■wook is out, I must contrive to be her doctor,
Mr. Brand.” ,
The butler opened his eyes in amazement at
this last speech, and Lucan laughed qiuctly—a
little gentle laugh, but it contained a depth or
expression nevertheless. But above everything,
it seemed to imply that power unlimited—power
beyond control—was the prerogative of its own
er : power that would indeed have amazed his
hearer could he but have guessed at its extent.
“ She is a brave-hearted, beautiful woman, is
Beatrice Chester, and I admire her exceedingly.
In fact, during a long experience, I don’t think
I have found one more truly lovely and noble
looking. But I fear our hues of policy will
clash : she will try, woman like, her cunning
against a man’s strength, and it remains to be
seen how subtle and successful her enemy can
be. We have not done with her yet, Mr. Brand.
As you observed lust now, she will prove a lion
ess when she finds her cub gone ; and Z—yes, I
must bear the brunt of her anger. Heaven
preserve me 1 Now go, Mr. Brand, and do my
bidding.”
Mr. Brand went, meekly and obediently ; for
he felt that a master-spirit commanded him
when General Kortenski gave him orders.
“If young Coventry ever expects to get the
better of that man, he is mistaken, and will only
be made a fool of for his pains,’’cogitated the pre
tended butler, on his way home. “ I don’t sup
pose there’s a dodge he is not up to, dr a plot
lie has not hatched ; a piece of trickery, cun
ning and contrivance he has not practised, and
knows how to use just in the nick of time. It
will be impossible to beat him with his own
weapons. If Coventry really wants him out of
the way, he had better have recourse to other
means. He’s got a tremendous gripe of the
voung fellow. uy i ~»•
hold of those letters of Spraggs’s ; and see what
story they tell; perhaps we can turn the, tables
between us. Who knows ? And why is this
poor wretch of a tutor to be robbed and put out
of the way? Ah, well 1 this general of, more
than a Russian army chooses to keep his offi
cers in ignorance of his tactics, and, I suppose
it is the wisest plan after all. It is not my
place to wonder, but to act—act well and effici
ently ; and if I get a notice of approval, who
knows how high I may rise ? Who ?”
On the following day the general showed Miss
Chester’s letter to Sir Wentworth, and then
burnt it. The baronet watched the flame of
the lamp destroying it, with a dark frown over
“ I'tcli you what it is, Lucan; if you don’t rid
this country of that fellow, I will. I always dis
liked him, but now —”
“ You would wish him well out of the way.
That is only natural, considering the manner
in which he interferes with our plans. By the
way, you will be ready to leave this place by the
30th.
“Of course. lam in your hands, Lucan.”
“ Don’t sneer, my dear boy. You are not in
my hands ; you are the free agent of your own
will—a will which, you must confess, plays the
deuce sometimes with your friend’s little plot
tings."
“ I repeat that in this instance I am obedi
ence itself.”
“But do you not confess the necessity of obe
dience ?”
“ I do,” was the moody reply, and he turned
on his heel and walked out. “He may say that
I am not in his hands,” he muttered, “ to be
tossed here, dragged there, just as he pleases;
but this time I can see the importance of what
he commands. I can be eager enough in a
cause like that. Wretch 1 I wish that I had
him within pistol-shot of me now. She doos
not love him. That letter was no proof. She
would have written it out of sheer humanity.
Oh, Beatrice, Beatrice 1 for your sake I’ll try
and keep my hands from doing murder ; but I
am sorely tempted now. Lucan and Considine
both out of the world, there would be safety and
Sleasure for me in it.” And then he walked to
lythe Hill, and watched the lighted window
there.
About the same time that summer’s evening,
Lord Lovett chanced to be summoned to his li
brary, to see a stranger, who had come on busi
ness of importance. The business of import
ance did not turn out to be much ; it only re
lated to a volume of scarce broadsides and po
litical songs, presumed to exist in his lordship’s
library, and which the stranger, an antiquarian,
desired leave to study and copy.
