That ahe intenda to make with "Miss” A final aeparation. And oould not just aa well present The thrilling, aweet propoaal; That ahe would like to giro herself To flymen's bleat disposal; Or, to be n«a explicit, e’en, And save my readers trouble, That she intenda to change herself— Her ainglo self to doublo. To think a woman could not aay : “I lore you more, my Harry, Than all the world, except myself— Dear, would you like to marry ?

PERRY DAVIS’ VEGETABLE AIN Wo beg to call tho attention of the pub lic to this long tested and unrivalled FAMILY MEDICINE. The PAIN KILLER is a purely vegeta ble compound; and while it is a most effi cient Rornedy for Pain, it is a perfectly safe Medicine even in the most unskillful hands. FOR SUMMER COMPLAINT, Or any other form of bowel disease in chil dren or adults, it is an almost certain cure, and has, without doubt, been more success ful in curing the various kinds of CHOLERA than any other known remedy, or even the most skillful physician. In Indiai Africa and China, where this dreadful disease is ever more or less prevalent, the PAIN KILLER is considered by the natives, as well as Eu ropean residents in 'hose climates, a SURE REMEDY. Asa Tonic for the Stomach, it is unrivalled. A few doses will relieve se vere cases of INDIGESTION, and it is often a perfect cure for DYSPEPSIA, in its most aggravated forms. Its tonic and stimulating properties, arousing the system to vigor and aotion, render it a most effec tual cure for COLDS AND COUGHS, when used acoording to directions. For external applications, it is unsur passed by any medical preparation. Rheumatism and Neuralgic Affections are quickly relieved and often cured by it. Any Soreness in tbo Muscles or Joints can bo relieved by Rs application. It cures in stantly the most violent TOOTHACHE. It should always be kept near at hand, to be used in casos of severe BURNS or SCALDS. If applied immediately, accord ing to directions, it will give iustant relief, and prevent blistering. It is peculiarly adapted to tho wants of SEAMEN, and persons making sea voy ages, and no vessel should sail without a supf# of it. One Captain writes us; “I have made several voyages—often with emi grants, and though I keep a good Medicine Chest, and I have several times bad • good deal of sickness on board, I have found the I’AIN KILLER so efficient in all cases, as to entirely preclude the use of all other Medicines.” Fricos—2s Cents, 56 Cents, snd $1 per Bottle.
