l that mystic path was treading,
When the sun his rays was shedding,
Beaming, cleaning, fairly streaming thro' the
trees;
And I watched the streamlet glistening,
AS entranced l there was listening,
To the melting, merry music on the breeze;
When beneath q tree reclining
Where no ray of sun was shining,
Lo saw fellow-being on the ground;
Though no other feature shifted
Quickly, soon his eyes uplifted,
Upward lifted, as he wildly looked around.
Good friend, said I, approaching,
Do not charge me with encroaching,
Are you waiting for some messenger OF news?
But no other word he uttered,
And no other sentence muttered,
Save $50 to Simon Hilb's for Dry Goods,
Boots and Shoes"
That's strange expression surely,
Said l, looking down demurely,
trust, good sir, the question you'll excuse;
But he only looked the prouder,
AS he spoke the words the louder,
Go to Hilb's for all the Goods you use.
WHY bless me, man shouted,
As his sanity doubted,
TITS surely naugtt to me what merchant S goods
you buy.
But he only cried the higher,
With enthusiastic fire.
You'll save half your cash if Simc,. dilb you
try!
So left him there reclining,
Where no ray of sun was shining,
And frequently wondered at what the man
spoke in the woods;
Thinking surely it was mystery,
And that some hidden history
Was weaving round myselfand Simon S goods,
So then l resolved to try them,
Then couldn't help but buy them
And behold T! I've cause for gladness,
That the words deemed were madness,
Induced me thus to purchase my goods from
Simon Eilb.
So all will find the same cause for gladness who
call in time to secure some of the late bargains,
lately received direct from New York
They will find a SPLENDID ASSORTMENT

The failure to put stamps on all receipts, for
sums of $50 and over, notes, cheeks, drafts, and
to cancel the same by writing the date and mi
tials of the party giving said note, draft &c, on
said stamps, we learn has subjected some parties
in this locality lately to the payment of the PEN
atty of $50 for each failure. Parties receiving or
giving notes &C., which require stamps on which
there are no stamps or stamps not properly can
celed are subject to fine. See to it then that
you do not lay yourselves amenable to the impo-
sition OF fines for such failures as are mentioned
above

CONSU MPTION may result from neglected
colds. 1t may be generated by Scrofulous, Drop
steal, Catarrhal and constipated conditions of thu
system.
CATARRH, mostly the result of exposure and
neglected colds, is one of the most insdious an d
dangerous affections of the Human System; and
If not wholly removed, it eventually terminates
in that dread disease, Consumption
SCROFULA, SYPHILIS, and the varied dis.
eases of the Urinary Organs, are powerful gener-
ating causes of long train of disorders affecting
the Vital Organism and terminating in Dropsy
or Consumption, frequently both.
NATURE ever strives to produce perfect Sym
bols and healthy Progeny; but Tainted, Scrof-
uous, Syphilitic blood in parents, is transmitted
to the offspring, and if not removed, sooner or
later, generates consumption. This is the only
way "Children inherit Consumption
All the Vital Organs are delicate, and if one
becomes affected, the others, from sympathy, sui
fer more or less affection. If the blood becomes
impure and tainted with poison, the poison is
carried directly through the Lungs and all the
circulation, leaving disease on its way.
To remove this poison, a vigorous and
healthy action must be given to the Liver, not
by carthartcs alone, at the same time stimula-
ting the secretions ofthe Skin, the Lungs and the
Kidneys, and continued for weeks, and even
months, thus removing by degrees, but surely
every impurity and obstacle to free circulation
OF Organic Life, for Nature always wrestles to
throw off her enemy, but she frequently needs
assistance.
After many years Of incessant study and Ana
lytical Labor in the field of Chemistry, the Great
Purifier of Tainted Blood and Restorer of the in
jured System, has been found in the compound
ing of certain Vegetable Specifics, in DsBING'S
