STEVENS: Dear Sir,-I wish to give you this testi mony, that you may know, and let others 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 or night; I was so reduced my friends thought I wonld never recover; I consulted a doctor at Columbus. I followed his advice; it did no good. I can truly say I was discouraged. 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 my 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 recommended 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 in131. He is a wealthy gentlemen, of the firm of F. Anthoni & Sons. Mr. Anthoni is extensive ly known, especially among the Germans. He is well known in Cincinnati. He is 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 tiese affections. As a blood purifier it has no equal. Its effects are wondertul. 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 yonr Vegetine. I have been one of the greatest sufferers for the last eight years that ever could be liv ing. I do sincerely thank my God and your Veetine for the relief I have got. The Rheumatism has pained me to such an ex tent, that my feet broke out in sores. For the last three years I have not been able to walk; now I can walk and sleep, and do my work as well as ever I did, and I must say I owe it all to your blood purifier, Vege tine. MARGERY WELLS. VEGETINE.-The great success of the VEG ETINE as a cleanser and purifier ol the blood is shown beyond a doubt by the great num bers who have taken it, and received im mediate relief, with such remarkable cures. VEGETINE Is better than any MEDICINE. HENDEESON, Ky., Dec., 1877. I have used H. R. Stevens' Vegetine, and like it better than any medicine I have used for purifying the blood. One bottle of Vegetine accomplished more good than all other medicines 1 have taken. THOS. LYNE, Henderson, Ky. VEGETIN'E is composed of Roots, Barks, and Herbs. It is very pleasant to take; every child likes it. VEGE TINE Recommended by M. D.'s. H. B. STEVENs: Dear Sir,-I have sold Vegetine for a long time, and f Lnd it gives most excellent satis faction. A.

FOR THE HERALP. b &ROADBRIl9'S PARIS LET- t TEIC, t NO. 14. a The Latin Quarter. 0 On the opposite side of the river, b b rom where the dark towers of I Totre Dame frown down upon the 9 Seine, is a network of little narrow 0 streets and lanes which have re- C mained unaltered for ages. The i1 conoclast has been at work all s iround them; grand boulevards 1 have been laid out in their vicinity; e 3tately buildings have been erected 'I n every side; all Paris has ex- t perienced more or less the rage of t public improvements; but, in the 1 section of which I speak, things re- I main substantially as they were 0 hundreds of years ago. Many of c the streets are so narrow that the c sun never shines in them even at c :igh noon. All the doors are r lamped and bolted with iron, and E the windows are heavily barred. In I he narrowest streets the air is r lamp and humid and smells musty c and clammy, as if you were enter- y ng a sepulcher. It is not a pleas- r nt place to wander in after night- r all, for most of the streets are des- I bitute of lamps and thiis quarter is 11 the paradise of thieves and re- t eivers of stolen goods. All the I houses have high pointed roofs 1 with deep overhanging gables s which, from the dingy little shops t beneath, almost shut out the light I of day. Gaudy looking ball dresses i and articles of faded finery hang i for sale at many of the doors, and g watches, rings and breastpins, the E proceeds of many a robbery, are ~ Iemptingly displayed in the win-' dows. Slatternly looking women 1 and fierce looking men of no par- t icular occupation, sit along the t narrow sidewalks, conversing in a I patois scarcely understood outside I the limits of their ancient guild, i and discussing with evident relish a their sour wine and black bread, t garnished with garlics and Swiss t cheese. From many of the win- 1I dows weak little vines and clusters i of sickly flowers look imploringly I up towards the sun. The casual I visitor making his rounds in broad i daylight is curiously scanned and cautiously watched as if he ] were an intruder. Historically< the place is beyond all estimate in- 1 teres ting. Only a linile distance off is the. Conciergerie, the terrible prison of the Revolution, from which so many gallant and nobJ' i men and women were carried to< the guillotine upon the Place de la Concorde. Close by is St. Ger- i main des Pres, the oldest church in Paris. Among its crumbling tow ers lies the dust of-more than eight i hundred years, and beneath its7time worn roof are the ashes of James, < the Great Duke of Douglas, and < Casimir, the priestly King of Po- i land, who renounced a crown for a cloister, and many' others whose names will be remembered in his tory till time shall be no more. This may be called the picket line1 of the Latin Quarter. Within sight, on the opposite side of the river,) is the church of St. Germain< l'Auxerrois, from the little