Not so with Du. Hunt, whose extensive research and prac tical expericriQ&so eminentlyqualify him for the profession of. which he has been one of the most useful memhers. He contends—-and a moment’s reflection will convince any reasoning mind of the .correctness of his views—-that the stomach, liv er, and the associated organs are the primary •and great regulators of health, and that the blood in very many instances is dependent oh these or gans, ami that unless medicine reaches THE ROOT OF THE DISEASE, the sufierficUti anodynes usually?prescribedi*£erve but as foils to cover lli,e raVageVbf-deep-Vontcd maladies.— Omler these conviction's, at the expense of ye f * of close application; the doctor has discovered a medicine whose searching powers are irresisti ble, and in prescribing, U Is with a knowledge of us being a radical-cure in-the-various* discuses already enumerated, even if applied in the most critical cast's, but he does nut pretend to ascribe to : nUNT'S IiOTANEC PILLS a supernatural agency, although from positive proofs within the knowledge of hundreds he is prepared to shew, that when every other earth ly remedv has been given up, HUNT'S BOTANIC PILLS have never been known to fail in effecting.two very gratifying results, that of raising from the bed of sickness and disease those who have test ed their efficacy, ami thus amply rewarding Dr. Hunt for his long and anxious study to attain this in the HkaLXsc Art. ’ The extraordinary success which has attend ed the use of Hunt’s Botanic Pills, is the best criterion of their superior virtues.

This preparation is so inno cent,so efficacious, and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let Sts gums be rubbed with. When infanta are at the age of four months, though there is no appearance of teeth, one hot tie of the syrup should be used, on the gums to .open the pores., Parents should never.be with out the syrup nursery where there are young children, for if a child Vyakes in the night with'pamih the gums,'the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers, See.

I have hearn folks say the' wimmin was contrary: well they is a leetle so, blit if you manage ena ritej bawl in here, and let ■em out there, you cun drive em along with out whip or spur,,jest which way you want em to go. ■\Vhen I lived down to G’torn, there was ix good many fust'ra'te gals' down tbereiTbu f I didn't take a likin'to any on em, fill Squire Cummins cum down there to live. The squire had a mighty purty-darter. I setl , some of the gals was fust rate, bat Nancy Cummins was fustraje, and a leetle'more. There was many dressed finer and looked .grander, but there'was sumthin jam about, Nance, that they-.couldn't bold a candle to. If a feller seed ner wunce, he couldn’t look at another gal for a week. 1 took a likin to her rife off, ’and we got as thick as thieves. We had used to go to the same mectin, and sot in the same pew. It took me to find the sarins and hims for her, and we’d swell em out in a manner, shocking to hardened sin ners; and then we'd-mosey hum together, While the gals and fcllerskcpt a lookin on as though they’d- like to mix in. I’d always stay to supper, and'the way she cood make injun cakes, and the waV I wood slick cm over with molasses, and put em away was nothing to nobody.. She was 'dreadful civil tew, always gettin somethin nice forme’. I was the hub in love, and was goin for it like a lokymotive. Well, things went on this way for a‘spell, fill she'thought she had me tight enough. Then .she.began to show off kinder independent like. When I’tlgo to the meetin, there Was no room in the ptwj when she’d come out she’d streake off .with another cliapi ahtTleave me suckin my fing-‘ era at the door. Instcd of sticken to me as she used to do, she got cultin To’nnd with all the fellers jest as if she Cared nothin about me no more, none whatsomever, I got con siderably riled, and theft I in out as well cum to the end of it at wunce; so down I wenffo have it out with her; there was a hull grist of fellers th?'re. They seemed mily quiet till 1 went in, then she got talkin all manner of nonsense, sed nothin to me, and darned little of that. I tried to keep my dander down, but it twarn’t no use—l kept movin about as if I had a pin in my trowsers. I _swcat as if I Jvad been thrashin. My collar hung down as if it had been bung over my stock-to dry. I couldn’t stand it, so I clear ed out as quick as I could, for I seed ’twas no use to say nothin to her. I went strate to bed-, and thought the matter over a spell;, thinks I that gal is jest tryin of me; taint no use of our playin possum; I’ll take the kink out of her; if 1 dont fetch her out of that high grass use me for sassage meat. I hearn tell nf a boy wunce, that got to skewl late on Sunday mornin; master scs, you tarnal slcep in cretur, what kept you so late? Why, ses the boy, it is so everlastin slippery out, I couldn’t get along nohow, every step ! took forrard, I went two steps backward; and I couldn’t have got here at all, if I hadn’t turned back to go tother way. . Now, that’s jest my case. I have been puttin after that fal for a considerable time. Now, thinks I, ’ll go tother.way—she’s been silting of me, now I’ll slite her—what’s sass.for the goose is ,sass for the gander. Well, I went no more to Nancy’s. Next Sabbath, I slicked myself up, and I dew say, when I got my fixins on 1 took the shirt tail clean off of any specimen of human nature in our parts. A bout ineetin time off I put to.Gltham Dodge’s —Patience Dodge was as nice a gal as vau’d see twiit hero and yonder, any more than she wasn’t jest like Nancy Cummins. E phraim Massey Kad-llsed to go and sec her; he was a clever feller, but he-was dreadful jelus. Wellj I went tomeetin vyith Patience, and Sot right afore Nancy; I clid’nt set my eyes oh her till after me'etin; she had a fellow with bar who had a blazinred head, and legs like a pair of compassess; she had a face as long, as-a grace afore a thanksgivin dinner. I knowd who she was tliinkin about,.and ’twarn’t the chap with the red head nether. .Wellj' I got hoein Patience about a spell.— .Kept my eye on Nance, sed how the cat was jumpin; she didn’t cut abput like she did;- and look’d rather solemnly; she’d g’ih her tew eyes .to kiss and inafco up. , I-kcptit up until I liked to have got into a niess about Patience.

