OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND,
THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERER OF THI.
Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla.
OLD DR. TOWNSEND is now about 70 years of
age, and has long been known as the author
and discoverer of the Genuine Original Townsend
Sarsaparilla. Being poor, he was coinpelled to
limit its manufacture,‘ by which means it has lit, .)
kept out of market, and the sales circumscribed to
those dnly who had priced its worth, and known
its value. It had reached the cars of many, never
theles3, as those persons.who had been healed or
sore diseases, and saved from death, proclaimed
its excellence and wonderfhl HEALING POWER.
Knowing, many years ago, that he had, by his
skill, science and experience, devised an article
which would be of incalculable advantage to man-,
kind when the means would he furnished to bring
it into universal notice, when its inestimable virtue,
would be known and appreciated. 'r his time liar
Come, the means are supplied ; this Grand and
Unequalled Preparation is manufactured on the lar
gest scale, and is called for throughout the length
and breadth of the land, especially as it is Rutinl
incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young S. P. Townsend's, it improves with
age, and never changes, hut for the better; became
it is-prepared on scientific principles by a scientific
man. The highest knowledge of Chemistry, and
the latest discoveries of the. art, have all been
brought into requisition in the manotheture of the.
old Dr's Sarsaparitla. The Sarsaparilla Root, is
well known to medical Men contains many medical
properties and some properties Nvhicti are inert or
useless, and others which if retained in preparing
it for use, produce . fernientation and acid, which is
injurious to the system. Some of the properties of
Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that they entirely evap
orate and are lost in the preparation, .if they are nit
preserved by a scientific progress,- known only to
those experienced in its manufitcture. Morcuv;•r,
these volatile principles, which fly fa in vapor. crs
as an exhalation, under !mat, are the very essential
medical properties 01 the root, which give to it all
its value.
• Any person can boil or stew the root till they get
a dark colored liquid, which is more from the col
oring matter in the root than from anything else;
they can then strain this insipid or rapid linnund,
sweeten with sour molasses, and then call it •• S,li
saparilla Extract or Syrup." lifir:suigi—i n s_not tine
article known as the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TowNsEmys
SARSAPARILLA
This is so prepared, that, all the inert properties
of the Sarsaparilla root are lirst removed, e,Pr
thing capable of becoming acid or of fermentation,
is extracted - 's rejected; then every particle
"medical virtue is secured in a pure and concentra
ted form; and thus it is rendered incapable of los
ing any of its valuable and healing properties. Pre
pared in this way, it is made the most puss erful
agent in the
CURE OF INNUMERABLE DISEASES.
Hence the reason why we hear COMlllendatiorls
on every side in its favor by men, women, and
children. We find it doing wonders in the cure at
Consumption, Dyspepsia, and Liver Complaint, and
in Rheumatism, Sermbla, Piles, Costiveness. a:I
Cutaneous Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, and all
affections arising from
IMPURITY OF TOE BLuOD
possesses a tnarseluns efficacy in all complaints
arising from Indigestion, from Acidity of the Stom
ach, from unequal circulation, determination of
blood to the head, palpitation of the heart, cold
feet and hands, cold•clulls and hot flashes over the
body. It has not its equal in Colds :mil Coughs ;
and promotes easy expectoration and gentle perspi
ration, relaxing strictures of the lungs, throat, and
every other part. But in nothing is its excellence
more manifestly seen and acknowledged than in
all kinds and stage. of
FEMALE COMPLAINTS
It Works Wonders in cases or Flour Albus or
Whites, Falling of the Womb, Obstructed, Suppres
sed, or Painful Menses, Irregularity of tne mens
trual periods, and tile like, and it is effectual in
curing all the forms of Kidney Disease.
By removing obstructions, and regulating the
general -system, it gives tone and strength to the
whole body, and thus cures all forms of Nervous
Diseases and Debility, and thus prevents or relieves
a great variety of other maladies, as Spinal Irrita
tion, Neuralgia, St. Vitus , Dance, Swooning, Ep
ileptic Fits, Convulsions, Ks.
