POETRY.
THE CHILD AND THE ANGELS.
BY CARRIES SWAIN.

BY CARLEs SWAIN.
The Sabbath sun was setting slow,
Amidst the clouds of even;
"Our Father"-breathed a voice below
"Father who art in heaven!
Beyond the earth--beyond the cloud
Those infant words were given;
"Our Father" angels sang aloud
"Father who art in heaven!"
"Thy kingdom come''--still from the ground
That childlike voice did pray;
ssThy kingdom come"--God's hosts resound
Far up the starry way!
"Thy will be done"-with little tongue,
That lisping love implores;
"Thy will be done"-the angelic throng-
Sing from seraPhic shores.
t'For ever"-still those lips repeat
Their closing evening prayer;
''For ever"-foats in music sweet
High midst the angels there!
Thine be the glory evermore,
From Thee may ne'er sever;
But every Christian land adore
Jehovah!-God for ever!

THE HORSE.

The iron horse goes dashing Bly,
The turf-steed painting, lags behind;
While rail road cities onward fly,
As swift, aye, swifter than the wind!
But steem's too slow;-it will not do;
The cry, is, on! more speed! more power
On!-rack the brain for something new,
A thousand miles, at least, an hour!
And yet too slow-a feater pace!
Bring down great heavens throughfare!
T. aanihilate both time and space,
A thought and light past through the air!
IT'S done! he comes! the lightning horse
Lo! thought and time fall far behind!
The prize is thine, immortal Morse,
a triumph grand of mighty mind!

We hail thee Monarch of the q

The action Of DIR. Storms Scotch Cough Can
dy differs very materially from any other CON-
pound ever invented. 1t not only allays Bron'
purge, il keeps the stomach and bowels in a
condition, leaving the patient an appetite
which few other Cough Mixtures could -+
We have N: dspositr;;: - rnjure the inventor
of any particular medicine, but i'll justice 10 the
world, we will give il as our honest opinion,
formed by the observations of eleven years in
the school of medicine, that large and frequent
draughts of nAuseous Hquid---C Compounds fakea
into the stomach from time 10 fime--must hare a
tendency to destroy the healthy tone Of that ritdl
organ Of the human system.
No such objection can be urged againstth use
of this valuable Medicated Candy, for Sugar isa-
grceable both TO the palatS and stomach, and we
honestly believe that this preparation will do all
that medicine can do towards the relief of per-
sons suffering with Colds, Coughs, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Bleeding of the Lungs, Pain in the Side
and Breast, Difficulty Of Breathing, Hoarseness,
and all other symptoms Of Consumption.

COMETS.-The opinion that an ETHEREAL
medium pervades the regions of space, of
sufficient density to affect the motions of
comets, though so rare as to offer no sensi-
BILE resistance to the denser masses of the
planets, whose periods of revolution have
continued exactly the same since the epoch
of the first astronomical observation, seems
to be gaining ground. Its existence indeed
seems alone competent to explain the OBJ
served acceleration of Encke's Comet in
its orbit-[Wright's Paper.