belfry of which the faal signal was givein or the dreadful massc-cre of the luguenots on the night of the 23d >f August, 1572. Within rifle shot s the College of France in whose ime-worn chapel reposes all that 3 mortal of the great Armand, dne le Richelieu; and a little beyond ises the mighty dome of the Pan heon, where, in the days of the tevolution, a naked courtisane was 7orshipped as - goddess. The bas elief above the door was the work ,f the grert sculptor David who sat s president of the Convention rhich sent Louis the Sixteenth D the scaffold ; Mirabeau and Marat rere buried here, and .m onu ients were erected to Voltaire and ean Jacques Rousdeau. It is only birty years ago last June since its Itars and its porch were covered rith blood, 4nd that the great quare around it was filled with the arcasses of the slain. On every side are dusty book tores 'and cheap stands, where econd-hand literature is retailed nd where the seeker afterlnow 3dge may find anything suited to is needs, from translation of Le Illiad to Fasquelles French rammar. It is in this quar r that the students dwell, nd those having sons to educate rould do well to see how they live. hey come lere from every quarter f the world; the booer who has een lucky in the diamond fields of outh Africa sends his son here. 'he planter of Cuba, the Grandee f Spain, the fortunate miner of alifornia. The idea has been idustriously circulated that the chools -of Paris are so superior that .ke advantages cannot be found sewhere. Perhaps this is so. 'he measureless power of the na [on which has enriched the world's reasury with the marvellous know ldge of Arago, Leverrier, Gay jussac, Cuvier and thousands up n thousands of others cannot be verestimated ; but in ninety-nine ases out of a hundred, it is pur hased at a price that no father or other would be willing to pay. cience is here, deep and profound. Iere, in the late hours of the ight, from the little narrow win ow lights may be seen flickering here students are striving to un avel the most intricate of nature's 2ysteries. Your sons may come 'ack to you able to weild a steady nife where the nerves quiver and be life goes out ; every fiber of the uman frame may lay before him ike a map; he may unfold the rnderful history of the stars ; all he hidden secrets of nature may ie known to him ;he may be able o tell you how layer after layer as piled upon this ponderous ~lobe from the time that it was hot a molten mass from its parent uan to the instant when God said: -Let there be light." All know edge in the heavens above, or in he earth beneath, or in the waters hat are under the earth may be is, but he will come back to you eartleSs, soulless, Godless, doubt ng the honesty of his own father ad the virtue of his mother, and he chastity 'of his wife and his sis r. Here, among the cloisters of :nowledge, is an atmosphere of 'ottenness and licentiousness scarce y conceivable by those who have ot witnessed it. In this quarter~ s the infamous Closerie des Lilas, ihere the students hold their week y balls ; women destitute of shasme, :overed with gew gaws, painted, >edzened and powdered, .lure the >oor flies to the broad highway of 'uin. Phrynes driven out from the nore respectable associations of heir class here find refuge and ompanionship. On a fashionable aight carriages may be seen rolling ap here from every quarter. A long ne of pedestrians hold the side ~valk gradually working their way :owards the door within the place ~warms like a hive, and the grand laning hall illuminated by myriads f lights, is brilliant as the day. In ~he centre an orchestra of accom lished musicians perform the most avishing music. Four couples rush ~rom among the throng and comn nence a series of figures much nore expressive than polite. The ~entlemen turn summersaults and iandsprings, and occasionally stand an their heads, and if the ladies do ot follow suit it is simply for lack f ability. Certainly no desire of personal concealment governs them, and motives of delicacy are un worthy of consideration. The mu sic increases to a tempest, and the dancers act like maniacs ; 'they seize each other and fling them selves violently around, arms and legs of men and women fly over the heads of the crowd. Shreiks, cries and bravos rend the air, and the exhausted dancers stagger off to the little tables in the grove to gather new inspiration from deep draughto of cognac or repeated libations of champagne. It was a holiday night and the Closerie des Lilas was crowded as usual, and prominent among the most reckless dancers on the floor was Henry M...., from Louisiana. In person he was tal and handsome, with dark curling hair and dark eyes, just the figure to shine in such a place. His mistress, Marie la Reine, as she was called, was one of the most beautiful lorettes in the Latin Quarter. His father had been a wealthy planter in L4ouisiana be fore t4e war, whose property had been -lost in the rebellion. He fell fighting for the