Fierce o tbs are thick upon his lips
How creaks the bending gatel
God gave us NOT this precious time
To waste in frightened pray er;
We serve him better with our deeds,
If they be bold ana ialr.
He sits in heaven and smiles serene
Above each falling bead;
Prayers he bul fears, h, lends his arm
To help noble deed"

Scarce could the sexton dig the grave,
An Shoulder up MS Spaue,
With clods of grass and damp DiacA e"'n
Shll clnglng to the biadei
Scarce could the lady fall along,
Aud hide herself WITHIN,
Ere The coister Wall Hoh Gnu " enuj
Were full OF maru'n TN
Fvan while the breathless nuns heaped turf
Above the ST. eming grave.
Don Pedro's jeweileJ plumes were seen
Across the court to wave.
Straight towards the prioress and nuns
The furious monarch came;
Wrath smouldering In his deadly eyes,
his cheeks with wrath afiame.
Oh, wonder! miracle of grace!
With every step lie took
flower rose light ~ from the grave,
Ami in the breezes shook.
Lily, and violet, and rose,
Shot up, budd d and bore,
Shedding such odoIs in the sun
As flowers meier shed bette.
The alder sank lis hollow tubes
Far down into the tomb,
Till all the imp air underneath
Was banished with perfume.
Betwixt the whife roots OF the flowers
The tender gra peeped oui,
While Though lis speals ling creepers trailed.
An coiled their 81. ms about.
So, when the angry monarch'sstep
Had stayed It's headlong speed,
A muititu e OF loses lus, ed
Bet&een him aud his deeI.
Naught saw he nj: him to betray
Tn lady's hiding place
kauIht Tut a little mound that scenes

No Whisper fiom the frightened nuns,
Nor b. cath Don Pedro Rreets,
Save the SOFT breath OF tranquil nowers-
An eloquence Of sweets,
know not it lair sights and scents
uiay soothe fiery soul,
And with some subtle mystic power
Its raging heats control;
But, certes from that spot the king
Turned with d calu er air,
Mu tering low phrases to himself,
That sounded like prayer.
ALI still, as in a holy trance,
Tie bless ell lazy lay.
Nor knew how neaven had wrought until
The king was tar away.
Nor ye who read nor l who WRITE
Know not how Ger our heads,
When peru trowns, Gods tender hand
such fragrant bounties spreads.

Ayers Ague Cure.

For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &C.,
and indeed all the affections which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bsmuth,
ENC, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance
whatever, it in nowise Injuries any patient. The
number and importance ofits cures in the ague dis.
tricts, are literally beyond account and we believe
without parallel in the history of Ague medicine.
Our pride is gratiaed by the acknowledgements we
receive of the radical cures effected in obstinate
cases, and where other remedies had wholly failed.
Un9cclmated persons, either resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities will be pro.
tected by taking the AGUE CURE daily.
For Lirer Complaints, arising from torpiditv
the Liver into healthy activity
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is
an excellent remedy, producing many truly re-
markable cures where other medicines had failed.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine, has anything won SO widely and deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estilna-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a re-
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most eectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs As pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group. it should
DC kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antdote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
crable still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectordI. So complete Is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth.
ing else could reach them, under the Che,Ty Pee
torGl they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
As.hma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it,
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pect0raL in small and frequent doses
SO generallyare its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
