Best suited to the sons of toll
What though on coarsest food he fares
And tends the loom or tils the soil
What though no gold leaf gilds the tongue
Devoted to congcnial chat
II right prevails and no. the wrong,
The man is zone the worse for that.
What though within the humble cot,
No costly ornament is seen
What though the wife possesses not
Her satin gowns Of black ana green
What though the merry household band
Hail. naked fly to ball and bat
IL conscience guide the heart and hahd
The''manis none the worsef for that
True worth is not thing of dress,
OF splendor, wealth, or classic lore;
Would that these trappings we loved less
And chung to honest worth the more!
Though pride may spurn the toillng crowd
The tattered garb, the crownless hat,
Yet Col am Nature cry aloud
The man is none the worse for that.

SARSAPARILIA.

OF all the remedies that have been discovered
~ during the present age for the '.thousand
ills thut flesh is heir to,'' none equal this won
derful preparation. Only three years have
elapsed since the discoverer (who spent de-
cade in studying, experimentalzng, and pre-
fechng it,) first introduced il to the public.
and il is already recognized by the most emf
nent physicians in all parts of the country, to
be the most surprising and effective remedy for
certain diseases of which they have knowledge.
All other compounds or syrups of this root
have hitherto failed TO command the sanction
OF the faculty, because on being tested, they
have been found to contaiq noxious ingredients
which neutralize the good effects of the Sarsap
arilla, oftentimes injure the health of the pa
tent. 1t is not so with IIurley's preparation.
This is the pure and genuine extract of that
foot, and will, on trial. be found to effect per-
rect cure of the following complaints end dis
eases:
Affections of the Bones. Habitual Costiveness,
Debility. Indigestion.
Diseases. of the Kidneys, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia. Piles,
Erysipelas. Pulmonary Diseases,
Female Irregularities, Scrofula or Kings Evil,
Fistua. SYPHILIS.
And all Skin Diseases.
Besides curing the above, it is also known to
be great and powerful tonic, purifying the
blood and invigorating the system.
In short, it is, without exception, in the
cases mentioned, and its general effect on the
system, the most effcacious as it is the most de-
81 able remedy of the age. 1t is already ex-
tenslvely used throughout the country, and is
fast obtaining an European reputation. The
instances of cures it has affected are daily COM
ing TO the proprietor's knowledge, and he has
no hesitation in recommending tito one and all
who desire to procure relief from suffering
One bette being tried, its effects will be too APP
parent to admit of further doubt.

shall be crossed at all times when the crossing
is safe and practicable with Promptness and
dispatch.
Our Ferry is the Oldest and most Regular

A Story for Boys.

A few days since in one of our Fox. Rivor
towns party of boys were coasting, and as
one after another they dartsd down the smooth
white course, and ran gaily back drawing their
sleds to the top of the hill for fresh start, the
laugh and the cheer that won even from busy
men and aged men smiling glance, at scene
which called back TO each one his own boy
hood. But alas, one of these lads will not re.
call that afternoons sport again, and another
will never look back upon that bright winters
day without shudder.
The story is sad one. During their sport,
the sled Of one of the boys ran az ainst that o
a playfellow's doing some slight injury. Ii
was provoking-it might perhaps, have been
avoided-but how does it compare with the
terrible result that follows? The second scene
is two angry boys with eyes flashing, and fists
clenched, fithing; and the next, ole of them is
lying on the snow, which is scarce paler than
his cheek, or the frightened countenances of
those who bend over him. His playmate has
killed him. Anger came suddenly upon their
peaceful sport, and this was the terrible con-
sequence. And now, boys, picture if you can
the agony of him whose hand has taken the
life of school fellow. What would he not
give 10 recall that blow? and yet he can no
more do SO than he can call back to life the
cold remains Of the active little school mate
who, but week ago, shared in his studies and
sports. Do not say that he is worse than you
are, If Won ever raised your hand in ANGER He
did not intend to kill his playfellow; he intend
ed nothing more than you, when a thousand
times at thousand things you have given "a
way TO passion. Boys, think of this; be for
bearing and manly, for true manlness is to
Shear and forbear." -Elgia Journal.
