SOOTHING SYRUP,
FOR CHILDREN TEETHING .
To Mothers and Nurses .
- The passage of the teeth through the gums
produces troublesome and dangcrous'symptoms.
It is known by mothers that there is great irri
tation in the mouth and gums during this pro
cess. Tlie gums swell, the secretion of the saliva
is increased, the child is seized with fnquent
and sudden tits of crying, watching, starting in
its sleep, .ambspaMiiscf peculiar parts;,the child
shrieks 1 with-exlreme violence, and thuists its
fingers into its mouth. If these precursory symp
toms are alleviated, spasmodic con
vulsions "universally supervene, ami soon cause
ihe dissolution of the infant. If mothers who
have their little babes r.fflicted with these dis
tressing symptoms would apply the celebrated
Ameiican S’>mhii)g Symp, which has presen t d
hundreds of infantswhen thought pajil recovery,
from be,ing suddenly attacked with that fatal
malady convulsions.
Tjiis infallible remedy has preserved hundreds
when thought past recovery, from convulsions.
As snon us the Svrup is rubbed on the gums, the
child will recover. This preparation Is so inno
cent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that n" child
will nfuse to let its gums he rubbed with it.—
ntMhe age of four months,
though there is no’uppearauce of teeth, one bot
tle of the syrup should be used on the gums to
open the poi es. Parentis should never he with
out the syrup in the nursery where there are
voung children, for if a child wakes in the night
with pain in the gums, the-Syrup immediately
gives ease, hy opening the pores and healing tlie
gums; thereby preventing Coirvulsions, Fevers,
&c.

THE LITTLE FOOT.
' • By MISS H. P. GOULD.
My boy, as gently bn my breast,
From infant sport thou sink’st to rest,
And on my hand I feel tjieo put- 1
In playful dreams, thy little foot.
The 'thrilling:touch sets every string
Of my fullheart a quivering!
For ah! I think what chart can show
The Ways through which this foot must go.
Its print will bo, in childhood’s hours.
Traced in the garden round the flowers;
But youth will bid it leap the rills—
Bathe v in the dews,of distant
Roam o’er the vales, and venture out
f When riper years would pause and doiibt;
Nor brave the pass, nor try, the brink, ’
Where youth’s unguarded foot may sink.
But what, when manhood tints thy.chccks,
'Will he.the ways thy fool may scckl
Is it to lightly pace the deck!
To helpless slip from off the wrockl
Or wander o’er a foreigrt shore,
Returning to thy homo no more,
Until the bosom now thy pillow,
Is low and cold beneath the willow!
. ■'Or is it for llio batllo plain?
v^Bcsidothe siayerjmd the slain, ; ; v.:^,
.Till there its, final step be taken? *
'There sleep thino'cyes, no more,to waken?
Is it to glory ,or to shanic, V
To sully or to gild thy name, Y ;
•Is it to happiness or to vq&
This littlo foot is madc_to-go?_ - .
But wheresoe’er its lines may fall,
Whether in a cottage or a hall;
Oh! may it ever shun' the ground
Whero’cgHU foot hath not been found.
Who on his hath shed
A living light t jhat all. may tread; 1
Upon his earthly 'step, and none
E’er dash the foot against the stone.' ■
Yet if thy way is mark’d by fativ
As guilty, dark and desolate—
If thou must float by vice and crimo
A wreck upon the stream of timc, a
Oh! father than bejiold that day,
I’d know this foot in lightsome play,
Would bound with guiltless infant glee
Upon the clod that shelters me.

row of wagons all loaded with vegetables.—
The wily courtier generally so dead to emo

at these wagoners, who, by the by* were
young and pretty country women. Sudden
ly the vehicles came to a stand, and the eyes
of M. do Talleyrand chanced to rest upon
one of the young women who appeared more
lovely .Ilian the others. An exclamation es
caped from his lips —it attracted the atteii-'
tion of the'fair one; whese country dressand
large hat bespoke daily visits >to the market,
as she beheld the astonished Talleyrand,
whom she- recognized immediately,pburst

