ANGRY WORDS.

Poison drops of care and sorrow,
Bitter poison drops arei they;t
Weaving for the coming morrow,
Sad memorials of to-day.
Angry words, o, Let them never
From the tongue forbidden slip;
May the hearts best impulse ever
Check them ere they soil the lip.

PERsoNAE.--Passing along the street the other

Get accents, we looked suddenly around, nothing
doubling, TO behold a seraph "new lighted" from
the skiss As our glance fell upon the angelic
features OF the speaker, we felt for moment con-
WINGED that celestial being stood before u.s.
Again Il spoke, and we rushed to the arms Of our
long absent friend, G. G. Breed, ESQ, whilom on
a tour to the North. A cheek roseate as the blush
ing dawn. an eye sparkling its pearly dews, a
smile bright as its golden radiance, and step elas
tic as its bounding tread spoke. as fancied, of
fonder caresses than those Of the zepbyrs, and Of
happiness that gave more lustre TO the eye, more
smiles 10 the lip and fresher vgor 10 the step than
the charms of travel. "Where is she?'' we ex-
claimed, after the first cordial pressure of the
hand, ''show her 10 us now, mnlediatey"-and
we took him by the arm expecting 10 be led forth
with into the presence Of the fair magician who
had wrought this marvellous transformation in
our friend Willing 10 humor our surmise, he
red Us TO her room. when, instead Of finding the
divinity we expected, we saw what he called "di-
vine afflatus" lie applied his lips TO this with
such passionate fervor, that at once un-
deceived in our conjecture Of different source of
his improved appearance. Under the inspiring
glow produced by the alliance with said "afilatus"
he gave US such eloquent descriptions of travel,
that we importuned him 10 embody them in the
shape Of lecture, aud deliver it to the Literary
Association, of which he Is member. Though
he did not consent, we think We can yet prevail
upon him to do SO,

that although nature cannot be forced, she can be
assisted, This is peculiarly the in all those

move the deposit of lymph and blood, and an inn
mediate cure is effected. Bragg Attic Liniment
is for sale by all respectable Druggists throughout

Professor Haskell's Electric Oil. 1t is undoubt.
