LURA META BoYNGToN. daughter of VIM. and

The Angel of Death has rode by on the blast,
And the mourners eep over the dead;

And her spirit forever had fled.
saw thee, pale sufferer, when sickness and
pain
Were fearfully working thy doom;
| saw the destroyer had seized on thy frame,
And knew thou vert ripe for the tomb.
saw thee, when placed in the coffin of rest.
And loved ones were weeping around,
Thy repose seemed as calm as the sleep of the
beSt
And thy lips murmured forth not a sound
Pale, pale is.thy cheek, where the warm blood
once flowed,
And cold as the marble thy brow,
But thy spirit has fed to the blssful abode
And thy parents do mourn for thee now.
Still, still is that bosom that heayed with thy
breath,
And closed are thy eyes from the light;
Thy voice, still remembered, is silent in death,
And gone with thy smile once so bright.
O'er thy narrow abode the fresh earth has
arose,
And the grass DER thy dwelling shall wave,
Yet how blcst and kow sweet is thy tranquil
repoSe
In thy long peaceful sleep of the grave.
But thy spirit has gone to its home in tie skies
Where no signing nor sorrow has birth,
And thou would'st not return from thy man
sions on high
To dwell with the loved ones on earth.

The other day, young friend of ours,
noted for his ready expression of dry and
sarcastic jokes, was, with another young
man, drawing a light wagon with some
boards on it along Main street, when a
merchant, standing on his store steps,
said to him, "Thcre goes a good span of
mules !" Ors. without looking round,
sand to a person passing on the sidewalk,
in tone of voice that S. could hear ca
.ay, "How natural it is for jackass to
bray at every mule he sees !" S. retired
behind his counter, no doubt satisfied
with his experiment at catching Tartar.

OF this series of Domestic Remedies is that
each particular medicine is a SPECIFIC for the
particular disease or class Of diseases whose
name it bears, and may be relied upon for the
cure Of that particular affection. Hence, per-
sons suffering from a chronic disease or long
standing ailment in buying case of HUMPH-
REYs' SPECIFICS, obtain the particular one de-
sired in their case, and thus themselves make
a cure which otherwise would cost them many
dollars, and no small amount of time and medi-
cal attendance, if indeed it could be obtained
at all.

bleeding and blind, is one of those common
and obstinate forms of disease which are so
difficult to cure on the ordinary methods, but
which find an entire and fundamental cure
in the Piles Specific. True, time is required /;
but the Specific is pleasant to take, requires
neither diet nor restraint and being followed
up perfect cure is the result. Hundreds of
persons, in purchasing case of Specifics,
have obtained cure for this most trying and
obstinate form of disease, which has been
worth to them ten times the cost of the entire
set Cases of over twenty years standing
have been cured with this simple Specific, and
we believe al may be cured by perseverance.
The case contains the best
FEVER AND AGUE SPECIFIC
known. A remedy without any deleterious
or poisonous substances, which not only cures
the ague, and old, mismanaged agues, but
may be relied upon as a preventative when
persons are residing in a fever and ague dis
trct. 1t prevents or protects upon the same
principle that vaccination prevents smallpox
or belladonna prevents scarlet fever, by pre-
occupying the system with true Specific.
Hundreds have been thus protected and cured.

averred without the possibility of successful
contradiction, that the DySentery Pills are the
most perfect Specific for that disease known.

Simple free from intricacy, technicality, or
