FROM THE GETTYSBURG WREATH OM SEEISG A CHILD SMILING 'WHILST LOOKING AT TILE STARS. WnAT causes thy fond heart to leap With such soft, warm delight, My boy, when thou dolt see stars keep Their vigils of the night? Why dolt thou raise thy wakeftel eyes, Guilelessly beaming there, Where yonder orbs glow in the skies, And sparkle through the air? I lane to see the mules that rest Upon thy lips, they show The workings of thine infant breast— That can few sorrows know. Methink some sympathy most mono Thy soul, some kindred thought, Some ardent wish, some secret love, From those bright regions brought. Th' lust heard of a blest land that lies Beyond those amhes blue, Where lovelier prospects than here rise, Do open on the view. Tit' bast heard of bliss, of unknown joy Unutterably great, Of golden crowns without alloy, Of an eternal weight. then would thy fancy's eager glance To thy young mind pool-tray,. And point when: in you vast expanse, These glories, b.-wales lay? For these, wouldst thou up to those spheres Thy fairy path-way take, And 'midst those meters of our years, For these, thy dwelling make? Think, wish, let all be bright and fair— Thy thoughts are but response To whispers that thou art their heir, And mays't enjoy them once. These are the tncklings from the source Of pure vitality— Are the first touches of the force Of immortality THE MEDLEY. "A MINGLED MANN FOIL MANY MINDS." TEE LOVM POWDERS. jA Chaptcr from the Diary of a New York Physician. I About the year 1815, a rather stout coarse looking man, apparently some 25 years of age, came to my office, and wished to speak to me aside. He tvas•a Dutchman from up the river, and spoke our language rather i►n• perfectly. Having got me agido, he stated his case with very great solemnity. He informed me that he was in love with a certain young woman'of his neighborhood who unfortunate ly did not return his affection. This, he assured me, was not owing to any disposition 411:1 her part, for she was willing to love him if she could; and in order to overcome the natural repugnance she felt towards him, would consent to any feasible means.— A love powder was that which most natur ally suggested itself to his mind; and lie had now called to procure one. "1 would have got it ofour toctor to home," said he, "but I was afeard it might leek out zume bower anoder, and den I should be a laughrd shtog to de whole dowh. Zo as I was gumming to New York, I (ought 1 might as well kit it here. Wat will you ax for one shtroag love powder, wat will do de business for de garl, and make her lofe me like de tyvel all out." At first I endeavored to reason with _him on the folly of trying to excite love by means of powders, philtros, potions, and the like. But I found my arguments thrown away. I then endeavored to laugh him out of his project. But my ridicule, like my argu ments, fell harmless to the ground. Finding him resolved on having the love powder, come what would, 1 concluded to give him something which would satisfy him. I accordingly put up two powders of tartar emetic, of 5 grains each; telling him it was necessary he should take a powder as well as the girl, in order to produce the de sired effect. "But I be in Info now, toetor," said he, "and does not need any ofde bowder to make me lufe more as Ido now. What for should I dake it den?" "You muse take it," said I, "otherwise , the powder would have no effect upon the girl." "But den I shall have to bay for dwo bow , ders instead of one." "No. I will only charge you for one." I then gave directions to dissolve the pow ders in water, and to take one himself and give the other to the girl at the same time; and that they should be shut up together in the sAine room at the time of taking the powders, and ao on for three hours thereaf ter; when I assured him, they would produce a remarkable erect. The fellaiw went away, well pleased with the favorable termination to his love suit, and I thought little more on the subject, ex cept occasionally to laugh to myself at the physical effect ,is love powders would be likely to produce on the amorous Dutchman and his Dulcinea. How fair they were like ly to produce the desired eff;!et, I could not of course determine,but that the result would not finally prove injurious to the health of either parties, I was well satisfied. It was somewhat a year alter this, that, walking one day in the street, I came plump upon my patient. Startled like Macbeth at the ghost of Banque, I would have avoided him; and for this purpose I dodged into the Hotel, just opposite. But fear often brings about the catastrophe which it seeks to avoid; and the consciousness of guilt con jures up danger, where in reality none was to be apprehended. My motives were undoubtedly sdspicious, and the Dutchman detected me the sooner for attempting to dodge him. At all eventb, he followed me to the Hotel; and with a very angry countenance began: "Be's you not the toctor wat gin me lobe powder, * dwelve moat ago?" "1! what, I a doctor! I give you love pow ders!" said I, appearing to be vastly surpris ed at this question—"you must certainly be mistaken in the man. '•I believe you pe de man," persisted the dutchman, "you look so much like him as one egg does to anoder." "No, my good friend," says I, "you must be mistaken in the mao. But what is this story of yours about the loVe powders?" con tinued I, wishing to learn the effect they had produced as well • perhaps as mischiev ously to afford sport to the company in the bar room. 44 What is de shtory'" wy misthor toctor, do loro bowdors did'nt do at all—Dey was THE GETTYSBURG STAR it.

