes were closed, his head swung
gracefully from side to side, a beam ol hea
venly complacency rested on his countenance,
and his whole man gave irresistible demon
strations that Miss Jane’s music had made him
feel good all over. We resolved from this
contemplation of Mr. R’s. transport, to see
whether we could extract from the perfor
mance anything intelligible, when Miss Jane
made a fly catching grab at half dozen keys
in a row, and the same instant she fetched a
long dung hill cock crow, at the conclusion of
which she grappled at as many keys with the
left. This came over R. like a warm bath,
and over us like a rack of bamboo briars.
Our nerves were not recovered until Miss
Jane repeated the movement, accompanying
it with the squeal ot a pinched cat. This
threw us info an ague fit, but from respect to
the performer, we maintained our position.—
She now made a third grasp with her right,
and at the same time raised one of the most
unearthly howls that ever issued from the
throat ot any human being. This seemed the
signal for universal uproar and destruction.—
She now threw away all reserve, and char
ged the piano with her whoie force. She
boxed it, she clawed it, she scraped it. Her
neck veins swelled, her chin flew up, her face
flushed, her eyes glared, her bosom heaved ;
she screamed, she howled, she yelled, she
cackled, and was in the act of dwelling upon
the note of a screech owl. when we took the
St. Vitus’ dance and rushed out of the room.
‘ Goodness !’ said a bystander. 4 if this be her
singing, what must be her crying?’
How to ‘ Finish” a Daughter.— For the
attainment of this end Punch give* the follow
ing directions:
1. Be always telling her how pretty she is.
2. Instil into her mind a proper love of
dress.
3. Accustom her to so much pleasure, that
she is never happy at home.
4. Allow her to read nothing but novels.
5. Teacli her all the accomplishments, but
none o( the utilities of life.
6. Keep her in the darkest ignorance of the
mysteries of Housekeeping.
7. Initiate her into the principle that it is
vulgar to do any thing for herself.
8. To strengthen the latter belief let her
have a ladies’ maid.
9. And lastly, having given her such an
education, marry her to a clerk in the Treas
ury upon £75 a year, or to an ensign that is
going out to India.
If with the above careful training, your
daughter is not finished, you may be sure it is
no fault of yours, and you must look upon her
escape as nothing short of a miracle.
A Settled Question—l entered a Jog
school house, where a Debatin’ Society’ was
holding lerth upon the question, ‘lf a man
saw his wife and mother in the water drown
ing, which should he help out first?” The
question was considered with animation upon
both sides for a while, when a ‘baekwardnef -
begsn to manifest itself. The P-esident de
sired. ii they had anything more to say, tocon
tinue on.’ Aller’a pause, a peaked looking man
man in the back part of the house got up and
said, with considerable diffidence and ent ar
rassment: ‘Mr. President. I think it a roan
saw his mother and wifi? in the water drown
ing, he ought to help his mother out first; be
cau voa .ee, if hi. w.li get Jrowpea he
could get another one, but he couh. nt gel
another mother, not easy • ,
‘ This settled the question, and the verdict,
accordingly. ’
