LEAVE PHYSIC ALONE, AND THE CHOLERA WILL

taking of physc for the purpose of keeping

fatal folly is carried 10 intolerabIe excess
People think they may fall sick, or fancy they
are so already, and rush to buy and swallow
the last nostrum which they have seen adverli-

amount of pills, panaceas, purges, and other
dabolc inventions, not fit 10 be pitched into
common sewer, have been forced down the in
nocent throats of frightened simpletons in this
City within the past fortnight?
We say 10 all parties: Leave Physic alone.
Don't convert yourselves into shor-lived depos-
tories Of quack medicines, whether prescribed
by the regular Of irregular faculty. Keep clean,
be temperate and regular in your habits, eat
moderately of ordinary wholesome food, and
take no medicine because you think you had bet
ter, or because some advertisement cries il up
as preventive, orbecause good-natured friend
counsels it.
If you are sick, or think so, go to some doc
tor in whom you can confide, and follow his
advice, but don't Try TO doctor yourself before

TeM, If YOU LOVE ME, SAY SOE
BY SARAH KENNEY.

Dear Tom, my brave, free.hearted lad,
Where'er you go God bless you!
You'd better speak, than wish you had,
If love for me distress you!
To me they say your thoughts incline,
And possibly they may SO;
Then once for all, to quiet mine,
Tom, if you love me, say SO.
On that sound heart and manly frame,
Sits lightly sport or labor
Good-humored, frank, and still the same,
To parent, friend or neighbor;
Then, why postpone your love to own
For me, from day to day, so,
And let me whisper, still alone,
Tom, if you love m@ say SO!
How oft when was sick or sad
With some remembered folly
The sight of you has made me glad,
Then almost melancholy!
All! why will thoughts OF one SO good,
Upon my spirits prey so!
By Won it should be UNDERSTOOD
Tom, if you love me, say so!
Last Monday at the cricket match,
No rival stood before you,
In harvest time for quick despatch,
The farmers all adore you,
And evermOre your praise they sing
Though one thing you delay SO,
And sleep nightly murmurng,
Tom, if you love me, say so!
Whate'er of ours ye chance to seek,
Almost before you breathe it,
Ibring with bushes on my cheek,
And all my soul goes with it,
Why thank me, then, with voice SO low,
And faltering turn away so!
When next you come, before you 60,
Tom, if you love me, say SO.
When Jasper Wild, beside the brook,
Resentlul round us lowered,
loft recall that lion look,
Which quelled the savage coward,
Bold words and free you uttered then,
Would they could find their way so,
When these moist eyes so plainly mean,
Tom, if you love me, say SO!
My friends, It's true, are well to do,
And yours are poor and friendless-
All, no, for they are rich in you,
Their happiness is endless.
You neverlet them shed tear,
Save that on you they weigh so,
There's one might give you better cheer,
Tom, if you love me, say so!
My uncle's legacy is all,
For you, Tom, when you choose it,
In better hands it cannot fall,
Or better trained to use it.
I'll wait for years-but let me not
Unwooed, unplghted stay so,
Since wealth and worth make even lot,
Tom, if you love me, say so!
