Pared everything but death from that awful disease called Dyspepsia. My whole sys tem was prostrated with weakness and nervous debility ; I could not digest my food; if I ate even a cracker or the small est amount of food, it would return just as 'swallowed it; I became so costive in my bowels that I would not have a passage in less than from 4 and often S days; under this immense suffering, my mind scented entirely to give way. I had dreadful hor ror anti evil forbodings. I thought every body hated Ille, and I hated everybody; I could not bear my husband nor my own children ; everything appeared to be hor ror stricken to me; I had no ambition to do anything; I lost all my love of family and home; I would ramble and wander front place to place, but could not be con tented ; I telt that I was doomed to hell, atini.that there was no heaven lhr me, and was often tempted to commit suicide, so near was my whole nervous system de stroyed, and also tray mind, from that awful complaint, Dyspepsia, that my friends thought best to have 11111 placed in. Dr. iCirkbride's Hospital, West Philadelphia ; I remained there nine weeks, and thought I was a little better, but in a few days lay dreadful complaint was raging as bad as ever. llcaring or the won.lerfal cures per formed by Dr. Wishart's Great Atnerican Daspepsia Pills. and his treatment for Dys pepsia, my husband called on Dr. Wishart and stated my ease to him. Ile said he had no doubt he could cure me. So in three days after I called and planed myself under the DOetar's treatment, and in two weeks I began to digest my food, and felt that my disease was fast giving way, and I continued to recover for about three' months, and at the present time I enjoy nerCeet, health of body and mind, and I most sincerely return any thanks to a ,mereihtl <walilautri Dr. Atishartand,te.,his , 'lFiiigrieiffi' , TtyTqtVpshi'Pil Is and Pi de 'Free 'far Cordial that sawed Inc from an Insane Asylum and a premature, grave.

There were times when the symp toms were more aggravated than at others, and then it seemed it would be a great re lief to die. I had at all times 1111 unpleas ant feeling in my head, hut latterly, my sufferings so much increased that. I be came almost untit tbr business of any kind; my mind was continually tilled with gloomy thoughts and forebodings, and if I attempted to change-their current by reading, at once a sensation of ley coldness in connection With IL dead _weight, 11.4 it were, rested upon my brain ; also, a feel ing'of sickness would occur at the stomach, and great pain to my eyes, accompanied with which was the continual fear of losing my reason. I also experienced great las situde, debility and nervousness, which made it difficult to walk by day or sleep at night. I became averse to society, mid disposed only to seclusion, :ma having tried the skill of a number of eminent, physiciansof various sc hools, finally come to the conclusion that, for this disease at my present age (45 years) there was no onrela existence. But, through theinter ference of Divine Providenee, to whom I devoutly offer my thanks, I at last found a sovereign remedy in your Dyspepsia Pills and Tar Cordial, which seem to have effectually removed r. !most the last trace of my long list of ailments and bad feeling, and in their place health, pleasure, and contentment are my every-day com,pa nlons.

' EiSEUMI3 In this world of sorrows, of darkness and woo, Where the wares of distress do at time overflow, We find a sweet comfort, a blessed relief, If we meet with a friend who can share in our grief. The children of Jesus, can claim snob a friend, While before Him in sorrow they penitent bend, For •tis written that he,—oh! consoling belief— Was " a man of sorrows acquainted with grief." When wealth flies away and from poverty's cup, In sadness of heart and in darkness wo sup, How sweet to remember that Re, our dear chief, Was a Marl of sorrow acquainted with grief. When the angel of death bears a torsi one away, And watt! and mourning our night has no day, How bleneed to mrn with confiding belief, To a man or sorrows acquainted with grief. And when gin seems to threaten no eternal death, When we sigh for a pardon with each hearing breath, We moot not a Judge with a word stern and brief, Bat a men of sorrows acquainted with grief.