It cleanses the blood, excites the liver to healtiiv
action, tones the stomach, and gives good diges
tion, relieves the bowels of torpor and constipation,
allays inflammation, I,4urifies the skin, equalizes the
circulation of the blood, producing genilc warnith
equally over all parts of the body, and the imms , ,
ble perspiration ; relaxes all strictures and tight
ness, removes all obstructions, and invigorates the
entire nervous system. Is not this then the medi
cine you pre-eminently need I
But can any of these things be said of S. P. Town
send's inferior article This young man's liquid
is not to be
COMPARED W TH THE OLD DR'S,
because of one Gran Fact; that the one is incapa
ble of Deterioration, nd
NEV 'R. SPOILS,
while the other does; oaring, fermenting, and
blowing the bottles containing it into fradments
the sour, acid liquid exploding„and damagaily odd,
goods ! Must not this horrible compound be pois
onous to the system 1 Wh a t! put acid into a
tern already diseased with acid 7 What cato,i
Dyspepsia but acid? Do we not all know that
when food sours in our stomachs, what mischief it
produces? flatulence, heart-burn, palpitation oldie
heart, liver complaint, diarrhea, dysentary, colic.
and corruption of the blood 1 What is Scrurala
but an acid humor in the body 1 What produces
all the humors which bring on Eruptions of the
Skin, Scald Head, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, White
Swellings, Fever Sores, and all ulcerations internal
and external 1 it is nothing under heaven but an
acid substance, which sours, and thus spoils all the
fluids of the ody, more or less. What causes
Rheumatism but a sour or acid fluid, which insinu
ates itself between the joints and elsewhere, irrita
ting and inflaming the delicate tissues upon which
it acts 7 So of nervous diseases, of impurity oh the
blood, of deranged circulations, and nearly all the
ailments which affect huirnin nature.
Now is it not horrible to make and sell, and infi
tritely worse to use this
Souring, Fermenting, Acid Compound of S. P.
Townsend,
and yet he would fain have it understood-that Old
Dr. Jacob Townsend's Genuine Original Sarsspa
cilia, is an imitation of his inferior prep - aration.
Heaven forbid that we should deal in an article
which would bear the least resemblance to-S. P.
Townsend's article; and which should bring down
upon the old Dr. such a mountain load of complain
and criminations from Agents who have .gold, anc
purchasers who have used S. P. Townsend's Fer
meating Compound.
We wish it understood because it is the abftlute
truth, that S. P. Townsend's article and old Dr.
Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla are heaven -wid e
apart, and infinitely dissimilar; that they are unlike
in every particular having not one single thing ix
Common.
As S. P. Townsend is no doctor, and never was,
is no chemist, no pharmaceutist—knows no more
of medicine or disease than any other common,
unscientific, unprofessional man; what guarantee
can the public have that they are receiving a genu
ine scientific medicine, containing all the virtues
of the articles used in preparing it, and which ire
incapable of changes which might render them the
AGENTS of Disease instead of health.
But what else should he expected from one who
knows nothing comparatively, of medicine or dis
ease ! It requires a person of .. some experience to
cook and serve up even a common decent me, I.
How, much more important is it that the persons
who manufacture medicines designed for
Weak Stomachs and Enfeebled systems
should know well the medical properties of plants,
the best manner of securing and concentrating their
healing virtues, also an extensive system, and how
to adapt remedies to these diseases!
It is horrible to think and to know how cruelly
the afflicted are imposcd upon by presumptuou s meu
for the sake of money! Fortunes made out of the
agonies of the sick! and no equivalent rendered
the despairing sufferers ! For sale by

THE MAIDEN'S GRAVE
The following unpublished stanzas were com
posed whilst the author was on a visit to the family
of Mr. Rey, a resident of Turks Island. They had
lately been afflicted with the loss of a beloved
daughter, who, though very young, displayed a
precocity far above the generality of those of her
age. The spot in which she is buried is a beautiful
garden, planted with flowers and evergreens by
her own gentle hand. There is a peculiar interest
attending it, rendering it the more sacred. She
had been in the habit of placing her little work
basket in the hollow of a tree attached to the gar
den; and though a year had nearly elapsed since
her death, the negroes of the estate still watch
over it with the greatest reverence, and the work
of her hands remains undisturbed. Under these
impressive circumstances the stanzas were com
posed as a religious memento of the dead, and a
tribute of respect to the afflicted parents.
