DELAwARE, 0., Feb. 16,1877. MR. H. R. STVENSs: Dear Sir,-I wish to give you this testi. mony, that you may know, and let otherv know, what Vegetine has done for me About two years ago a small sore came on my leg; it became a large Ulcer, so trouble some that I consulted the doctor, but I got no relief growing worse from day to day I suffered terribly; I could not rest day oi night; I was so reduced my friends thought I won1d never recover; I consulted a doctoi at Columbus. I followed his advice; it did no good. I can truly say I was dtiscouraged At this time I was looking over my news paper; I saw your advertisement of Vege tine, the "Great Blood-Purifier" for cleans ing the blood from all impurities, curing Humors, Ulcers, &c. I said to ny family, I will try some of the Vegetine. Before I had used the first bottle I began to feel bet ter. I made up my mind I had got the right medicine at last. I could now sleep well at nights. I continued taking the Vegetine I took thirteen bottles. My health is good. The Ulcer is gone, and I am able to attend to business. I paid about four hundred dol lars for medicine and doctors before I bought the Vegetine. I have recammended Vegetine to others with good success I always keep a bottle of it in the house now. It is a most excellent medicine. Very respectfully yours, F. ANTHONI. Mr. Anthoni is one of the pioneers of Delaware, 0. He settled here in 1834. He is a wealthy gentlemen, of the firm of F. Anthoni & Sons. Mr. Anthoni is extensive. Iy known, especially among the Germans. He is well known in Cincinnati. HE 1i re spected by all. IMPURE BLOOD.-In morbid conditions of the blood are many diseases; such as salt. rheum, ring-worm, boils, carbuncles, sores, ulcers and pimples. In this condition of the blood try the VEGETINE, and cure these affections. As a blood purifier it has no equal. Its effects are wonderful. VEGETINE Cured Her. DoRcHEsTER, MASs., June 11. DR. STEVENS: Dear Sir,-I feel it my duty to say one word in regard to the great benefit I have received from the use of one of the greatest wonders of the world; it is your Vegetine I have been one of the greatest sufferers fox the last eight years that ever could be liv ing. I do sincerely thank my God and y.uz Vegetine for the relief I have got. The Rheumatism has pained me to such an ex tent, that my feet broke out4n scres.- Foz the last three years I have not ben able to walk; now I can walk and sleer, and do my work as well as ever I did, aid I must say I owe it all to your blood purifier, Vege tine.

November woods are bare and still; November days are clear and bright; Each noon burns up the morning's chill, The morning's snow is gon4by night; Each day my steps grow slow, grow light, As through the woods I reverent creep, Watching all things lie "down to sleep." I never knew t 'ore what beds, Fragrant to smell, and soft to touch, The forest sifts, and shapes, and spreads; I never knew before how much Of human sound there is in such Low tones as through the forest sweeps When all wild things lie "down to sleep." Each day I find new coverlids Tucked in. and more sweet eyes shut tight; Sometimes the viewless mother bids Her ferns kneel down, full in my sight; I hear their chorus of "good night;" And half I smile and half I weep, Listening, while they lie "down to sleep." November woods are bare and still; November days are bright and good; Life's noon burns up life's morning chiil; Life's night rests feet which long have stood; Some warm, soft bed in field or wood The mother will not fail to keep, When we can "lay us down to sleep." THE GIRL WHO.SVED THE GENERAL -0 Far down the Carolina coast lies the lovely island of St. JohBe, where stood, one hundred years ago, a noble brick-built mansion, with lofty portico and broad piazza. It was the home of Mr. Robert Gibbes and his beautiful young wife, and the great house was full at all seasons. Eight children had already come to this good couplo, and seven little adopted cousins were their playmates-the orphan children of Mrs. Fenwick, sister to Mr. Gibbes. He himself was a cripple, and could not walk. In a chair which ra-on wheels he was drawn daily over the pleas ant paths, sometimes by the faith ful servants, sometimes by the still more devoted children, who tugged at the rope like so many frisky colts. The loveliness of the spot suited well its name of "Peaceful Retreat," by which it was known through all the coun try. But in those troublous times it could not always remain "peace ful." In the spring of 1779 the British took possession of all the sea-board. General Prevost march ed up from Savannah and laid siege to Charleston, But hearing that General Lincoln was hastening on with his army, he struck his tents in the night and re t-eated rapidly toward Savannah. He crossed the Stono Ferry, and fortified himself on John's Island, as the island of St. John's was often