EPIGBAM, BY A POETIC LOVER. 
Mabla’8 like a clock, they say, 
Unoonecious of her beauty; 
She regulates the live-ion# day, 
Exact in every duty. 
If this be true, such self-command. 
Such well-directed powers— 
Oh! may her little minute hand 
Become a hand of ours. 
A mcue’s head does not contain a brain 
capable of culture and refined rearing, but it is 
wpnderful to what an exteut the other end of 
him can be reared. 
Ghace Greenwood relates, as an instance of 
the extravagance of New England humor, that 
when a young farmer’s wife made her first 
boy’s pants precisely as simple before as be¬ 
hind, the farmer exclaimed: “Goodness! he 
won’t know whether he’s going to school or 
coming home.”

N. B. Piiej.fs, Esq.—D ear Sir: It gives me 
much pleasure to testify to the beneficial re¬ 
sults I have obtained from tho use of the Nor¬ 
wegian Balsj. The frequeut attacks of Cm- 
tarrh I was subject tont every change of tho 
weather, have almost entirely ceased, si nee I 
commenced the use ef the Norwegian Balm ; 
and to-day I consider myself quite cured ; at 
the aaide time I prefer to continue the use of 
tho Bai.m, It is so cooling and soothing. 
I chccrfullyrecommend its use to my friends 
and others similarly affected The CHECK¬ 
SPRING at tached to the tube of the Fountain, 
lor regulating the Mow of the Ralm, is all that 
could be desired for the purpose for which 
it is intended. 
Please send me another bottle of the Balm, 
by express, at your earliest convenience, and 
oblige. 
Yours truly, II, ALBRECHT. 
NORWEGIAN BALM

N. B. Pn ELI’S, Esq., -My Dear Sir: I have 
the most sincere pleasure- in acknowledging 
my deep obligation lo you for the most signal 
relief I have experineced from the use ot the 
NORWEGIAN BALM. I have suffered con¬ 
stant ly for eight years from Catarrh, which 
year by year grew worse in spite of all tho 
remedies, which during this period 1 have 
unremittingly applied. 
At times my affliction has tleen so severe, 
that 1 have been almost entirely unfitted for 
mental labor, and have seriously meditated 
abandonment of business and removal to a 
milder climate. 
Fortunately, four months ago I was induced 
to try llit: NORWEGIAN BALM, as I lmd been 
Induced scores of times before, to try other 
remedies bv advice of friends, but 1 feel free 
to say with but little confidence in finding 
any essential relief. 
Now Sir, 1 am very glad, and 1 feel it is due 
to you to anv, THAT THE BALM HAS HAD 
A MOST WONDERFUL EFFECT. Its beneficial 
effect mas apparent from the start, and to-day, 1 
am almost free from the dist ressing and loath 
some disease. 
I use the Balm daily and it is a luxury thai I 
should be very unwilling to dispense with. 
Yours, very truly, LIVINGSTON SCOTT.
