 ''IIis few surviving comrades saw. His smile when rang their proud hurrah'
 And the red field was won; Then saw in death his eyelds close, Calmly as to nights repose,
 Like flowers at set of sun. - Onward the battle cry arose; And swift against the Spartan foes,
 The Theban Heroes ran. And we'll might they courageous feel; For with unconquered foes they deal,
 Who ne'er had dreaded man. On Ito the strife, their Lesder flew; For he no paltry dread e'er knew
 No Norman foes he'd fear; But mad his eagerness for fame, And swift the fatal jav'lin came,
 And cruel death drew near. And is there none to aid him now' Will none assist when Heroes bow,
 Their glorious heads in death? No loving child to hear his prayers No Wife to share his earthly cares.
 Nor hear his panting breath, Seel see his sorrowing Mother bend, Her aged form to soothe his end
 Hear him in death exclaim--- "Are we victorious ?-friends, oh say, Have Thebans won this glorious day,
 Securing endless fame?' See how his dying face now gleams With smiles of triumph! Lo the beams
 Of Glory round his brow l Now. now, die in peace"-he cries, "Since lowly Mantinea lies
 And sparta's humbled now" Then turn'd he on his haiiowd bed, And Softly laid his glorious head,
 Closing in death his eyes. Thus, glorying still with parting breath, .qnd honor finding not ia death
 EPAMINoNpAs dies Well, Oh ye Thebans may ye mourn, For him who all your woes has borne.
 With him your glory came With him, Alas! it dies.-But he, Though dead, and gone, will ever be

l. OR truth is mighty, that DR.. Leidy's SARSAPA-
RILLA is the purest strongest, and most effcacous
of any other preparation Of Sarsapara that is made
1t is warranted TO be stronger than six bottles of
most Others stronger than four of some, and stronger
than three of the strongest prepared by any other in
the United States.
DR.. Leidy's Sarsaparilla is recommended by all
respectable physicians in preference to any other.
All who have used it have derived more benefit
from one bottle than three to ten of others; and
those who, after having used other preparations with
out benefit, will use DR.. Leidys, will soon be con-
WINGED as thousands have already been) of the fore
going assertion
The apparatus with which Dr. Leidy's extracts,
used in his preparation Of Sarsaparilla prepared is
the only one in the United States imported by DR..
Ledy himself from the celebrated house of Pelleter
s. Caventou, in Paris, at great expense, and is ca
pable of extracting the medicinal virtues of Sarsa-
para and other roots more efectually than by any
other process.
As several hundred certificates of remarkable
cures, and recommendations from cergymen and
physicians have been from time to time published in
different papers, it is only thought necessary to keep
the public acquainted as to where DR. Ledy's Sar-
saparia can be be obtained genuine, namely at Dr..

OIL OF TANNIN,
OR LEATHER RESTORER.
A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY

"A NEW Cf1EMlCAL@ DlSCOV VERY.
Most people know that skins and hides are convert
ed into leather by the use of Tannin extracted from
certain banks, &c.
When the force and strength of the Tannin is worn
out leather becomes dead hard dry, BRITTLE cracked,
covered with crust, sc. THIS ALL KNOW. To re-
store then, life sofness mostness strength smooth
ness, and ramoye all crust fly or blister-restore the
tannn. This substance the leather never can receive
the second time; but the whole virtues of it are in
this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
trates the stest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use; and if it tears easily with the
fingers II imparts at once strength that is utterly
incredible until seen. 1t becomes like new leather,
in all respects, with delightful sofiness and polish,
and makes all leather completely and perfectly inn
pervlous to water-particulary boots, shoes, carr-
age-ops harness, hose trunks and in fact all things
made OF leather, giving splendid polish even high
er than new leather has, and at least doubling its
wear and durability in whatever manner the leather
is used. THESE ARE FACTS.
Those who will may wear old shoes, groan with
corns, ride with old carrage-tops-have old harness,
and throw them away half used-look filthy them

WORMS! woRNs!! woRMs!!!

OF all diseases to which children exposed,
none are SO fatal to them as worms. Unfortunately,
children are seldom free from them, and as they
initiate the symptoms of almost every other com
plant, they often produce alarming effects without
being suspected Worms are not only cause of
disease themselves, but by their irritation aggravate
all other diseases, wandering from one part of the
body to another winding themselves into large balls,
and obstructmg the bowels and frequently the throat
causing commissions, and too often death The best
remedy ever yet known is
DR.. JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE,
which is perfectly SAFE and pleasant that children
will not refuse to take it. 1t effectually destroys
WORMS ,neutralzes acidty sourness of the
stomach, increases appetite, and acts general
and permanent Tonic and is, therefore, exceedingly
beneficial in Intermittent and Remttent Fevers, In
digestion, &C., andis certain and permanent cure
for FEVER and AGUE.
It not only destroys Worms, and invigorates the
whole system, but it dissoves and carries off the s-
perabundant slime or mucous so prevalent in the
stomach and bowels of children, more especially OF
those in bad health. This mucous forms The bed or
nest in which worms produce their young; and by
removing tit is impossible for worms to remain in
the body.
II harmless in its effects on the system and the
health of the patient is always improved by its use
even when no Worms are discovered. Numerous
certificates of its usefulness have been received,
which the proprietor does not consider necessary to
publish yet to give the reader idea of its vermi-
fuge powers, he will mention few cases. He gave
it to his little nephew, not four years DID, and in
few days he discharged upwards of ninety large
worms. He also gave it to his daughter, then about
three years old, when it brought away thirty worms
in one night.
Josiah Thompson, near Salem, N j., administered
this Vermuge to child between two and three
years Old and says that in few days she discharged
one hundred and twenty-seven large Worms
Mr. Joseph A. Lents, of the Penn Township Sa-
wings institution IN this city, gave it to one of his
cmluren and says that after the sixth dose il brought
away about fifty Worms at once FIVE and six inches
long.
Mr.. Ferdinand Woodruff used two bottles of this |

pain of conversing in loud tone, without pleasure,
Of being neglected and Stunned, to avoid that dis
tress which is felt mutually by the deaf person and
his hearers. How sacred duty, therefore, it is
that use all necessary means to remove such an
afction and enjoy the social qualities implanted in
natures! This EAR OIL has the effect so to re-
lieve the tension and bring into the natural action
of the parts to restore the hearing when lost or
impaired This is proved by so many and well-known
cases. that, where known, it needs no praise The
great wish of the proprietor is that each may speak

know. and be relieved and restored by its use This
will be done in all cases of recent DEAFNESS and
many of long standing. ALL DEAF PERSONS
should use this oil 1t will relieve at once, or, if

long deaf should continue its application few weeks
