The gums swell, the secretion ofthe saliva is increased, the child is seized with frequent and sudden tits of crying, watching, starting in its sleep, and spasms cf peculiar parts; the child shrieks with, extreme violence, and thiusts its fingers into its mouth. If these precursary symp toms speedily alleviated, spasmodic con vulsions universally supervene, and soon cause the dissolution of the infant. If mothers who have their, little babes ;.fflictcd with these dis tressing symptoms would apply the celebrated Arneiican Soothing Syiup. which has preservt d hundreds of infants when thought past recovery, from being suddenly attacked wUh"that fatal, malady convulsions. This infallible remedy Kas preserved hundreds when thought past recovery; from convulsions. As soon as.the Svrup is rubbed on tin* gums, the child, will recover. _ This preparation is so inno* cent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, lhatno child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it— When infants ars at the age nf’four months* though tluh’e is no appearance of leelh, one hot tie of the,syrup.should be used on the gums to open the pores. Parents should never he with out the syrup in the nursery where there are young children, for if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syryp immediately gives ease, bv opening the pores and healing the gums; thereby ■preventing Convulsions, Fevers, &c.

J ENVIABLE DISTINCTION. fN the midst of a general and, in many instan l ces nut unfounded prejudice against many Oi me medical remedies, of the day, Dr. W. * E VANS’ PILLS have the enviable dictinclion of an universal approbation. They arc perhaps the only medicine publicly advertised that has the full and unreserved testimony of medical men in its favor, if not the only one which gives •full satisfaction to its purchase! s. Dr. W. Evans has the satis!'irt : on of knowing that bis CAMOMILE OU TONIC PILLS are not only regularly recom mended and pre scribed by the most experienced physicians in their daily practice, but also taken, hy those gentlemen themselves whenever they feel the symptoms of those diseases in which they well know them to be efficacious. He knows this to he generally the 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 mdst eminent and best .informed physicians in the country to render them useful to all class es. can only lie fairly ascribed to their undenia ble and pre-eminent .virtues.

How reluctant that step, as she moves toward the carriage: how eloquent those tears, which rush unbidden from their fountain! She has just bid adieu to her home! she has given the parting hand—the parting kiss! Willi deep and struggling emotions she has pronounced the farewell! 1 and oh, how fund, and yet mournful a spell this word breathes!, and perhaps ’tis the last farewell to father, mother, brother, sister! Childhood and youth, the sweet' morning of life, with its “charm of earliest birds,” and earliest associations, have .now passed. Now commences a new, a momentous period of existence! Of this she is well aware. She reads in living characters— uncertainly, assuming that where all was peace—where all was happiness—where home, sweet home was alI in ail unto her. But these ties, these, associations, these endearments she lias yiel ded one by one, and now she has broken them all asunder. Shelias turned her face from them all, and witness how she clings to the arm of him fur whom all these have been exchanged! Sec how she moves on; the world is before her, and a history to be written, whose pages a‘re to be filled, up with life’s loveliest pen cilings, or, perhaps, with incidents of eveut ful interest —of startling fearful record ! _\\'_ho,_cun ihro\v aside the veil, even of “three score years and ten,” for her, and record the happy aiid. sunbright incidents that shall arise in succcssion, to make joyous and lull lujr cup of life—that sha.ll throw around those embellishments of the. mind and heart, that which crowns the domestic circle with beauty and' loveliness; that w hich sweetens social, intercourse-aid! softens; improves, and ele vates the condition of society. Or, who, with firm anil unwavering hand, can register the hours and 'days ot affectionate and silent weeping—ol midnight watching? Who pen the ulignted hopes—the instances of unre quited tuve—the loneliness and sorrow-of the confiding heart—the deep corroding cares of the mimi,'when neglected and forgotten aa.it were, by him who is d,earer toiler than Ulc—when all around is scar and desolate— when the garnered stores are wasted, and the 'wells dried, and the;flickering blaze upon the hearth wanes, and goes out! and leaves her in solitude, in silence, aiid in tears? But her affections wane hut, slumber not, die not! The brilliant skies may shed down all their gladdening beauties; paliire array.herself in gay tloweiSj-bright hopes—and kind friends may greet with laughing countenances and glad hearts, butall avail not. One kind look; one soft and affectionate accent, the unequi vocable evidence of reinaining love; tine smile like that which wooed and wort' that heart, would enkind le - brighter,, and; deeper, and lovelier emotions at its fountain, than heaven, with all its splendor, and eai th.wvith all its beauties; and gay associations. ... ix.

The way the federalists manufacture the above named article, is an improvement In the Science, and is performed near about in the following manner. An old gentleman who once held a commission in the army; was forced, for reasons perfectly well known to the world, to resign his commission, to make rqom.for that intrepid patriot", and .Ro man statesman, Gen. Andrew Jackson, and then retired, no-doubt in disgust, to a farm, from whence he was taken, out of pure be nevolence, and made Territorial Governor, where, it is said, he furrowed pretty ‘con siderable’ deep into the Treasury—not as a Swartwouter, but merely as an ofiice.hulder. Lately, br the force of. native intellect, heightened and strengthened byaliberal ed ucation, he is made county clerk in-Cincin nati, Tor which importani-and learned ser vices, he reaps thousands of dollars annual ly I It is said, by those who. know him best *—we refer to his immediate neighbors—that he farms and clerks both by. proxy— that is} he has the .labors of each performed by Un derlings; while’he receives the profits, A little over four years, ago, a party whose leaders and projectors were of the Hartford Convention, but now are the modern WhigS; selected this old than as the favored object of their devotions—not because he was Con sidered the best man, but because, in confu sion of family feuds, he was supposed to be the most available candidate. He still re sides on his farm, except when removed* by a certain-committee appointed as lonsetence keepers, when his presence might be preju dicial to the completion of their designs.— He is called William Henry Harrison, Four years since he visited .Pennsylvania, in an elegant carriage, such as farmers don’t ge nerally!use, drawn by eight or ten nice, mo dest.ruflle-shirted Whigs, nncFexhibited in the city of Philadelphia.
