HUNDREDS of children die every year
Il u fiom the diseases produced by Worms
They are the cause of numerous and fruitful
diseases. Indeed there is scarcely a complaint
common TO infancy and chldh God which may
not be produced or greatly aggravated by the
presence of these destructive animals in the
stomach and bowels. Cases are recorded of
their producing St. Vtuss Dance, Locked
Jaw, Dropsy Squirting, loss of feeling in the
limbs, ricketts,, palptation ofthe Heart, Erup-
tons, dry Cough, severe Pains, Paeness, E.
maciation, total decline of strength, and con-
sumption. miners CanadiGn Termifuge is u
pleasant, safe, speedy and permanent cure for
this dangerous afflction. 1t has been faithful
ly tried, and is universally approved of even
by Physicians. 1t destroys the worms at once,
dissolves and carries off the slime which forms
the nest of worms, and greatly improves and
invgoratcs the system. 1t is the most perfect
thing of the kind ever invente d, and no family
should be without it.

A SURGICAL OPERATION.

On yesterday (Monday) morning skilllul
surgical operation was performed by DIR. NH.
Bnllou oftIIis town, aided by DIR. Charles IT,.
Hall of Burlington, upon the person of Mr.
Meigs ofSwanton.
MIR Meigs has been suffering for some
time from leg so diseased as in the opinion
ofseveral surgeons to require tcmoral ampn-
tation, and yesterday the operation was per-
formed under circumstances somewhat peCuI-
lar and noteworthy. Previous to the opera
ton, DR.. Morton's Lethcan Gas was admins
tered to the patient, from the Inhalation of
which he was rendered perfectly iusenshle.
While DIR. b. was cutting through the feshy
part of the thigh and saving off the femoral
hone there were no signs of consciousness
manifested and no appearance of physical
suffering. After the leg was ampututed and
the arteries taken up, the patient said he eX-
perienced not the least pain during the oper-
alton.
The Lethean gas TINS administered by DIR.
Hall was invented, we understand, by DR..
Charles L. Jackson, of Boston; and the in
gradients were disclosed to Mr. Mortou,a Gel
cbrated dentist of Boston, who procured a
patent for the same and has invented an APP
paratus for inhalation.
This is the first time an operation of the
kind has been performed in this section ofthe
Country while the patient was under the in
fuence of an 'Anodyne vapor' which promis-
es to be of incalculable service to suffering
humanity.-.& .Atbams Messenger.

INEVITABLE PARTING. What vain things
are those on which the rich and great set
their heart? To none ofthem can they say,
Who shall separate us? Storms may arise
and scatter ships that sail fairly together in
fair weather. AT last you must part, for you
must die. Then farewell palaces, houses and
even crowns-farewell wife, and children,
and friends; and then without Christ, what
hast thou left, but what thou woudst gladly
part with-the coutemning guilt of all thy
sins? But the soul that is in Christ, when
other things are pulled away, cleaves to
Christ, and these separations pain him not
Yea when death, that Great separatist, comes,
breaking all other unions, even that of the
soul and body, it carries him into nearer
union with Christ.

The Crowded Street,
BY w. c. BRYANT.

Let me move slowly through the street,
Filled with an ever shifting train,
Amid the sound of steps that beat
The murmuring walks like autumn rain.
How fast the fitting figures come!
The mild the fierce, the stony face;
Some bright with thoughtless smiles and
some
Where secret tears have left their trace.
They pass--to toll, to strife, to rest;
To halls in which the feast is spread
To chambers where the funeral guest
In silence sits beside the dead.
And some to happy homes repair,
Where children pressing cheek to cheek,
With mute caresses shall declare
The tenderness they cannot speak.
And some, who walk in calmness here,
Shall shudder as they reach the door
Where one who made their dwelling dear,
It's flower, its light, is seen no more.
Youth, with pale cheek and slender frame,
And dream of greatness in thine eye!
Goest thou to build an early name,
Or early in The task to die!
Keen son Of trade, with eager brow!
Who is now tluttering in thy snare!
Thy golden fortunes, tower they now,
Or melt the glittering spires in air!
Who of this crowd, tonight, shall tread
The dance, till daylight CLEANS again!
Who sorrow DER the untimely dead!
Who writhe in throes Of mortal pain!
Some. famine-struck, shall think how long
The cold dark hours, how slow the hight!
And some, who flaunt amid the throng,
Shall hide in dens OF shame tonight.
Each where his tasks or pleasures call
They pass, and heed each other not,
/ There is who needs, who holds them all,
! In his large love and boundless thought
| These struggling tides of life that seem
/ In wayWard, amless course to tend,
Are eddes OF the mighty stream
That rolls 20 its appointed end.

any event - remember this On
handing him the pistol, Col. Tatnall
sprung the hair-.rigger. Mr.. RAN
dolph said, 'Tatnall, although am
one of the bes. shots in Virginia, with
either pistol or gun, yet l never fire
with a hair-trigger; besides ! have
thick buck-skin glove on, which will
destroy the delicacy Of my touch, and
the trigger may fly before l know
where am. But from his great So
licitude for his friend, Tatnall insisted
on hairing the trigger On taking po-
sition, the fact turned out as Mr.. Ran
dolph anticipated; his pistol went off
before the word, with the muzzle
down.
"The moment this event took place,
General Jessup, Mr.. Clry's friend,
called out that he would instantly
leave the field with friend if this
occurred again. Mr.. Clay at once
exclaimed il was entirely an accident,
and begged that the gentleman might
go on. On the word being given, Mr..
Clay fred without effect, Mr. RAN

The moment MIR. Clay saw that Mr..
Randolph had thrown away his fire,

Scott and Worth, with the main body Of
the army had advanced as far as Rio

at that place by deputation from the
capital with propositions Of peace
The exact tenor Of the proposition was
not known--they were however Of
such a nature that Gen. Scott refused
to accept them, and was determined to
push on for the capital.
From the deep anxiety felt by the
government, if the term government

further concession would DO made to
Gen. Scott before he took up his line
