clerks mind was now filed with renewed

who would burthen himself, with them,
the two proceeded 10 lay their heads 10

might baIk the calico dealer of his promised
bride, and ultimately succeeded in their
own plans. The day dawned at last, a
beautiful spring morning; tAe trees were
just putting forth their spring leaves, the
birds were warblIng their songs, and every
thing seemed TO be in happy keeping for a
bridal day. The day wore on, and as
Night sci in. carriages filed with goodIy
company rolled up to the housa Of tue pa

rolled away to leave room for lyesher things.
Among those who had assembled to grace

appeared, with face upon which dark
melancholy sat expressed. An hour rolled
on, during which the invited guests had all
met. ard whispers Of impalience were be-
ginning TO be heard, when murmur ran
through the room, succeeded by deep ST.

open, and the bridal party entered.
AS the bride entered, she raised her ewes
which had been timidly cas-. down and
looked about the room. A deep scarlet
blush spread over her face and neck, even
to her temples, told The young clerk as their
eyes met, that she recognized him, then
casting them fixedly on the floor again she
signifed to her friend tina. she was ready.

a DREAM.

a dream came DER me while slept
Far from my native home,
Nights balmy breath had Ger me crept
As was wont 10 roam,
In the clear moon.beam's mellow light,
And watch the fles above,
Raising my thoughts in pure delight
To homes Of bliss and love.
There is an hour 10 the lone heart
Within its deep recess,
When can feel itself apart
From sensual happiness, =,
That it can feast on scenes gone by
Upon its hopes that grew ,
80 fondIy bright, and o,high,
. And were SO ardent TOO.
Me!hought that while alone l strayed
Thus wandering back to days,
When hope was bright, there came arrayed
With beauty in the rays
OF the fair moon lovely form;
Her brow was wrealhed with light,
Her steps were grace and every charm
Arose before my sight.
Mildly she spoke" why art thou sad
Youth is the hour Of joy
Why is thy brow in sorrcw clad !
Shall nousht sLy peace destroy!
Iknow thy fancie grieGs, they are
But lrlies-heed them not
sTksy're lighter than the empty air,
Let each one be forgot"
"rve watched thy heart-each hope tha
sprung
From lis imaginings,
While londly 10 each one it clung
BY all its tenderests springs.
Nature TO thee was lovellnOss,
And then thy heart was gay,
Heaven in kindness seemed 10 bless,
And snew with flowers thy way"
"And | have marked when one by one
Those fancieG hopes grew weak,
Till wilhered all, thy heart begun
Its loneliness to seek,
But ii is folly thus 10 waste
The bloom of youth away;
The cup OF bliss thou may'sl yet taste,
Aud brighter scenes survey.
sCal back thy hopes, awake thy smilo
That beamed once on thy brow,
There still in life are joys even while
Deceiilul phantom glow.
Life has thousand halcyon charms,
And light pours on them all,
Where tenderness the bosom warns,
And decks its coronal."
Ny angel monitor had ceased,
Aud left me wandering still,
When mornings glory in the East
Shone on the cloud.capped hill,
Ny heart awoke, and waiisIh new
Another for its own,
Seek ye who will for joys that flow
From your own hearts alone.

KNR. LEIDY'S BLOODPILLS.-Wh better
H Ethon scripture testimony can we have of the
ile of the flesh depending upon the condition Of
the blood! If impure Of diseased, the flesh must
of course be diseased thereby, and the whole sys-
tenn parake of such disease. If the doctrine be true
and there is not doubt of it (or it is fact accee
ded to by ALL that the scriptures, are true beyond
doubt,) then it behooIes us to guard against the
consequences of such impurities, and thus preserve
the flesh healthy. If the flesh be healthy ccnsti
tuting as it does the principal portion of the human
yody then must the whole body be healthy.
In vegetables onlS can we find the medicine where
by all impurities Of the blood may be removed
Upwards of ono hundred years experience of the

These vegetables are contained in the justly eel

employed by all persons under all circumstances
They will at all times be found servicoable, when
the least sickness is present. They require no
change Of Diet restraint from occupation, or fear Of
taking cold from their use. They are daily prescrb-

The Resurrection, or Persian Pills.

The name of these pills originated from the cir
cumstance Of the medicine being found only in the
cemetaries of Persia. This vegetable production
being Of peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. in half CEN
tury it became an established medicine for the dis
eases of that country. The extract of this singu-
production was introduced into some parts of Eu-
rope in the year l7S3 and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain Diseases where all 9TH
or medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1872, the extract was combined with a certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca, in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir-
able effect of this compound upon the human sys-
tenn, led physicians and families into its general
use. Their long established character their univer-
sal and healing virtues, the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the gandular
part of tho system such as will sustain their re-
putation and general use in the American Repub-
lie.

Let none condemn them until they have tried

il is now a settled point with all who have used
the Vegetable Persian Pills that they are pre-emi-

family could become acquainted with their Sover

be prepared with sure remedy to apply on the frs

would be avoided and money saved, well as the
lives Of thousands who are hurried out of time by

in possession of a remedy which they can place de-

TO MOTHERS.

Messrs e. Chase 81 observation-disclosures
much said about the extraordinary effects of the
Resurrection or Persian Pills. upon those about to
become mothers, we were induced to make trial OF
them. My wife was at that time the mother of five
children, and had suffered the most tedious and ex
crucisting pains during and after her confinement
Of each. She had tried every means and taken
much medicine, but found little or no relief. She
commenced taking the Persian Pills about three
months before her confinement Cher health being ve-
y poor about this length of time previously and in
short time she enabled by their use to attend to
the cares of mother to her family until her con.
fnement. At the timo she commenced taking the
Persian Pills, and for several weeks p evious, she
was afflicted with d'y hard cough, and frequent
severe cramps which the use of the Pills entirely
removed before using half box. 1t is with the
greatest confidence that advise all those about to
become mothers to make use of the Persian Pills.
All those that have taken them in our neighbor-
hood have got along in the same easy manner, and
are about the house in a few days. There does not
appear to be half the danger of other dangers setting
in after confinement, where these Pills are taken-
We unitedly' say,let none neglect taking them, for
they in the reach of the poor as well as the rich
We are truly thankful that there is a remedy which
females easily procure which tends to lessen the
world of suffering which many Of them have to bear
andperhaps save the lives of thousands which would
otherwise be lost.

PORTRAIT OF MIR. VAN buren,.

The following portrait of Martin Van Buren, was
drawn by his particular friend Alexander ii Ever.
Ell, before his appointment to lucrative office uu
der tho General Government. 1t is copied from a
political Grafton, delivered by MIR Everett, in Hol
listown, Massachusetts, few years since. Had
this sketch been penned by Harrison Democrat
it would doubtless have been pronounced base

none of the faithful can gansay it, And let nc
office holder complain of because we print il
the author is now enjoying fat office, and is
one Of their brethren. But here is the portrait
true TO the life
'Throughout his proceedings the charac-

faith IN tho existence of any such quality in others.

Government in the same temper, in which a
village lawyer, he sat down TO play .AU;t1urS at
the ale house, and is just ready to employ any
trick that will increase his share of tho SpoHs of