lost cause in the Confederate ranks at Shiloh, leav ing a youthful widow and this boy, The widow gathered the scattered wreck of her fortune, and dedicated it to the education of her son ; whatever advantage the South afforded she gave him, living her self in the most pinching poverty and denying herself even the ne cessaries of life. Some one ad vised her to send him. to France, and God only knows the years of struggle that ensued while the son grew drunk with the riot of Paris and the poor mother toiled on in poverty. At last his letters failed, and she heard from him no more, and then came the bitterness worse than death to think that, after all of her sacrifice, she was forgotten. At last the yearning of her heart stung to its uttermost tension could endure no more and she re solved to cross the sea. By beg ging and pawning the last few rem nants of her jewelry, she gathered enough to pay her passage and ar rived in Paris on the night of the Fete-Dieu. She sought her son at his lodgings, but he had gone to the Closerie ball. Thither she dragged her weary frame and sought her loved boy among the throng. There was loud applause from a crowd of frantic dancers near her. A little demon, in stri ped stockings, shrieked.and danced with the wildest gestures, flying her arms above her head, being en couraged by the young man oppo site who seemed infatuated with her madness. When the dance was at its heights, a wild shriek rent the air and a poor woman, in a faded black dress, lay dead upon the foor. Truly yours, BROADBRIM. A YANKEE TRICK.-"What do you charge for' board ?" asked a tall Green Mountain boy, as he walked up to the bar of a second rate hotel in New York ; "what do you ask a week for board and lodg ing ?" "Five dollars." "Five dollars ! that's too muecb, but I s'pose you allow for the times I am absent from dinner and sup per ?" "Certainly, thirty-seven and a half cents each." Here the conversation ended, and the Yankee took up his quar ters for tw~o weeks. During this time he lodged and breakfasted at the hotel, but did not take either dinner or supper, saying his busi ness 'detained him in another portion of the town. At the ex piration of two weeks he again walked to the bar and said : "S'pose we settle that account I'm going in a few minutes." The landlord handed him his bill: "Two weeks board at five dollars-ten dollars." "Here stranger," said the Yan kee, "this's wrong-you've not deducted the time I was absent from dinner and supper-14 days, two meals per day ; 28 meals at 371 cents each-$10.50. If you've not got the fifty cents that is due to me, I'll take a drink and the balance in cigars." Time is money. FOR THE HERALD. THE STORMING OF FORT! SNOW. BY T. P. S. "All in the fortress were at rest, When sqdden on their ear did burst An awful crash, as if some gust Swept by," &c. History records many daring acts exhibiting the courage and invincible determination of man. The siege of Troy, drawn by the graphic pen of Homer, is a standing monument of 'the hardiness and boldness, of the en ergy and firmness of the human char acter. The design and the storming of Quebec by scarcely a thousand men, who waded streams, climbed mountains, scaled precipices, endured toil, privation, cold and famine, until they stood at lait upon the Plains of I t Abraham, where, amidst the thunder t of cannon they marched against a well fortified place, is one of the sublimest sights American history furnishes. t The storming of Stoney Point, by mad t Anthony and his gallant band, who, I with bayonets glittering in the flash of the enemy's guns, swept over the living and the dead, smote down vet eran ranks,.rolled back the tide of op position, rung the heavens with their wild buzzas and planted the stars and the stripes upon its heights, was a brilliant achievment and worthy the pen of the most eloquent historian. These ate occurrences of the past they live, they breathe, they speak and have become classic on the historic page. Each age, each century, is re markable for some extraordinary event, and sections of country acquire noto riety from some peculiar local circum stance. As such the Storming of Fort Snow I occupies a place in the past history of I Newberry County. Long and stoutly I it withstood siege after siege. But alas! it fell. This fortress was situ ated between here and Helena, and 1 was considered impregnable. It was known in vulgar parlance as "Blue Ruin." Here rested for months the 1 gallant troops of Maj. Van Horn. It was washed by a branch on one side, and the Railroad on the other. Be-. sides these natural defences, it was provided with batten doors and stout window shutters, and was garrisoned1 by five women, veteran troops (each one of whom was equal to thirteen yoke of oxen, or an army of 300,000< men, for history informs us that the wife of Darius exercised an influence over Alexander which no 800,000 men could effect,) and one man armed with a two gallon syringe. The gar rison were sufficient, every one will see, to have driven back five-aye 5, 000 times the forces that assailed it. 