Charge Of the TIGHT Brigade.

At the bar, at the bar,
At the bar Numbered,
Thundered with iiercer din,
Topers one hundred.
There stood those thirsty men,
Thirsty one hundred.
Calling for drinks in vain,
The bar keeper slumbered;
Hank there sound from one.
List, now the curses come
From each and every one
Of the dry one hundred.
Into the bar they pitch,
Noble old topers,
For up comes an order which
Pleased those old soakers;
" Forward the Tight Brigade
Take the bar Muggins said,
Into 1t undismayed,
Pitched now each drunken blade
Pitched the one hundred.
Forward the Tight Brigade !"
Gods, what charge they made
Nomen were afraid;
No person Numbered.
Theirs but to drink their fill,
Theirs not to pay their bill.
All yes, they knew it well
Knowing one hundred
Bottle to right of them,
Bottle to lett of them
Labeled and numbered;
Nobly they fought and well,
There many hero fell.
Covered with blood and beer,
Beer that they loved so well,
Gallant one hundred
Raised now each nose in air,
See what is under there,
Mugs charged with lager beer
All the world wondered -
Fiercer the revel grows,
Redder each bleeding nose,
Faster the liquor flows,
Under the table goes.
Half the one hundred
Bottle to right OF them,
Bottle to left of them,
Bottle all around them.
Emptied and sundered.
Dat from that dreadful room,
Out from that dark saloon,
Came forth a heery fume.
Came forth dismal moan.
But none of the hundred
When they awoke again,
oh. how their heads did pain
No person wondered.
Honor to the Tight Brigade.
Honor to the charge they made,
Thirsty one hundred

ITCH OINTMENT.

4 SAFE, convenient and ctlicacious ROM
n edy for that most disagreeablc and tor
menting disorder-the ITCH-has been
always greatly needed but no one, it il
presumed, has before been discovered which
will certainly effect a cure without having
ingredients in it both disagree cable and dan
| gerous. Those that have attempted its cure
with birthstone, have generally applied it
with a mixture of hogs fat, or lard, worn for
several days, OF dried in by the fire, either of
which exposes the patient to the most immi-
nent danger of taking cold, by opening the
| pores OF the body, and at the same time
impregnating the blood with poisonous
quality, and weakening and facilitating the
| whole constitution; others have used oin.-
ments which have either proved dangerous
to health, or insufficient to effect Il cure.
| But this will as certainly cure the ITCH
as it is applied it is easy and safe for any
| age, habit or constitution, and attended with
no dlsagreeable consequences Of any kind,
either at the time OF using it, or at any time
after, as can be proved BY thousands of peo-
pie OF different ages, constitutions and states
Of health, who have used this ointment, and
have been cured by it.
No family ought to be without this yalua-
bic medicine for, on the first appearance of
| this disorder, on the wrists and betwixt the
fingers. &c, slight application Of this Oint-
ment will cure it, and prevent its progress,
and likewise its being taken by others. II
may also be used as a prev ontive, by touch
ing the hands or the inside of the gloves once
in Il while with little Off when there is O
suspicion that the disorder is prevalent, and
there is danger Of taking it. For which rea-
son no people abroad on business, no student,
traveller, soldier or sailor, should be without
| this Ointment, which is neatly put up in tin
boxes, convenient to carry, agreeable in its
smell, and will last good for long time. By
this precaution, neighborhoods, societies and
schools might be freed from this tormenting
disorder. Should the patient have any
other eruption or breaking ont, which no
mistakes for the itch an application of this
Ointment will do no narm, but often cures
the common breaking out, which arises from
sharp, hot humor in the blood, and leaves
smooth polish on the skin
| There have been many Ointments offered
to the public, for the cue of the IrcH, but
| this valuable medicine bears no analogy to
them in its materials, use, or effects they
being generally made up of grease, brim-
stone, tar, mercury, spirits Of turpentinc,
salt peter, and such like disagreeablc mater
as, which are loathsome to use, and unsafe
and uncertain in all their effects.
