4 Few Short Years---and Then

y few short years-and then
The dream of life will be
Like shadows of morning cloud,
In its reality!
\ few short years-and then
The idols loved the best
VIII pass in all their pride away,
As sinks the sun to rest!
\ few short years-and then
Our young hearts may be reft
OF ev'ry hope, and find no CLEAN
OF childhood's sunshine left
y few short years and then,
Impatient of its bliss,
The weary soul shall seek on high
\ better home than this!

TURPfE NAILED TO THE COUNTER
At Dover Hill, on Tuesday, Turpie
said that the act Of the Legislature Of
Virginia cedinglthe Northwest terri
tory to the Congress of the confedera-
ton. required Congress toprohibit sla-
very therein as one of the conditions
Of the grant. Judge Morton in reply,
denied the statement and referred to
the Virginia act in the first vol. of Re-
vised Statutes, TO show there was no
such condition in it. In the debate at
this place on Thursday, Turpie made
the statement that Virginia attached
such a condition to the session, but
that it was contained in the deed made
by the Commissioners conveying the
territory and not in the act of cession.
Morton In reply, and greatly to Tur-
pies establishment, suddenly produced
a copy of the deed from the library Of
Judge Ellis, and read it to the crowd,
showing that there was no such con-
dition in it. Turpie's modification
was extreme, and there was not man
of any party present who did not feel
for him. He stood absolutely convict
ed of mean falsehood, which he had
invented to break the force of an argu-
ment he could not answer. The per-
spiration stood on his brow, and if he
felt as mean as he looked his agony
must have been intense. The sudden
production of document, which he
supposed could not be found nearer
than the State Library, at Indianapo-
lis. furnishing overwhelming evidence
of his falsehood, from which there was
no escape, covered him and his friends
with shame. Let all such base metal
be tried by the fire of Truth and it
will be consumed; or let it be nailed to
the counter to deter all would be boz
gus political coiners. Hn. Gazette.

Iron as n Medical Kennedy.

The coloring matter ofthe blood comes
from the Iron therein, which cannot be di-
minished below a certain quantity with

feet nutrition of the different organs. In
such cases the fact is apparent by general
paleness, weak circulation, impaired
breathing. cold extremites, DC.
1t may be asked, from what is the blood
deriyedf We answer, principally from the
food. But if the food is not properly di
gested, there can be no healthy blood, and
consequently no adequate nutrition of the
body. The bad blood will irritate the
heart, clog up the lungs. Supply the brain,
obstruct the liver, and cause arrangement
everywhere. The feeble girl will suffer
from chlorosis aud menstrual Irregular
ties, the adult from dyspepsia, neuralgia,
and headaches; many will suffer from bOils
and skin diseases; the bilious from infia
med liver, dropsy and constipation; and
the care worn professional man from every
i'll in Pandora's box Now, it is certain
that if the deficient amount of iron in the
blood can be supplied, the symptoms of
disease will consequently cease.
Chemistry proves that the only form in
which iron can assimilare with the blood
IS that ola protoxyde, a salt very liable to
further oxidation; when it becomes neaaly
inert in the stomach.

first time overcome; and this assertion il
amply sustained by tie distinguished
Chemist and Assayer to the State of Mass

to the Materia Medica, and an invaluable
remedy for many of the worst forms of dis
ease.

passage occurs.
There is no Democratic party now

four years longer than il had a right
to live. by the generous zeal and at
tachment of the Irish born citizens
of the Northern States, who love it fol
the traditions and associations of Wig

ger to belong to party that is dead
and gone the sole having gone out Of
it and the body tori: from limb to limb
If l had any credit with my fellow

seek new combinations-to insolate
themselves no longer as the Irish
vote, to merge in the several organiza
