trAn attentive perusal Of the foQo,ct"g wiR, At
is beered fully repay all classes Of redderS:--Head-
ache This disease is one from which arises more
misery to the human family than is generally sup
posed; not being directly fatal it is often neglected,
or persons resort much to the use of purgatives
and other medicines, as to impair their general
health, and often induce fatal disease. This arti-
Gle, Dr. SPHoNs HEADACHE REMEDY, from Com
stock g. Co., now offered, seems to have overcome
these difficulties. While its effects are most pow
erful and immediate in curing an attack or keeping
it off it is perfectly mild and innocent as to be
used for infants with the greatest effect and safety
This has now been tested by so many of the high
est members Of this community, as to require no
further proof
If taken few times in as many hours, when
there are indications of an approaching attack, it
is sure in all to prevent the attack. If used
for few weeks, the premonitory symptoms grad
ually subside, until they wholly disappear, and
never, without some great external or predispos-
ing cause return. If the person neglects to use it
Till the headache commences, it sometimes cures
Instantly, but at others the turns will have their
course for two or three times, and then wholly dis
appear. M

knew her well-she was being, bright, as an.
gels seem,
Whose soul was cradled in delight-whose life a
pleasant dream;
Whose ev'ry word seem'd stolen from a sweet,
enchanting Tyre,
The strings Of which were glowing with pure
promethean fire.
She seem'd a spotess pearl! and oft methought
to her were given
Charms that were not for earth, but meant to deck
the child of Heaven
No chisel'd FORM by artist wrought, more graces
could combine
No face could Le more beautful--no smile be more
divine
No cheek a tinge of crimson dye more delicate
could wear
No forehead more expansive be-none more Sc
reney fair
No rosebud bursting forth al morn, the early dews
to sip,
Could vie with the carnation hue that revelld on
her lip
No pencl'd curve could initiate her brows of sable
No star in summers sky outshine the briliance of
her eye.
Amidst the giddy throng of life, with cheerful
heart she mov'd,
Surrounded by the welcome smiles of those she
dearly lov'd,--
Watchd with the doting fOndness Of mother's
anxious eye,
With father, brothers, sisters, friends, admirers
ever nigh.
Alas! how sad il was to look upon that lovely
form,-
That face which glow'd with seeming health and
know the canker- worm
Was seated in the urn of life, to blight that tender
fow'r,
Doomd but to bud and bloom, and fade, ant
wi:her in an hour!
Twas so!-the throng of angels round the throne
of peace and love,
Call'd softly on her name, and babe her TO TIL
bow'rs above;
She murmur'd not,-but raisd her eyes to Heav'n
and feebly said
come!--I Observation-Disclosures her pur
spirit fled!
Thus tloomd the fairest one Of earth--thus ftl
the mothers pride,
Consumption crush'd her darling chill, and, All
poor AGNES died.

FoUND.-As we were walking home from

we stumbled over something on the side

long there, for we have walked the streets
so often that we know every, even the
smallest, inequality in the pavement. and
we therefore turned around to see what it
was. We lifted it up--we looked at it
squeezed it--kcked it-but for our lives
we could not tell what it was: with diff

like pig yoke: felt little soft like, and

nearly broke our neck over it; and as we
never had any luck in our lives, we thought

remittances so as to prevent robbery, for
the ugI y thing had a string at each end: so

With nervous hand, therefore, we seized
our knife and tore into it. 1t was stuffed

it, it ripped about six inches and the first
thing that protruded itself from the orifce
was an old stocking very much worn: six
more followed it: next was an old rounda.

A girl who has got pretty face is too
often beset by parcel of Popinjays, who
dance around her like butterflies around a
beautiful flower. If the beauty is possessed
of more than an ordinary quantity of
sense very well-no harm comes of it. But
flattery is too apt to turn the head of a
giddy girl, as she thinks more of fashiCna-
Bile society than of her fathers mansion;
then perhaps follows an unhappy match
with some worthless fellow, and the result
is misery and misfortune through the re-
maindcr Of her life.
