A DUCK OF A MAN.

Dear me ! I'm ajoycus wife,
I've left my anxious mother,
And such man as | have gol-
think there's ne'er another.
The other day when in fret,
Iruined my costly fan,
He softly smiled but nothing said,
He's such "duck of a man.
He rocks the cradle, and the babe
He handles on his knee,
And when the cheIub's naughty,
He laughs with heartless glee;
He never snubs me when I'm OUT
/ do not think he can
Behave as some vile, cross men do.
Hes such ''duck of a man."
The other day he brought me home
A stylish little bonnet
Forgetting where lie put the hat,
| sat myself upon ii.
| crushed ten dollars worth quite fiat,
When straight away he ran
And bronghta pretier--oh the dear;
Ain't he "duck oi man.
burnt lis cloak the other day
Against our parlOr stove,
Instead Of Gliding me lie said
was a turtle dove;
And when his watch To Sis | gave,
Who 10 the window ran,
And threw it out, he never frowncd,
He's such 'duck of man..
My sister Mary envies me-
Turns up her lit,le nose,
And spiiefulIy says, Sissy dear,
There your hen-pecked husband goes.
She needn't talk, the saucy firt,
She'll have, if she only can,
A husband half so good as mine,
Though not ''duck of a man.

that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the e'i
dences of its virtues in any community where II
has been employed. So wide is the field OF Its use
fulness, and so numerous the cases OF aus cures,
that almost every section of the country aboundS
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases OF the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa-
rent to escape observation and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous atfec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the mider varieties
of CoLDs, COUGHS, HoARsENEss, &C.; and for
CHILDREN it is the pleasautest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
