HELMBoLD's EXTRACT BucHU, for weakness,
with the following symptoms: Indisposition to Ex-
ertion, Loss of Power, Less of Memory Difficulty OF
Breathing, General Weakness, Horror of Disease,
Weak Nerves, Trembling, Dreadful Horror of Death,
Night Sweats, Cold Feet. Wakefulness, Dmness of
Vision, Langour, Universal Lassitude of the Mus
cular System, Often Enormous Appetite with Dys-
peptic Symptoms. Hot Hands, Flushing of the Body,
Dryness of the Skin, Pallid Countenance and Erup-
tons on the Face, Pain in the Back, Heaviness of
the Eyelids, frequently Black Spots Flying before
the Eyes, with Temporary Suffuson and Loss of
Sight, Want OF Attention. Great Mobility, Restless
ness, with Horror of Society. Nothing is more de-
sirable to such patients than Solitude and nothing
they dread, for Fear of Themselves; no Repose
of Manner, no Earnestness, no Speculation, but
hurried Transition from one question to another.
These symptoms, if allowed to go on-which this
Medicine invariably removes-soon follow Loss OF
Power. Faulty, and Epileptc Fits, in one of which
the patient may expire.
During the Superintendent of DIR. Wilson at the
Bloomingdale Asylum. this sad result occurred to two
patients; reason had for time left them, and both
died of epilepsy. They were of both sexes, and
about twenty years of age.
Who can say that these excuses are not frequent
ly followed by those direful diseases Insanity and
Consumption? The records of the Insane Asylums,
and the melancholy deaths by Consumption, bear
ample witness to the truth of these assertions. In
Lunatc Asylums the most melancholy exhibition
appears. The countenance is actually sodden and
quite desttute-neither Mirth or Grief ever visits it,
Should sound of the voice occur it is rarely artic-
uate.

During our war there was a girl, and she

Another letter said that the wounded Yank.
who was stopping at her house, was getting
along finely, and she hated to kill him, but
she knew her do-ooty. There We're several
letters after that, and the last one concluded:

Poetry.
Worn orr,


You say that the sun is shining,
ID That buds are upon the trees,
That you hear the laugh of the waters,
The hummng of early bsesi
l am pleasured by none OF these
L am weary!
Let me alone! The silence
Is sweeter than song to me!
Dearer than Light is Darkness
To toe eyes that loathe to see!
Ills better to let me be-
L am weary!
| have faltered. and fallen
The race was but began;
am ashamed, and murmtr,
ooh! that the day were done!"
How can love the sun.
Who am weary?
What will you do for the flower
That is cut away at the root?
II the wing of the bird be broken,
What wonder the bird is mute?
Oh, peace! that no more di3pute-
am weary!
will give you a token
token by which to know
When have forgotten the trouble
The troupe that tires me so
That can no further go,
Being weary.
When you shall come some morning
And stand beside my bed
And see the wonderful pall0r
That over my face is spread,
SHRINK not. But remember said
L was weary.
Then shall you search my features,
But trace you shall not see
Or all these months OF sadness
That have put their mark on me;
Then know that am free,
Who was weary.
For the Old must fall and crumb.e
Before we can try the New;
We must taste that the False is bitter
Before we can crave the True.
This done, there's no more to do,
Being weary,
Only to droop the eyelids
Only to bow the head.
And to pass from those who are signing,
calais! for our friend is dead!"
But remember how said,
81 am weary!"