She was a form of life and light, '
Which seen, became a part of sight.—Byron
Within a lone sequestered spot,
Sweet flow'rets bloom the live-long day,
O'er one who now regardeth not
The beyuty of their rich array:
They languishingly drooping fall
O'ell one, the fairest of them all.
Her eye would match the bright gazelle's,
And gentle was she as a dove,
In every perfumed floweret dwells
A cherished emblem of her love.
While that fair form that gave them birth,
, Now makes their birth place sacred earth
You roses that around her bloom
Are emblems or her damask cheek ;
You violets above her tomb
Her maiden modesty bespeak—
The white flowers on yon jasmine tree
Proclaim her angel purity.
A father's bliss—a mother's pride—
All that a parent's heart could know
With that fond cherished daughter died,
Shrouding their anxious hopes in woe
And joys the promised future gave
Lie buried in that maiden's grave.
And tears from weeping eyes were shed,
Sad bitter tears of silent grief;
Vain mourning for the lowly dead—
Where sighs, alas ! bring no relief:
Well can that grave a moral teach,
Deeper than aught the world can preach
Go muse there when the moon is beaming
O'er that lone dwelling veiled in night;
When all heaven's starry host is gleaming
From the pure azure realms of light;
And musing, bless the hour she died—
: Her spirit now is sanctified.
TRUE LOVELINESS
She who thinks a noble heart
Better than a noble mien—
Honors virtue more than art,
Though 'tis less in fashion seen—
Whatsoe'er her fortune be,
She's the bride—the iv fe—for me!
She who deems that inward grace
Far surpasses outward show,
She who values less the face
Than that charm the soul can throw—
Whatsoe'er her fortune he,
She's the bride—the wife—for me!
She who knows the heart requires
Something more than lips or dew—
That when love's brief rose expires,
Love itself dies with it too
Whatsoe'er her Ibrtune be.
She's the bride—the wi'e—for me !

Bonaparte's Opinion of Christ.
A foreign journal lataly published a conversation.
related by Count de Month°ton, the faithful friend
of the Emperor Napoleon.
"I know men," said Napoleon, "and I tell you
that Jesus is not a man! The religion of Christ
is a mystery which subsists by its own forte, and
proceeds from a mind which is not a human mind.
We find in it a marked individuality, which origi•
nated a train of words and actions unknowii before.
Jesus borrowed nothing from our knowledge He
exhibited in himself a perfect example of his pre
cepts Jesus is not a philosopher, for Ins proofs
are miracles, and (min the first. his disciples adored
him. In tact, learning and philosophy are of no
use for salvation; and Jesus came into the world
to reveal the mysteries of Heaven, and the laws of
the Spirit.
"Alexander, Ca...sar, Charlemagne, and myself,
founded empires: but on what loundation did we
rest the creations of our genius? Upon for( e.
Jesus Christ alone founded his empire upon lure;
and at this hour, millions of men would die for
him.
'•lt was not a day, or a battle, that achieved the
triumph of the Christian religion in the world.
No, it was a long war—a contest for three centuries
—begun by the Apostles, then continued by the
Hood of Christian generations. In this war, if all
the kings arid potentates of the earth were on one
side—on the other, I see no army but a mysterious
force, some men scattered here and there in all
parts of the world, and who have no other rallying
point than a common flith in the mysteries of the
Cross. •
"I die before my time, and my body will be given
back to the earth. to become food for the worms.
Sikh is the fate of him who has been called the
great Napoleon. What an abyss between my deep
misery and the eternal kingdom of Christ which
is proclaimed, loved and adored, and which is ex
tended over the whole earth! Call you this dying?
Is it not living, rather? The death of Christ is the
death of--God!"
