I find emrth's wi1 A friend in whose love I cm depend, Who, midst this world's changes will rem i in Ever firm and faithful to the cod. Far and near my apirit hath roamed. In search of a place where it might rest; Olten in despair it hath groaned. Dot never hath it been truly bleat. From place to place condemned to rove, From country, village, town to city; Forever and ever on the move. Without a SISJQ1S heart to pity. To-dy, the swift-gliding cars I take. To-morrow, I'm aboard the stages. The next upon the boisterous lake, I ait and pen my journal's pages. Anon upon the river's tame tide Where n-jble ateamera rapidly ply. And then upon the Ocean wide Where eilvery created watcra hie. With beautica bright in other lands I've list li'd tu music's softest atrain, Clasped their fair and jewelled hands And striven to love but all in vain. At home, abroad, where'er I've rambled. In vain I've sought lor a kindred heart, My spirit is still untrammelled, Still untouched by Cupid 'a wing'd dart. And thus I must wander o'er the track Thai !

No green-clad Oasis ever rise Within the barren waste that is 'round ; AJn ssffl-Iit hennty 'Tighten the skies, One dark Mack cloud on all sides is found.

So celebrated has Dr. M'Lane's Vermifuge become, that it ia regarded s the only specific cure tor worms. Families should never be without a supply of it. At this seaso:i parti cularly, when worms are so troublesome and frequent ly fatal among children, parents should be watchful ; and on the first appearance of those distressing symp toms which warn us of their presence, at once apply this power. ul aud eie-acious remedy. We are confident tavat it only requires a trial, to convince all that it rich, ly merits the praises that have been lavished upon it. I It is safe and infalliable. V olumes of certiiicates can be produced, showing its great medical virtues. IL Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr. Mc I Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge, and take none else. All I other Vermifuges, in comparison, are worthless.