EUDOR THE GIFT OF .TI!I GAB.—The C 09141011 fluency of speech in many men, and most women, is owing to a scarcity ormatter and of words; for whoever is master of a lan• gunge, and has a mind full of ideas, will be apt in speaking to hesitate on the choice of both; whereas common speakers have only one set of ideas, and one set of words to clothe them in, and these are always ready, and at the tongue's end. So people come faster out ofa public place when it is almost empty, than when a crowd is at the door. ANIMATED DEINGS.—There are 500 ape• cies of quadrupeds on the globe, and every species contains, perhaps, millions of indi viduals; certainly it is so of some. For ex• ample, of birds, it is thought there are 4,000 species; of fishes, 2,500; of reptiles, 7000; and 44,000 different kind of insects, besides many thousands of species altogether invisi• ble to the eye.

I do hereby certify that I had this last spring and summer a constant pain in my stomach, and a great weakness in my kid- neys, and pain across my eyes, for which I used a good many remedies without giving relief. I was at last recommended to try a bottle of Garlegant's Balsam of Health, pre pared by John S. Miller. I accordingly made use of one bottle, which I procured of his agent in Hagerstown, which restored me to my good health again, and am now as well as ever I was, and you are at liberty to make it known for the benefit of those laic ted in the same way. Yours, &e. JACOB BOWER, Court Crier. Hagerstown., Sept. 1834. About two years ago I was severely af flicted with the dyspepsia, which I had for the last fifteen years, previous to the above named time,which was very much increased by my having a blood vessel ruptured upon my lungs, occasioned by lifting—which in creased my complaint, dyspepsia and gener al weakness and debility to such a degree, that for two years previous to my using the Garlegam Balsam I never' .nat a meal but my stomach became so painful that I its.; immediately to throw it up. Seeing Garbo gant's Balsam of Health advertised, I was induced to try a bottle; after taking the very first dose it appeared to strengthen my sto mach; and every dose of the first bottle help ed me so much, that in the course of a few days my stomach began to retain and digest every thing I eat. I continued to use the Balsam until I used seven bottles, which cured me entirely, and restored me to per fect health, which 1 have enjoyed ever since, and not before for fifteen years. I cheerful ly recommend it to all persons who are of dieted with dyspepsia or debility of stem ach. Given under my hand this 11th day of January, 1834. • HENRY Lorin] AN, Frederick county, Va. Leesburg, Virginia Dear have used the Balsam of Health which I procured from you, with great benefit, if not with entire relief.— When I procured it I was sorely afflicted with dyspepsia, attended by all the distres sing symptoms, headaches, giddiness, heart burn, and the thousand nervous affections which accompany it, in its worst stages.— At times such was the debility occasioned, that I was bed ridden. I think I can say, that the first relief, if not the entire cure. was produced by the use of the Balsam. Jan. Ist. CHAS. W. BINNS.

This valuable medicine, the result of twenty years experience and unparalleled success in the extensive and highly respec table practice of the proprietor, patronised by the faculty and nobility,is now introduced to the notice of the American public, at the earnest solicitation of a number of gentle. men of long and high standing in the profes sion. It is hoped, us a preliminary step, to check the evils and fatal consequences aris ing flow the use of the numerous deleterious nostrums foisted upon the public by the aid of fabricated proofs of miraculous cures,and other frauds, by a set of mercenary, unprin cipled pretetiders, so totally ignorant of medical science that it is impossible the monstrous delusion can any longer go down with the intelligent people of this country. These pills, mild and agreeable in their na ture, should be kept in every family in cases of sudden illness, for by their prompt ad ministration, cholera, cramps, spasms, fe vers, and other alarming complaints, which too often prove fatal, may he speedily cured or prevented.