Original. Written for the Columbia Spy. Pencil Sketches. E=l "'Tic better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at alit" The truth of this oft-quoted assertion can he felt only by the true Christian.— Nothing but: religion can enable the mind of man to rertnquish its cherished pleas tires and fond iiiticiiktions, and to bid fildiert i o,.ivith'-iii-Vtitniiiiiiieh - olr 11.1 ose object: of affection around which are en twined the .I:nfirils of love which are ex tended from every human heart; and which alone appear to render life desira ble or endurable. The Christian can resign the joys of this world feeling that they are vain and transitory when compared with those du rable riches which are in store for him in another world. No matter how bright may beam his earthly skies, how un clouded are his prospects, he knows that in the world above are brighter skies,nud that there no clouds can overshadow his pathway with their gloom. Although here he may see the star of his fortune grow brighter and brighter, and rise higher and higher until it reaches the zenith, he has learned, from the experi ence of the past, that that star will soon descend or be eclipsed by the light of brighter orbs ;—that like the brilliant but firfuLfirefly its brightness dies with its gleam. The Christian sees his loved ones die, and buries them from his sight in the cold dark grave, but the consciousness that He whom he loves better than all the world beside, has called them away, softens ti e blow. He knows that "Be doeth al! things well," and faith assures him, that if it be in accordance with his just laws, he will meet the dear depart ed ones in another and a happier life. Not thus can the unbelieving or un christian man console his sorrows. When the storm of affliction dashes remorseless• ly upon his uncovered head, and his heart•treasures have all been taken away, he cannot rely with an undoubting faith upon more desirable riches garnered for him in the safe treasure-house of !leaven. When his friends deceive and forsake him, and he is left to mourn in sad lone liness over his withered hopes, ho cannot turn to that friend who " stieketh 'closer than a brother," whose tender heart has bled at all his sufferings, and whose kind arm is outstretched to aid him in his ex tremity. No! those glorious hopes,these bright anticipations and this undoubted faith are not for him. As he walks along in his life-path over dead trunks, trees uprooted, and with the blossoms• of his hopes scattered and withered upon the ground, no bright flowers-of-faith spring up to gladden his heart rind no refresh ing streams of heavenly- love burst forth to quench the thirst of his panting soul. Only the faithful christian, then, who can feel that be has suffered under the kind yet chastening hand of his heavenly Bather, and who can hope for a future and more joyful meeting with the loved and lost ones, can say with the poet, -- Via better to two loved sod loot„ Thou !lover to to torott st sll: ' Written for the Columbia Spy .PRETRY. Poetry is refulgent .of human nature.. . • The present, the iast, and the future, teem with it, and the soul of Man par takes in rich-effluence of this grand es sence. Possessed of a structure fashioned by the hands, and a spirit brought into eiistenee by the mysterious breath of a Being who sitteth enthroned amid choirs of cherubim and seraphim, and whose praises roll heaven, earth, and sky, that man should have caught this spark from the Eternal, is not in the least unnatural. When man was orignall3i placed in Eden, he talkeewith Deity, and angels were his visitor; and in that innocent state his language must have . heen the richest poetry. However he fell, yet there re main fragments of his once exalted gen ius, and among the most brilliant of these, ispoetic thought. Whatever is grand and sublime in na ture— marvelous and chivalric in ro mance; whatever is beautiful and noble in design—deep and thrilling in concep tion ; whatever is wondrous and strange in Providence—interesting and glowing in history, is employed by.the poet to be woven into the most brilliant composition. Great are its achievements—wonderful its deeds. It gives to the sweeping tor nado its terror—to the thunder storm its grandeur. It personifies the dreary ocean, and pictures the agonies of the storm-tossed mariner. The battle-field with its deeds of heroism and stories of wee, receives its tints and burnish from the poet'S inspired pen.T It paints life in all its flush vigor and loveliness, link ed with the winding sheet of death and the mysteries of eternity. It has imiuor talized its heroes and gilded the history of nearly every country. The prompting of burning love and the bitterness of malicious hate ; the transports of joy and the gloom and sting of grief; the beamings of hope and the sorrowings of despair ; the brilliance of valor and the cowardly ignominy of fear, and every other effeetiop of nature, can . aicirie-she 'described _b try. r* ; ;e7, 7 R elitZ; that ever illumined the intellectual heav en : before its shrine the proud hero bows with reverence and all men render 'it obeisance. But it is not confined to these alone. Celestial in its nature, it takes seraph's wings and mounts to worlds unknown and with created fancies probes eternal mysteries. The pealing thunder—the streaking lightning—the flower-clad fields—the starry heavens and rolling planets—and all the beauties of nature, are not sufficiently grand to exhaust the poet's powers. He soars to things beyond. Pluto, with all the hor rors of his habitation and heinousness of his 'designs, are grasped and fash ioned into odes glowing and sparkling.