Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, Blood, Pain in the side, and breast, Sore Throat, 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, approbia medicorum —the disgrace of physicians—to this call of diseases; and that there are stages in their progress, which having 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 bad reached a seeming hopeless stage of 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 has 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 witli most satisfactory results in England, in Pulmonary Consumption, especially of a Tuber culous form. Read the following from Dr. Young, the eminent oculist. Phii.adei.phia, Jan. 18, 1847. Messrs. ,’Angney & Dickson :—Gentlemen—Hav ing recommended in iny practice, and used in my own] familv, Thomson’s Compound Syrup of Tar and Wood Naptha, I have no hesitation in saving 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 Syrum ol\Tar and Wood Naptha. Wm. Young, M. D. 152 Spruce street. Philadelphia; March 9. 1544. I hereby certify that alter lingering four years with pulmonary consumption and given up by four physicians, who pronounced me incurableT\the dis ease was arrested and 1 was restored to health sole ly by the use of Thomson's Compound Syrup of Tar and Wood Naptha.

THE subscriber is desirous to 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 propor tion of which is first quality meadow. This Farm is beautifully timbered, well watered, admirably located 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 : .. several comfortable Dwelling Houses, and an |Sm|!® excellent store house, and the greatest abun- JSlS.dance of the finest fruit ol 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 projected improvement of the Shenandoah River shall be completed (which it soon will be) this property cannot fail to be im mensely valuable.

Life’s Sunny Spots. BY W3I. LEGGETT. Though life’s .a dark and thorny path. r Its goal the silent tomb, It yet some spots of sunshine hath, That smile amidst the gloom. The friend who weal or woe partakes, Unchanged xvhat’er his lot, Who kindly soothes the heart that aches, Is sure a sunny spot. The wife who halt our burthen bears, And utters not a moan ; Whose ready hand wipes off our tears, Unheeded all their own ; Who treasures every kindly word, Each harsher one forgot, And carols blithely as a bird— She's, too, a sunny spot. The child who lifts at morn and eve, In prayer-its tiny voice; Who grieves when’er its parents grieve, And joys when they rejoice, In whose bright eyes young genius glows, Whose heart, without a blot, Is fresh and pure as summer’s rose — That child’s a sunny spot. There’s yet upon life’s weary road One spot of brighter glow, Where sorrow’ half forgets its load, And tears no longer flow’; Friendship may wither, love decline, Our child dishonor blot; But still undimmed that spot will Religion lights that spot. The King of the Soil. Black sin may nestle below a crest, And crime below a crown ; As good hearts beat ’neath a fustian vest, As under a silken gown. - Shall tales be told of the chiefs who sold Their sinews to crush and kill, And never a word be sung or heard Of the men who reap and till 7 I Low in thanks to the sturdy throng Who greet the young morn withitoil ; And the burden I give my earnest Shall be this— The King of the. Son.! Then sing for the kings who have no crown But the blue sky o'er their head— Never Sultan or Dev had such power as they To withhold or to offer bread. Proud ships may hold both silver and gold, The wealth of a distant strand ; But ships would rot, and be valued not, Were there none to till the land. The wildest heath, and the wildest brake, Are rich as the richest fleet. For they gladden the wild birds when they wake, And give them food to eat. And with willing hand, and spade, ami plow, Tlif> gl.’wlilfning liuur uhall ooino, When that which is called the “ waste land’’ now Shall ring wfth the “ Harvest Home !” Then sing for the kings who have no crown Hut the him* sky o'crStheir head— Never Sultan or Duy Inuj such power as they ■» To withhold or to offer bread. —Dublin iYr//<tm. ifliaccllmmius.

