invariably restore the pallid and delicate female
to health and vigor.
These Pills have gained the sanction and ap
probation of the most eminent Physicians in the

testify to their extraordinary efficacy. To mar*

SOOTHING SYRUP,%
FOR CHILDREN TEETHING .
To Mothers and Nurses,
The passage of the-teeth through ( the gums
produces troublesome and dangerous symptoms.
It is kno\vn by mothers that there is great irri
tation in the mouth and gums during this pro
cess. The giimsawell, the secretion of the saliva
is increased, the child is seized with fivqucTu
and sudden Hts of'crying, watching, starting in
its sleep, and spasms cf peculiar pai ls; the child
shrieks with extreme violence, and tlmi.sts its
fingers into its'.momh. U these pTecuvsTifyrsymp
toms arc not speedily allevjated, spasmodic con
vulsions universally supervene, and soon cause
the dissolution of the infant. If mothers who
have their little babes, afflicted with, these dis
tressing symptoms would apply the celebrated
American Soothing Syiup, which has preserved
hundreds nf-infaiits when thought past recovery,
from being suddenly attacked with that fat.,l
m daily convulsions.
■'Phis infallible remedy has preserved hundreds
when thought past recovery, from convulsions.
As soon as the S\rup isTuhbed on the gums. Hu
child will recover. This preparation is so inno.
cent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that n<>rhi)d
will n fuse.to let its gums be rubbed with. it.—
When infants are at the age of four months,
though there is no appearance of teeth, one b* t
tie of the syrup should be used on the gums to
open the pores. Parents should never he with
out the syrup in v the nursery where there are
VnungV.hildrcn, for if a child wakes in the night
with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately
gives east*, by opening the pores and healing the
gums; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers,

THE CHURCH OF! THE HOLY’SEPUL
CURE.
. DY C. G. ADDISON, ESQ.
The revcremi monk, now pointing to a
door to the left of the vestibule, requested
me to enter “the church of the Holy Sepul
chre.”—We passed Onwards into a vast cir
cular hall,- surrounded by a spacious -and
lofty dome of a hundred and 'fifty l\et in
height, and fifty-eight feet in diameter, sur
rounded by sixteen columns supporting a
circular gallery. At the instant of our en
trance, a fine oigan and a full, choir of voices
pealed along the aisles of the adjoining Cath
olic church, and the solemn melody swelled
with,thrilling effect through the columns, and
along the vaulted roof of the spacious dome-
We mused, and the reverend monk pointed
in a dignified and solemn manner to a little
marble structure rising from the pavement,
. under the centre of the dome, which he in
formed us was the sacred chapel, enshrining |
within its walls the tomb of Jesus Christ.— j
We crossed the marble pavement, and paus
ed for a moment before a lofty richly paint
,ed screen, which divides the church of the ;
Holy Sepulchre from the chapel of the Creeks.
From the top of this screen was suspended
a vast sheet of silk stretched on cords, which ,
were carried across to the top of ttic marble |
entrance of the small sanctuary, containing
the sacred tomb, thus forming a magnificent
silken canopy overhead from the door of the
Greek church to the entrance of the “Holy
Sepulchre.” ■ We proceeded onwards to
some marble steps, which we ascended, and -
then traversed a small marble platform be -,|
tween a lofty row of wax candles, standing '
■in silver candlesticks. Stooping down, wej
passed through a low marble chamber, illu-i
initiated Jiy sixteen silver lamps,.which were |
suspend cdfro m the cel 1 1 ngby silver cliai fis7i
A cornice supported on small marble col-|
umns, extended around the sanctuary, and
the pavement was composed of inlaid mar
ble of various and beautiful colors.. In the
centre of tins' small chamber, the worthy
monk pointed out to' me a mass of marble
used as an altar, which he authoiitively-as
serted to be'lhe self same atoiib whi,ch “was
rolled to the dour of the sepulchre,” and on
which-sut the angel who-announced to Mary-
Magdalen and Mary the-mother of James
and Salome; the joyful tidings of the resur
rection—“He is risen, he is not here: behold
the place where they laid him!” - ,
We now took offoUr shoes, and prepared
to enter the second sanctuary, which, it is
averred, is the very chamber hewn in the
rock, but cased with marble, in which the
body of our Saviour was placed! A curtain
was drawn aside, and, on stooping tb enter
a low doorway, the scene that p'resented it
self was imposing to a degree. The interi
or of the sanctuary was clouded with the
wreathing smoke of burningJncense, and the
air ,was loaded with perfume; Forty lamps
of massive gold, or. of silver gilt, the pres
ents,of as many different European poten
tates, suspended by chains of like material
from the ceiling diffused in brilliant but
softened light throughout the marble cham
ber, and around a marble sarcophagus, pla
ced at the side of the sanctuary. On the
right' of the doorway extended a row of
lighted wax candles, placed inrichly. chased
candlesticks,-and leaning against tne oppo
site marble wall was seen a'tall, motionless
figure, habited in ,‘a long black- robe;, his
hands were folded across his breast, and-lie
held-within themiyfbng white wand,,,. The
pealing organ was still faintly .heard; and
the voices of- the choir dying away In' the
distance. .The old monk knelt by die side
of the marble tomb,- and, influenced by a
thousand varied emotions, I placed, myself
by! his ,side. What matters it tjiat .I did not
believe that the tombHefore me -was that of
our .Saviour, of "that the pijirble sanctuary
was the sepulchre in whicli: ne was laid, I