Napoleon stopped at the .last words; but Gen.
Bertrand making no reply the Emperor added
" If you do not perceive that Jesus Christ is God,
I did wrong to appoint you General.-
Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton was under middle size, thin
in person. but remarkably erect and dignified in his
deportment. He wore his hair turned back from
his forehead, powdered, and collected in a club be .
hind. His complexion was exceedingly fair, and
varying from this only by the utmost feminine ros
iness of his cheeks. His might be considered. as
to figure and color, an uncommonly handsome face.
When at rest, it had rather a severe and thoughtful
expression; but when engaged in conversation, it
easily assumed an attractive smile.
The eloquence of Hamilton was said to be per
suasive and commanding; the more likely to be so
as he had no guide but the impulse of a great and
rich mind, he having had little opportunity to be
trained at the bar, or in popular assemblies. Those
who c( uld speak of his manner from the best op
portunities to observe him, in public and private,
concurred in pronouncing him a pure, a frank, an
amiable and high-minded gentleman. He was ca
pable of inspiring the most affectionate attachment:
hut he could make those whom he opposed fear
and hate him cordially. He was 2apable of intense
and effectual application. as is abundantly proved
by his public labars. But he had a rapidity and
clearness of perception, in which he may not have
been equalled. One, who knew his habits of study.
said of him-.that when he had a serious object to
accomplish, his practice was, to reflect on it pre
viously: and when he had gone through this labor,
he retired to sleep, without regard to the hour of
the night. and having slept six or seven hours, he
rose, and haling taken strong coffee. seated himself
at his table. where he remained six. seven. or eight
hours; and the product of his rapid pen required
little correction for the press. He was among the
few, alike excellent, whether in speaking nr in
writing. In private and friendly intercourse, he is
said to have been exceedingly amiable, and to have
been affectionately beloved.
From the Philadelphia Daily S.
The Law of Love.
BY G BANDFATREIt WRITELOCKS
All.men, without distinction of party or sect, are
commanded to -love one arwther." Notwithstanding
their diversified opinions or various feelings;—h ow
ever much they may differ in politics or creeds,
yet the duty is still obligatory—the command re
mains binding.
All, be they as black as Egyptian darkness, at
as pale as the watery cloud sailing in yonder heaven,
all are brothers: and the "law of love" must unite
them in one.
The rich merchant hoarding his uncounted gold,
or clutching his vast treasures with a frenzied feel
ing; whose hands were never extended to relieve
human wo, and who passes the lonely hour of mid
night in sleepless fear, lest his vast storehouse should
burn, or his splendid ships should sink to the rocky
beds beneath uld ocean's peaceful bosom, is positive
ly commanded by the God of heaven to love that
poor, toiling, wretched slave.
. .
Although the rich may shun the poor; although
they may start back at their touch and forget they
are brothers, yet the same eye that regards the daily
wo and hourly cry of the oppressed one, is open,
watching the selfishness and the parsimony of pam
pered wealth.
And as true as yonder Sun pursues his trackless
flight in the blue canopy above; as certain as the
cerulean arch canopies this world, just as sure will
the awful visitation of the Almighty's power reach
the fastnesses of the oppressor, though he be sur
rounded with a wall of gold and gates of rubies.
Ir. the sacred scriptures are recorded these words:
—"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and thy neighbor as thyself!"
Who is our neighbor? All men, of every nation,
rank or color. The ignorant, stupid Hottentot; the
sable African; the cold, selfish Siberian; the hardy
Laplander; the wily Mexican, and the now degra
ded, but once noble red man of the woods; all,
without one single, exception, claim thy love, thy
regard, thy affection!
Christian! art thou a professor of the "meek arid
lowly Jesus;" and does not thy heart burn within
thee, with love to thy fellow man?
Away with that man who professes to hold fel
lowship with Christ, and at the same time, hides
his brother. His actions belie his words. There
is no truth or soundness in him: He falsifies all he
says, and out of his nostrils comes the breath of
deceit:
Love is an active principle. It is no sordid, in
sane feeling, caring only for itself. No, it fills the
soul of the possessor, making his heart big with
noble desires and manly wishes.
