FOR CHILDREN TEETHiNO.
The passage .of the teeth through the gums
produces troublesome ahd.dangefous symptoms.
It is known by mothers that there is great irri
tation m the mouth and gums during this pro
cess. The gums swell, the'secretion of the saliva
is increased, the child is seised with frequent
and sudden tits-of Crying, watching, starting in
its sleep, and spasmsi of-peculiar parts; the child
shrieks witl\:extreme viulence, and tin usts Its
fingers into its mouth, If these precursory symp
toms are not speedily alleviated, spasmodic con
vulsions universally supervene! and soon cause
the dissolution of the* infant’. If mothers who
have their little babes afflicted with these dis
tress!ng~sympiom»’would npply"tlie celebrated
Aniei lean Soothing Sytup,- which has presefvtd
hundreds of infants when,thought past-recoverv,
from being suddenly attacked with that fatal
malady convulsions.
i This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds
when thought past recovery, from convulsions.
As soon as the avrup Is rubbed on the gums! the
child will recover,'. This preparation is so Inno
cent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that no child
will refuse tnlct its gbms be rubbed with it.—
When infant* are at the nge 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 in the nursery where there are
young qliiklren, for if a piiiid wakesin the night
with pain in the gums, the Syrtlp immediately
gives easor-by opening.the pores and healing the
gums; thereby preventing Convulsions, Fevers,

me medical remedies of the day. Dr. W. E
VANS* PILLS have th/enviable dictinctinn of
an universal approbation. They are perhaps
the only medicine publicly advertised that has
the full and unreserved testimony of medical
men in its favor, if not Che only one which gives
lull satisfaction to its purchase) 8. Dr. W. Evans
has the satisf »rt : on‘nf knowing; that his >•
CAMOMILE OR TONIC PILLS
regularly-recommended
scribed! by the most experienced physicians in
their daily practice, but also taken by.thnse
gemleii)eo themselves whenever they feel the
symptoms of those diseases in which they well
know them to be efficacious. He knows this to
be generally the case In New .York, Philadel
phia, Albany, Boston, and other large cities in
which they have an extensive sale. .That they
should thus conquer professional prejudice and
interested opposition, and secure the agency of
the most eminent and best informed physicians
in'the country to render them useful to all class
es, can only he fairly ascribed to their, undenia

