THE ANGEL'S WHISPER.
*Y SAMUEL LOVER.
A superstition of great beauty prevails in !
Ireland, that, when a child smiles in its sleep,
It is ‘'talking with the angels.”
A baby was sleeping,
Its mother was weeping.
For her husband was far on the wild raging sea,
And the tempest was swelling,
Round the fisherman’s dwelling,
And she cried, “Dermot, darling, oh! carne
back to me.”
Her beads while she numbered,
The baby still slumbered,
And smiled in her face, as she bended her
knee;
Oh! blessed be that warning,
My child, thy sleep adorning.
For I know that the angels arc weeping with
thee.
And while they are keeping
Bright watch o’er thy sleeping,’
Oh, pray to them softly, my baby, with me,
And say thou would’st rather,
They’d watch o’er thy father,
For 1 know that the angels arc whispering
with thee.
The dawn of the morning
Saw Dermot returning,
And the wife wept with joy her babe’s father
to see,
And closely caressing
Her child, with a blessing,
Bald, “I knew that the angels wire whisper
ing with thee.”
--
In a Fix.—An American at Paris went
to a restaurant to get his dinner. Unac
quainted with the French language, yet
unwilling to show his ignorance, he poin
ted to the first line in the bill of fair, and
the polite waiter brought him a plate of
fragrant beef soup. This was very well,
and when it was dispatched he pointed to
the second line. The waiter understood
him perfectly, and brought him vegetable
ftntin *• Rallior mrirA SAim il.n. T .... V*
thought he, “ but it is Paris fashion.”
He duly pointed to the third line, and a
plate of tapioca broth was brought him ;
again to the fourth, and was furnished with
a bowl of preparation of arrow root. He
tried the fifth line and was supplied with
some gruel kept for invalids. The by
standers now supposed that they saw an
unfortunate individual who bad lost all his
teeth, and our friend, determined to get as
far from the soup ns possible, pointed in
despair to the last line on the bill of fair.
The intelligent waiter, wiio saw at once
what he wanted, politely handed him—a
bunch of tooth-picks. This was too much
—our countryman paid his bill, and in
continently left.

a much better one than they are ever likely to

Dr. Sledge —Dear Sir: 1 have sold all your
Cholera or Diarrhcea Syrup. I have used it
myself, and also in my family several times,
and I can say for the truth, it is the best medi
cine for the Flux I have ever seen, for it has
not failed to cure in every case in 48 hours. I
would not be without it in my family for ten
dollars per bottle.
Yours, etc., E. V. TUCKER,
Post Master at Tuckerviile.
Hazlehurst, Miss., July 7th, 1858.
Dr. J. M. Sledge—Dear Sir: After my re
spects to you, please let me say to you that my
friend, Mr. F. Russer, the gentleman to whom
I went with to sea from Gallatin, has im
proved to the extent that he is able to go any
where his business calls him; in fact your
medicine has performed such miraculous
cures, in every instance where it has been
tried, that having gone into business at Hazle
hurst, the depot near me, 1 have concluded to
try some of your Compounds, as I understood
yuu say vvucii yvu wcic ucm; maw juu
would take oft 20 or 25 per cent. You will
therefore please send to me say 18 bottles
Cholera Medicine, 18 bottles Nerve and Bone
Liniment, 24 bottlps Hoarhound Pectoral, and
the balance of the One Hundred Dollars which
you will find enclosed, in your Nervous Tonic.
I send the right hand end of the money, and
on the reception of the first half, you will
please send the medicine and write to me, and
I will send the other half. I expect you to
send me your Nervous Tonic at $1 60, as you
sold it at $2 00 by the single bottle. Do not
delay sending the Medicine, as there is a con
siderable demand or call for it. Mr. Peave,
who was given over to die in a few days, is up
and going about, and I have no douht he will
recover. THOS. H. WHEELER.

Dr. J. M. Sledge :
Dear Sir—In conversation with your agent,
I learned that some prejudiced persons, which
are to be found everywhere, against patent med
icine.. poke of your medicines as not doing
muet themselves or any one else. To see
justice done between all parties, and to enable
others, if they wish, to receive the same bene
fits that 1 have from your medicines, I will
simply give you a statement of facts, which
you can make any use of you please. If any
one doubts let them call on me and I can satis
fy them. I am probably as well known as any
one in this portion of the State, but 1 am not
in the habit of giving certificates, but feel
that in giving this one I am fully justified.—
My son was taken sick with the Flux last July,
and lay seventeen or eighteen days, when all
hope on my part was gone, and nothing ap
peared to do him any good, I commenced giv
ing him your Diarrhcea or Flux Syrup, and he
commenced mending immediately. I verily
believe it was the saving of his life. You have
the facts. Hoping that others may receive
the benefit that my son did, I remain, yours
respectfully, JOHN F. ANDERSON.
Anderson, Tenn., March 31, 1858.
Dr. Slf.dge:—Dear Sir: Your medicines
nave rendered general satisfaction here ; they
have cvjen gone beyond the flattering recom
mendation given by yourself. I have used in
my family, with unparalleled success, your
Nervous Tonic, your Diarrhcea Syrup, and
your Liniment and Hoarhound Pectoral ; and
have found them superior to any medicines i
ever used here, for the various diseases arising
from a miasmatic country like this, where
Fever and Ague, Diarrhcea and Rheumatism,
are the prevailing diseases. Your Nervous
Tonic has been used by many others as well
as myself, as a preventive of Fever and Ague ;
and it has invariably given satisfaction. 1
for one say emphatically that it will prevent
Chills and Fevers, if taken according to the
directions; and that one bottle will save any
family ten times the cost, if used as a preven
tive. I used it in my family last year, and I
will certify on oath that one bottle saved me
at least ten times its cost. The three years !
previous to last year, not one of us escaped j
the Chills and Fevers, and last year we used j
only one of your bottles of Nervous Tonic;!
