Pun Among the Poets.

Ia distinguished poet of Maine wrote and
published the following, after the birth Of
bis first child:l
One night as old st. Peter slept,
He left the door of Heaven aiar
Wneh through little angel erept,
ANA came down with a falling star.
Zone summer as the blessed beams
vi morn approached, my blushing bride
Awakened from some pleasing dreams
And found that angel by her side
God grant but this-I ask no more
That when he leaves this world of main
He'll wing his way to that bright shore.
And find his home in Heaven again.
John e. SAKE deeming that an Injustice
had been done to st. Peter. wrote The fol.
lowing as
TT. PETERS BEPLY,
Full eighteen hundred years or more
I've kept my gate securely tied:
There has no Little Angel strayed,
Nor one been missing from my side
Il did not sleep as you supposed,
Nor left the door of Heaven ajar,
Nor has Little Angel left,
And gone down with falling star.
go ask that blushing bride, and see
II she don't frankly own and cay,
That when she found that angel babe
She found II in the good old way.
God grant but this-I ask no more
That should your number still enlarge,
Hou VIII not do as done before,
And lay 1t TO old Peters charge"

SPECIAL NTIcEs.

The following is from the principal accountant
of the wealthy and highly respectable huuse of
Messrs. Noris Il Bro, of this city and presents ONE
OF THE MOST WONDERFUL CURES IN THE ANNALS of
medical history:
Mr.. III. g. Fsrrell-Dear Sir: Actuated by sense
OF gratefulness l submit the following as an in
| stance OF the utility of your great medicine MY
child three years old, was suddenly attacked with
terrible disease, which in less than six hours pros
trated 1t to total helplessness. The limbs became
so rigid that not joint could be bent; the flesh
turned black and cold and entirely deprived of feel
ing the eyes fixed partially closed and altogether
bling, following this was deafness to all sounds:
| the spine became contracted and so curved that
when lying on its back the head and heels only
| touched. Indeed, the child presented Every ap-
peaTarce OF being dead. Immediately on the at.
tack, the family physician was called in, and for
three weeks he labored to restore it feeling but
all in vain, although it was blstered dozen times
| and various rubefacent Liniments applied. A con.
sultatiOn of physicians then held, but to
pose, the case was then brought before the Medical
Society, but nothing could be suggested which had
not already been done, and the doctor then told
| he could do nCthing more. We then commenced
| applying your Li1iment freeley over the entire
length Of the spine, and you may imagine parents
joy, when after few appcat. ons, returning ami.
nation was apparent, and it rapidly recovered with
| the exception of the sight, which did not become
perfect for near month. The child is now healthy
and robust MS can be. Five other of the same
| kind occurred previously in my neigh borhood, al
of which died, when there is doubt if your Lin
ment had been used they would have recovered.
