HOP Y of a Letter from Mr. R. W. Kirkns,
Chemist, 7, Preseott Streetr Liverpool, dated
6th June, 185!. -
To Professor Holloway :
.Sir: Your Pills and Ointment have stood
tne highest on our sale list of Proprietary Medi
cines, for some years. A customer, to whom I
can refer for any enquiries, desires mc 4o let you
know the particulars of her casa. She had been
troubled for years, with a disordered liver, and
bad digestion. On . the last occasion, however,
the violence of the attack was so alarming, and
the inu.immation set in so severely, that doubts
were entertained of her not being able to bear
up under it; fortunately she was induefcd to try
your Pills and she informs me that after the
first, and each succeeding dose she had great
relief. She cont nued to take them.arrd akhnncrh
sho usi only three Boxes, she is now in the en
joyment of perfect '-health." 'I could have sent
you many more cases, but the above, from the se
verity of the attrtck, and the speedy cure, I think
speaks much in fhvor of your as oniehino- pnjs.

That sea is Time! upon its-shore,
All gloomy with the past,
What wrecks of ages, evcrm ore,

There, shivered in the sand,' are strovvn
The proudest works of Arf;
There pyramid and sphynx. o'erthrowri,
Of dust and mould are part; ;v
There, beggars sleep.embraced by kiRgs-,
And there, all silently,
Beneath oblivion's awful winrr,
Nations and r.es lie.

had sent for a mili-
tary force to aid him
saw that lie himselt, as
it had been denied ; he
the detested person,
was the cause of danger to his family. It was
therefore agreed that he should seek a chalet
situated on a mountain ten leagues distant,
where he might lie concealed till his family
joined him. Accordingly, in abase disguise,
he quitted at midnight tbe walls he was unable;
to defend: a miserable night for the unfortunate
beings left behind. .Tjie coming day was to
witness the destruction of their home; and they
beggars in the world, were to wander through
the inhospitable mountains, tin, witn cauuou.
and terror, they Could unobserved reach the
remote and miserable chalet, and learn the fate
of the unhappy fugitive. It was a sleepless
night for all. To add to Madame's agony,she
knew that her soir's life was in danger in
paris that he had been denounced, and
though yet pntaken, his escape was still uncer
tain. From flie turret of the castle, that situa
ted high on a rock,' commanded the valley be
low, she sat the livelong night watching for
every sound ieanui: ui some buuui, o...mv-iv
poTt of fire-arais, which would announce the
capture of her husband. It wvas September;
the nights were chill; pale' and trembling, she
saw day break over the hills. Fanny had bu

then groups of two or three, -who , were even
more violent in gesture and menace ; when
suddenly the sound -of many steps came "on

Chaumont with a band of about twenty disci

" Feai- not," he said to Madame de MarvilTe ;

With a shriek, the lady, in answer, threw
herself in Fanny's arms, crying.
"He is here ! save me f hc will murder us."
