Blood Cleanser or PanaCea.

As a medicine for children, the Panscsa is, In
every way, calculated TO take the place OF the
endless variety Of drugs which are annually sold
for that purpose, and which are often very inju-
rious. A medicine which possesses the qualities
Of a cathartic as well asa mild alternative. and
which is capable OF arresting disease with
out the least injury to tbs child, 10 Of incalcua
BILE value to every mother. As cAthartic, tits
very effective, yet Il does not II given in prspper
quantities cause nausea or distress to the
stomach or bowels. It's very pleasant 10 the
taste. which Is very important feature as q
medicine for children. Asa preventive OF dis
ease Il ia unprecedented. as il acts directly upon
the digestive organs and the blood. In all serof-
ulous diseases il is the most effective medicine ev
er offered 10 the public; and, II given regularly
aud perseverngly, those eruphve diseases a.

Who looking backwards from his manhood S
prime,
Sees not the spectre of his misspent time?
And, through the shade
Of funeral cypress, planted thick behind,
Hears no reproachfnl whisper on the wind
From his loved dead?
Who bears no trace of passien's evil force?
Who shuns thy sting, 0 terrible remorsei
Who does not cast
On the thronged pages of memory's book,
At times, sad and half reluctant look,
Regretful of the past?
Alas the evil which we fain would shun
We do, and leave the wished for good undone;
Our strength to-day
Is but to-morrow's, prone to fall;
Poor, blind, Improbable servants all
Are we always.
Yet who, thus looking backward o'er his years
Feels not his eyelids wet with grateful tears,
II he hath been
Permitted, weak and sinful as he was,
To cheer and aid in some enobling cause
His fellow man?
IF he hath hidden the outcast, or let in
A ray of sunshine to the cell of sim
If he hath lent
Strength to the weak and in an hour of need,
Over the sufferings, mindless of his creed,
Or home, hath bent

The praise to Him. in whom he moves and lives
With thankful heart
He gaZes back, and with home before,
Knowing that from his works he nevermore

THE DEVILS ROOM AND WHAT
WAS DONE THERE.

Our old Virginia landlord belonged to
generation now almost extinct, and his
provincial mode of speech may sound a
little rough to many of our readers; but
he lived and moved and spoke during a
long and respected life among his own
p,o PIE, and we must DOW let him tell his
story in his own honelg way
Gentlemen. Brrwell Crowdcr has been
livin' here since he lived anywhere on the
yearth, apd many are the ups and downs
he has seen. but the night | tell ye of now
beats all that ever happened at Holly
Tavern since the first tree was cut down
off f'en the place, or the first stage-horn
was ever blowed on yonder hills.
''Stages have been runnin' this road o
long. long time, and all sorts of folks have
come and gone in all these years-some
un 'em monstrous queer. some sensible,
some funny. t'others jolly; but when I
think ofhow the DEVILS room got its name,
and of the strange fellow that was mixed
up in that nights business, it makes me
as cold as the crawl of a snake, and all
the hair on my head stands up on end.
''By shotl if it amt twenty year ago

Polly was fxin' for fit, but I told the
old woman she would have to jolt and trot

and takin' my lantern, | went to the front
door to show the travellers in the bar

their faces / took good look at 'em, fer
it kinder struck me they were an ODD lot.
The first one next to me was tall,

hair. and blue eyes. l should say, though

were well-made, handsome, mannerly

that warn't thar.
He seemed to be favorite with his
friends too. and all of 'em gethered near
him, had somethin' to say to him, OF
wanted to do somethin' for him. The fel.

seemed to be his best friend, and called
him sometimes Hampden, then again