From the Baltimore Sum

Although the followingiiarrativo nmj fce
true in every essential particular, and the
Incident still fresh in the memory of many
■t»ho live and were eye witnesses of the fact,
yet we deem it proper (for certain reasons)
to suppress the real names of the parties.—
Our hero, whom we. will term Peter Merre
dy, was an honest 'm : an,.and esteemed as a
most valuable member- of society. Among
Peter’s must intimate BSSOciates. wns Samuel
Williams, who had served the probation of
apprenticeship in the same extensive estab
lishment, and though he differed from Peter
in still remaining unmarried, yet the conge
hiality of their pursuits'and dispositions
while boys, even now triumphed over the
petty Jealousies arid puerile animosities of
rival men, anrl they were the same hearty
friends and hail companions of old. But
what was more and quite remarkable, not
being relatives, they resembled each other
so'much that they were frequently annoyed
by salutations and messages, which puzzled
them no little to ascertain their-own identi
ty. . ... y
The. twofriends met ono day in market,
(Marsh Market,) one, with a basket on his
arm in search of provisions, (his good wife
being on a visit to her parents in the- coun
try,) and the other- enjoying an early stroll,
and perhaps occasionally glancing (who can
help.it?) at the pretty faces a pedestrian, is
doomed to cncounter.in this dangerous city.
■“. How are you, Sam?”
"How are you, Peter?” said the friends,
.shaking each other .cordially by the hand.
“Well, Sara, I suppose you are looking
out for another boarding house, and .came
hitherto see who provided the best things
for the table. You’d better get a wife,” said
Peter. . - - ' •
“Trad,.Peter said Samuel;, “1 om reeolv
rcd to move mj lodgings closer - fo my place
.of business—and perhaps determined to get
■ a wife the firstopporfunity, also.”
“Ah! I’jnglad we met, if such is the' cas£;
| for t received a note last night from an ac
■ quaintance, a widow, (who has a charming
: .daughter,) requesting me to send her a board
er or so; 1 have the noterfirmy hat, here it
is—take it,-Sam—you’ll be suited exactly;
good bye.” The friends parted, the one
pushing through the crowd to stall No. -r-,
for good mutton, and the other striding over
the .bridge towards home, .his mind fully
made-up tq take Peter’s advice.
It was Saturday, and Samuel deferred
reading the riofe till Sundar. It would then
be time enough to know where he could be
accommodated, and during his ■ customary.;
Sabbath stroll he might reconoifre the pre
mises, preparatory to his removal tijefollow-
Ing day.
Sunday came, but when-Samuel opened
his note, he laughed outright to find it from
Peter’s wife, urging him to come and bring
her home. He was amused at the mistake
of his friend, and set but for his residence to
get the right address and return the family
epistle. But on his arrival nt the door he
j learned that Peter had already departed for
the country, and somewhat disappointed, he
continued his walk until he was beyond the
city in the direction of Canton; ("Here the
thread of our story is necessarily broken,
but it will be fully explained in the sequel.]]
Peter had been summoned to .the country
by a messenger stating that his spouse was
taken suddenly ill. He remained several
days with her, until she grew better, and
then set out alone for. the, city to prepare an
easy conveyance to conduct her' home the
following'day,
.“What has'been the matter,-here?’* re
quired Peter of a little black, urchin who
stood staring at . some stains of blood in'the
road, near the edge of the city. ; ,;
"Here’s the place where the dead man
was found, ’’ replied the boy,
“What man?” asked Peter, pausing.
“His name Piter said the boy.
“Peter what?” continued Peter, knowim
very well fherd wr
c,i « M.o.nng
■ire more Peter’s than one
in the city. ' ,
*ll don’t know tyhat.f* said the little urch
in, staring. .Peter continued his route, quite
unconcerned at the catastrophe, aware that
such bccur.iVpcesC.ijaily transpire in large ci
.tiea, He next inet an hcaded man,
. who informed him.that a man had there been
found dea°d, supposed to ;have ruptured a
blood vessel; that ah inquest-had been held,
and the .verdict of “visitation of God,” re
turned. ....
“What was his name?” asked Peter, as.
they separated. . ■ i. ..
.. “Merredy,” replied the .old man, and
passed on. Peter'looked down in a deep
study, as, ho walked along.’ "Merredy—.
! Peter,” aaliioiJaized he, “one says his name
was" Peter, and the' other Mefredj:--that
make's Petef that’s'my name.
I’m the only Peter Merredy in'the'city-i

“Peter Merredy th? halter, was the reply.
Peter gasped, but maintained'hif« neat.
“What is the matter with him?” contin
ued the first.'.
"An affection of the heart,” replied the
other.
“It_ wits the Ittnga,*’Bald the finst.
“Did you know him?” asked one.

