PERRY DAVIS’
VEGETABLE
FAIN KILLER,
STILL TRIUMPHANT,
A ND after a thorough trial by innumerable
living witnesses, has proved itself to be
THE MEDICINE OF THE AGE
Although there )iave been many medicinal
preparations brought before the public since
the first introduction t f Ferry Davis’ Vegeta
ble Pain Killer, and large amounts expended
in their introduction, the Pain Killer has
continued to steadily advance in the estima
tion of the world as the best Family Medi
cine ever introduced. As an internal and
external remedy it is truly a source of -
JOY TO THE WORLD.
Oue positive proof of its efficacy is, that
the sales have constantly increased, aud
wholly upon its own merits, as the proprie
tors have not resorted to advertising io gain
for it the rank it now holds among the great
number of preparations of the present time.
The effect of toe Pain Killer upou the pa
tient, when taken internally in cases of
Colds, Cough, Bowel Complaints, Cholera,
Dyssentery and other affections of the sys
tem, has been truly wonderful, and bas now
for it a name among medicinal preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its success in
removing pain, as an external remedy, in
cases of burns, bruises, sores, sprains, cuts,
sting of insects and other causes of suffering,
bas secured for it such a host of testimony,
ns an almost infallible remedy, that it will
be linuded down to posterity* as one of the
greatest medical discoveries of the nine
teenth century. The magical effects of the
Pain Killer when taken or used according to
directions,are certain. You have only to be
sure that you buy the genuine article and
adhere to the directions in its use, and yon
will admit its wonderful medicinal proper
ties.
The genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is
now put up in panel bottles, with the words
Davis’ Vegetable" Pain Killer blown in the
glass; and with two steel engraved labels
on each bottle—one an excellent likeness of
Perry Davis, the Original inveutor of the
medicine, the other a steel engraved note of
hand—none others can be relied upon as ge
nuine. Price of bottles 12 1-2 cents, 25cents,
50 cents and $1, respectively.

THE DYING BOY.
BY NETTIE LYNN.
I’m dying, mother, dying now,
Please raise my aching head—
Aud fan my heated burning brow,
Your boy will soon be dead.
Turn over my p.llow once again,
And kiss my fevered cheek ;
I’ll soon be free’d from all the pain,
For now I am so weak.
Now light the lamps, my mother dear,
The sun has passed away,
I soon must go, but do not fear,
I’ll live in endless day.
A band of angels beckon me—
I can no longer stay,
Hark, bow they sing, “ We welcome thee
Dear brother, haste away.”
Their flowing robes in brightness shine,
A crown is on each head;—
Say, mother, will not such be mine ;
When I am with the dead ?
Ob, I’m sinking fast, my mother dear,
Here I can no longer dwell,
Yet I’ll be with you, do not fear,
But now, oh, now, farewell!
Yet do not weep, sweet mother, now,
’Twould break thit holy spell;
Those burning tears fall on my brow
Farewell, oh l fare thee well!

A SHY AT THE CATS.
The following graghic picture is from
the Albany State Register:
We stated a long time age, that there
would be trouble some mooulight night
among ibe cats that congregate on the
longsned in the rear of our dwelling.
We gave notice that we had wasted
more wood on them than we were able
to spore—that we had used up all the
brickbats that we could lay our hands
on—that we had* thrown away some
thing less than a ton of coat—and had
smashed a window on the opposite block.
All this proving of no avail, we said we
had got a double-barreled gun and per
cussion caps, and powder and shot; and
some morning after a moonlight night,
somebody’s cat wouldn’t come home to
breakfast, or if it did it would be troub
led with the dumps. We gave fair no
tice of our grievances, and what we in
tended to do about them.
Well, the moon came up on Monday
night, witli her great, round face, and
went walking np the sky with a queen
ly step, throwing her light, like a man
tle of brightness, over the whole earth 1
We love the caffh of a moonlight night,
in the still Spring time, and the cats of
our part of the town love it too; for they
come Trom every quarter—from the
sheds around the National Garden—
from the kitchens and the stabtes—
creeping stcalingly -and softly along the
tops of the fences, and along the sheds,
and clambeting up the boards that lean
up against the out-buildings they sat
themselves down, more or less of them,
in their old trysting place—right oppo
site our chamber window, To all this
we had, in the abstract, no objection.
If a cat wishes to take a quiet walk by
moonlight—if he chooses to go out for
his pleasure or his profit, it is no parti
cular business of ours, and we' liav’nt a
word to say. Cats have rights, and we
have no disposition to interfere with
them. But they mus( .keep the peace.
They must get up no disorderly meet
ings, no unlawful assemblies. If they
choose tp hold a convention, they can
do it for all of us—but they must go
about it decently and in order. They
must talk matters over cainlly ; there
must be no rioting, no fighting. They
must refrain from the use of profane
language—they mustn’t swear. There’
law against all this, and we warned
them long ago that we would stand no
such nonsense. We said we’d let drive
among them with a doublebarreled gun
loaded with powder and duck shot, and
we meant it. But those cats didn’t be
lieve a word we said. They didn’t be
lieve we had any powder or shot; they
didn’t believe we had any gun , or knew
how to use it if we had. And one great
Maltese (with eyes like tea plates and
a tail like a Bologna sausage,) grinned
and sputtered, and spit in derision and
defiance at our threats. “ Very well,”
said we, “ very welf, Mr. Tom Cat, very
well indeed 1 On your head be it, Mr.
Tom Cat. Try it on, Mr. Thomas
Cat, and see who will get the worst of
it.”
We said the moon came upon Mon
day night with her great round face
and all the little stars hid themselves as
if ashamed of their twinkle in the splen
dor of her superior brightness. We re
tired, after the baby had been put asleep
in his crib, and the rumble of the car
riages and carts had ceased in the streets
and the scream of the 10 o’clock train
had died away into silence, with a quiet
conscience, and in the confidence that
we should find that repose to which one
who has wronged no man during the
day is justly enttiled.*
It may have been 11 o’clock, possi
bly midnight, when we were awakened
from a pleasant slumber by a babel
unearthly sounds in rear of our cham
ber. We knew what those sounds
meant—they had cost ns fuel enough
to have lasted us a week. We raised
the window, and there, as of old, r ight
opposite us, on the noTth end of that
long shed, was an assemblage of all the
cats in our part of the town.

