ILoyE THE LADIES.

ny J. sTILLMAN
love the ladies', every one
The laughing ripe brunette
Those dark eyed daughters Of the sun,
With tresses black as jet.
What raptures IN their glances glow,
Rich lints their cheeks disclose,
And in the little dimples there,
Young smiling Loves repose.
| love the ladies', every one
The blonde so seft ard fair
With looks so mild and languishing,
And bright and golden hair;
How lovely are their syiph-like forms,
Their alabaster hue,
And their bushes far moe beautiful
Than rose-buds bathed in dew.
love the ladies, every one
Zen those whose graceful forms
Are rugged as the oak that's borne
A hundred winters storms
The young, the bold the stout, the thin,
The short as well as tall,
Widows and wives, matrons and maids,
0, yes, love them all
1 love the ladies', every one
None but wretch would hout EN-
This world would be lonely place
IL we were left without them;
But lighted by woman's smile,
Away all gloom is driven,
And the most humble home appears
Almost little heaven.
love the ladies', every one
They're angels all, God bless EN-
And what can greater pleasure give,
Than TO comfort and caress 'emf
call myself temperance man,
So III drink their health in water
Here's to the mothers, one aud all,
And every mothers daughter.

TENTLEMEN.-The valuable medicinal
NJ properties of Basam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the faculty, but the great dis
advantage arising from its nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented its administration in many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual ,aodas operandi Of prescribing il, either
in the form OF an Emulsion or Gelatinous Cap
sules has not been found satisfactory, being liable
TO some objection, either from the difficulty expe-
ri-nced by some individuals in the degutition OF
orally found in the Emulsion
Joyce's tasteless solution Of Copaiba is the
most unique preparation yet introduced TO the
medical profession, as it contains so per cent. OF
the purest Para Copaba, without taste or smell,
water, and is pronounced by the most eminent
new worlds TO contain all the medicinal proper
ties of Balsam Copsiba without its dissgreable
characteristics.
II is an efficient preparation for all diseases OF
the mucous membranes and particularly Como
rheGa, Leucorrhga, elect, painful hemorrhoidal
affections and in chronic irritation Of the bladder.