— The flaming hosts of heaven battling,— with chariots drawn by fiery steeds, mountains fleeing, and creation melting away, are seized by the poet's fervid fan cy and are made more resplendent than a thousand'suns. And of immortality it sings and while the glinting, burning theme catches an inspiration from its eternal sublimity, the heart swells with strong emotion, the imagination is capti vated, and all that partakes of terrestrial nature is forgotten in estacy of that mo ment. A singular coincidence is related in reference to Captain Coppinger, of the 11th U. S. Infantry. He Was a captain in the British army during the Crimean• war, and was taken prisoner by Col. Pe troff4hi, of the Russian army. Theßns sian colonel is now a private in the corn piny of Captain Coppinger, and the two soldiers who were fighting against each other during the Russian war, are now the most intimate friends, and fight side by side in defence of the Union. There are 580 ten Intent houses in New York, which contains, by actual count, 10,933, families, or about 85 persons each; 193 others, which accom modate 111 wrsons 'each; 71 others, which cover 140 each; and finally, 29 these must be the most profitable ! which have a total population of no less than 5,449 souls, or 189 to each house! Who can wonder, then, that the num. ber of deaths in this city is far in advance of any other loeality,in proportion to the population? 'lsom: the invention of pins in ,1543, ladies used to fasten their dresses with skewers made of wood,bone and ivory. At first pins were considered a great luxury and not fit for common use. The maker, was not - alroived to sell them in open shop except' on two days in the year. at the beginning of January. At this time husbands gave their wives money to buy a few pins.. Thus money allowed toa wifo for her own private expenses is still called pin money. The beautiful City of the Saints occu pies very nearly a central position be tween the large populations on both sides .of the Continent. It is the creation of fifteen years of industry, frugality and well•directed enterprise, the metropolis, and capital of Utah, the pride and glory of ninety thousand Mormons. The se lection-of the site of Salt Lake City was; made by Brigham Young, the President or Patriarchal head of the church,and is a monument of the wisdom and sagacity of that remarkable man. Well may the Normans be called a "peculiar people." Among them there arc no drones. All work together to make their way in the world. From the tithing and other taxes which they im pose upon themselves, a fund is raised, by which the expenses of bringing five thousand emigrants yearly from Europe are defrayed. Accounts are kept with these new comers. They are charged with the cost of transportation, and cred ited with payments made by them from time to time, until all is settled. Before an emigrant train arrives, provision has been made for furnishing homes and oc cupations to all who are on the road.— Within three days after six hundred em igrants encamp in the city, the entire number is distributed among the commu nity, and inducted into some occupation, or otherwise temporarily provided for. There are no idlers, loafers, or beggais. Everybody is busy during the summer months, and as long as there is farm la bor to be prosecuted. In the winter, af ter a sufficient supply of fuel has been obtained, work is intermitted, except manufactures and domestic in-door pur suits. Then the Mormons devote them selves to recreation. They have social reunions and public balls continually, dance a great deal, and the theatre is crowded every night. Such is life in the City of the Saints.:. But there are symptoms of a change from the usual rou tine of former times. Salt Lake is the halfway resting place ow-thirrettrOvleflit! supplies and beiiiiiesi emporium, so situ ated gcograpically that its future import ance as a commercial point of command ing prominence can :no longer be doubt ed. Its agricultural resources arc appar ent, and its mineral wealth awaits im pending revelation. Salt Lake City is fast Upcoming the principal receiving and distributing reservoir of the thous ands of westward-bound emigrants for Idaho, Washington and Arizona Terri tories, Oregon and California. It can not otherwise chance than that a consid erable per Active. of this constant enftux will settle within the borders of Utah. and the population of Salt Lake City will probably be doubled within a year or two. There are indications too of a re turning tide thitherward from the slopes of the Sierras. The Reese River Rev eille says that many persons have lately gone, and many more are preparing to go, from that section of country to Salt Lake City, anc surmises that 'greenbacks' are the inducement. All reports agree that the Mormon capital is in a highly prosperous condi tion. Whole blocks of stores are being erected there, real estate is _rapidly ad vancing, a daily paper is about being is sued, and the entire aspect of affairs bears the unmistakable signs of substan tial prosperity and sure progress. Salt Lake City seems destined to a future, in size and commercial consequence, second only to San Francisco—on this side of the Rocky Mountains.—Golden Era. DYDI 31178 A. WOXAN'S DEsnar.—The following illustratve idea of what constitutes a desert in a female mind is taken from a novel entitled "Marriage:" Douglas saw the storm gathering on the brow of his capricious wife, and, clasping her to his arms, he said: " Are you indeed, so changed, my Julia, that you have forgotten the time when you used to declare you would prefer a desert with your Henry to a throne with another?" "No, eertainly,not changed, but I—l did not know what a desert was; or at least I had formed rather a different idea of it." " What was your idea of a desert? Do tell me, love." " Oh! I had fancied it a beautiful plane, full of roses and myrtle, and smoothe green turf, and murmuring rivulets, and though very retired, not absolutely out of the world, where one could occasionally see one's friends and give patties, and be free front crying babies!!

