How Cyr*« laid th ® Cable.

It 1,00 ailly fable:
'Tie •" about the mighty oord
TDey call the Atlantic Cable.
prate Cyme Field, be laid, layi he,
I have a pretty notion,
That I can run a telegraph
Aoroai the Atlantio ocean.
Then all the people laughed, and laid:
They'd like to ice him do it I
He might get half seal over, but
He never could go through it.
To carry out hia foolish plan
He never would be able;
He might aa well go hang himself
With hia Atlantic Cable.
But Cyrus was a valiant man—
A fellow of docision ;
And heeded not their mocking words,
Their laughter and derision.
Twice did bis brave efforts fail,
And yet his mind was stable;
lie wa’n’t the man to break hia heart
Because he broke his oable 1
“Once more !my gallant boys!” be cried:
“Three times ! you know the fable!”
(VU make it thirty, muttered he,
But I will lay the cable.)
Once more they cried—hurrah—hurrah !
What means this great commotion !
The Lord be praised the cable s laid 1
Aoross the Atlantic ocean !
Lond rings the bell; for flashing through
Six hundred leagues of water,
Old mother England’s benison
Salutes her eldest daughter.
Now long live President and Queen ;
And long live the gallant Cyrus !
And may his courage, faith and zeal
With emulation fire us!
And may we honor evermore
The manly, bold and stable;
And tell our eons—to make them brave—
How Cyrus laid his cable !

CHOLERA.
A CERTAIN CURE
Fur this Disease may be
/ found in the use of
PERRY DAVIS’
VEGETABLE
3?ain JKiller,
St. Louis, Mo., June 14, 1849.
Mr. A T. Woodteord, Agent of Perry Dads’
Pain Killer :
Dear Sib : I feel it a duty 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 one dollar bottle of you for pains with
which I have long been afflicted, and made
use of it on my trip down to New Orleans,
with the most gratifying and beneficial
effects. On my return to this city, tho
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
large bottles, and stated to you my confi
dence in it as an infallible Cholera remedy,
and remarking to you that I wanted do
other Cholera remedy on my boat. I made
use of the four bottles on my trip to New
Orleans and hack, 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; acd on my previous trip up I had
mure 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 takon in time, it is, in my opinion, an
infallible remedy! and after a fair trial
with it for several weeks, and ior four
trips to New 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
family would be without a single day after
using one bottle; believing it to be the
most valuable family medicine known to
the world for all the different complaints
for which it is recommended.
P. S.—Please send me six large bottles
for this trip.
J. M. Broadwell,
Captain Steamer Adriatic.
I most cordially unite with Capt. Broad
woll in recommending Perry Davis’s Pain
Killer to tha 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 silty persons attacked with
the Cholera, and when used in time, a cure
was effected iu a few hours, and take pleas
ure in recommending it to the public as an
invaluable medicine, that no individual
should be without a single hour.
J. F. Boffington,
Clerk Steamer Adriatic.
Davis’ Pain Killer. — In 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 we know to be genuine, and
founded on facts, as they verbally stated in
our office the substance of what they pub
