BY WIDESWARTH. It was an ardent boyish love, That faded out, as life grew older ;— My heart flew to her like a dove, And lighted on her beauteous shoulder, Or sipped the honey of her lips, Or in her eyes found heavenly graces, I loved her to her finger tips— I loved ber very foot print traces. Her features wore a rapturous charm, Her smile made all within me flutter, In rounded beauty was her arm, Her little hand was fat as butter. No wonder that I loved her so, But she was false as she was pretty, And soon she sacked her Little beau And took a big one from the city. I caught him out one gloomy nigbt— *Twas one of love’s extremest phasee— 1 aggravated him to fight, Bat oh! he larruped me like blazes. 1PAL HO National Motel.—evY & BRIGGS © W Spedden & ly, Va ~ @ilmore, Pa ARRIVALS ATTHE PRIN( Mr James, H Mayer, do 8 Smith, NY Hon S Kose & fy, Wis W Peters, do D C Jackson, do J Vanderpool, d JClark.Mo- FS Van E Belknap, NY AR Pollar G W Childs, Pa Sanderson, Pa J E Peyton & ly, do © Budington, Mass Miss Montgomery, do C Hebbie, ct B K Davis.

The proofs cz its efficacy are so numerous, so well authenticated, and of such peculiar charac- ter, that sufferers cannot reaso: y hesitate to re~ ceive the proffered aid. The Peruvian Syrup does not tobea cure-ali, but its range is extensive, because many diseases, appareniiy unlike, are intimately re- lated, and, proceeding from one cause, may be cured be one remedy. The class of diseases for which the Syrup pro- vides a cure, is precisely that which has so often baffied the highest order of medical skill. The facts are tangibie, the witnesses accessible, and foe safety and efficacy of the Syrup incontrovert- le. I bave enal: the medical preparation cailed the Peruvian Syrup, with reference to the number and kind of active substancescontained in it, and the recto the compound as a pharmaceuti cal erticle. antimony, mercury and zine are nct present, nor is it possible to detect in it the slightest indica- tion of any metallic and mineral poison _Its or- ganic constituents do not include opium, or any of the drugs yielding poisonous principles.