"Yes indeed, it is I. But you, what ore

loud and continued, praises of her beauty-
and talents/)- ■ .
, Mans, de.la Tour-dii-Fin was extravd
gantlyfond of hiawiff. At the Court of
France he Had seen her,, with the'proud eyq
of a husband, the object of admirationj- in;-
deed her conduct had always been virtuous
and exemplary; but, now in a foreign land,
& among unsophisticated republicans, (1793)
what was the use of.courtly refinements? - A
thorough knowledge of ‘La Bonne Fermcre’
of Parmentier.seemed to him far preferable
to a rondeau of dementi,! or "La Coquette!
of Hcrman.§
Happy as she was in seeing her escape,
from all the perils he had dreaded on her
own account, still'he could not but deplore
-the-future-lot of the wife of his bosom;—
However, with the. foresight of a good father
and kind husband, he iterved himself against
despair and exerted himself to render their
condition’ less miserable than -that of many
emigrants who were starving when the little
money they had brought over with them was
exhausted. N°t a_word of English did he
know, but bis wife spoke it fluently and ad
mirably well-. ;
They boarded at Mrs, Muller’s a Igood
natured notable woman, who on every occa
sion evinced the greatest respect and admi
ration for her fair boarder; yet M. de Ju'
Tour-du-Pin was in .constant dread least
the conversation of that good, plain and well
meaning ’woman might be the cause of great"
ennui to' his lady. What-a contrast With
the society of suck gentlemen asM. de Tal
leyrand, and the high-minded and polished
nobility of Frantic! Whenever he was think
ing of this sad transaction (particularly when
absent from his wife, and tilling the garden'
of the-cottage which they were going to- in
habit) he felt such pangs, and heart-throb-'
bings as to. inakc him apprehensive on liis
return to Mrs. Muller to meet the looks of
his beloved wife, whom, he expected to see
bathedjin tears. Meanwhile.his good host
ess, would, give him a hearty shake of -the
hand, and repent to him, “Happy husband!
Happy husband.” ■ > - :
.At last came the day when'the fugitive
family left the boarding house of Mrs. Mul
ler, to go. and inhabit their little, cottage,
when they were to be at least exempt from
want,'with an only servant, a negro and
kind of Jack-of-all trades, j.‘iz: gardner,
footman and cook.. The last function M.de
la Tour-du-Pin dreaded most of all to sec
him undertake. - - -—‘
It was.iilmrtst dinner time. The poorem
igrant went into his little garden to gather
some fruits., and tarried as long as. possible.
On his return home, his wife was, absent,
looking for her, he entered the kitchen,, and
saw a young country-woman, who, with Iter
back to the door was kneading the (lough;
her. arms of a snowy whiteness, were bare to
the elbows. M. de la Tour-du-Pin started;
the.young woman turned round; It was his
beloved wifewho had changed.her muslins
and silk fur a .country dress? not as fur a
fancy ball, but to play the part of a real far
mer’s wife. At the sight of her husband her
xheekscriinsoned,-and.she-jolnedJierhands
in a supplicating manner. ‘Oh! my love,.’
said she, ‘do not laugh at me.. * , » •
1 am as expert as Mrs. Muller.
, Too full of emotion to speak, he clasped
her to his bosom,, and kissed her .fervently.
From his inquiries he learned that when he
thought her given; up to de'spair she had em
ployed her time more usefully for theii fu
ture happiness. She had taken lessons from
Mrs. Muller and her servants —and after sis
months had become skilful , in the culinary
art; a thorough housekeeper, diScovcririg.her
angelic-nature and.admirable fortitude.
‘•‘Dearest’,” continued she, “if .you‘•knew
how easy it is, We,.in a moment, under

or two years. Now we sliall be happy—you
will no lflnger be afraid of enn\ji forme, nor
Iwill glye you many proofs,” said she, look

The Battle ol Oroltow. .
. The battle of Grokow, the greatest-iivEu
ropesince" that of Waterloo, .was fought on
the twenty-fifth of FtUruary, 1831, and the
place where I lifood commanded a view' °f
the whole ground. The Russian army was
under the command of Dicbifach, and con
sisted of one hundred and forty-two thousand
infantry, forty thousand cavalry, and three
hundred and twelvepieces of cannon,” This
enormous force-was arranged in two lines of
combitants'and a third in reserve—llS' left]
wing, between Wavie ; and the marshes of
the Vistula, consisted of four divisions of
infantry of forty-seven thousand men, three
of cavalry of ten thousands five hundred, and
’one hundred and eighty pieces of cannon;
the right consisted of three and a half divi
sions of infantry of thirty-one thousand men,
four divisions of cavalry of fifteen thousand
seven bundled and fifty men, and fifty-two
pieces of cannon. Upon the borders of the
great forest opposite the Forest of Elders,

