fore the public, that acts as a Cathartic, easier, milder and
more sffectual than any other medicine known. It is not
only a Cathartic, but a Liver remedy, acting first ion the
Liter to eject its morbid matter, then on the stoameh and
bowels to carry off that matter, thus accouplishikg two
purposes effectually, without any of the painful
experienced in the operations of most CaUiartict. It
strengthens the system at the same time that it purges it;
and when taken daily in moderate doses, will strengthen
and bnhd It np with unusual rapidity.

The Transcript gives the following key to the Professor's
poem, which may be made stlll more clear in reference to
the Havard Tri-eanial:— ' I
“If «’c should exercise our Now England privilege of
guessing, we should say that “Ihd Boys” weretho class of
1829 at Ilavard College, which inclndedthc author of the
poem. The “ptKjy” called “Doctor” preaches in Bedford
street, Boston. '■ The ■ “ Judge” Is the youngest member of
the Snpremp Bcnch in this OommoiaweiUth; the“ Speaker”
is Mr. C, who occupied the' diair In Massachusetts House
pf Keprceentatives In 1848-49.*■ The “ Mayor” is ircm,Wor
chcster. The Member of Congress fromGreenfleld, Mass.
ThO Bev.” is the pastor of the “ Church of Disciples,” in
Boston? The “Mathematician,” Pros. iVof Havard Unl
veraity; the Squire” an tx-Judgc of the United States Su
preme Court, and the “ nice youngster,” a' Baptist Profes
sor, ; whose national song is always sung on the Fourth of
July. The “ boy laughing” would btnjh toiave bis kind
deeds published, but he lives in Central Massachusetts.—
Old Havard may well bo proud of these her" fcqj/Si.” Our
fellows certainly rejoice at Uie brllliuutsuccess ol’tbo one
of their class who Is now so delightfully entertaining hosts
'of readers wherever the English language le knowii”

the law should be enforced, without pity,
to the .offender, that all wilful offenders
should suffer the full penalty the law de
nounces against the violation. Yet the
taking of human life by the requirements
of law, has so much the appearance of
“cold and deliberate 1 taking of life,” that
we cannot dwell on it without doing vio
lence to the better feelings of our natures.
It is not the mere depriving a fellow be
ing of life, that renders it so terrible to
our feelings, or agonizing to the criminal;
but it is the long contemplation of the
horrible and infamous death he is to suf
fer, the pain it inflicts on'khe relatives of
the criminal, the shame land disgrace that
his wicked career has I entailed 1 on Ms
Mends, is what gives poignancy to the
wretched criminal’s Meditation, and fills
his heart with black despair, as he rolls
and tosses, or walks his dreary cell.
Below we give an [extract from a letter
of the Baltimore Po
lice Gazette. We commend it to the at
tention of young iuen, | especially those
who are just entering upph a career pf vice.
The young man whose soliloquy
has respectable parents, and was tenderly
raised. He disobeyed Ms parents, abro
gated the laws of God and man, frequen
ted drinking bouses, 1 and other places of
wickedness, got drunk, and while under
the influence of strong drink, committed
a murder for wjhioh he is sentenced to be
hung. Read it, young man, ponder over
it, abandon wicked associates, obey your
parents, never enter drinking hells, stop
in your mad career of vice, or this young
man’s doom, my also be your doom:
“In this section of the city is the jail,
and I will close by giving you the solilo
quy of ope of its inmates, after bearing
the dreadful warrant of death read to him,
which fixed the fatal day of his execution.
After having in a most feeling manner an
nounced the sad intelligence, the Sheriff
retired and condemned man was left
withhat a solitary companion in Ms gloom
dungeon. For a short time he remained
fINDEPENDENT IN EVERYTHING. 3
in his seat and was silent. When sudden
ly he arose, and exclaiming in att the im
passioned agony of his feefingsOh, God,
my mother! Oh, God I Oh, Godt my
father 1 my aged father I Oh 1 Oh lam 1,
most I thus die? • Oh, dear, broken-hear
ted mother. My God? my goodold fath
er. Are these dear, dear parents to live
to witness this dreadful spectacle? Oh I
those venerable dear grey hairs. Oh I my
heart is bursting. God hare mercy 1 Oh,
my God, (involuntarily falling on bis
knees,) Oh! God. of mercy. Oh! my
God, spare, in some way, only possible to
thee, my aged, my tender, my already heart
broken parents, this'last, this terrible blow.
Oh, God! for myself, their disobedient,
their undutiful, their erring and unworthy
son. Ob, God, let mylife be but spared,
and let it be one of continued and never
ending torture. Save me> ph! save me
from this last terrible blow to nature. —
(Here his voice became choked, and he
was for a moment silent, bat slowly rising
and again in calm and subdued tonds, he
continued,) Oh, fatal and deluded than
that 1 have been. Ob, could 1 but retn ce
these steps. Oh, God, could time but be
allowed me to once more .enter the world,
and by a life of rectitude remove the stain
which has been oast upon those dearest to
my on earth. Cannot, oh,no, vain thought
no, lam doomed to suffer.. Oh I dear
est mother.' Oh! my dear father, and you
my brothers, and oh, my tender, my sweet,
affectionate sisters. Oh, God! (impassion
ately,) To what have I brought myself,
to what have I not brought those dearest
ones on earth ? Oh, could I but - save
these dear ones the horror of feelings
which this degrading spectacle must bring,
(a thoughtful psusc.) Oh, no. Oh, my
God, it must not be. Oh, my sainted
mother! 1 will not add the crime of self
destrubtion on my soul. Oh, my God, to
thee 1 will look. Oh, God, assist me to
devote what yet remains to me of life on
earth ls to repentance for my many errors.
Oh, God, sustain my aged and beloved pa
rents and friends under this dreadful trial.
God have mercy on me,; help me, oh God,
to meet this my terrible fate, and forgive
for the pangs I have inflicted Upon the
hearts of those who so tenderly loved me.’
Overcome by emotions which, gave rise to
these .expressions, and in on agony of
tears and sobs he sank down into his chair,
Alas! how many ore there, who like him
have had cause to reproach themselves
under like circumstances for the agony
and trouble they have brought on their
aged parents. May prayers be answered,
and his example be a warning to others.

