UFE ON THE CAN AWL.
A life on the raging eanawl,
A home on its muddy deep,
Where, through s ummer, spring and fall,
. The frog their jewels teep.
Like a fsh on a hook 1 pine,
On this dull unchanging shore
O, give mc the packet liue,
And the muddy canawl's dull roar.
Oace more on the deck I stand
Or my own swift gliding cra'lt .
The horses trot off on the land, '
And the boat follows close aWt.
We shoot through the turbid foam
'. Like a bull-frog in a squall,
And, like the frogs, our home
"We'll find in the muddy canawl. , j
The sun is no longer in view,
" The clouds have begun lo frown, ;
But, with a bumper or two,
. We'll say, Jet the stonn come do w n .
And this song we'll sing one and afl,
XV hile the storm around us pelts:
A life on the muddy canawl,
Oh, we doift wait ?4nolhig else."
Blitz, the Humbug. In order the
better to understand the following joke, it
should be know that Signor Blitz is a eel
cbratcd ventriloquist and magician. In
the course of his travels, Signor .Blitz
was standing one lay in front of a hotel,
watching the movements of a clumsy 1
rishman, who was attaching some horses
to a'coach. The idea occurred to him to
have a little sport. The Irishman brought
out a fresh horse, and was about to put on
the harness, when the before supposed
dumb beast declared "lie would not start
on his journey until lie had his oats."
Pat started back, astounded at the speech
from -the horse, and recovering a little
from his astonishment, looking the brute
lull in the face, he exclaimed,
Aiidd you prelcad to say you hvn't
had yrr oats noo f
"Not a single oat, coolly replied the
horse.
Tat held up his hand in amazement,
;md cried, '
. Ycr a bloody liar, an so ycr are, for
Jemmy Dooglc gave you a rtcK if he
had an oat."
Still the horse flatly denied his having
the oats, and Pat, grcauy incensed, rushed
into the stable, Jemmy Doogfc! an' has
Hilly had no oats this morning ?"
. "Siiure he's had his peck." -
0 ! the lying divil an' he swears he
ha n't had tiie bloody one, at all !" -
The twinkle of the eye told how much
the ventriloquist enjoyed the joke.
An officer, returned from the wars, says
the K. O. Delia, who was at a social par
ly last evening, was boasting excessively
of his own personal valor and prowess.
Just as the wine-bottle came round to
him, he entered on rather a tedious narra
tive of an attack made on him at Bucna
Vista, by some Mexican soldiers, three of
whom he left dead at his feet, two of
whom fell wounded, and the remaining
two of whom, as an Irishman would say,
ran away. He was so intent on blowing
Lis own trumpet that he never though t of
passing the wine which stood before him
Half an hour having elapsed, and the tale
Xiot being then half told, his friend on his
right; impatient for the wine and of his
boastful story, stretching for the bottle
coolly called out "A little more grape,
Captain Bragg.'
Smaller Still.--The Trustees of
Saratoga village would not allow Tom
Thumb to give his exhibition without tax
ing him $25 per day lor a license. As
this was the first time that a license had
ever been charged for any exhibition in
Saratoga, the little General wrote a letter
to the Trustees, stating that he was satis
fied from their acts that Saratoro could
produce much tmaller men than himself
he should therefore most respectfully
decline coming in competition with those
who evidently had so much the advantage
of him in point of Hlltcntss.

AT PITTSBURGH.

rMHE object of llris establishment is
' lo sunnlv a want srreatlv feltbv re-
spectable travellers on our western high
ways by residents, without family, ta
ken sick and by patients from the sur
rounding towns and country who resort
lo this place for relief Irom surgical and
other diseases. Such have often suffered
from the want of the various comforls
and attentions so necessary and agreeable
to the sick, and from careless and un
faithful nurses; and been subjected to
heavy and unreasonable charges.
Invalids will here be provided with
constant, faithful and comfortable, atten
dance, snd at a rate much below the usu
al charjres. ,
While ihe care of both physicians will
be extended to every variety of disease,
it is intended by Dr. Speer, to give spe
cial attention to
ALL SURGICAL DISEASES,
PARTICULAKI.Y- to
DISEASES OF THE EYE.
To these branches of his profession
he has given a large share of his atlen
ion for the last iwcnty-five years, and
he will continue to devote to them the
experience acquired by a constant prac
tice during that lime.
The Hotel for Invalids is not an exper
imeiiL, Its establishment is suggested
not only as necessary to supply an evi
dent want in this city, in the entire ab
sence of any special provision for the
sick, but is warranted also by the success
of similar institutions at Cincinnati and
New Orleans the former under the care
of Drs. Taliaferro, Marshall and Slrader
the latter under that of Dr. Stone.
J The building selected for the purpose
is situated at ihe ccrner of Federal and
Robinson streets, in Allegheny city, ad
joining the city of Pittsburgh. Il is
commodious and roomy, anJ furnished
wiui an accommodations necessary for
he sick. '

fluenza, shortness of breath, pain and
weakness in the breasl or side, liver
complaint and firsl stages of consump

will cure Consumption in its very worst

WILD CHERRY wa designedby Na

will cure, if a cure be possible a medi
cine lhat science approves, and many
years of experience has demonstrated
that il always relieves.

tacked in February, 1812, with severe
cold, which immediately produced spit
ting of blood, cough, fever, and other
dangerous and alarming symplons
Through medical treatment and care she
partially recovered during the summer.
But on the return of winter she was at
tacked more violently than at first, she
became scarcely able to walk, and was
troubled with cough, chills, and fever
every day, and appeared to be going
rapidly with Consumption ; at this time,
when there was no sine of improvement,
Mr. Piatt procured a bottle of WIS
TAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHER.
RY, which she took, and il seemingly
restored her. She got a second, and be
fore it was half taken she was restored
to perfect health, which she has enjoyed
to the present time, without the slight
est symplons of her former disease.
The following we have jusl received
from Messrs. Fall, McCracken fc Co.
agents for the sale of Wistar's Balsam
of Wild Cherry, al Iancastcr, Ohio.
To the Public. feel it my duty as
an act of kindness to the afflicted, to in
form them what Wistar's Balsam of wild
Chcrrj has done for my daughter.-
There is many a parent who has given
up a beloved daughter or son, as a prey
to that fell destroyer consumption. They
have, as I have done, tried all the most
skilful and eminent physicians within
(heir knowledge, and all of the most
popular remedies lhat seemed to hold
out some hope for a continuance of life,
without getting any relief. JC7"To all
such who, like me. have been seeking
with trembling hope for some remedy of
real efficiency, I would pay, seek o
farther but try at or.ee Dr. Wistars Bal
sam of Wild Cherry. My daughter Sa
rah jane, aged 17 years, whose life for
months had been dispaired of, and was
supposed a sure prey lo consumption,
has been cured ; restored to perfect
health ; and that too by using fife bot
ilesof Dr. WIS PAR'S BALSAM OF
WILD CHERRY.