The character of the individual who possesses
this jewel, this priceless jewel, shines bright with
increasing moral vividness, until the whole soul
blazes out in a splendor of unequalled beauty, and
dazzling brightness.
It is not a mere piece of merchandize; a simple
matter of dollars and cents. You can't buy love.
You can't create it. But, it you wish to possess it
in all its purity and beauty, when it is unsullied
with the touch of earthly, sensual matters; go at
once to the Fountain Head—to the god of love—to
the great Author, the Supreine Ruler of all things.
While the precious metal which lies deeply im
bedded lar beneath the surface of the earth. adorn
von the costly silks and satins, which, as
yet. belong to the crawling worm, beautify your
person? They ,sink into insignificance when com
pared with the priceless jewel--LOVE.
Why. love is a part of the Christian's duty! It
is one of the fruits of our holy religion. Holy
powerful is it!
Can you measure its height? Can you fatlMm
its depth! Can you scan its. breadth?
Can you pierce to its very centre? .
Lore! Wiry it was this which caused the "Son
of God to leave yon dazzling, "Throne;' . and come
upon this earth, to be scorned, buffetted, trod_upott.
Love) Why toils yonder man up the rugged
hill, bearing a rude cross; sinking at every step
beneath its great weight? Love! is the answer.
Why does thdt venerable man, whose head is
sprinkled with snows of winter, fee! no disposition
to pine at his hard lot; no desire to find fault with
his existence, because he has naught but a cup of
water and a hard, dry crust of bread?
It is because love reigns in his heart. Love to
•
God. and love to mart.
And so it will be with all who possess this inei
timabie jewel. Loy* will reign in them. and lead
them info pleasant pastures, along the . still waters,
up to the throne of God.
Sporting with Female Affections.
Man cannot act a more perfidious part,
Than use his utmost efforts to obtain,
A confidence in order to deceive. '
Honor and integrity ought to be the le . aing
principles of every transaction in lite. These are
virtues highly requisite. notwithstanding they are
too frequently disregarded. Whatever pursuits in
dividuals are in quest of. sincerity in profession,
steadfastness in pursuit, and punctuality in discharg.
ing engagements,- are indispensably incumbent.—
A man of honest integrity, and uprightness in his
dealings with his fellow creatures, is sure to gain
the confidence and applause of all good men an hi vt
he, who acts from dishonest and designing priori
pies, obtains deserved contempt. Dishonest pro
ceedings, in word or deed. are very offensive to
and unjustifiable in sight of God and man, even in
trivial, but much more so in consequential affbirs
The most.perfect uprightness is highly requisite
between man and man, though it is too often dis
regarded, and is much more so between the sexes.
Every profession of regard should be without dis
sembling, every promise preserved inviolate. and
every engagement faithfully discharged. No one
ought to make any offers or pretensions to a lady
before he is, i.r a great measure certain her person,
her temper and qualifications suit his circumstances,
and agree perfectly with his own temper and way
of thinking. For a similarity of mind and man
ners is very necessary to render the bonds of love
permanent, and those of marriage, happy.
"Marriage the happiest state of life would be,
If hands were only joined where hearts agree."
The man of uprightness and integrity of heart,
, will not only observe the beauties of the mind, the
goodness of the heart, the dignity of sentiment, and
!the delicacy of wit, but will strive to fix his ;gee
tions on such permanent endowments, before he
pledges faith to any lady.
He looks upon marriage as a business of the
greatest importance in life, and a change of condi
tion that cannot be undertaken with too much rev
erence and deliberation. Therefore he will not
undertake it at random, lest he should precipitately
involve himself in the ; greatest difficulties. He
wishes to act a conscientious part, and consequently
cannot think, (notwithstanding it is too much coon
tenanced by custom,) of sporting with the affec
tions of the fair sex, nor even of paying his address
es to any one till he is perfectly convinced his own
are fixed on just principles.
