EVENING STAR. IT IS NOT ALWAYS MAY. The sun is bright—the air is clear The darting swallows soar and sing, And from the stately elm, I hear The blue bird prophesying Spring. So blue yon winding river fiows, It seems an outlet from the sky, Where. waiting till the west wind blows The freighted clouds at anchor lie. All things are new, the buds, the leaves, That gild the elm tree’s nodding crest, And eve; the nest beneath the eaves: There are no birds in last year’s nest! All aren in youth and love, The of thefr first delight! And learn from the soft heavens above The meitiag tenderness of night. Maiden, that read’st this simple rhyme, Lay be youth, it will not stay ; En: ie nce of thy prime, or ob! it is not always May! Enjoy the Spring of Love and Youth, ‘0 some good angel leave the rest ; For time will teach thee soon the truth, There are no birds in last year’s nest ' ARRIVALS AT PRINCIPAL HOTELS National Hetel—wititum evr.

Indeed, very few are the diseases which a purgative medicine is not more or less required, and much sickness and suffering might be prevented if a harmiess but effectual Cathartic were more freely used No person can feel well whilea costive habit ef bod: prevails; besides it soen erates serious ani often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided by the timely and judicous use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds, Feveris» symptoms, and Bilions derangemeots. They ail tend to become or prodace the deep seated and formidable distempers which load the hearses al! over the land. Hencea reliable femily physic is of the first importance to the public health, and this Pill has been perfected with consummate skilito meet thatdemand. An extensive triel of its virtues by Physicians, Professors, and Pa- tients, has shown resul’s surpassing any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures hrve been effected beyond belief, were they not sub- stantlated by persons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid the suspicion of un- truth. Among the eminent gentlemen who haves testi- fled in favor of these Pilis, we may mention: Doct. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston, and State As-ayer of Massachusetts, whosc high Professional character is endorsed by the b Hon EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United States x ROBERT C. WINTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plen., to England +JOHN B. FITZPARICK, Catholic Bisbop of Boston; also Dr. J. R.

LELAND & Co., Proprietors of the Metro- politan Hotel, and others These Pills, the result of long investigation and #tvd@y, are offered tothe public asthe best and most complete which the present state of medica! science can afford. They are compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extrected by Chemical process in a state of purity, and com bined together in such a manner as to ins’.re the best results. This system of pete sete for medicines has been found in Cherty Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more efficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any p-ocess The reason is perfectly obvious ‘While by the o'd mode of composition, every medicine is bur- dened with more or less acrimonious and injuri- ous qualities, by this each individual virtue only that ie desired for the curative effect is present All the fhert and obnoxious qualities of each sub stance employed are Jeft behind, the curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self evi- dent the effects should prove as they have pr.ved, move purely remedial, and the Pills a more pow- erfal antidote o disease thad any other medicine keown to the world. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate {t 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.

Success to the genius whose tonic we say, ‘Turns back to its color the Hair that was gray. SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING !—By using Professor Wood’s Hair Restorative, gray hair can be permanentiy restored to its —— color. The subjoined certificate was received from Johnson & Stone, Gardner, Me , and is but one of the many instances that are daily coming to our knowledge of its wonderful effects. It is no loager problematical, but a self-evident truth, as hundreds of our community can testify.—Dos- ton Herald. GARDNER, Me, June 22, 1852. Mr. H. Drzs—Dear Sir: I have used two bot- tles of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and can truly say it isthe greatest discovery of the age for restoring and changing the Heir. Before using it I was a man of seventy. My hair has now at- tained its original color. You can recommend it to the world without the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kind DAN’L N. MURPHY CaR rte, Ill., June 27, 1853. Ihave used Prof O J. Wood's Hair Restora- tive, and have admired its wonderful effect. My hair was becoming, as 1. thought, prematurely gray; but by the use of the ‘‘ Restorative” it has Tesumed its original color, and, I have no doubt, permanently so. SIDNEY BREESE, Ex-Senator United States. HAIR RESTORATIVE.—1a our columns to- day will be found Prof. W ood’s advertisement of the above article, to which we call attention What it has done, we have witnessed upon sev- eral of ouracquaintances in St. Louis. Hair once gray met our view, black or brown as the case might be, being the color of early manhood; and ssiles and glossy as silk, and that without any other application than the Restorative. If it has done this upon others, will it not do the same for any of our readers whose ‘‘frosty prows”? were once like the ‘‘ raven locks”? of Lothiel’s warlike chief, if they will try it. We think so.—Jackson ville Constitutional, Oct. 5, 1853. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE.—It seldom occurs that we notice, under ‘ny circumstances, patent medicines, restora lives, or anything of the kind, for we have a pre- jJudice against most of them. But candor com- ewe usto invite attention to the advertisement of rofessor Wood's Hair Restorative. We are too oe to require anything of the kind, butsome instances of he use have come to our knowledge which almost assures us that it Is a sovereign Temedy against the hair becoming premature! y ray. Itis not a ‘‘Hatr Dye,” but upon its ap- lication, as directed, the effect is produced upon e skin, which brings out the original colored hair, without stiffness. and gives it a glossy and natural a ce.