But on his way thither, he came suddenly on
'his daughter and his son’s tutor standing in an
alcove, talking earnestly together. Their backs
were turned to him, and they did not see him
or hoar his footstep. He was too thorough a
gentleman to stop and listen to what they were
saying; but when his visitor had left him, with
the required permission to return in the morn
ing, and pursue his studies—which, by the way,
lie failed to do—he sent for Mr. Considine.
“ I have to speak to you, sir,” he said, quietly
bnt severely. “You were talking with my
daughter, Miss Gordon, just now, in the west
ern alcove.”
“ I was, my lord,” was the reply, with a frank,
open look right into Lord Lovett’s face.
“I did not choose to listen to what you were
saying to her, but I know enough of the world
to" guess pretty accurately what a handsome
young fellow like yon would bo saying to a girl
such as she is. You love her ?”
“ I do.”
“ And she knows it ?
“ Since the evening we were together at Sir
Wentworth Coventry’s fete, she does.”
“I need not ask you whether she returns
your love,” pursued Lord Lovett. “ You would
hot have been standing together as I saw you
half an hour ago, did she not.”
“ She does return it to the full. Our avowal,
my lord, was mutual—a sudden impulse that
no thought of prudence could repress.”
“ But do you not know what name the world
gives to such an avowal, sir, from a gentleman
in your position to a taUy tn UcroV Tiw -rroxld
calls it dishonorable ; and in my opinion, sir,
the world is right 1” Lord Lovett added fiercely.
There was a rush of hot blood to the young
man’s face as he heard these words ; but he re
pressed his lasing anger, and all he said was—
“ Wait a little. Lord Lovett, and you will see
that I have not been so wrong as you think,”
“ How so 1 What excuse have you to make?”
“ Simply this. I may bo poor now; but I
have all but certain proofs of being able to re
cover, ere long a name and fortune as proud as
your own.”
“ You have ? What are these proofs ?”
“ I cannot tell you now. Ido not even know
the name I shall one day bear ; but on the 4th
of next month a friend will come from India
and bring me the requisite documents.”
Lord Lovett leant back in his chair, and
thought a little. Thon he spoke.
“ Poor or rich, noble or ignoble, you cannot
be my daughter’s husband I She is engaged to
Sir Wentworth Coventry.”
“Engaged ? Will you persist in that engage
ment against her will ?”
“ I will. I am compelled in honor to do so.
And now, Mr. Considine, believing you to be a
gentleman, I ask you, as a favor to me, to leave
my house at once, and seek no interview with
my daughter before you go.”
“ I will do as you wish. In a little while, per
haps, matters may be altered between us.”
“As far as this marriage is concerned, mat
jtirs.never can be altered. My carriage will be
a' the door in an hour.”
So poor Philip rose and went. He kept his
promise, only pausing an instant as he walked
d.iwn the gallery to pass a slip of paper under
Alice’s door, with the words on it, “Farewell,
until the 4th.”
Mr. Brand watched the carriage drive down
the avenue, and laughed pleasantly as he did
00.
“Hah—hah! Mr. Considine. How strangely
things come about, to be sure! Who would
Have tnougnt ms lorrtsmp would have eAanced
to be wanted in the library while you and Miss
Alice were talking so tenderly together! Now
I resign you into the hands of Mr. Spraggs.
Good-bye, Mr. Philip! good-bye!”
And while Beatrice Chester lay on her sick
bed, wandering in her mind, and talking foolish
things, brave Philip Considine, his back turned
to Shirecross House, was being whisked in the
train toward the great city, further every in
stant from her he loved, and her who was deter
mined to protect him.
CHAPTER XXIV.
PHILIP MAKES AN ACQUAINTANCE.
In London, on a hot September evening, sul
trv, oppressive, and not perfumed with pleasant
odors. Very different indeed from the sweet,
fresh-blowing hills and scented lanes of Blank
shire, whence a traveler, who issued from the
great terminus of the Railway, had jour-
neyed. The contrast struck him more forcibly
as he proceded eastward, and approached the
now comparatively deserted streets of the City
end of London.
