"A DAY'S MARCH NEARER HOME."
I know this life's a pilgrimage
A journey to the skies
A passage to that better land,
Where pleasure never dies.
Oh, then to find so sweet a place,
Above yon starry dome,
I go, for every day but brings
"A day's march nearer home."
The path I know is sometimes smooth,
And then again uneven:
I rourmur not, for 'tis the way
That pilgrins go to heaven.
I know thlere is a stream called death,
Whose waters dash and foam,
*Tis just before-but still I go
"A day's march nearer home."
Oh, what relief it is to know,
The time cannot be long,
Before my soul shall be regaled
Within the land of song. .
This cheering hope I cannot find
Within the skeptic's tone;
AMy Bible bida me onward go
" A day's march nearer home."
SOMEBODY.
Somebody's Courting somebody,
Somewhere or other to-night;
Somebody's whisp'ring to somebody,
Somebody's list'ning to somebody,
Under this clear moonlight.
Near the bright river's flow,
Running so still and slow;
Talking so soft and low,
She sits with.somebody.
Pacing the ocean's shore,
Edged by the foaming roar,
Words, never breathed before,
Sound sweet to somebody.
Under the maple tree,
Deep though the shadow be,
Plain enough they can see
Bright eyes has somebody.
No one sits up to wait,
Though she is out. so late
All know she's at the gate,
Talking with somebody.
Tiptoe to parlor' door
Two shadows on the floor
- Ioanlight on1.nojoo
Susy and somebody.
Two, sitting side by side,
Float with the ebbing tide,
"Thus, dearest., may we glide
Through liie," says somebody.
S..mewhere, somebody
Makes love to somebody,
To-niglt.

