Hath traced a story Of unreal woes.
But an the signs that mur,nur in mine ear,
The torrents gushing from thousand Dyes,
The groans of anguish that Cypress the air,
Tell of a fearful truth
The banquet board was spread,
And joyous were ranged on either hand,
Mirth sparkled in each eye, aud rugged checks
Forsook their sternness, for the smile of love
But oh, the brightness Of that festive hour
Was as the beaming Of III unconscious sun,
Who in his glory, recks not of the storm
That from the depths Of darkness rushing forth,
Will soon oerwhclm him in food Of night
Hark hari, but hold--thut deed of death is past
Ye heard a hurt, as Of a battles roar,
When fearful thunderings boom along the air ?
Twas then
Then that the noble, beautiful, and young,
The hardy md the gentle, there convened,
Were swept away, as with wbirlwind blast.
But some were thore that never thought on
doutb,
And Sonic too good to die, and some whose
kearts
Were lirkcd with others by the vow of love.
Were Mese mt spared?
All no the thoughtess found a dreamless grave,
Those souls where pety had left her sign
Winged off to Heaven: all the tender ties
From loves first sken thread, to Hynons band
Were rent asunder in that mighty woe
Do yc remember ono commanding there,
Whose noble bearing, We did so admire.
Whose eye could melt in love OF peer or death
Mild as the evening tint, or stern as day.

Oh he was hallowed for boiler sphere,
And he hath gone gone where the saints abide
Yet oft, ween, down from bis starry home
Swift on his golden pinons he desccnds,
And hov'ring round his lov'd one, breathes
strain
OF holy consolation, whispering sweet
or all the glories he hath gazed upon,
And Of the eostacies that she shall know
When he shall wait her to that bloss'd abode
Then Joy thee widow Z, thou indeed art ref

Hath sunk in deaths deep stream, but there's :

And woos thy spirit to sCpcec on God.

Tell me my heart, why thou art sad,
And why thou beat'st so heavily,
Remains there Dought to make thee glad,
And chase away this gloom from thee'
III.
Yet why should'st thou be glad ?.-the hour
For such feeling long has gone;
And fearful clouds around thee low'r,
To shew that thou art all alone.
And why should'st thou more freely beat,
Since absent is that long lov'd one
Who with kind looks, and accents sweet,
Would never let thee be alone
w
To thee, there should not now remain,
That which could aught of gladness own,
Pleasure to thee would be but pain,
For absent one, thou'rt all alone
V.
But thine should be unceasing gloom,
Such sorrow as to mans unknown;
And ever, till within the tomb,
Should'st know that thou art all alone.

This medicine had been used for more than years
before an effor, was made t. initiate IT; but the great
demand for it, and its wonderful success have induced
great number persons to initiate it in various ways
upwards of fifty different mixtures have been got
up in imitation of it. which IS convincing proof OF
its being medicine of great value Some are selling
sarsapariila and other syrups, imposing them on the
ignorant for the Panaceai Others mixing the genu
inc me1Deine with molasses, SC, making three bottles
out of one; thus retaining of its virtues others
are using the genuine Panacea in their bottles to per
forpGures, to obtain certificates to give their own
reputation &C. Some have even resorted to perjury
to deceive the public. These limitations and adultera-
tons have, in many instances, protracted the suffer
ings of patients III diseases where the genuine swam's
Panacea would have proved instantly eficacious. ]
therefore deem it duty owe the public to assure
