THE SPARROW'S NEST.

THE SPARROW'S NEST.
have little sparrow's nest
Within rose-bush growing nigh,
But what to do cannot tell,
To hide it from old pussy's eye;
For well know if once she sees
The downy young or hears them cry,
No art can save them from her fangs,
Noa protect-they're doomed to die.
The rose-tree grows beside the porch,
And casts its shade before the door,
And as each gust of wind sweeps by,
'Tis rudely shaken to and fro.
I've watched the little sparrow sit
Contented, while around her roared
The stormy wind, and on her head
The rain in heavy torrents poured.
love the little trusting thing,
That from my hand will often pick
The crumb of bread so fearlessly,
Altho' it's heart is beating quick.
Sometimes its Quaker-colored dress
With early dew is studded thick,
And then its damp and heavy wing
Will droop and fall as if 'twere sick.

JOHN HANCOCK.

It is we'll remembered that a reward of
E5OO was offered for the head of John Han
cock. When he signed the Declaration of
independence, he did it with bold hand,
in conspicuous manner, and rising from
his seat, and pointing to it, exclaimed;
"There! John Bull can read my name wi
thout spectacles; he may now double his
reward, and put him 10 defiance.''

TIME GREAT FLOOD Of lS47 will be long re-
Il membered in many parts OF the West. The
swollen streams seemed TO know no bounds but ris-
ing higher and higher carried dsmay to the inhabi-
tants Merchants were obliged remove their wares
from the rivers sides TO remoter places; families wee
compelled to desert their dwellings; the poor suffered
more severely than language can describe The pub
lie authorities were called on to administer aid and
counsel In short, great public calamity had oc-
cured
Well would it be if the sad consequences Of the
Flood had ceased when the waters subsidized But no.
ScThe retireing waves left vast aluval deposites,
which in few months MUST give that deleterious
miasm which produces bilious diseases!
What says the celebrated DIR. Ferguson on this
pointl Answer The cause OF bilious arrangement
has its principal source in halfdried margins drivers
All history and experience proves this theory. When
the British army encemped on the plains OF Estrem-
adura, at time when the river Guadiana had become
dry after flood, remittent and intermittent fevers
ragged among the troops with such destructive malig
nifty that they came nigh being extirpated.
The Graeienberg Company, therefore, earnestly
call the attention of the entire West to their most
traordnary and celebrated series OF Anti Bilious
Medicines. In every locality where there is the
slightest tendency TO any form OF Fever, Fever and
Ague, Dumb Ague and the like, the inhabitants
should at eend TO the General Agent OF the dis
trict and have Graefenberg Depot established neal
them Were this done, and the Graefenberg Vegeta-
bic Pills and Health BitIers used according to direc
tons, there would be no fear OF bilious diseases,
So important are the Graef nberg Medicines to the
people OF the West, that the following steps SHOULD be
Immediately TAKEN
LIST. Every neighborhood should have its Graefen
berg Depot.
BY addressing the General Agent of any district
this can be secured.
3D. Families should club together and get an imme
date supply.
3D. Emigrunt Societies and other philanthropic
bodies should furnish them TO the needy
BY such means bilious diseases will be entirely pre-
vented
The other Medicines of the Company are most en-
ineny adapted to the diseases for which they
commended and consist of the following
The Graefenberg Eye Lotion, the Children's Pana
cea the Green Mountain Ointment, the Consump
tive's Balm, the Dysentery Syrup

HNHE past summer (1S47) has been very rem arka
l. bic one. Frequent and heavy rain, followed by
intense and long continued heat had the effect IN the
first place, to promote rapid growth OF succulent
vegetation, and in the second to produce rapid de-
composition of vegetable matter. giving rise to much
miRspa and spreading sickness, disease and death,
in .es which had heretofore been remarkable for
their saubrity.
We are crediby informed, that whole meadows,
on which the grass unusually heavy, rotted TO
the ground and was not hit to be cut. In Indiana and
Illinois, the sickness was so general, that there was
not enough well persons to attend upon the sick,
whose sutii rings prctracted by want OF prop
remedies, well as OF good nursing. Much OF this
suffering might have been prevented, had every fam
lily kept hand supply OF medicines suited to coun-
teract the effects of this miasma with which the at
mosphere at certain times is surcharged. In addi-
ton to Quinine, (which is in such general as to
need no comment,) would strongly urge every
family to keep on hand one or more boxes of 'DR.

These Pills the prescription Of an eminentPhy-

OF the Pills, and great the number OF persons BEN
Gifted by them that the making of the quantity requi-
site to supply the increasing demand, began to inter-
fere materially with the time required to attend to

all the ills that flesh is heir but in all affections
of the Liver and in all bilious complaints they stand
without rival. All who have ever used them, give
them the preference over all other Pills, and cannot be
