ONE LESS


Silent we stood by the window,
Watching the twilight fall,
Till the cool gray shadows of evening,
Had gathered over all
A nd row the lamp had been lighted,
And the fire burns warmly and bright,
How sadly our thoughts still wander
Without to the cold dark night.
There are children playing around us,
As in many by gone year,
Bu! a little voice is missing,
Which we never more shall hear.
The parlor is warm and lishtsome,
But without, how the night winds rave!
And we think of the darkness falling
Round little, lonely grave.

HERB.-We have heard, Of late, a
good deal Of first rate Republican
thunder 10 Congress about negro
burning, off South, for political effect.
But what do our Republican Legisla-
ture. at Albany, propose 10 do to
free US from the periodical burning up
Of white men, white women, and
white children, right here in New
York? That is the question?
The recent calamity in Elm street
by fire. and the hotrid tragedy of
Tuesday night last, in Forty-ffth
street. in which ten buman beings.
mostly children, perished. We should
tbink quite sufficient to rouse up
our public servants to a sense of
their duty, and secure. through their
immediate action, law providing a..
gainst repetition of scenes SO fright
iul. Do not the facts elected on
the post mortem examination--with-
out any other appeal to their sympa-
thy and justice-demand some con-
sideration at their hands? or, are they
SO irretrieyAbly committed TO the '.po-
Iltical machine that they cannot be
persuaded TO withdraw their atten-
ton from lis workings 10 perform an
act Of sacred duty7 1t woplG be !
we'll for these demagogues, who have
this same political vehicle in charge,
10 remember that it is the poor MAJ

,rease for its safe and easy running.
As matter Of self-iDterest, there
ore--if nothing else-the lives Of
'eople who live 10 tenement houses
nay be worth saving.
And what was the testimony Of
he agent of the house in Forty -ffhI
treet? Why, that be had time and
gain suggested to its owner the pro
we'll as the necessity y--of
ladder. to provide against just such
Calamity as befel its unhappy IN
mates, and that the owner refused to
Xpend the enormous sum of seUen-
u fve ctntS for the humane purpose:
lie preferred to risk the roasting of
is tenants alive, to so tnaing an
ovestment for their safety.
A New York member of Congress,
'e repeat, few days since, charged!
the South with roasting their ne

Sitting in my humble doorway,
Gazing out into the night,
Listening to the stormy tumult
With kind of sad delight
Wait l for the loved who comes not,
One whose steps l long to hear;
One who, though he fingers from me,
Still is dearest of the dear.
Soft, he comes-now, heart, be quiet
Leaping in triumphant pride,
Oh! it is stranger footstep,
Gone by on the other side.
All the night filed with weeping,
Winds are wailing mournfully;
And the rain-tears together
Journey to the restless sea.

As they with your waters flow;
Like the griefS ofsinglc beings,
Making up nations woe.
Branches, bid your guests be silent;
Hush moment, fretful rain;
Breeze, stop sighing--let me listen,
God grant not again in vain.
In my cheek the blood is rosy,
Like the bushes of bride,
Joyl alas! a stranger footstep
Goes by on the other side.
All! how many wait forever,
For the steps that do not come!
Wait until the plying angels
Bear them to peaceful homei
Many in the still of midnight
In the streets have lain and died,
While the sound of human footsteps
Went by on the other side.

Ague Cure,

brc ron THE SPEEDY CURE or
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class Of diseases origi.
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than a sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that It will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, thst
no harm can arise from its use in any Quans
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention Il
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks OF
this baleful distemper. This "CURE" expels
the miasinatic poison of FEVER AND AGUH
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It i
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also tho
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AGUE prevails, every body should have 10
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and cer-
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro:
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Agucis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in.
fection, that will be excreted from the SYSTEM,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-
fords.

SWlFT'S DRUG STORE.
N E w A e R A N G E MENT,

CHARLES E. SWIFT having become
" sole proprietor of the establishment long known
as "SWit's Drug Store,' at the sign of the Golden
Mortar, wishes TO inform the iormer patrons of the
concern, and as many new ones are disposed 10
iaVor him with their custom, that he intends keeping
Coloring Materials, Glass, Patent Medicines, Per,
fumery, &c. And in order to correct misapprehen.
sion existing in the minds of many, that the Drug
Store Is to be visited only for the purpose of purchas
ing box ofps or barrel of oil, he desires to call
particular attention to the fact that besides general
assortment OF those articles usually considered as
belonging 10 the Drug trade, he designskeeping q
great variety ofsuch as are needed in every we'll sup
piled family, including superior article of Fifty
Cent Tea, Black Cocoa, Rio Coffee, White Sugars,
Pepper Spices of every description, Prime Rio Cof:
fee Kalsns, Currants, Pruncs, Flavoring Extracts,
Starch, Sago Corn Starch Farina, Baking Pow ders,
Cream Tartar, &c. AS the Dollar and Dime princi-
pie is the cnly one by which people are supposed
to be governed in matters of trade and everybody
expects to make their purchases where the largesl
amount OF goods can be obtained for the least money,
he confidently expects a large share of patronage.
