The American- Newspaper Dikectorv 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. Rowell fc Co.
such information ns enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders In
Journalism. The popularity of the book, and
the general confidence In its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad
vertisements it receives. 4 26
Courtis null Coliln
From Samuel A. Walker.Esq., the well-known
Real Estate Auctioneer of Boston.
"Ilavlng experienced results of a satisfactory
character from the use of Wistar's Balsam op
Wild Cherry, in cases of severe colds, during
the past two years, I have full faith in Its reno
vating power. I was first Induced to try this
medicine by the strong recommendation of a
friend, who was well-nigh gone with consump
tion, and whose relief from the use or it satis
fled me of its great value in cases of colds and
decline, and most clearly demonstrated to my
mind its great value as a restorative, that only
needs a fair trial to Insure a grateful recogni
tion from the publle." Sold by all druggists.

DAYID AND ANNA MATSOJNfr
By Mrs. -AJbigrail 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 Merrimac sailor,
was captured by the Algerlnes (during one of his
years he obtained release and was on his way to
his old employer, who informed him that his
stunned by his trouble, he surrendered all claim as husband and father to the man who had
stepped Into his place, and departed. Mrs. Duniway 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 fullestaccord. She pictures the gentle, tender, trustful Anna and the wily, cov
etous Pelatlah in vivid colors; and how years of poverty and longing, and the cries of the 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
iecllngs at e deeply enlisted. No one, with any true sentiment, can read the 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 the author is a fitting frontispiece. The snbject
spirit, Are and passion of the poem should give it an extensive reading, aside from the interest
which the literary reputation of the author must awaken in It. As a specimen of book-making
the volume is certain! beautiful, and would adorn any center-table.
