eBPERRY DAVIS VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER.

al Advertiser: "At this season Of the gear, when
cholera, cholera morbus, dysentery, and other kim
dred complaints are sure to prevail, everybody
should be literally supplied with the PAIN KILLER
Persons leaving home, whether it be for days ex
cursion or trip to Europe should be in condition
to place their hands on it at moments warning.
Many diseases incident to the summer months
which will prove fatalif not Immediately checked,

Pain-Killer. On more than one occasion have we
been relieved of intense suffering by the timely use
of the above named preparation. Sold by all Drug

Mr.. WEBSTER once replied to gentleman
VINO pressed him to speak on subject of
great importance: "The subject interests me
deeply, but l have no time. There, sir"
pointing TO hugh pile OF letters on the table,
lis pile OF unanswered letters to which
must reply before the close of the session
(which was then three days off, have no

But, Mr.. Webster, a few words from you
would do much to awaken public attention
to it." lr-
IF there is so much weight in my words
as you represent, II is because do not allow
myself to speak on any subject until my mind
is imbued with it,"
Demosthenes was once urged to speak on

The law Of labor is equally binding on gen

Poetry.
From the Evening Post.l
The City sPhynx.
BY LEArrr HUNT.


So still, so sad the evening tide
Ger slumbering city creeping.
Ills sadder far than history
In iabled dreamland sleeping.
The strangers feet her pathways beat,
Like Hagar in the wilderness.
Though peopled, she is desolate,
And nought but dreary dreariness.
Her steeples high pencil the sky,
On azure wall handwriting;
Their SUBMITS cry Eternityl
With Infinite uniting.
Her piles of stone lead up and down,
Lone avenues of Sphynxes;
Her windows stare, with vacant glare,
Like clear-eyed desert lynxes.
Ali why does this Cieep loneliness
Breathe through my nature asking?
The reason is, my dearest bliss,
Far, far away Is basking
On God! decree we>s shall not be,
snail never more be parted;
In life or death, our thought, our breath,
Shall ever be iwin-hcartcd.