C. British Byp3orisy A delegation of rebel sympathizers re cently waited on Lord Palmerston, to urge him in conjunction with France to put an end to our war interfering in be half of the rebels. This in fact was their proposition, but it was couched in the old hypocritical humanitarian slang about our terrible bloodshed, &c. Why do not these saints urge the gov ernment, upon the same plea, to discon the war in New Zealand ? In that con test British blood flows profusely, and British blood, of course i their. intim : -" - Zia When Poland was bleeding at every pore, and Denmark was almost devoured by German hosts—where were those hu tuantarians ? 'Who over heard them raise their voices when France destroyed Mexico, or recently when she made an onslaught upon the drabs of Algeria ? Nut a word had they:to say against the bloodshed involved in, these outrages of the strong against the weak. And why? Because if they had dared to raise their voices in remonstrance, Lord Palmerston would have informed them in *advance that he could not receive them. Our public writers, who have discuss ed'this subject,have not paid . sufficient at tention to the fact of these rebel sympa thizers being received by the British Premier. It is well known that deleg,a. Lions, which have unpalatable subjects to present, are not honored with a hearing. For example, if one of these bodies were to propose that England should protest against the outrages of the 'French in Algeria, they would not be received, be cause to receive them would be offensive to Louis Napoleon. That Lord Palmerston rtecived this delegation is another evidence of the contemptible light in which we are view ed in England. In the day of onr might Palmerston, with all his popillarity,wonld not have dared to receive those hypo crites. During our war with Mexico, no remonstrances reached as from Downing Street; but we were then powerful be cause united ; now we are regordod as weak, and therefore, according to Brit ish usage, are tit subjects for insult.— Csom. Baleen. Grant's Late Movements. That the late movements are not gen erally intelligible to newspaper readers at the North. gives promise of their suc cess, and tells us. too,that for once those insatiate Paul Prys, the army correspon dents, have been prudent. The London Globe, in a recent discussion of the cam paign of Sherman, remarks that this offi cer has always been averse to the pres ence of correspondents in his camps,and says : ' While he has, in consequence, Buffeted from a loss of that publicity which has thrown so much light on Gen. Grant's movements, he has, no doubt, reaped the greater advantage of keeping his most important affairs secret until the publication of apparently trivial but really vital facts became of little moment.' We have no doubt that Grant has surf fined from the untimely revelations of correspondents; seareely any movement of the Army of the Potomac has been a mystery to the people here; the newspa pers hare usually communicated with care to the public all that was necessary for the enemy to know.

Whence came the sad spirit that pervaded all thy works ? Was thy life made up of blight. ed hopes and unrealized joys ? Did all thy dreams fade ere they reached frui tion, and friends prove unworthy of thy trust? Such are the thoughts that fill our winds as we revert to the past career of our much loved "brother of the prods." The fine taleeta, the creative genius, have ceased to exert their power; cutoff ere thou had reached the meridian of thy. greatness—thy life task yet unaccona plished. Who shall tell us of the high and holy aims that perished with thee? of the hopes unrealized—of the joys un tasted Who shall pierce the rail of the invisible, and revaal the n:most desires of thy soul? To one only are they known, for like a shadow thou art passed away : Many times have I listened to thy sail, sweet strains of her who was the star of",: thy life's early morning; separated by cruel fate from all that .was dear to thee on earth, yet continuing hopeful and trusting unto the end. Such is life. Like thee, we dream, and hope, and trust ; building up fairy castles in the dim future only to see thorn obliterated and destroy. , ed by the hand of' time; bestowing one'S' , affections upon unworthy objects; or, holding. the :one upon whom our bright 7 ,, est expectations center, nipped by the frosts of death.