'Twas on the evening of the 17th September, 1858, that a force of some thing less than a hundred men, illy provided with arms, save a few mis siles (not known in ancient warfare) such as brickbats; and destitute of heavy ordnance necessary to carry on a regular siege, might have been seen on their winding way. Twilight came on, and the mild breezes of the autumn evening stole gently through the trem bling foliage above. The stars came out in the sky, and the new moon dim ly shone out in the western horizon. All was sweet and peaceful. While nature was thus reposing, the band of besiegers, with their souls wrought up to the highest pitch, stood beneath a venerable oak in the gathering shades, anxiously gazing in the direction of the Fort. The besieged were wrap ped in the arms of Morpheus. The cackling of a goose saved the citadel of Rome. The scratch of a thistle on the shin of a Dane saved the Scottish army- The barking of a fice-dog, of about the 29th magnitude, saved the garrison of Fort Snow from being cap tured. They awoke to the tramp,i tramp, tramp of armed men. Who'si that ? came up out of the Fort. The besiegers stopped-all hope of a sur. prise was lost. They demanded a sur render, but the reply was one of de fiance. Undismayed, however, the besiegers stood firm, closed sternlyi around their leader, and attempted, after the manner of the ancients, by the use of a log as a battering ram to take it by storm. Fiercely they rushed, 'twas freedom invited them, No shrill sounding trumpet to battle excited them, The banner of virtue unfairl'd did wave o'er them, The heroes rushed on, and the door fell before them, .The squirt of the two gallon syringe, filled with boiling water, tinctured vith red pepper, was the only answer 1 ,o the charge, and they were compelled o withdraw. But what of this ? Pru lence is the better part (f valor. Bo e aparte fled from Moscow, Julian re- a reated from the desert, Suwarrow over b he Alps, Washington across the Del- b ware, and the weaponless besiegers E if Fort Snow were right in withdraw ng. They retired to arm themselves. leeruits flocked to. their standard. ilently but firmly they returned to he attack. Tbey came up to the dark 0 ooking fortress-but the besieged had eft. No sentinel stood at the door- f Prim and still its walls loomed up to b iew. Maddened and infuriated at s he previous resistance, with one wild $ hout they rushed forward. - The loors and windows were unhinged- o: ioards, shingles, covering, went flyig o and fro in every direction, whi!e he command "Root up trunk and ranch, demolish it," rang in startling n ceents on the midnight air. When TI he rosy fingers of Aurora unlocked T he Golden Gates of the East, and A eams of light came pouring forth, A Tort Snow was a wreck, razed and lev lied with the earth, while a death si- d ence shrouded the spot. s 'Tis o'er, the battle shout has died, By railroad, forest and streamlet's tide, M And fragments far and wide Lay scatter'd, broken, on ev'ry side. Where once the old fort stood, Is now a thick, pine, leafy, wood, Where daisies grow and bloom and bud, A And cattle graze and chew their cad; Thus fade the relics of the long ago, Yet passers-by would never know, Except some neighbor stops to show, Where stood the ancient Fort of Snow. d OBEYING HIS MOTHER PLEASANTLY. t d Harry had seen some older boys o ly their kites from the top of the iouses; and he thought it would d )e nice fun if he could do so too. ;o he came to his aunt and said, tl 'Aunt, may I go up to the top of ,he house and fly my kite?" - t His aunt wished to do every- I ,hing to please him ; but she a hought it very unsafe,. so she d aid, "No, Harry, my boy.

"Can't you take the baby out ~o ride ? Get out the carriage, o Lnd I'll bring him down." "All right," shouted the boy, as b 1e put his top away in his pocket, r Lnd hastened to obey his mother.

"1 n wvant to see those baskets again ft ;hat I was looking at yesterday." .t' "Oh yes, Hary," said his uncle; n 'I shall be very glad to have you." "But I cannot spare you to-day, Earry," said his mother. "I want a rou to go out with me. You shall o to the shop another day." "All right," said Harry, and he went on with his breakfast. No matter what Harry was taked to do, or what refusal he Det with when asking for any hing, his constant answer was, 'All right." He never st-pped to wvorry or tease. He never asked, 'Why can't I?" or, "Why musn't [ ?" Harry had not only learned o obey, but he had learned to bey in good humor. A young lady who wanted a 2ew pull-back, hearing that gold was down to "Pa," was almost a >roken hearted on being told by p aim that he was unable, never- y heless, to pay for it. A Wyoming man won ten dol ars on a wager by eating twenty 3 ~igs' feet. This was a pig's feat, ndeed. The wealth of a man is the a aumber of things which he loves and blesses-which he is loved.
