For the Empire State.
The Nocturnal Promenade.
“Sleep hath its own tcorld.”
There’s about all we see in dreams,
That which the heart with rupture fills,
They’re parasitic in loveliness, of all it seems.
Mediums that, with mystic beauty gilds
But of all the things we see,
When so flatteringly appears the world,
Naught’s half so charming and lovely.
As one’s madonna, angel girl.
In a dream by night, by my side,
Walked the lovliest thing of earth,
I marvel’d that on terra firma she'd ’bide,
I marvel’d that to such clay could give birth
The lovely creature I had seen before,
But she hadn’t the charms rich and rare
Which now to perfection she wore,
And angels might wish to wear.
We walk’d through an umbrageous grove,
Our arms reciprocally folded,
Where nor leaf, nor voice was heard to move
Save my companions as in a low sweet tone
•lie said,
“Cousin, this is a still and lovely spot,
’Fit place and time with nature to commune
Oh, how dead to the charming are those who
list not,
To bark in night when peacefully reigns
the moon.
“And mind, we should not forget
When of the lone glade we rove a denizen,
Ifqjding converse, some of our thoughts to set,
On holier cogitation—Ood and Heaven.”
We were now at a palisade,
And ’inong glis’ning marble a wiek't led,
And entering ere I could speak, she, said
In the same low, sweet tone, “‘Tis the city
of the dead ;
“Here, Cousin, we all a place must seek,
When our mundane pilgrimage is run,
Here must come the high, low, proud and
meek,
Death's pandemic to all “under the sun.”
“tlihow dark and uninviting this abode,
Who the terrors of the tomb can brave ?
And what can it of its horrors unload,
Who infuse cheer in the mansion of the
gvrae.
“Haply at this hour descends from above,
Such manes as may have distrust.
And still or floating through the silent grave,
Keep vigil over the abandoned, sleeping
dust.
“J would we had their power of soil,
That we might pierce the empyrian blue,
Soar from Time’s dark role,
And join the happy of Elysium too.
“Then from death’s cries and wails,
fV'c would abide in the bowers of the blest,
Where fanued by Eden's ambrosial gales,
The soul is surfeited, and rests.”
I awoke—alas ! ‘twas but a dream,
Oh, the anguish to be roused from such a
sleep !
I’d rather life’s light would never beam
Upon me more, could I thus aye sweetly
sleep.
The kind and gentle monition
Os this vision will color my fate,
It’s imprinted so deeply upon
Memory, that time cannot eradicate.
My companion in the promenade,
Os such mystic,superhuman beauty,
Whom I would not have bad so quickly fade
And vanish, was little cousin Sallie.
Greenville, Gu., Nov., 1856. Ivaxhok.
For the Empire State.
“Our Little Mary.”
Say not our “darling one” is dead
And mouldering ’neath the cold, cold sod;
■She slept, and Saints with noiseless tread,
Come down and bore her back to God :
She was too pure, too good for earth,
And Heaven but sent to claim its own.
Methiuks one rapturous song burst forth,
When Angels bore her to the throne.
Death may have aimed his fatal dart,
And snapped in twain life’s brittle thread,
May have still’d the beatings of that heart;
Yet she, “our darling” was not dead :
Yet may have borne a lifeless form,
Coffiued and shrouded with such care,
To yonder grave-yard drear and lone,
But “little Mary” was Dot there.
Ev’n then two Churches, hand in baud,
There hovering o’er that gloomy spot,
Singing “we've reached the happy land,
And all is joy—weep not, weep not.”
Then grieve no more, but e’en rejoice,
Cease vain repining, check the tear,
Mute be the tongue, and hushed the voice,
That would retain their spirits here.
And thou, “sweet cherub,” loved of all,
Thy last words were a promise given,
*‘Td come sometimes and sec you all,
If I could die and go to heaven.”
And now me thinks thou dost return,
At rosy morn and dewy eve,
For well I know thy heart still yearns,
Towards those thou loved’st and wept to
leave.
True, we ne’er hear thy tiny feet,
Tripping so lightly as of yore—
Thy winning smiles we never greet,
Wc hear thy flattering voice no more,
But all unseen on noiseless wing,
I feel thou still dost hover near,
Chanting the strains that Angels sing,
Seeking our saddened hearts to cheer.
