I>t youth dug th« praise of blushes, And thrill with the rapturous bliss That riso unbidden, and flushes The brain at the thought of • kiss. It is all very well to be ladeu With passionate joy when you see The tnnooent blush of a maiden, But the glance of a widow for mo. Not a flg would I giro for the rapture That swells in the breast of a boy, When Cupid has helped him to eaptore A hoarding-school casket of joy. I don’t care tor bloom and fine dresses — But Paradise comes when I see A widow in weeds and soft tresses — Ob I that it a charmer for me. Then let youth sing the praises of beauty, And kneel bofore maidenhood’s shrine, To ringlets and blushes pay duty, And dream that such things are divine. But give me the flash that entrances, The heart that was bound and is free, The eye with a soul in the glauoee— Oh ! a gentle young widow for me. Painting &. Gilding. ~ J. J.

A CERTAIN CURB For thia Disease may be found in the use of PERRY DAVIS’ VEGETABLE Pain. JKiller, St. Louis, Mo., June 14, 1849. Mr. A T. Woodward, Agent of Perry Davie' Pain Killer : , Dear Sir : I feel it a duty I ewe to the £ublie, to make known the value of Perry Avis’ 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 ou my trip down to Now 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 large bottles, and stated to you my confi dence 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 Orleans and back, for Cholera and some other complaints fbr 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 book ; and on my previous trip up I bad 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 my opinion, an infallible remedy! and after a fair trial with it for several weeks, and tor four trips to New Orleans and hack, 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 t 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 - well in recommending Perry Davis’s Pain Killer to the public, having myself been severely attackod with the Cholera, and found relief- in a few hours by using tbe 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 the public as an invaluable medicine, that no individual should be without a single hour. J. F. Boffington, Clerk Steamer Adriatic. Davis’ Pair Kii.lku.—ln to-day’s Pin’on will be fouud an advertisement of this cele brated remedy.