THIS medicine has been before the pub lic fbr three or four years past and has ac quired probably a greater degree of popu larity, than any article ever berme introduc ed into general use. IL coatains no noxious article, our mineral or metallic substance and is carefully compounded so as to always be of uniform strength and consistency. It will keep good for years and grows more pleasant by age. Children are ger.- erally very fond of it, and none will refuse to take it. It is so well adapted to the various complaints of children, that every family should always keep it in their houses, as most families who have used it, now do.— Sailors and travelling persons should always carry it with them. This medicine is put up in round brass moulded vials of two and four ounces each, with the words "Da D. JAYNE ' S CARMI NATIVE BALSAM " blown on them, and the written signature of D. Jayne to the bottom of each direction—none others are genuine. This medicine ii 3 not recommended as a "Panacea" to cure all diseases to "which flesh is heir to" but as a remedy in Diar rhea. The beginning and latter stages of Dysentery, Cholera Morin's, the Spasmodic or Malignant CHOLERA, Cramps, Chotics, Sick and nervous Headache. For the SUM- Pier Complaint or CHOLERA of children it is unrivalled by any other combination of medi eine ever used. It has repeatedly effected cures, when every other means had failed aided by the attendance and skill of the a blest physicians, that could be procured.— Obstinate Dia rrhceas of) ears standing, have been removed by the use of a few bottles of it; vioient Dysenteries arrested and Cholera lorbus cured. The Spasms attending the Malignant Cholera have always been sup pressed in from one to three minutes time, and that much dreaded and fatal disease re peatedly cured without the aid of any other article of medicine. In lira its power over spasmodic diseases of every kind seem to be absolute as It has never yet been known to I fail of giving relief in a single instance.— Griping pains, tormina and tenesmus Choi ics, Cramps &c. are also soon removed by it. Hundreds of females and sedentary per sons can attest to its superior excellence in sick and nervous Headaches as two or three teaspoonfulls generally gives them relief in the course of half an hour. Children laboring under the Summer Complaint, have been cured in a short time after all known remedies had failedi—those too who have been so extremely emaciated that their bones almost protruded through their skins, and all hope of recovery aban doned, by all who saw them, have by a few weeks use of this medicine been restored to perfect health. CERTIFICATES. Certificate from Dr. William Bacon, Pastor ofthe Baptist Church ut Pittsgrovo, Salem Co., N.J. Having been made acquainted with the ingre dients composing Dr. Jayne's Carminative Bal sam, I believe it to ho a very happy combination, and a useful medicine in ninny complaints which almost constantly occur in our country, spch as Bowel Affections of children, Cholic, Cramps, Looseness, Dyspeptic Disorders of the Stomach, Coughs, and Affections of the Breast, together with all those diseases attended with Sourness of the Stomach; and believe that the regular physi cian will often find it a useful remedy in his hands, and ono that is proper for domestic use, and can be put into the hands of persons at large with safety. WM. BACON, M. D. Pittsgrove, Salem Co. N. J. May 4th, 1831. Certificate from Dr. Wm. Steeling. This may certify that I have used Dr. Jayne's Carminative Balsam very extensively in Bowel Complaints, and have not the least hesitation in declaring it superior to any preparation that I have met with, for the relief of those diseases. WILLIAM STEELING, M. D. Bridgeton, July 19th, 1831. From Dr. M. L. Knapp, late Physician to the Bal timore Dispensary, and Agent for the Mary land Vaccine Institution. Baltimore. March 27th, 1833. Dr. JAYNE—Dear Sir.—You ask me what proofs I meet with of the efficacy of your medicine. I can safely say that I never prescribed a medicine for Bowel Complaints that has given me so much satisfaction, and my patients so speedy and per fect relict as this. Whenever introduced into a family, it becomes a standing remedy for those ailmonts, and is called for again and again; which I think a pretty good proof of its efficacy and use fulness. In the Summer Complaint of children. it has frequently appealed to snatch the little vic tims, as it were, from the grave. "It saved the life of my child, and of such and such a child," I have repeatedly heard said. In dysenteric afflic tions of adults, I have time and again seen it act like a charm, and give permanent relief in a few hours, I may say in a few minutes. In fine, it is a valuable medicine, and no family should be with out it; Respectfully, U. L. KNAPP, 111. D. From Dr. L. Lawrence. , Cedarville, Oct 9th,lBn. Dr. D. JAYNE—Dear Sir.—The curative powers of your Carminative Balsam appears to be fairly established in all Bowel Complaints, &c 4 and from the experience I have had with the medicine, I ant disposed to think very favorably of it. I have lately tried it on ono of my children, who was 'severely handled, and with complete success, without the use of any other medicine. So fits as my practice has extended, I think it a desidera tum in medicine, especially among children, who are apt to be affected this way; and which timely practittotier in medicine has found to be a very troublesome disease. Respectfully, • t- • LEONARD LAWRENCE, &I. D. From Dr. Charles Hammond. Dr. Jsyne—Dear Sir.-1 have made use of the Carminative Balsam prepared by xou fur Com- plaints of the Bowels. with complete success in every case and I do oot hesitate to recommend it to the patronage of the public as a medicine, worthy of their particular notice.

Dr. Jarsz—Dear Sir.—Understanding you were about to publish certificates respecting your valuable Carminative Balsam, I thought if it would be of an► service to you. I would wish to bear a public testimony in its favor; as wo have proved its excellency very frequently in our family, and alvoadministered it to our friends, who have visi ted us. and always &and it gave them speedy re lief: Years Respectfully.

To the former they can only reiterate the assurance so oflen conveyed, that as the Mirror has now succeeded in preserving their good will through the arduous period of its infancy and youth, so in maturity it will endeavour still to deserve the applause which its earli er efforts received. To the latter they would observe, that no expense shall be spared and no exertions relaxed to render it at least as attractive and popular as any of its contem poraries. The expel ience of past years will give confidence to those who have watched our career; while the volume that will soon close will be an earnest of that which is to come, to our more recent friends, so that the reputation already secured to our publi cation may be maintained and enhanced. To both we heg leave to declare, that in the ORNAMENTAL EMBELLISH- M ENTS of the MIRROR, the best native ta lent has been engaged; that many painters have received commissions from us for the execution of subjects of national history and national scenery; and that engravers of the first merit have been secured to render those works fitting illustrations of our numbers.— However beautiful may have been the pre ceding works of art which have ornamented our pages, and however loud and frequent has been the applause which has greeted their publication, we have no slight satisfac tion in being enabled to slate, that those in preparation surpass any thing of the kind ev er known in the United States.
