The American Newspaper Directory is an
epitome of newspaper history. It is also re
garded as an official register of circulations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers of the Directory to
secure correct and trustworthy reports Is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered to with
Impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by a comparison, are gener
ally prompt, not only to send reports in con
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. Howell & Co.
such lulormation as enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders In
Journalism. The popularity or the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
raltb, are attested by the Immense body of ad
vertisements it receives. 4 28
Bronchitis.
From John Flagg.Esq., of Bennington, N.H.
"Three years since I was very much reduced
with a dreadful Cough, which resulted in
Bronchitis, affecting me so severely as to ren
der it difficult to speak In an audible voice. To
this was added severe night sweats, and I was
fearful of going Into a decline. After recourse
to various remedies, to no purpose, I made use
of Dk. Wistar's Balsam op Wild Cherry, a
few bottles oi which fully restored meto health.
Since that time I have had several severe at
tacks ol Cough, but the Balsam has always re
moved them. I always keep it by me, and
should not know how to do without It." Sold

A NEW ILLUSTRATED POEM.

"You'd bettor try to earn your bread
Than like the birds to bill and coo !
Twill do for them to sigh and woo, m
For they have nothing else to do."
DAVID AND ANNA MATSON,
St
By Mrs. A-toigraU Scott Duniway,
Editor "New Northwest," Portland, Oregon,
WITH BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS, AND ELEGANTLY BOUND.
A new epic, from a vigorous and skillful pen, on a subject which occupies a large place in the
social discussions of the day. The subject Is taken Irom Mr. Whlttler's short narrative of "Da
vid Matson," with which the reader Is probably familiar. David Matson, a Merrlmac sailor,
was captured by the Algerlnes (during one of his voyages) and sold Into slavery. After many
years h 'obtained release and was on bis way to the home of his boyhood, when he fell in with
his old employer, who informed him that his wife, believing him dead, had remarried, and,
stunned by his trouble, he surrendered all claim as husband and father to the man who had
stepped into his place, and departed. Mrs. Dunlway has found a theme in this story with
which her heart beats In warmest sympathy, and her lines flow on In the smooth cadence in
dicative of the fullest accord. She pictures the gentle, tender, trustrul Anna and the wily, cov
etous Pelatlah In vivid colors; and how years of poverty and longing, and the cries or tbe hun
gry boys, compelled poor Anna to yield to Pelatlah's Importunity,
"Rise, rejoice,
My poor, unmated dove," said he,
" And look henceforth for love to me."
A little further on he says :
" Become my wife and you shall be
Made happy through prosperity,"
While, if she persists in declining his advances, wolf-like, he threatens to abandon her to star
vation and cold. And this Pelatlah was a "deacon,"
" In exhortations deep and loud."
The wanderings of David, his captivity, release, hapless Interview with Pelatlah, discovery ot
Anna's second wifehood, and his sad going back to Algeria, are all told so pathetically that our
leellngs aie deeply enlisted. No one, with any true sentiment, can read tbe poem without be
ing thoroughly stirred. The illustrations are In admirable keeping with the passages they are
designed to portray, and a fine engraving of tbe author is a fitting frontispiece. Tbe subject
spirit, flre and passion of the poem should give it an extensive reading, aside from the lnteres
which the literary reputation of the author must awaken in It. As a specimen of book-making
the volume is certainly beautiful, and would adorn any center-table.
We know of no work so well adapted as a holiday present. It is printed on heavy tinted pa
per and most beautifully bound, pilce, $2 00; full gilt extra, $2 50. For sale by book-sellers, or
by mail, post-paid, by
