WE MISS THEE, MOTHER.

We miss thee, mother from those pleasant places
Where thy soft glances aud smiles used TO shine
Upon light forms and fair familiar faces.
And gladden. hearts tha, knew no love but thine:
We miss thee from the family board and hearth.
And Gom our scenes of mirth.
We miss thee when the voice Of spring is calling
The young birds forth, and song birds TO the trees;
When sparkling snow wreaths round our green
paths falling.
Melt TO tho first signs Of the Weakening breeze,
When the low chant Of distant waves are heard.
BY Springs soft brealhings stirred.
We miss thee whcn the bright Spring no longer
fingers,
With velvet footsteps mid the ruslling leaves,
And when glad summer. with her rosy fnge,s,
brighter spell around each flow ret weaves,
Deep'nns their earl, l,urs, and TO their bloom
Adding more soh perfume.
We miss. at silent eve, the half-heanl whisper,
In which thou erst ddst breathe thy nightly
prayer,
As in thine arms ,houd's, fold each tiny lisper,
The objects Of thy earliest love and care.
And pray that we nigh, be one family band
In that bright, better land.
And though we've miss d thee long. my fond
heart beating.
Thinks every voice hear must be thine own,
And to my lips rise gentle words Of greeting,
TO welcome back tho lov'd aud missing one
But thou wilt never cross our threshold door
Thou art on earth no more.
Thou art where low toned lutes breathe si.yery
gushes,
Or sweetness to the listening ones on high,
Like the winds music, NJ il hahilp ru,hes
Ger waters, leaping to the moon-lit sky,
In the deep quiet of n summer e,en-
Mother, thou art in Heaven!

II have seen the silly round OF business aud
pleasure, and have done with all. have en-
loved all the pleasures of the world, and con-
scquently know their futllity, and do not re-
gret their loss. Iapprise them nt their real
value, which. in truth, is very low; whereas
those. who have not experienced, always
overrae them They only see the gay out
side, and are dazzled with the glare. But
have been behind the scenes. When re-

hrnrd, and what have done, cannot per-

The dying scene OF such man Is fearful
commentary upon his misspcnt life. lie lies
upon his dying bed, annoying all around him
by his irritabl,y. The retrospect of the past
affords him no pleasure, and the future is fill

lies, broodlng in sulen silence upon the pre-

yFNlIE original Vegetable Hygeian Universal
a Medicine, prepared by w. Miskin, ESQ
Member Of the Royal College Of Surgeons, Licen-
tate Of Apothecary's Company, Fellow Of Bolt
Court Society, Surgeon to the Royal Union PEN
sion Association, Lancaster Place, Waterloo
Bridge, and Perpetual PupilofGuy's and St.Tho-
mass Hospitals, London.
This valuable Medicine, the result of20 years
experience and unparalleled success in the extern
sve and highly respectable practice of the propri
elor, patronised by the faculty and noby,-is
now introduced to the notice OF the American
public, at the earnest solicitation Of n number OF
gentlemen Of long and high standing in the pro-
iession. II is hoped, as preliminary step, TO
check the evils and fatal consequences arising
from the use Of the numerous and dcleterious nos
trums fos,ed upon the public by the aid Of fabri-
Gated proofs for miraculous cures, other frauds,
by set Of mercenary, unprinc,pled protenders-
so totally ignorant Of medical science, that il if
impossible the monsirous dclusion can any longer
20 down with the intelligent people of this coun-
try. These pills, mild and agreeable in their na-
ture, should be kept in every family in case Of
sudden illness, for by their prompt administration
cholera, cramps, spasms, fevers and other alarm
ing complaints which too often prove fatal, may
be speedily cured or prevented. In fact, all those
who value good health should never bn without
them. They are sold in packets Mt So cents, =
and S2 each, by mostrespectabIe druggists, book
sellers, and vendors Of medicine in the U. States
and the Canadas, with copious directions, togeth-
er with testimonials Of professional ability from
the following eminent gentlemen Sir Ashley
Cooper, J. Abernethy, james Dlundel, M D., W.
Back, M. D., J. Aston Key, A. Frampton, M. ID.
and numerous others The originals may DC seen
in possession Of the General Agent, by whom the
medicine is imported.intO this country, and to
whom all applications for agencies must be made.

