<SJjr Jailj srrss. City Printer—Official Paper I,AR£IKRTCIT\ CIRCULATION.* THURSDAY MORNING Sept #, 188$ My Thoughts will Dwell With Thee. When ell around are gay and Mr, And pleasure rules the hour— .i When a arrow eeemi dispelled, and earn For onoe has lost its power ; From all the blithesome pud the gay, From all the bright I see— My thoughts still wander far away, To dwell alone With thee; Os all the joyous smiles I meet From sparkling eyes that shine, No smile to me is half so sweet, So highly prised as thine. Though others may be fair as thou, They seem not so to me; My thoughts forsake them then as now To dwelt alone with thee. It is not wealth’s rain glittering show, Where pride and splendor vie; Not all that riches can bestow Can pure affection buy j ’Tis not thy beauty charms the heart, Though fairer none may bo, But for thyself, all else apart, My thoughts will dwell with thee.

We lieg to call the 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 e - eient Remedy for Pain, it is a perfectly safe Medicine even in tbe most unskillful hands. FOR SUMMER COMPLAINT, Or any other form of bowel disease in chil dren nr adults, it is an almost certain cure, and has, without doubt, been more success ful in curing tbe various kinds of CHOLERA than any other known remedy, or oven the most skillful physician. In India, Africa and China, where this dreadful disease is ever more or less prevalent, the PAIN KILLER is considered by the natives, as well os Eu ropean residents in those 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, urousing tbe system to vigor and action, render it a most effec tual cure for COLDS AND COUGHS, when used according to directions. For external applications, it is unsur passed by any medical preparation. Rheumatism and Neuralgic Affections arc quickly relieved and often cured by it. Any Soreness in the Muscles or Joints can he relieved by its application. It cures in stantly the most violent TOOTHACHE. • It should always bo kept, near at band, to be used in eases of severe BURNS or SCALDS. If applied immediately, accord ing to directions, it will give instant reliof, and prevent blistering. It is peculiarly adapted to the wants of SEAMEN, and persons making sea voy ages, and no vessel should sail without a supply 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 had a good deal of sickness on board, I have found tbe PAIN KILLER so efficient in all cases, as to entirely preclude the use of ail other Medicines.” Prices—2s Cents, 50 Cents, and $1 per Bottle.
