Hath been exchanged in days OF yore-'
Sad relics Of friendships broken,
And boyhood DER.
This glittering gem upon my finger,
Was dear woman's gift OF old,
And DER it, sweetest memories lirger,
or love twice told.
The broken rose bud, now crumblins
Within the little casket there,
Tells me OF fortunes tickle humbling,
And hopes despair.

angriy: do you wish TO awake him." would
you have his cries alarm the neighborhood7'
The householder was Mortified with the
| spectacle. He remained motionless under
the bed, scarcely daring to breathe. The
son shut the door after him, and the two
wretches approached the bed on tiptoe
An instant afterwards, the bed was shook
by convulsive motion, and stifled cry of
pain, confirmed the foreboding, that the
unhappy man in the bed, had his throat
cut. After short pause, of awful silence,
the landlord said:
at is over now: look for the money"
II have found it under the pillow" said
the son; it is in leathern belt and a pocket
book"
The murderers disappeared.
Everything being now quiet, the traveller
crept from under the bed, jumped out of
the window, and fastened to the adjoining
town to inform the authorities of what had
happened.
The mayor Immediately assembled the
military, and in less than three.quarters of
an hour, the inn was surrounded by SOL
diers who had been summoned to arrest the
murderers. The whole house seemed bu.
ried in profound silence, but on approach.
ing the stables they heard noise. The
door was Immediately broken in, and the
landlord and his son were seen busiy dig
ging pit. As soon as the murderers saw
the householder, they uttered cry of hor-
ror, covered their faces with their hands,
and fell TO the ground.
This was neither from repentance nor
the fear Of punishment, but they thought
they saw before them the ghost of the
murdered man, notwithstanding they heard
him speak. There was some trouble in
convincing them to the contrary. They
were then bound, and led to the clubhouse,
where the horrible deed had been com.
mitted, anxious to see how the enigma
would be solved.
The prisoners appeared tolerably COL
lected, at least calm and sullen; but, when
on entering the room, they perceived the
body which lay on the bed, the son fell
senseless to the earth, and the father threw
himself upon it, with loud lamentations,
clasped the bloody corpse, and exclaimed,
despairingly:
my sonl oh my son! I, thy father, am
thy murderer
The murdered man, YVES, in fact, the
youngest son Of the host. Drunkenness,
was the only fault this young man had; and,
this night, instead Of being, as his father
and brother supposed, in his own bed, he
had gone out secretly, and been carousing,
with some Of his companions, at the ale.
house.
Soon becoming sufficiently inebriated,
and fearing his fathers anger, if he ap.
peared before him in that state, he intended
to pass the night in the detached clubhouse,
as he had often done before. His compan.
ions had accompanied him thither, and
helped him to climb up to the window.
The rest requires no further explanation.
Nor, do we need 10 add, that the muir.
derers expiated their crime wife their life;
and that the horse dealer, although saved,
and again in possession of his plundered
property, still shudders at the recollection
of that dreadful night.

And mingled into one, they formed
A river deep and wide
Then, through Aowry plain below,
In gentle wavelets seemed to flow.

With pinions light as ether,

Still onward, toward the ocean,
With ripples sparkling bright
The stream with gentle motion,
Bathed in flood Of light
Rolled on thro' mountain, vale and cave,
Until it met the ocean wave.

Upon its waters shone,
Like scintillations pure and bright,
'Mong gems and diamonds thrown
And on its surface scared and dry,
A 'oithered leaf came floating by.

RHEUMATISM in all its varied forms, Nervous
Affections, Lung and Liver complaints, Spinal
Affections, Female weaknesses, DC, 3c. For the
above complaints this plaster has no equal The
great celebrity which it has already acquired not
only in the old but in the new world, the extra
ordinary cures it has performed in the most ex-
IRENE cases of suffering, have acquired for it such
q reputation, that the proprietor has not (until
recently been able to supply half the demand.
The sales throughout every city, town, and vii
lage in the United States are without parallel!
A circumstance not surprising, when the vast
amount of human suffering relieved by its use be
considered. In spinal defects the benefit usually
is of the most decided character. In Nervous
complaints, nineteen cases out of twenty readily
yield to the penetrating stimula combined in this
valuable preparation.
In Rheumatism either acute or chronic the claims
of the Hebrew Plaster have long since been uni
versally acknowledged. Those who are aboring
under weak backs, no matter from what cause
the weakness may have originated, (even if such
person have been misguided in previous appi-
calions) in the use of the Hebrew Plaster they
will find the affected part suddenly restored to its
original soundness.
As a supporter in cases Of constitutional ,oeak.
ness it will be found of great advantage. tits
particularly recommended to Females who are
suffering from sudden weakness, or general de.
bility. In short, it embraces all the virtues which
the most scientific mind was capable of compound.
ing from valuable substances found in the old
world, and will be found entirely free from those
objections which are a source of complaint with
the numerous spreod-plasters now before the pub
lie.
GrThese plasters possess the advantage of
being put up in tight Boxes, hence, they retain
their fuLl-rirtue in all climates.
