RAVENNA, WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 1. 1852.
Do They Hiss He?

Do they miss me at home? Do they miss me!
'Twould be assurance most dear,
To krow at this moment some loved one
Were saying, 81 wish he were herei''
To feel that the group at the freside
Were thinking of me as | roam!
Oh yesl 'twould be joy beyond measure
To know that they missed me at henis.
When twilight approaches, the season
That ever was sacred 10 song,
Does some one repeat my name over.
And sigh that tarry so long!
And is there chord in the music
That's missed when my voice is away!
And a chord in eaca heart that maketh
Regret ut my wsarisome stay?
Do they place me chair of the table,
Where evenings home pleasures are nigh?
And lamps are lit in the parlor
And the stars in the calm azure sky?
And when tue ssgood nights" are repeated.
And each lays them down TO sleep,
Do they think Of the absent, and watt me
A whisper 'good nighti'' DER the deep!
Do they miss me at home? Do they miss me!
At morning, at noon, or at night!
And fingers one gloomy shade round them,
That only my presence can light?
Are joys less inyitingly welcomed,
Are pleasures les hailed than before,
Becanse one is missed from the circle?
Because [ am with them no more.
On, yes they do miss me! kind voices
Are calling me back as | roam;
And their eyes are grown weary with weeping
And watch but TO welcome ne home.
Ki7d friends, ye shall wait me no longer,
I'll hurry me back from the seas;
For how can l tarry when followed
by watchings and prayers such as these?

Mr.. John D. park-Dcar Sir-Dr. Guysotps
yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla is performing
some astonishing cures in this place. A Mr..
S. D. Strickland has just informed nc that one
Of his children has been entirely cured ola
severe case of Scrofala by the use ofonly one
bottle. He had tried almost everything that
the Doctors had prescribed; but all Of no avail,
as the child continued getting worse. The
sores arc now all healed up and the child appa-
rcntly well, which Is justly ascribed to the use
of'thc Yellow Dock and Sarsaparila. tSigncd.

J.D.pARx, ESQ.,, Cincinnati, o.-Dcar Sir
1t gives me great satisfaction to add my testl-
mony in favor of'Dr. Guyso,t's Extract offcl-
low Dock and Sarsaparilla,' to that Of the nu-
mcrous and highly respectable persons who
have been benefited by the medicine.
My wife has been suffering for the space OF
nearly five years with Scroiula and Cancer,
which, think, found its origin in the derangee-
mcnts of the system peculiar to her sox, while
in tho mean time she was under the care Of the
mos, eminent Physicians in this Section Of the
country, without deriving any material aid from
their prescriptions.
Upon tho recommendation Of Dr.. Cookies,
one of our Physicians, who had seen the med
icinc used with happy effect, ] obtained Of your
Agents here, Mcssrs. Rice & Mcfarland, one
bottle of sDr. Guysott's Extract Of Yellow
Dock and Sarsaparilla,' and as my wife found
relief from that bottle, l bought some six bot
ties, which she has taken with the most aston
ishing benefit, for am pleased to say it has en-.
tireiy cured her, for she has entirely recovered
from her illness, and the Scrofula and Cancer
arc cured sound and well.
Accept my gratitude. Respectfully,
MICHAEL GOLDMAN.