All imaginable caution is certainly necessary
beforehand; but after a man's profession of regard,
and kind services, and solicitations, have made an
impression on a female heart, it is no longer a mat
ter of indifference whether he perseveres in, or
breaks off his engagement. When then the matter
is brought to such a crisis, there is no retreating.
without manifestly distdrbing her quiet and tran
quility of mind; nor can any thing but her loss of
virtue justify her desertion. Whether marriage
has been expressly promised or not, it is of little
signification. For if he has solicited and obtained
her affections, on supposition that he intends to
marry her, tie contract is, in the sight of heaven.
sufficiently binding. In short, the man who basely
imposes on the honest heart of an unsuspecting
female, and, after winning her affections by the pre
vailing rhetoric of cow tShip, ungenerously to leave
her to bitter sorrow and complaining. acts a very
dishonorable part, and is more to be detested than
a common robber. For private treachery is much
more heinous than open force; . and money must
not be put in competition with happiness.
Irr - We should be more thoughtful of our duty
than our fortune; what will become of us AFTER
death, than how. or when, or where, we shall die;
and more desirous to be told how we should con
duct ourselves well in sickness, and obtain good to
our souls by it, than whether we shall recover.—
Matthew Henry.
lig' Our opportunities are, like our sods, very
precious i but if they are lost, they are irrecovera
ably lost.
On the Happiness of Heaven.
Adieu, ye earthly scenes :—ltanish, ye fascinating
charms of sin and sense; let not one terrestrial
thought intrude, while I ascend the Mount of-Con
templation, and, for a few moments, gaze on iceles
tial blessedness. My winged soul already 'seems
within sight of that " glorious company whiCh no
man can ;number." Hail, ye happy spirits,; freed
fro'm the gross encumbrances of mortality;; with
what indifference do you look down on the con
temptible toys of this sublunary state; your Highly
exalted natures cannot be satisfied with anything
short of the Infinite himself:
'Tis all your happiness to gaze,
'TI heaven to see our Saviour's face.”
You nd longer sip at the streams of felicity, but
drink in large draughts from th'b Fountain of uncre
ated blesSedness. Angels„ those bright etherealc
forms, listen with silent adoration to hear those
songs of ! redeeming love, which flow, with notes
mellifiumis, from yourgolden lyres. Glorious
harmony! Could I but burst these prison walls,
and be at once divested-of mortality, how soon
would I outstrip the towering flight of the eagle,
and join your heavenly concert. Transported with,
the rays of infinite glory, my songs of praise should
then equal, if not exceed yours. 0! ye wheels of
time, why are ye so slow in your motions? Each
hour, each moment does but trw? to increase my
intense desire for the fulness of blessed vision.—
Fired with the glorious prospect, my longing soul
earnestly Wishes to be "absent from the body," that
she may tie "present with the Lord." While here,
so far from my Father's house, the clouds of sin
and 'sense' too often intercept the beatific rays of
thy countenance. 0! when wilt thou remove me
to behold thee as thou art, in unclouded glory.—

Advice for Summer
Don't gormandize. We hate a glutton at all
Mmes, bUt'especially in the summer. It is mon
strous to see men, when the mercury is up to 90,
cram a pound of fat meat down their throats.-
Don't you know that animal food increases the
bile ? Eat sparingly, and be sure and masticate
what, you eat. Don't bait. your food like an ana
conda., Take exercise early in the morning. Ah !
what fools, we are to sweat in bed, when he cool
breeze invites us forth, and the birds, and the dew,
and the streams are murmuring, in their own quiet
way, pleasant music, which arouse a kindred mel
ancholy in, the soul.
Be good' natured. Don't get into any angry dis-
cussion ott[politi•s or religion. There will be time
enough to talk the former over when the weather
becomes cooler, and as for the latter, the lees you
quarrel about it the better. Religion is a gocgt
thing, but When you fight in its namt, you show
yourself ignorant of ifs-principles, and unswayed
by its ififhience.