“I like Shirccross best; but one cannot al
ways expect to live in clover. lam inured to
hardships, and surely the passing a few days
(only four, for this is the 30th) in a poor lodging
in a crowded city will not be so very disagree
able. That Russian general is an excellent fol
low after all, and I will certainly take his advice,
and pay a visit to the tavern he recommends ;
for, should anything detain my friend, I shall
have to wait a month, and living is expensive in
London. Let me see, where is the address ?”
And he pulled out his pocket-book, and turn
ed over its leaves beneath a lamp on the pave
ment edge.
A rough, sailor-looking man pushed acci
dentally against him as he did so, and knocked
the book out of his hand into the gutter.
“I beg your parding, sir. I didn’t mean
offense. I’ll pick it up in a minute if your honor
Will allow me.”
And then he proceeded to do so with a care
and deliberation, and also an uncertainty in his
gait, which threw a light on the cause of the
accident.
“ Thank you; I’ll not trouble you.”
“Here’s yer book, sir, and I hope no offense
is took in consequence of my puttin’ it in that
there gutter, for Boatswain Tillar ain’t the chap
to foul oars if he can help it. It’s all clear sail
ing with him, and plenty of sea room’s all he
asks when he happens to be three sheets in the
wind, sir. The book’s dusty, sir; let me make
it all ship-shape, please.”
And he took it perforce from the hand of its
owner, and dusted it elaborately with a large
blue cotton handkerchief.
Philip smiled good-humoredly at the pains
the sailor bestowed on cleansing the pages
from the tiny specks of dust which had scarcely
eoiled them.
“Thank you for your trouble, friend,” he
said, on receiving it again. “Good night, and
my best wishes for your clear sailing in future.”
’‘Mate, I thank ye kindly; but p’raps, as I’m
only a stranger in these parts, you won’t mind
telhn’ me where I can find this here port as I’m
bound for ; for hang me if I haven’t bin a-crusing
about all the day, and never come nigh anchor
yet.”
Here he pulled a dirty scrap of paper out of
his tobacco-pouch, and begged Philip to read
the address written thereon.
‘“The Ceylon Coffee House, New Street,
Leicester Square.’ The very place I am going
to. I really cannot say I know my way to it as
yet, but lam about to try and find out. Will
you come with me, Mr. Boatswain ?”
“ I will, sir, with the greatest pleasure in life ;
for I can’t see jest as straight between my lights
as I could wish, and the consequence is
Oh, oh, there 1”
And here he stumbled ignominiously several
feet forward, but drew himself up again instant
ly, stiff and solemn.
“Right and tight now, my lad. Forward
steady 1”
“ Come, come ; let me take your arm, and wo
shall get along smoother. There, keep next to
the railings, and let mo ask the way.”
“ You’re a true gentleman, sir, an’ Boatswain
Tillar ain’t the man to disobey quarter-deck
orders. You’re a true friend, and I’ll take your
advice.”
So ho took his arm as well as his counsel, and
walked with mifre ease and in a straighter line
in consequence. But his loquacity was un
bounded, and his confidences flowed from him
as water from a pump, with many a jerk and
throe. His reason for seeking the “Ceylon
Coffee House,” he said, was not from any ulte
rior motive—not because the best Jamaica rum
was to be procured there at a moderate price, not
because he wanted bed and lodrinsr for the
i,—aiise ne was to meet iu—-
his wife’s cousin, a sergeant in a foot regiment,
to whom he owed five pounds; and as the ser
geant sailed with a troop of men on the morrow
for Cork, it was positively incumbent on him to
pay the debt to-night. This, and much more,
he said to beguile the way, as he candidly re
marked, until the “ Ceylon” was reached; and
when it was, he appeared to be much improved
in sobriety and clearness of head.

