are statics in their progress, which having once 1
reach-d. recoverv is doubtful. Still no one should! I
despair. The writings of physicians, who hap e !
given to these affections particular attention, abound '
with many recorded cases of recovery when the I
i patient had reached a seeming hopeless stage oi
1 the disease; and there is at this time, a remedy
; prepared in Philadelphia which has met with the
i most triumphant and cheering success ill the-most
j obstinate forms of Throat and Pulmonary Diseases
1 ;0 as to have obtained the sanction and employ
' mont in the practice of many physicians.
Allusion is had to Thompson’s Compound Syrup
; of Tar and Wood Naptha—the preparation of one,
i who. having given to diseases of the Lungs and
i their moans of cure, the most careful ami thorough
i attention, presented to the public this great remedy,
j The soothing and curative power of TAR has
j often been observed in sevcro 4 coughs, and Con
i sumption. But in the .above preparation, beside
' some of our most valuable vegetable pectorals
j there is conjoined with it the Wood Naptha, a ined-
I icine but lately introduced, but which has been
emploved with most satisfactory results in England,
in Pulmonary Consumption, especially of a Tuber
culous form.
Read the following from Dr. Young, the eminent
oculist. Philadelphia, Jan. IS, 1547.
Messrs. Augney & Dickson :—Gentlemen—Hav
ing recommended in iny practice, and used in my
own fainilv, Thomson’s Compound Syrup of Tar
and Wood Naptha, I have no hesitation in saying
that it is one of the best preparations of the kind in
use, and ‘persons suffering from colds, coughs, af
fections of the throat, breast, &c., so prevalent at
this season of the year, cannot use any medicine
that will cure or prevent Consumption sooner than
Thomson's Compound Syrurn of Tar and Wood
Naptha. Wai. Young, M. D.

Philadelphia; March 9, 1544
I hereby certify that alter lingering four years
with pulmonary consumption and given up by four
physicians, who pronounced me incurable, the dis
ease was arrested and I was restored to health sole
ly by the use of Thomson’s Compound Svrup of

and all whom it may concern
‘TVT'HEREAS, I, J iit'ot) Weitzcl, of the city o
Y \ Lancaster, coppersmith) have received by let"
tors Patent, recorded in the Patent office in the city
of Washington, certain useful improvements in the
construction of Stills, which improvements consist
uf an additional tub, called a. doubling .tub, which
is placed partly above the still, in which tub the
doubler is inclosed, the beer which is pumped into
the upper tub passes down by a plug pipe into the
doubling tub, where it is brought to a boiling state
before it is let into the still, which pipe is opened
or stopped when requisite by means of a plugmade
of wood, copper, or any other material.
What I claim as rav improvements arc the above
described doubling tub and the plug by which the
beer passes irom one tub to the other, or from the
tub into the still.
Having received information,amounting to proof,
that uiv patent lor the above described improve
ments has been violated by several distillers in this

• Toll me,'with what confidence canst thou lie
down to sleep, and pass away the darkness of the
night, unless thou shalt first arm thyself by fervent
and devout prayer ?”
St. Chrysostum de Otando Benin.

Thou Sun of righteousness, most bright,
Rising in glory evermore,
And never setting—giving store .
Of food, life, gladness, unto all
That duly on they bounties call :
Vouchsafe, lireat God ! on me to shine,
Shed on my mind thy.rays divine,
Illume its darkness, as the day ;
Disperse inv sins’ black mists away :
From error’s path my footsteps guide,
Nor let me from thy presence slide.

Be with me now and evermore!