rusalem, and at all events but a little way
removed from the spot where Jesus Christ
suffered on the cross, and offered himself us
n sacrifice for-mankind;
It has been urged by those who haVc point
ed the shafts of sarcasm-with" the greatest
force against the practices of the-monks and
priests at Jerusalem, Upon the credulity of
pious pilgrims, that it is perfectly impossible
that the marble sarcophagus here shown can
be other than a cheat, as it is totally irre
concilable with the account given of the
mode of our Lord’s sepulture by. the Evan
gclists. In this I apprehend they are mis
taken;, there is no such contradiction as a
mounts to an impossibility; true it is, that a
marble sarcophagus is not expressly men
tioned in the New Testament as having been
the receptacle of the body of our Saviour;
bitt_ every one who lias had an opportunity
of examining the tombs in the neighborhood
of Jerusalem, and of this part of the world
generally, must have observed that the se
pulchral chamber, hewn out of the rock, ap
pear to have contained, a sarcophagus of
marble, granite, or other stone, in which the I
bbily~is placed as iii a cotbu. This was the
case generally in the East, and particularly
among the ancient Egyptians, whose-sarco
phagi are more familiar to us in-England
than those of any other Eastern nation, and
arc to bo found in abundance in all our prin
cipal museums. Mankind, In times, past,
paid mure attention to the mansions of the
dead than is customary with the present
generation, and nothing was of more com
mon occurrence as wo find from the sepul
chral inscriptions at I’alfnyra.and elsewhere,
than for a man of wealth or consideration to
plan, arrange, and decorate his tomb, pre
vious to.his death. Thus in 2 ChfonTchap.
xvi.—-“ They buried him (Asa) in his own
seputt'hrcsf which he had made for himself
in the city of David,” and St. Matthew tells 1
us, that when Joseph had taken the body of
Jesus, “he Wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
ami laid it in his pw/i,i\eu< whldi.be
in the rock.’-? This was. the
usual -sepulchral chamber - which—wasr : no
doubt, provided with the customary stone,
1 sarcophagus or Collin, for containing the
body. That a sarcophagus is not mention
ed in the Scriptures,-is no argument for its
| non-existence. For ive might, on reading
(an account of the body of a king of England
' having been placed in a stone vault under a.
church, as well argue that there was no le» J " I
cn coffin, because it did not happen t 0 be
expressly named.* ’ • ”
The priests here, of all sty 15 ) who have
the custody of the sacred relics, allege that
the floor.of the church Aa9 been plained down
below the level “C the original sepulchral
chamber, and Me rock so cut away all round
as to leave only a thin wall of rock, forming
the side® of ,the chamber, which has been
cased with marble as we now see it; and
the sarcophagus within, say they, remains in
the same slate, standing within the chamber,
as when first found. The lid of it is rent
into two pieces; that is affirmed to have been
done at the resurrection
The JLondoir Suicide.
AVe a .day or two ago, published a para
fraph, announcing Clie death of a young lady,
liss Margaret Moyes, by leaping oil" tlie
Monument in London.- . The matter lias ex
cited some interest, and \ve have received
three or lour notes, asking lor further par
ticulars'.
She was 23 years of age, ami the daughter
of a master baker. On. visiting the Monu
ment, she inquired if two ladies and a gen
tleman had not been there, and being an
swered in the negative, she expressed her
Surprise at their absence, adding that she
: and the persons inquired after, had.just’ar
| rived from Gravesend by a steamer, with the
' view of seeing London from the Monument,
| adding that she was Sure her party would
i arrive in a short time. The keeper Jenkins,
| complied with her request, and she sat down
fonastmvaslabinsidctlicTarling gates. —Shc-
' then entered freely into conversation with
Jenkins,,and among other remarks, observed
that the morning was 'cloudy, and she hoped
that it would clear up, so as to enable her to
have an advantageous prospect. Her manner
was perfectly calm, and: collected. After
the lapse of a few, minutes she rose up, say
ingnhat she -would-not wait any longer, but
would ascend the Monument without her
party. After paying the accustomed fee, and
ascending a few steps, she turned back and
said to Jenkins, ‘lt they come, tell them to
come up to me; but if they decline ascending
detain "them till I come down.’ After say
ing this she ascended, and nothing more was
seen or heard of her until she committed the
extraordinary and fatal act. On inspecting
the terrace at the head of the giant .column,
her bonnet, shawl, veil, waistband, & gloves,
were found lying on it. A piece of spun
rope, about half an inch in diameter, and 10
feet in length, was found tied to the tup rail
of the iron palisades that encircle the terrace.
There was a loop at the bottom of this rope,
somewhat in the shape of a stirrup iron,
which served her as a ladder ;to climb over
thcriron palisades, and get on to the projec
tingcornice that runs around the outside of
it.. It is conjectured that when she got up
•on this cornicetshe allowed herself to drop
backward^/'without making a.spring." This
conjccture is founded on the fact that, her
body;fell[within the railings at the base- o'f
|}s; pUlarr'The -body .'was-seen in the de
seent’by; several persons, who,say that it did
hot strike against any of the upper-part of
the pillai. and that the first obstruction it
.met. with was from a bird cage hanging on
the right side-of. the dour of the stone steps
by wßiclrshe had ascended. She then, felt
on an iron bar which runs
the side of the, 'door to tltpSfon pailings,
which was very much bent by the concussion.
Her left arm. hear the /shoulder, catne . in
contact with'the bar, and was so
severed that the part cutoff flew oyer the
iron railings several yards into the square. ,