Tetter to be apart
Than aye at social war,
And the love of one heart
’Midst the hate of a score,
Like the gleam ’midst the dross of a beautiful ore,
Beveals the unworth—
The paltry of earth,
And glitters, when sifted, far more bright than be

Better to grope through mines,
Down, down, begrimmed and wan*
Where morning never shines.
And sympathize with man—

O, better ’tis when death
Comes o’er the soul at last,
And o’er the feeble breath
From out the clay is cast,
To feel a martyr’s faith point upward from the Past;
Than a worldly die,

Unheedful of the doom that lowers but to blast!
death sensations.
A Sheriff’s Story.
“Every one must die at some time, and I
suppose it matters little in what form the end
comes.”
So spoke John Gibson, one of a party of
friends who were gathered around a genial fire
in the rooms of our mutual friend, the Sheriff
of L
“ I don’t know,” said the Sheriff; “ but it al
ways struck me that it does matter how the end
comes.”
“If you must die,” said Gibson, “what is it
to you, after a few brief minutes ?”
“Very true,” responded the Sheriff. “A
man’s life is easily taken, and all modes have
the same result. But then, I think one ought
to consider the amount of suffering or disgrace
involved in the method.”
“Most persons, I suppose, would prefer to
die in their beds,” said Gibson. “ This I do
not refer to, however—l speak of death by vio
lence. If I were doomed to death, I would be
careless as to the means used.”
“ You think so, now,” remarked the Sheriff;
“ but if it should come to the scratch, I think
you would shun a death that involved suffer
ing.”
“ Don’t all the modes known involve suffer
ing ?”
“ The majority, but not all. For instance,
being guillotined would be far preferable to
being burned at the stake. Indeed, the guillo
tine is really a humane mode of punishment.
The knife drops, the victim feels a cold pres
sure on the neck, and then all is over.”
“You are quite eloquent,” said Gibson,
laughing. “What do you think of the gar
rote ?”
“ I have been told that the method was not a
torture,” was the reply. “ Eminent physicians
have informed me that, besides a slight chok
ing sensation, there is no pain in this method.
The horrible contortion, and blackening of the
face, has caused many to think the garrote a
fearful torture ; but these changes in the face
are accounted lor upon tne simplest grounds."
“ So much for these,” said Gibson, smiling.
“Now tell us your favorite (if I may use the
expression) mode of punishment.”
“ Bnt for the shame which attends it, I should
prefer hanging,” replied the Sheriff.
“ Upon what grounds ?”
“It is the easiest and least painful method
known.”
“ How do you know this ?”
“ I once had a description of the whole affair
from a man who was hung.”
The party burst out into a laugh; but the
Sheriff’s face did not relax a muscle.
“ A joke’s a joke, Campbell,” exclaimed Gib
son ; “ but this yarn is rather too much for our
: credulity.”
“ Nevertheless, it is true,” replied the Sheriff;
“ and if you want the matter explained, I may
as well tell you the whole story.”
“ Very good,” said Gibson. “Let’s have a
good one, for it will take a tough yarn to sus
tain your assertion.”
The Sheriff laughed good-humoredly.
“Wait till you hear it,” he began. “Ten
years ago I was elected Sheriff of this county.
My first attempt at opening court was made
during an important trial. The criminal was a
depraved, desperate wretch, whe had been in
dicted for a brutal and atrocious murder. The
fellow was greatly hardened, and seemed to care
but little how the trial resulted. The evidence
was strong against him; and when the case was
submitted to the jury, they returned a verdict
of ‘ Guilty,’ without leaving their seats.
“ The execution was fixed for a certain day,
two weeks after the trial. Of course it was my
duty, as Sheriff, to put the rope around the
fellow’s neck, and launch him into eternity. It
was a distasteful duty, I assure you; for though
I knew full well the man deserved his death, I
did not relish the idea of hanging him. I got
through with it, however, and sent him danc
ing on air. He <lta nut struggle much, and I
thought he had an easy death. After hanging
the usual time, and being pronounced dead, he
was cut down, and his body given to his friends
for interment. I thought I had seen the last of
the man, as the wagon containg the body drove
out of the gaol-yard; but I was mistaken.
