The Story of a King.
DEDICATED TO AN EMPEROR.
"What are those people reading?"
Said, Frederick, half aloud,
While, standing by i he window,
lie saw an eager crowd.
High on a wall adjoining
A paper had been stuck;
The people stood on tip-toe
To read, with wonder struck.
One of his six-foot guardsmen
Who heard him, answered, "Sire,
Your majesty permitting,
I hasten to enquire."
Soon, flushed" with indignation,
The guard returned "1 tec
Tis an atrocious libel
Upon your .Majesty!"
The King took out his snuff-box,
With more of smile than frown
"A libel, my good fellow 1
Well, go," and take it down."
"Yes, Sire!" "Friend, slop a moment
'You'll take it down, indeed;
But just to" place it lower,
So ail with ease, may read."
'Tis done around the soldier
Amazed the people stand.
And question of his doings
"Tis by the King's command!
"lie cares not what is written,
Or .said, by friend or foe,
Content to ask his people,
Are these things true or no?"
They spurned away the libel;
Its words U-.ul lost their weight;
A thunder rolled tc heaven
"Live Frederick the Great!"
Now, this was not the weakness
Ufa good-natured too!
It was the manly wisdom
Of one that knew to rule.
Thou wiio to France hast given
lier former power and giury,
Complete thy own, by taking
The moral of my story.
.Trust in thyself and people
In tines and prisons less
To make all libels harmless,
Give freedom to the Pressf'
Sukcy Sciiih.
Miss Sukey Smith had ilaxen hair,
Her daddy had the pewter,
Her eyes were gray, and looked serene,
Upon her favored suitor.
That suitor was a jolly youth,
So nimble, lithe and brawny;
The yellow fever took him oil"
Away to Call for ny.
And when I he;rd that he was gone,
' It's now," said I, "or never!"
I shav'd myself and greased my shoes,
And tried to look right clever.
I rigged myself from top to toe,
And caught and mounted Dobbin,
But all the way, I rode along,
My heart it kept u throbbin'
And when I reached her daddy's house,
It still kept up a thumpin',
But when i saw the lovely maid,
It kinder stopped a jumpin.'
'Tvvas half-past ten, when at her feet,
1 knelt, and yet, ere dinner,
With honeyed speech and winning ways,
1 had contrived to win her.
Some mouths elapsed to set the day,
I now beiraii to iiress her
1 urged, entreated, plead in
In -vain did I caress her.

While matters were thus cross and pile,
ly clothes all growing seedy,
My rival from the mines returned,

kinder sitile up
And slip his arm around her;
When, heavni and earth! she let "him kiss
Tueui precious lips! Confound her!
I told her that I was surprised
My eyes had sure deceived me
And asked her to renew her vows,
And from suspense relieve me.
"When, don't you think, the tarnal

Her lingers wriggling, as she said:

Helmbold's highly concentrated COMPOUND FLUID
EXTRACT iJUChU, for diseases of the bladder and
kidneys, weaknesses, and all diseases of the sexual or
gans, whether in male or female, from whatever cause
they may have originated and no matter of how long
standing. The Fluid l'xtract Uuehu" has been pro
nounced by eminent Physicians as the greatest remedy
ever known. It is a medicine uirfeetlv nleas:int i:i it
taste and very innocent in its action, and yet so tho
rough that it annihilates every particle of Disease.
An infalible remedy, and as a'medicine which must
benefit everybody, from the simple delicate to thecon
fjned and desparing invalid, no equal is to be found,
acting both as a cure and preventive.

For purifying the Blood, removing all diseases arising
from an excess of Mercury, exposure and imprudence
in life, chronic constitutional disease, arising from
an impure state of the Blood, aud the only re
liable and effectual known remedy for" the
cure of Scrofula. Salt Rheum, Scald Head,
Ulcerations of the Throat and Legs, pains
and swellings of the Bones:. Tetter,
Pimples on the Face, and ail Scaly
Eruptions of the Skin.
This article is now prescribed by some of the most
distinguished Physicians in the country, anil has proved
more efficient in practice than any preparation' of
Sarsaparilla yet offered to the public. Several cases
of secondary Syphilis, Mercurial and Scrofulous dis
eases have entirely recovered in the incurable wards of
our Public Institutions which Lad for many years re
sisted every mode of treatment that could lie devised.
Those cases furnish striking examples of the salutary
effects of this medicine in arresting some of the most
inveterate diseases, after the glands were destroyed
and the tames already affected.

Professors of several Medical Colleges, am. certificates
