Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, Spitting Blood, Pain in the side, and breast, Sore ThroaJ, Hoarseness, Palpatation of the Heart, Whooping Cough, Hives, Nervous Tremors, Liver Complaint, and Diseased Kid neys, are radically cured, by Thompson's Com pound Syrup of Tar and Wood Naptha. ALTHOUGH the great fatality of Pulmonary Diseases, at this time shows that there are particular cases that render still too applicable the designation, appr’obia medicorum —the disgrace of physicians—to this call of diseases; and that there are stages in their progress, which haying once been reached, recovery is doubtful. Still no one should despair. The writings of physicians, who have given to these affections particular attention, abound with many recorded cases of recovery when the patient had reached a seeming hopeless stage ol the disease ; and there is at this time, a remedy 'prepared in Philadelphia which has met with the most triumphant and cheering success in the most obstinate forms of Throat and Pulmonary Diseases —so as to have obtained the sanction and employ ment in the practice of many physicians. Allusion is had to Thompson’s Compound Syrup of Tar and Wood Naptha—the preparation of one. who, having given to diseases of the Lungs and their means of cure, the most careful and thorough attention, presented to the public this great remedy. The soothing and curative power of TAR lias often been observed in severe coughs, and Con sumption. But in the above preparation, beside some of our most valuable vegetable pectorals there is conjoined with it the Wood Naptha, a med icine but lately introduced, but which has been employed 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. 18, 1847. Messrs. Angney it Dickson :—Gentlemen—Hav ing recommended in my practice, and used in my own family, Thomson’s Compound Syrup of Tar and Wood Naptha, I have no hesitation in saying that it is one of the bpst preparations of the kind in use, and persons suffering from colds, coughs, af fections of the throat, breast, &r., so prevalent at this season of the year, cannot use any medicine that will cure or prevent Consumption sooner than Thomson’s Compound S'vnim of Tar and Wood Naptha.

Christian Charity. BY D. P. BROWS, ESQ,. Belonging to the great family of mankind, Ilook upon all, without regard to sect or condition as ray friends and my brethren. Show the the man that agrees in the essentials of Christianity, and who practically endeavors to conform to them, and I disregard all mere sectarian distinctions. Depend upon it, he is your enemy, and no true soldier of the Cross, no disciple of the meek and lowly Sa viour, who shall attempt to stimulate you to hatred, to strife, and to bloodshed. You-are all children of the same Republic, and she all-with the same benignant and maternal eye. You all, though in various forms, worship at Heaven’s High Altar, and in the spirit of that worship, should dwell in harmony and love. The best practical and least questionable denotement of sincerity and sanctity of heart, is the open, volmitary, and unreserved re linquishment of those prejudices and passions by which mankind are too often severed and sundered from each other; which disguise and deform the fair face of nature ; which obliterate from the soul the cherished image ot the Creator; which distract families, communities, and countries of professing Christians, and enlist one against another in un sparing war to the manifest injury, it not the utter annihilation, of ail. Like bloody brothers, fighting for a birthright, Wounding the parent bosom that would part them. Brotherly love is the essence of piety; or in other words, it is the very foundation upon which Reli gion is built; and upon examination it will appear that there is no affection of the human heart, the exercise oi' which is so frequently and so solemnly enjoined upon men in the word of God, as that of love,—mutual brotherly love. k - Love one anotheiV For love is of God, and one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God; he that loveth not knoweih not- God, —for God is love. All thoughts, alkpaesiuns, all delights, Whatever stirs this mortal frame, All are but ministers of Love, And feed upon his sacred flame. If you would imitate your great exemplar, who died for the sins of all mankind, and for the re- , deniption of even those through whose very agen cy he perished, furnishing thereby a practical ex ample of the sublime lessons which he taught.— I.ove even your enemies." If this be the doc trine. therefore, addressed to mankind in general, how peculiarly appropriate is it to a body of pro fessing Christians, avowed soldiers of the Cross, and declared disciples of the Saviour. Christian charity and religious toleration may be despised by those who live in open opposition to religion <uul Christianity; hut even their condition must he preferable, far preferable, to that of others, who. having enlisted under the divine banner, are in the daily exercise of those principles which arc calcu lated to bring their faith into odium, venroach. or contempt. And it is perfectly in vain for any man to entertain a hope of forgiveness through the me diation of the Saviour, though lie should wear out the stones of the altar by kneeling in prayer, who at the same time withholds his forgiveness from the comparatively