called. For weeks now the voice of mus ketry and heavy guns destroyed the quiet .ioy at "Peaceful IRe treat." The children, in the midst of play, would hoar the dreadful booming and suddenly .grow still and pale. . The eldest daughter, Mary Anna, was a sprightly cour ageous girl of thirteen. She had the care of all the little ones, for her mother's hands were full in managing the great estate and caring for her husband. After a time the enemy de termined to take possession of this beautiful place. A body of British and Hessians quietly captured the landing one midnight, and creep ing stealthily onward, filled the park and surrounded the house. At day-break the inmates found themselves.prisoners. Then came trying days for the family. The officers took up their quarters in the mansion, allowing the family to occupy the upper story. John's Island was loss than thirty miles from Charleston, and when the American officers in the city heard that "Peaceful Re treat" had been captured by the British, they determined to res cue it from the enemy. Two large galleys were immediately manned and equipped and sent to the plan tation, with strict orders not to Sfire upon the mansion. Sailing noiselessly up the Stono river at dead of night the vessels anhoied abreast the plantation. i looked about. She sprang up d wildly. h "Oh, Mary !" she cried, "where .e is John ?" - The little girl turned pale, and e moaned: "Oh, mother! mother! y he's left !" She broke into crying. r, The servants, quickly sympathetic, i- began to wring their hands and d wail. i- "Silence !" said Mr. Gibbes, with r, stern but trembling voice. The y tears were in his own eyes. The e liIle child now missing was very d dear to them all and, moreover, was deemed a sacred charge, as he was one of the orphan children I- of Mr. Gibbes' sister, intrufted to i him on her death-bed. The wailing ceased; there was silence, broken only by sobs, and t the master asked: y "Who is willing to go back for t the child ?" o No one spoke. Mr. Gibbes r turned to his wife for counsel. As 3. the two talked in low tones, Mrs. I- Gibbes call her husband's attentign e to Mary, who was kneeling with - clasped hands, in prayer, at the e foot of the bed. In amoment, the d little maid rose and came to them, it saying, calmly: t "Mother, I must go back after n baby." 3. "Oh, my child," cried the mo s ther, in agony, "I cannot let you.!" e "But, mother, I must," pleaded I Mary. "God will care for me." r. It was a fearful responsibility. e The guns yet roared constantly a through the darkness; the house might now be in flames; it might e be Ailed with carnage and blood. i, Mrs. Gibbes turned to her hus t band. His face was buried in his e hands. Plainly, she must decid t it herself. With streaming eyes, k she looked at Mary. o "Come here, my child," she e called through her sobs. Mary n fell upon her mother's neck. One long, passionate embrace, in which - all a mother's love and devotion y were poured out, and the clinging y arms were opened without a word. 3. Mary sprang up, kissed her e father's forehead, and sped forth t on her dangerous mission of love. e The rain had now ceased, but e the night was still dark andi full rof terrors, for through the trees r she saw the frequent flashes of o the great guns. The woods were e filled with the booming echoes, so & that cannon seemed to be on - every hand. She nlew on with all speed. Soon she heard the crash ing trees ahead, and knew that i. Sa moment she would be once more e face to face with death. She did .not falter. Now sahe was again in t the fierce whirlwind ! All around e her the shot howled and shrieked. o On every side branches fell crash ing to the earth. -A cannon-ball e plunged into the ground close be . side her, cast over her a heap of d mud, and threw her down. She d spranig up and pressed on with predoubled vigor. Not even that t ball could make her turn back. e She reached the house. She ran to the room where the little child usually slept. The bed was empty ! Distracted, she flew from e chambei- to chamber. Suddenly r she remembered that this night s ho had -been given to another nurse. Up into the third story she hurried, and, as she pushed open the door, the little fellow, sitting up in bed, cooed to her e and put out his hands. d With the tears running down d her checks, Mary wrapped the babe warmly and started down d the stairs. Out into the darkness once more ; onward with her pre cious burden, through cannon-roar, through shot and shell! Three times she passed through this iron storm. The balls still swept the forest ; the terrific booming filled the air. With the child pressed tightly e to her brave youog heart, she fled o on She neither stumbled nor e fell. The shot threw the dirt in f her face, and showered the twigs e down upon her head. But she . was not struck. In safety she 3 reached the but, and fell ex g hausted