The simple mode of application ol the Psilootic Paste, the short period uf live minutes, that it takes to effect the desired result, and its perfect freedom iroin all noxious qualities, even when applied to the most delicate »kin, give this paste an unquestionable superiority over all other depilatory preparations, that must ensure it gener al use in all cases, where it is desirable tu remove the hair from those places where it? growth is justly considered to be a blemish, without the least irritation upon the skin.

IE PEEL CO., Druggists, King-st illisffllanfcms._ TlirF GilOST />(/ the .‘luthor if “Ezekinl's Visit to Dtocon Stokes." ’Tis about twenty years since Akkl Law A short, round favored, meriy Old soldier of the Revolutionary War, Was wedded to A most abominable shrew:— i The temper, sir, of Shakspcare’s Catharine I Could be no more compared with hers, Than mine With Lucifer’s. Her eye was likc a weasel’s; <he had a harsh Face, like a cranberry marsh, All spread With spots of white and red— Hair of the color of a whispof straw, And a disposition like a cross cut smc. The appellation of this lovely d.irne Was Ann or Nancy;—don’t forget the name. Her brother—David—was a tall, flood looking chap, and that was all; One of your great, big nothings as we say Herein Rhode Island—picking up old jokes, And cracking them on other folks. Well; David undertook one night to play The f»host, and frighten Abel, who Ho knew, Would be returning lroin a journey, tnrougn l A grove of forest wood That *tood He low The house, some distance half a mile or so. With a lonir, taper Cap, of w hite paper, Ju-t made to cover A wig, nearly as large over As a corn basket; and a sheet \\ ith both ends made to meet Acro*s his breast, ( t he way in which ghosts arc alw ays dressed) He took His station near A large oak tree, Whence he could overlook I he road; and see Whatever might appear. It happened that about an hour before, friend Abel Had left the table Of an inn, where he hadmade n halt, With his h<>r«e and wagon, To tasto a flagon Of malt Liquor, and so forth; w'hich being done, lie went on, Caring no more for twenty ghosts Than if they were so many post'*. David wfas nearly tired of waiting; His patience was abating; At length heard the careless tones Of his kinsman’s voice, And then the noise Of wagon wheels among the stones. Abel was quite elated and was roaring With all his might, and pouring Out, in great confusion, Scraps of old songs made in “the Revolution.” His head was full of Hunker Hill and Trenton, And jovially he went on Scaring ihe whip poor-wills among the trees With rhymes like these— “Sec me lanKees Leave the hill, With baggernets declining, With loop’d down hats And rusty guns, And leather aprons shining.” “See the Yankees—Whoa? Why, what is that?” Said Abel, staring like a rat, As slowly on, the fearful figure strode Into the middle of the road — “My conscience! what a suit of clothes! Some crazy fellow l suppose. Halloo, Iriend: what’s your name? By the power of gin! That’s a strange dress to travel in.” “Be silent, Abel, for I now have corao To read your doom; Then hearken, while your fate I now declare: I am a spirit,”—“I suppose you are; But you’ll not hurt me, and 1 tell you why: 1 Here is a fact which you cannot deny, | All spirits must he either good | Or bad— that’s understood; , And be you good or evil, I am suro ! That I’m securo. i If a good spirit 1 am safe. II evil, !