venial errors or transgressions of a fellow man towards himself. If this doctrine be true und who dares doubt it, what right have we to draw lines, and create distinctions between mere inodesjoi worship, when it is remembered that all religion is the product of the renewed heart ? What right hu\c we, assuming to ourselvek the attribute of the Deity, to steal, as it the livery ot' Heaven, to serve the Devil in, and priding our selves upon our virtue, like the self-righteous Phar isee, to condemn our brother, because, although he believes as we do, he may surround the body of his belief with a different apparel, and recommend or enforce it by different ceremonials, and call himself by another mime, and worship in another temple ? To the eye of the Creator, garments are nothing— ceremonies are nothing—names are nothing—tem ples are nothing, except so lar as they are sanctified through faithful and devout hearts, and spirtually dedicated to the living God. There are no Presby terians, no Episcopalians, no Roman Catholics, np Sectaries, in Heaven. There they are all Christians, —and all other titles are merged and lost forever in the eftulgency of that. Not so in Hell. There, shall be found professors of every denomination,: — all asserting their various and anomalous creeds, all engaged in fearful conflict around the lurid throne ol Lucifer, and adding to the horrors of sin and punishment, the abomination of eternal delusion and hypocrisy. There can certainly be no objec tion to the adoption of different denominations by the disciples of the Cross, provided they should not differ in point of principle. That is that they shall believe in all that is enjoined by our Saviour, as a matter ol faith, —and in nothing that is incompatible with his authority. But one thing is -certain, that they never can so agree, when they engage in im placable and unsparing war, upon the subject of mere outward forms, which play around the head, but never reach the hqart. This is an abandonment of the substance h.rrhe \a\:e of the shadow. A mere fuiumli&t never can be saved. Religion as has been said, is no matter of form: and whatever may be our profession, positive iniqufty will always be found with that party, or that sect, which is most prone to condemn other professing Christians who shall venture to establish a course - ’of worship differing simply in its mode. Such condemnation exhibits two principles, both utterly incompatible \\ ith the Christian character,though most intimately connected with, and powerfully supported by. each other. One is that of Pride, -selfish Pride, which will not admit of any difference of opinion. The other, is a want of Christian Charity, which de tects and punishes all sins but its own: and they ■ both prove, as bus been observed, a want oi' true religion, however abundantly it may be professed. Bare justice towards each other is not sufficient. Charity, bounty and liberality must be added. If justice were to have lull sway, what would be the lot or condition of men i Why, all the souls that were, were forfeit once, And lie that might the vantage.best have took Found out the remedy. How would you be If lie, which is the top of judgment, should But judge you as you are 7- .0! think on that, And mercy then will breathe within your lips, Like men new made.'* A Happy Retort. When Lord Ellenborough was Chief Justice, a laboring bricklayer was called as a witness; when he came up to be sworn, his lordship said to him “really, witness, when you have to appear before this Court, it is your bounden duty to be more | clean and decent in your appearance.” i; . Upon my life,” said the witness, u if your lordship conies to that, I’m thinking I*m every bit as well dressed as your lordship.” “ How do you mean,.9ir F* said his lorship, angrily. “ Why faith,” said the laborer, “ you come here in your working clothe* and I’m come in mine” , ' Lamartine. The name of this distinguished Republican is in timately associated with the glorious and successful 'Revolution in France. His eloquence has moved the hearts of the his moderation has pre vented the shedding of bfbod ; and his firmness has awed into submission the courtiers and flatterers of the crown. Lamartine is a poet, historian and philosopher, as well as a statesman. Indeed, he is considered the greatest living poet of the French nation. In the last number of‘the National Era , L,G. iWhiuier, the corresponding editor of that pa per, gives a translation of a thrilling poem, written many years since by Lamartine, and presented to the Academy of Marseilles, on the eve of his em barkation for the Holy Land. In the Foreign Quarterly Review, for 1837, we find a translation of the samei beautiful poem, which we think was.in finitely superior to that of Whittier, and therefore prefer adopting-it. The piece breathes the purest and holiest sentiments: Thought! on the Holy laud. I have not felt on the sea of cand The slumberous rocking of the desert bark, Nor quenched my thirst at eve with quivering hand, By Hebron's well, beneath the palm tree dark ; Nor in the pilgrim’s tent my mantle spread, Nor laid.me in the dust where Job hath lain, Nor, while the caavass murmured over head, Dreampt Jacob’s mystic dream again. Of the world’s pages, one is yet unread ; How the stars tremble in Chaldea’s sky, With vyhat a sense of