dispensable duly to state certain facts relative to

a constant rejection of food, head-ache, palpita

some dry cough, dizziness, at the chest
and difficulty of breathing, almost constant pain
in the side, loins, and shoulders, accompanied
with muclr.languor and debility' These afflic

lence, brunght on such a state of extreme weak

which distress Females so much at the “Turn
of Life.** They obviate costiveness, and coun
teract all Hysterical and Nervous Affections,
likewise afford soothing arid permanent relief in
Fluor Albus, or Whites, and in the most obsti
nate cases of Chlorosis, or Green Sickness, they
invariably restore the pallid and delicate female
to health and vigor,*
These Pills have gained the sanction and ap
probation ot the mtfst eminent Physicians in the
United States, and many mothers can likewise
testify to their extraordinary efficacy. To mar
ried females, whose expectations of the tender
cst pledges of connubial happiness have been
defeated, these Pills may be truly esteemed a
blissful ; boon- They soon renovate all function
al debility, and if taken (according to directions,)
obviate all morbid action. They dispel that ful-‘
some and disagreeable sensation common to fe
males at each monthly return, likewise the at
tendant pains in the back, side, or loins; they'
generally counteract the nausea, vomiting, and
dther jnervous affections in chlorosis, or green
sickness, in a few days, (andpf continued accor
ding to directions,) soon effect a perfect cure.—
Nothing is so signally efficacious in recruiting the
pallid and sickly female (who has been during

It hroko on the hush of mom—
It startled tho dull midnight,
Like the stirring peal of a battle boni, ‘
It summoned them forth to tho fight.
It rose o’er the swelling hill,
By tho meadows green it was heard,
Calling out for tho strength of tho freeman’s wil
And tho might of a freeman’s sword!
The rivers hoard the noise,—
The valleys rung it out;
And, every heart leaped high at the voice
Of that thrilling battle shout!
They sprang from tho bridal bed,
From the pallet of labors rest.
And they hurried away to the field of tho dead'
Like a.tardy marriage-guest.
They left the plough in the com,'
’ They loft tho steer in the yoke; .
Ahd,away frofti mother and child that mom,
Ahd tho maiden’s first kiss, they broke.
In-tho shower of the deadly shot,
ijf Rio lurid van of tho war;
Sternly they stood, but they answered not,
■' To the hireling's wild hurrah.
But still as tho brooding storm,
Ere it lashes"tho ocehn to foam,
Tho strength of tho free was in oyoty arm,
, And every heart on its home.
Of their pleasant homos they thought,—
They prayed their father's God, —
And forward they, ueut till their dear blood bougl
.The broad free land they trod!
RECONCILIATION.
• ‘Faster, faster! your horses' creep like
snails! drive for your life!’, cried.thecimpa
tient Morley, as the noble animals he so
slandered dashcdalntitr the pebbly turnpike
road, while the sparkles flew from their iron
shod hoofs like a flight of fire-flies. . -
The postillion, with voice and whip, put
them to the top of their speed; and the chaise,
in its rapid course, left behind it a trail of
light, as though its wheels had been ignited.
A high and steep hill in-front, at-length
enforced a move moderate gait, when Cor
ley, as if struck by a sudden rccollcctioti,
turned his head anxiously towards his com
panion, a lovely woman, who, -pale, silent
and motionless, reclined oh his shoulder.
‘Ellen, my love,’ said Morley, tenderly,
T fear this will prove ton much for your de
licate frame.’
There was no reply. . i
. Morley leaned his face nearer lo berg, and,
by the moonbeams, saw that her .features
were fixed, her open eyes gazing on vacan
cy,while the tears which had recently stream
ed from thetp, seemed congealed upon her
bloodless cheeks. »
‘God of heaven!’ exclaimed Morley, ‘what
means this? Ellen, beloved, adored! do you
not hear me? Will you'not speak to me—to
Morley, your Morley.? and he gently press
ed her in his arms. "
The name.he uttered, like a charm, dis
solved the spell that bound her. A long
di;a\vn sigh, as if struggling from a breaking
heart, escaped her cold, quivering lips; a
fresh fountain of tears burst forth; and with
an hysteric sob, site'fell upon the bosom of
her lover. . ; • ,
The, alarmed, but enraptured Morley,
folded her in his arms, and bent to kiss a
way her tears, when, with a sudden “start,
she disengaged herself from his embrace,
and, drawing back, looked wildly and earn
estly in his lnce. r —' —-—; r
x ‘Morley,’ she said, in a voice of thrilling
tone, ‘do you love mer*'
- ‘Dearest, best Ellen,’ he replied, ‘do you,
can you doubt it?’
‘Do you love me, Morley?.’ she repeated'
witlfincreased earnestness.
‘Truly, devotedly, madly, cried Morley,
on his knees; ,‘by the heaven that is shining
over us.’ ’ . •
‘No more oaths; enough of protestations.
Are you willing, - by one action, at this mo
ment to prove that I am truly dear to you,
Morley?’ . '. • : : -

