A Signach INCIDENT OF THE ‘ INDIAN MUTINY. The Most Famous of Sir Colin Campbell's Many (‘am pnlgnsâ€"A Remarkable and Romantic story of Jessie‘s Dream- lmpressive Scenes on lhe Approach of the Highlanders. Sir Colin Campbell it was who stormed Lucknow in 1857. The dream of the coporal's wife is known wherever the English language is read or spoken, and for this famous march Sir Colin Campbell, son of a Glasgow carpenter, became Lord Clvde, of Clydesdale. STURMING [1F LUUKNUW. Casaell‘s Illustrated Family Paper, of January 16, 1858, gives a true account of the remarkable and romantic story of “ Jessie’s Dream." It will be read with peculiar interest by the younger genera. tions, and we give it in full as follows, the account being related by one ofthe rescued party, the lady of an officer at Lucknow, and given in her own words: rather to die than to yield, and were fully persuaded that in twenty-four hours all would be over. The engineers had said so )nd they all knew the worst. “’9 women strove to encourage each other, and to perform the light duties which had BEEN ASSIGNED TO 03 such as conveyinger ords to the batteries and supplying men with provisions, espec- ially cups of oofl'ee, which we prepared day and night. I had gone out to try and make myself useful, in company with Jessie Brown, the wife of a corporal in my bus. band's regiment. * Poor Jessie had been in a state of restless excitement all through the siege. and had fallen away visibly within the last few days. A constant fever consumed her, and her mind wandered occasionally, especially that day, when the recollections of home seemed powerfully “ ‘Will ye no’ believe it: 1100? The slogan has ceased indeed, but the Campbells are comin’ l D‘ye hear, d’ye hpar “ At that. moment we seemed, indeed, to hear the voice of God in the distance, when the pihrooh of the Highlanders brought, us lidinge of deliverance, for now there was no longer any doubt of the fact. That shrill, penetrating, ceaseless sound, which rose above all other sounds, could come neither from the advance of the enemy nor from the work of the Sappers. No, it was indeed the blast of the Scottish bagpipes, now shrill and harsh, as threatening veu- geance on the foe, then in softer tones seem- ing to promise succour to their friends in need. On every side death stared us inthe face; no human skill could avert; it any longer. We saw the moment approach when we must bid farewell to earth, yet without feeling th'et unutterable horror which must have been experienced by the unhappy victims at Cewnpore. We were resolved resent to her. At last, overEome with atigue. she lay down on the ground, wrap- ped up in her laid. I sat beside her, promising to awn en her when, as she said, 'her father should return from the plough- ing.’ She fell at length into a profound slumber, motionless and “To describe the effect of these words on the soldiers would be impossible. For a moment they ceased firing, and every soul listened with intense anxiety. Gradually, howaver, there arose a murmur of bitter disappointment, and the wailing of the women who had flocked to the spot broke out anew, as the colonel shook his head. Our dull lowland ears heard noth- ing but the rattle of the musketry. A few moments more of this death-like suspense, of this agonizing hope, and Jessie, who had again sunk to the ground sprang to her feet, and cried, in a voice so clear and piercing that it was heard along the whole lineâ€" " Nevsr surely was there such a scene as that which followed. Not a heart in the residence of Lucknow but bowed itself be- fore God. AllI by one simultaneous Impulse fell upon their knees, and nothing was heard but bursting sobs and the murmured voice of prayer. Then all arose, and there rang out from a thousand lips & great shout of joy, which resounded far and Wide, and lent new vigour to that blessed pibroch. To our cheer of ‘ God sue the Queen,’ they replied by the well-known strain that moves every Scot to tears, ‘ Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot,’ eto. APPARENTLY BREATELESS, her head resting on my lap. I myself could no longer resist the inclination to sleep, in spite of the continual roar of the cannon. Suddenly I was aroused by a wild,unearlhly scream close to my ear; my companion stood upright beside me, her arms raised, and her head bent forward in the attitude of listening. A look of intense delight broke over her countenance.she grasped my band, drew me toward her, and exclaimedâ€" “ ‘Dinna ye hear it? dinna ye hear it? Ay. I’m no dreaming; its the slogan of the Highlanders; We’re, saved. we’re saved 1” BARK. THE SLOGAN. “Then, flinging herself on her knees, she chanted God with passionate fervor. I felt utterly bewildered; my English ear's heard only the roar of artillery, andI thought my poor Jessie was still raving ; but. she darted to the batteries, and I heard‘her cry incessantly to .the menâ€" “.After that nothing else made any im- pression on me. I scarcely remember what followed. Jessie was presented to the gen- eral on his entrance into the fort, and at the officers’ banquet her health was drunk by all present, while the pipers marched round the table laving once more the familiar air of ' AuFd Lang Syne.’ ” “ ‘Couragé ! courage {hark to the slogan â€"to the Macgregor, the grandest of them ’.N_He}'e’s hflp 9t. lagt !’ Dress is a great responsibility with woman, and the present, slyle of sleeves is merely another proof of her WilllngneSR to shoulder it.

