AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral for the Cure of
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis,
Whooping-Cough, Croup, Ashthma and
Consumption.
Among the’ numerous discoveries AYience has made in
thl* generation to facilitate the business of life—increase
its enjoyment, and even prolong the term of human ex
istence, none can be named of more real value to man
kind, than this contribution of Chemistry to the Heuling
Art. A vast trial of its virtues throughout this broad
country, has proven beyond a doubt, that no medicine
or combination of medicine, know n, can so surely con
trol ana cure the numerous varieties of pulmonary dis
ease which have hitherto swept from otir midst thou
sandsand thousands every year. Indeed, there is now
abundant reason to believe a Remedy has at length been
found which tan be relied on to cure the most danger
ous affections of the lungs. Our space here will not
permit us to publish any proportion of the cures affected
by its use, but We would present the following opinions
of eminent men, and refer further enquiry to the circular
which the Agent below named, will always be plea
sed to furnish free, wherein are full particulars and in
disputable proofofthaae facts.
From the President of Amherst College, the
celebrated Professor Hitchcock.
“ James C. Ayer—Vir: 1 have used your Cherry Pec
toral iq my own case of deep-seated’ Bronchitis, and am
satisfied from its chemical constitution, that it is an ad
mirable compound for the relief of laryngiai and bron
chial difficulties. If my opiuion as to its superior char
acter can he of any service, you are at liberty to use it
as you think proper.
EDWARD JfITCHCOCK. L. I, D.,
From the widely celebrated Professor Sil
liman, M. D., L. L. D., Professor oj
Chemistry, Mineralogy, Ape, Yale Col
lege, Member of the fit. Hist. Med. Phil,
and Sciedtific Societies of America and

“ I deem the Cherry Pectoral an admirable compnsi
lion from some of the best articles in the Materia A/edi
ca, and a very effective remedy for the class of diseases
it is intended to cure.
New Haven t Ct M Nov. 1, 1849.
Major jPattison, President of the S. C. Nenate, states
l.e has u*ed the Cherry Pectoral with wonderful success,
to cure an inflammation of the lungs.
From one of the first Physicians in Maine.
Saco, Me., April 26, tßti.
Dr. J. C. Ayer. Lowell. Dear -Sir: I am now con
stantly using your Chcriy Pectoral in my practice, and
prefer it to any other medicine for pulmonary complaints.
From observation of malty set ere cases, 1 am convin
ced it will cure coughs, colds, and diseases of the lungs,
that have put to defiance all other remedies.
I invariably recommend its use in cases of consump
tion, and consider it much tlie best remedy known for
lhat and isease

Col. Wm. B. Pryor:—Dear Sir: I can and do moat
cheerfully and sincerely certify to the efficiency of yonr
Pile Ointment. Few persons can have a better right to
express an opinion concerning the many different reme
dies that have been offered to the public for the cure of
the malady than I have, because few have been more
severely afflicted than I have been, and as few, perhaps,
have tried a greater number of remedies for it. Aty
opinion is that your pile ointment is the very best in use;
that it will not only sooth and ameliorate, bill will posi
tively cure if property applied and persevered in a fair
trial. I recommend to all persons in reach of saeli a
remedy the use of yourointment.
Your* respectfully,

Col. Wa. B. Pryor: —Dear Sir.— You ask me to ex
press an opinion with regard to your ointment for Piles
and Burns. lam familiar with the different ingredients
entering into ito composition, as well of the mode of com
pounding it, and consider it a remedy powerfully effica
cious in relieving the maladies it professes to cure, as
well as many other contageous diseases.
I have known it used with much success in the treat
ment of Piles particularly, and take great pleasure in of
fering you this testimonial of its virtue.

OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS.
GUARDIAN ANGELS.
Therefore for spirits, l am so lor from
denyiug their existence, that 1 could
easily believe that not only w hole coun
tries, but particular persons have their
tutelary and guardian angels.—Relight
Mediea.
It is one of the most beatiful doctrines
ever inculcated, that there are noble es.-
settees in Iteaven that bear a friendly re
gard unto their friendly natures’ on earth,
/sod although it may be nought but a
dazzling error, but mankind might be
pardoned for cheating themselves with so
agreeable a delusion. It is indeed one
of the finest ideas ever conceived,’ that a
man is not placed here in an entire relit
mice upon his own strength—a poor for
lorn wanderer, with no guide, save the
suggestions of bis own corrupt nature —
bot that there is evet near him a guardian
spirit, whose kindly counsels alien I him
on his pilgrimage; The argument for
such a theory strmsat least, very plau
sible; that as tlfere is a gradual scale
ofasrersinn jn the order of being, from
the brute to angels, an essence as we
speak of may form a connecting link,
and who shall say that such beings do
not exist ? that they are not one of the
thousand mysteries whic’.i envelope our
being? Life itself is a wonder, full of
inexplicable mysteries. Our existence is
an enigma. And who shall fatlion the
immortal soul ? Who shall resolve its
sympathies, and trace home its mysterious
connections with the body ? Niiirp, then,
(Mir nature and being are so intelligible,
is the theory we are considering so start
ing to reason ? Surely, if Dr. idltniotf;
Sir Thomas Brown, and other grfcal and
wise men; hare believed in the appear
ance of ghosts, apparitions, and other
strange sights, we tiny indulge in a be
lief so fraught with pleasure and conso
lation. Os the same nature and equally
sublime, is the doctrine Hint the depart
ed spirits of our friends anil relatives tire
permitted to revisit the e arth, and to min
gle (heir sympathies with (be objects of
their affection. When we think of the
anguish of parting with those w e love, of
looking for the last lime upon the face
which lias smiled away our, wo&, Jmvv
gladly do we ding to the idea of t|ii ir
returning to Soothe our distress, and to
bind up the bruised heart.
Such a belief would soften tiie bitter
ness of separation anti beguile death of
its sting. It is indeed, a painful thought
that the forms which have insensibly en
twined themselves about us, (ill they
have become linked with oiir b> iog, must
be torn away and Wedded with the dust
—that the eye which beams upon us with
tenderness unutterable must become dim
in death, and the voice whose music hath
so oft stilled (he aching Ittart, must falter
its Inst farewell. But more chilling is
the thought, that the loves and friendships
and all the other endearments which lend
a charm to exigence, must perish with
the heart’s last throb. Hut it thou cans!
believe that the love once so fond; rudest
not at life’s last taper, bit! e’n now ‘ Soft
ly trembles w ith a pulse yet true In thine,’
that the friendship once so warm ami
pure, is still sympathising in tin' Joys and
woes, cling Ao the hope, woo it to thy
soul, phantom If,oogli ft may be. Art
thou an orphan, weepitigfqr art nffection
ate parent? Dry the tear; Irusb the
sobbings of thy young heart. Stli
whose lore thou thonglil’st lost to thee
forever, tliv fond mother is still near thee,
watching thine every step which an af
fection that eyer tires, and an eye that
never aliimbers, whispering words of
consolation * thirie ear, and smoothing
thy rugged path. Art thpit a husband,
whose widowed heart is lamenting the
tender partner of thy bosom ? Cas*
thy complaint. The love e’en here so
pure noW etherialized and freed fronvall
earthly alloy is with thee in thy wander
ings. List what it says: •
‘ Near tliae,still mar thee! trust thy soul's deepdream
ing.
Oh! love l not BP earthly rose to die I
Ev’n when l*oar where Giey star* are beaming.
Thine image wanders with me through the sky.’
Gentle shade ! Forms unseen ! EVn
while I write, at this still and solemn
hour of midnight, perhaps ye are hover
ing with tin tired wing, o’re the slumbers
of the loved—whispering w ords of peace
to the mourner, or, in dreams, restoring
(lie object of his idolising affeciions—
telling the joys of a better land, w here
love aud friendship bloom fadeless, ami
part no more forever.—N. Y. Mirror.
Atui if perchance, through, their un
dying affection for thee, and by the per-
mission ofnwr Ht-uvettlv ‘hullier, the

Tk March of America-
Any one who will examine steadily,
for a tew ihuughllul moments, the pusl
and present condition of our people, can
not help feeling that we are, to use words
often littered lightly, ‘awfully progress
ive mid it is with a mixed sensation af
fear, admiration, ami wonder, tliat we
note the gigattiii-'movemenls by which our
Republic has hewed herself a pathway
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Let us look back a little, and review
what we have done.
lii three quarters of n century we have
increased (tom three millions to twenty
four millions of people. Within that
same period ol time we have let in the
blessed sunlight upon thousands of miles
ol’ land, oove an almost impenetrable
wilderness of shadowy sylvnu aisles arch
ed with iuleiLcing boughs aud tbit U
foliage.
We have built up mighty cities where
fifty >ears ago the Indian huuted, the
owl hooted,i'ind die wild deer fed.
We hate thrown I'm ward in every di •
rection a pioneer at my of hardy mm,
who, with the axe .alone, lime felled-far
reaching forests, and laid open lo the
day a region equal in extent to the larg
-1 est Empire.
We lime built up a commercial marine
second to none in thewqihl. Tlte white
out-spread wings of our magnificent ships
are lo he seen sailing ovet every known
sea, w bile the flag they bear is resjiecled
in every Laud.
We have subdued Space by steam, and
tithe by Lightning.
AW these wonders have been at bieved
within one,man’s nrdinaiy lifetime, by
tl.'C n agio ol one woid—a woid as po
tent to perfotin marvelous nets ns the ‘ o
pen sesame’ ol the Arabian story ; that
word is— Freedom !
Three quarters of a century ago, and
,at this season id the year, a small army
of men, iii Ii in nothing but the love of
1 Liberty ;’ poor ill every ihingtiial re
lates lo honily comfort ; in rags, and
staining bloodily the white nisp snow
with their bare leet lay shivering at
Valley Forge. The Forlorn Hope of
Liberty ! To-day did the occasion de
mand it, one blast of the war liutnpet
would summons two millions of fighting
men into the lit hi : tint gaunt and tnea
gre, like those ill Valley Fmge, but
warmly cl tilted, well armed and < quipp
ed, and bnutifully provisioned.
Let ns hope that up such display of
patriotism will he requited. Peace, es’
peci illy if it cart be maiulaintd with
honor, is both the true policy and the
true interest of onr country. 7t needs
no prophetic seer to foretell, that with
1 fifty years more of peace we shall become
the tops I powerful nation on the face of
the globe, aml number within tlte same
period of time one hundred millions of
ptople. To .feet Ills, w pmi-.I have
unity among out selves, harmony in onr
national count il-, a const-tv live Republi
canism, and quiet, (f nodi ieudly rtlatiiotis
