In Dyspepsia it is a certain cure. In Consumption it is excellent. In Liver Complaint nothing can be better; "V: V:.-.-.. ': . ' ; :'" ;. ' In Kidney disease it is a specific. In Rhuematism it is an important remedy. .i7A:.:rt vW--iV,-.-C In Stomach Affections it Is unsurpassed In Female Complaints it is of great valne. . ' 1 ' Andia nearly all kinds of chronic disease it acts like a charm, effecting speed j cures in the most stubborn eases. The afflicted everywhere should not fail to giro it a trial, if they desire to purchase health with but a tiifling expense. It is not a "patent medicine," nor s it kept for sale by any drug" gist. It is a discovery of a physician during a five years sojourn in South America, and he nas imparted the; secret of its composition to hundreds of intelligent physicians, who have all used it in their practice with the most wons derful results. ! In consideration of its many virtues, I hare thought it my duty to engage in the manufacture of it on a large scale, and advertise it ex tensively throughout the world. The method for preparing it for use U somewhat complex requiring a numerous collection of chemical tools paraphernalia not usually possessed by druggists, and for this reason few drug stores could furnish it properly prepared, if they had the formula. Therefore, I have purchased the ccesfary articles, and with the assistance of a good practical chemist am engaged in its manufacture and sale. , .", The "Life Compound" is purely vegetable, its principal ingredient being obtained from the root of a plant which grows abundantly in some parts of South America. It is perfectly harmless in its effects even if taken in tripple the ordinary dose, whils its invigorating influence is wonderful indeed, often effecting a permanent cure in a few weeks." Bead the following TESTIMONIALS. " Oodensbuboh, N. Y., .May 7, 67. ; Mr. McKelvet: Dear Sir Tour 'Life Compound' is working wonders in this section, and I have every reason to be thankful for what it Ihas accomplished in my own case and that of "my wife.' My complaint, as you may remember, was Liver Disease in its worst form. I had not taxen your medecine more than three weeks . when I felt so much encouraged as to order a box for my wife also, who was suffering from . what the physicians termed disease of the kidneys. This was in November last. We have now taken two packages each, and I am happy to inform you that we have good reason to concl ttda we are both pertnautly restored to health bod that, by your Life jpompound. Encouraged . by ita good effects in our cases, several "of our afflicted neighbors sent to you for the medicine and I am informed by three of them , with whom ' I am intimately acquainted, that they, too, be - iievo themselves entirely cdred by it.

' - ' CniciKNATi, Aug, 25, 1867, . mJ Mr. McKklvey: Sir A thing of beauty is a toy forever, and a good medicine is more than this. I take pleasure in commending your Life Compound, not so much on account of what it .has done for me, as wai it may be the means of doing for thousands of others. To the sick and suffering, therefore, I wish, . through your advertisement to say a few words . of encouragement. One year ago I was an invalid; I am now hearty and well. My disease was dyspepsia of ten years standing; I had tried all means I knew of for a cure, without avail, until about the first of September last I became acquainted with a joung man who told me ot Mr. McKelvey's remedy, and the good work it had done in the neighborhood of his former home (Erie, Pa.) I immediately appled ' to Mr. M. for a bjx or his Life Compound and commenced taking it. I commenced improving in fer davs and coutinued to improve, and in . less than three months from that time was entirely restored, and have remained well ever since. Mine was rather an inveterate case, and pronounced .10 by all the physicians of this city. The medicine was so successful in my case, that I cannot refrain from adding my testimony in Its favor. D.B.