. Bathe often—three times a week—every day.—
The exposure is nothing to the benefits derived. If
you would!enjoy health, have a clear head, a sweet
stomach, a cheerful disposition, put your carcasses
under the water every day, and when you emerge
use the brush vigorously for five minutes There
is nothing like the pure bracing water. We never
dip beneath its suriace without thanking God for
having placed such a health-promoting element

He was not a despot; he founded the political
liberty at the same time as the national indepen
dence of his country. He used war only as a means
of peace. 'Raised to the supreme power without
ambition, lie descended from it without regret, as
the safety of his country pe milted. He is the
model for all democratic chic s. Now you have
only to examine his 4ile, his soul, his acts, his
thoughts, his words; yliti will not find a single
mark of condescension, a single moment of indul
gence, for the favorite ideas of democracy. He
constantly struggled—struggled even to weariness
and to sadness—against i exactions. No man
was ever more profoundly Nthbued with the spirit
of government or with respect for authority. He
never exceeded the rights of power, according to
the laws of his country; but he confirmed and
maintaineethem, in principle as well as in practice,
as firmly, as loftily, as he could have done in an
old monarchical or aristocratical state. He was one
o: those who knew that it isno more possible to gov
ern from below in a republic than in a monarchy
—in a democratic than in an aristocratic society.

THE Uxiox DEAR co EVERY PATRIOTIC FIE/ILT.
—The following extract was found in the writings
of James M adison, which have been published
since his'death:
Advice to 'soy Country.—As this advice, if it ei'er
see the light, will not do it till I am no more, it
may be considered as issuing from the tomb. where
truth alone;can be respected, and the happiness of
man consulted. It will be entitled, therefore, td
whatever weight can be derived from good inten-
tions, and from the experience of one who has ser•
ved his country in various stations. through a pe
riod of forty years; who espoused in his youth,
arid adhered through lite, to the cause of its liberty,
and whO has borne a part in most of the great
transactions which will constitute epochs ot its
destiny. The advice nearest to my heart and deep.
est in my convictions is, that the UN ioN or THE
..TATES be :cherished arid perpetuated. Let the
avowed enemy to it be regarded a; Pandora, with
her box opened, and the disguised ones, the serpent
creeping with his deadly wiles into paradise.
THE CROSS OF CHRIST
I turn, my God, to thee in need,
And 'never turn in vain;
I think of thy protecting love,
And all is calm again.
Tho , care and sorrow on me press,
Thy love dispels the gloom;
And brighter joys and greater bliss
My path of life illume.
The friendship's smile may be withdrawn
And love's bright hopes betray,
Thy smile, dear Lord, is still the same,
Thy love can ne'er decay.
The morn of life may be o'ercast,
And clouds hang o'efat even';
The cross of Christ still points above,
And speaks of bliss in Heaven
Danger in Trines.
By want of one nail, the iron shoe is lost, the
horse falle.th, and the horse falling, the rider per
isheth. Such are the dangers that he incurreth
that neglected small things. The neglect o' the
lesser maketh way but for the greater evil, and he
that setteth light by small things falleth by little
and little.
pg- An exchange paper says
" The girls are ail a fleeting show,
For man's illusion given;
.Their, smiles of joy, their tears of woe,
Deceitful shine, deceitful nOol,
THERE'S NOT ONE TRUE IN SEVEN!"
Perhaps not, but the one that is true, more than
makes up for the seven false.
fU" The following we,find in the Editors Table
of the Knickerbocker:
"Here is a capital epigram, from the pen of a
friend, on a woman with red hair who wrote poetry:
" Unfortunate woman ! how sad is your lot; •
Your ringlets are red—and your poems are not."
I' Lord Braus was a very sensible wan ; we
always thought so. An exchange paper records
the following remarkable confession made by him
—• With all ',my follies. I was never guilty of stop
ping a papq, because :its editor happened to dis
please me."
lE7' Why is a newspaper like a tooth-brush?
Jasteer—Because everybody should be provided
with one of his own, and not borrow ilia neighbor's.
—Kentucky Yermiet.
To practice sincerity is to speak as we think, to
do as we profess ; to perform what we promise, and
really to be what we seein to be.