It \& mild in it=> code, benevolent in its intentions, and is tenacious-of moral, religious, and political rights. It would curb the rough-shod expeditions of aristocracy over the labor of the country; and restrain the lawless aggressions of privileged wealth. It respects the rights of person, property, and conscience: it opens the door for freedom of speech and of the press. It tends to destroy inequality, suffering, and poverty. It pro tects and nurtures the general interests of society. It enacts to benefit the many, without conflicting with the constitutional rights or privileges of the minority. The wili of the many is the arch on which Slate sovereignty rests. It aids.labor, and fosters the cultivation of the soil, whence all our wealth is derived. It has no love for persecution ; but its course, like that of Truth, is onward. It levels distinctions among men, except that which arises from integrity, virtue, and merit. It exposes the grasping, avaricious’ domineering, cruel, and overbearing. It has nothing in common with in tolerance. and corruption, and depraved ambition nothing compatible with fraud, humbug, delusion, or anarchy. Its empire is founded on wisdom, freedom, and the happiness of a world how grovel ling in error, superstitution and despotism. It has no cold philosophy, but speaks to the heart of kindness, good-will, and love ; and to the ' head , of utility and progress. Ever since the dawn of the Revolution, when Bunker's heights gleamed with the red light of war: when our skies were illuminated with the beacon fires of liberty ; when the sun of American independence shone out bright and warm ; ever since the patriots of 1770, and the statesmen of that memorable dav, preached from the rude hustings the sublime doctrine ol the rights of man: the equality of the masses; old customs were no longer sanctified 1 , old habits no more re vered ; and the loyalty of prejudice for kingcraft, priestcraft, and English laweraft. evaporated from the bosoms of man. They knew nothing but the law of God : -Do unto others as you would that others should do unto you ; r ’ and the dogmas of a Christian tyrant, whose code was not of Him who came to bring peace on earth, were levelled to the dust. The cause of Democracy has been onward from that period to this. But Federalism is the old serpent who would beguile us, ;is the devil did our first parents, and with a mere song of gratification to our animal nature. It has nothing for the heart or intellect. It is the stationary party. It has broached no new idea since the day of Hamilton, and we challenge contradiction on this point. ' Its dogmas are of a rotten British court, and its prin ciples are entirely monarchical. Newspapers. Encourage liberty of speech therefore! En courage it in your halls of legislation ! Encourage it in your temples of justice—in your lecture rooms —in all the business of life—but above all, in your ''newspapers! Your newspapers are your mightiest preachers of earth. They are more numerous, more active, and more listened to; and with them—lib erty ol speech is every thing; not everything for them , for they can get along, and do get along, as you may see, and prosper all the better, and grow all the richer sometimes, for not being permitted to think for themselves, or to speak above their breath, but every thing for you—every thing for your chil dren—every thing lor your country—every thing tor mankind I’ I —Jo/m Neal, From the New York Sun. A Strange Class in Paris. The city reader has no doubt frequently observ ed numbers of a certain class of persons, men, women and children, who. go about the streets of New York, with a little bag or basket, and a small iron rod hooked at the end, grubbing up rags, old shoes, scraps of food, and every other description of refuse than can be turned to the least account. — These are invariably foreigners; and though the occupation is a. low one, it is far, very far higher, than to obtain a living by stealing Or any dishonest In Patis, this class of people form a regular trade, ank number altogether about 4,000. They are called chiffoniers. They have among them selves a| regular organization, and exercise their vigilance and iron hooks in allotted districts, that each may not interfere with the other. Indeed, this bond of union is strong enough to resist any invasion;.upon their rights, which the government may threaten them with. In year 183*2, the cholera -raged dreadfully in Paris, for a more con genial locality for that destructive infection could not be found t and, alarmed at its ravages; the mu nicipal council made new and severe regulations for cleansing the streets. The chiffoniers revolted to a man ! They burnt the trumbrels of the con tractors employed to clear the public thorough fares, ransacked their contents for their hidden wealth which they considered as their own, and created a ferment which the unsettled state of the lower orders in Paris threatened to swell to a new revolution. Travellers tell us that in Cairo, which rivals Paris in filth, the streets are cleaned by the tame vulture,; the appearance of which, remarks a recent writer -on Egypt, il trom the nature of its occupa tion is disgusting in the extreme, though naturally it is a noble object.’’ How much more disgusting is the aspect of that far nobler being, man, when covered with rags, picking out a wretched subsis tence from the offal of the streets ! How degraded when, instead of living on the spontaneous pro ductions of nature, like the savage, he subsists on the refuse of other men, left to putrify in the streets! Of course, the Parisian chiffoniers live most miserably. Some hire a room for the week.— some a bed for the night,—just as may be conve nient ; for a great portion of them are ambulatory, and have no fixed residences, choosing the fields around Paris for their summer beds, but patroni zing the brokers' temporary accommodations in winter; When they have a fixed habitation, it is of the filthiest description. They desposit the dir ty produce of their researches, and there they as sort them in the midst, with the help of their chil dren. The floor is scattered with rags, fragments of broken meat, glass, paper, &c. These are crowded in every corner of the room, and under the bed; so that it is impossible to enter without being almost stilled by a stench which habit alone makes endurable. 10. increase me misaaiui «u us ing from the place, most of the chiffoniers keep a great dog, and sometimes two, in their chambers, which accompany them in their nightly rounds. Such is a brief description of a grade in Paris. We might-offset the fact by a similar accounts ap plicable. to London, where the class of grubbers and beggars, is. if possible, still more extensive, and their habits of life quite as filthy.

