CLOVE ANODYNE

4 An Immediate and perfect Cure.
T HOSE who have felt the painful throbbing and ex
cruciating pangs of this disease shooting through
their jaws.with most tormenting perseverance, and, as
is often the 'case, have received but little sympathy from
friends on such occasions, will no doubt be much pleased
to know of a remedy that will never fail to quiet forever
the unmerciful offender. This remedy is the CLOVE
ANODYNE, an unfailing cure.
The following testimony is from one of our most dis
tinguished practical Dentists

THE GREAT ENGLISH REMEDY
THE only original and genuine article fOr the
cure of Heaves, other complaints of thvespi,
ratory apparatus and derangemqpit of thsirligpstive
functions in the horse is
ICIRKBRIDE'S TATTERSALLV MIKII
POWDERS. • •
It in warranted to be perfectly safe in cases,
will not inconvenience 'the animal or i ure him
even if he has no disease; it is from four to eight
times` cheaper than most of the imitations which
are being circulated thronhoutathilcountry, being
put up in larger packages, sufficient to cure any
ordinary case of Heaves, and to administer in a
dozen cases of cold, catarrh, &c. •
At this season, while the horse is shedding his
coat his vital energy is much reduce', and he is
extremely liable to colds, &c., many cases pf incip
ient Heaves arc contracted now, but are suppressed
by pasture or warm weather, till they break' out
in full force in the fall. Thousands of horses can
be saved from future unsoundness, if when the
first symptons of cold or wheezin g is observed, a
few doses of the Tattersall's Heave Powders should
be administered. They are warranted to wholly
eradicate recent heaves at this season.
Great Spring. Purifier.—The Heave Powders
given in small doses, will be found most useful at
this season. They stimulate the skin to cast off
the superfluous hair and produce new; they loosen
the hide, give a glossy appearance to the coat, pro
tect against disease; they also form their fine
alterative and restorative powers, purify the blood
and renovate the whole system, which horses re
quire at this season as much as any of the human
race, who find a preparation of Sarsaparilla useful
to correct a vitiated state of the fluids, incident to
the change of weather, which in the spring affect
all animal as well as vegetable life.
INCREASING EVIDENCE.—Scarcely a day
passes but We receivc•marks of approbation from
our agents, and others who have used or sold the
emedy.
The following from our agent at Burlington, Vt.,
was received this morning:
Mr. Flannagan of Middlebury, says he pur-
chased a package of you last tall, and gave to a
valuable, young horse that had the heaves, and it
cured him entirely I he is now perfectly sound. lle
has just bought a lbw, more packages for other
heretic' , A. C. Srkmt, Burlington, Vt.
This Was received yesterday morning
. o Messrs. A. 11, (lough S. Co.-1 have by chime:,
procured one package of your 'Fats salt's Heave
Powders, and have tried them tot a horse of my
own. I think It has entirely Cured mytherse to all
appearances. Almost every nom here thinks heaves
cannot bo cured, and to satisfy the people that they
can, I will‘purchase nix packimes fur rib, which is.

THE THREE HOMES.
" Where is thy hornet" I asked a child,.
Who in the morning air,
Was twining flowers most sweet and wild
In' garlands for her hair.
"My home," the happy heart replied,
And smiled in childish glee,
" Is on the sunny mountain side
Where soft winds wander free."
0! blessings tall on artless youth,
And all its rosy hours,
W hen every word is joy and truth,
And treasures live in flowers!
"Where is thy homer" I asked of one
Who bent, with flushing face,
To hear a warrior's tender tone
In the wild wood's secret:place;
She spoke not, but her varying cheek,
The tale might well impart;
The home of her yohng spirit meek
Was in a kindred heart.
Ali! souls that well might aoar above,
To earth will fondly cling,
And build their hopes on human love,
That light and fragile thing!
" Where is thy home, thou lonely man 7"
I asked a pilgrim gray,
Who came, with furrowed brow, and wan,
Slow musing on - his way.
lie paused,iand with a solemn mein
- Upturned his holy eyes,
"The land I seek thou ng , er haat seen,
My home is in the skies!"
0! blest—thrice bleSt! the heart must be
To whom such thoughts are given,
That walks from worldly fetters free ;--
Its only home in heaven.

