NEW MEDICAL SALT! NEW MEDICALS ALT!
IT JS NOT A (JVRE-ALI/.
For Inflammatory Dituau Only!
Db. Ooowwxii’s Nrw UsnnuL Salt, instead of befog %
remedyfor aIUUa. hu control over but one ill, has but
one atm, and accomplishes but one tblng, to wit: Scbdoxs
I»vlajoixroar Diszaax, whatever b« its tern or locality,
whetherin tho head, throat, abdomen, extremities or akin.
The peculiar excellence of the N*w Mbhcal Salt is, that
without the useless loaa of blood and strength, it eflectuMly
cnreslxnaifhatobtDissaias(no other) byproducingaa
equilibrium of all the fluids In the body, the want of which
is the sole cause of Inflammation.
iSrvAuns, Tax* None*!! The following trains which tbe
unbalanced 'fluids, assume, and many not here mentioned,
that have more or leas fttrer, are as easily subdued by the
New Mkdioal Salt, as Are Is extinguished by water, to wit:
Brain fever, Headache, Bosh of Blood to the Bead and
Heart, fits. Inflamed Eyes, Ears and Noses Canker, Neu
roma, Spinal Affections, Erysipelas, Bronchitis, Pleurisy,
Asthma, Inflamed Longs and Liver, Heartburn, Coughs!
Dyspepsia, Venereal Diseases, Rheumatism, Pont, Scrofula;
Salt Bhoum, and all Itching and other cutaneous eruptions.
Da. CqoGgwnx’s Nrw Mdical Salt exerts, like the nc
cine nutter, eh extraordinary Influence on the veina and
arteries, resulting in a gradual decline of inflammation os
indicated by the poise, which soon resumes Us natural
state, as the heat, palh and fever disappear.
Da. Cogoswxll’s New Mkwoal Salt does Just what it
claims to do—no more, no less—equalizes the fluids, by re
moving from the system all arterial and venous obstruc
tions. Description circulars may be obtained Horn any
Druggist who has this valuable medicine for sale.

She is still sojourning amid distant scenes; but the echoes
of her worblings are baud With delight where the sweet

“Bird Songs” now.

We clip the following clever epistle
from the Philadelphia Press:
Apotheosis op Bonnes :—The great
est hit ever made in periodical literature
was the publication of the famous “ Chal
dee Manuscript,” written by the Ettrick
Shepherd, and extend, with considerable
satire and personality, by John Wilson
and J. G." Lockhart. ‘ This article offended
numerous readers of Blackwood ,« Maga- .
zirie, which it appeared, and led to a few
libel suits. Some persons objected to its
form, some to its satire. Eventually, how
ever, this very article, for which the pub
lisher felt hpuod to apologize at first drew
much attention to Blackwood , was the
foundation of its prosperity, and fiualy
became its boast. There have been many
imitations of it, but few successful. The
best appeared jn the Knickerbocker Maga
zine several years ago and had Lewis Gay
lord Clark,, Professor Mapes, and some
others of the same witty coterie, .for its
authors. A writer well known in this
city, by the soubriquet of “Samuel the
Scribe/ has fayored us with another imita r
(ion of the Chaldee Manuscript. It was writ
ten for the /Vesjis dedicated to the Readers
of the New York Ledger , (for whiohi, by
the way, it is said that Charles Dickens u
engaged to write a serial, running through
six months), and very cleverly enlarges
on the spirit of Mr. Bonner, the
of weekly newspapers. We append it: |

BIRD SONGS.
BT MISS LOUIS* 9. VIOKXOT
Laura, now the Summer’s over,
And the Summer birds have fled,
Listen, darling, and I’ll tell you
At their porting what they said.
for I sat in lonely musing.
While tho shadows deepen’d round,
Where-the autumn winds came walling,
With a low and dismal sound.
When I heard a pleasant twitter
•Midst the oak leaves waving high,
And just caught a little glimmer
Of light pinions rushing by.
And I saw the birds had gathered,
Flocks on flocks, among the trees,
And.had what they sold been language,
Then their words hod been like' those: —
“ Since tho frost has killed the flowers,
And the angry tempests say
That tho winter storms aro coming,
It is time to go away,
“ From this valley’s sweet seclusion,
And its many dear delights,
1 And tho woods that gave us shelter,
Through the summer nights.
“ jo the soil and sonny South-land
There to find a brighter home;
Where the sleigh-bells never jingle,
And |he snow-clouds never come."
Then I, listening more closely,
their separate voices tell
Of the sweet iuffti places,
Wherein each one im'ont to dwell.
The swallow knew a lolly place.
Beneath a dark blue sky,
a light-house by the sea-side reared
Its beacon high.
And iie sparrow of a cdfr nook,
A poor man’s iipme beside;
Ami the bluebird's eosile A tree,
In a forest wild and wide.
And the black-birds talked of rice fields,
On the. Carolina plains;
Bat the robins said, “When/cr we go,
We know the Father reigns.”
The thrashes know the “ttoMfat spot.
Far in a cypress grove;”
And the orioles, u an Mange bower,
In an atmosphere of love.”
So they scarcely seemed to sorrow,
As they bade the North good-bys,
But with joyous greetings, for the South,
They swept across'the sky.
Where there foils no chill nor frost-blight,
Nor tits shadow of tho tomb;
But the-boly plains forever wear
A fadeless Eden bloom.
0 may there be no sorrow
In my strain that bids fore well
To this life, but for the future,
Let a Joyous anthem swclL
For though death may dim the glory
Of the world we Journey through,
Heaven will bo always beautiful.
With birds, and flowers, and yon.

