NV ChiIdhood,s Home.

u0osstsd By TIE reception Of a boq'aet during
seuere illness.
Oh! let them touch my burning brow,
The petals OF those dewy flowers,
And LET my spirit wander now,
Back through mist Of by-gone hours,
Toa sunny spot in far off CLINE,
Where l used TO rove in my childhood's time.
My childhood's home how like SPELL,
Thy dear and sacred memory lies,
Within my heart-as In well,
The trembling light Of starry skies,
Cleans through its crystal depths at even,
Until they seem second heaven
And sweet breath Of southern air
Seems stealing gently by me now.
The same that stirred my sunny hair.
And blew the bonnet from my brow,
Long, long ago, when had gone
To gather flowers at early dawn. t
Again, with many joyous bound, t
Ny tiny footsteps swiftly pass,
Where golden butter-cups were found,
Half hidden mid the rustling grass.
And volets from the soft green sod,
Seemed meekly locking up TO God.
There often have paused TO hear
The bee his drowsy matin sing,
Too gay and guileless then to fear,
That honey bees perchance might sting;
To think of i'll or shrink from harm.
And now along the good old hall
Is scattered half my fragrant store.
For have heard my mothers call,
And, dancing through the open door,
Her morning kiss fondly meet,
And fling my treasures at her feet.
Then, with light and stealthy tread
steal behind my fathers chair,
To fling garland DER his head,
And Irvine il mid the silvery hair,
Till every rose with dewy glow,
Seems blushing meath drift of snow.
And now once moro seem to stand
Where long dark shadows round me sweep,
My gypsy bonnet in my hand, .
For tho full sunlight dared not creep,
With all it's gttering pomp, between
Those twining boughs Of evergreen.
love the gay, glad things of earth,
The sunshine, birds, and streams and flowers
Yet would hush my childish mirth,
And, through those dim, sequestered bowers,
In solitude, delight TO steal
Twas there learned to think and feel.
And oft I've spread a banquet fair,
OF acorn cups and rose leaves bright,
That fairies might assemble there,
Torevel in the fair moonlight;
I love TO dream of mysteries,
Beneath those dark, ancestral trees.
That homestead is in ruins laid
Its fairest blossoms now are dead fa
Yet still their deep and solemn shade,
Upon the waving grass is she'd
Thus often sunshine will depart,
But shadows hnger on the heart.
And now. when fever wildly burns,
Within this sad and aching breast,
My spirit through the past returns,
Beneath that peaceful grove of rest
There love q ceaselsss vigil keeps,
And pensive memory sometimes weeps
The rustling Of wild birds wings,
A star, Hover, q gush Of rain,
The sight of sad or joyous things,
Oft make me seem a child again;
With voiceless eloquenoe they come,
Bright phantoms Of my childhood's home.

the several diseases TO which they are applicable are
given on the box. Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured by them we may mention
Liver Complaint In its various forms Of Janndce,
Indigestion, Languor and Loss Of Appetite, Lstless

Stomach and Side. They should be freely taken in
the spring Of the year. purify the blood and prepare
the system for the change Of seasons. An occasional
dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action and
restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood and by their stimuant action on the circula-
tory system renovate the strength of the body, and
restore the wasted diseased energies Of the whole
organism Hence an occasional dose is advantageous
even though no serious arrangement exists; but un
necessary dosing should be carried too far, rs
every purgatve medicine reduces the strength when
taken to excess. The thousand cases in which a
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every body
and it is confidently believed this pill will answer
better purpose than anything which has hitherto been
available TO mankind. When their virtues are once
known the public will no longer doubt what remedy
to employ when in need Of a cathartic medicine.
Being sugar-wrapped they are pleasant 70 take, and
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their
use in any quantity.

RHEUMATISM.

This severe and painful disease has long
baffied the skill Of thousands of our most eel
ebrated physicians. Time and money have
been wasted in futile endeayors to obtain
some embrocation that would perform a cure !;
but all have failed except HUSr's Lrsnnsr,
and that has been successful in almost every
instance in which it has been employed.
Rheumatism arises from different causes,
but most generally proceeds from colds, expo
sure to the weather, aud sleeping in damp
rooms Those who are subject to this com
plant should avoid remaining IN damp places
too long. Reader, if you have the rheuma
tism, no matter how slight procure a bottle
Of that remedy, so celebrated under the name
Of HgsTs LrsmKsr without delay, and apply
It thoroughly to the parts affected, and pain
will vanish.
