cseded 600 grsmmes I4) weight. Nj.
Caslagnet and his interpreter were stun

ced at Oran was immense. The roofs oi

away by the wind, and the goods inunda-
ted, causing a loss Of 10000 f. The

hailstones, and the market gardens were
completely cut TO pieces. Several inhab-
ilaats who were surprised out OF town

REPLY TO "BACHELOR."

The gentlemen all call me proud,
But that will deny
For that is what won't allow
When am passing by.
But now for something you may see,
Just read these lines and think of me
And when you study them all o'er
Just think Of one you've seen before.
well remember years gone by,
fell in love with Willie,
thought that love would never die,
But away went lovely Billy.
And George then came with all his pride,
And thought to make Miss N, his bride,
But Oh that girl he could not get,
And it threw him in an awful pet
The next, young William briskly came,
Aud thought that he her love could gain,
But Oh that thought was all in vain,
For with another in she came.
Which was George, as you may know,
That caused young Willie for TO go;
And George then thought that he was right,
Until another came in sight.
Then Thomas came with all his JOY,
Thought he was a charming boy,
thought | would his love retain,
But Oh he was false young man.
But then another came 'tis true,
1t was young Louis that came in view /;
But Louis was fool you see,
And On | could not fancy he.
Then came John, from Harper,s Ferry,
And found the others all contrary ;
Ithen turned round and quickly found
That he could never suit in Town.
And Abe then came uron the row,
And proved all others overthrow
And now all others may rejoice,
And say that Henry Is my choice.
Now readers you may think 1t strange,
That have loved so many,
But here I'll let the truth remain,
never have loved any.
But now as have just began,
To love, if any others can;
But this want you all to know,
A Bachelor can't be my beau.
For he has livedso lone life,
He won't know how to use wife
As we'll as any other one
Therefore, the Bachelor | will shun.
As leap year now is near her close
I'm up for sale, you all may know,
Come, gentlemen bid if you CAN
But Bachelor is not the man.

THE ROYAL TOUCH.

How the r. Il. ResoIvent cured the Kings
Evil, after a congress of Crowned Monarchs
Failed 10 restore the supplicant 10 health.
THE FIRST SIGN
The presence of Pimples, Blo:ches Pustules,
letters, Rash Little Sores, Painful ltChings, Hot
Flushes sc, are sure indications Of the presence
of foreign and impure humors in the system,
and if allowed to mingle with the blood and re-
main in the system corruptng the blood and
filling the sewers of boiy with impurities, Sores
aud Ulcers will break out, and cover the body
with their repulsiye presence.
The Skin under these poisonous influence be-
comes an eruptYe volcano, exhibiting 10 the
eye the disgusting lava of disease, In the form OF
Salt, Rheum, Cancers, Ulcers, Fever Sores,
Pulrid Flesh, Kings Evil, and the most Fright
fiji EruptionS ofhie SKIN.
Radway's Renogallng Resolvent has cured
the most terrible of Skin Diseases and Humors

THIS man, IKE thousands OF other deiuded

Gmperors, four Kings, and one Queen, to be
l.uc.hcd ~ The fingers of Royalty, believing
that the hand, Of their "most sacred maJestles
would drive away the evil" The RenoVating
