sent for some. After taking two
doses the pain left me. | slept well
and arose the next morning free
from the terrible disease. The one
cured me. If any one doubts this
| will prove it by several witnesses. :"

For the SPECTATOR.
Old 0rier of Court.

This order was made at a Court of Au

"Ordered that VIM. Pierce and Adam

Run, 10 Capt. Downs's place, formerly Al.
eNandrr Thompson's, and make report OF
their proceedings to next Curt
Now, Mr.. Editor, You were raised not far
from the line of that proposed road, as it
would come to Staunton. Gov. SpotswoOd
had drawn attention to that point in the
Blue Ridge, few years comparatively be-
fore. and it loomed up conspicuously and
caught the public eye, before Rockfisil, that
we do not see in print for years afier his
expedition. Col. Joseph Mauzv, your faith

was as well versed in all that pertained to
its early history as any citizen in its limits.
Surveyors, at an early day, for the reason
their BUSINESS called them to every part of
the county, and the investigation of titles
necessarily increased this knowledge, and the
adage, "Wemoria excelle,dO augetur," has
been most s'rikinglv typ,fied in what we
know of some of them. John Poague died
before we knew him, yet we are informed
his memory was wonderful, and the fund
of information collected was astonishing.
There were no newspapers in that day, and
tradition did its perfect work, and as this
prominent and influential citizen sat around
the hearth-stone of the old pioneer think
you that his visit would not he appreciated.
as a number of the New York Herald
would be to one who. like Rip Van Winkle.
had been asleep long time? The interest
would be reciprocal, as the Surveyor would
gather from his aged host all that pertained
to the history of that remote settlement as
it related to the Indian raids, the alarms,
the coming-in If settlers, the marriages,
deaths, hunting, trapping, &c. 1t was our
fortune. forty year, ago, to be the guest of
that mnst remarkable man-perlaps is

Yes. let Us dofr the cloak we wear.
Which hides so much deceit.
And go back TO our childhood days 80
That were so pure and sweet, :
When We, like thee, had never dreamed

And knew not that the sun grew dark
In such world as this.
We've looked on stagnant waters oft.
And there lily spied,
Arrayed in snowy purity
With filth on every side,
And true emblem may 1t be
Of unpretendin0 LII
Tho all around corruption refgns.
May she be spotless still.
Her little life wears no Disguise
Ills like the morning dew
And may the wo:ld defife 1t not
AS she is passing through;
And when our modest Lily droops,
And fades from earthly sight. 81

made him anticipate wha, the third one

POET II Y.

OVER THE BARS.
Twas milking time and the COWS came up
From the meadow swef t. with clover,
And sto~d in the lane, whi,e pretty Jane
Had quiet chat with the drover-
such quiet chat that it scarcely seemed
That q single word was spoken;
While magic spell with the night dews fell,
And the rhythm of song was unbroken.
Tho cattle st ood at the lo' er's side,
without any show OF vexation.
As though impressed at five bar rest
Was part of the restoration.
And as Jane listened to the notes that came
Right under The bars and over,
Heart took wing, the silly thing,
And nestled close up 10 the drover.
She heard him say his home was poor,
That he'd nothing but love to give her;
And she smiled content, as though love had
spent
Every arrow he had in his quiver.
She smiled content. whilst the evening air
With voices of birds was ringing,
And her lips confessed that lowly nest
Should never prevent her singing.
So over the bars the lovers lean,
In the joy of their sweet communion;
And their looks declare that poverty neer
Shall be bar to their union;
Oh, sweetest music, go through your rhymes
Now under The bars and over!
Where pretty Jane. in the fragrant lane.
Bewitched the heart OF the drover.