Dr. Hibberd in England. Dr. HiBBsan, of our city, together with Mr. Albert Blancbard, is now enjoying a visit to England, and the Dr. has been corresponding with the Telegram at intervals ever since he left home. In bis London letter, dated June 28, he makes the following observations which we extract from the Telegram of last Saturday : "The Bodlean Library is a marvelous collection in number and value of manuscripts, books, paintings, models, statues and other works of art. We saw one book translated by Alfred the Great, many Bibles and prayer books that belonged to the Sovereigns of England before the time of Plymouth Rock, the Jamestown settlement, and since. It receives a copy of every new book published in England. I sat in a chair made of the mast of the ship in which Si r Francis Drake circumnavigated the earth, while I read the evidence to establish the truth of the story of its origin. We walked through the rooms where the Lords and Commons of Charles the I and II held their parliament because Cromwell and the plague drove them away from London. We stood on the spot where Latimer, Ridley and C runnier were burned, martyrs to their religion, and in another street close by gaxed at the monument erected to their memory. On Thursday evening we arrived at Strst-ford-npon Avon, and alighting from the omnibus at the door of the Red Hotel, were ushered by the smiling landlady into a little room handsomely labelled, 'Washington Irring's parlor, sat down in a much worn chair similarly marked as 'Washington living's chair, and gazed at two pprtraits of our countrymen who had immortalised the Red Horse Hotel, that hung against the wall. We took a look at the interior of the house where Shakspeare was born, (it was closed for the evening,) and as evening set in guided by a modest old gentleman who was born here 64 years ago, we strolled along the path where Shakespeare strolled of evenings, over to the cottage of Anna Hathaway, in his courtship days. We went into the room where he went in, sat down in the chimney corner where he had sat, and peered up into the dark chimney where he looked ; we stood by and admired the curiously carved old oak bedstead on which Anna Hathaway is supposed to hare slept, and while doing all this, had everything pointed out to us by Mr. Baker, who claims to bv lineal descendant of the Hathaway family. Next morning we visited the house the very room in which Shakspeare was born now adequately cared for by the SbaVspearian Society, and preserved in the library and museum in other rooms of the same building, looked upon hundreds of relics and mementoes of the WM-ld's innrorlal bard. In the Parish church close on the banks of the Avon we stood on the slab that covers his remains, while we looked at his bust in a niche close hj, put there by his daughter, Mrs. Hall, in 1023, seren years after her father's death. It is far more satisfying than any painting or engraving I hare erer seen of Shakspeare's head, though the face appears young and full for a man fifty -three years old." ' . .

The Cincinnati Enquirer proposes to substitute for 'Decoration Day,' a Contribation Da', with one day in the year, set apart, North anct South, for the collection of funds for the care of widows and orphans of ! fallen heroes, who-e wants cannot be supplied by such ceremonies as those of Decoration Day.

From the Madison Courier. Morton at Gettysburg. The oration of the distinguished In liana statesman, Senator Morton, is ery sharply and, we think, unfairly criticised by a portion of the press of the country. It is admitted that the oration is above the average, but, as compared with other speeches of Senator Morton in the Senate and elsewhere, it is alleged that it does not come up to the full measure of the Senator's large ability. Senator Morton has little fancy he must have facts to elaborate and errors to refute. His speeches are terse and logical; his points are always well taken and argued closely and conclusively. The effort at Gettysburg was in an untried field, and, as we have said, it is very unfair to compare Morton with Morton. Tried by the standard of Edward Everett, who made an address at the same place in 1864, Morton's oration will prove far above the average ; and, be it remembered, it was no new, untried field in Mr. Everett's case. Vice President Colfax would have . made a more brilliant oratio.i, but the man is yet to come who can equal the grandeur of the brief but pregnant address of the lamented Lincoln, delivered upon the same spot, November 19th, 1863. The following comprises Mr. Lincoln's entire address : 'Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived or so dedicated, can.long endure. We are met on agre'at battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a rating place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. Hut in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men living and dead, who stiup-p-led here, have consecrated it far . above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long rememi, ber what we say here, but it can sever forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, T rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that 1 from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the ' cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion that we here t riiahlv resolve that the dead shall not t . . ... .. 1 .11 have died in vain; mat tne nation snaii, under God. have a new birth of free dom, and that the government of the people, by the people, and for the peoWhen the late James T. Brady was in active practice in the higher criminal trials, he - was on one occasion called upon by a modest, neatly-dressed young girl, who timidly approached his desk and said : 'Mr. Brady, they are going to hang my brother, and you can save him! I've brought you this money ; please don't let my brother die!' and she burst into tears. It was a roll of $250 which the poor girl had begged in sums of fire and ten dollars. The kind hearted man heard her story. 'They shan't' hang your brother, my child !' said he ; and putting the roll of bills in an envelope, told her to take it to ber mother, and he would ask for it when he wanted it. The boy was cleared.In Mr. Brady's parlor hangs an exquisite picture, by Dui ant, asking him to accept it as a mark of appreciation for his kindness to the poor. Mr. Brady prized that picture. Canadian Patent Law. The Domin ion of Canada has enacted a new patent law, which goes into operation at once. It is a ponderous statute, filling nearly four columns of the Montreal lelegraph. but inasmuch as it excludes all non-resi dent alien inventors from the benefits of of its provisions our inventors can feel no enecial interest in its full details. Section 6th provides, however, that "anv Derson havinff been a resident of Canada for at least one year next be fore his application, and having invented or discovered any new and useful im provement not known or used by others before his invention or discovery, may obtain a patent therefor." This provision to sav tha least, is one step in ad vance of the old law, as, under the new system, a citizen of the United States who is willine to suffer an exile of one year by summering and wintering in the Dominion may secure a patent for his invention. ...... . I hope you will be able to . support me,' said a young lady, while .walking out one day with her intended, during a slippery state of the pavement.' 'Why, yes,' said the somewhat hesitating swain, 'with some little assistance from your father !' , :, ; ' - There was some confusion and a profound silence when the lovers' colloquy had ended. : . - : . 'Father, did you ever ? have another wife besides mother?'. 'No my boy ; what possessed you to ask such a question ?'

