EVENING STAR. [vor THE stag. Lines written upon the death of B.C. Grenup. Respectfully dedicated to the Columbia Fire Company by “A Friend.” Hark ' hark! the startling cry of ‘‘fire’”’ Peals forth upon the mi ht air; The flames burst forth with raging fury, And gild the clouds with lu Lg re. Ring, ring your bell, ye brave “CoLtumsia,’’ And from their dreams thy members wake ; Their duty calls, the foe is raging— Quick! quick ! thy post of duty take. The bell is rung, brave men assemble, With eagerness to reach the fire, And there, amid the blinding smoke, To toil with wills that never tire. They start with gay and b: t spirits, As they had n done before : But oh! great God! how sad thesequel— There’s one brave soul will start no more. When sickness holds a loved rm And death o’ertakes him in his bed, Our hearts prepared to bear the sorrow, To bear him numbered with the dead ; But oh! how deep and keen the anguish That fills our souls with mourning grief, To see a friend so dear, snstched from us In a space of time so very brief. Yes, our beloved companion’s dead : He now lies sleeping in the tomb: His soul has winged its way to God, And left us here to mourn his doom. Though now his voice is hushed in death, No more to sing those songs so sweet, His memory will live in every heart Until they shall no longer beat. Waskineton, May 9th, 1856.

They are compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extracted by Chemical process in a state of purity, and com bined together in such a manner as to insure the best results. Tkis system of ene, ean for medicines has been found in Cherry Pectoraland Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any process The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the o'd mode of composition, every medicine is bur- dened with more or less acrimonious and ipjurl- ous qualities, by this each individual virtue only that ts des.red for the curative effect is present All the inert and obnoxious qualities of each sub stance employed are left behind, the curative Virtues cnly being retained.

They optrate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irregular action to health. and by correcting, wherever they exist, such de- rangements as are the first origin of disease.