Marriage of Vulcnu nml Venus.
At u public meeting laid in Shclfield, England,
on tlio occui*imi ol laying the comer utone of u new
building for the Shdllrdd Athemt-um und .Mechanics’
Institute, Lord Mnnwth miulo tin admirable hpct'ch,
in the cous'mi of which he made utlindon to the
I'ubuluu* iitory uf Vulcan uitU Venn*, in the billow
ing Unppy ntanner.
••Those of vmi who huu' the opportunity of emi
suiting the old legends und classical mythology, uro
aware tlmt ivnong tl»o fancied demon with which
they peopled their world, one more especially \vu*
regarded as the god of labor and oi’ handicraft,
Vulcan by name, who was always represented as;
employed in huge smithies and workshops, ham
mering at heavy anvils, blowing huge bellows, |
boating furnaces, and begrimmod with soot and |
dirt. Well, ladies and gentlemen, for this hard- !
working and swarihy-looking divinity they wished !
to pick out a wife, (loud laughter.) And they did j
not select for him a mere drab-~a person taken ,
from the scullery or kitchen dresser; but they'
chose fur him Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.
Now*, ladies and gentlemen, pick out for me the j
moral of this talc, for I believe that nothing ever !
was invented—certainly nothing by the polished i
and brilliant imagination of the Grecian intellect— I
which has not its meaning and its moral. I have i
no doubt that all the legends of our own country— ;
that the one even of your own neighborhood, the
Dragon of Wantly, it.-elf has some appropriate
allegory and meaning, if we-only knew how to find
them out. But what is the special meaningofthe
marriage of Vulcan with Venus—of the hard
working artificer with this laughter-loving queen
—of labor with beautv i
nut is it. ladies and gentlemen, but this: That;
in a busy hive ol' industry ami toil like this. |
. here, upon a spot which is hi many respects I
no inapt representation of the tabled workshop of j
Vulcan—even hero, amid the clang of anvils, the :
noise of furnaces, and the sputtering of Jorges— j
even here, amid stunning sounds and sooty black- !
ness, the mind—the untrammcled mind—may go j
forth, may pierce the dim atmosphere which is j
poised around us. may wing its way to the freer t
air and purer light are beyond, and may al-
Iv itself with all .that is most fair, general, and
lovely in creation. (Applause.) So. gentlemen. 1
sav. your labor, your downright, hard, swarthy la
bor, may make itself the companion, the help-mate. 1
and the husband of beauty. I dare say, and have
reason to believe, from the inspection which I am
able even now to command, and 1 have no doubt a
more intimate acquaintance with your wives, sis
ters and daughters, would enable me to prove that
I was not wrong in my illustration. But above this
beauty. 1 say your labor may ally itself with intel
lectual beauty—the beauty connected with the play
of fancy, with the achievements of art,and with the
c:cation of genius—beauty such as painting fixes
upon theglowingcauvass—such as the sculptor em
bodies in the breathing marble—such as architec
ture developes m her stately and harmonious pro
portions, such as music clothes with the enchant
ments of sound. But theVc is a beauty of a still
higher order, with which- I feel more assured it is
still open to it to unite itself. I mean with moral
beauty—beauty connected with the affections, the 1
conscience, the heart, and the life. (Loud cheers.)
It is mo<t. true that in the busiest and blackest ol
your workshops—in the most wearying and mon
! otonous tasks of daily drudgery, us also in the ve
ry humblest of your own dwellings—by the
smallest of vonr firesides—you may, one and each
of )<ni, instlie zealous and cheerful discharge of the
daily duty, in respect lor the just rights, and in con
sideration for the leelings of others—in a meekness
and sobriety of spiril. and in the thousand charities
and kindnesses of social and domestic intercourse
—even thus you may attain-to. and exhibit the
moral beauty to which I have spoken—beauty be
yond all others in degree and excellence, because
in proportion as it can be reached it makes up the
perfection of man’s nature here below, and is the
most faithful reflection of the will of his Creator
(applause:) and thus L close my explanation of
the marriage of Vulcan with Venus, of labor with
beauty.
Kissisig
b’ome'one, we don't know who. sty?, that e\er !
since Jacob kissed Rachael at the well, kissing has j
been a Token ot‘ love between the sexes. i
This is u fact which v.c are called upon to wit-.
ness almost every day. though the philosophy ol i
the matter we ran never understand. True, uci
arc not so phlegmatic as 10 say we never lelt a j
strange thrill trembling through every nerve when |
our lips-have met somebody's, yet why the simple |
meeting of the lips should cause exquisite pleasure.!
we never could divine. In all ages of the world, i
from .the time Jacob made the great discovery o! ;
the virtues that resided inflow lips, until the* present ,
generation, kissing has been considered one ol the >
chief blessings of life. To render kissing truly de- ‘
lightfid. however, the lips that meet must be those :
of men'and maidens. For thpfg of one sex to kiss ;
each other, it is too much (to use"' the classical l
figure of a certain young lady) like mush ar.d i
johnny-cake. Yet so fond are the ladies, generally, j
of this delightful exercise, and its thrilling e^ijoy- :
ment, that you will find them on all suitable occa
sions, kissing each other—while they imagine the
worm lips that press theirs to he the Up- uf -ome
true lover, “ that's far, far away."
Poets in all ages have sung of the rapturous de
lights of kissimr. A certain one—we do not know
his name—made a line of poetry between every
kiss which his sweetheart gave him.
Genius and Confidence,

