The perfectly snie; unerring, and successful
treatment OF almost every species of dis ease by
the use of DIR. MOFFAT'S LIFE MEDICINES,
is 10 longer an experiment; as a reference to the
espcri, nee Of many thousand patients will Salts
fartorily lr)ve. During the present month OF
:, p.omber alone, nearly one hundred cases have
come to tho Knowledge Of DIR. Mohat, where
the patient has, to all appearance, effected per-
Inanent cure by the exclusive and iudcious use
of the Lille MedicinCs-SoE.e eight OF ten Of these
had been considered beyond all hope hv t! cir
IN edc4l attendants. Such happy results are Il
source Of great pleasure to Dr. Nj. and inspire
him with new confidence to recommend the use
of his medicines to his fellow eli zels

greatly superior to any other mode Of treatment.
All that Dr. Nlollat asks of his patients is to be
particular in taking them according to the direc-

no wish to know whether the Life Medicines will
suit his own case' Ifso, let him call or send to
Dr. Mofiats office, 375 Broadway, and procure

Ranks in Socicty.-The Texan society

is thus described by the New Orleans
Picayune:
First, they were the aristocracy, or
supper crust" who, from the fact that
they wore shoes and stockings, where,
by common consent, allowed TO take pre-
cedence in all matters of taste, elegance.
or fashion. Then came the second, or
middle class, an order that wore shoes,
but were unable to go to the expense OF
stockings. The third, or lower class,
went barefoot and ranked below the
first mentioned grades in every respect"

POETRY.
From the .Nelr York american.
A THOUGHT OF TIE DEAD.

And oNE-o'er HER the myrtle showers,
l,s leaves by soft-winds famed;
She faded midst Italian flowers
The last of that fair band"
stood beside her early grave,
In Springs last blooming hours;
When Southern winds their tribute gave,
Stolen from summer flowers.
The willow with its green leaf waved,
In sadness DER the spot;
The myrtle had each tempest braved:
Yet faded-altercd not.
The rose-leaf wore as bright glow,
As when SHE nursed its bloom;
The lily with its leaf of snow,
Had caught no shade of gloom.
see her as she seemed Of old,
When life was all OF love;
But though ! know her form is cold,
Her spirit lives above.
see her form Of beauty yet,
As in our fitting dream;
For, oh, how can e'er forget
My spirits bright est CLEAN!
see her eyes dark beauty now,
Though they beam on earth no more;
And the radiance Of her glorious brow
Streams brighter than before.
| look upon the braided hair,
She wove so smooth and bright;
The head that gave it, glances now
In heavens own silvery light
She sweetly sleeps beneath the flowers,
No more through life to roam,
The last that pinned amidst the bowers
Other sweet island home.

my Dear Sir: thank you very kindly for

where, hesitated to express my decided disappro-
baton Of the tariff act Of the last session, as well
in respect to the principle upon which it is found