nothingness we tread, How. the heart beats when God appears so nigh; How on the soul, beside some column lone, The shadows of old days descend and hover, — How the grass speaks, the earth sends out its moan, And the breeze wails that wanders over. I have not heard in the tall cedar top. The cries of nations echo to and fro ; Nor seen from Lebanon the eagles drop On Tyre’s deep-buried palaces below ; I have not lain \riv head upon the ground Where Tadmor’s temples in the dust decay, Nor startled, with my footfall’s dreary sound, The waste where Memnon’s empire lay. 1 have not stretched where Jordan’s current flows, Heard how the loud lamenting river weops, : With moans and cries sublimer e’en than those With which the mournful Prophet stirred its deeps; Nor felt the transports which the soul inspire In tlie deep grot, where he', the bard of Kings, Felt at the dead of night, a hand of flame Seize on the harp, and sweep the strings. I have not wandered o'er the plain, whereon, _ Beneath the olive tree, the Saviour wept; Nor traced his tears the hallowed trees upon, Which jealous angels, have not all out wept; Nor in the garden watched, through night sublime, Where, while the bloody sweat was undergone. The echo - of his sorrows and our crime Running in one listening ear alone ! Nor have I bent my forehead on the spot Where his ascending footsteps pressed the clay ; Nor won With lip® the iui.k-hc.N»ii npot, Where in his mother’s tears embalmed lie lay ; Nor smote my breast on that sad mountain-head, . Where, even in death, conquering the powers of His arms, as to embrace our earth, he spread, And bowed his head to bless it there ! Din Franklin’* Moral Code. The groat American philosopher and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, drew up the following list of moral virtues, to which he paid constant and earn est attention, and thereby made himself a better and a happier mail : Temperance —Eat not to fullness: drink not to elevation. i Silence —Speak uoi/but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation. Order —Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time. Resolution —Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve. Frugality —. Make no expense, but do good to others as yours'elf; that is, waste nothing. Industry —Lose no time ; be always employed in something useful; cut off’all unnecessary actions. Sincerity —Use no hurtful deceit; think innoceutly and justly ; and if yon speak, speak accordingly. Justice— Wrong none by doing injuries, or omit ting the benefits that are your duty. ? Moderation —Avoid extremes ; forbeai resenting injuries. Cleanliness —Sutler no uncleanlinesa in body, clothes, or habitation. Tranquility —Beaiot disturbed about trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable. Humility —lmitate Jesus Christ, s- A Heart la the Right Place. 1 am wedded, said Coleridge, to the fortunes ot my sister and poor old father.

Give no countenance to busy bodies, who to talk of other men's faults.— Those who-delight to haar ill of others, will soon fall in the habit of speaking ill of them. When busy bodies run uus of matter of fact, they will soon resort to conjectures and idle stories, to please those who are fond of hearing others spoken against. Such character are common nuisances, often des troying good neighborhood and the fellowship of old friends. * If we endeavor in good earnest to mind ourselves, we shall have work enough, and but little time to talk of others. ID* The moit abject , cowardly superstition, was the only curb on the sanguinary despotism of Louis XI. ot France. He entertained astrologers at his court, but irritated agaiust one of these impostors, who had foretold the death of his mistress, he sent for him, resolved without doubt not to spare him. •* Thou who seest into futurity,” said the king, “tell me when thou shalt die 1” The cunning astrologer saved himself by this reply j«I shall die three days before your majesty.” From that time great | oare was taken of the astrologer’s person. Instances of Presentiment. I have heard of several cases of people hurrying home from a presentiment of fire; and Mr. Calder wood was once, when absent from home; seized with such an anxiety about his family, that, with out being able in any way to account for it, he felt himself impelled to fly to them and remove them from the house they were inhabiting; one wing ot which fell down immediately afterwards. No notion of such a misfortune had ever before occur red to him, nor was there any reason whatever to expect it; the accident originating from some de fect in the foundation. A circumstance exactly similar to this, is related by Stilling of Professor Bohm, teacher of mathematics at Marburg; who, being one evening in company, was suddenly seized with a conviction that he ought to go home*. As, however, he’was very comfortably taking tea. and had nothing to do at home, he resisted the admoni tion ; but it returned with such force, that at length he was obliged to yield. On reaching his house, he found every thing as he had left it; but he now felt himself urged to remove his bed from the corner in which it stoo<l to another; but, as it had always' stood there, he resisted this impulsion also. How ever, the resistance was vain; absurd as i?seemed, he felt he must do it: so he summoned the maid, and, with