The Old Mans Dream.
BY JEANNE.

The old man sits in his oaken char tt
BY the ingle-side to-day,
With his wrinkled brow and his frame 50 weak,
And his palsied limbs and his shrunken cheek,
And his locks so thin and gray.
And he gazes long at the ruddy blaze
As it curls and hckers and glows,
As he seems TO see in its changeful light
The forms that the years, in their rapid fight,
Have borne to the death repose.
There eogneth the form of maiden fair,
With laughing, mischievous eyes
lie bath never beheld such another pair
And the love-lights of that he seeth there
Seem borrowed from the skies.
And she wreathed a smile with her ruby lips,
Such as ne 'er another hath done,
Aud she cometh again as she did Of yore,
And bendeth- low DER his forehead hoar,
As she did in the days long gone.
And she twineth her arms with loving embrace
Round his neck, and she presseth kiss
With her glowing lips ON his aged brow,
And the shriveled old man is young again now,
Living over rich seasons of bliss.
And then there cometh tiny form,
And shareth his kind caress,
And his heart yearneth over the tiny one,
As father yearneth over his lirst-born SON.
And prayeth kind Heaven TO bless
And il changeth again, and prattling boy
Is neslled upon MS knee,
And other wee forms are around him now,
And pridetsits enthroned on the old mans brow
AS he lists TO their childish glee
The beautiful maiden with laughing eyes
Is the wife of his early years,
And that tiny one was the eldest child,
And that prattling group, that his heart beguiled
Are the babes of his prayers and tears.
But the fire burns low, and dmness steals
Der the old mans vision now,
And there cometh the shape the bier and pail,
And his fondly loved wife, and his children, oil
Are shrouded beneath it now
The flame dies out, and stihed groan
Burst forth from the old mans heart
The vision hath fied-he's awake again
A lonely old man, with anguish and pain
Awaiting his call to depart.

!. PINE HILL, March 4, 1854.
DEAR SIR: ! have been subject Of Dyspepsia, in
its worst FORM for the last five years Such was my
condition for twelve months that the physicians and
all who saw me said must die. While in this con-
dition was carried to the watering places in Vr-
ginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, but was not
benefited by any water to which was taken. While
on my way home, stopped week at Rutherfordton,
small village in North Carolina to try the effect Of
Chalybuate water in that place. About the last
of the week went into drug store to get some med
icine for my child and myself. There were several
of the village physicians in the store and one of them
seemed to take some interest in my case and after
asking some questions, said he had been dys-
peptic and had been greatly benefited by the use Of
"Hoohand's German Bitters, prepared BY yeu and
he insisted that would try the Bitters. He also
called the next day at my room, and insisted so much
that would try them that asked him to get me
one bottle. He did it. and commenced taking it as
directed and was benefited by it than all the
water and medicine had ever taken,
After reaching home one of my neighbors came TO
me for prescription and medicine, Che dyspeptic
and gave him nearly all the Btters had left which
effected much good in his case. He has often called
on mo for more of the kind of medicine saying
he was more benefited by it than any other he had
taken but have not been able to get any more for
him or myself since. viii you therefore please ship
me dozen or more as soon as possible, -
Respectfully, yours, w. SMITH.