ENDS THOU AIM'ST AT, BE THY THE SECRET MARRIAGE. BT MRS. M. LEONORA BRADLEY. No bairn of mine are ye now, ye gude for-nothing, so gang quick to your worthless husband, or my hand may fall more heavily than my curse upon your disobedient head !' And the rage of the tall, sinewy Scotchman increased so rapidly that a fiendish expression was visible even in the purple twilight that was wrapping in misty , folds the great plains that stretched away miles and miles, until lost in the dim, uncer-. tain distance of the horizon, where the lingering beauty of the sunset lent a radiance and charm almost heavenly in its glory. But the darkest aad deepest shadows seemed to cluster and cling around the man who stood with hi3 back against the majestic trunk of a tall, strong oak, that towered sentinel-like almost over the roof that sheltered the lame, invalid wife. Yet it is to be hoped that even there was a deeper gloom in his heart, for his only daughter, his sweet Janie he had been wont to call in times past, could never call this home hers again with his consent, for she had chosen to secretly wed one she loved, rather than the broad, rich acres of the man he had chosen, with great discretion he had secretly prided himself. In vain had Janie pleaded that her husbBiid was good and noble, and that his poverty was no disgrace as long a3 he had the intellect, the energy and the desire to better his circumstances ; and it was only from fear that her father would force her into a marriage utterly distasteful, that she had disobeyed him. In vain had she cried to him for her mother's sake, not to turn her out oa the cold, still plains to wander all night, she knew not whither. Then as a last faint hope, such as the shipwrecked mariner must feel when only one frail plank is left between him and the dark, chilling waters, she entreated that Nero, great, brave, loving Nero, the watch dog, might go with her on her lonely journey ; But Donald McGregor's only answer was the one given at the commencement of our story, fol lowed by a sharp, clear whistle for the dog, who came bounding, not to his master's but to Janie's side, where she knelt in the thick clover, with her hands raised, imploringly above her - white, marble like face so rigid was it ia expression. With a love and tenderness almost human, the dog, with a quick, low whine, caressed her ; then Janie impulsively threw her arms around the dog's neck, hid her soft, brown eyes, shoded by masses of rippling hair, on his shaggy head, and sobbed as though all the sorrow of her life was concentrated in that moment ; then, ere her father seemed to fully realize her intention, she thrust Nero away, and sprang thro the open kitchen door, then ran quickly across the sanded floor into her mother's room, where she had been confined many months by a serious lall. With a cry of agony whicli she had vainly attempted to repress, she sank beside her mother's chair, sobbing pitifully.: 'Kiss me quick, dear mother ; I am going to Paul. I dare not stay another moment; father will come; he has only gone to chain Nero.' With a fond, lingering embrace, the mother pressed her Janie to her heart, mingling her sobs with hers ; then with a strong effort, she said : : I know all, Janie darling. I was sit- . ting by the open window and heard every word. It is cruel it is unjust but God is willing aad able to care for all that come to him through faith ; trust him, my child, and he will never forsake you.' : . Janie, not daring to reply, kissed her' mother's tender lips, then was gone, speeding, away out over the lonely plains. Gone almost ere her, mother fully realized it. ; Even then she listened intently for her returning footsteps for, stern and .tyrannical as she knew Donald to be at times, she had not to far lost the sweet faith of her youth in him, as to believe that he would not relent. Indeed, she quite soothed herself into the belief, for hour after hour pass-' ed and still he came not. For a time she heard black Ellen's heavy feet and clatter in the milk cellar among .pails and pans, then all was hushed. Enduring the death-like still ness until it was no longer bearable, she tremblingly groped her' way; out into the kitchen with the assistance "of, her crutch, sometimes almost, falling, once striking her head so that the pain rendered her almost faint, yet never faltering for one moment ; for she was fed and strengthened as it were, by an un- r definable motive to do and dare what at : another time would have been an impossibility. Yet she scarcely " realized her object until she was by Nero's sideThere she fell exhausted ; but not a faculty wavered until her trembling fin-:

