TIrs remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its cures of every variety of pulmonary disease,
that it is enltiret unnecessary to recount the evi

has been employed. So wide is the field of its use

liat almost every section of the country abounds
in person.s ptbliely known, who have been restored
from alarming ard even desperate diseases of the

,nmld, thit she haI learned at last to
estimate he rself as 'only L."
WAe once heard something of this
favoriteimn. It was very sad. The speaker
was a sweet-faced, intelleetnal girl. with
a settled look of sorrow making her face
perhaps even more interesting.
T" o this day," she said, "I have never
been rid of the iplroeion that I am too
ugly to be loved. I used to hide when
visitors came, because they te ased,, me,
that I was not as beautiful -as my sis
ters. My punishment amon my broth
ers, was, " oh! you homely thitg !"
They made rhymes on my coarse hair,
my large mouth-and, God forgive them:
imy parents l-sughed at what they thought
childish wit. Whether all these impres
tsions made me really disagreeable, or
their love was only "skin-deep," as the
saying is, I do not know, but they almost
e ruined me. Even now. when religion
convinces me how foolish these brooding
regrets always are, and always will be,
I cannot go with ease in any company,
nor fancy I am tolerated, except out of
pity. I know I am not absolutely home.
ly--indeed my sister's fine teeth are
broken, and her bloom all gone ; perhaps
shie does not look now, even as wcil as I
do. liut this harsh treatment has fixed
upon me a sensitiveness of which I am
e often ashamed, but which I cannot shake
ldo. It makes my eyes like magnifying
glasses, and distorts my imagination."
Be careful, mothers, that ye lay not
s these things in after years to your own
consciences. It is a dreadful mistake,
" which the wisdom born of regret, cannot
r rectify.- Pr-aise not the beautiful, nor
neglect the plain-but above all, flatter
x not your c'ildren, lest tlhey sting the
a hand that adorns their beauty.
