Where r~esignedly he sat;

He was Furthermore enlbcllished
By a ticket in his hat.
aThe conductor touched his arm,
And awoke him from a nap,

An admonitory slap,
And his ticket to the man
In. the yellow-lettercl cap.

On bonnets in u heap. '
aAll the while the swaying cars
Kept rumbling DER the rail,
And the frequent whistle sent
~ Shrieks of anguish to the gale,
And the cinders battered down

THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its cures of every variety of pulmonary disease,
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evi-
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulness, and so numerous the cases of its 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 appar-
ent 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 milder varieties
of CoLDs, COUGHS, HoARsENEss. &C.; and for
CHILDREN it is the Pieasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
As it has long been in constant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure the
people its quality is kept up to the bcs. that it ever
has been and that the genuine article is sold by

WHY DID HE DIE?

Why did he die?" the mother asked, A tears bcdew'd her cheek, Az rising sobs almost forbade
 Her ialtering tongue 10 speak. She stopp'd, and kiss q her son $ pale corps She grasp q his hand so cold Soon shall l slumber by Lis side,
 Tor l am growing old. " Why did he die?" we ask the rose,
 That blooms in fragrance sweet Why does 1t wither and decay,
 And crumble at our feet? The scent is gone which once exhaled From midst the crimson leaves, And where the blooming flower once hung His web the spider weaves. "Why did he die?'' Why melts the snow Before the summers sun? Why are the dew drops quaf'd away When morning is begun? Why bursts the bubble which so bright Sails through the vapory air? Why do the flowers thus fade and die, However bright and fair? Why did he die?''-The blooming rose The melting snowflake tells; The dew-drop bright, the bubble frail, The reason each reveals. For all on earth, man, woman, child,
 Rose, dew-drop, snowHake-all Were framed for time: as He decrees So each must droop and fall.

A PETRIP1ED INDIAN.-WhiIe engaged 1T exeayating recently Epon the Milwaullie anc La Crosse railroad, near Schlesengervile Iowa, the workmen came upon the petrifed remains of an Indian, and with the remain. some singular relics of olden times. The body was perfect, not having suffered by decay His height at the present day would be con sidered gigantic measuring seven feet two inches. On his breast was a plate of copper on which were engraved numerous hiero- |glyphics, the meaning of which can hardly b( imagined. But there they are record of the past. Could these hieroglyphics beread, they might, perhaps, unveil some of the mystery (which hangs like dark cloud over the his tory of the red man.

A ROMANS EPITAPH.-Some work men, in making an excavation at Con- stantine, in Algeria, short time back, came to an ancient tomb, which turned out to be that of Roman citizen. It offered no peculiarity in construction, but the inscription, which is in we'll written hexameters and pentameters, appears so curious, that a translation of 1t appears worth giving. It runs thus: II, Procilius, whose remains repose here, state the exact truth in these verses. l have spent a life, without annoyance, exercising the calling of silyersmith in my house at Cirte. I have always been of the strictest pro- bity, and of the most complete frank ness towards every man. I have nc- thing to complain of, for I was always gay and always happy, until the death of my chaste Valeria. I have celebra- ted with honor and in prosperity one hundred anniversaries of my birth day: and, at last, my final day arrived when my enfeebled frame rendered 1t well come.
