GOOD MEDICINES.

1t is estimated that ayers fherry Peciordl &.
Cathartic Pills have done more to promote the
pubic health than any other one cause. There
can be no question that the Cherry Pectoral has
by Its thousands on thousands cures OF Colds
Coughs, Asthma, Group, Influenza, Bronchitis
&c., very much reduced the proportion of deaths
from cobsumptve diseases in this country The
PITS are as good as the Pectoral and will cure
more complaints.
Everybody needs more or less purrinp Purge
the blood from its impurities. Purge the bowels,
Liver, and the whole visceIal system from oh.
tructions. Purge out the diseases which fasten
on the body to work its decay. Take antidoies
early and thrust it from the system, before il is
yet too strong to yield.
Ayers Pills do thrust out disease, not only
while it is weak but when II has taken a strong
hold. Read the astounding statements of those
who have been cured by them from dreadful
Scro'nla, DrOpsy, Ulcers, Skin diseases, Rheu-
inatism, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia, Internal pains

ailments, such as Pimplcs on the Face Worms,

She who sleeps upon my heart
Was the Grst to win it;
She who dreams upon my breast
Ever reigns within it.
She who kisses oft my lips,
Wakes their warmcst blessing;
She who rests within my arms
Feels their closest pressing.
Other days than these shall come,
Days that may be drcary-
Other hours shall greet us yet,
Hours that may be weary.
Still this heart shall be my throne,
Still this breast shall be thy pillow;
Still these lips shall meet thine oft
AS billow mcctcth billow.
Sleep, then, on my happy heart,
Since thy love hath won it
Dream, then, on my loyal breast,

And when age our bloom shall change,

May we in the self same grave,
Sleep and dream together.

A BEAUTIFUL ExrRAcr-Thcrc lies in the
depths Of every heart that dream of our youth,
and the chastencd wish Of manhood, which
neither cares nor honors can ever cXtinguish,
the hope Of one day resting from the pursuits
which absorb us, Of intcrposing between oul
old age and the tomb, some tranquil interval
of reflection, when with feelings not subducd
but softcncd, with passion not exhausted, but
mellowed, we may look calmly on the past with
out regret and on the future without appre
hension. But in the tumult Of the world, this
vision forever recedes as we approach it; the
passions which have agitatcd our life disturb
our latest hours; and we go down to the tomb
like the sun in the ocean, with no gentle and
gradual source which gave it, but sulcn in it
beamless descent, with all its fiery glow, Ions
after,it has lost its power and splendor.

The GREAT ELEvAroR.-A Southern gentle
man, at Northern Hotel, perceving that tho
dining room servant, negro, was bcstowing
his attentions elsewhere, to his own neglect,
called up John, aad accosted him in this wise?
"John, have servants at home, and am
waited Oh as gentleman should be. am
neglected here, and am tired of it. I give you
fair notice, that will whip You like dog,
unless you behave better
The consequence was, that John became yc
ny attentive during the few days that the gen
teman remained On going away John was
called up and presented with dollar or two
which he thus acknowledged:
"Thank-ce, massa. Southern gentlemen al
ways so--lck us like blazes if we don't wait OF
'em well, but when dey 60, dey alters glib us
dollar or two. Now, desc Abolition gemmcl

THE Two SExEs--Whcn rakish youth goes
astray, friends gather round him in order to
restore him to the path of virtue. Gentlcness
and kindness are lavished upon him to win him
back again to innocence and peace. No one
wond suspect that he had ever sinned. But
when poor conliding girl is betrayed, she re-
ceives the brand of society and is hcnccforth
driven from. the ways of virtue. The bctraycr
is honored, respected, and esteemed; but his
ruined, heart broken victim, knows there is no
peace for her this side of the grave. Society
has no helping hand for her, no smile of peace,
no voice Of forgiveness. These are earthly
moraities; they are unknown in heaven,-
There is deep wrong in them, and fearful arc