5. And immediately them Was great re
joicing throughput the land, for the New
York Ledger had been sown broadcast
among the inhabitants thereof.
d. Now Robert, whose name is Bonner,
said nnto himself, This thing! pleaSes me
mightily, and hence forth the Ledger «hwll
find an abiding place in every nook and
corner of tbe land, even in the isle of the
ocean.
7. And immediately there was gathered
into the fold of Robert, #hose; surname is
Bonner, tbe literati of the land.
8. Fanny, the fascinating, Sylvanus,
whose surname is Cobbj Lydia, Alice,
Emma, Phoebe, Emerson, whose surname
is Bennett, Timothy, John, William, Thos.
and George, the mighty poet of tho West,
all did write for the New York Ledger,
9. And Robert rejoiced with exceeding
great joy, for his pockets were filled with
shekels, and the Ledger freely,
prodigiously !
1. And it efime to pass in the reign of
James, the bachelor, that the maids and
matrons of the land and Edward, whose
surname is Everett, did counsel one with
the other concerning the purchase of Mount
Vernon on the Potomac, south of the line
called Masßu and Dixon’s.
2. And Edward said, I will straightway
prepare a lecture which shall melt the
people, and cause them to contribute their
mite unto the Fund called Mount Vernon.
3. Now Robert, whose surname is Bon
ner, when he heard those things, said unto
himself, I will gird on my buckler of bank
uCt§s and ehekles-and astonish the natives!
4. He accordingly said unto Edward,
Thy conduct commands /ny admiration;
write thou bat a single year for the Ledger
and ten thousand dollars currency of the
real in shall be thy reward.
6. And Edward said unto ■ Robert, i
accept thy gift offering to the fund called
Moont Vernon,- aJ}d will write for the
New York Ledger for tite space of twelve
months.
6. Now Robert was again madehaAty,
yea, thrice happy, for the Ledger did in
crease and multiply ten, yea twenty fold.
7- And it came to pass in those days
that certain scribes, sojourners in the land
of Uncle Samuel, became envious of the
success of Robert, and they dipped their
pens in gall and wormwood, and said “ how
are the mighty fallen !”
8. But Edward, the wise man of the
East, took no heed of their sayings, and
continued to write for the Ledger, '
9. And straightway the fiat of the peo
ple Went forth —Edward is wise and
. Robert is a il brick.”
OUAPTEB 111.
1. And it also came to pass in thoaic days
that Robert, whose surnaine is Bonner, had
a vision. |
2. And in that Vision there appeared
unto him an angel, bearing a scroll on
which was inscribed in letters ’of gold—
“ Bennex ! Geeely I! Raymond !I! ”
8. And Robert said unto bimself, The
Lion, the Lamb and the Fox shall lie
down together, and be enfolded in the
sheets of the Ledger.
4. Now, when the multitude heard these
things, they were greatly amazed, and
said one unto the other. Verily, the ways
of this man Bonner surpasseth our com
prehensions.
5. And Robert said unto the multitude,
Peace, be still, writ ye a little longer, and
“you shall see what you shad seel ”
6. And the multitude waited.;
7. And it came to pass on the second
day of the week, called Monday, that there
was great commotion throughout the land.
8. The Ledger had gone forth oh its
mission; the multitude threw up their
sombreros with joy, for the prediction of
Robert was verified.
9. Lo, and behold! the Lion/tbo Lamb/
and the Fox reposed lovingly together in
the Ledger. ! . /
10. And the neopie throughout the
length and breadth of the land, even the
dwellers in the land of the Jerries, shout*
ed with one accord; Bonner. is great, and