Ghosts don’t walk in broad daylight, and yet when a woman finds herself suddenly confronted by the friend she has mourned as dead she is apt to experience a creepy sensation that isn’t down in the diction- ar . {n a case like this no amount of presence of mind or selfâ€"possession can ward off the mingled feelings of astonishment, fear, joy and curiosity that will render a woman temporarily tonguetied. It is only after again seeing the cherished smile of greeting after again feeling that there is throbbing life beneath the dainty glove, and after again hearing her own name spoken in the ever familiar voice, that this strange sen- sation vanishes. remedies in relieving and permanently curing the most obstinate cases of those diseases especially incident to women, that on first introducing these new world-famed remedies to the afflicted, and for many years thereafter. they were sold under a positive guarantee of giving entire satisfaction, in every case of disease for which they are recommended. So uniformly successful did they prove in curing diseases, derangements and weaknesses of women, that claims for the return of money paid for them were ex- ceedingly rare; but, since the manufacturers and proprietors of these remedies can now refer to thousands of noted cures effected by them in every part of the land, and in many foreign countriesI they believe this past record a sufficient guarantee of their great value as curative agents. and, there- fore. they now rest their claims to the confidence of the afflicted solely upon their pastrecord. There is scarcely aueighborhood or hamlet in this broad land of ours, in which will not be found one or more per- sons who have been cured of distressing and often dangerous diseases. by the medicines to which we referâ€"Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

And the fact that such meetings occur every day points a moral that every woman in the land should take to heart. Here was a woman in the prime of life. pursued by that sentinel which Seeks its victim, among her sex alone. From a living picture she became, in less than a year,a wreck of human wretchedness. ram despondency to despair seemed but the remaining step, the last step. HEB. LAST FAREWELL. Overcome by the prenentiment that precedes a lingering death, she asked to be removed to her old home in the West. and spoke what to all seemed to be her last farewell. In the very paper that chronicled her departure the doomed invalid found four letters written by Mrs. William Hoov- er, of Belleville, 0.; Mrs. Caroline King. of New Boston, 0.; Mrs. S. A. Monroe.Balti- more, Md., F. F. Sargent, of United States Artillery School, Fortress Monroe, Va. These letters are printed below. They told how cures had been found for cases like her ownâ€"cases of “female weakness" and shat~ tered health that had almost sapped life away. With no more hope than that which prompts the drowning man to calch at a strawâ€"for she firmly believed herself incurable, just as tens of thousands of women believe themselves incurableâ€" she followed the advice contained in these letters. The result is best told in the 1 woman's own words. “In less than five months," she writes. "I returned to my friends in the east, as well and strong in body and mind and as happy and free from pain as any woman in the world. I had gained nearly thirty pounds in weight and was so changed in face and form that when one of my dearest friends met me in broad daylight she almost fainted, for “an: BELIEVED ME DEAD.” She adds, “I owe my whole life and happinessto Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, which cured me after doctors, travel, baths, massage, and electricity, had failed to even benefit 1” Every woman in this country ought to know that there is an institution in this country where diseases peculiar to their sex have for nearly thirty years, been made a. specialty by several of the phyâ€" sicians and surgeons connected therewith. This institution is the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. In treating thousands of cases at that famous sanitarium, there have been perfected medicines which form a reguv lar, scientific course of treatment for these prevalent and most distressing ailments.

Norwood, Ont. : “ Last Christmas I could hardly walk, and was nearly doubled up with rheumatism. I pro- uired three bottles of South American Rheu- matic Cure irom W. Rutherford, druggist. of Norwood. and found it the best; and quickest acting medicine I ever saw. The first dose gave relief. and the three bottles completely cured me. I have had neither ache nor pain from rheumatism since." This woman’s osse, remarkable as it, may seem, is not an exceptional one. Thous- ands and thousands of just, such cures have been made in every State by these self-same remedies for women’s special pe- culiar disorders and diseases.
