For a number of-rears I have suffered un told agony from the effects of blood poison". I ' had my cse treated by several prominent physicians, but received but little, if any, re- j lief. I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines, spending a large amount of money 'but yet getting no better. My attention wa9 attracted by the cures said to have been affected by B B.B., and I commence taking it merely as an cxperi- . ment, having but little faith in Jthe results. To my utter surprise I sooii commenced to improve, and deem myself to-day a well and hearty per son all owing to the excellent qualities of B. B. B.

On board that ship a Go I of mercy then Had placed a dog among those cruel men. Like me, he shunned his brutal kicks and blows. "We soon grew friends, true fiiends, God knows. He was Newfoundland. Black they called him there. His eyes were golden brown, and black his hair.' He was my shadow from that blessed night When we made frieuds; and by the star s half- lignt, When all the forecastle was fast asleep, And our men " caulked their watch, I used to creep With Black among some boxes stowed on deck, And with my arms clasped tightly round his neck, fused to cry aud cry, and press my head Close to the heart grieved by the tears I shed. Night after night I mutinied our piteous case, While Blacks large tongue licked my tear stained face. Poor Black 1 I think of him so often still 1 At first we had fair winds our sails to fill, But one hot night, when all was calm und mute, Jor skipper a good sailor, though a brute Gave a long Iook o'er the vessel s side, Then to the steersman whimpered,, half aside, See that ox-eye out yonder?
