ST £I.OAR ALLAN PM
Once upon a midnight dreary,
While I ponder'd weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious
Volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping,
Suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
Rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tin some visitiir," I mutter'd,
"Tapping at my chamber door—
Only this, and nothing more."
Ali, distinctly I remember,
It was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember
Wrought its ghost upon the floor,
Eagerly I wisli'd the morrow ;
Vainly I had tried to borrow
From my bunks surcease of sorrow—
Sorrow - for the lost Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden
Whom the angels name Lenore—
Nameless here'for evermore.
And the silken, sad, uncertain
Rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilfd me-1111'd me with fantastic
Terror. never felt before
So that now, to still the heating
Of my heart, I stood repeating
" some visitor entreating
Entrance at my chamber door ;
Some late visitor entreating
Entrance at my chamber door ;
This it is, and nothing more."
Presently my soul grew stronger ;
Hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly
Your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is 1 was napping
And so gently you came rapp i ng,
And so faintly you came tapping ;
Tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you,"-- , -
Here I open'd wide the door:
Darkness there and nothing more I '
Deep into that darkness peering,
Long I stood thorn wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal
Ever dared to dream before ; ---
But the siLenee was unbroken,
And the darkness ;are no token,
And the only word there spoken
Was the whispeed word "Lenore I"
This I whisper'd, and an echo
Illumined back the word, "Lenore I'
Merely this, and nothing more.
Then into the chamber turning,
All my soul within me burning,
Soon again .1 heard a tapping
Somewhat louder than before.
"Surely," said I, "surely that is
Something at my window lattice ;
Let me see, then, what thereat is,
And this mystery explore—
Let nis heart be still a moment,
And this mystery explore
" 'Tis the wind and nothing more 1"
Open here I flung the shutter,
When, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepPd a stalely raves
Ot the saintly days of yore.;
Not the least obeisance made he ;
Nut an iestant atopp'd or stay'd he;
But with mien or lord or lady,
Pereh'd above my chamber door—
Pereh'd upon a bust of Pallas
Just ab . ove my chamber door—
Purch'd and sat, and nothing wore.
Then this ebony bird beguiling
My sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum
'Of tlie countenance it wore ;
t "Though oti th . thy
,a ers r t t ur b s es c n hor o n c a ra nd ve s n haven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven,
Wandering front the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly nameis
On the Night's Plutonian shore I"
quoth the raven, "Nevermore."
Much I marvell'd this ungainly
Fowl to hear discurse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning—
Little relevancy bore ;
For we cannot help agreeing
That no living human being
liver yet was blessed with seeing
Bird above his chamber door:—
Bird or beast upon the sculptured
Bust above his chamber door,
With such name as "NevermOre."
But the raven sitting lonely
On the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in
That one word he did outpour,
Nothing further then he utter'd—
Not a feather then he flutter'd—
Till I scarcely more than mutter'd
"Other friends have flown before—
On the morrow he will leave me,
As my hppes have flown before,"
Then the bird said "Nevermore."
Startled at the stillness brsken
133 reply so aptly spoken,
"Doubtless," said I, "what it titters
Is its only stock aad store
Caught front some unhappy master
Whom unmerciful Disaster
Follow'd fast and follow'd faster,
Till his songs one burden bore—
Till the dirges of his Hope the
Melanchaly burden bore
Of "Nevermore t "—of "Nevermore
But the raven still beguiling
All my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I who el ' d eashion'd sent in
FrZ;nt of bird, and bust and door ;
Then upon the velvet sinking,
I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking
What this ominous bird of yore—
What this gritn, ungainly, ghastly,
Gaunt and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking "Nevermore."
This I sat engaged in guessing,
But no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now
Buried into my bosoms core ;
This and more 1 sat divining,
With my head at ease reclining
On the cushion'd velvet lining
That the lamplight gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining
With the lamplight gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, never more.
Then, methought, the air grew denser,
Perfum'd from an unseen censer,
Swung by angels whose faint foot-falls
Tinkled on the tufted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, “Thy God has lent thee
By these angels he bus sent thee
Respite—respite and nepenthe
From thy memories of Lenore.
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe,
And forget this lost Lenore I"
Quoth the raven "Nevermore."
"Prophet I" said I, "thing of evil !
Prophet still, if bird or devil I
Whether tempter sent, or whether
Tempest toned thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted,
On this desert laud enchanted
-Ott this home by Horror haunted—
Tell ate truly ; 1 implore—
Is there—ix there balm is Gilead ?
Tell me—tell me, I implore I"
Quoth the raven "Nevermore."
"Prophet 1 4 said I, "thing of evil—
Prophet still, if bird or devil
Dy that heaven that bends above us—
By that God we both adore—
Tell this soul with sorrow laden
If, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden
Whom the angels name Lenore—
Clasp a tare and radiantmaiden
Whom the angels name Lenore—"
Quoth,the raven "Nevermore."
"Be that word our sign of parting,
Bird or fiend I" I shriek'd upstarting—
" Get thee back into the tempest
And the Night's Plutonitin shore
Leave no black plume as a token
Of that lie thy soul bath spoken
Leave my loneliness unbroken !
Quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart,
And take thy form from off my doorl"
Quetta the raven "Nevermore."
And the raven, never flitting
Still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas
Just above my chamber door,
And his eyes have all the seeming
Of a demos that is dreaming,
Aud the lamplight, o'er him streaming
Throws his shadow on the flour
And my soul from out that shadow
That lies floating on the floor
Shull be lilted—nevermore I
facts faitcies.

Setting Fence Posts.
Many methodsare recommen led for se s
ting fence posts, but in cases where firm
ness and durability are especially desira
ble, I know of none superior to the follow
ing: Having selected your posts, remove
the bark from the lower ends, and char
them ; then finish the whole as you prefer
to have them appear when set. The holes
for their reception should never be less
than eighteen incites in diameter, and
three and one-fourth feet deep, nor should
there be any diminution of the size of the
post beneath the soil. The larger the
posts are in that part, the more firmly will
they set. To supply the material for fil
ling in, take common lime, one part, and
house ashes, one part, pulverised charcoal,
one part, and coarse gravel six parts; slack
the lime with water in which half a bushel
of salt to one barrel of the former has Leen
dissovled, and mix the materials intimate.
ly till the mass is of the consistency of
mortar, then throw in a few shovelsful to
constitute a bedding, and having set the
post in the requisite position commence
filling in.
Where the fence is to be ornamented or
I I very strong and high, and where swaying
from the effects of powerful winds, or other
causes, is to be specially guarded against,
the introduction of small atones, or chips
of granite, before the cement hardens, will
be found very desirable. These should be
thrown in as the process of filling proceeds,
and rammed down to increase the solidity
of the mass. This cement is one of the
most efficient antiseptic mixtures known
when applied to wood beneath the soil. It
hardens to the solidity of the firmest gran.
ire, and will neither break nor crack. In
finishing off the filling in, care should he
taken to give a slight elevation to the mass
immediately in contact with the post, ris
ing some four or five inches in the form of
a pyramid, to prevent the water standing
upon it, which would accelerate the de
composition and decay of the post. Posts
inserted in this way will always retain an
erect position, and endure for ages.

MEDICAL ADVERTISEMENTS.
GREATEST MEDICAL DISCO
VERY OF THE AGE.
Dr. Kennedy, ot Roxbury, had discovered in one
ot our common pasture weals a remedy
that cures
2WEEO MED OR an ©©a
the worst scrofula down to a common pimple.
He has tried it in over 1100 cases, and never
failed except in two eases, (both tt under humor.)
He has now in his possession (wee two hundred
certificates of its viatue, all within twenty miles
of Boston.
Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing
sore mouth.
One to three bottles will cure tl e worst kind
of Pimples on the face.
T oor three bottles will clear the system o
Biles.
Two bottles are warranted to care the worst
case of Erysipelas.
Ono to two bottles are warranted to cure all
humor in the Eyes.
Two bottles are warranted to cure running of
the ears sod blotches among the hair.
Four to six bottles are warranted to cure cor
rupt and running ulcers.
One bottle will cure scaly eruption of the
skin.
Two to three bottles are warranted to curs the
worst case of iingworm.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the
most desperate case of rheumatism.
Three to four bottles are warranted to cure the
salt rheum.
Five to eight bottles will cure the worst case
of scrofula.
A benefit is always experienced from the first
bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the
above quantity is taken.
Reader, I peddled over a thousand bottles of
this in the vicinity of Boston. I knew the effect
of it in every ease. So sure as water will extin
guish fire, so sure will this care Imam.. I never
sold a bottle of it but that sold another; after a
trial it always speaks ftw itself. There ore two
things about this herb that appear to me surpri
sing ; first that it grows in our pastures, in some
places quite plentiful, and yet its value lots rover
been known until I discovered it in 1846—second
that it should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some islets of the sudden rise
and great popularity of the discovery. I will
state that in April, 1853, I peddled it and sold
about six bottles per day—in April, 1854, I sold
over one thousand per day of it.
Some of the wholesale Druggi:ts who hove
been in business twenty and thirty yours, say
that nothing in the annuls of patent medicines
was ever like it. Th. re Is a UlliVol,lll praise of
it (rein all quarters.
In ray own practice I always kept st strictly for
hunters—hut since its introduction as n general
family medicine, great tut wonderful virtues
have been Toned its it that I never suspected.
Several eases of epileptic its—a disease which
was always considered incurable, have been cu
red by a few bottles. 0. what u mercy it it will
prove enctual in all cases of that dreadful mai
, ady—there are bat few who have more of it than
I have.
I know of several cares of Dropsy, nll of whom
aged people cured by it. For the various disco
sew of the Liver, Sisit Ileaduche, Dyspepsia,
Asti's., Fever nod Ague, Pain in the Silo, his
' eases of the Spine, and particularly in diseases
of the Kidneys, Sc., the discovery has done more
good than say medicine over known.
Na change of diet ever necessary—eat the best
I you can get and enough of it.
