_
LANCASTER CITY, Pa., Oct. 2, 1848
Dr. Wm. Steelling :—I take pleasure in inform
ing you that I have been greatly benefitted by the
use of your Pulmonary Syrup. I had contracted a
very severe cold, and with it a violent cough, so
that I would sometimes spit blood ; in this condition
you found me when you gave me a bottle of your
Syrup, I had not taken half a bottle before I found
myself much relieved, and in fact felt like a. new
man. I would recommend your Pulmonary Syrup
to all who may be afflicted with colds or any other
diseases of the lungs.

town, Lancaster county, Pa.:—
Dr. Wm. Steelling -Dear Sir:—lt affords me
much pleasure to inform you ok the great benefit I
have received and also in my family, from the use
of your Pulmonary Syrup. I have used it for Ca
taarrh on the Breast, and from a very few doses
have been relieved. I have also found it a certain
remedy for the Croup and all common colds. I
hate sold it at my store for four years and could
give a great many instances of its success in all
diseases of the Lungs and Throat.
Respectfully yours, R. M. JONES.

" Having used your Pulmonary Syrup individu

affords me great pleasure to inform you, that I have
in every instance found it highly efficacious in cur
ing Coughs, Colds, Lc. Indeed I an: so well satis
fied of the good resulting from the use of it in such
cases, that 1 keep at all times three or four bottles
on hand. W. B. JOHNSTON."
Rev. William Heilig, of Abbottsville, Pa., writes
thus, June 10, 15'42:
Dr. William Steelling—l take great pleasure in
informing you that I have been much benefitted by
the use of your Pulmonary Syrup; my throat which
has been sore fur better than two years, has been
greatly improved ; I think by using a few more bot
tles a radical cure may be affected.

Rev. 0. Douglass, Pastor of the Mariners Church,
Philadelphia, writes thus:
I feel much gratified in being able to say to you
that the Pulmonary Syrup you sent, has been used

been more or less benefitted. I cordially recom
mend it to all who are afflicted with acough

Mark this from the Pastor of the Presbyterian
Church, in Deerfield, N. J.

Dr. Steelling—Dear Sir :—There are some things
that impress us very favorably at first, but further
acquaintance convinces us that our impressions
were too exalted. There are other things of which
we think more highly as our acquaintance becomes
more intimate. In this class I rank your Pulmonary

have been kind friends to me and which I take
great pleasure in introducing to the acquaintance

Capital s2so,ooo—Charter Perpetual. Make In,
urance on Lives at their Office, in Philadelpha,
and at their Agencies throughout the States, at the
lowest rates of premium. Persons should insure
their lives, and do so without delay, whilst they ,,
are healthy and fit subjects to be insured.
In this Office there are advantages greater-than ,
have ever yet been derived from the system of Life .
Assurance; which reason and experience convince
the Trustees may with safety be offered to the
public. It will be found, on inquiry, that most
offices•have in the outset professed to act on some
new principle; or to offer to assurers some one
particular benefit not to be obtained from other
societies. But policies are effected under various
circumstances, and with widely different objects,
and what may facilitate the views of one man, aff
fords no accommodation to another. It appears,
therefore, to the Trustees of the Equitable, that
the greatest good will be effected by that office,
which allows such reasonable advantages to every
assurer, as at the time of completing his Policy, he
considers to be suitable to his particular case. On
this principle they act, and a few instances will
suffice to show the benefits derivable from its
adoption—the greatest good of the greatest - number.
No policy will. be disputed, unless under an. act
of fraud by the assured, and after the same shall
have been declared by referees of undoubted char
acter. In ease of error, either as ,to age, or in the
form of policy, or the answers of referees, such
errors, unless wilful and fraudulent, will not be
deemed to vitiate the policy.
Tim travelling leave is extensive and liberal.
Persons insured for life have liberty to pass to and
from the States of Virginia and Kentucky, and west
of the river Mississippi, between the first day of
November and the first day of July following. And
to pass from any place or port within the British
North American Colonies, or United States north
of thirty-fbur degrees north lattude, without pay
ing an extra premium. They are allowed to cross
the Atlantic in first class steamers during May,
Jane, July, August and September, free of charge;
during remaining months of the year, 25 cents on
each 5100 insured.
The age of the assured will be admitted on. the
policy. If the insured die in a duel, by his own
hands, or unde'r sentence of the law, such death
will not invalidate the policy, except so far as it
was the property of the deceased.
Thirty days allowed after each annual payment
becomes due, and fifteen days atter each quarterly
and half yearly premium becomes due, without for
feiture of policy. Premiums or lapsed policies
may be renewed at any time within six months on
the production of satisfactory evidence as to the
health of the insured.
When a party effects a policy upon the life of
hnother, the Company will be satisfied if the party
aad, at the time, a bona fide interest in the life of .
the assured. The policy may be assigned to whom
soever the assured pleases, without the knowleage
or assent of the Company (thete being no clause in
the Equitable policies usual in the policies of Mu-
TUAL Companies, claiming a right to be notified of
an assignment and their approval obtained) so long
as the assignment or transfer of a policy in the
Equitable is a legal act, and the party who claims
can give a legal discharge, the amount is paid by
the Company.
The extraordinary advantage afforded by, means
of the Half Credit system, in not requiring, under
any circumstances, an outlay of a larger sum of
money than is absolutely necessary to secure the
amount, insured, is peculiarly applicable to the
CREDITOR desirous of possessing a policy on the life
his DEBTOR. If the debt is paid off during these
five years, lie can discontinue the assurance' alto
gether, having secured the amount, in the event of
the debtor's death previously, at a less expense than
would in any Mutual office be 'charged for 'assuring
the life for seven years. If the debt is ROT PAID he
would he enabled to continue the assurance for the
remainder of the debtor's life, whatever might then
be his state of health. Attention is particulary re
quested to the