Importance of Education.
When the ,people govern themselves, as is the
case in this happy country, knowledge is absolutely
necessary to discern wherein their true interest con
sists. By interest, I do not mean a momentary
selfish advantage, but their real permanent good,
which will benefit not only themselves, but their
posterity after them—which will inspire them with
a love of their country superior to all others: for I
affirm it, he that loves another nation to the injury
of his own, is guilty of political whoredom, be
comes a parracide, and is a greater monster than a
man with two heads and two hearts. It will
teach them that their private and individual inter
ests should give way to that of the public where
they chance to interfere, which will seldom be the
case. When it is, they will be gainers by it in the
erd ; like casting their bread upon the waters, it
will return to them after many days. But moral
ity must give direction and energy to knowledge;
otherwise it might sometimes mislead; and de-
generate into what is falsely called philosophy. I
mean a morality founded on real genuine religion;
resulting from a belief of an omnipresent and
righteous Deity, who krows every movement of the
heart, and will reward and punish according to
.the deeds done in the body. A man under such
impressions, who makes a sense of his duty to God
and man the rule of his conduct, may as safely be
trusted in the bosom of a forest, far distant from
any eye that might witness his actions, as if he
was in the presence of assembled minions If
poverty and affliction should be his portion in
life, he is resigned and ever serene, his integrity is
firm and unchangeable, well knowing that in no
wise shall he miss his reward. If prosperity should
fall to his lot, he is thankful and humble; none of
that bloated pride 'and insolence of wealth which
appears in the guilded guilty sons of mammon;
none of that cold apathy of heart, and vacancy of
face attending fat contented ignorance, Ire be
comes the guardian protector of the innocent—the
friend and comforter of the deserted and distressed ;
—and the faithful steward of the poor; the bless.

Immensity of Creation.
"He who through vast immensity can pierce,
See worlds on worlds compose one universe;
Observe how system into system runs,
What other planets circle other suns;
What varied beings people every star,
May tell why God has made us as we are."
POPE
Some astronomers have computed that there are
no less than 75,000,000 of suns in this universe.
The fixed stars are all suns, having, like our sun,
numerous planets revolving round them. The
Solar System, or that to which we belong,las
about thirty planets primary and secondary, belong.
ing to it. The circular field of space which it
occupieos in diameter three thousand six hundred
millions of miles, and that which it controls much
greater. That sun which is nearest neighbor to
ours is called Sirius, distant from our sun .about
twenty-two billions of miles. Now if all the fixed
stars are as distant from each other as Sirius is
from our sun • or if our solar system be the aver
age magnitude of all the systems of the seventy-five
millions of suns, what imagination can grasp the
immensity of creation! Every sun of the seventy
five millions, cpntrots a field of space about
10,000,000,000 dt mires in diameter. Who can
survey a plantation t Ontaining seventy-five millions
circular fields, each en billions of miles in diameter!
Such however, is one of the plantations of Him—
"who has measured the waters in the hollow of his
hand, and meted out heaven with a span, and com
prehended the dust of the earth in a measure,
weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a
balance;" he who "sitting upon the orbit of the
earth, stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and
spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.—Millen
ial Arbinger.
The Bible.
How comes it that this little volume, composed
byhumble men in a rude age, when art and science
were but in their childhood, has exerted more in
fluence on the human mind and on the social sys
tem, than all the other books put together? Whence
comes it that this book has achieved such marvel
lous changes in the opinions of mankind—has ban
ished idol worship—has abolished infanticide—has
put down polygamy and divorce—exalted the con
dition of woman—raised the standard of public
morality—created for families that blessed thing, a
chr4tian home—and caused its other triumphs by
causing benevolent institutions, open and expansive
to spring up as with the wand of enchantment?
What sort of a book is this, that even the wind'and
wave of human passions obey it? What other
engine of social improvement has operated so long
and yet lost none of its virtue? Since it appeared
many boasted plans of amelioration have been
tried and failed, many codes of jurisprudence have
arisen—run their course, and expired. Empire
afterl empire has been launched on the tide of time,
and gone down, leaving no trace on the waters.—
But this book is still going about doing good, leav
ening society with its holy principles--cheering
the sorrowful with its consolations—strengthening
the tempted—encouraging the penitent—calming
the troubled spirit—and smoothing the pillow of
death. Can such a book be the offspring of human
genius? Does not the vastness of its effects demon.

