The Death Song Of Canassa.

nv nRATRIcE.
The noon rode forth in splendor, and the stars
Gods sentinels--sparkled like the bright gems
Whose briliianco lights the throne Of Hin, l An;
And soft the Eephys Of the balmy South
Came laden with the fragrance of n thousand
Flowers; and the silent lake hOw'd calmly
On. rejecting Heavens glowing watchlishts,
When from the forest depths Canassa cane;
His once bright piercing eye--now dim aud dull,
With the Time-frOsts Of seventy winters
Was rhisd in duplication to the throne
or Him, the Kishtan Of the happy land
Whose fair home lies toward the setting sun.
And thus be sang:
Fainter and fainter CLEANS
The council fire in the fair hunting grounds
OF his tribe but fainter CLEANS the war fire
In tho heartofthe great Ncrijiweck
Dark, dark rolls the waves of Ontario
Darker roll the thoughts DER Canassa's soul!
He is no more chief in the council lodge,
Canassa Is nothing but n woman;
NO longer can he whirl the war hatchet
Or bend the yew bow at his enemy.
His arm aud voice arc like those Of n child.
Deep, deep is tho ruston Cauassa's spear,
but deeper the rust of Time on his heart!
Frail, trail is the cord Of Canassa's bow,
But weaker the cord which binds linn to lifel
Tho p~ale-iace plants his lodge upon the shore
Of bright Ontario, but Canassa will
Plant his on tho shores Of Eternity
The hunting grounds Of his tribe disapp ars
hut those II the sun open before him.
There, there will Canassa bend his yew bow
Md there shout the hunting cry Of his tribe
While swiftly chasing the shadowy game;
In the green woods ofthe bright Spirit land
Will Canassa send with unerring aim
The shaft at the heart Of the fair young doe.
The waters flow calmly, and rs they flow
They opcn their bosom that Canassa
May down 10 their embrace quietly lie.
Through them no will walk to the land ofbliss,
Ind ManitOu's braves will meet Canassa,
And lead him to the children Of tho sun
Once more will Canassa shout the war-cry
nf his tribe, and amid its echoes
Will no on to the land Of bright shadows!

Let us Reason Together.
WHY ARE WE SICK,

WHY ARE WE SICK.
It has been the lot Of the human race to be
weighed down by disease and suffering. Hollo-
ways Pills are specially adapted to the relief of
the weak, the nerveus,SfE delicate, and the in
firm, of all chimes, ages, and constitutions. Prof.
Holloway personally superintcnds the manufac-
ture of his medicines In the United States, and /
offers them to a free and enlightened people. as
the best remedy the world ever saw for the remov-
al of disease.
THESE PILLS PURIFY THE BLOOD.
These famous Pills are expressly combined TO
operate on the stomach, the liver, the kidneys, the
lungs, the skin, and the bowels, correcting any
arrangement in their functions, purifying the
blood, the very fountain of life, and thus curing
disease in all its forms.
DYSPEPSIA ANDLIVER COMPLAINTS.
Nearly half the human race have taken these
Pills. 1t has been proved in all parts of the world,
that nothing has been foand equal to them in ca
ss OF disorders of thel liver, dyspepsia, and
stomach complaints genePlly. They soon give a
healthy tone to these orsans, however much de-
ranged, and when all othF means have failed.
GENERAL DEBILITY, ILL HEALTH.
Many of the most desptic Governments have
opened their Custom Hhses to the introduction
of these Pills, that they miy become the medicine
of the masses. Learned colleges admit that this
medicine is the best remedy ever known for per-
sons of delicate health, oiwhere the saystem has

rs no doubt. the most wonderful discovery of
this age of progress, for it will restore per-
manently. gray hair to its original color, cover the
head of tho bald with a most luxuriant growth,
remove at once all dandruff and itching, cure all
~scrofula and other cutaneous eruptlons, such as
scald head, etc. 1t will cure, as if by magic,
nervous or periodical headache; make the hair
soft, glossy, and wavy, and preserve the color per-
fectly, and the hair from falling to extreme old
age.
We could give the testimony of more than one
hundred to the truth of every word we have writ

The following is from a distinguished member
of the medical profession
ST. PAUL, January !, 1855.
Prof. o j. Wood-Dear Sir: Unsolicited, I send
you this certificate. After being nearly bald for
n long time, and having tried all the hair ~restora-
tives extant, and having no faith in any, L was
induced, on hearing of yours, to give it a trial.
l placed myself in the hands of a barber, and had
my head rubbed with a good stiff brush, and the
Restorative then applied, and we'll rubbed in, till
the scalp was a glow. This I repeated every
morning, and in three weeks the young hair APP
peared and grew rapidly from August last till the
present time, and is now thick, black, and strong
soft and pleasant to the touch whereas, before,
it was harsh and wiry, what little there was of it,
and that little was disappearing very rapidly. |
still use your restorative about twice a week, and
shall soon have a good and perfect crop of hair.
Now, / had read of these things-and who has
n0tI put nave not seen mtnerlO any case where
any persons hair was really benefited by any Of
the hair tonics, etc., of the day and it really
gives me pleasure to record the result of my ex-
perience. l have recommended your preparation
to others, ana it already has a large and general
sale throughout the Territory. The people here
know its effects, and have confidence in it. The
supply you sent us, as wholesale agents for the
! Territory, is nearly exhausted, and daily inquiries
are made for it. You deserve credit for your dis.
!. covery and ], for one, return you my thanks fol-
the benefit it has done me, for l certainly had de-
SPARED long ago of ever efecting any such re-
suit. Yours, hastily, j. W. BOND.

was becoming gray, to its original color. l hav