A Title* Nat many years ago, a Polish lady of plebeian birth, but of exceeding beauty ami accomplishments, won the affections of a young nobleman, who. hav ing her consent, solicited her from her father in marriage, and was refused. We may, easily ima gine the astonishment of the nobleman. " Am 1 not,” said he, "of sufficient rank, to aspire to your daughter's hand ?” “ You are undoubtedly of the best blood in Po land.” And my fortune and reputation, are they not " Your estate is magnificent, and your conduct is irreproachable.” " Then, having your daughter's consent, how should I expect a refusal r " This, sir,” the father replied, "is my only child, and her happiness is the chief concern of my life. All the possessions of fortune are precarious ; what fortune gives, at her caprice she takes away. I sse no security for the independence and comfortable living of a wife but one : in a word, I am resolved, that no one shall be the husband of my daughter, who' is not at the same time master of a trade /” The nobleman bowed, ami retired silently. A year or two after, the father was sitting at the door, and saw approaching house wagons laden with baskets, and at the head of the cavalcade, a person in the dress of a basket-maker. And who do you suppose it was? The former suiter of his daughter —the nobleman, turned basket-maker. He was now master of a trade, and brought the wares made by Tiis own hands for inspection, and a certificate from his employer in testimony of his skill. The condition being fulfilled, iro farther obstacle was opposed to the marriage. But the story' is not yet done. The Revolution came—fortunes were plundered—and lords were scattered as chaff before the four winds of Heaven. Kings became beggars —some of them the noble Pole sup ported his wife, and her father in the infirmities of age, by his basket making-industry. A Philosopher, - A poor jolly weaver in this city, not many years ago, had a fortune left him by a distant and weal thy relative, who "went off the handle” in England rather unexpectedly. When the news came to the poor fellow, as he sat clicket-te-elack at his loom, he stopped still and said : " Well, I suppose I must spend this money straight.” The fortune, some twenty odd thousand dollars, was duly realized and duly spent. For two brief years did the poor weaver travel, make merry, and riot upon the luxuries of the land. But two years did the job, and he returned to his loom as poor as a church mouse, but merry as a cricket, and worked away again for his daily bread, perfectly satisfied with the "good time” he had had while his fortune lasted. His friends called him green, but he laughed at their gibes and worked the hardef. In a twelve month's time, off popped another relative, and the news, post haste, came to the jolly weaver, that he was again the possessor of a handsome fortune. Stopping his loom, and looking sorrowfully on the letter, he dcspondingly said : " Good Heavens 1 is it possible I must go through ull that ugain l M —lto* ton Rambler. Female Dress. The following remarks are from one who ought to be good authority on such subjects—the Count ess of Bl^ssington: What a multiplicity of pretty things we women require to render us what we consider presenta ble ! and how few of us, however good-looking we may chance to be, would agree with the poet, that needs not the foreign aid of ornament, but is, when unadorned, adorned the most.” Even the fairest of the sex like to enhance the charms of nature by the aid of dress, and the plainest hope to become less so by its assistance. Men are never sufficiently sensible of our hu mility, in considering dress so necessary to increase our attractions in order to please them, nor grate ful enough for the pains we bestow in the attempts. Husbands and lathers are particularly insensible to this amiable desire on the parts of their wives and daughters; and, when asked to pay the heavy bills incurred in consequence of this praiseworthy humility and desire to please, evince any feeling rather than that of satisfaction. It is only admir ers, not called upon, to pay these said bills, who duly appreciate the cause and effect, and who can hear of women passing whole hours in tempting shops, without that elongation of countenance pe culiar tc husbands and fathers. I could not help thinking with the philosopher, how many things I saw to-day that could be done without. If woman could be made to understand that costliness of attire seldom adds to beauty, and often deteriorates it, a great amelioration in expense could be accomplished Transparent muslin, the cheapest of all mate rials, is one of the prettiest, too, for summer's wear, and, with the addition of some bows of dleicate colorod riband, or a bouquet of fresh flowers, forms a most becoming dress. The lowness of the price of such, a robe enables