The Ruling Passion.-On Tuesday mor- ming we noticed little boy, five or six years old, dressed in blue cloth, with clean check cd bib or apron before him, mourning and crying most piteously in front of our office, and several persons collected round him, en- deavoring to ascertain his name and where he lived; but his cries, and tears and sobs were so incessant, that not single intelligent word could begot from the little fellow. The most tender and soothing language was en- ployed in vain endeavors to get an answer to the questions proposed to him; his distress seemed rather to increase until stranger passing by halted, and without saying word, put his hand in his pocket and presented the inconsolable sufferer cent. The effect was instantaneous-his cries ceased-his sobs were at an end-his tears were dried up, his speech restored, and the lost child delivered to his parents.-Neirark Eagle.

III Thompson's New
Truss.
UncxarnpIed success.

VN7HERE this Truss has been introduced,
w il is taking the place Of all other Trusses
ever invented Persons who have tried the
most approved kinds heretofore made, will lay
them aside and purchase one Of these inyalua-
Bile Trusses.
The following recommendation has jus, been received
from Dr. Hall, Of vcrgennes.
This Truss, he says, is a great Improvement
over any thing that has hitherto been invented
in the form Of Truss. The superiority OF
the above article does not consist in the ease
aud safety by which they are worn only, but
by proper adaptation will speedily effect per-
maneni cure of the Hernia. Numerous certd-
Gates to the above facts might be added, were
il necessary, but slight examination Of these
Trusses will convince any one that the great
desderatum has at length been obtained, and
this formidable disease is no longer dread.
think therefore that all afflicted with Hernia
or Rupture, aud having just estimate Of the
danger Of delaying attention 10 il, will procure
Truss Immediately and be cured.

tried several trusses Of various kinds, found no
