Saturday Morning, July 90, 1866.

We'welcome the return of our excellent
Mayor. James q Gibbes, Esq, from
his public mission to Washington. on the
part of the people of Richlard District

Columbia. He has performed his mission
with propriety aud succes,. He repre-.

grateful aud encouraging. and thinks that
there will be no doubt other being put.

customers and dealers, producers and con-

(.Selec.ed for the Western Democrat)
Twas the night after Christmas, when all through

Every soul was abed, and as still as a mouse,
Those stockings SO lately st. Nicholas care,
Were emptied Of all that eatabe there.
The Darlings had duly been tucked in their beds
With very full stoDachs and pain in the heads.
I was doing away in my new cotton cap,
And Nancy rather far gone in a nap,
When out in the Nurs'ry such clater,
-! sprang from my sleep-crying-"What is the
matter?'
I flew to each bedsde-st half in doze,
Tore open the curtains and threw off the clothes
While the light of the taper served clearly to
The piteous plight of those objects below,
For what to the fond fathers eyes should appear
But the little pale face of each sick little dear,
For each pet that had crammed itself full as a tick
! knew in moment now felt like old Nick.
Their pulses were rapid, their breathings the
same;
What their stomaches rejected Iii mention by
Now Turkey, now stufing Plum Pudding of
course,
And Custards and Crullers, and Cranberry sauce
Before outraged nature all went to the wall,
Ycs-Lollypops, Flapdoddle, Dinner and all,
Like pellets which urchins from pop-guns let fly,

AYERS PILLS.

Are you sick feeble and complaining Arc you
out Of order, with your system dcranged and your
feelings uncomfortable These symptoms are of
ten the prelude 10 serious illness. Some ft Of
sickness is creeping upon you, and should be
averted by timely use Of the right remedy. Take
Ayers Pills, and cleanse out the disordered hu-
mors-punfy the blood, aud let the fluids move on
unobstructcd in health again. They stimulate the
functions Of the body into vigorous activity, purify
the system from the distractions which make dis
ease. A cold settles somewhere in the body, and
dcranges its natural functions. These, if not re-
loved, react upon themselves and the surround
ing organs, producing general Nggravation, suffer
ing and arrangement. While in this condition,
take Ayers Pills. and see how directly they restore
the natural action of the system, and with II the
bdoyant feeling of health again. What is true and
SO apparent in this trivial and common complaint
is also true in many of the deep seated and dan
gcrous distcmpers. The same purgative effect ex-
pcls them. Caused by similar distractions and
arrangements of the natural functions of the body,
they are rapidly and many of them surely cured by
the same MEANS None who know the virtue of
these FILLS will neglect to employ them when suf-
fcring from the disorders they cure such as Head
ache, Foul Stomach, Dysentcry, Bilious Com
plants, Indigestion, Dcrangcmcnt OF the Liver,
Costvencss, Constipation, Heartburn, Rhcnma-
tism, Dropsy, Worms and Suppression, when taken
