THE SHoW STORM.


1t is chilly day the sun has hid
Himself behind the clouds that veil the sky;
There is no beam that warns the frigid fields I;
All that, which once my gazing eye well
+. pleas'd,
Looks drear; and every stream that muir
mur'd on
ratified DER
Its pebbled bed, congeals and turns to ice.
But Just above my dwelling climbs the smoke,
And forms cloud that hangs portending
storms.
The glowing fire, that heats the Preside hot,
Scarce warns me. All is chill, and whistling
winds
Forewarn that soon storm will fill the air,
And whiten all the tract that stretches wide.
The forest groans, and utters forth those
sounds,
That tell that Winter yields his tyrant rod.
Methinks he now shows forth his hoary head
For 'mong the trees, see, thick falling round,
Like leaves in Autumn shaken by the wind,
The fakes of snow that dress in white the
ground.
o chilling Potentate thy coming stay;
Do hear my prayer: no more my limbs benumb.
All me-! how ruthless-sure 'tis that, with all
His clustering and sleet, he hears me not.
See here-the broad horizon, that just now
Appear'd to reach as far as eye could ken,
Becomes confin'd to bounds that reach not far
The reverend elm, that high o'ertops my cot
Around whose trunk and limbs the SHOWS, in
years
Gone by, here flung garb quite colourless,
Bows down bis lofty top, and seems to shake
The snow from off his leafess, pendant boughs.
hear sound, as if the storms more fierce
IT'S so; it comes and buries deep in drifts
The walls and fence that line the highway
side,
And herds and focks, if chance they be un'
stall'd.
See where the sleet blows on from drift tc
drift
And mind what strange effect the storm ha'
had
And how the hills appear deep clad in snow.
The wind, not yet gone down, sweeps through
the wood,
And brings dismal, harsh, uncheerful sound
Of creaking branches, writh'd and toss'd
about;
While round my window whirl the yellow
leaves
Ths grew on some tall tree, now bending low
IT'S winter! 10, all nature wears look
That saddeus. and an aspect void Of cheer.
But why complain thus at Winters looks?
The jingling bells will soon dispel its gloom,
And all the town win be busy scene.

JenkS's AHeviQtoy.

THIS Machine was invented
IL by the Subscriber, in the summer OF
1922, whilst confined to his bed with a leg
badly fractured, and has subsequently been
introduced into various hospitals and private
families, where its usefulness has been suffi-
GENTLY attested, as will appear by the suboin.
ed certificate. The Proprietor has had it in
successful operation in various cases of disease,
&c. such as fractured hips, thighs, legs, infiam-
matory rheumatism and fevers. Its impor-
lance to society cannot be too highly appre-
ciated, when it is remembered that, by the
use of the Alleviator, the bed OF sickness and
distress is Invested of many of its woes, and the
hours of pain and wretchedness are rendered
more tolerable, if not entirely Invested of their
fortunes. The inventor has obtained patent
for the machine, and it is now offered for sale
TO humane and discriminating Publick, on
liberal and accommodating terms.
JOHN C. jerks.
Providence, April 10, 1924.
The following certificate of DR.. Warren NAV
be considered sufficient evidence of its useful
ness, although many more equally respectable
might be offered.
Certificate from John C. Warren, NJ. d. of
Boston, Principal of the Massa-
chuscHs Hospital.
Mr.. J. C. jerks having requested my O.
pinion Of his Machine for raising the sick and
wounded from bed. have examined it, and
found it well calculated for the purpose. In
order to test its practical utility, i desired him
to convey it to the Massachusetts, General
Hospital, and have repeatedly employed it
there, particularly in case of fractured thigh,
accompanied with delirium, and found it high
ly useful. Considering it therefore valua-
BILE invention, | very heartily recommend it
for the use of hospitals, and for all private pa
tients who may be in need of it.
JOHN c. WARREN,
Pr,ncip. Mass. Hospital.
The above machine is so constructed
that one person may with perfect ease raise
another, however heavy, from the bed, for the
purpose Of making it or changing the linen, &c.
For sale or to be let by GREEN g.
HAYWOOD. Physicians and those requir-
ing these Machines, are requested to call and
examine them.
