I, Elizabeth Branson, of Brandywine,

eertify that, for one year and a half, I suf.
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

Dn. WISH.% : 1 have been a constant
sufferer with Dyspepsia for the last eigh
teen years, during which time I cannot say
that I have ever enjoyed 11 perfectly %veil
day. 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

_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

Dn. WISHART—Sir :—lt is with much
pleasure that I am now able to inform you
that, by the use of your great American
Dyspeptic - Pills, I have been entirely eared
of that most distressing complaint, Dys
pepsia. I had been grevionsly initiated for
the last twenty-eight years, and ft.r ten
years of that time have not been free from
Its pain one week at n time. I have had
it in its worst form end have dragged on
most miserable existenee—in pain day and
night. Every kind of food filled me with
wind and pain, it mattered not how light,
or how small the quantity. A continued
belching was sure to follow. I land no ap
petite for any kinds of meats whatever,
and my distress was so great for several
months before I heard of your Pills, that I
frequently wished for death. I had taken
everything that I had - heard of for Dyspep
sia., without receiving any benefit; but on
your Pills being recommended to me by
one who bad been cured by them, I con
cluded to give them a trial, although I had
no faith in them. To my astonishment, I
found - myself getting hotter before I had
to ken-one-feu rth of a box, and, after taking
half a box, I ant a well mean, and can eat
anything I wish, and enjoy a hearty meal
three times a day, without Inconvenience
from anything' eat or drink. If yon think

"A Man of ' Sorrows." '
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.

"'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„

.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.

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

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!!

By yonder streein I saw him last,
.The moon was shining clear :
'Whatever vows between us mused,

In fond embrace we stood beside,
No words of love were said;
But never shone the moon upon
Two souls more truly wed.
Be told me ho would come bark soon,
No more from me would stray;
That ere should rINO another moon,
Ile would be on his way.
But many weary nights hero come,
And many moons have passed,
Sing by the light of heaven that night,
I saw my lover last
I know MA youth ful arm was bravo,
And well &sword could wie
Alas I he might have found a grave
Upon some bloody field.
Perhaps unburled still ho Hee.
Or in some charnel deep,
From mortal view, uncofilned too,
They laid him down to sleep
With none to bathe his fevered brow.
In death to close his eyes,
In some, foul cell a Prisoner now,
Perhaps he wonudod lies!
And when I nightly look' for him,
From his damp prison walls.
When no one's near, his call to hoar.
For me perhaps he calls.

I'll buy myself a mourning - gown
With cypress deck my head.

And like the wounded bird,
Loud in the air and darkness there,
I'll pour my grief uulicardi

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

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.—

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.
