00RE-At Georgetown Hospital, Oct. l4th. 1861
Of Typhoid Fever, Thomas s. Moore, of Tunkhan
Aock Township, Wyoming County, Pa
"One who in lfe where'er he mov'd
Drew after him the hearts of many;
Yet now, as though he ne er were loved,
Dies here, unseen, unwept by anyp'
Sad things are the south winds telling,
Low sobbing along the lea
October's gay charms disPcling.
Bearing blight to flower and tree.
They sigh for 5re of high bearing,
Noble brow, and eye of light;
Hi. Country's call nobIy needing,
Flo fastened to aid the right.
The fearful farewels had been spoken,
He had turned from his parents heart;
While his sisters with anguish heart broken,
Beheld their loved brother depart
But now he at last lay dying,
Not of wounds from the Held OF strife;
wasting disease seemed drying.
The fast ebbing fountain of life
Beside him with magical finger,
Stood fancy with memory's book
And DER each fair page bade him linger,
And on its fond ifaeery look.
He saw there his home by the mountain,
Beside it the fountain that burst;
And he thought how its fresh flowing water,
Would now queneh his deep-fever thirst.
There too, was couch with cool pillow,
for his tired limbs to press, 'twould DO joy;
The father who oft sends to heaven,
prayer for the wandering boy
Yet fingered not long the fair picture,
For calmly he yielded his breath;
And when the lone watcher bent DER him,
he smiled in the slumber of death.
God help the home-hearts in their anguish,
10 bear up meath tidings SO dread,
that have burst like thunder-bo on them,
The sbsent, the dying, the dead
Oh there Is q sorrow that scarneth.
Thee feeble expression Of tears;
That marketh times cordial and turnetb,
Undimed from the shadow of years.
Full many heart will be shaded,
With the mantle of grief for day;
But there are hearts in which arrows,
of grief, lilae canker shall prey.
Hearts in long after years beating.
40 tonight they are throbbing with pain;
And in dreams hear the footsteps 80 welcome,
That will never be coming again

Diseases Of the Liver.

You may always know when your liver is
out OF order, or when you are what is called
bilious, by any of the following symptoms -
pain in the side and back, dizzineis, dull head
ache a bad taste in the mouth in the morning
sallow colored complexion, yellowish tint in
the eyes, costiyeness, or dorrhoea of Shiny dark
color, low spirit and dismal forebodings. 1t is
acknowledged by all physicians and others
who have seen their action, that JUDSON'S
MOUNTAIN HERB PILLS are perfect cnre
for all bilious affections. So pleasantly do
they search out and drive away the seed OF
disease, that all persons living In n country
where Fever and Ague, and all other bilious
diseases are prevalent, will find they should
never be without them. From two to four Pills
each night on going to bed, will in short time
drive sway the sickly yellow look of bilious
persons, and bning to their checks beautiful
glow of perfect health.
Judson's Mountain Herb Pills aos sold by all
Dealers in Medicine.

eered by the men who defend the South
and denounce the government. We
make this charge on the evidence Of two
men who claim TO have belonged to such
a Society here, and who say that it has
its secret meetings. with its obligations Of
secrecy upon It's members, as to its acts
and It's existence. One man says he
continued member until the unqualified
expression of sympathy with the REBEL
ion, uttered by the leaders, Disguised him,
and he left
The orosced object of these Societies is
of course simply to produce thorough
organization of The Democratic party
Admitting this TO be the only intent,
what can be thought of men who SO rab
idly denounced secret organizations for
political purposes, during know Nothng
times, now engaging in the same acts :?
Where now is the DARK Lantern party"
and where are all the Ozark Lantern"
men? What has become Of all the
righteous indignation against "secret
political assassins," which these same
gentry used TO breathe forth =?
There can be no doubt that the Demo
cratic leaders intend straining every
nerve for success in the coming contest,
whether through open or secret efforts,
or through both. Their object is mainly
to carry the next Congress. If they can
do this, they can embarrass the admins
tration, and think they can enforce a
compromise, with such concession to the
South, as will bring that section back,
to vote, through interest and gratitude,
solid for their party, and elevate them
again to power. They will do their best
to save the traitors from punishment in
person and property, and will try TO
bring the DAvIsEs and the TooMBEs and
MAsoNs back to their lordly rule in the
National Councils. 1t is to this end that
secret and thorough organization OF the
party is going forward-it is this end
that the MAHoNYs and JoNEsEs are run
ming about the counlry-itis to this end
that the Vallandigham manifesto was put
forth, and it is to this end that the most
persistent efforts will be made to bring
back every Democrat into old party lines.
Let loyal Democrats be not deceived
The object Of the leaders of this move
ment is TO favor Southern traitors-to
grant them concession, and immunity
from punishment. Unless they desire
thus to aid and serve rebellion and trait.
ors, let them keep aloof from these men
and from their secret organizations.