her aid, drew the bed to the other side of the room ; after which he felt quite at ease, and returned to spend the rest of the evening with his friends. At ten o'clock the party broke up, and he retired honpe, and went to bed and to sleep. In the middle of the night he was awakened by a loud crash, and on looking out, he saw that a large beam had fallen, bringing part of the ceiliing with it, and was lying exactly on the spot his bed had occupied. One of the most remarkable cases of presentiment I know, is that which occurred not very long since on board one of her majesty’s ships, .when lying off Portsmouth. The officers being one day at the mess table, a young Lieutenant P. suddenly laid down his-knife and fork, pushed away hi* plate, and turned extremely pale. He then rose from the table, covering his face wiih his hands, and retired from the room. The president of the mess, supposing him to be ill. sent one of the young men to enquire, what was the matter. At first Mr. P. was unwilling to speak; but, on being pres sed, he confessed that he had been seized by a sud den and irresistible impression that a brother lie had then in India was dead. “He died." said he, “on the i Qth of August, at six o’clock; lam certain !of it.’ 5 No arguincuU could overthrow this con j viction, whsch, in due course of post, was verified jto the letter. The young man had died at Cawn i pore, at the precise period mentioned.— Mrs. Crouds Night Side of Nature. Memory as Affected by Disease. It is stated in several papers that Mr. Hotchkiss, of Brooklyn, who was waylaid by robbers and almost killed some months ago, is entirely recovered in his physical health, but his mind seerns much shattered. He seems tn Vmvn forgotten owrytkmg he learned during his life, and is now learning his letters again, as if he were a child. The sounds of his voice’, it is said, constitute his principal source of amusement. This is one of the many striking instances of disordered memory. Dr. Beat tie relates the case of a gentleman who, in conse quence of a violent blow on the head, lost his know ledge of Greek, but did not appear to have lost any thing else. I)r. Abercrombie also relates an in stance not less remarkable, of a lady, who, in con sequence of a protracted illness, lost the recollec tion of a period of about ten or twelve years, but spoke with perfect consistency of things as they stood before that time. A case very similar to that related by Dr. Beat tie fell under our own observation some ten years ago. It was that of a young man residing in north ern New York, who, after having made considerable progress in Latin as well as in the English branches, received a severe kick from a horse over the left eye which caused it to protrude from the socket and rendered him senseless for some days. On re covering the use of his faculties his memory was found to be so much impaired that he had forgot ten all his knowledge of Latin, rendering it neces sary to commence anew the elements of the lan guage. In other cases disease, as fever, causes a quickened mental action. Flint, in. his Recollections of the Valley of the Mississippi, says-that during the par oxysms of derangement occasioned by a violent fever, his memory was more than ordinarily exact and retentive, and that he repeated whole passages in the different languages which he knew with en tire accuracy. “ I recited," says he, “without losing or misplacing a word, a passage of poetry which I could not so repeat after I hud recovered my health.” The power of reminiscence may indeed slumber through dist-ase or other causes, but never dies. “ Each fainter trace that memory holds So darkly of departed years, la one broad glance the soul beholds And all that was at once appears.*’—.V. Y. Tost Spirit ol' Rellglou. Christ re established the unity of human nature. He taught us the principles of eternal justice, and the grand secret of all harmony and happiness,’on earth as in Heaven—love. Till we arrive to that point of hi* system, we are unacquainted with Christianity, and are ignorant of our natures and our destinies. The dogmas and the mysteries that even the very highest disciples have wrapped around this glorious sun of the Christian system — this all-embracing sentiment of universal love, have only obscured its light from us, and screened from us, its viral warmth. The gospel does not consist in doctrines aud ceremonies, but in love. But to love we must know who are,, worthy of our love; and here again the revelation of Christ embraced the infinite : Thou shalt love thy neigh bor as thyself:" And then came the question— •• Who is my neighbor?" And the answer, ex pressed in an immortal story was, “ Every one who needs thy help.” A Thought for Every Day. We see not in life the end of human actions. The indueuce never dies. In every widening circle it reaches beyong the grave. Death removes us from this to an eternal world. Every morning when we go forth, we lay the mouldering hand on our destiny, and at evening, when we have done, we have left a deathless impression upon our char acter. We touch not a wire but vibrates in etemi ,ty—a voice but reporta at the throne of God. Let youth, especially; think of these tilings, and let every oae remember that in this world character is io its -formation state—it is a serious thing to think, to speak, to act.

