EVENI —— : NG STAR. FOR THE sta Addressed to Little Jennia W— nh. Jennie, why those humid eyes? Tell me whence thy cares arise ? Nought to thee should sorrow bring, Life should be perpetual spring; Fun and frolic, mirth and giee, Age or sickness, want, or shame, The soothing balm of tesrs may claim. ‘Fime enough for thee to grieve, When the friends you trust deceive— Whea ingratitude repays, Deeds which only me:it praise ; When cherished friendship turns to hate, When the heart Is desolate, ‘nm the forms you love the most Moulder in the silent dust, “When the body’s racked with pain, and not ‘till them, complain But the homely simile, Haply may apply to thee; Tears are but the April shower, Harbinger of earliest flower. Yes, already may we trace, Smiles of joy upon thy face; Like the showe; and sunshine met, While backward flow thy curls of jet, Thy brow disclosed of heavenly light, Could warm the heart of Anchorite; And now the dimples en thy cheek, More of happiness bespeak, ‘The pearly truth and rosy lip, Where honey bees might ‘aelgn to sip; All—all denote thy joy supreme, Thy grief at most an idle dream. Thus ever be thy lot below, 3 smiles of pleasure banish woe, all thy griefs, and fears, Pood’ ARRIVALS ATTHE PRINCIPAL HOTELS National Hlotel.—cvy s sricas.

That such is its character, isabundantly proved by the fact, that it has been extensively used the last twenty years with unparalleled suc- cess; that its reputation has continued to spread and its sale increase, with little aid from adver- tising or published lists of certificates, (which all Know can as easily be for a worthless preparation as for a meritorious one,) that by its own intrinsic merit, with the recommendat:on of persons benefitted Le its use, it has gained its Present popularity; it 1s not trumpeted to the world as a specific or cure all, but asa valuable and scientific auxiliary in pulmonary cases, ready at hand, and one that has been generally found to afford relief where most others have been tried without material benefit As such, it is - nised by numbers of our leading physicians, who know its composition, and have been eye wit- nesses of its superior efficacy, as well as by thou- sands of our most respectable citizens, to most of ‘whom reference |s cheerfully permitted.