It seems that she quitted her home at an
early hour in the morning, and had left a.
letfer behind, stating that her family should
never see her again. This is the most shock
ing case of the kind on record—if we except
that of Mr. Levi, the Jewish diamond mer
chant, who precipitated himself from the
identical spot, in the year 1800, when he
was dashed to, pieces;- The suicide of Miss
M..produced great excitement. During the
whole of the succeeding day, the Monument
yard was crowded with spectators, a great
portion of them being females. A physician
expressed "the opinion, that the deceased
must have been dead before she reached the
ground. It seeins that the father of Miss
M. had been-hed-riijden for some time; that
she had nursed him fur many months with
great and that the, necessities of 'the
family, which numbered several daughters,
■had rendered it expedient’for them to go
abroad and get their living. This had pro
duced great depression of spirits in the mind
of the deceased.. She had no sweetheart,,
and no gentleman, was paying court to her.
Christiana Moyes,. a younger sister, who
'was present at the corner’s inquest, was so
affected as to be unable to speak. The
Coroner said: '
“Can you state any tiling that can account
for your sister destroying herself?” Wit
ness—'Not any tiling; but she *>ok very
much to heart the illness of my poor father,
and also the idea of going out-hito the world
to get her living preyed upOn her, mind.—
She had no sweetheart tint I am aware of.
She never told me she had, and I never
I saw her receive any love letters. The gen
tleman who lodged at our house was. going
out of town, and had given us notice to that
effect.’’ A Jiiror—‘Was lhefeTiiythfng Be
tween him and your sister?’ Witness—‘Oh
dear, no.’ By ' the Comber—T saw her

She said sire-**a#" going 'out to breakfast, I
never knee hep to go out to breakfast before.
A yonoger sister .with whom deceased slept,
to*«f me that she hail been crying on Wed
nesday morning. She did not say any thing
unpleasant had taken place between her and
my sister with' whom she had taken tea.—
On- the-contrary, she said she had passed a
happy evening together.’ ' The Coroner (ad
dressing Mr. Bleaden, who, by a gift of the
Corporation—so the reporter was told—is
the possessor of .the Monument) asked who
had the care of it? Mr. Bleaden—Thomas
Jenkins, the.-witness first examined—But
the building, is under the management of
the Committee of City Lands, of which Mr.
Obbard is now the Chairman.’ This infor
mation was sought for by.the Coroner, as it
appears he intends to recommend some al
teration in the railings which surround the
gallery of the Monument, with a view to
render it almost impossible to commit acts

