THE FISHERMANS'S CHILD.

On little, seaward shopping lawn,
The first bright half hour after dawn
With golden hair and cheeks as red
AS the hue in the frightening Orient spread,
The child and the light of the fisherman s home,
Bearing pail that dript its foam
Like snowfiakes on the wayside grass.
Went singing as if her soul would pass
Into the air, and o'ertake that bird
Which sang in the sky less seen than heard.

tice The Dr. has long since abandoned the mer
curia treatment, and has strictly followed the
Vegetable Practice. Patients under treatment
with him are not confined to the house, nor taken
from their business, but can 60 about and eat as
asual The Dr.'s mode of treatment in sases of
debility both general and sexual is not surpassed
by any physician and always results in perfect
removal of their troubles. DR.. Y. has discovered
a new mode Of treating affections Of the Liver,
which after fair trial has been submitted to the
Professors of several of the medical institutes OF
the States. and pronounced by them, as perfectly
successful, and has been adopted by them in their
practice. In the treatment of incpient cOnsump-
ton and diseases Of the blood, the Dr. stands pre-
eminent in his profession, and will warrant cure
in all cases. The following testimonial speakes
for itself.
DIR. J. C. YOUNG, Sir; Your mode of treat
ING affections of the Liver, and diseases Of the
Blood, has proved by repeated trials to be the
best yet afforded to the faculty, and has been
adopted by the board. Continue to study the
hnman system as you have done, and you will
yet stand at the head of your profession.
