| The secret of identifying the skin being known
only to Messrs. Jared d Rene, they honestly state
| that it differs from all other preparations; 1t
| gives to the most harsh and freckled skin both
the color and texture of polished ivory, removing
all discoorations whether appearing as freckles,
tan, morphew, moth, or black-worm specks, and
is especially successful in smoothing out the
marks left by Smallpox.

fidently submit to the public the earnest endorse
ments of such distinguished ladies as

liancy of rouge and lilly-white, with the great
and peculiar advantages of perfect harmlessness.
1t really adds to the softness and beauty of the
skin.

lotions, &c, which my theatrical profession OBJ
HgeS me to use, that consider IL perfect Dene-

SATURDAY NIGHT.

Chafed and worn with worldly care,
Swcetly, Lord, my heart prepare;
Bid this inward tempest cease;
Jesus, GENE, and whisper peace!
Hush tie whirlwind of my will;
With I'ayself my spirit fill,
End iii calm this busy week
Let the Sabbath gently break!
Sever, Lord, these earthly ties
Fain my soul to Thee would rise,
Disentangle me from time
Lift me to a purer cline;
Let me cast away my load
Let me now draw nigh to God:
Gently, loving Jesus, speak
End in calm this busy week.
Draw the curtain of repose,
While my weary eyelids close;
Steal my spirit while rest
Give me dreamings pure and blest:
Raise me with q cheerful heart
Holy Ghost thyself impart
Then the Sabbath day will be
Heaven brought down to earth and me.
