mended as a safe and eftectual medicine for ex-
polling worms from the system. The unexam-
pied success that has attended its administration
IN every case where the patient really afiict-
ed with worms. certainly renders it worthy the at
tention of Physicians.
The proprietor has made ii point to ascertain
the result of its in such cases as came within
his knowledge and observation-and he invaria-
bly, found it to produce the salutary effects
not unfrequently after nearly all the ordinary pre-
Parations recommended for worms had been previ-
ously resorted to without any advantage. This fact
Is attested by the certificates and statements of
hundreds of respectable persons in different parts OF
the country-and should induce families always
to keep vial in their possession. 1t is mild in

fec: safety TO the most delicate infant. For sale

poe @ Y Q


The following poem derives its origin from
romance of real life, the scene Of which is
in one Of our midland counties. A Young
lady Of great beauty aud accomplishments
was suddenly deprived, by an inflammation, of
the sense of sight. Nevertheless, instead of
sinking under so heavy adispensatiou, into
i'suessness and melancholy, with an a,lmira-
ole spirit she retained her chceriulness, and
continued all her former pursuits as far as the
privation would allow. She continued to
play, sing, dance, walk, and even ride out on
horseback-preservng bright mind, amidst
her darkness, and happy countenance. Soon
afterwards a gentleman returned from abroad,
who had been the companion of her child
hood--and her lover in his boyhood. Touch
ed with the noble spirit with which she bore
her calamity. and still retaining his old at
tachment to her, he offered his heart and
hand Tor her acceptance--in spite of the ur.
gent counsel Of his friends, and even the re-
monstrances of the lady herself. But he re-
manned firm to his purpose; and the verses
were composed as if addressed by him to his
blind bride:
Thou sccst me not, my dear bride:
fet bright thy smile, my Espcrancc,
AS when we sportcd side by side
Or mingled in our play mates dance
Thy step, rs then, is light and free,
Thy stirrup firm and fearless still;
Such power abidcs in constancy
Ot faith and hope. and stcalfsst will.
lov'd thee then, my hearts first joy,
love thee now, and tcnfod more
Than when the saddcncd STRIPPING boy,
Left thee and thine, and England's shore.
One lingering gaze behind cast
The young eye watched me from the hill:
o l had deemed that look the last!
But here thou art and dcarcr still
Thy minds kingdom all my own,
And the lark in morning air,
Thy play full voice, whose minstrel tone
Can charm away my every care.
The peace which pure high thoughts impart
The scents, the sound Of jocund Earth,
Are thnc-and more than all, heart
That beats for thee aud feels thy worth.
What though alike unmarked by thee
The moon beam and the noontdc ray,
lis mind, and heart, and converse free,
Turn gloom TO joy, and night to day.
Then cheer thee love whcrc'cr we go,
My step, my thought shall wait on thine
Thy spirit tried in veal and woe,
My Esperancc, shall strengthen mine.
