MAN OF TOLL.


Man Of Toll, wsuldst ,hou be free.
Lend thine cart to Reasons CALL
There's folly in the Drunkard's glee--
There's madness in the midnight braw!;
The ribald jest, the vulgar song.
May give kes ner sting 10 care:
The rio, Of reckless throng
May lead to ruin and despair;
-, truth unloose thy fetiered soul
There is no freedom in the bowl.
Man Of Tell, woudst thou be wise,
The paths of moral light explore;
Pierce The human hearts disguise,
And track its motives 10 the core;
Creations boundless beauties scan,
Observe its wonders--search It's laws;
Look on the vast harmonious plan
And learn to love the Eternal Cause,
Let Truth illume thy darkened soul.
There is no wisdom in the bowl.
Man of Toll, wouldst thou be blest,
Give thy purest feelings play.
Bring all that's noble to thy breast,
Let all that's worthless pass away;
Let generous deeds bid sorrow cease,
Let gentlest words thy lips employ,
Scatter the seeds Of love and peace,
And reap harvss. full Of JOY,
Let Truth make glad thy harfassed soul
There are no blessings in the bowl

THOU CRUEL EMMA,
THE PATHETIC LINES OF A cLERl

THE PATHETIC LINES OF CLERK,
Oh! did love her dearly,
And gave her toys and rings,
And thought she meant sincerely
When she took my pretty things;
Bot her heart has grown as icy
As fountain in the fall,
And her love that was so spicy,
1t did not last at all
l gave her once locket,
II was filled with my own hair,
And she put it in her pocket
With very special care.
But a,jeweler has got,
He offered it to me;
And another that is not it
Around her neck see.
For my eooings and my billings
lido not now complain,
But my dollars and my shillings
Will never come again,
They were earned with toll and sorrow,
But never told her that,
And now have to borrow,
And want another hat.
Think, think, thou cruel Emma,
When thou shalt hear my woey
And know my sad dilemma,
Thou hast made it so.
See, see my beaver rusty,
Look, look upon This hole,
This coat is dim and dusty.
Oh! let i. rend thy soul
Before the gotes Of fashion
daily bent my knee,
But sought the shrine Of passion,
And fouud my idoi,-thou;
Tho never love intenser
Had Bowed soul before it,
Thine eye was on the censer,
And net the hand that bore it,

FENHIS Recipe, obtained of an old Jew by trav-
II eller in the Eastern countries bids fair to be
OF immense value to the Western world. Since
this plaster has been introduced into America,
every other plaster, save, ointment or lima
ment has been discontinued by all who have had an
opportunity of testing the superior medical virtues
of the Jew David's or Hebrew Plaster Truth,
though simple is powerful, and will prevail with an
enlightened community, over all the pufings and
fictitious affidavits with which the world is flooded.
The sterling worth of this plaster, is re;ognised, ap-
preciated, and its use sanctioned by the highest
classes of society. One simultaneous burst of ap-
probation arises from the thousands who have used
it, which shows, that when remedy possesses high
y intrinsic merits like this, it does rot fail of re-
ceiving the patronage of our intelligent public.
