"Oar City Fathers."
nr suorrrEEL,Low
Dar& have sung IT inspiration ;
Pictured on the wings of fancy,
Portraits of enchanted circles,
By the powers of love and Cupid.
And the muses have selected
felieftians, Heorines and
Sung their vices and their virtues;
Handed down their names and aet ion;
INEade7 them elasie end ie)mortal.
As a subject well selected
Pen Jean, the youthful hero,
NV:to could play the gallant lover,
To the dark eyed mourish beauty,
To the pretty Poona
Cleopatra figures largely,
In a life of Princely scandal,
Captivates her Kingly lovers;
As a Earle mystic charmer.
And the wife of Bath, a lady,
Who but five times was a s Wow,
- Wooed and won like other maidens.
When at first, she entered wedlock ;
And who set her cap for lovers,
When in wantof future husbands.
Billy Patterson, the victim
Of some pugilistic papion,
• Struck—a hero and a martyr,
Of his age and generation.
But why should we sing of ancients 7
Why not sing of modern hems ?
Why not sing our songs as subjects;
• Subjects of our city fathers ?
Sing their vices—sing their virtues--
Sing our songs as worthy subjects,
They have virtues, so have kittens,
Long before their eyes nro open.
They have talents, yet unnoticed -
But our hope is in the future.
They have energies, prospective,
Kept for future operations.
They exhibit much discretion ;
Both In valor and in promptness.
In an ordinance, intended
To improve the public morals ;
They impose a fine on infants;
On our little school boy yelper.,
Which affords a manly contest;
When the choosers and the chosen
Are the same size, and are equal—
F;ach by precept, is a warrior;
iut by practice, nonresistant.
Each one favors volunteering,
Filling up our noble army,
With the last man, and his dollar,
If by chance he is conscripted;
Arid to poor to raise) "three hundred.'
But when urged to pay a bounty,
By nine-teuth of all their subjects,
Raised by tax upon the borough.
Thereby make the burden equal,
Thereby do our honest duty,
Thereby furnish our proportion,
Of the soldiers of the cation;
Anti our share of the expenees.
Then the feather seemed to whiten ;
Then they wished, and so do rebels,
"To be let a:one," brave council !
Almost every town and borough,
In our State and in our Country,
Levies taxes ; oilers bounties:
- Thus, affording some protection,
To the working population ;
And inducements to the soldiers,
Who enlist and tight our battles.
But alas ! our city lathers,
Noble heros of the future,
May be hoard from, when the trumpet
Calls for all, to thud judgment.
In their wisdom, they neglected
And refused to till our quota
"Let alone" the armed rebellion;
Just as rebels bed requested ;
Left, us in repudiation ;
In disgrace to be emiseripted—
Language fells to draw the picture;
Hope and fear in breathless silence ;
Ebbed and Sowed in every bosom ;
Till each saw the list of conscripts.
Some few of the rich were drafted,
Who with ease `shelled out' the greenbacks.
Others, who by patient labor, •
Had saved up a little pittance,
Have been striped, a gloomy future,
Sleepless nights and smothered sorrows,
Take the place of former pleasures;
Pleasures in anticipation,
Of a little home future.
Then the poor mau, shall I name him ?
Such as do not have the needful,
Dragged away to fight our battles,
From his wife, his home, his children,
Who, on leaving, is saluted,
'With a sneer, "how are you conscript ?"
All for what? to screen old fogies
And a few rich corporations,
From a debt, they owe their country,
From a debt, they owe the soldiers,
Who protect their homes and persons ;
Who protect their princely fortunes; •
And who fight our Nation's battles.
Striped, deserted, noble her , "
Knights of honesty and labor,
Victims of neglect inhuman,
Victims of our rich old fogies,
Of old fogies and their minions,
When you east a vote in future;
Voto for those who'll not desert you ;
Vote for men with mind fraternal;
Vote for those who's hearts are }mitten ;
Vote for these who's ears are shorter.
The colored troops are represented as
'being unaffected by the heat. Surgeon
Jackson, iu charge of the 4th Division
Hospital, sth Corps, reports that in that
division only forty men, out of more than
4,000, were unfit for duty when they
were put in front on 'Tuesday last, to re
kive the 2d Corps. This tends' toehow
bow much better they can endure the
scorch:erg rays of the sun than the white
troops.

REMOVAL or A TAPE Wortm.—One
of the most remarkable eases we have
ever heard of in medical practice, maw.
red in our borough, onthe - 26th - ult. It
cOusistO in the successful retneyal_of
what is ir.newt(-itt medical science as a
bothrfacephalus latus, from a patient by
the name of Theresa Ilerwedel, who is
in the employ of Mr. Valentine 4rney,
No. 13, West: Market St. Dr. John G.
F: Feistel, of New Salem, North Codorus
township, was the physician in atten
dance, and after considerable, careful at
, tendon. to the case, succeedel iu remov
ing the tape-worm whole, in a perfect
state, and measuring 7thictil feet ! The
time occupied.in effecting the removal
i was three hours. Strange to say the pa
tient was well enough on the following
day to resume her ordinary avocations.
!The monster is preserved in a bottle of
spirits and can be seen at any time at 31r.

return in the evening, also, one from this
city to Allen tow:villa. return. One more
is needel—from Reading to Columbia,
and return. Some, of our strict church
men object to Sunday travel, we know,
' but, we also know that men and women
who are closely confined within brick
walls all week, will go out on Sunday.—
uey will hire horses and carriages, for
recreation, or, they will go on foot, but
go they will. Now we ask, why not let
them have use of the irJu horse, to visit
Pottstown, Norristown, Philadelphia,
Bethlehem, Lebanon, Harrisburg, Eph

From the Re r. Levi G.-Burk, Pastor of
the Baptist Church, Pemberton, N. J.,
formerly of the North Baptist Church.
Philadelphia.
I have known Ilooflands's German Bit
ters favorably fora number of years. I have
used them in my own family, and have
been so pleased with their effects that r
WILY il/dlleed to recommend them to many
others, and know that they have operated
in a strikingly beneficial manner. I take
great pleasure in.thus publicly proclaim
ing this fact, and calling the attention to
those afflicted with the diseases for which
they are recommended to these Bitters
knowing from experience that my recom
mendation will be sustained. Ido this
cheerfully as Hoofland's Bittemjs intend
ed to benefit the afflicted, "net a rum
drink."
From Ilev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Edi
tor of the Et' cycl °petite of Religious Knowl
edge and Christian Chronicle Philadelphia.
Alt hongh not disposed to favor or reeont
mend Patent AI talielm% imgenerul, through
distrust of their ingredientsand eMets,
yet know of no stiffielent reasons why a
man may not testify to the ltenctits he
be
lieves himself to have received from any
simple preparation, in the hope that ho
may thus contribute to the. benefit of oth
ers.
I do this more readily in regard to Hoof
land's German Bitters, prepared by Dr (7
M Jackson, this city, because I was preju
diced against then' for many years, under
the impression that they were chiefly
1111 alcoholic mixture. I ant indebted to my
friend, Robert Shoemaker. Esq., for the
removalof this prejudiee by propertestsand
ti r;oneouragement to try them when suffer
ing from great and long continued debility
The use of three bottles of these bitters at
the present year, was followed by evident
relief:aid restoration to a degree of bodily
and mental vigor which I had not felt fur
six monthsbefore,and had almost despaired
of regaining. I therefore thank God and
my friend tbr directing mu to use them.
