a CERTAIN Cure for This Disease may
N be found in the use Of Perry Daviss Vegetable
PAIN KILLER.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, May 8, 1855.
GENTLEMEN: feel under obligations 10 you for the
benefit have received from your invaluable Pain
Killer.
We have had some cholera here on the Mississippi
thus early in the season. few days SINCE assisted
in Laying out" and burying one Of our citizens who
was supposed to have died with the disease. The
next morning was taken with severe vomiting ac-
companed with GOODNESS Of the extremities. Warm
covering hot publications. failed TO restore warmth
My wife's family who had used the Pain Killer with
success during the cholera season in Buffalo, in lS49,
advised me TO take it. took two doses, at intervals
of fifteen minutes. A fine perspiratou ensued, and
the next day. barring little weakness, was well,
and have been since.
II may have been an attack Of ague but whether
ague or cholera, il answered my purpose.
Since my recovery, find that several Of our citi-
zens have used the Pain Killer remedy for cho-
ers and pronounced II good. therefore take plea
sure in recommending il to still more extensive
notice.
Yours, truly, W. NJ. CRolzER,

The Knckerbockcr tells an excellent story Of

Of what happened at the close of one Of his meet

II am now going to pray, and | want all that
desire to be prayed for TO send up their names on
piece Of paper"
On the occasion TO which We refer, there was at
once sent up to the desk quite pile Of little slips
Of paper, with the name on whose behalf he was
10 wrestle," as be said, " with the Almighty"
A pause soon ensued, when he said !" Send 'em
up! | can pray for FIVE thousand just as easy as
caa for dozen. Send 'eni up. ! haven't any
paper. Get up and name the friend you want
prayed for"
At this stage of the proceedings, man whom
we shalt call ozel Bigg, stawart man of six feel
and a half in stockings, notorious unbeliever
and confirmed wag TO boot, rose in the midst o.
the congregation, mark for all, aud amidst the
wnks and becks and smiles Of the auditory, said
mir. Burchard, ] want you TO pray for Jim
Thompson
The Rev. petitioner saw, from the excitement in
the audience, that 0ziel was " hard case"
What Z your name, sir, and who is Mr.
Thompson y
g It's Jim Thompson he keeps a tavern down
in Thompsonyille and | keep public house q
little below him. He is an Internal scoundrel and
want to give him llt."
But said Nc. Burchard, Z" have you faith IN
the efficacy Of prayer9 Do you believe in the
power Of petitonY"
That is n'ither here nor there" Responded

The Pine.
ny II H. a. HOsNER.

W ". II. c. HosNER
While messy old pines sang lullaby wild;
l couched on the grass when an innocent chhu,
And fanced thai angels were towering round
No instrument fashioned by frail mortal hand,
Could rouse ia my bosom feeling 81 grand
As that magical, soit, and mysterious sound.
In keeping with freedoms proud throne on the hills,
How tie roar Of a sonn-trmbied pine forest thrills
The heart Of the mountameer mmntled in cloud
IL sends to the valleys voice Of dsmay,
And sounds like the quick march OF hosts to the fray,
While drums beat the charge, and the trumpet is
loud.
Though soft are the tones that the wild winds evoke
From the glossy eaved beech, or centennial oak,
The pines give u sweeter response 10 their call;
And often think, when the branches are stirred,
OF rich, organ-peals in some old minister heard,
While ghosts seem 10 start from the echoing wall.
When winter is coating the hillside with snow,
And dropping shroud on the meadows below,
The pine, like sentinel, stands on the height;
Ice covers its trunk with gttering mail,
And il welcomes the rush OF the pitiless gale,
Its green arms uptossing in frantic delight.
Meet place for the bird ofour banner 10 rest,
Or build for his royal descendants nest,
Is the tall, misty cone Of some towering pine,
Its branches give tongue, and proclaim HIM king
When sunward, in circles, he mounts on the wing
To gaze on the earth like vision divine.
OH grand is the dash of the surf on the shore,
And wild the mad torrents tumultuons roar
While cliffs, overhangng, with spray-drops are
wet;
But the sigh OF the wind in forest of pines,
Like troops the hill SUBMITS marshacd in lines,
Is n sound that poet can never forget.
Nov ii swells on the ear, with billowy roll
Anon breathes in whispers of love to the soul
For spirits are touching the emerald keys:
Talk not Of the magic of lutte or Of Tyre
Poetic emotion they cannot inspire
Like melody woke in the pines, by the breeze.
