In composition with the loss of a ivife, all other bereavements are trifling. The wife! she who fills so large a space in the domestic heaveu; she who busied 'herself so unweariedly for the precious ones around her; bitter, bitter is the tear that falls on her cold clay. You stand beside her coffin and think of the past. It seems an amber-colored pathway,wherc the sun hone ttpca beautiful flowers, or the stars hung glittering overhead. Fain would the soul linger there. No thorns are re membered save those your hauls may unwillingly have planted. ffer tender heart lies open to your' inmost sight. You think of her now as all vin tleness, all beauty, all purity. But she is dead l The dear heart that laid upon your bosom rests in the still darkness upon. a pillow of clay. The hands that have ministered so untiringly are %bled, white, and cold, beneath the gloomy portal. The heart whoie every beat measured an eternity of love lies under your feet. The flowers she bent , over with miles bend now above her in tears, shaking their petals,• that the verdure around her may be kept green and beau tiful There is no whitd arm over your shoul der, no speaking face to look up into the eye of love; no trembling lips to murmur —"Oh, it is too Sad I" There is so strange a hush in every room; no light footsteps passing around. No smile to greet you at nightfall. And the old clock ticks and strikes, and ticks —it was such music when she could bear it: Nov it seems a knell on the hours through which you watched the shadows of death gathering upon her sweet face. . family of five persons resided up on a farm in Derry, N.

It is a concentrated extract of -Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford nn effec tive antidote for the diseasei Sarsaparilla is rcputed 'to cure. It is believed that. such a 'remedy is wafted by 'those who stiffer from StruMous' complaints, and. that one which Nvill accomplish their cure must prove of immense service to this large class of our afflicted fellow- . citizens. How completely this compound via do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found of the following complaints: " ' SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS • CONIPLAINTS, ,BILCPT/ON'S AND EILIJI"TIVE DISEASES, ULCERS, PIMPLES, BLOTCHES, TUMORS, SALT RIIP.UM, SCALD HEAD, SYPIIILIS AND SYPHILITIC AP PECTIOZIS, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY, NEC nAtat.t.

ANTHONY'S TIRE, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from Inrtntrrx or THE This compound will be found a great pro moter of health,'when taken in the spring, to expel the . foul humors which fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the time ly expulsion' of them many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of • the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy 'better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Neep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go Wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordercd,oroverthrown. Sarsaparilla and deserves much, the reputation of accomplishing these ends. But the world- has been egregiously deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for it, but more because many preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else. During late years the public have been mis led by large bottles, pretending to give n quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa rilla, but often no curative properties whatev er. Hence, bitter mid painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is . justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend ed to cure. In order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should be'judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle. PREPARED BY DR. I. C. AlirElZ•Zic Co. . LOWELL, MASS.