that dilfidence is the companion of genius know |
very little of the workings of the human heart.—
True, there may have been a few such instances. ,
and it is probable that iti this maxim, as in most, ■
die exception made the rule. But what could '
'ever reconcile genius to its sufferings, its sacrifices. |
'its fevered inquietudes, the intense labor which j
can alone produce what the shallow world deems .
the giant offspring of a momentary inspiration:;
what sould ever reconcile it to these but the haugh-1
ty and unquenchable eonsciouness of- internal j
power: the hope which has the fulness of certain-1
ty that in proportion to the toil is the reward: the !
sanguine and impetuous anticipation of glory, which |
burst the boundaries of time and space and ranges 1
with a prophet’s rapture the immeasurable regions of
immortality I Rob genius of its confidence, of its
lofty self-esteem and you clip the wings of the
eagle, you domesticate, it is true, the wanderer
you could not hitherto comprehend, in the narrow
.bounds of your household a flections: you abase
and tame it more to the level of your ordinary
judgements—the walled in and petty circumference
of your little and commou-place moralities—but
you take from it the power to soar; the hardihood

Religion in Palaces.
It is related that when the late Duke of Kent
was expressing concern about the state of his soul
in the prospect of death, his physician endeavored
to soothe his mind by referring to his high station,
and his honorable conduct in the distinguished sit
uation in which Providence had placed him—and
that the Duke stopped him short by saying, “No;
remember if I am to be saved , it is not as a frixce,
but as a sisxer.” ‘ On asking his physician if he
were accustomed to pray, the latter replied, “ Please
your royal highness, I hope I say my prayers; but
shall I bring a prayer ppqk No,” was the
answer; “what I mean is, that if yoii are
temed to pray for yourself, you could pray f«r me
in my present situation.” The doctor then asked
if he should call the duchess. “Do,” said the
prince; the duchess came and offered up a most
affecting prayer in behalf of her beloved husband.
“ Not' many wise men after the flesh, not fflaiiy
mighty, not many noble are called.” “ How hardly J
says He who cannot err, “shall they that have
riches enter into the kingdom of heaven—with
man this is impossibly hbt with God all things are
possible.” The late Countess of Huntingdon used
.to say, she was thankful for the letter M in the
word “many” in the passage above quoted; if that
had been left out, she should have been excluded
.from heaven
The Mobility of Labor.!

Better. I say. not because of that splendor and
beauty, but because the creating of them ik better
than the tilings .themselves: because exertion is
nobler than enjoyment; because the laborer is
gieator and more worthy of honor than the idler..
-1 call upon those whom I address, to stand up
for the nobility of labor. It is Heaven's great or
dinance for human improvement. Let not llid
great ordinance be broken down.
What do i say 7 It is broken down’; and it has
been broken down for ages. Let it then be built up
again—here, if any where, on of anew
world—of a new civilization. But how, it.may be
asked, is it broken down? Do not men toil, it may
be said? They do indeed toil, but they too gener
ally do it because they must.
iManv submit to it as, in some sort, a degrading
necessity; and desire nothing so much on earth as
O; cape from it. They fulfil the gre.tt law ol labor
in the letter, but break it in spirit. To some lield
ol labor, mental or manual, every idler should has
ten, as a chosen, coveted lield of improvement.
But so he is not impelled to do under the teach
ings of our imperfect civilization. On the contra
ry, he sits down, to fold his hands, and blesses him
self in idleness. This way of thinking is the heri
tage of the absurd and unjust feudal system under
which serfs labored, and gentlemen spent their lives
in lighting and feasting. It is time that this oppro
brium of toil were done away.
Ashamed to toil art thou? Ashamed of thy
dignity, w orkshop and dusty labor lield 5 of thy
hard hand, scarred with service, more honorable
than that of war—of thy solid and weather stain
ed garments on which mother nature has embroi
dered mist, sun and rain, fire and steam, her own
heraldic honors ? Ashamed of these tokens and
titles, and envious of the Haunting robes of imbe
cile idleness and vanity ? It is treason to nature—
it is impiety to Heaveft—it is breaking Heaven's
great ordinance. Toil, I repeat, toil, either of the
brain, of the heart, or of the hand, is the only true
manhood, the only true nobility.

