'E P., 1 whose port-folio appears especially
rich in ' negro-songs,' sends us the lo Bowing,
i'e savs i.: an interesting note to the Editor:
" You can never know how really exquisite they
are, until you hear the music to which they are
indi'ssolubty united. I give it to ycu precisely
as it was originally composed by the Ethiopian
improvisatore." It is called
*De Ole Cray Boss.'
' i went down to de ribber,
An' I could n't git across.
An' 1 gib fifty cents
Fur an ole gray boss,
De ole gray hoss he mired in de san\
An' de way dis nigger did grabble fur do ,ar.
Oh ! whar did you kuiu fum,
Hum fu:n, ku::i fum.

An' cause dis nigger to grabble fur de lan'.
Oh ! whar tiii you tun futn,

' An* w'en I got ober

Oh ! whar did you kum fum,

We a3mlt that there i a good deal of pathos,
and not a little humor, in some of the negro
songs. There is a good deai of the first named
qua.ity in the stanza of
'Uncle led/
' Dere was an old nigger and his name was
Uncle NED
Oh ! he lived long ago, long ago :
And he had no wool on de top oh his head,
On de place where de wool ought to grow.
Old NED had fingers like de corn in de brake,
And he had no eves for to see,
And he had no leef for to eat tie corn-cake,
So he had to let du corn-cake be.'
The negro-poet is always descriptive. Wit
ness this picture of a big foot:
• An' w'en dis foot come on de groun',
* F was death to de crcepin' insects roun' ;
It waked de lizzards. scared de moles,
And make de wood-chucks leve dere holes '
Oh! git out de way,' etc.,
A friend tells us that he heard the annexed
verse, among others, sung to a wild chorus at a
colored campnieeting in Alabama, some two
years ago :
' Chae de DFETL around de stump,
Hit him a kick at every jump !
I>e DI.BIL'S mad, and I nm gl3d ;
He's lost de one he tought he had! 1

My Vegetable Worm Powders.
This is the mo.-t wonderful Worm Destroyer ever
; known, and at the same time, so pleasant to take, that
almost ever> 1 hild will 1 fond of it. ind many instances
j hav, be-11 known of children crying far more after once
; taking it.
Th!:' medicine is in the form of a powder, the only
iiiftln ine ever used in that form, and it operates on a
print i,emir !y different from any other medicine ever
admirii-tereil by ai y other physician. I; Is the only
mealicine which has no Worin-s -ed Oil or Turpent'-e
; coin:.med witii it, whn h is believed by all other physi
cians, to be ihe only two things which will destrov
worm., and llnse two things combined, together with
castor oil, are the active principle* of all other worm
medicines, which every person who has ever tasted or
J smeiled, knows to b : tlie in .st nauseous of all nauseous
medit iiu.-s, ami 011 account of which, there is generally
something added to destroy this nauseous taste, and in
order to do To., it niti-t be something stronger than the
medicine itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destruj
1 some of its medicinal properties. These powders are
: simple and so tirrmless, that a child may est a whole box
j at once, and it will not be hurt, while at the same time,
1 1 he-prim iple upon which it acta being different from any
thra else 1 ver used, it v\ ill destroy ail kinds of Worms
i with a certainty n-ver equaled. It will not only destroy
i the scat worms, or Ascaridt-e, and long, round worms, or
j Teres, but is the most effectual medicine for the destruc
i tion of the Tape Worm ever known. Ten dosus have
; brooch' as mntiy as FIVE Tape Worms froai one person.
If your children have any syniptoirs of worms, try
I these powders, and in nine cases out of ten, you will nev
er Use amcnther. These are also warranted.
Tims - medicines ~re all separate, and one for each dis
| ease, ar.d each for only one disease. They are not re
j cotntrieiidr-d, as many other medicines are, to cure some
bf ■ ti or tv>. tit . disease. and all of different natures,
j hut thev are each *o core but one disease, arid ibut they
will do in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred, eno
where they have a fair trial fail in all cases, the
j money wili be returned.

Laxcster. April 10, 18BP.
Respected Sir: 1 have bpen for a series of years afflict
ed with Dyspepsia, Inactivity of the Liver, and Nervous
Debility. My mental powers have been so reduced as
to render we quite unfit for the transa. lion ofanv kind
of business. After consulting many eminent physicians,
and using their prescriptions, and after using the most
popular remedies of the day, supposed to be applicable to
my case, 1 always failed to have permanent relief. A
friend, with touth persuasion, induced me to try a bottle
of your celebrated Buteis. 1 have used one bottle,and
this day commenced the second. 1 can witlnh, e ful
ne* suite lht u lias happily improved me. Mi appe
tite and spirits have astonishingly* improved,and 1 begin
to feel as though I hud grown (ftidd.nl;.) ten years
younger, and really, I am almost prepared to sav that I
now consider myself calculated for any business, Idle,
ten days ago, 1 would have as soon undertaken to s jacrs
a circle as to have attempted it.
Yours respectfully, A. A. KAUFMAN.
To Dr. C. M. Jackson,
I2J Arch street, Philadelphia.
The Editor of "Scott's Weekly Paper," ens of tfco
largest literary and family newspapers published in Phiii
ad.lphia, says: "
" Dr. Hoofland's German Kilters, manufactured by Dr
Jackson, are now recomtnenj.-d by sonte of ihe wort
prominent members of the faculty, as an article ofxuuth
efficacy in cases of fehicie weekne.-. As such is the
case, e would a.lv ise all mothers to obtain a bottle, ard
thus save themselves much sickness. Persons of debili
tated constitutions will find ihcse bit.ers advantaged a
to their health, as we know from expe*:ei.ce the salutary
effect they have upon weak systems."
That this wed.ci ie will cure Liver Complaint and Dvs
pepsia.no one can doubt after using it as directed, it
a.-ts specifically upon the stomach and liver ; it is prefer
able to calomel in zll biliovi d istares —the effect is iinn.e
uiuie. They can he administered lo femalsor ixfast
with safety and reliable benefit, at any time.
Bware of Couatcrfeiis!
This medir'ae has attained that high character which
i* necessary for alt medicines to attain to induce roun

lives of those w lit. are innocently deceived.