the purchaser to have so frequent a change of it, t that even those who are far from rich may have half a dozen, while one single robe of a more expensive material will cost more; and having done so, the owner will think it right to wear it more frequent than is consistent with the freshness and purity that should ever be the distinguishing characteristics in female dress, in order to indemnify herself for the expense. I was never more struck with this fact than a short time ago, when I saw two ladies seated next each other, both young and handsome; but one, owing to the freshness of her robe, which was of simple organdie, looked infinitely better than the' other, who was quite as pretty, but who, wearing a robe of expensive lace, whose whiteness had fal len into the * ; sear and'yellow leaf." appeared faded and passe. Be wise, then, ye young and fair; and if, as I suspect, your object btj, to please the lords of the creation, let your dress in summer be snowy white muslin, never worn after its pristinepurity becomes problematical; and in winter, let some'half dozen plain and simple silk gowns be purchased, instead ui me iwu u» iiwee c.vpcusivc ones mat generally form the wardrobe, and which, consequently, soon, not only lose itheir lustre, but give the wearer the appearance of having suffered the same fate. And you, O husbands and fathers, present and future, be ye,duly impressed with a sense of your manifold obligations to me for thus opening, the eyes of your wives and daughters how to please without draining your purses i uml, when the mab edictlona of lace, velvet, ami satin sellers full on my hapless bead, fur council so injurious to their interests, remember they are incurred fbr yours 1 It In Humv to bo ItllNtulion.

We-ought not to give heed to tales that vilify and and abuse a neighbor. It is easy to be mistaken. It may be that no such thing as is alleged against him has ever been done, and innocence may be where guilt is imputed. It is godlike to awaken joy and relieve distress; here there can be no mistake. Opportunities are frequent whereby we may assist and benefit a fel low-being. To produce smiles and gladness, in stead oi weepiiig and sorrow, is certainly a Chris tian act. How greatly do we err, when indulging in an acrimonious and bitter temper towards those whom we imagine, have injured and offended us. It may be, and probably is, true, that they are mistaken in relation to the supposed injury. We ought not, as we too often do, seek to bite and to devour one another. If we would reflect credit upon ourselves, and confer honor upon humanity, we must be charitable and forgiving. Relieved as society is, in such a great measure, from the dread ful evil and curse of intemperance, and enjoying as we now do exemption from one of the most in jurious practices that ever obtained among men, it seems to be our duty more than ever to aim at a high standard of moral excellence. Not only should we speak no evil to one another, but we should endeavor to do good to all. The means of usefulness we are furnished with ; the object upon which they may be brought to bear, and upon which good may be produced, do constantly sur round us. Let us, therefore, study to render our fellow-men services that will be gratifying and ac ceptable ; let us learn to forgive one another the faults that have, been committed, and to be kind gentle, and courteous to each other. Unless mutu al concession is made, and mutal forbearance ex ercised, much happiness will be lost. Taking an Autograph.

Bonaparte’s Opinion of Christ. The following conversation is said, we krow not with what authenticity, to have been rekted by General Monthelon. Monthelon is well kn >wn as the faithful adherent of Napoleon in his fall and his amanuensis at St. Helena, in giving the world a history of the life and times ol the great warrior. These sentiments are worthy of the greatest mere man towards the greatest of all beings, who, though -immortal once, put on mortality, and became visi ble in the fashion of men. —Trade Reg. "I know men,” said Napoleon, “and I tell you that Jesus is not a man! The religion ofc Christ is a mystery which subsists by its own fo ce, and proceeds from a mind which is not a humar mind. YVe find in it a marked individuality, which origi nated a train of words and actions unknown before. Jesus borrowed nothing from our knowledge. He exhibited in himself, a perfect example of his pre cepts. Jesus is not a philosopher, for his proofs are miracles; and from the first, his disciples adored him. In fact, learning and philosophy are o; ”no use for salvation; and Jesus came into the world to re veal the mysteries of Heaven and the laws of the Spirit. “Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself, founded empires; but, on what foundations did we rest the creations of our genius?