Anecdote of Washington.
The folloWing anecdote of Washington was told
many years: since; the name ol the relator is not
now recolleCted, but it is,remembered that the con
nection of ;the individual with the events of the
Revolution, was calculated to inspire confidence in
its authenticity:
C. S. one of the contractors for supplying the
American Army, then (1780) stationed at West
Point, with fresh provisions, had, on several occa
sions, when the high price of cattle threatened to
'make the fulfilment of the terms of the contract
not quite so lucrative as was by him originally
calculated, failed to furnish the requisite supply,
and in lieu thereof, ad interim, gave to the Quarter-
Master of each regiment, a certificate, specifying
that there was due to such regiment, so many ra
tions of beef, &c. These certificates did pretty
well for a while, and the privatidn was borne with
characteristic patience by a soldiery, accustomed
to hardships, and ready to endure anything in the
cause of liberty and their country. But even pa
tience has its limits—the cause of the omission
became at last understood, and dissatisfaction man
tested itself throughout the ranks. Remonstrances
from the subordinate officers had been repeatedly
made, and promises of amendment jeadily and te
peatedly given, till at last, finding that nothing but
promises came, it was found necessary to complain
to the Comntiander-in Chief.
Washingtim, after hearing the story, gave imme
diate orders for the arrest Mr. S. Upon his being
brought into camp and placed under guard, the offl.•
cer having him in charge waited upon the General
to apprise him of the fact, and to enquire in what
way and by ;whom the prisoner was to be red.
"Give yourself no trouble, sir," said Washington,
"the gentleman will be supplied from my table."
The several hours of breakfast, dinner and sup
per passed, but not a mouthful was furnished.to
the delinquent prisoner. On the ensuing day, at
an early hour in the morning, a waiter in the livery
of the General, was seen bearing upon a silver
salver, all the seeming requisites for a meal care
fully covered, and wending his way to the prisoner's
room. Upon raising the cover, besides the appa
ratus for breakfast, there was found nothino. ' mole
than a certificate that "there was due to Mr. C. S
one breakfast, one dinner, and one supper;' and
signed " G. Washington."
After the lapse of a reasonable time the delin
quent was conveyed to head:quarters, when Wash
ington,
in peculiarly significant and emphatic
way, addressed him with:
"Well, M. S. I presume that by this time you
are perfectly convinced how inadequate to satisfy
the cravings i of hunger is the certificate of a meal.
I trust after ;this you will furnish ho further occa
sion for complaint."
Then inviting Mr. S. to share in the meal to
which he was just sitting down, he improved the
lesson by some friendly admonitions, and gave the
order for his'discharge.—Metropolis.
Au Expensive Name.
Mr. Prince, a respectable citizen of Bostdn, was
recently jourileying on the continent of Europe.
Before visiting Germany he provided himself with
a passport in'which his name and place of residence
were duly inscribed, James Prince, of Boston, and
set out in a plain unpretending style, in company
with another American gentleman. At the first
town where the travellers stopped, they were re
ceived in a stately form by a guard of honor and a
grand salute, for which they were presented with
a bill of an hundred florins. At a second and a
third town they were received in the same style
of costly magnificence. The two Americans find
ing that at the rate things were going on, their
cash would be exhausted before they had arrived
at the centre of the first circle, inquired of the host
if private gentlemen like themselves could not pass
through the German towns without so much osten
tation and expense. He informed them that they
could, if they pleased, travel incog ; but then, said
he, bowing obsequiously to Mr. Prince, "it will be
necessary for his highness to take out his title out
of the passport." That at once explained the
whole matter, and Mr. Prince having caused the
proper corrections to be made, went through the
remainder of his tour without being annoyed with
any further regal honors.

These bridles so entrammel the eyes of the horse
that he is compelled to be constantly straining
them, to see his way. The over exertion of the

Men in the abundance of their wisdom, concluded
that the horse had too much sight, and they wished
to curtail it; hence the origin of blind bridles and
diseased eyes are inseparably connected. Custom

The Dandy and his Turkey.
Chief Justice Marshall was in the habit of going
to market himself, and carrying home his purchases.
Frequently he could be seen at sunrise, with poultry
in one hand and vegetables in the other. On one
of these occasions a fashionable young man from
L—, was swearing violently, because he could
find no one to 'carry home his turkey; Marshall
stepped up and said to him-
"This is on my way, and I will take it for you."
When he came to the house, the young man in
quired: "What shall I pay you?"
"0, nothing," said the Chief Justice. "it was on
my way home, ;and no trouble."
"Who was that polite old man that brought
home my turkey?" inquired the young man of a
bystander.
"That," replied he, "is John Marshall, Chief
Justice of the United States."
Why did he bring home my turkey?"' asked the
young man. ;
"To give you a severe reprimand, and teach you
to attend to your own business," was the reply.
True, genuine greatness never feels above doing
any thing that is useful;
but especially the truly
great man will never feel above helping himself.
A Noble Boy.
A boy was once tempted by some of his com
panions to pluck ripe cherries from a tree, which
his father had forbidden him to touch.
"You need not be afraid," said one of his com
panions, "for if your father should find out that,you
had them, he is so kind that he would not hurt
you."
"This is the very reason," replied the boy, "why I
would not touch them. It is true,. my father
would not hurt me; yet my disobedience I know
would hurt my f . ather, and that would be worse to
me than anything else."
A boy who; grows up with such principles,
would be a man in the best sense of the word. It
betrays a repaid for rectitude, that would render
him trustworthy under every trial.