Why should we wish thou had’st remained,
To tread with us life's thorny way,
When thou eternal life hast gained,
And reign’st with Saints in endless day ?
Nay, blest one, we’ll no longer weep,
Since thou art only gone before
A little while, and we shall sleep,
To wake with thee on Canaan’s shore.
♦Little Mary’s last words on bidding me “good
bye.”
Brooklyn, April 16, 1856. Mim.ik.
Ike says a Good Thing. —Mrs. Partington,
reading an account of a railroad accident, was
much surprised that the locomotive had been
driven off the track by one of the switches.
“I should’nt have thought it,” said she, that
the great iron ingiue would mind such a little
thing as a switch,”
“Yes, but you must remember, mamma,”
said Ike gravely, “the locumotive has a tender
behind. v
“Oh, thet indeed,” riplied the old lady re
suming her paper, “well, but you need not talk
about it my son —go on with your lesson.”
An Irishman who had commenced
building a wall around his lot, of rather uncom
mon dimensions, viz: four feet high and six feet
thick, was asked for his object by a friend.
To save repairs, my honey; don’t you see
that if it ever falls dowu it will be higher than
tt is now.

Yours respectfully, M II GRID LEY.
C 11 R Office, Vandalia, June 21, 1854.
! Professor Wood— Dear Hit ; I take pleasure in bearing
voluntary testimony to the excellence of your Hair Resto
rative. Three months ago my hair was very grey. It is
now a dark brown, (the original color.) smooth an’dglossy.
The only application [ have made to it, has been the Hair
Restorative, prepared by you, and which, from the result
iu my own case, 1 can most cordially recommend to others.
Respectfully yours, EDWARD WALCOTT.
Vincennes, la.. June 21, 1*53.
Prof. O J Wood : As you are about to manufacture and
vend your recently discovered Flair Restorative, I willstate
for whomsoever it may concern, that I have used it, and
known otheis to use iV —that [ have for several years been
in the habit of using other Hair Restoratives, ami that 1
find yours vastly superior to any other 1 know. It entirely
cleanses the head of dandruff', and with one month’s pro
per use, will restore any person’s hair to the original youth
ful color and texture, giving it a healthy, soft and glossy
appearance ; and all this, without discoloring the hands
that apply it, or the dress on which if drops. I would
therefore recommend its use to every one desirous of having
a line color and texture to hair. Ik spectrally yours,
WILSON KING.
St. Louis, June 29, 1 ‘53.
Prof. V ood : As you are about to prepare and vend your
recently discovered Hair Restorative, and as you request my
opinion of it, i will state that my hair was, a few months
ago, very grey, and after using two bottles of your Hair
Restorative, it resumed its original color, and since its ap
plication, all dandruff has disappeared from lire head,and
j I have been troubled with 110 disagreeable itching of the
j scalp. lam satisfied that those who use it, will not regret
it, as it gives the appearance of having been recently oiled.
1 suit prepared therefore, to recommend its use to all who
are desirous of having a beautiful head of hair.
I am, sir, yours, etc., II 1, STEWART.
Cincinnati, 0., Feb. 10, 1854.
Prof. M ood—Dear Sir : My hair had for several years,
been becoming prematurely grey, accompanied by a harsh
ness which rendered the constant application of oil neces
sary in dressing it. When I commenced using vour Hair-
Restorative, about two mont -s ago, it was in that condi
tion ; and having continued its use till within the last three
weeks.it has turned to its natural color, and assumed a
softnessand lustre greatly to bepreferred to those produced
by the application of oils or any other preparation I have
ever used. 1 regard it as an indispensable article for every
lady's toilet, whether tobe used as a Hair Restorative, or
for the simple purpose of dressing or beautifying the hair.
You have permission to refer to me all who entertain any
doubt of its performing all that is claimed for it.
MRS G SYMOXDd, 144, 3rd Street.
Watertown, Mass., May 1. 1854.
Prof. 0 J Wood : Allow me to attest the * irtues and
magic powers of your Hair Restorative. Three months
since, being exceedingly grey', T purchased, and soon com
menced to use two bottles, and it soon began to tell, in re
storing the silver locks to theif native color, and the hair
which was before dry and harsh and falling off, now became
soft and pi ussy, audit ceased falling ; tbe dandruff disap
peared, and the scalp lost all the disagreeable itching so
annoyihg before, and how I not only look, but feel young
again. Respectfully yours, etc..
