EVENING STAR. THE STAR OF HOPE. And they who once have cherished it, Are woat to know its worth. And they who trace its onward course Through the fadeless azure sky. Though its lustre often seems to fade, They know "twill never die. Who would grasp the tom bright, ‘And claim It for their own ? fs Cr hope for joys which are not theirs, To treasure them unknown. But soon, alas! the vision’s fled, e dazzling Star "s Its Drightsess connet lest, wa om Yet still they “eel it will return, ‘Lo beam aguin more bright, To shed f's brilliant balo round ‘Lhe soul bereft of light. But there are some to whom it seems By shadowy clouds o’ercast— ‘Who deem it but a beacon light, Of joyous memories past. -——<o- Dears sy Viecexce.—Coroner O'Donnell was called upon yesterday to hold an inquest upon the body of a boy, fourteen years age, named William H. Powers, residing at No. 79 Willett street, who came to his death from a blow on the head, inflieted with a elub in the hands of some rowdies at present unknown. it appears. as far as we could ascertain, that Tuesday evening, as the deceased was standing at the corner of Broome and Willett streets, he was knocked down and brutally heaten by some ruffians who came out of a grocery store in the neighborhood. One of the assailants strack him a severe blow on the head with a club, rendering him almost sense- less Deceased crawled home as well as he could, and them went to bed. He began to gtow-very weak, when his nts thought proper to send for a docter. Medical aid was ef no avail, as he gradually became worse, and at 7 o’clock the following (yesterday) morning he expired. From the evidence taken before the Coroner it appeared that the de- ce. 1, along with some other Loys, was amusiog himself at a bonfire in front of the grocery store of Patrick Campbell, corner of Willett and Broome streets, when a fight ensued between these boys, and some young rowdies from another section of the ward. In the melee brickbats and other missiles were thrown against Campbell’s store, somewhat damaging his premises. He came out and remonstrated with the boys upon their eon- duet. and endeavored to make them leave the spot. The deceased, it appeared, would not leave the ground fcr some trivial reason, when seme one trom Campbell’s place came up and struck him across the head with aclub. One of the witnesses testified that, to the best of his belief, Campbell was the man who inflict- ed tbe fatal blow, while others, who were brought upon the stand, were of opinion that it th Lut some one who issued from im. - The case was not eoneluded last evening, O'Donnell being obliged to adjourn @ in consequence of the non-attend- Ce ance of some important witness.

THE GREATEST MEDICAL DISCOVERY OF THE AGE. Dr. KENNEDY, of Roxbury, Has discovered in onc of our COMMON PASTURE Werevs a remedy that cures EVERY KIND OF HUMOR; FROM THE WOKST SCROFULA DOWN TO A COM- MON PIMPLE. & HAS TRIED IT IN OVER ELEVEN handred cases, and never failed except in two cases, (both thunder humor ) He has now in his ssion over two hundred certificates of its vir- tue, all within twenty miles of Boston. ‘Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing sore mouth. One to three bottles will cure the worst kind of pimples on the face. Two to three bottles will clear the system of biles. Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst canker in the mouth and stomach. Three to five bottles are warranted to cure the worst case of Erysipelas. One to two bottles are warranted to cure all humor in the eyes. Two bottles are warranted to cure running of the ears and blotches among the hair. Four to six bottles are warranted to cure corrupt and running ulcers One bottle will cure sealy eruption of the skin. ‘Two to three botties are warranted to cure the worst case of ringworm. Two to three bottles are warranted to eure the most desperate case of rheumatism Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the salt rheum. ped to eight bottles will cure the worst cases of scrofula. A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the above quantity is taken. pet beg I peddled over a thousand bottles of this in the vicinity of Boston. I know the effect of itin everycase So sure as water will extin- I never sold a bottle of it but that sold another; aftera trial it always speaks for itself. There are two things about this herb that appears to me surpris- ing; first that it grows in our pastures, in some quite plentiful, and yet its value never mn known until I discovered it in 1316—second, tnat it should cure all kinds of humor. In order to give some idea of the sudden rise and great popusarity of the discovery, I will state that in April, 1853, 1 peddled it, and sold about 6 bottles per day—in April, 1854, 1 sold over 1,000 bottles per day of it. Some of the wholesale Druggists who have been in business twenty and thirty years, say that no- thi in the annals of patent medicines was ever like it. ‘There is a universal praise of it from all quarters. In my own practice I always kept it strictly for humors—but since its introduction as a general family medicine it and wonderful virtues have been found in it that 1 never suspected Seyeral cases of epileptic fits—a disease which was always considered incurable have been cured by a few bottles. U, whata ry it will prove effectual in all cases of that awful malady—there are but few who have seen more of it than I have. 1 know of s:veral cases of Dropsy, all of them eon peopie curet by it For the various diseases the Liver, Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Feverad Aue, Pain in the Side, Diseases of the Spine, and particularly ta diseases of the Kid- neys, &., the discovery has done more good than any medicine ever known No change of diet ever necessary—eat the best you can yet and enouzh of it.
