An Invocation by the Sea.
pY HENRY MoRFoRD.

Bent on the white beach, restless sea,
With silver fash and thunderius roar;
Type US the mighty and tho free,
And let our duh lives rust no more.
Cool from the brain its fever heat:
Rouse up our pulses sinking low;
The Eternal walks thee with his feet
As once, two thousand years ago.
Our aims are narrowed to thread:
Our truth 10 dWindled to spark
Our better lives are dLll and dead:
Oar hope of heaven is faint and DARK
Along tho hot and dusty ways
There springs NO great thought in the soul.
Raise us, oh sea, above our days!
Thy surf some blessing onward roll!
The bar1ues we freighted years ago
With hopes that deepest burn and thrill
Come back, oh God, how sad aud slow
wo'ro watching, waiting, hoping sti /!
No, no all cannot foundered 10
Some must come back, though long we wait,
Give us some token yet, oh sea-
Some hopeful token of their late.
Bring us some glory in thy spray,
From all the boards Of gems and gold
For ages cropped and stored away
The wrecks Of nayies new and OldI
Flash I'D some seeling through thy or'ne'
From all ear this nOblest and her best-
From all the energies divine
Whose grave has been within Thy breas''
Thou answerest not, eternal sea!
Thy wave is voiceiess to our ears5
Unless thy moan an answer be
That ceaselels moan Of all Times years.
Thy thunder may be sybil speech
To those who hear with reverent ave.
And every wave some lore may teach
To those who we'll tie lesson draw.
Beat on our hearts thy thunder tone,
And .tartle US from pleasures sleep'
Break up the stagnaEt dullness grown
Arou ad us-till we smile and weep!
Live US with kisses that no more
From mothers lips our own may bear:
Sound anthems from the Better shore
That vet, perhaps, may call us there!

To Physicians.

Having lately very largely increased my stock, ]
wish to commend it to the especial notice of those
practitioners who are in the habit of sending to
distant markets for their drugs from difficulty Of
finding all they wish here, or greater cheapness.-
My assortment is now unusually complete, embrac-
ing many articles, whose unfrequent demands
makes them seldom to be met with except in large
cities both Botanic and Alopathic preparations, and
also stock of instruments of much greater extent
and variety than heretofore kept in this Market
And satisfied as am, from the exercise of more
trouble and pains in the purchase of my goods, than
buyers are generally willing to encounter that
have bought my stock unusually low, mean it as
no empty advertising lure, when say that can
compete with any market this side of the Eastern
ones and will undertake to do so.
