Dear Sirs: l was induced, by friend of mine,
to try Hampton's Vegetable Tincture for Dyspep-
STA, with which am afflicted in its most aggravated
and distressing form. l purchased and used one
bottle, and it entirely cured me. l have induced
others to try it, most of whom, if not all, speak
highly oft; and would say to those who have
Dyspepsia, if they will use Hampton's Vegetable
Tincture, it will certainly cure them.

B, AyEoporg OF AN AMERICAN MINISTER Tho
following incident occurred to one OF the Amer
lean Ministers sent out two years ago by Mr..
Pierce, to represent the United States abroad-
It was related to me only lately, by an attache,
who was an eye and ear-witness of it..
The minister, soon after his arrival at the
court to which he was appointed, was invited
to o diplomatic soiree At these soirees, no mat
ter in what part Of Europe, the language OF eti-
ouette is the French But our minister knew
but few words of that language, and as English
is little spok en-, he found hmselfin very awk-
ward position. The arrival of the English min
ister naturally gave him great relief; but as this
gentleman could not spend the whole evening
with him. he was soon obliged to excuse him.
self and leave our minister again to his embar-
rassment. AS he was leaving, however ne
suddenly turned round, on perceiying the Count
B.. minister from -, and said to the Ameri-
can minister, "Oh, there is Count B., who speaks
English!" - t. -
This was god-send for the gentleman in b
dilemma, who Immediately begged to be pre-
sented. and who was in moment in converse
ton with the gentleman who spoke his mother
and only tongue. The motive of the introduce
tion not being undertood by Count B., the con-
yersation commenced and terminated as follows /:

PLEAsuRE.-Blessed be the hand that prepares
pleasure for child for there is no saying
when and where it may again, bloom FORTH
Does not almost every body remember some
kind-hearted man who showed him kindness
in the quiet days of his childhood The writer
of this, recollects himself at this moment as
bare-footed lad, standing at the. wooden fence of
a poor little garden in his native village; with
longing eyes he gazed on the flowers that were
blooming there quietly in the brightness of
Sunday morning The possessor came forth
from his little cottage-he was wood-cutter
by trade-and spent the whole week at his work
in the woods,-he has come into his garden to
gather flowers to stick in his coat when he went
to church. lie saw the boy, and breaking off
the most beautiful of his carnations it was
streaked with red and white-gave it to him.
Neither spoke word and with bounding steps
the boy ran home and now, here at vast dis
lance from that home, after so many events Of
so many years, the feeling of gratitude which
agitated the breast Of that boy, expresses itself
on paper. The carnation has long since wither-
| ed, but it now blooms fresh.-Douglas Jsrrold.

POETRY. .
The Meadow Gate.

BY CHARLES SWAIN.
The blue-bell peeps beneath the fern,
The moor its purple blossom yields,
,Tis worth full six days work to earn
A ramble mid the woods and fields.
There is an hour to silence dear,
An hour for which king might wait;
1t is to meet, when no ones near,
My Mary by the meadow gate.
When love inspires the linnefs breast,
How swift he speeds from spray to spray,
His song is of his woodland nest,
Far hidden from the peep Of day.
Would such nest were my sweet lot!
Would might be some dear ones mate!
I'd ask, to share my lowly cot,
Ny Mary by the meadow gate.
There is a tide the streamlet seeks,
A full mile from its course it veers,
And into silvery music breaks
When from the vale the sea appears.
Oh twenty miles my eager feet
Would wander long and linger late,
One happy moment but to meet
My Mary BY the meadow gate.

And then the bay, you seek the sea,

And then the bay, you seek the sea,
Forever gone and lost to me.
Now friends and school-mates, ere we part,
Let us here exchange the heart;
We've lived, and loved each other true,
In all sports and studies too;
The tsnpins, marbles, stills and ball,
And stream and shade are lovely all.
This pleasant grove of love and plsys,
These golden hours of childhood days,
Will bloom in fresh perennial bays
J. As time rolls on.
Farewell, old friends of mirth and cheer,
Farewell, sweet scenes to memory dear,
Yet grateful thought will linger here
When we are gone.