“About four months after the execution, I
happened to be passing my barn, when I saw a
man sitting in the doorway, with his head rest
ing on his hands. I did not like his looks, so I
approached him, and asked him what he wanted
there. He raised his head, and looked at me in
silence. lam not given to superstition, and I
don’t think I am very timid, but I felt my blood
grow icy cold, as I recognized in the man be
fore me the person whose execution I had con
ducted. His face showed no traces of his vio
lent end; and the only indication of it, now
visible, was a slight disfigurement of the neck.
I scarcely knew what to say or think, for I had
seen him hung, and heard him pronounced
dead, and had delivered his body to his friends
for burial; and yet, after a lapse of four months,
there he sat, looking at me with a face as white
as a sheet. The terror that was exhibited in
his countenance convinced me that he was no
ghost; so I asked him, with as much coolness
as I could command :
“ ‘ Jack Larkins, do you know me ?’
“ ‘You’re the man that hung me,’ he replied,
doggedly, at the same time moving away.
“I covered him with my pistol, and told him
if he moved a foot I would shoot him.
“ He paused and looked at me, fixedly.
“‘What do you mean to do with me?’ he
asked. ‘Do you mean to hang me again ?’
“ It was, strictly speaking, my duty to arrest
the fellow ; but I could not do it. The idea of
having to hang him again was revolting, and I
determined to let him escape. I told him if he
would promise to leave the neighborhood, and
never come back again, I would let him go.
This he readily promised, and assured me that
he would never cross my path again, as nothing
but a mere chance had led him to encounter me
this time.
“‘Before you go, Larkins,’said I, ‘I would
like to bear how you cheated the gallOWS.’
“ ‘You won’t peach on any of them touts as
helped me, will you ?’ he asked.
“‘No,’I replied; ‘I will not get them into
any trouble. I simply wish to know how you
felt while you were hanging, and how you w'ere
resuscitated.’
“He hesitated for some time, but upon a re
newal of my assurance that none of his friends
should be molested, told me the following
story:
“When I put the rope around his neck, and
left him on the gallows, he felt a faintness
about the heart, caused by his realizing his
fearful situation, for the first time; but before
he had time to think, the trap was sprung, and
he fell through the opening. The shock of the
fall was rather startling than painful, and did
not produce either insensibility or confusion.
His thoughts were remarkably clear, and he
seemed to have the power of seeing far above,
below, and around him. Everything assumed
a bright vermilion hue; and a soft, dreamy
languor gradually stole over him, until he be
came insensible. There was nothing painful or
NEW YORK DISPATCH.
unpleasant in anything ho had undergone. He
seemed to bo sinking gently into a delicious
sleep, and all his thoughts wore pleasant. The
next thing he remembered, was being wrung
by the most agonizing torture. The pains were
not confined to any particular place, but ex
tended through the whole body.
“ His first thought was that he was in perdi
tion, and was suffering the penalty of his crimes.
The pains increased each moment, and at last
became so intense that he started to his feet
with a scream of anguish, at the same time
opening his eyes. Great was his surprise to
find himself in his father’s house, in the midst
of his friends and relatives. He fainted at
once, and when he recovered, found himself in
his own bed. As soon as it was thought safe to
do so, his friends informed him that, upon
bringing his body home, they had determined
to try to resuscitate it, although they feared it
would be useless. They worked faithfully, and
at last succeeded.
‘“But, sir,’ said the man, in conclusion,
‘coming to life again was much worse than
dying.’
“The man promised to leave the State, and
try to do better. I had but little confidence in
him, yet I let him go. He kept his word, how
ever, "and, a short time ago, I heard he was a
well-to-do farmer in one of the territories.
“ This, gentlemen, is the manner in which I
got my ideas about hanging, and I think you
must admit their force.”
SCRIMMAGE WIThT TIGER.