" Father Matthew.
A farewell temperance meeting was held in Cork,
on the .lth instant, at which Father Matthew atten
ded. In the course of his address, he said:
~'My,object, my friends, in .proceeding to the.
States of America, in compliance with the invita.
tion I may say I have received . from the whole of
that great and glorious people, is first to thank them
for their sympathy, their well-proved sympathy,
with my countrymen, and for the abundant and
generous assistance afforded by their liberality and
humanity. And, secondly, to promote as much as
lies in my power, the great cause of temperance in
that vast country, and to diffuse the blessings and
happiness which it especially confers amongst the
people who inhabit its boundless extent. I find it
impossible for me at present to accomplish much
in Ireland—much does not remain to be accompli

taken the total abstinence pledge; and though there
have, been lapses and breaches of the pledge, the
numbers who have been deluded by temptation are
as nothing compared to the great bOdy who still
remain faithful to their solemn engagements. The
itnriossibility of my labouring as I was heretofore
accustomed, in the cause of temperance, is a mat
ter merely confined to my own feelings. I could
not, in justice to myself, witness the distress which
now prevails throughout the entire land—destitu

years '46 and '47, when famine was at its height,
and people thought such misery could not again be
equalled.
"It is torelieve myself from this dreadful neces

me from making the attempt; and as I cannot

A Lesson for Young Men.
The editor of the Methodist Protestant of Balti
more, concludes a notice of the murder recently
committed by John Price, with the following
touching remarks:
Price is a notorious character, well known in
our midst as " City John." The writer of this was
a school fellow with him, and remembers "John
Price" when he was a playful, happy little boy.
It is painful to think of the changes that have come
over that smooth-faced child. All our recollections
of him are those of boyhood. Many a time have
we sighed in spirit as we read" in the newspapers
and police reports the evidences of his deepening
depravity, and his heartless abandonment of all
that was lovely and of 'good report." It is said
that th is the fourth case in which death has been
i,?
laid to , s
charge. How this may be weoknow
not, bu his name has long been associated with
deeds of riot and infamy.
Price is said to be gentle and easily managed--
a fellow of good heart in the sense in which men
of the world use that phrase—when sober—but
when in liquor he becomes a perfect fiend. Drink
ing and gaming have doubtless brought him to his
present condition. What a lesson is here for young
men to study! Who that had looked upon the
writer of this and John Price as they sat together
in the same school, or shared in the amusement of
the same play ground, could have predicted that
the time would have come when he would be
what he is, and we be writing with a sad heart
the story of his infamy, Yet such is Life! Thank
God that his grace has kept us from the wine cup,
from the gaming table, and from the remorse of a
murdeter's conscience I

ened by every new act of indulgence, and virtuous
principle is more firmly established than before by
every new new act of resolute obedience to its .

boyhood or of youth with the character of man
hood, is the identical law which connects our act
ings in time with our character in eternity. The
way in which the moral discipline of youth pre
pares tor the honors and enjoyments ot a virtuous
manhood, is the way in which the moral and
spiritual discipline of the whole tile prepares for a
virtuous and happy immortality; and on the other
hand the succession of cause. and effect from a
profligate youth and dishonest manhood to a dis
graced and worthless old age, is just the succession
also of cause and effect between the misdeeds and
depravities of our history on earth, and our endu

Anecdote of Old Dartmouth.

way, was not the most nice and discriminating in
his distinctions, was endeavoring - to substantiate
a that a thing remains the same thing notwithstand

Our wag, who had been exercising the Yankee
art of whittling, at length held up his jack knife,
inquiring: "Supposing I should lose the blade of
my knife, and should get another made and inserted
in ifs place, would it be the same knife it ,was
before?'
"To be sure," replied the professor.
"Well, then," the wag continued, 'suppoiiii
should then lose the handle, and 'get another, would
it be the same knife still ?"
"Of course!" the professor again replied.
"But if somebody should find the old blade and
the old handle and should put them together,
