Extract of Letter from Mr.. William Galpin,

To Professor HOLLOWAY,
SIN, AT The age Of is my wife (who
is now 6l) caught a violent cold, which
settled in her legs, aad ever since that
slime they have been more OF less sore,
and greatly inAamed. Hcragonies were
distraciing, and for months together she
was deprived entirely Of resi- and sleep.
Every remedy that medical men advised
was tried, but without cffrctj her health
suffered severely, ard the state Of her
loes was terrible. ] had often read your
Advertisements, aud advised her 10 try
your Pills and Ointment; and, as last
resource, after every other remedy had
proved useless, SHE consented 10 do so.
She commenced six weeks ago, and,
strange TO relate, is now in good health.
Her legs are painless, without seam or
scar, and her sleep sound and undis-
turbed. Could you have witnessed the
sufferings Of my wife during the last 4S
years, and contrast them with her pfesen,
enjoyment Of health, you would indeed
feel delighted in having been the means
of so greatly alevipling The suferirgs Cf
a fellow creature. (Silned)

Tired or Farming.

A few mont tbs ago man who had been
farmer from his early life. came TO the
city to buy stoves to sell again. Said
he TO the stove-dealer:
The weavil begins to infest the wheat.
and all things considered, l am tirl Of
farming
The stove-dealer remarked that he
thought within himself. that just as like
rs not the disseminated farmer would
find a weavil in the heart Of the new
business; and SO i, proved, for, when the
day arrived on which the note matured
given for the stoves. the old farmer, now
turned tradesman, confessed that he
had not been able to sell his stoves,
that he had most Of them on hand.
Tired Of farming, the most indepen-
dent business man can engage in, be-

The Past.

The past! the misty past
How dim aud faint its shadows are
OFT, the mind wanders back afar
To trace the formlcss visions wild,
That throng'd our soul when but child.
The past the misty past
Deep buried meath its inner shrine,
Lie images of by gone time;
The hopes and fears of other years
Their disappoiuiments and their tears.
The past. the misty past!
Tbs friends We vow'd ne'er to forget
Their fond forms linger near us yet;
Tho half defaced by fresher scenes,
We cherish them as happy dreams.
The past the misty past
The home OF anguish dark, and deep;
The bourne where all our s0lrows sleep;
Entomb'd with many rising sigh,
Meath dark obliyions wave they lie.
