While feelings burn within my breast,
Although by thee. perhaps, forgot,
On this remembrance OF will rest.
/, Pleasures hour my heart will say,
Though brightly move these moments by
Yet far less bright and best are they,
Than those l knew when thou vert nigh.
And off in sorrows lonely hour.
The memory on my soul will steal,
Like music's strains. With magic power,
To chase away es,h thought Of Ill.
FAREWELL. may sorrow never thrill
That breast, where truth and peace resides,
But unprofsned by anguish still,
May all thy hours In sweetness glide.
And when thy gentle spirit scars,
From its abode Of peace and love,
MAY angels bear that spirit home,
Up TO the throne Of God above.

Large hotties : Only Ono Dollar.
The Proprietor of the Great American Remedy "VAuoHNa
VEGETABLE LrTHosrRPTIo MIXTURE" induced by the
urgent solicitations of his Agents, throughout the United
States and Canada, has now
Reduced the Price
Of his popular and well known article; and from this date,
henceforth, he will put up but one size only, = his quart
bottles; : the retail price will be
-. ONE DOLLAR.
Thaa public may rest assured that the character of the Medi
cine, its strength, and curative properties WILL REMAIN
uNeHAsoED, and the same care will DO bestowed In pre-.
pairing IL as heretofore.
As this medicine. under its reduced price, will be purchased
by those who have not hitherto made themselves acquainted
with its virtues, the proprietor would beg to intimate that his
article is not to be classed with the vast amount of Remedies
Of the day - it claims for itself a greater healing poner, ia
all diseases, than any other preparation noo before the
icorid; and has sustained itself for eight years by its superior
medical virtues, and, until this reduction, commanded double
the price of any other article in this line.
EsTICE PARTICuLARLy, this article acts with great heal
ing power and certainty, upon the
Blood, Liver, Kidneys, Lungs
md all other organs. upon the proper action of which life and
health depend.
This medicine has a justly high repute as a remedy for
Dropsy and Gravel,
and all diseases Of that nature. II may be relied upon when
the intelligent physician has abandoned his patient, = and for
these distressing diseases, more especially DRoPsy. the propri.
etor would earnestly and honestly recommend II. At It's
present price it is easily obtained ~ all, and the trial will provo
the article to be the
Cheapest Medicine in the World!

they contain over sixteen pages of receipts, Tin addition TO full

will save many dollars per year to practical housekeepers.
These receipts arc Introduced to make the book Of great
value, aside from its character as an advertising medium fs

letters from all parts of the country. may be relied upon.