How she found her way to her room again, over after seemed dim and unreal, but there she lay on the bed when Donald McGregor came, in a heavy slumber he at first supposed, but it proved a deathlike swoon. And where had he been during this time? After Janie if he had followed his better nature, for he was not a thoroughly depraved and heartless man, though he had all his life, as is too often the case, been strewing thorns in his path by endeavoring to govern, all around him by fear rather than love. Thus it was that he could seldom understand or sympathize with his family, or they with him for that matter. "After his anger had subsided in a measure he almost hoped Janie would return. Indeed, be was quite sure she was somewhere now in the house or barn. So he had complacently laid his plans that night, while returning from the village with Jan-:e's rejected suitor, how they would soon dispose of the silly girl's husband, Paul Clifton The plains of Long Island are in this day nothing in comparison to what they were fifty years ago. Then there was hut a dreary waste of tall grass and stunted shrubs, through which roamed in summer vast herds of branded cattle and sheep. And all this is changed more oi- less by the iron band that traversos it now, besides which has sprung up pleasant villages and nestling cottages, teeming with active life and beautyUpon leaving her mother Janie had but one thought, one desire uppermost io her mind, and that was to reach Paul who was learning a trade in a great city a3 soon as possible. But presently she became calmer ; then her tears began to magnify every sound, until in terror she turned and ran toward her borne, where a light from the kitchen glimmered brightly. Not that she meant to enter the house ; oh no ! for the few past hours had taught her that with all her timiditv there was a strensrth of purpose in her heart, though it had long lain dormant; therefore she settled down beside a stack of new mown hay, thinking she would remain there a few hours, then be up and away ere daylight. But, notwithstanding her resolution, the feeling of security and weariness caused her eyelids to droop and she soon forgot her troubles in a sound, refreshing sleep. After a time, how long she knew not, she was awakened by something nestling close to her: but ber cry f flight ended in one of delight. for the low, joyful whine that answered her told her a faithful companion was by her side. Then with a courage ami lightness of heart that strengthened her beyond expression, she started on her journey. . CHAPTER 11. Quietly we must pass over the week following Janie's departure. Mrs. McGregor to a casual observer appeared as usual, for no one, save- her husband, knew what had transpired. The missing dog and the swoon had been evidence euouge to Donald of what his wife had done ; . yet whatever his tho'ts were upon that subject he guarded them well. At first Ellen had scolded and fretted almost constantly, that the child would go visiting' just at harvest time, leaving her witli such heaps of work, but in her heart she well knew the trouble was that she missed her sweet, happy, birdlike voice. But where was Nero ? She had scraped his food, meal after meal, into his dish under the gieat pear tree, and called loudly, even ringing the dinner bell, whose clear clang he had never before .failed to respond to . with a joyful bark. Then why had his master ridden swiftly away on his fastest horse the next morning after Janie left? These were questions in her mind not easily answeied. though her mistress had said quietly enough as she held a large feather fan before her face, and asked Ellen to close a window that allowed the wind to blow on her that Mr. McGregor had gone to see her son Robert, who was to leave soon for the war in Canada. If this quieted her inquisitive nature for the time, Mr. McGregor's return increased her anxiety two-fold, for, turning his favorite horse into the stable, he slopped not to feed or rub him down a thing he had never been known to neglect before. - . . Sakes' alive! now1 I's cert'in sure soraefin's to pay, or my name ain't Ellen Judy Ann Johnson ?' And dropping dish cloth and dish back into the foaming suds, she stole softly after her master as soon as he had entered his wife's room and closed the door. ; Applying her ear to the door, she listened intently. For a moment there was a deep pause, as tho' each dreaded to speak ; then in a trembling, pleading voice Mrs. McGregor asked why he had not brought Janie home. He replied in a low, constrained and unnatural voice, so little like his usual authoritative tone that Ellen felt instinctly, with a cold shudder through her frame; something terrible must have happened; and while these thoughts rushed through her mind she lost his answer, which was followed by a deep, groan like cry from Mrs. McGregor, so, sudden and so agonizing that Ellen sprang back from the door in alarm, ' not knowing what might next happen. She thrust her hands in the dish-water, and not a moment too soon, for her master came out, and catching a dipper of water hastily from the table, bade her follow him.

