Der of the Gazette, I found a communication from
our friend, Mr.. L. T. Spiers, recommending DR.. R.
II. Worthington's Cholera Mixture to the public,
for the cure of ~diarrhoa, dysentery, and other kin
dred diseases. Having experienced in my own case,
the happy effects of its use, as we'll as other members
Of my family, 1 can safely say that I regard it ST.
perior to any remedy we have ever used, in an ex-
perience of twenty years. would, therefore, re-
commend it to every family as an invaluable remedy,
and every individual to procure a bottle and keel
it by them in these times of cholera.

From the pleasant gala day
With which our existence teens

From tho arbuscle retreat,
Full soon shall earthly a~riolation
Fail our lone hearts to greet.

From all that's worthy love-
From fond hopes sadly riven,

Oh millions now are dying
For Wisdom's waters sweet
In darkness sit they signing,
While sorrows roLnd them beat!
With gasping lips they're pleading,
While death is white thereon
o. shall their souls be bleeding
Their blessing never won?
Extend the means Of knowledge,
And bless each human mind
Make earth one mighty college,
The wealth of art unbind
The heart Of man enlighten,
Ills mind full deeply smite;
Till suns shall Ger 1t brighten,
And thoughts be stars of light.
Why should mankind be sqpEen?-
In ignorance be bound p

And meath the brute be found2

Beauty, blessed to the sight!
Virtuous mind is mans salvation,
Bearing fruits Of angel food
Blessing nation after nation,
With rewards Of Truth and Good.
Glorious will appear the beauty,
When all minds are in one frame
When like Christians upon duty,
All will fash with heavenly flame;
Ard like ocean in the glowing

From the worlds great heart, wide-howinj
Will gush out high song and prayer.