sponded the hostV, ' , ■ '
'“lt’sall a mistake, j&ntlenicn I”csetalmfed
Peter, spripging fromJiis chair,, unable ot
bear it nfiy longer.
“ Who are j/oo?” osked a soajilockjTnsf
iiig the ashes from his cigar against the heel
of hia boot, which rested oh the comer of
the fabler . . 1
‘ “I’m-PeterJoerrcdy, hatter, himself—and
it’s a falsehood about my being dead!” vo
ciferated Peter,
"The man’s crazy,” said the loafer,
"He fesembJee IMerredy,” said the hoot;
"but I’ll swear 1 saw Peter’s corpse with
my own eyes.”
“Ml be hanged! if you did! I’m the only
Peter Merredy, hatter, in Baltimore, and,l’ll
take, my oath he’s not dead!” said. Peter ve
hemently,
“My'dear fellow,” said he with the cigar,
“the jury examined the—your body, if yoe
will'insist upon it, and after being sworn,'
returned' o verdict that he yaw, were dead.
Therefore you may rely upon it, every-per
son will believe the solemn oaths of the jury
men, in spite of all you can say or do.”
“I’m. not dead 1 It’s h base fabrication,”
exclaimed Peter, almost driven to madness,
and rushing away towards home. When he
drew hear his house, what was Ids astonish
ment to find his door closed and the knocker
mhffled in a black badge! I‘Open tbedoor!”
he screamed, ringing the bell violently, and
tearing away the crape. The servant threw
open the door.but supposing tlie pale being
before her to be her master’s ghost, she ut
tered a frantic scream and flea out the back
way., Peter walked into the -parlor and
threw himself on a sofa. He snatched tip a
paper and endeavored to quiet Ins perturba
tion. But alasl the first article that met his
eye was his own obituary! .“This is too
bad!” he.exclaimed, leaping up and hasten
ing .to the printing office, ...
“Sir,” said Peter to the editor, "I want"
you to correct an error in yuUr paper—one,
sir, that does me great injustice”’ " ' I
*T hope you are hustaken—”
“No sir—it is you who are mistaken!”
said Peter, interrupting him.
~ “Explain,” said the editor. ,
. “It'» you, who must, shall explain,” con
tinued Peter.
“VVhat. subject?” demanded, the editor.
"Ldftk at that!,’’ shouted Peter, point! he
to his own death, - funeral invitation end
obituary. ' ...
“There is no error in this,” said the editor.-
, “No error? It's all a lie! I'm Peter Rler
erdy; hang me if I’m dead!*
“It may be some other Peter Merrcdy,”
observed the editor.
“There is no other in the city—look at
me—am I dead?”
“Lookat this,” said the editor, producing;
a note from his drawer, "this was found in
the dead man’s pocket— ids name is on the
back of it—besides, several of his friends
recognized, him.” ,
“Stop—that’s enough—} see it ail; hr. 1 ha;’
exclaimed Peter, beholding his wife’s note,
which -lie-had given to liis. friend Samuel
Williams by mistake. '"Good day, sir,” he
continued, retracing his. steps homewards.
“Poor Sam!” ho ejaculated, as he walked
along, and thought of the ludicrous,affair.
Bam was dead, sure enough.
, Religion Enhance) „ every Enjoymfi, L—
Wg might see how completely religion is
adapted to the nature of man, by observing
that even the.enjoymenfsof enjoyment (and
they are ip any; though fleeting) which this
world contains,. are never folly tristed. but
by religious persons. Those abundant sour
ces of pure delight which are ito be found in
: thehearfrtheintcltcct7~and J theinTagina(ion7
are never received ' id their fulness but by
them) and whv? because (hey are the germs'
of their future and more glorious being, and
can only flourish in a soil akin to that ulti-*
mately destined'for'them. Inn worldly
mind, like-plants, removed from their origi
nal soil and- climate, they exist indeed; but
with a blighted existence;—bUthoW. degen- ,
erate is the production! Every thing that
wants religion .wants vitality.' Philosophy
without. religion is. crippled ’and impotent;
poetry without religion has no heart stirring
powersjiife-without religion- ma r Compieat
and unsatisfactory ridd !e;the very arts,which
address therosdlvestb the’senses", never pro-r
need so far towards perfeetion. as When eip
ployed on religious subjects.; Religion# then,
can be no objection,to enjoyment, since flue
only sources of it Which are confessedly pure;
are all l enhanced by its profession, even in
the ordinary commerce Of the world, what a’ ■
blessing awaits an exemption front the low
and sordid spirit, the petty paMlbasaad
palfiyfttelings which aboasd la it!