11V 11 ,
Early one morning during February last, as
I sat in my verandah at early tea, I received a
hasty note from my friend Captain H. intima
ting that a “ kill” having taken place at Telow
lie, some four miles off) he proposed looking
up the tiger, and gave me due notice, in case I
wished to share the fun.
Of course I was soon ready to be off, and
dispatched my servants, with a small battery
of breech and barrel loaders, to H.’s bunga
low, waiting his arrival with what patience I
might. At ten o’clock he rode up, bringing a
camel for my use; and, the elephants and
beaters having gone on ahead, we cantered on
leisurely.
An hour’s easy riding brought us to the ren
dezvous, where a pretty and exciting scene
greeted us.
Under the mango-trees were grouped about
eighty-six beaters, elephants, Sowars, belong
ing to H.’s regiment, and volunteers from the
village, all eager for the work, and breathing
out death and destruction to the tiger, which
they affirmed to be one I had followed and lost
two years before. After some talk and differ
ence of opinion as to the best way of working
the jungle, H. and I started on foot for the
“ mool, where we arranged to post ourselves
as the likeliest place for the tiger breaking
cover ; I clambered up one tree and he another,
and when conveniently, seated, sent back word
for the beaters to commence proceedings;
which they speedily did in their usual fashion,
kicking up noise enough to rouse the manes of
every defunct cow in the district. Shouting,
beating tom-toms, blowing horns, and, in short,
making such a hullabaloo as only natives can
make, and which was calculated to drive even
a tiger from its lair, is strangely exciting.
In a short time the noise begins to take
effect: deer of various sorts break and gallop
past, now one of the pretty Chelul, or spotted
deer, now a lordly Sawba, now a Nilgau, now
a couple of pea-fowl,—the last runs close to the
ground. Sometimes, if a jungle is a little
open, the tiger can be seen for a considerable
time before coming within shot; and then, as
with straining eyes you watch his stealthily,
cat-like creep, how the nerves tingle, and what
speculation as to whether the first chance will
be yours crowd on the brain I Man is a selfish
animal at all times, but never more so than
when hunting. “Everyman for himself, and
God for us all,” is surely the hunter’s motto ;
and the best temper in the world would show
a rough side when the chances of a goood shot
are balked.
Our first “ draw” was a blank, so we held
connsei with our ally, the village fcakoor, as to
the next move, and finally elected to try a an
other patch of jungle.
H. and I scrambled to our new trees, and I
was busily employed lighting my pipe, when I
heard a whisper below me, and looking down
descried H., gesticulating violently. Slipping
down, I heard:
“Look sharp, the tiger’s afoot; we must get
back.”
Back we wont, scrambling into the best trees
we could find; mine was a miserable sapling,
the effort to perch on which gave me cramp,
and nearly upset me in more ways than one.
Bank, jingle, roar, shriek, went the beaters;
and then I forgot my misery. Suddenly I heard
the firing of a rifle-shot near, followed by a low
whistle, the signal that the tiger was hit. Down
H. and I jumped, making for the elephant, to fol |
low up the wounded animal. But the first shot,
fired by one of the Sowars, had been mortal;
and so, having put a couple of barrels into her
to make certain, we lugged a fine full-grown
tigress out of the scrub. This was not bad.
But we knew the male was near somewhere, so
another beat was arranged; and the coolies
had scarcely cleared their throats, when out
bounded a splendid tiger. H. had the first
chance, but could not get a shot; and before
the brute was within my range, a. Snwn.r fired a
snap shot that hit him hard, though too far
back to bo fatal. Ho was then just under my
tree, and the challenge he roared back actually
seemed to shake me; on he crashed through
the bushes, disappearing from our sight.
