    The '.overs
There was a candle man
Anil he was very old,
For it was thirty years or more
Since he began to mould.
lln bu.iness on his faee was wrote,
As plain although on paper;
Ilia long nose running to point,
Ton aure would call a Viper.
Anil flamelike plowed hii jo!ly fip,
For drinkir.g hard and at lifting
And made it red, and candle like,
It brighter grew by muffing.
A daughter fair he had, hut he
Was went to beat and starve bar;
aid she, "I'm sorry he's my pa,
But wish that he was farther."
And Cupid in her tender heart
An arrow dared to throw 1
As that alone would be no use,
He gave her, too, a beau.
Put when her lover claimed her haud,
The father did dispute;
Said he, "Your ashes I would take,
But I reject your suit."
So when the shades of night were spread,
He round the house would hover;
And though he was no warrior, yet
lie was a nightly lover.
My father's coining," cried the maid ;
"Oh ! lover, woe betide you
Tor he will cane yon, I'm afraid ;
Hut come with me, I'll hide you."
So in the boiler he was crammed,
His legs all cramped and bent ;
Cried he, "I have the topper got,
Though he has not the scent,"
And there he passed the sleepless heurs
Of that eventful night;
The time it passed so heavily,
He wished that it was light.
At early dawn to light his fir
The cross old follow came;
A Us ! for lover's constancy
He felt another Jlatn.
Oh ! maiden, maiden, could you now
Your lover's plight but see,
Your pa. for lover's sake you'd hate.
For JU-hoilcd he will be.
Oh' now within that boiler hot,
His every limb seemed frying ;
His situation you will say,
Indeed must have been trying.
Now fiomhis scat he starts ar.d scared
The old man not a little ;
Recover first yourself, old man,
Re-rarer then your kettle.
Ard speeding through the garden walks.
The outer gate he won ;
Sure, after surh a melting down,
No wonder he could run. Iijtt. Post.
Mokmons. Another of th Mormon Elders.
Mr. O. Otuey, has come out with a pamphlet ex
pose of what he terms "Spiritual IVifery at Nau
"0 " II endorses the statement of Smith with
leuard to the corruptions of their doctrine, and
mves as a eaoti for his own course in the mat
ter, lhat he expected to find Nauvoo a place of
peace and piety, but found it just the contrary,
lii igham Young says, (according to Onley's ac
count ):
"The Bible is no more to the people of this
feneration than a last year's almanac, for I am
the Bible needful for the people now, if they o
bey my counsel."
As some of our readers may rot be acquainted
with the "Spiritual Wife System," we will ex
lain. Whenever one of the F.lders or Apostles
takes a fancy to any of the women-folks, married
or single, a revelation is made to her that she has
been selected as a "Spiritual Wife," for the El
fler's tise ; ccnseqoently, no sin is committed.
It is stated that the Prophet Sot Smith, had se
lected no less than 13 of the most beautiful wo
men at Xauvoo as "Spiritual Wwt." This may
jeeount for Joe's widow renouncing Mormon
jsm and we are o:ily astonished that she had
:iot done 60 long ago.
Why thcy no not Lay. The reason why
bene do nut lay in the winter is said to be the
want of animal food, which they get in 6urnmcr
in abundance, in the form nf insects. An in
teliiyent editor in the West eays the reason is
that tliey havn'ttime, the dayB being so short.

My wile was stacked about six months since

hate inquired of me and ascertained what effect the
Balsam had, are anxious lo have some for sale in
this vicinity, which is the cause of rny w ritir g you.

Dear Sir I owe it to the afflicted to inform y. u
lhat in January at I was attacked by a very vio.
lent cold, caused by woiking in the water, which
seiueo on my lungn. u was accnmpsmcii ny a ve
ry severe pain in my breast snd fides, and also a
disiiessing cough. I had in attendance all the best
medical aid in our village; hut after exhausting all
their skill to no avail, ihey pronounced my di-ease a

gare me op to die. After much persuasion I got J
ihe consent nf my physician to use the BsLstM or I

chased of the Agepl in our place one buitle. before j
using half nf which I began to gain strength, and it
was very evident my cough wss murh better and
my symptoms in every way improving. I have
I now used three bottles, and orn restored to perfrct
health. This re-,,1, is al me owing ,o the Vc nf
DR. WIS I'AU'S B ALSAM OF WILD CHER,

llArnosrirtD, N. J., April 20, 1843.
On or about Ihe 13th day of October, 1811, I was
taken with a violent pain in the side near the liver,
which continued for about five days, and was fob
lowed ty Ihe breaking of an ulcer, or abscess, in
wardly, w hich relieved the pain a little, hut raused
me i.o throw up a great quantity of offensive tnattei
snd also much blood. Being greatly aUimed at
this, I applied lo a physician, but he said he thought
I i i I i . i-.. I e
I e rould ,lo but ht.le for m except give, me some
Mercury fills which I refused to lake, feeling
satisfied that they could do me no good ; many o-
llier rruieilies were then procured by my wife and
fi lends, but none did me any good and the ills,
charge of blood and coiruption still continued every
few days, and at last l-ecome so offensive thai I
could scarcely breathe. I w.a also seined with s vi.
olenl rough, which si times raustd me to raise
much more blood than I had done before and my
disease continued in this way, .till growing worse,
until February, when all hops of my recovery wa.
given up, and my fnetids all thought I would die
ofaG.iioriKo Cukscnptioh. At this moment,
when my life w. apparently drawing near its close,
I hesrd of DR. WlsTAR'S BALSAM OF
WILD CHELRY, snd got s bottle which se
litvfo mi iMMtniATSiT ; and by ths ue of only
three boltles of this medicine, all mv pains were
removed my cough snd spitting of blood snd cor
ruption entiiely stopped, snd in s few weeks my
health was so far re.toied ss lo enable me to work

Such is the unprecedented success of this BAL
SAM, "NATURE'S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION,"
s prescription congenial to our wants, as it is pie
pared from chemical extracta from substsneea which
the author of nsture hss placed in our own Und
for wise purposes, that many who know nothing
nf the mode nf its preparition are endeavoring to
reap pecuniary henefila by selling Bn Riticle similar
in name, or in Hptiearance, or bv representing their
own trash as superior to this BALSAM, or bv pin
ting up a mixture and a demnly asseverating that it
is imported from a foreign country, which is not the
case. All these deceptive aria goto show that'
Wistr's llm.ssM is known to ihe world lo be '
"Till: (; It FAT K.V-;)V." and that to ,-'

Tsttxr on ths Fsce and Head! the disease
commenced when I was seventeen vcars old, snd
continued until the Fall of 18H8, v'arving in vir
lence, but without ever disappearing. During most
of the time, great part of my face was covered with
the eruption, frequently attended with violent itch
ing; my bead swel'ed nt times until it h it ss if it
would burst the swelling wa so g'eat. that I couM
scarcely get mv bnt on. During the long period
that I was afflicted with Ihe disease, I used a great
many at plications, (among them several celebrated
preparation-) as w, II B inking inward remedies.

; a few applications the violent itching ceased, the
i swelling abated, the rrunti.in began to disappear,

, cured. It has now been nearly vear and a half
. since, and there is not a vestige f u,,, Jipa,,e

! by the disease. It is impossible for me to describe
j in a certificate the severity of the disease and my