Mv Drix.uvnit BarF.TrinuiIr.-I an an unlarnt
hard shell alitist preacher, of whom you've
o doubt heern before, and I now appear here
to expound the Scriptures and pint out the nar
ocw way which leads fronm a vain world to the
treets of the .Juroosalum, and my text which
shall choosee for the occasion is in the leds of
he Bible somewhere between the second
hronic ills and the last chapter of Timothy
Iitus, and when you lind it you wilL find it in
hese words :
" And they shtall gnaw a file and flee unto
te mountains of IHepsidam, whar the lion roar
th and the wang doodle mourneth for its first
born."
Now, my breethering, as I have before told
ou, I amt an uneddicated man, and know noth
ing about gratmmar talk and collidge highfatloo
tin ; but I'm a plain unlarnt preacher of the
Gospel what's been foreordained, and called to
expound the Scriptures to a dyin world, and
prepare a preverse generation for thte day of
rath; ror "they shall gnawv a file and flee
uto the mountains of Ilepsidam, whar the lion
oareth and the wang doodle mourneth for-its
first-born."
My beluved brcethecrintg, the text says " they
hall gnaw a file." It don't say they ray, but
hey s/hall. And now there's tmore'n one kind
f file. There's the hand saw file, rat-tail file,
single file, double file and profile; but the kind
f file spoken of here isn't one of them kind
neither; because it's a figger of speech, my
~reethering, and mecans goin' it alone, getting
ukered; for " they sha~ll gnaw a file and, flee
unto the mountains of I lepsidamn, whar the lion
roreth and' the wang-doodle mourneth for its
first-orn."
And now thr-re lhe some here with fine close
onl thtar backs, brass ring Ott thar lintger-, and
tard on thar hiar, what goes it while they're
young; attd thar be brothers here what, as long
as thur constituttions and forty cent whiskey
last, goes it blind ; and thar be sisters here
what, when they git sixtecen years old, cut thiar
tiller ropes anid goes it with a rush ; but f say,
my dear brecthirint, take care you dont't Ihid
whna Gabiel blows his last trtunp, that yo'v
ll weitt it, alone and ukereud; for " they shall
gtaw a file and1 flee un~to the mnountainis of Ijep
sidami, wharit the lion roareth anti the wvang
doodle miourneth for its first-born."
Andi, my brecthren, there's umore dams lbe
sides Ilepsidam. Thar's lIottendami, Iladdam,
Amsterdam, mnilhilam and dlon't-caro-a-am
te last of whicb, mty dear breethering, is the
worst of all, and remiinds me of a circunistans
I once knew in the State of ]llentoy. IThere
was a mani what. built himt a mill on thte east
fbrk of Agur ereek, and it was a good nill anid
groundl a site of grain, but the nian whtat built
it was a miserable sininer, anid tiever give aniy
thing to the church ; and, my breethtering, one
night thiar come a dreadful storm of wind antd
rain and the fountains of the great dceep wais
broken up atnd the waters rushed dIown and
swept that man's mill damt in kingdom come,
and I0 and behold, int the meriting when lhe got
Up) he found lie wa not worth a dam. Now, my
young breethering, whien stormis of temptation
overtake ye, take care you don't fall from grace
ad become Iike that mtan's mill-not worth a
dam ; for " they shall gmnaw a file and flee unto
the mountains of IIepsidamt, wlhar thie lion roar
eth and the wang-doodle tuourneth for its first
born."
" Whar tle lion roareth and the wang-doodle
mourneth for its first-born." This part of the
text my bret hering is another figerrof speech,
and isn't to be taken as it says. It doesn't
mean the liowlin' wilderness, where John the
hard shell Baptist was fed on locusts and wild
asses, but it means, my breethering the city of I
New Yorleans, the mother of harlots and hard
lots-whar corn is worth six bits a bushel one
day and narry red the next; whar-niggers are
as thick as black bugs in a spoiled bacon ham,
and gamblers, thieves and pickpockets are skit
ing about the streets like weasels in a barn
yard-whar they have iream colored horses,
gilded carriages, marble saloons with brandy
and sugar in 'en-whar honest men are scarcer
than hen's teeth, and a strange woman once
tuk in your beluved preacher and bamboozled
him out of two hundred and twenty-seven dol
lars in the (winklin of a sheep's tail; but she
can't do it again Halleljah ! for " they shall
gnaw a file and flee unto the mountains of Ilep
sidam, whar the lion roareth and the wang
doodle inourneth for its first-born."
My breethering I am captain of that flat-boat
you see tied up thar, and I've got aboard of her
flour, bacon and oats, and potatoes and apples,
and as good Monungehaly whiskey as you ever
drank; and I'm mighty apt tu git a big price
For it all. But what, oh, my breethring, would
it all be wuth if I hadn't relidgin? Thar's
uthin like relidgin my breethering. It's bget
ter nor silver and gold jimerack, and you can
no more get to heaven without it than a jay
bird can ily without a tail. Thank the Lord
I'm an uneddicated man, my breethering, but
I've sarched the Scripters from Dan to Bur
shebee, and found old Zion right side up, afid
bard shell relidgin the best of relidgin. And
it's not like the Methodists what expects to git
into heaven by hollerin hellfire; not like Uni
versalist what gits upin the broad gage and
roes the whole hog ; nor the United lreetlher
ing what shakes each other by the seats of the
rowers and tries to lift theirselves into heaven,
ior the Catherlieks what buys thur tickets from
,her priests-but it may be likened, my breeth
ring, unto a man what had to cross a river,
mnd when he got thar the ferry boat was gone,
mud he just rolled up his breeches and waded
ver-hallelujah ! for "they shall gnaw a file
md flee unto the mountains of Hepsidam, whar
he lion roareth and the wang-doodle mourneth
or its first-born."
Pass the hat broter Flint, and let every hard
hell shell out. Amen.

Dr. Gilbert is the son o r. Samuel Gilbert,

Cancer is a malignant ease, deriving its
name from Karkhos, a - word signifying
a crab, because the tumor. its swollen veins
bears no remote resenbl . to that animal, it
occurs in two distinct stag .viz: the Sehirrbus

Previous to the discove of Dr. Gilbert, sr.
the medical faculty, tho earuestly searching
for a specific for this ter e mlady, devoted
their skill to palliating th -sfferings and pro.
longing the life of their 'ents. if, however,
any faith can be given to 4 testimony of those
who have been under Dr 'ilbert's care, and
they are from some of th ost respectable and
intelligent gentlemen of country, the afflict
d cannot, in justice emselves or their
riiends, refuse to adopt li eatnient.
In reference to the eas -Ex-Governor T. 1.
ucker, of Mississippi, 'ed of a cancerous
tumor on his face by Gilbert, the N. 0.
Crescent says: -
" The case-came und tir own personal ob
srvation. We saw it im diately nfter the can

smcn incredible, if we e to give, a faithful
eription of its fright and (isgtustinlg ap

md sonnd to all appearance, and what was ino.st
incredible, there was left upon his face but a
di-ht sear. The Governor returned home, and
a few months since a report was circulated in
th;s eiiy that the cancer had returned, aii was
making such rapid progress that. the Governor'
life was despaired of. In fact, it was said hy
many that he was dead. It gives os groat pleas
nre to state that Gov. Tucker wis iii this city a
fiw days since, and ealled it our office to sI e
