THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN

Across the dull and broodins night
A giant flies with demon light
And breath Of Wreathing smoke;
Around him whirl. the reeiing plain,
And with a dash of grim disdain,
He cleayes the sundered rock.
In lonely sxsmps the low wind stirs
The belt OF black funeral mrs,
That marmur in the sky,
Till, startled by his mad career,
They seem to keep hush, Of fear
As if a God swept by!
Through many adark wild heart Of heath,
Ger blooming bridges, where beneath
A midnight river bravt;
By ruins, remnants of the past,
Their iYies trembling in the blast,
BY singing waterfalls!
The slumb'rer on his silent bed
Turns to the light his lonely head,
DiTested Of has dream,
Long leagues Of gloom are hurled Ger,
Through tunRel-sheaths, with iron roar,
And shrill night-rending scream.
Past budding huts, past flying farms,
High furnace flames, whose crimson arms
are graphing with the night,
He tears along receding lands,
To where the kingly city stands,
Wrspt in robe of light.
Here, round each vide and gushing gate,
A crowd Of eager faces wait,
And every sniie is known.
We thank thee, U thou Titan train,
That in the city once again,
We clasp our loved, our oKni

nR. S. GILBERT, after many years expert
~ encc, is of opinion there is not an liberated
womb that he cannot cure, if he has fair trial.
No man in the nation has had more experience for
the last 20 years than he has, and perhaps no man
has had more success. There is not State in
the Union that he cannot show living witnesses of
his skill. He has a partner in London, an eminent
regular Physician, with whom he is in constant
communication, and all the new remedies discov-
cred, he receives.
Hundreds of females, who are altogether durable
if taken in time suffer the disease to go until it
becomes cancerous, after which, in most cases. life
is burden, and death is the only relief. His In
Urinary is new and weIl-furnished his table is as
good as any in the country. He has also negro
infrmary. He has never failed to restore sup
pressed menstruation. He also treats diseases of
the skin, and ulcerous affections Of every grade

will cure Rheumatism and all mercurial diseases
