Capt. Kidd on the Island of Perrin

This little island, Of so much i'm
portsnce now in European diplomacy
is thus alluded to in a small volume
called Notes of Travel, published at
Salem in 1854:
Having been drifted about by
light winds, it was not until the third
morning after leaving Alden that we
passed Bab-Ol-Mandeb Peak, rearing
its lofty summit Of black, crumbling
rocks eight hundred feet above our
heads, and entered BSb.sl-Mandeb
Strait, or the gate ofMourning. We
passed through the narrow strait
which is about a mile and a. fourth
wide between Bab-sl-Mandeb Peak
and Perrin Island. It is we'll remOm-
bered that Capt. Kidd, who, in 1897,
sailed from New York in the Advon-
lures gally, in search Of Buccaneers,
near here he captured rich Queaah
merchantmen. He landed upon this
island, and who knows but the long
nought-after buried treasures Of the
daring buccanser may yet be unearth-

Oh, Father in dutiful

And misty hopes,

On all the slopes
Her spirit fed--HOmeward gone
We, her friends are left to mourn.
Sadly now does flow the tear,
For the one we held so dear
Slowly to the tomb,
Her form we bear,
In Earth's quick'ning womb
We lay it fair;
Soon we hope again to rise

TO some it may seem incredulous that so

points to the fact, that the salye is combina

plying perfect antidote to its opposite dis

Dalley's Magical Pain Extractor
In its effects is magical, because the time is
so short between disease and a permanent
cure; and it is an extractor, as it draws all
disease out of the affected part, leaving ma

scarcely necessary to say that no house, work
shop, or manufactury should be one moment
without it.
