City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST CITY* CIRCULATION. FRIDAY"HORNING— *»l 7 J0 ' 18M ' MY VIS-A-VIS. W BY A. r. WHITE. That olden lady—can it bo T Well, well, how seasons slip away ! Do lot me hand her cup of tea. That I may to her gently say : “Dear madam, thirty years ago, When both our hearts were full of glue, In many a danoo and courtly show I had you for my vis-a-via. “That pale blue robe, those chesnut curls, That Kastern jewel on your wrist, That neck enelroling string of pearls Whence hung a cross of amethyst— I see them all—l tee the tulle Looped up with roses at the knee. Good Lord! how fresh end beautiful Was then your cheek, my vis-a-vis. “I hoar the whispered praises yet, The buss of pleasure when you came, The rush of eagerness to get, Like moths, within the fatal flame • As April blossoms, faint and sweet, As apples when you shake the tree, So hearts fell showering at your feet, In those glad days, my vis-a-vis. “And as for me, my breast was filled With silvery light in every cell ; My blood was some rich juice distilled From amaranth asphodel; My thoughts wore airier than the lark That carols o’er the flowory lea; They well might breathlessly remark, ‘By Jove! that is a vis-a-vis!’ “0 time and change, what is’t ye mean ? Ye Gods ! can I believe mine cars ? Has that bald, portly person been Your husband, ma’am, for twenty years ? That six-foot officer your son, £Vho looks o’er his moustaches at me ? Why did not Joshua stop our sun When I was first your vis-a-vis ? “Forgive me if I’ve been too bold, Permit me to return your cup; My heart was beating as of old, One drop of youth still bubbled up.” So spoke I; then, like cold December, Only these brief words said she: “I do not in the least remember I ever was your vis-a-vis.” Job Pi-luting In Plain and Fancy Colors, neatly, cheaply and promply executed at this Office.

Mr. A T. Woodward, Ayent of Perry Davis’ Pain Killer : DeaYi Sir : I feel it a doty I owe to the public, to make known the value of Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, and my experience in using it for some of the complaints for which it is highly recommended. In April last, on your recommendation, I purchased a ono dollar bottle of you for pains with which I have long been nfflicted, and made use of it ou iny trip down to New Orleans, with the most gratifying and beneficial effects. On my return to this city, the Cholera made its appearance among some of my passengers. I made use of the Pain Killer, having no other remedy on board, and, to my surprise and gratification, found it gave immediate relief! On my arrival in St. Louis, I called on you and got four largo bottles, and stated to you my confi denoo in it as an infallible Cholera remedy, and remarking to you that I wanted no other Cholera remedy on my boat. I made use of the four bottles on my trip to New Orloans and back, for Cholera and some other complaints for which it is recom mended, and met with the most astonishing success ; when I ordered from you six more one dollar bottles. Since then I have made two more trips to New Orleans and back; and on my previous trip up I had more than SEVENTY CASES OF CHOLERA on board, when the PAIN KILLER was immediately used with the most astonishing results. In all cases where it was used in time, it gave relief in a very short time; and I can, with confidence, say to the pub lic, that in all the first stages of Cholera, when taken in time, it is, in iny opinion, an infallible remedy! aDd after a fair trial with it for several weeks, and tor four trips to Now Orleans and back, and using it for Cholera and other complaints for which it is recommended, no consideration whatever would induce me to leave port without a good supply—believing it to be a medicine that no officer of a boat or any tamily would be without a single day after using one bottle; believing it to bo the most valuable family medicine known to tho world for all the different complaints for which it is recommended. P, S.—Ploase send mo six large bottles for this trip. J. M. BnoAnwr.LL, Captain Steamer Adriatic. I most cordially unite with Capt. Broad well in recommending Perry Davis’s Pain Killer to the public, having myself been severely attacked with tho Cholera, and found relief in a few hours by using the Pain Killer, and have myself administered it to more than fifty persons attacked with the Cholera, and when used in time, a cure was effected in a few hours, and take pleas ure in recommending it to tho public as an invaluable mediciue, that no individual should he without a single hour. J. F. Bopfington, Clerk Steamer Adriatic. Davis’ Pain Killer. —ln to-day’s Union will be found an advertisement of this cele brated remedy. The certificates appended from the captain and clerk of the steamer Atlantic wo know to be genuine, and founded on facts, as they verbally stated in our office the substance of what they pub lish. —St. Louis Union.