The following is copied verbatim from the Lim erick and Clare Reporter, Ireland“A singular in* stance ot maternal affection and melancholy misery .occurred in this city a few days since. A widow, who, unfortunately for them, was the mother of six children, found refuge in a dilapidated dwelling in one of the lanes.< The youngest of her children • fell ill and died. The whole family were in a state of the utmost destitution, and the disease rapidly mastered the young orphan’s energies. A coffin was begged. Coffin and corpse would have been borne, perhaps, without the mother's assistance, to some graveyard near. But she had lived at a dis tance of many miles from this city, and in the burial ground of her native place her friends were interred. The distance was far: and as few would consent to earn' a coffin containing a stranger so far unnecessarily, the poor mother resolved to bear it herself. She actually did- so ; she had it placed on her back, and slowly and wearily she bore it away, reached the graves of her kindred, scraped a trench, we have heard, with her own hands, and thus consigned to the earth, where she wished they should lest, the remains of her offspring. She returned to her orphans. A second took sick, died quickly, like the other; like the other was placed in a char ity coffin, and conveyed in the same way, by the unfortunate mother, to the same place of burial, and buried in like manner by her own hands. She returned again. A third child took sick, died speedily also; was stretched in a coffin procured trom the charitable ; ( borne away as before by the sorrowing mother, and interred near to the other two, by the hapless poor creature's ulmost excori ated hands. She returned a third time. A fourth child was ill; fell a victim as quickly as each of the others ; was coffined by charity, and carried off and laid by the mother beside her three other chil dren. She came back to her wretched apartment. A fifth child was seized with the malady; a fifth coffin procured; a fifth wearisome journey made alone by the mother; and a fifth body consigned to the earth, there, at all events, no longer to feel the pangs of disease, or the slow wasting progress of unalleviatetl hunger. These facts were told ns by a clergyman who had them from personal knowl edge. We state them, heart-rending and appalling as they are, without the slightest exaggeration. There were four corpses lying uninterred some days past in the parish of St. Mary's, in this. city. Life had departed in one or two cases.some days before; the bodies were almost putrid, ccrtaiuly in cipient corruption had begun. They lay exposed because coffins could not be had; the paupers died perfectly penniless. One body was removed from i the miserable tenement where death had occurred, : and was stretched on a frequented pathway, with j a sheet for a shroud, an object of horror/ 1 A Reminiscence. A correspondent of the Evening Bulletin gives the following interesting reminiscence of the visit of Lotus Philippe to Phihuiehphiii, duilng the days of his adversity. The writer states that the house No. 9*l Front street, doomed to destruction in order to open the contemplated street from Dock to Front street, projected by Jesse Godley, Esq., possesses not a little historical connection with the present King of France. It is worthy of note, at the pres ent time, as the old house, like a good many others in our city, associated with the events of begone days, will soon be among the things that have heeo. The house referred to was occupied at the time of Louis Philippe's visit to this country, now many years since, by David H. Conyngham, of the firm of Conynghum & Nesbit, and it was under its hos pitable roof that the present ex-King of the French was first entertained in America. He arrived in.a ship belonging to the above firm, and landed at Walnut street wharf. Mr. C'onyngham met him there and conducted him to his residence, where he remained, as the guest of Mr. C., for several days. What a change in his fortune since that time! An Amputated Lung.

Cham berlin, “ Old Medicine,’’ was’sent lor, and upon his arrival, and'on examination of the wound, he found that a portion of one of the lungs was protruding some two inches from the wound, it having been forced out, probably by respiration. As the case was a critical one, and requiring immediate opera tion, the doctor resorted to a new method of treat ment. The end of the protruding lung, which had been injured by the wus bound with a f.ilk thread, and the injured end cut entirely off, and the remainder forced back\into its natural location.