Well, aes hef there was a thundering- big ehist of drawers.fuirof allsorts of truck,, so I hot it, anij that 1 niade a spec, but when. I cum [AT TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM.

Well, I jest told Patience about it, when she rite up and called mo a darned fool. Well, scs I, Efe, that is hard, but never you .mind that, jest go on, you cad get her, and when you do get her, you can file the rough edges off jest as you please; that tickledmm, it did, and away he went, a lee tle,better pleased. Now, thinks I, its time' to look artcr Nance.''Next, day, tlouu I went. Nancy was all alone. I axed her if the squire was in, she said he warnt. Cos, ses I, (makin believe I wanted him) our colt sprained, his foot,-and I cum to see if the squire wont lend me his mare to go to town. She sed sheguessed ho Wood, better sit down till the squire corned'in—down I sot; she looked sort a strange, an my heart felt queer all around the edges.

Seth Stokes, ses she, antfshc couldn’t say any more she was so full; wont you be the bridesmaid, ses I; no, ses she, and she burst rite out; well then, ses I, if you wont be the bridesmaid, will you be the bride— she looked-up.af me"—l swan to man I nev er seed any thing so awful purty; I tuck rite hold of her then, yes or no, ses I, rite off.— ,Yes, ses she; that’s your sort,- ses I, as I gin her a busk and a bug; 1 soon fixed matters with the squire. -We soon hitched traces to trot in double harness for life, and never had causeTo repent of my bargain.. J. W. ' TiVe Winter Fireside.— Each successive day gives additional bitterness to the win ter’s blast, and renders the -briglit blaze of the doincstic health more inviting. Happy are they wlip have it to retire to, and oh, most miserable those wlio know it not.— There is a charm in the social circle which surrounds the family fireside’, that the cheer less, childless tavern lounger, whose home is the common 'sitting room of an inn, “with his bed in No.—, knows nothing about.— Heaven deliver lis, say we, from the horrors of what wicked poets have called single blessedness. Our object, however, in the present paragraph’ is not to comment on or describe the miseries of bachelors or the un utterable wretchedness of old maids, but rather to make a few remarks upon the cheer ful blessings which encircle, particularly at this season of the year, the hallowed altar of peaceful, virtuous home. The motives which commonly draw us together around our own fireside, are among the best which can animate—theriieart; and the hearts which are influenced by such motives are, we will venture to say, the most deeply imbued with patriotism and virtue. Wretched indeed is the man jvho, from any cause; finds more pleasure’aihid t the vulgarisms ind ribaldry of a noisy bar room than atb,is own fireside. At home, fn the midst of tiic cheerful circle, where the free play of the natural affections assume the most engaging air, misfortune or affliction meet true consolation; or if these unwelcome ininates be not there, innocence and mirth, undisturbed by trouble, put on their most enchanting forms. There age, in its graven features, catches the light beaming from the smiles of youth; youth, from its beaming features, reflects the mellowing tints of chas tening, age,.—There cxprossivc eloquence— the true eloquence of the heart—addresses itself to the pleasant recollections of the past; or with sweet anticipations and bright hopes; speaks rapturously of the future. There the petulance or affected gallantry and the ino roseness of assumed sanctity are softened .down and refined to natural demonstrations of true regard and quiet ’piety. Unruffled by the extraneous turmoils of artificial dis tinctions, bosom conveys to bosom, the cor dial impulses.jof sympathy; the hallowed names of kindled, in all their pleasing rela-: lions, cast their spells around with magic power; attractive charms are felt with pecu liarand pervading force; the legend lends its inferest.thelayitßgraceahdharmbhy.

In It, afteFriiukirig the clearest possible reply to llie questions that had been submitted to him, Mr, Webster says: "I hope I may be justified by existing cir cumstances, to close this letter With the ex* piesslon of an opinion of a more general na ture. It is, that I believe the citizens of this United States, like all honest men, regard debts whether public or private, and wheth er existing at home,or abroad, to bo of mor al as well as legal obligation; and I trust I may appeal to their history, from ihc mo ment when these.