across the threshold. I. And the little boy thus saved 1, by a girl's brave devotion, after - ward became General Fenwick, d famous in the war of 1812~ Suddenly out of the thick dar ness burst a flame and roar, at the shot came crashing throug the British encampment. Ti whole place was instantly in u: roar. The officers in the hous sprang from bed, and hastil dressed and armed. The familj rudely awaked, rushed to the wir dows. A cold rain warifalling, an the soldiers, half clad, were rai ning wildly hither and thithe while the officers were franticall calling them to arms. Mary wok at the first terrible roar and fle to her mother's room. The ei citable servant uttered most pier( ing shrieks. The poor little chi dren were too frigh tened to screan but clung tremblingly to Mary. Mrs. Gibbes was in great di: tress. She knew not at firE whether it was an attack b frieods on the camp, or an assau on the house by the enemy. Sb ordered the servants to cease the wailing and dress themselve Then her husband and the chi dren were prepared; and whi the cannon bellowed in quick su cession and the noise around th house grew louder, the father an mother consulted what was bec to do. It was now evident ths the attack was by their ow friends, and its object was to di lodge the enemy. But Mr. Gibbe did.,not know ',hat the hous would not be fired on, and he ac vised instant flight. He was ca ried to his chair, and the who household sallied forth from back door. The scene was terrific. Th night was pitchy dark, and whei just as they stepped out, a shee of flame belched forth from tb vessels, it seemed to be almoi against their faces. The roar shoo the ground. The troops were tc busy saving themselves to notic the fugitives, and they pushed o as rapidly as possible. Not one was sufficiently pr( tected from the rain. Little Mar had the hardest part, for neari all the children were in her car The mud was deep. Some of tb little ones could walk but a shoi distance at a time, and had to t carried-Mary having always on sometimes two, in her arms. Sea eral of the servants were net her, but none of them seemed t notice her or her burdens. Tii last horse had been carried o that very day ; there was no e cape but on foot.

FOR THE HERALD. BROAD)BRIM'S PARIS LET TER. NO. 13. Machinery Hall-The Dore Vase-The Meo chanical Swimmers-The Singing Birds A Story of the Shah. IT is a fitting tribute to the gen ius and character of the age that the two grandest halls in the great Exposition should be devoted exclu sively to machinery. There are mighty engines there carrying, in their Titanic sinews, almost limit less power, keeping in motion world of wonderful machinery, and surely there can be no higher reve lation of the genius of man and the power of mind over matter than that afforded by this magnificent display. As you enter,the Porte Rapp, the grand avenue which exactly divides the Exposition building, lies before you; sentinels grim, but polite, guard the entrance and beautiful works of art invite you onward; only a few steps from the gate is a marvellous vase, by Gustave Dore. It is of colossal proportions and looks as if it were intended to tell the story of the Deluge. Myriads of little struggling forms cling to its green encrusted sides seeking to escape the terrible death that threatens them; on some, of the faces is an expression of mortal agony, while others seem almost paralysed 'with fear. Here and there a smile may be seen lighting the face of some little climber more fortunate than the rest, who has es caped for the moment his impend ing and seemingly inevitable fate. But whatever your desire to ex amine this miracle of art, the mighty voice of hundreds of en gines call you back asking you to pay your tribute to that which is to day the ruling power of the earth lose to the door a crowd gathers about a machine which excites uni versal wonder ; it is a giant planer under whose keen tooth the shav ings fly from a solid iron plate as if it were only a board. A little beyond a mighty trip hammer per forms in a few minutes the work of a hundred men. It is a curious thing, and one of the most instruc tive sights in the :Exhibition to see its Titanic strokes, under which the great building vibrates and trembles, guided by.the hand of a little child. Not far away the in genious sawyer turns out from the solid block fairy chairs and minia ture furniture and all sorts of in tricate puzzles. The mystery of diamond polishing is unravelled, and you see all the mysterious pro esses by which the rough gems are cut and polished and made fit to glitter in the crowns of sings. But see how that crowd across the al struggle to get .a sight of something apparently of absorbing interest. These are the wonderful mechanical swimmers, who act their characters to the life. In a tank of about four feet in circumference a miniature man and woman have plunged, both