CHOICE POETRY.
My Little Daughter's Shoes.
Two little, rough-worn, stubbed shoes,
A plump well-trodden pair;
With striped stocking thrust within,
Lay just beside my chair.
Of very homely fabric they,
•
A hole is in each toe,
They might have cost, when they were new,
Some fifty cents or so.
Aiiil yet this little worn out pair
Is richer far to me
Than sll the jewelled medics are
Of Eastern luxury.
This mottled leather, cracked with use,
Is satin in my sight;
These little tarnished buttons shine
With all a diamond's light..
Search through the wardrobe of the woild'r
You shall not find me there,
So rarely made, so richly wrought,
So glorious a pair !
And why T Because they tell'of her,
Now sound asleep above,
Whose form is moving beauty, and
Whose heart is beating love.
They tell me of her merry laugh ;
Her rich whole-hearted glee ;
Iler gentleness, her innocence,
And infant purity.
They tell me that her wavering steps
Will long demand my aid ;
For the old road of human life
Is very roughly laid:
High hills and swift descents abound ;
And, on so rude a way,
Feet that can wear these coverings
Would surely go astray.
Sweet little girl ! be mine the tusk.
Thy feeble steps to tend !
To be thy guide, thy counsellor,
Thy playmate and thy friend !
And when my steps shall faltering grow,.
And thine be firm and strong,
Thy strength shall lead my tottering age
In cheerful peace along !
HUMOROUS
A Good Story.
AN Escarp.—We have seldom been
more amused than we were by a story
related by one of our police officers.—
A man by the name of Wm. H. Sparks
has for a long time been under arrest for
a high crime. The case, after lingering
along from term to teirn, was finally dis
posed of at the late session, by an order
from the court to enter a nolle p osequi.
Officer House, who is a shrewd fellow,
told the Judge that it would be better
not to tell Sparks that he was discharg
ed, but get rid of him entirely. The
business being entrusted to him, House
whispered to officer Kenyon, who at once
took the hint. Sparks came into court
dressed off in a fine suit of clothes, and
looked very much like a gentleman.—
Kenyon took him by the arm, and said :
" You can't be tried yet, so we will
go back to jail."
Going down stairs, Sparks said
" What do you think they will do with
me I"
" Why,"'enid K., "they will give you'
ten years."
"That is what I expect," replied lie.
"Can you run, Bill 1" inquired K.
Run," said he, "just give me a
chance and see."
" Well, now Bill, you start and I'll
run after you, but will not overtake you
and then I'll tell them you escaped."
No sooner said than done; off went
Sparks as fleet as a deer. K. jumped
on the steps and laughed heartily, ex
claiming:
" Good gracious, see him run! see
him run!"
And then he would laugh as if his
sides would crack. In the meanwhile
away went Sparks, and was finally out
of sight. Presently the officer scratch
ed his head and slapped his thigh.
" There," said he, "wasn't I a fool to
let that fellow go 1 He's gone off with
Adam Goodfellow's new suit of clothes
on, by thunder !"
The scamp had borrowed Adam's suit
to appear in at the trial.—S'yraceus Star.
fa• We read the following anecdote,
fur the truth of which we will notvouch :
"A country schoolmaster, one clay,
announced to his pupils that arr exami
nation would soon take place. "If you
are examined in geography," said he,
"you will surely be asked of what shape.
is the earth; and if you should not re
member, just look at me., and I will show
you my snuff-box, to remind you that it
is round."
Unfortunately, the schoolmaster had
two snuff boxes; a round one, which he
only used on Sunday, and a square one,
which he carried during the week.
The fata: day having arrived, the class
in geography was duly called out and
the question asked "what is the shape
of the earth I"
The first boy, appalled at the impo
sing appearance of the examining com
mittee, felt embarrassed and glanced at
the' mayister, who at once pointed to
his snuff-box.
` , Sir," boldly answered the boy, 'tis
round on Sunday, and square all other
days in the week.' "
()tr. 'John, how many seas are there in•
America 1'
'One—Tennes•see.'
'Good—how many are there in halt!'
'The same number poesactly, sir, the
Papal see!' _ . _
'You can go out to play, Johnny.'
Oz Would you touch a nettle with
out being stung by it 1 take hold of it
stoutly. Botha same to other annoy
ances, and few things will ever annoy
you.

and my hopes of recovery leseening as my die

my pain , . severe; and, extremely debilitated, I
lost all ambition in life, and gave up to a melan

Notwithstanding all this skill, I grew woree, I ut

ing the many expedients resorted to for 'the par- -
pose of draining money from the afflicted, I hes- •
Rated. My friends, however, insisting, I:was.
prevailed upon to try its virtues. I commenct:ij
taking the Syrup about the first of March, and
used several bottles before I had any conidence
in it. I then began to experience a change for.
the better, and continued it till I had consumed.
ten bottles, when I was so far relieved as to be
able to visit Dr. Sehneek in Philadelphia. He
examined me, arid pronounced my right lung sr
fected, but in a healing con lition. lie recom
mended the further use of the Syrup, which I
continued till I consumed 15 bottles, and found
myself once more restored to health. I will fur
ther add, that the consulting physician, seeing the
action of the medicine, fully approved its use.
To give the reader some idea of the severity
of my case, and the roptd cure affected by the
Syrup, I will plate that my usual weight in
health was 177 pounds, which was finally re
duced by my sufieringe to but 121 pounds. Yet,
on the first of this month, (September,) 1 weigh
ed 174 pounds, thus gaining in a few months 53
pounds, and within three pounds of my heaviest
weight. It is not in my power to convey, in the
hurt apace of this certificate, the convincing
proofs of my remarkable cure, or the particulars
of the at,oniaing afflictions through which I have
passed; but to those who will take the trouble to
call on rne, at Bristol, opposite Pratt's hotel,
shall take pleasure in detailing (very particular.
In conclusion, I deem it my duty to urge upon
every person who may have the premonitory
symptoms of this fatal disease, not to delay one
hour,but to call upon Dr Schneck immediately.
His skill In the treaunent of this complaint, and
prompt detection of diseased parts of the lungs
by means of his Stethescope, added to my own
miracu'ous cure, fully sat isfies me, that had I cru
ller submitted myself to his core, I should have
escaped much suffering ; but restrained by doubts
and suspicion, which make us all naturally skep
tical in regard to the virtues of a medicine when
first introduced. I resisted the importunities of
my friends till almost too late ; and yielded only
as a last resort, resolved to " kill or cure." 'l'o
those afflicted ae 1 have been, again let are say,
hesitatt no longer, my own case is presented to
you as convincing evidence, that when all else
fails your last hope is in Dr, Schneck's Pu Imonic
Syrup. I have also for the satisfaction of those
who may he strangers to me, appended to this cer
tificree the names of gentlemen well known in
the walks of public and private life, and whoso
standing in society admits of no cavil or doubt in
regard to their testimony,
CHARLES (3. JOIINSfIN.

Pulmonic Syrup, and have every reason to be