Morlev gazed at bet ns if doubting his
sense of.ltearing. ‘Return?’
‘Return, instantly!’ ‘ -
‘Ellen, are you serious; are you ——’ he
might have added, .iti your senses? but she
interrupted him, : - , - ' • i
T am serious; .! am not mad, Morley; no,
nor inconstant, nor fickle,’ she added, read
ing the expression that was arising bn Mor

Morley; insult me by doubting;.even-by a
look. But, oh, if'you love me as you ought,

‘To your.father!’ exclaimed- Morley, af
most unconscious of what he said.
‘Ay, to my father, my grey-headed, my
doting, my confiding father; take'me.to him
before his heart is broken by the child he
loves. " I have, been with him, she cried, in

Morley caught hcr as slie sankat his feet;
and she remained in his arms in a state of
insensibility, ■ , .
He was confounded; subdued.
The fatigued horses had laboured about
midway, up the acclivity,,tyhen Morley Call
ed to the postillion.
‘Turn yotlr horses heads,’ he said; we
shall return.’
The steeds seem to acquire new vigour
from the alteration in-their course, and were
proceeding at a brisk pace on their return,
when Ellen again revived.
‘Where am I—whither am I carried? she
wildly.exclaimed.
. ‘To your father, my beloved,’ whispered
Morly, .
‘To my father, Morley, to my father! can
if be?—but no, I will not doubt; you neVct
deceived me—you cannot. God bless you,
Morley, God bless you, my brother, my
dear brother;? and with her pure arms around
hiss fleck she imprinted a sister’s holy kiss
upon flis lips; and, dissolved in delicious
tears, sank, with the confidence of conscious

tumultuous feelings of the lovers; and never
in the wildest moment of passion, not even
when-he first heard the avowal of love from

umphantly happy.- ..
‘Where is he? let me see him—is he ativg?
is he well? shrieked Ellen, as she rushed in
to the house of her father.
‘For whom do you inquire, madam?! cold
ly asked ~th.c ..female, she. addressed, the mai

‘For the love of- heaven—before it is too

‘Cease,’ said the old man, endeavoring,
through the weakness of. age and infirfnity,
and the workings of agonized feelings, to be
firm: .‘forbear, and answer me—is this gen
tleman your husband?’
‘Ellen was about to reply, but Morley
stepped forward. T am not,* said he, ‘bless
ed with that lady’s hafid; .she.has refused it,
unless it is given with, your sanction, and
without that sanction, dearly ns I love her,
and hopeless as I may be of your consent, I
will 1 never hereafter ask it.’ ' ■-
‘Bio you pledge your word to this, young
man?’
‘My sacred word as a man of honor: I may
have inherited- your hate, but I will never
deserve it.’
‘Children; you have subdued me!’ ex
claimed, the father. ‘Morley, my daughter
is yours!’ . ■
■ ' Morley seized the-old man?»hand, scarce
ly believing the scene before him to be real.
‘My father!’ said the weeping Ellen on,
her knees, her arm around his neck, her in
nocent cheek pressed to his.
The good aunt partook of the general joy,
and even Ellen’s favorite dog •seemed to.
:hank her father for his kindness to his dear
mistress.
The happy father sat with an arm around
his daughter’s waist, and, as he pressed her
lover’s hand, he said: .
, . .‘Behold in all this, the goodness'of God;
