No injurious effects will be produced, shouiu

overdose will cause nausea and sometimes
vomiting, but will produce no other unpicas-

king dose that will rest well on the stomach.
The precise dose for each individual patient.

The PrairieS.

All DER those young and blooming States,
That grow 50 rapid in the West,
Where Fortune opens wide her gates
And thousands rush at her behest,
Arc spread those verdant plains that yield
To earnest toll rich supply.
The boundless pasture, fertile hcih,
Productive soil and smiling sky
"a hermitage 1t seems to me,
Designed expressly for the free.
Long ere the hardy emigrant
Had. wandering Westward, found home,
These prairies were the bisons' haunt,
Where unmolested. they could roam
The red deer. on the TALL sweet grass,
There fed and fattcned without fear
Rarely did indian hunter pass
With barb'd arrow or sharpened spear
A state of things, it seems to me,
Designed not always thus to be.
Fen now those plains are dotted DER
With fertile farms and happy homes !
The red deer fatteneth there no more,
The bison further Westward roams,
Where erst the Indian wigwams stood,
Now embryo towns and cities rise;
Whose churches. harbingers of good,
Point tapering spires toward the skies
Whose sacred wallis, it seems to me,
Will be a shield to guard the free.
How beautiful the prairies are!
In spring the green sward decked with flower:
That dot the green robes they wear
r. summer; and for autumn hours
A russell dress thrown over all.
Ius autumn winds bring sweeping fires
Rat rage, as waves that rise and fall,

HUMOROUS MIsrAKEs.-The humors of
the telegraph are very amusing. A
year or two since, the agents of the
Delaware and Hudson Freighting
Line at Honesdale, Pennsylvania,
sent the following dispatch to the
agent at New York:
d. Horton. Dear Sir: please send
me shipping book for eighteen forty
nine."
The dispatch, as received, read as
follows:
d. Horton. "Please send me ship
ping box eighteen feet by nine." 49,,
Tie other might have been more
disasterous in it's results /; the same
parties were concerned. Mr.. Horton
wrote the proprietor of the line that
he had been subpenad on trial to
be held in the Supreme Court of New
York and that as navigation was about
to open it would be necessary to send
man to perform his Office duties.
The following reply was entrusted to
the tender care of the telegraph wire !:
"See the Judge at once and get ex-
cused. ! cannot send man in your
place"
The dispatch, as received, read as
follows:
"See the Judge at once and get
executed l can send q man in your
place" u
He claims on the margin Of the dis.
patch stay of execution.
Not long since q gentleman tele.
graphed to friend at Cleveland al
Interesting family affair, as follows
Sarah and little one doing WELL"
| The telegraph reached its destina
ton, when it read thus:
Sarah and litter all doing WELL"
The recipient telegraphed back tn,
following startling query:
"For heavens sake, how many ha.
she got!"
At another time a gentleman sent :
dispatch to business friend To cal
upon third party in relation to som.
commercial transaction. His dispatch
was intended to read thus:
Call at the Post Office and SET
Mygatt"
The recipients message read:
"Call at the Post Office and see my
gal"
Not even experimenting the mistake,
the recipient called at the Post Office
and inquired if there was a young
lady there, and only discovered the
error after being well laughed at.
