They cannot now playfully leap down the hill's ;
Snowy mountain and'valley alike are made hoary,
Jack Frost reigns triumphant, alone in his glory.
One nese, now and then, a lonely snow bird,
But dear robin redbreast no longer le heard
Warbling out a glad song to the praila of her
Maker, •

her.
Who suttee the dear bird; that they never get

Onr Father in heasen, be feeds them aright,
Till away In the bright sunny Solith they alight.
So long au the lofty old bilk+ shall remain,
And Spring renew `' their ' bright verdure

Our kind, loving Father Wall still fondly care
For the the Mild and the foils of thi
air.
Not a robbin or sparrow can fall to the ground,
Not s raven may cry but he heareth the sound ;
Then will not " our Father in heiven" be nigh,
And bless ue, dear children, when_ we too shall

DR. R. A. WILSON'S PILLS.
Having retired from the practice of medicine, I may be
permitted, to say, that it haa fallen to the Net of but Pew
persona to have enjoyed' so liberal or large a share of
obstetrical practice ae my own-has been for the last thirty
or forty years.. .
The esperfence of that long period of active life, and the
fact of my having been twisp„ since 1830, associated with
Dr. K. A. Wilson, 171 the practice of medicine, (In both a
Imbed of five years,) enables me to judge fully of themerita
of his pills.
Bo convenient, so efficient, and yet `so safe, did I esteem
these pills, that for the last five years in practice, for the
ewe of chronic diseases of whatever name. and those of
females in particular, I have used more of them than all
other medicines. Like every other medicine, these must
fail in lime instances, but in my bands there has been lees
disappointment and more satisfaction in the administration
of this (MO remedy than of ail others—its good effects
sometime" quite astonishing me.
• If 'my patient required a safe aperient medicine, either
before or after 'parturition, the WllBoll'l Pills were just the
thing I wanted.,
_„-
If a 46'14:little acid condition of the stomach, combined
with costivenesk, or inactivity of the liver, constituted the
disease of my patient, the pills were just the thing I
wanted.
If I treated-a case requiring an emmenagogue, the Wil
son's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
If palpitation, -headache, Rushed conitetteneowiir other
difficuitios indicating a disturbance of the circulatory and
secretory system!, annoYed my , patient at the turn of life,
the Wilson's Pills were jest the thing I wanted.
Thus, without respect to-the name a disease mighthappen
to wear at the time , I have hid it under treatment, particu
lar indications or symptoms,arising were always moat
- promptly and Most happilyinethii the Wilien's Pills.
'That so great a number of . diseases, and sometimes
apparently opposite ones, in which.l have used those pills,
should be cured more readily by; then, : thin .by any other
remedy, May at first seen' strange and'arntratifelfiry, but
why it is so, is as clear to my mind - that a grist many
persons should become, thirsty from, Rai many different
cansee;and yet all reiluiritb4stud greatist of all
blessings: water, to quench their
in conclusion, it is - due the repntstion off medicine and
the,public to.say, decidedly and unconditionally, that the
Wilson's, Pine are the only combinatiotrj have - ever met
with in My long tenni of practice that really' Phsedir any
thin wrathy° or specific for sick-headache.,;
