OSgOOd'S India ChOlagOgue,

I should be distinctly understood that the Indian
Cholagogue is prepared expressly TO counterac 1hs
effects of the miasmal influence upon the human syt
tenn. tits equally effectua for the cure of bilious d.
seases of all kinds, liver complaint jaundice dyspeP.
sia the various forms Of indigestion, and such o1hf
affections arise from this morbid influence as for tho
fevers before enumerated. By bearing in mind The
object of the remedy none mistake its application
For ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, il Will
be found an invaluable remedy. In cases Of long
standing it should be continued several months. BY
perseverance it rarely fails ofreducng the organ tots
natural and healthy size. l
individuals travelling in miasmal dstric,s Of county
will find the remedy, taken in the usual doses thr
times day, to afford perfect protection against thu
ague and other diseases of the climate

sEnInan,s Love.

In the little rosewood casket,
Which is resting on the stand,
There's package OF old letters,
Penned BY cherished hand.
VIII you go and bring them, sister,
And read them DER tonight
| have often tried, but could not,
For the tears that dimmed my sight
Come up closer to me, sister,
Let me lean upon thy breast,
For my tide Of life is ebbing,
And I fain would be at rest.
Read the letters he has written
He whose voice I've often heard
Read them over, love, distinctly,
That lose not cen word.
Tell him, sister, when you see him,
That / never ceased to love;
That I, dying, prayed to meet him
In better home above:
Tell him I never upbraided,
Ne'er word of censnre spoke,
Though his silence and his absence
MY heart had well nigh broke.
Tell him watched his coming
When the noon-tide sun was high,
And " hen at eve the angels
Lit their star-lamps in the sky;
Tell him that | did not ehide,
But that ever loved him
That blessed him when died.
When in the graves white garments
You have wrapped nay form around,
And have laid me down TO slumber
In the quiet churchyard ground,
Place the picture and the letters
Close against my pulseless heart;
We for years have been together,
And in death we may not part.
j am ready now, dear sister;
You may read the letters Ger,
/ viii listen to the words Of him
Whom ] shall see no more;
And ere You shall have finished,
Should calmly fall asleep
Fall asleep in death-and wake not,
Gentle sister, do not weep.
