HI <? it V Vj f 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.

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.

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.