TRANSPARENCIES.
When-the mother of a large family of
grown-up daughters pays a good deal of
court to n rich young man who is not
yet blessed with a wife, her conduct be
comes so ridiculously transparent that
all her female friends openly laugh at
her for it.
When a candidate plays with the
children of an elector, and stuffs them
with oranges and sugar plums, and pays
compliments to the wife, and begs to
hold the baby whilst “ she gets her good
man’s dinner ready,” it does not require
the sight of a lynx or a conjurer to see
through a miserable transpaiency like
that.
When a friend drops in after dinner
and brings a bag of filberts with him,
the transparency assumes immediately
the rich glow of a bottle of wine.
When a medical man is called out of
church regularly every Sunday, he must
flatter himself exceedingly if lie fancies
no one sees through a trick so exces
sively transparent as that.
When a proud, extravagant family
breaks up its establishment in town and
country, sells off everything it has, and
goes to live on the Continent for the
purpose of “ giving the children the
best continental education,” we doubt if
there are many persons, even of the
most benevolent turn of mind, who give
much faith to a story so transparent.
When government talks year after
year of the “ public accounts being fram
ed with the strictest regard to economy,”
we wonder how many persons are taken
in by the transparency.
When a young swell puts down his
horse, and voluntarily gives up bis dog
cart because he “ has been ordered to
take exercise,” the’ only effect such a
transparency can have on the eyes and
minds of his friends is to make them
exchange looks of comical incredulity
and smile.
When a servant wishes for a holiday
44 to go and see her mother,” on Easter
Monday, or a clerk asks for “ a day’s
leave, if convenient, for the purpose of
visiting his aunt in the country, «ho is
very poorly,” on the Derby day, though
the requests in both, instances may- be
acceded to, still we suspect tlmt the
masters, in granting them, kindly shut
their eyes to the extreme transparency
of the excuse.—Punch.

The Silk Trade.—According to a
circular which has just been issued* by
M. Dufour, of Lyons, the results of the
new crop of silk may be estimated as
follows:—1 n Prance a very satisfactory
yivld, fine weather having lately dissi
pated every cause of danger. In Naples,
Spain and Piedmont a short crop. With
regard to Lombardy, the accounts are
conflicting, but such cases of failure
that are reported appear to be local. In
the markets, both at St. Etienne and
Lyons, the transactions appear very ac
tive, and prices are well maintained-
The Cincinnati Gazette says there

A Case of Poisoning.—We learn
that an entire family residing in the low

other day—Mrs. Malcom Persona, her

Singular Coincidence.—Thc Rom
ney (Va.) Intelligencer, speaking of
the murder of Orndorff by McDonald a
few weeks ago, in. Hampshire county,
relates a strange coincidence. Mc
Donald was robbing Lockmiller’s house
when Orndorff came op, and he s ,i ct
him for fear of being detected. Fifty
years ago McDonald"s grandfather, near
the identical spot, was robbing thc It use
of a Mr. Lupfort, when L.’s three little
children came upon him, find for fenv
of detection, he murdcri d, he supposed,
all of them, but fortunately one lived to
testify against him, and he was hung.
ABUSE OF SAM.
The abuse heaped upon this illustrious
individual by the Cobb* and Johnson
Regency and their organs, is probably
without a parallel for its violence and
coarseness Conscious of the purity of
his motives and the genuineness of hi-'
patriotism, he beafs their opprohions
epithets and denunciations with undis
turbed composure and equanimity. If
is true, that it is a little giating to one of
his years and experience, to be called »r
Know Nothing,” by the modern poll-
ical upstarts who now aspire to lead ibe
people. Nor is it picas int to be d< wottfie -