Stealthily descending, we gave him time to
Ho down and then, mounting the elephants,
followed him. My luck was in the ascendant
now, as before we had gone a couple of hun
dred yards, I caught sight of the tiger crouch
ing under the thick foliage of a corrunchur
bush. Pointing him out to H., I fired right and
left, and as he made no sign, I concluded I had
finished him off, but H., thinking not, and that
he was only skulking, gave him an ounce ball
with one of Jacob’s shells ; the effect was start
ling, to say the least of it; with a roar like
thnnder, he made right at us. There was no
use firing ; he was desperate—mad with rage
and pain. Before we knew well what we might
expect, ho was on the elephant, and though too
badly wounded to make a spring, was clinging
round the animal’s off fore-leg with no loving
embrace. Then began a struggle I can never
forget—the elephant trying to kneel upon his
antagonist,both roaring, bellowing and writhing
together, while H. and I, holding on like grim
death, were making frantic efforts to get a shot
at him under the elephent’s belly.
At last, gathering strength for a death-spring,
the tiger pulled the elephant over, and down
we all came. I was stunned, but have a faint
remembrance of the horrible heap rolling in
the dust together, and H. pulling me up after
he fired a finishing shot. Then we rolled be
hind some bushes, while the elephant dashed
off straight for home, trumpeting furiously.
Not caring to risk a closer acquaintance with
our gallant friend until sure that he was not
only stunned or stupefied, which is sometimes
the ease, we made a long circuit, and, coming
up with the beaters, brought back a party to
secure the tiger.
Our precaution was unnecessary; he was
quite dead, and a finer fellow I never saw—
measuring ten feet eleven inches, and with a
hide like a thoroughbred’s.
We returned to our bungalows to discuss pale
ale and sandwich, of course, and to smoke a
pipe in honor of our safe return, congratula
ting ourselves on our good fortune, and thank
ing God for having spared our lives in so dan
gerous an encounter. '
Our elephant was mostifrightfully mauled in
the scrimmage: it was after six months of
most careful nursing that we got her well;
and I dare say she is ready now to meet anoth
er tiger.
A clergyman in this city came home
late one night, bruised, soiled and robbed of
his watch and money. He said he had been as
saulted by six men, but it was clearly proved
that he lied, that he had been on a spree and in
improper places. But he still “maintains his
pastoral relations.”

£«?” The Inalienable Right of every Citi
zen of the United States is freedom of speech, freedom of
peaceful discussion, freedom of the press; this is guaran
teed to us by the American Magna Charta—the Constitu
tion. Every American can “blow in the teeth” of every
European that it was his Government that set the be
nign example to every other nation of religious freedom;
that is, it does not matter how absurd, unreasonable, or
ridiculous the pious ceremonies and opinions of our
neighbors may appear, we are bound by our laws not to
molest them unless they commit some overt rioting act.
Reader, this is only one of the many blessings we all en
joy and are protected in. Can you estimate its value?
The man or woman who would abuse this privilege by
malicious lying or personal slander, is fit for Siberia, and
should be held in the same estimation as the lawyer who
sells his client; the physician who betrays his patient;
the judge who allows an ambitious, a mercenary or re
vengeful motive to swerve him from a just decision; the
“interesting duck” that places his property out of his
own name with the intention of cheating ana robbing his
creditors; the man that makes gambling a profession,
and pursues it until he is lost to every sense of honor,
honesty, truth, remorse or religion; and the perjurer,
who crucifies the innocent, and trees the very villain the
gallows were made for. But tell us, oh. ye chivalry! ye
whippers, scourgers and burners of men! ye murderers
and robbers of order-loving, law-obeying Union devotees 1
ye starvers and assassins of a fallen foe! where is the di
vinity of slavery, that we cannot speak of it except in
whispers? DR. HUNTER’S office is at No. 3 Division

from anguish. I could not sleep without a bottle of Rad

I IJ) B. HUNTER’S RED DROP.
F)-om tie New York Sun, 1838.
New York, October, 1838.