It is Thanksgiving Hay, Lizzy, and.my thoughts
have been wandering backward, far over the cur
rent of years. Reflection is indeed an angel, when
the points out the errors of the past, and gives us
courage to avoid them in future. Maggie is read
ing the book of Job, and this evening my spirit
more than ever looks up in thankfulness to God for
the Bible. Heaven’s purest gift to mortals. It is
the star of eternity, whose mild rays coni® twink
ling to the nether sphere; erring man’s guide to
wisdom, virtue and Heaven. The Bible is the
book of books.
In comparison. Byron lose? his fire. Miltou his
soaring. Gray his beauties, and Homer his gran
deur and figures. No eye like rapt Isaiah's ever
pierced the vale of the future; no tongue ever rea
soned like sainted Job; no poet ever sung like
Israel’s Shepherd King, and Gtd never made a
wiser man than Solomon. The word* of the Bible
are pictures of Immortality, dews from the tree of
Knowledge, pearls from the river of life, and gems
of celestial thought. As the moaning shell whis
pers of the sea, so the Bible breathes of love m
Heaven, the home of angels and joys too pure to
die. Would I had read it more when my poor
eyes could see. Would more of its jiure precepts
were bound about my heart, and I had wisdom to
make, them the mpttoes of ray life. ■ The world
may entertain' its' ideas of a magnificent Deity
whose government is general, but let me believe
in the Lord God of Elijah, whose providence is
entire, ordering the minutest event in human life,
and with a 'father's pare arranging it for this- great
est possible good. Yes, Lizzy, when storms gather
and my sopulchral way is dark and drear, with no
star to guide nor voice to- cheer, my, sinking spirit j
finds refuge in tho world-wide sympathies of a [
Saviour, who did not chide Mary for her toarE, and
came himself to weep at the. grave of his friend.
My dear Lizzy. I lear I have written you too

liremlftii Case of Hydrophobia
As much excitement lmft prevailed in tho (tom*
inanity respecting tho coho ol' Mr. Jacob Friei, 0t
Warwick, and many misunderstanding* havo tokens
rise respecting it, wo doom, it proper to give the
public nomo account of tho sumo 1 :
Mr. Frio* designing to go to Philadelphia on the
morning .of November the Q3d last, arose at about
iwo o’clock—and hearing some noise among his
poultry, went*to where his fowls were, found there
,i *nmli turrier dog, which he caught running, and
was immediately bitten by the dog in the left hand,
ami particularly in the little finger, where the chief .
wound was. He secured the dog after a short con
flict, and ried him on the piazza 61 his
design in keeping the dog, being to detect the per
sons to whom he belonged, and whom he supposed
to be robbing hi£ hen-roost.. He took considerable
pains to discover an owner, but found none—for
this purpose he sent him to the school-house, that
any of the children might if possible identify him;
—he also took him to Doyelatown on the 25th for!
the same purpose ; and turned the dog loose, and l
followed him to near Kirk's tavern, in Horsham,'
on the o ith. The dog died on the morning of the!
-.7th. It is not known that the dog eat anything;
during the time he was at Fries’. Before he died,j
lie gnawed his fore paws nearly off. A'dog'ot!
Fries’ was bitten by him, and died about three
weeks after.
The morning of the 21th of Februaryl last,!
hist, about 2 o’clock, Mr. Fries was awakened by j
a very sharp and acute pain, which he supposed to;
be rheumatism, in the little finger that'was bitten.;
and at the seat of the wound, (which had healed!
up, however, about as. soon as ordinary wounds do.) '
The pain extended to the middle of the left hana,
thence down to the ends of the other fingers of the
same hand, thence up the left arm, across his breast;
and down the right arm to the ends of the fingers!
of the right hand. The time occupied in this;
transition of the pain, was about fifty-six
After this, (to wit, on Saturday night.) he awoke- ’
with tremendous pain in his head and back of the
neck, which he complained of and expressed on
opinion that it would make him crazy. With ixv
tcrvals, this pain .continued until Sunday eve
ning, when he obtained some relief from a prepai
; ration for rheumatism. On Monday he ate his
dinner with his usual.appetite, and drank three cups
of tea. About an hour before sunrise he asked his
wife for a bowl of water, in which he directed her
to put some molasses and vinegar. When this was
presented to him, he exhibited the first symptoms
of the dread of water, forming the distinguishable
character istic of the disease. He could not even
take the bowl in hand, but threw himself back
ward, and showed' difficulty in breathing, similar
to a person suddenly plunged in cold water—the
