Bows. Let Me Off.

A short time since 1t was my misfortune to fall
subject to mental Authorization, or, in other
words might say, to take spell of that fearful
arrangement denominated and vulgarly called
the big head. While under the influence of that
too common and yet most dangerous and malg-
nent of all human disorders, l conceived myself
to he loved by one of the sweetest of all CUuln-
bias angelic daughters; yea, / fancicd she was
taking on at considerable rate concerning me,
and would have given world like this to have
been the partner of such ms / supposed
myself to be. Indeed, / thought that all was
right, and l should have no difficulty in obtaining
her hand which thing l had fully determined on
doing rs soon aspracticabc. But, alas how sad
ly was disappointed when went cnrobod in the
very mautlcs of love to make my addresses and
found my notions all erroneous, and the lady to
whom my heart was beating, loved another and
cared for me not single picnyunc. o! horrible
thought and unwclcombe discovery! How long
shall mourn my grief to tell? Which way shall
fly and whittier shall goy The boys arc after
me to tell her name; they are iustiiablc. / prom
iscd would if they would tell me her age. This
they have done, but it was impru1ent in me to
make such promise. / did it without the con-
sideration of what might be the subsequent Ia
mcntablc consequences. L am in strait. If the
boys should push me what shall do / can not
tell her name-itis too much When shall learn
to be wise! Boys, let me of. do not believe
can solve your problem. l could have done it had
there been n few more women among those passen-
gers. But James Stephenson, one Of my students,
says he was at Little Hope when that coach ar
rived, and knows all about the matter. lie says
when the coach left Mt Harmony there were three
ladies and seven gentlemen, but when it got to Lit
tie Hope there were four ladies and ten gentlemen.
The fare of each lady was 81 LII shillings and
that of each gentleman was 10 3-17 shillngs.
James is n truthful man. and as clever as he cnn
be- think he is right. What say you Mr.. Mt
Harmony? LITTLE HOPE.

Ayers Ague Cure.

which ncu.ralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. AS it should, SO 1t does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And it docs more
rather does what is Of service to those sub.
ect to this infection. If taken in season II cxpel,
1t from the system 1t is absorbed and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease
Consequently 1t not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Eevers, Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Toothaehe, Esreche, Catarrh Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections of the Spleen Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels. all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This "AGus CuRE"
removes the cause Of these arrangements and cures
the disease.
This 1t accomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habted to do this
their office of their accord. Hence arises what
we term accliniatatiop. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt, while this AouE CuRB"
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is q surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic Infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it is cheap as well as good.
