TO MY COAT.
ONE OF BERANGER's BEST SONGS.

SNE VT bEhANGEh BEST SONGS,
Though hardly worth one paltry groat.
Thou'rt dear to me, my poor old coat;
For full ten years my friend thon'st been
For full ten years I've brushed thee clean;
And now, like me, thou'rt old and wan,
With BOTH the glow of youth is gone;
But, wan and shabby as thou art,
Thou and the poet shall not part
Poor coat.
I've not forgot.the birthday eve
When first donned thy glossy sleeve,
When joyial friends, in mantling wine,
Drank joy and health to me aud mine.
Our indiGence let some despise,
We're dear as ever in their eyes;
And for their sakes, old as thou art,
Thou aud thee poet shall not part
Poor coat.
One evening. remember yet,
|, romping feigned to fly LiSette;
She stroye her lover to retain,
And thy frail skirt was rent in twain:
Dear gid she did her best endeavor,
And patched thee up as well as ever;
And for her sake, old as thou art,
Thou and the poet shall not part
Poor coat.
Never, my coat, hast thou been found
Bending thy shoulders to the ground,
From any upstart Lord or Grace
To beg pension. or a place.
Wild foIest fowers-no Monarchs dole
Adorn thy modest button hole:
II but for that, old as thou art,
Thou and the poet should not part
Poor coat.
Poor though We be, my 60" A old friend.
No good shall bribe our backs to bend;
Honest amid temptations past,
We will be honest to the last;
Far more prize thy virtuous rags
Than all the lace a courtier bags;
And while live aud have heart,
Thou and the poet shall not part
Poor coat.

HEALTH OF AMERICAN WOMEN.

Female Irregularities, weakness, uterine displace
nents, and all local uterine difficulties and constitu
tional troubles of women are entirely cured by the
Grefenberg Marshals Uterine Ca:holicon.
In this connection, Miss Beecher, sister Of the
Rev. Henry Ward Deecher, in Letters to the People,
page ls9, says:
aiIing. Amid the immense circle Of my friends and
acquaintance, i cannot recall ten married ladies'
born in this century and country, who are perfectly
healthy"
In cases, however. where the Grafenberg Catholi-
con has been used, We must say that health has ra:-
idly taken the place of disease, and ladies' have be
come robust, strong, vigorous and healthy.
Mrs Gleason. Of Elinira, says: beautiful, Indeed,
is the c~onfding trusting nature Of woman. nut how
much does it need to be protected by a waIehfulness
that viii lead her in time Of disease to appeal to a
medical adviser Of scientific education, moral worth
and purity Of character"
All these may be occurred by addressing the Graf
enbsrg Company.
I am a Methodist clergyman. Ny heart has fairly
aehed to witness the feeble health Of women as l
have ira veled my circuit preaching the gospel L
thank God, hswever, that I have seen all these dis
eases give way TO the Grefenberg Marshels Uterine
Catholicon, wherever it has been used.