the Pules opposed less than fifty thousand
men and a hundred pieces of ’cannon, under
the command of General Skrzynccki. -
At break of day the whole force of the
Russian right wing,. With _ a terrible fire Of
jfifty pieces of artillery, and colums Of infan
try, charged the Polish left with the deter.;
miiiatipn qf carrying it by a single and over
powering effort. The Poles, with six thou
sand five hundred men and twelve pieces of
artillery, not yielding a foot of ground, and
knowing they could hope -forum succor, re
sisted tliis attack for scveral hours, until the
Russians- slackened their fire; About ten
o’clock the plain was.suddciiTy.cbvered with
-the Russian forces issuing from (he cover of
the'forest, seeiningsorie undivided niass-of
troops; Two hundred pieces of cannon,
posted on a single line, commenced a fire
which made the earth tremble, and-was more
terrible than the oldest officer, many of
whom had fought at Marengo and Austerliz,
had ever beheld. The Russians now made
an attack on the right wing—but foiled in
this as upon the left, Dicbitsch directed the
strength of. his army against (he Forest of
Elders, hoping to divide the Poles intb lwo
parts. .One hundred and twenty pieces of
Cannon were brought to bear on this one
point; and 50 battalions, incessantly pushed
to the aitack.keptup'a scene of. massacre
unhcaid of in the annuls of war. A Polish
officer who was in the battle told me that
the small streams which intersected the for
est wereso choked with dead that tlie infan
try inarched directly over their bodies. —
The heroic Poles, with twelve battalions, for
j four hours defended the forest against the
I tremendous attack, r Nine times they were
driven but," and nine tirires",'by a series of
admirably executed manoeuvres, they repul
sed the Russians with immense loss. , Bat
teries, now qpneentrated" in one point, were
in a moment huraiedto another, and the ar
tillery advanced to the charge like cavalry,

■ supposing it to be a flight, looked over to
: the city and exclaimed,; "Well; then, it
appears that after this'bloody day, I shall
fake tea in-the Belvidere. Palace.” The
Russian troops debouched fi-om;the~foTcst.
A cloud of Russian cavalry, with several
regiments of heavy cuirassiers at their head
advanced to the attack., ’Col; Picntka", who

the-fourth regiment,' among ..whom .was a
brother of my companion, and who had. par
ticularly distinguished himself ip the battle,
crossed the bridge and filed slowly through
the streets, their lances shivered against the
cuirasses of the guards, their hemlets broken,
their' faces black and spotted with blood,
some erect, some tottering, and some barely
able to sustain 'themselves on the saddle.—
Above the stern ’ chorus of patriotic songs
rose the distracted criesjif mothers, wives,
daughters and lovers, seeking'among this'
broken band for forms dearer than life, many
of whoin were then;sleeping on the battle
field. My companion told me that he was
then a lad of seventeen, and had begged with
tear_s;to,be allowed to accompany his brother;
but liis-widowcd mother distorted from him
a promise that he would'not attempt it.
All'day he stood with his mother on the
very:.spot where we did, his hand .in hers,,
winch’ she grasped convulsively, -as every
peal of the cannon seemed the knell of her
son’; and when the lancers passed she sprang
from his side as she recognized in the droo

■JOSEPH KltNEirS DEFALCATION. '
We have repeatedly adverted to the un
deniiible fact that the Ex-Governor, of, this
State, now in his retirement on a'farm in
Cumberland County, purchased sine'e his
ejection from chair, is hy his
own admission, taken in connection with
■other documentary evidence, a defaulter to
.the .Commonwealth in the-enormous.
SIXTY-FOUR.THOUSANDTWOHUN- ,
DRED~AND FIFTY DOLLARS!!! We
have published andre-published the evidence
upon which'this imputation against the late
Executive is", predicated,' and challenged,
those, who may be supposed to feel an in
terest in the posthumous fame of the ex-ad
ministration, tnadduce any fact or testimony:
that may be in their possession, in order to
explain the. mystery of these transactions,
anil save their ex-patron from the stain .which
otherwise attaches' to him.—Alien from. Us
is the disposition to pursue Joseph. Jiitncr
into the sanctity of his retirement. As a
private citizen we wisli him the enjoyment
of every temporal blessing, and it is only
because-the whole Commonwealth-—every -
(ax-payer within her extended limits—is ■ ,
immediately interested in the explanation .
demanded, that we have been induced to in
sist upon its being given us by the adherents
of.lhe late executive. We again adduce (ho
.evidence upon which wowest lhe f imputation,
that Joseph Hither, Ex-Goveihor of this'
Commonwealth, now a resident of ■Cumber