, D **. Hunter—Dear Sir—At the request of a friend who
nas lately been liberated from the fangs of affliction, by
tne aid of your inestimable medicine Dr. Hunter’s Red
1 address you. He tenders his sincere thanks and
gratitude for the blessings he has received at your handx
avmg been radically cured by magic, as it were (using
only part of a phial), of a dangerous disease, to which he
had rashly exposed himself in an unguarded hour. But
having received both a Cure and a lesson, he is indeed
truly grateful for the one and hopes to receive a salutary
benefit from the other. I myself, who witnessed its effect,
can testify to its merits, and as a Christian philanthro
pist, most sincerely wish that the public may be made ac
quainted with its utility.
O pour thy balm, upon a wounded world.
And let the banner of disease be furled ;
Life’s embers reillume—while yet one spark’s olive.
And bid the kindling glow of health revive;
Extend thy arm—the sufferer’s pan" appease
While groaning ’neath the demon of disease—
The grateful heart shall all thy care repay,
When stern Affliction’s chains are burst away.
Defenceless youth!—if Passion’s firm control
Has placed thee where dark waves of anguish roll,
Where sorrow reigns, and storms of suffering fall.
Where Mercy’s ear ne’er heeds thy piteous call—
Then flee to him who kindly holds for thee
Those precious Drops, that soothe and set thee free.
And when thy just afflictions once are o’er.
Go, rescued “ child of wrath, and sin no more.”
Yours, respectfully, E. G. P.
From the New York Sun, November, 1837.
No. 3 Division St.—The time is not far off when Dr.
Hunter’s Red Drop will supersede the use of everything
that ever was known for the venereal disease, notwith
standing unprincipled scoundrels are trying to rob the
Doctor of its popularity. But it’s no use ; people are not
so easily deceived, particularly when three-quarters o<
those that are cured every week by it are persons that
have used everything they heard or read of. If you wish
to 8° to no further expense, get this first, warranted to
offect a prompt and safe cure, or no pay.
Dr. Hunter s office is at No. 3 Division street since 1834.
His reputation as a skillful and reliable physician is so
great that every villianous quack in and out of our great
city either pretends he knows the materials of whicn the
doctor’s remedy consist, or that ho is or has been in some
way connected with him.
All persons afflicted with private diseases to make sure
of the genuine medicines, must call at the old office.
Open from pight o’clock A. M. to nine o’clock at night.

I REDEMPTION in this life by not calling on Dk.
LJNTER sooner or later. He can cure the worst cases
o" secret disease in a shorter time than any other physi
cian or no pay taken. Skeptics and doubters will please
call and read lots nf reliable certificates of cures made
within the last thirty years, of almost hopeless cases, that
had had the benefit of dozens of the most eminent physi
sicians and surgeons. Dr. Hunter is in constant attend
ance from Bin the morning until 9at at his old
office’ No. 3 Division street, New York city, since 1834.
Charges moderate, and a cure guaranteed; Separate
rooms, so that the patient sees no one but the Doctor
himself. His wonderful medical discovery, Dr. HUN
TER’S RED DROP, cures private diseases, when regu
lar treatment and all other remedies fail; cures without
dieting or restriction in the habits of the patient: cures
without the digusting and sickening effects of all other
remedies; cures in new cases in less than six hours; cures
without the dreadful consequent effects of mercury, and
possesses the peculiarly valuable property of annihilating
the rank and poisonous taint that the blood is sure to ab
sorb, unless his remedy is used. This is what he claims
for it, and what no other will accomplish. Its value in
this respect has become so well known, that scientifio
men, in every department of medical knowledge, begin to
appreciate it, for hardly a week passes that he is not con
sulted by druggists, chemists, and physicians, in regard
to some pitiful patient, who has exhausted the wholo
field of the faculty, and still the disease will appear.
What human being, with any pretention to Christianity,
will say that this medicine should not be made known far
and wide ? Its popularity is so great, that there is not a
quack doctor in the city that has not attacked it; and
when they find their lies are not so easily swallowed, they
then pretend that they can make it. It is $2 a vial, and
cannot be obtained genuine anywhere but at the old
office. No. 3 Division st. One Dollar will secure by return
mail his medical work, 300 pages- 0Q colwed
worth all the others put togeter.
