A LAMENT FOR VICTOR HUGO'S
DAUGHTER

A LAMENT FOR VICTOR HUGO'S
DAUGHTER.
By HENRY +. cHoRLEY.
By the hoarse waters, deep and mournful Sea,
The heart of Europe mourneth
For gentle Lady who went forth on thee,
And ne'er returneth.
Have not thy waves abased our thrones and towers,
Laid stirring hearts to sleep-rebuked the strong
With cold, remorseless slaughter!
And must they strip our garden of its flowers,
And covet one so innocent and young!
Alas the Poets daughter!
o, was his hearth too glad did Elf and Fay
Sing morn and eve music there too bhthe
For mortal hosts enjoying,
That thou amid aerial dance and lay
Must bid Despair to shrek and Anguish writhe,
That perfect mirth destroying?
It was not SO: the tissue Of his dreams
Was not so sparkling that commissioned Death
Must needs the web shade over,
He sat with helpless captive by the streams
OF strange iand-fathomed the gulf beneath
Frail maid, and savage lover.
He watched how Man with fierce temptation warred
Since Eden's primal DAYS. He loved alone
By graves unblessed to linger;
And all the pang, by tyrant Hate prepared
For Freedom and for Truth to him were known
As tones to artful singer
Vast not enough to strive in midnights gloom,
To dwell by noon with such imaginings
For ever darkly breeding?-
But must the spoiler waste the dreamer's home,
Nor his hearts softest and most holy strings
Be spared the doom Of bleeding!
Deep Ocean murmurs on, nor deigns reply
To loud Dismay, who deems her question wild
. May treasure lost recover,
Save by a low and plantive lullaby;
Sleep young and tender mother, with thy child
Thy pilgrimage is over!''
IN mournful concord with thy voice, 0 Sea,
The heart Of Europe mourneth
For gentle Lady who went forth on thee,
And ne'er returneth!

DR.. THOMPSON'S
UTERINE TRUSS.

TT is the opinion of all the principal profess
IL sors of medicine in the United States, who
have given their testimony, that d.. 1homp.
sons "Patent apparatus for the cure Of Proiap-
sus and other diseases" possesses superior adj
vantages over any other apparatus of the kind
ever presented to the public, Their certif.
Gates to that effect can be seen by calling on
the undersigned at his store in Woodstock.
These Trusses have been examined by DR..
Irwin, DIR Magruder 8. DIR. Wunder, and they
concur with the above sentiments-that it is
he most easy, safe, and certain remedy for
those diseases it processes to cure, ever inren-
ted. They can be had at my store. Those
who stand in need of an article of this kind,
would do well to make immediate application.

THE TWO coUNsELLoRs.

A celebrated counsellor, had been
laboring in a long MINDED speech to
the jury. The verdict being found
against him, "Zounds!' he exclaimed,
"here have | been spending my breath
for an hour vainly endeavoring to con-
vince twelve blockheads Of point that
is as clear as demonstration; believe
my countrymen have been inocculated
for dullness.' y
aThat may be- said the other
counsellor, who had gained the case,
"but you, unlike your countrymen,
have it in the natural way. .

A YANKEE SHOEMAKER.

You hain't no occasion for a jer nor
nothin, / spose," said jolly son Of
ST. Erispin from the land of wooden
nutmegs, as he entered shoe estab-
lishment with his kit nicely done up in
his apron.
Wonder if / hain't, was the reply
of the Boss. "Why | should like a
dozen if could get 'em, but what kind
of shoe can you maker"
! c., as to the matter Of that,o said
the snob, reckon how | can make a
decent sort Of a craft
"spread your kit them" said the
Boss, EN- give you pair to try, and
| if your work suits me can give you a
steady seat of work.
Crispin went to work, hammering
and whistling away as happy as a clam
at high water, and the Boss was called
away on some business which detained
/ him two or three hours meanwhile the
tamparing jer had produced a thing
which bore some faint resemblance to
a shoe, and feeling somewhat ashamed
of it, hid it in a pile of leather chips
/ that lay on the floor, and proceeded to
make another which he had barely time
to finish when his employer entered
and began to examine it.
| ssLook here mister,'' said he, 9"
guess you needn' tmake themate to this
lit is the greatest botch that ever was
made in my shop, that's fact.
"P'raps you'd like to bet triAe on
that" said the snob.
aBet,'' responded the Boss, "why
I'll bet ten dollar bill against a hand
Of tobacco, that there were never shoe
made in this shop half SO bad as this. "
"Done," said Cnspin, at the same
time casting sly wink at his shop
mates, "but stop, let me see if I've got
so much of the weed with me. Oh
yes, here's wholehand of Cavendish, I"
and laying it, the cutting board and
ventured to suggest the propriety of
having the suet skin laid along side Of
it, which was no sooner done, than he
proceeded to draw from its hiding place
the other shoe.
"Here boss, ''said he, "you must de-
eide the bet; say which of the two
shoes is the worst.'' "Well, I guess
Pm fairly sucked in this time,o replied
the boss, pushing the Cavendish to-
wards the righful owner, and throwing
a shilling to the youngest apprentice.
The boy needed no farther instruction
as to his duty, but was off in the twink
ling of bed post, und soon retured
with a quart of black strap. After all
hands had sufficiently regaled them
selves, the shrewd yankee put his
sticks together, and bidding the yankee
a hearty good by started again on a
tramp, very well satisfied with the
forenoon's work.

