TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES

Dear Sir,—l am willing to bet ten guineas that no Photographer
in town can produce a more correct "group" than the followin
speaking likeness, dug from the pages of " Ingoldsby Legends"
—vide Dead Drummer)—only two or three words altered. I
think it would make a good companion piece to the Butterman'S
present advertisement descriptive of " the" place. I'm certain
Kelly will give it a turn if his regulations permit, and I remain,
dear sir, yours as usual, THOMAS INOOLDSBY.
Tapington, January 13, 1859.

PHOTOGRAPHY
A couple of travellers * * * *
Were making their way ;
Their profession, you'd say,

The smart cap, white apron, and smooth fdee, worn then—
With scarce an exception, by all Edward's men ;
Blue jacket, loose trousers " bows'd up together"—all
Guiltless of braces, as those of Charles Wetherall ;
The Pigeon-toed step, and the rollicking motion, •
Caused them to resemble two sons of the ocean.
The cove in advance was sturdy and strong,
With arms uncommonly bony and long;
Then his Guernsey shirt
Showed not one speck of dirt;
That—these men would think inconvenient and wrong.
He was very broad-breasted,
And very deep-chested ;
And his muscular frame correspond with the rest did,
Except as to height, for he could not be more
At the most, you would say, than some five feet four,
And if measured, perhaps had been found a thought lower.
Dame Nature in fact, whom some person or other,
—A poet - has called a " capricious step-mother,"
You saw when beside him,
Had something denied him,
In longitude what she had granted in lattitude,
A trifling defect,
You'd the sooner detect,
'Cause 'he never contracted a stoop in his attitude.
Square built and broad-shouldered, good-humoured and gay,
With his collar and countenance open as day,
The latter— ('twas marked with four eyes by the way)—
Had a sort of expression goodwill to bespeak ;
He'd a smile in his eye, and a "quid"o in his cheek !j
And, in short, notwithstanding his failure in height,
He was just such a man as you'd say, at first sight,
You would much rather dine, or shake bands with, than flight
iuo other (his much-esteemed foreman) was taller,
By four or five inches at least, than the smaller.
From his air and his mien,
It was plain to be seen,
That he was; or had been, •'
A something between
The real "Jack Tar" and the "Jolly Marine."
For though he would give an occasional hitch,
Sailor like, to his " breex," there was something the which
On the whole, savour'd more of lump butter than pitch.
You will probably now wish their two names to know,
The first is—" the" Kelly, the second is Joe.

Not baccy, but a sly hit at the Butterman's propensity for
quotations, "qui quae quod tel quid."

THE GREAT PURIFIER OF THE .BLOOD.
OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S GENUINE
ORIGINAL AMERICAN SARSAPARILLA is the noblest
preparation of this invaluable root ever discovered. It was intro-
duced into England in 1851, and proved by experience to be the
great purifier of the blood—unparalleled in efficacy to invigorate the
constitution by eradicating all impurities from the system. It
affords the greatest relief in all cases arising from irregular or
obstructed perspiration, colds, &c., and all cutaneous disorders,
giving a clear and healthy appearance to the skin. Extended par-
ticulars of this extraordinary !Amercan Medicine may be procured
of all Agents in London and and the Country.

RESTORATION OF VOICE BY KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES'

G/asgo
Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you of the great ef,
your excellent Conon LOZENGES have done me. In Decersu_-
let
I caught a severe cold from riding two or three miles, one veil
night, which settled in my lungs, and quite took away my vttg
so that I could not speak above a whisper from that time no
December last. I tried all kinds of medicines, but they were ofl
avail. I was then advised to try your Lozenges, which I did „
to please my friends, but before I had finished a 2s 9d tin, my
to my great joy, came back as strong as ever.
espectfully,
Thomas Keating, Esq.

" Dr. Inman argues with such force and clearness, that we shOltdo
be surprised, if he does not gain many adherents, and do more
