HoHoway'S Ointment and PiNs.-lm'
purilies of the blood are often developed
in disgusting erupllons, ulcers, tumors,
scrolulous sores, boils, and other eXter-
nal affections. For all these distressing
and dangerous complaints, Holloway's
Ointment is literally healing balsam. 1t
neutrslizes the materics mOrJi, or seeds
of diseases in the exterior secrelOns, and
dispels the Inflammation. Nature does
the rest. The experience of every hu-
man being who has tested the efficiency
of the Ointment is The same. 1t has never
failed. When the internal organs are a
lone affected, as in liver complaint, dys-
pepsis, and irregularities of the bowels, a
few doses of the Pills afford certain and
permanent relief.

Lines to my Father by Moonlight.
Yon fair moon glidcs through the midnight sky
And the dove has ceas'd its mournful cry:
An unearthly Guinness fills the air;
Stilrd is the harsl, voice of worldly care,
Sweet thoughts of thee, this pensive hour
brings.
And kind " ords steal by, on unseen winga
Shine on bright moon, with silvery light!
Give radiant beauty to the night!
Though birds have hushed their pIaiutive wall,
And the brcczes bear no gentle gale
The flowers are yet awake with me.
And we will deep homage pay to thee.
While n!l around is so fresh and fair,
Ill thank thee for all thy tender care;
Yes, Father, thou hnst loved HE well,
How much, God alone can ever tell.
>lsremember in the home of ours
Where grew beautiful trees and flowers,
My childish voice seem'd music to thee,
When you Joined my innocent gee;
But that home must hence in ashes lie
With few to loveit save you and II.
Fall softly, ye moonbeams. on the place,