"11ANDY ANDY"
IND THE SODA W.AT'ER.

HJfO L nv OOASI ~ 81 ERA
The first time Andy was admitted
into the mysteries of the dining room,
great was his wonder. The butler took
him in to give him some previous in
structions, and Andy was SO lost in adj
miration at the sight of the assembled
glass and plate, that he stood with his
mouth and eyes wide open, and scarce
ly heard word that was said to him.
After the head man had been dining
his instructions into him for some time,
he said he might go anti his attendance
was required. But Andy moved not;
he stood with his eyes fixed by a sort
of fascination on some object that seem
ed to rivet them with the same unac-
countable influence that the snake ex-
ercises over its victim.
"What are you looking ati' said the
butler.
Them things, SIR" said Andy,
pointing to some silver forks.
"Is it the forks p said the butler.
"Ohno sir know what forks is We
nv well; but l never seen them things
afore."
"What things do youmean ?"
"These things, sir" said Andy, ia
king up one of the silver forks, and
turning it round and round in his hand
in utter establishment, while the butler
grinned at his ignorance, and enjoyed
his own superior knowledge. t--
"Well," said Andy after long pause
ssthe devil be from me if ever seen a
silver spoon split thatway before"
The butler laughed horse laugh,
and made standing joke of Andy's
split spoon; but time and experience
made Andy less impressed with Won
der at the show of plate and glass, and
|, the split spoons became familiar as
sshousehold words" to him, yet still
there were things in the duties of table
attendance beyond Andy's compre-
hension-he used to hand cold plates
for fish and hot plates forjelly, &c. But,
zone day, "as Zanga says-"one day,
he was thrown off his centre in very
remarkable degree by bottle OF soda
water.
1t was when that cornbustible was
first introduced into Ireland as dinner
beverage, that the occurrence took
place, and Andy had the luck to be the
person 10 whom a gentleman applied
for soda water. :,
"Sir :" said Andy--"Soda water, "
said the guest, in that subdued tone IN
which the people are apt to name fheif
wants at dinner table.

WESTERN ANTIQUITIES.

From The st. Louis Commercial Bulletin.
\ Every day we see some account Of
discoveries made in different parts Of
the United States. Splendid caverns
in Arkansas, rivalliag the famed grotto
! of Antiporos--petrifed warriors and
dogs amongst the Allegheny noun
tains-ruins of magnificent city on
the shores of the lakes; and many 9TH
erwonderful things, have been brought
to light by men who seem to have de-
voted their time and means to such re-
3 searches.
We heartily wish that some such an
tiquarian spirit would arise amongst us.
1t would find ample materials where
with to crafty its own curiosity and
that of the public. Even in the coun-
ty of St. Louis there are many spots
which are worthy Of this kind of re-
search. We know the fact that, on the
River DIES Peres, at the distance of a.
bout seven miles from the city, there
ore anumber of graves, which, from all
appearances, seem to have existed
there for centuries. They are on
high bluff, near whose base the stream
passes, & from their length they would
seem to be the tenements of men who
were far superior in size 10 those of the
present day.
On the shores of Maramec rivernear
the town of Fenton, there was an I'M
mense cementry, containing several
thousand graves, all of them remarka-
bly, small the largest not exceeding four
feet in length. The cementry is now
enclosed and cultivated, SO that the
graves are no longer visible. We have
seen several articles which were found
in the field, having been overturned by
the ploughshare. Amongst the articles
were several pieces of earthenware
well glazed, small bowl of earthen-
ware, remarkably well executed ; and,
particularly, lower jawbone, in size
that of child two years old, but con-
tanning the teeth of a man of forty. We
were informed that, before the cemen-
try was enclosed and cultivated, there
could be seen at many of the graves
head and foot-stones with inscriptions
on them which none could understand.
Might not little research at the pla-