clad in bathing suits of the most approved pattern. The man strikes boldly out, and the woman follows him ; he approaches the side of the tank and looks im ploringly up at the wondering rowd, as much as to siy "are you not going to help me out; are you going to let a fellow swim about in this miserable tub all day." t is true it is only a toy, perhaps invented to amuse children, and yet, from morning till night, grey eaded old men, Princes and Dukes, grave Senators and learned doctors struggle and fight to get a sight of the mechanical swimmers. Among the mechanical wonders of this Exposition there are per aps few more delightful places than the bower of singing birds. have frequently heard a single little mechanical singer whose en hanting song has filled me with wonder and delight, but here is a whole grove of linnets, night ingales, mocking birds, thrushes, bll finches, skylarks and canaries, that make the air vocal wift lood of melody such as'seldom bough to bough, they twist the4r beautiful little heads, and look up in your face as much as to say, "now keep your eye on me." They plume their dainty little feathers with the most coquettish of airs, and end all of a sudden making the air tremble with a magnificent burst of song, which rises, swells and thrills till the vast hall, from one end to the other, seems alive with singing birds. While the exhibi tion of machinery is exceedingly grand and instructive, there is no magnificent engine that overtops all others as the Corliss engine ex ceeded everything else of the kind in the city of Philadelphia two years ago. Many of the printing presses on exhibition are miracles of genius throwing off from their lightning cylineers from twelve thousand to twenty-five thousand impressions an hour. The telephone has found its way here, and now any countryman can carry one home in his pocket for a few sous. The phonograph, too, has arrived, and in short we are up in all the latest improvements. - Things are getting dull; it's a week since we have had anything like a first-class sensation. Our roy al visitors have mostly left us and even our Shah has gone. What shall we do without our Shah ? Apropos, there is an amusing little story that has just got out which tells how fortunes are suddenly won in Paris. During the recent visit of the Shah of Persia he was invited to a grand dinner by one of the cabinet ministers. His Im perial Highness is understood to be a very healthy diner; 'and the menu was of- the most lavish and recherche description. When every thing was ready the distinguished Persian squared himself for the task before him, and arazed the company with the rapidity with which the different dishes of the feast disappeared beneath his im perial jacket. Oyster pates, calves' iaead jelly, troufies, mushrooms fried in oil, pates de foie gras, pickled lampries, with a mountain of Persian conserves, provided for the occasion, one after another vanished in rapid succession, and it is reported that the royal follower of Zroraster moistened th_e imperial clay with frequent liba.tions of Sherbet, alternated with the most delicious rum punch. At last he espied a bottle of Batty's pickles, and this was the rock on which he split. He had not put~ himself on the outside of more than a half dozen gherkins, five or six onions and a little nip of cauliflower, when he began to feel serious misgiving that something was wrong, and soon it became manifest that there was a troubled commotion in the re gion of the Imperial epigastrum. It was three o'clock in the mforning and unfortunately not a physician could be found. The whole palace was in a dreadful state of excite ment and alarm, for in another half hour, unless something was done, Persia might be mourning for her Shah and all of the Prime Min isters be doomed to the Hari Kari. An old lady who was present and whose experience, no doubt, quali leA her judgment, suggested .an emetic and a mustard- plaster which, being applied to the part most af fected,soon brought theImperial suf ferer relief. Delighted and amazed at his miraculous cure, he inquired for the inventor of the marvellous compound and was informed that it was made by Keen, the celebrated mustard manufacturer of London, whose house has been established there over a hundred years, and who have been royally endorsed for a century. Lucky Keen! Imme-i iately, it is said, that the Shah ordered a hundred cases and insist ed on every one of his ministers putting a plaster on his .stomach to see how good it felfItt is said that every one of his Imperial sub jects will be presented with a muns tard plaster, and an Imperial de ree will make it the standing med cine of the Empire. The order of the Medji is sure to follow, and-in1 the meantime the excitement has< eached the restaurants: Keen's . musta 's mustard meets you verere; blazing.placardsPro iaii4ts virtues. misnotonI salad.
