.Warren county, (Virginia,) Land :
at Private Sale.
THE subscriber is desirous tq dispose of his val
uable Farm, situated on the Shenandoah River,
five miles above Front Royal (the county town) and
• containing about 400 acres, a large proper
tion of which is first quality meadow. This 4s§ga
Farm is beautifully timbered, well watered,
admirably lQcated in point of health, conve
nience, and society. The greater part of this land
is in the highest state of cultivation, well set in
clover, and highly productive; upon the Farm are
M Several comfortable Dwelling Houses, and an
excellent store house, and the greatest abun
dance of the finest fruit of all descriptions. If
' desirable this Farm might be divided into two or
more Farms, giving to each a sufficiency of timber
and water, and when the improvement
of the Shenandoah River shall be completed (which
it soon will be) this property cannot fail to be im
mensely valuable. I deem it unnecessary to give
a more detailed description as persons desiring to
purchase will doubtless examine for themselves.

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

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

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 !

A Heart la the Right Place.
1 am wedded, said Coleridge, to the fortunes ot
my sister and poor old father. Oh, my friend, I
think sometimes could I Tecall the days that are
past, which among them I shoitid choose! Not
those *• merrier days," not - those pleasant days of
hope," not the wanderings with the fair-haired maid,
winch I have so ofteu and so feelingly regretted,
but the days, Coleridge, of a mother’s fondness for
her" school-bov. What would I give to call her
back to earth lor one day, on my knees to a3k her
pardon for those little asperities of temper, which,
from time to time, have given her spirit pain ' —
and the day, my friend. I trust will come. There
will be time enough for offices of love, if Heaven’s
eternal years be ours. Hereafter her meek spirit
shall not reproach me.. Oh, my friend, cultivate
the filial feelings—and let no man think hirn.-elf
released from the kind “ character" of relationship.
'These shall give him peace to the last. These are
i the best foundations for every species of benevo
, fence.— Charles Lamb.
Evil Speaking.
That you may not spank ill of any, Jo not de
light to hear ill of them. 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.

A Tale of Horror!
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!
