health, and a suspension to the purse. Why is it that
these medicines arc taken repeatedly by the sick
without removing the .complaint ip question? The
raason is plain and simple, fir.: —Because they are
composed chiefly of ojpum and its spiritual preparations
which acts on the 'system ns a powerful stimulating
'anodyne, and by usinj-Vepeatcdly,thc system becomes
habituated- .to its narcotic influence, as of those who
are given to intemperance.
This fact has become apparent to the thousands
who have experienced, the fatal effects of such medi
cines, and commenced using TJr. Duncan's Expector
ant Uomcdy, which is entirely free from opium and
all other poisonous ingredients, and is used with per
fect safety by nil under any circumstances. It imme
'dirltely relieves the* distressing'.cough—strengthens
and vigordtes the, nervous system, causaing the'settled
contagious matter to leave its hold from the lungs, and
be discharged by the power of Expectoration. Unless
this is done, the lungs will soon become contaminated
from noxious matter, and ulcerate, and fall a prey to,

“Who is the Christian Woman?, She
who bends over the couch of infuncy—the
cradle bed of oUr young and yet unfledged
existence, whispering love and prayer into
those tender ears'that thrill "with delight as
an Eolian trembles under (he kissing zephyr.
She who kindly guides the step of youth.—
She who bends over the pillow of pain, ;lis
arhiing anguish of half its exdruciating ago
ny. She- who grasps the couch of death
where science dare no longer contend with
the King of Tenors, and skill retires from
the unequal task. Then Christian woman’s
hour hath come, and affection struggles with
death, and cries to the dull ear of the tomb,
give me baclc my 'love! And while she
kisses away the clammy dews of dissolution,
she wrestles with the enemy while hope and
life remain—nor will she leave the dead
no!, no, the poor pale remains of the loved
one, are dear to her still. She strews roses
around the bier—and often in far distant
years, in evening’s solemn hour, br'.beneath
the'silver moonlight, she re-vitits the grave,
by others forgotten ant| unknown. She
comes like a soft spirit, noseless and tear
ful, and holy, to call up all the luxury of
her still unwasted love.’,

forbid! Pieter to yourselves, gentlemen, a
feller fast asleep in his log cabin, with bis
innocent wife and orphan children by Ins
' side—all nature hushed in deep repase, and
j nought to be beard but the muttering of the
silent thunder and hollering of the hull

sneaking upto the dour,like a'ilespcihie
hyena, softly entering, the dwelling of the
1 peaceable and happy family, and, in the
most mendacious and dastardly manner,
1 hooking a whole box of percushum!—Gcn

might reasonably suspect from such ,an in-

The Drunkards -Testimonv. —At the
late temperance meefing in Boston, several
reformed" inebfates bore this Testitnbhy as
we finddt in. the Mercantile Journal,
They told /the -story of their lives—the
lives of drunkards—that they might do
something to warn those present to avoid
the misery they had themselves endured.—
Said one, and he-the youngest, "I began to
drink rum at twelve years of age, A rich
man now in this city, I do not name him,
sold me rum when 1 was not tall enough to
reach the .top of the counter.’.’ After muth
more, he gave the following:—“I had ele
ven companions, all healthy young men—
all doing well in our business. :• Wc used
to nicet to drink, and to gamble; we contin
ued oiir.course for some time,..and .what is
the history of us twelve? Six, have died
drunkards—two have-enlisted in state ships
—two are in the house of correction—one
is a drunkjrd'stilly—l, I alone, have' escap
ed to tell you.” “Who, who was-it,” ex
claimed-this young mail," “who have for
these .'many years sold us this, rum?'.’ Of
them, :in-the sight of . God I demand llinse
who have gone down to the drunkard’s
grave, or.ore..living,; the ilruiikurd’s iifc—

A recent Galveston (Texes) paper received
bn .Saturday, contains the details of a fight bo- ■
tween Wm. Allston of Florida, and Dr. SleWart
of Orasoria. Both were victims. Aliston went -
lb Texas to kill. Stewart. When -ho arrived al
Brazpria, he.fuund.lhe Dr..absent.and immediate-
ly set but on horseback to meet him. Jn ..the
meanwhile Stewart had hecn.apprised of.Allston’s ;
purpose. .The Texas paper says : . ~ ,
As Dr. Stewart approached Urazofia cn horse
back, in company with E. M. Tease, Kaq.ho .
encountered Mr. Allston, in company with a.Mr.
Moore. Allston rode up to him and. stated that
he had a letter for him, which ho handed fo.hini,
at the same time holdings rifle in the other hand.
Ur. Stewart took the letter and opened it without',
any remark, when Allston observed * “If you can-!
not read it I will read it; Dr. Stewart dismounted,
getting down on the side of his horse from All
ston, and observing, “l am not ready for you All-
I ston,” Allston also dismounted, and Stewart, ’’
[coming round his horpe, mot Allston, and said',
“I am ready for you how,” and iirnnedialcly fired ;