The Professions out West.-A letter
writer in the Journal of Commerce,
writing from Galena, says that all the
western towns and villages are over
stocked with lawyers, doctors, and what
are called merchants, but who are in
fact only traders. He says that in st.
Louis, there are only forty lawyers who
have any business, and'that over one
hundred have no visible means of en-
ployment. The same, he says only to
a greater extent, is the fact with ply
sicians. The writer then makes some
remarks on the proneness of our peo-
pie to make their sons lawyers, physi-
clans and ministers, and he thinks as
weIdo, that giving children good trades,
is mot only far better for the interests
Of society, but is infinitely better, nine
ceases out of ten, for the individual him
self. Professional fees, except after
the acquisition of reputation, are small,
very small, in comparison to the expen-
ses, necessarily o. a professional man.
And young lawyer, or doctor, for FIVE
years after he commences for himself,
unless under extraordinary and pecu-
liar circumstances, cannot earn even as
much as journeyman, in almost any
mechanical pursuit, and as to the res
probability Of the position, there is no
choice, for the time has gone by, when,
in social position, the person who
gains livelihood by the labor of his
hands in an honest trade, is not on par
with the occupant of an office Of law
or medicine.

TEyHE most popular remedies of the pres
Il ent day are those which cleanse and PIT
fly the blood, and which are known to be in
nocent in their qualities. Such remedies as
Anthony. Mercury, Zinc, and the having re.
course to Bleeding in diseases, are now, it il
hoped gone out of fashion, and Vegetable
Remedies will be soon the popular medicine.
Then Brand1etb's Vegetable Unirersal Pill.
will be used and appreciated. They are
known to act benefcialy on euerv part of the
body; being taken up by the chyie they pass
into the blood. which they purify; and i,
should he remembered that they oniv remove
those parts from the blood which were the
cause of inflammation or disease of any kind.
Nothing is equal to Kidding the vitiated hu.
mors with vegetable medicine of ths kind
which eighty four years have proved never to
do injury, but always good.
or IMPURITY OF BLOOD causes pain
and occasions disease upon that part of the
body which from any cause may be weakest.
Thus in persons whose blood is impure, should
they have cold, the impure matter would
settle upon their lungs, and consumption be
the trouble; so with other affections. All
trouble is saved by using the BRANDRETH
PILLS, which cannot injure, and which can.
not be overdone. Only use them in the COM
mencement of any disease. use them in full
doses and you will be up and well, while
those who are too wise TO take such simple
medicine, are hedridden, or premuturely end
their days. The Brandreth Pills are only be.
ginning to be appreciated, they are found to
never deceive; they are the only internal
medicine required in this climate.
Be careful of pretended universal purgatiyes.
which cannot be used without iniurv to the
body as Brandreth's Pills can. What are
they' Are they not limitations of the Bran
dreth Pills recommended in advertisements
stolen from DIR. Branarethl Were they not
originally counterfeit pills purpo1ting to be
the genuine Brandreth Pills. But in conse-
quence of the new labels on the Brandreth
Pill boxes are they not obliged to come out un
der ether colors equally falscs Observe the
makers and travelling agents Are they not
men whom DIR. Brandreth hath cast off, not

fact, to nearly all the advertised pills Of the
day! Shall the public trust their lives in the
hands of these unprincipled mem Surely

ness--they are liked best by those who have
taken the most of them. Dr. Brandreth can
give personal reference to thousands who have
been restored from a bed ofsickness by their
use, when every other mems had proved en-
tirely unavaing. These cases are continual
ly occurring in this city and in every part of
the Union. Get Brandreth's Pills if you are
not perfectly healthy. and they will restore
you--if medicine can do it-because they ex
pei those humors which are the cause of i'm
purity of the blood. and at the same time the
body is strengthened by the operation of this
most excellent medicine.