Perhaps Donald noticed it also, and memory opened her pages to his fresh young manhood, when he had promised to love and cherish this woman, who had been on her part so true, so loving, so faithful; but how had he performed his holy trust ? True, the world may never have known him to be selfish or stingy in its accepted terms, but where a heart withers and dies, as it were, for what might have been, will God accept their vows as unbroken ? -Thinking doubtless the eyes of the colored woman was on him, he must give some explanation for the present state of affairs, therefore, as briefly as possible, -1 while he was helping to restore his fainting wife, he told Ellen that Janie was married to the young man that taught their village school last year, and that he bad enlisted and was now on his way with Robert to join the rest of the ' army ; but he did not tell her who, with falsehood, had caused him to go, and we doubt if he liked to think of that himself. Janie, he said in ( a low, half-choked voice, as tho' memory was working with giant sway, was at a bouse on the plains, injured severely by some cattle, and might not recover, as fever bad set in. As to how or why she came there, he wa? silent ; and much Ellen would like to have known, his stern, forbidding face repressed only inquiries; so she could only turn and wipe away the tears that coursed down her cheeks with the corner of her, checked upron. But why linger over the days and weeks that followed, all fraught with anxiety and pain ? for Donald McGregor during this time realized with all tho fearful intensity that self-accusation brings, that the pale, suffering faces of wife and daughter might soon be still and cold in the long, long sleep. Then their lonely mounds would haunt him with terrible vividness, even in his dreams. He might strew them with beautiful and choice flowers, erect costly monuments, but that would not bide their reproachful faces, and, oh, if he had only paused ere plunging into such misery 1 When the physician told him they would recover, Donald greatly astonished that individual by sinking into a ehair and sobbing like a child, as he said r God" be thanked, doctor, that you have saved them I I would not have endured life if they had died ; their blood would have been on my hands.' ; The astonished doctor could not understand his broken words or strange eonduet then but many long years afterwards be heard the story, when he had retired from his profession and a handsome, . manly son- bad taken his plaee, and brought to his fireside a sweet young wife, resembling so eiosely Janie our Janie, a we first saw her that one might believe she had drank from the fountain of perpetual youth. But in Paul Chifton's eyes his Janie was still, just as fair in her mature, mantronly grace as their daughter, the young doctor's wife, and more deafly loved, if possible, he might have said, than when she fled that lonely, starless night to go to him. Mrs. McGregor . lived to see three sweet grandchildren bfEgbteo their home, asd : realize that ber latter years were the purest and' brightest, the crowning glory of a well spent life; then she had peacefully followed her son Robert to that better and fairer land. Be was killed while in ' the army, at the head of his company, fighting bravely and desperately, and was buried on the far away battle-field by the hands of Paul Clifton. But he did not die until he bad written to his father in the pleading words of a dying man, asking him to forgive and take Paul Clifton to his heart and home. They had desired with wicked delight that Paul might be killed, but the summons had come to him instead, after Paul's periling his life to save him, as his scarred fat e would testify. Donald s MeGregor's heart being already aoiteaed, this opened the gate wider, and ,when Paul was discharged withbooor and returned to his faithful wife, it was to find himself a loved and respected "son.