A short time since, a house of ill-fame
in Cincinnati, was destroyed by fire. Ail
the inmates but one barely escaped with
their lives, having lost all their effects.—
After the flames had been subdued, a
young woman named Josephine Ellison
could not he found, and immediate search
was instituted, when the body of the unfor
tunate girl was discovered in the rear
building blackened, and scorched by the
heat, and perfectly lifeless. Her death
was caused by the inhalation of smokpaad
fire—her position and appearance evincing
that she had struggled hard, but vainly,
to obtain an egress from die building, and
elude her dreadful death. The following
affecting fragment was picked up, os we
learn from the Commercial , in one of the
rooms, and is supposed to have been writ

flames: '

return to after a long absence, when
as now, wearied and perplexed with many
cares of this cold world,. I could find re
tirement there and be welcomed by kind
friends—be greeted by those I have
known in innocent childhood. Baft, alas!
those joys are not for me. I have heard
others talk of their pretiy homes and aris

nor could wish for a proud palace for my
home, only for an humble one, yet I have

Rules Tor the Behavloar ofTouug
People In Company.
Always wipe your mouth with theta
ble cloth ; for that must be soiled at all
event*, amjwill save your host’s napkins,
or your owhvpocket handkerchief.
Always oraejrye the Abyssipian qua
tom, —never to speak nor drink, unless
your mouth be quite full, !
Champ whatever you eat, -making as
much noise as possible, which will show
that you relish and are pleased with what
you are eating. , M
. Should dny thing at dinner stick in
your teeth, do not allow yourself to sober
from it for a moment,, but use a pip, and
if you have not such a thing abont.you,
a fork will answer the purpose.
Always begin to s] e k before another
has finished what he or she has to say, as
it will serve to show the'quick neid of
yoar perception, being able to understand
a thing before it is uttered,’-and give ihe
company ia great opinion of your good
breeding.! j i :
Be sure, on leaving a room, to turn
your back on the company; and if the
door he shut when you.are going out; be
sure to leave it open, particularly if the
weather be vOry cold.
Should you have occasion to use your
handkerchief in company, do not mince
the matter, as some are wont to do,; by
slightly compressing the nose; but boldly
and decidedly blow it, (particularly if at'
meal time,) until relieved from the incon
venience ■ and the louder and more violent
the different propulsions of sound are, thn
more genteel, easy, and agreeable you will
he considered.
When in company, should you ever be;
at a loss what to do with your hands and
feet, as is often the case with young peo
ple, you can occasionally put one foot Over
the other; sit cross-legged: pick your eats
with the head of a pin; run your fingers
through your hair; pare your nails! ijrlth
a penknife; blow your nose, and look at
your handkerchief: beat a tattoo onthe
table; bite year nails; gape and yawn now
and then; stretch yourself put to open
your chest; 101 l back and tilt yonr chair;
cut a notch or two in the arm of it whh
your penknife; (which should alw&yijl be
open in your hand, ready for use;) scratch
your head or any other part thatmayhap:

Sleep.
The first sensation of drowsiness is na

body is rested. After the degree:: of
strength, of which the state of the system
is capable, is restored by sleep, longer stay
in bed only relaxes. He perverts reason,
who by a habit of artificial exoitemjent,
keeps awake so late that he is not ready
to rise by day brake —nature’s undoubted
signal for .quitting repose, obedience to
which secures a desire to rest at the fit
hour. Some people close their shutters
against it. George 111, consulted r his
hdnsehold physicians, separately, as to the
modes of life conducive to health and lon
gevity ; as to die importance of early ri
sing, there was a ftll coincidence. Old
people, examined as to the cause of their
longevity,- all agree they have been
in the habit of going to bed early, and ri
sing early. In debilitated people, a de

Rising an hoar or two earlier than-usual
often gives .a. Vigor which nothing else can
produce. Many -people, at waking feel a
disporition'tonse, they lose it by indulg

We lose vigor by lying in. bed in health,
longer than for sleep ; the mind is tranquil,
the body is less disposed for refreshing
sleep; appetite and digestion are lessened.
After long or late mental exertion, sleep is
a watch ; the thoughts continue themselves,
effecting useless fatigue. Some people can
not go to sleep, others wake too early.—