Several of the Jury expressed a.tfish that
the married sister of the deceased, together
| with her husband, with whom she had passed
Tuesday evening, should be present and ex
amined, and they also desired to hear the
testimony pfCaptain Bevan. The Coroner
—‘do not think, it at all likely that that gen

for three weeks, could have had any influ

What is the secret of his success? There
is no secret in the matter. The causes are
obvious.- Iff the first place, he is an-able
man.- He is no rhetorician, tickling the car
with the music of histones, and pleasingthe
eye by graceful gcsticula.tions. ~ He appeals
to the understanding alone. He' is never
brilliautjbut always instructive. Hisspcechcs
in the Senate of the United States, and his
messages Ayhilst Governor of New York, and
since as President of the United States, have
been characterized, by courtesy, ease and a
bility. We are not perhaps very competent
tp judge, but we do’really consider Mr. Van
Suren’s Presidential .messages the best do
cuments of that character which we have ev
er read. We’learn also from those whom
we believe competent to decide, that his le
gal arguments in the Supreme Courtof New
York, are characterized by industry,-per
spicuity, and force of thought. The fact is,
that no man could Have risen to his station
without great talents, especially without
usual aids to —promotion. We have seen
that he’ has not the advantage of oratory or
soldiership. He labored under, another dis
advantage. He Was pool-, and without the
patronage of % wealthy. To us, there is a
mrfral sublimity, in the spectacle of a poor
boy sfartiivg’into life with' no resources but
the energies of his mind, and the integrity of
his tend net—buffe’ting adversity as the swim
mer buffits- the waves—-struggling, - undis-:
mayed through the-stinging humiliations of
poverty—commanding first the professional,
and afterwards the political-.confidence of
his fellow-citizens—tulfilling every trust —
•climbing step, by.step to the highest seat on
eaijth. All .this may have no charm foc the
aristocracy; but it lias for us. ' Itdevelopes

.Again—and this is one of his greatest
merits—Mr. Van Burcn is a. statesman of
. most amiable temper. Let the storms of
faction howl and him, he is un
ruffled. Let politicians defame Slid revile
him, he reviles not again. His head is above'
the storm. Let tile'press vilify and abusd
him, he is calm as a summer’s morning.—
This evenness of temper is a most valuable
quality in any “man in authority,” and a
very rare one among politicians. Tho love
of power, tile possession of power, and tho
loss of power, arc constantly warring against
this great quality. Tho love of power cor
rupts the heart—its possession is apt to create
an injurious sclfwill, and,its loss engenders
malice, and hale, and all uncharitableness;
which, after fruitless efforts to regain it, be
comes reckless of the fellings of others. Mr.
Van 'Burcn never assails a rival, and when
assailed, conlidently appeals, to the judgment
of his countrymen. No man in this country
has passed a inore bitter ordeal of persecu
tion. JJehounced by the press—in the leg
, islativr assembly—igno.ninouslv recalled
from a foreign romi —insulted to his face
rej’Catedly’ by rival statesmen, he lias re
turned calumny with silence, insult with"*
cohrtesy. He has never lost either ids own
temper or the public confidence. Nor is
this good ness of temper the want of firmness.
Ever treating the opinions of others with
deference, and allowing)them fair \vrigid, in
his judgment,die nevertheless, having calm- .
ly made his determination, adheres to it fi'rm-
Iv. For example, take his course on the In
dependent Ticasuiy. His firmness in that
matter has been so strong as to be called, by
Ids adversaries, obstinacy .(’Not justly i how
ever. He lias a public duty to perform—he
determines slowly—he donsidersevery thing,
.the condition.of the country, the merits of
the particular-question—he makes up his
mind—he will-follow his convictions. Thu
is Srmpess.

A distressing scene, we learn from the
Brnck viUe- Hecordcr; reccntly“orrHrrcd at a
trial at Perth, Upper Canada. The prison- ‘
cr was indicted for the murder of his son-in
law. The scene is thus described:
“During the investigation, the widow of
the deceased, who was at the same time the
daughter of the. prisoner, was, on the partof .
the defence, brought into court to be sworn.
Site appeared in mourning—pale, thin, and
greatly discomposed;-and it was only with
frpat exertion on her part, .that site could
eep composed enough .to speak; however,
nothing material'was.elicited from her. Her
feelings frequently overcame her, and she
burst out into loud sobs, at one of which
times she her eyes utpoii the prisoner,
and screeched father—father!’’ The court,
of course, ordered her removal; she had to
pass her father, to whom she extended .'bet
hand in the midst ofher sobs. The old man,'
in tears, reachcd-.out.his hand to his widow
ed daughter; the hand which, at the instiga
tion of his heart, bad been the means alike
of her misery and his; own—she received it
and was again taken away. The scene was
tragical, and though bet ween.these, humble .
individuals, brought the tears to many an y
eye,’? •