The assured has to pay the premium in all cases
in advance, and HAS NO LIABILITY of any kind,
sort or description. A deferred note is not neces
sary to peifect any operation, and none will be
taken by the 'Company.
Persons insuring should bear in mind that a pro
missory note given to a MUTUAL OFFICE at com
pound interest, soon amounts to more than the sum
assured. Thus, $lOO per annum for 20 years at 6
per cent., would cause a DEDUCTION from the sum
assured of THREE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY-FIVE CENTS.
The premiums of Mutual Assitrance Companies
being, as they profess, (though the Mutual offices
"do somehow" advertise guarantee capitals) free
fr(im the burdens of dividends to shareholders,
should be very much lower, than those of stock
companies ; YET THE EQUITABLE IS LOWER BY SIX
TEEN PER CENT. THAN ANY NI UTITAL OFFICE, and
at the SAME. HATES or PREMIUM charged by the
"New 'York Life," "The New York Mutual,"
" Albion," " Worcester Mutual," " Connecticut

The assured being thus entirely relieved of pay
ments (if he is under 35 years of age) before he has
passed the prime of life, and that for the same pre
mium charged by the Mutual Offices.
The premiums charged by the MUTUAL OFFICES
are all on the highest scale, (and by their own ad
vertisements) much beyond what is requisite for the
purpose of their business.
Their "profits" can only be realized, if ever
realized at all, after a lapse of twenty years. The
word Profits, therefore, is an abuse of the term, A
WHOLLY' CONTINGENT AND REMOTE PROMISE, for
it is self-evident, and cannot for a moment be ques
itioned, they must suffer loss by every insurer who
dies before the amount paid by him in premiums,
with the accumulated interest,. shall he equal to
the amount of his policy—nevertheless, in the Mu
tual Offices the "profits" (in) are to be shared in
by the representative, should the insured die na
arrmaxErN after one or two payments.
By the diminution of the premiums in the Equi
table, THE GREATEST PRESENT BENEFIT IS SECURED
to al persons assured by this company; whilst
those who wish to participate in the profits can do
so, by the purchase of the reserved shared, (first
instalment, 10 dollars) which at all times afford a
good and really profitable investment for capital,
beside a vote for each share. This action the
Trustees conceive must commend itself to the judg
ment of every vnbiassed inquirer, being based on the .
broad principle of equity; and securing to all the
members, the advantages to which they are justly
entitled by their actual payments; without opera
ting to the peculiar benefit of old standing members,
'or placing recent entrants at a disadvantage—a
combination presented by no other office than the
Equitable Litb Insurance Company.
THE ACTUAL MONEY Bonus given by the Equi
table, saved, is upwards of 15 per cent., at the time
of effecting the insurance'; OR IN ACCORDANCE with
the Scan. BONUS OF A MUTUAL OFFICE; THE SAVING
IS EQUAL TO TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY PER CENT.
PROFIT Scrum it Pamphlets, tables of rates,
lists of agents, obtained at the office, 74 Walnut

I All TRUING OF YOU, GILBERT.
TO J. G. L. F., LANCASTER CITY.
I am thinking of you, Gilbert, in the lonely office room,
On this fair and holy Eabbath. in the brightness of Its noon:
Vol my heart is sad and weary, weary with the pain of strife
And I'm sigbiog for the ending of this mortal struggling life,
When the spirit, all unfettered, will hie to purer realm.,
To the emulsions of the Godly, to the city of bright gems.
I am thinking of you, Gilbert. while upon the ambient air,
Aseborne the voice of fp ulering and the eryrof wild despair,•
And the lovely and the beautiful the brightest and the belt,
Are hurried from our mortal sight to their eternal rest.
While the strongest and earth's mightiest shrink back with gastly fear
And the eye that beastak with gladnea, is now darken'd with a taw.
I am thinking of you, Gilbert, while no sound of joy if nigh,
Save the runs c of the church hell. 13 11 floats across the sky.
Oh, those church bells, I remember, when youth was hie and bright,
I Itstened to their music, with a wild and gay delight;
And amid the days of nunhood, its stern sorrows and its pain,
I hod their gentle MIMIC still my feel3ugs doth enchain.
lam thinkiky, of you, G Ibert, while si!ence trim. profound,
And througho ut mighty city unheard is 'abet's sound,
Save the weary printer's mil In, and :he ticking of his type
As they fly from "rick,” like the moments of his life.
Oh: must Art be thus degraded, which ear kis darkness oft bas riven,
Must men, in wiling bondage, thus forget both God and H.ven.
I .am thinking of you, Gilbert, in your qdie; country hune,
Where tbouAtts of blessed happineas, like 6unshme, go and come ;
(And a thousand memories prom me, of the happy days of yore,
When the heart looked f,r h with gladnms, for the promised joys in
Where 2 father's fond caresses and a moth, rn lasting lore, [store.)
A e on:y the precursors of the joy in Heaven above.
I am thinking of you, Gilbert and thejays of wher days,
When youth was high ela,ed 'raid its fairy sports and plays,
When sorrow never clouded. the path by flowers decked.
Yet, alas! my hopes and pleasures. have since then been esdly wracked
And a melancholy feeling, blended with a though , of pain,
Must Puerer, with those moments, dui poor saddened heart enchain.

A Gentle Whisper in the Wm-
band's Ear
Husband, think of the good qualities of your be
loved, not of her bad ones; think of her good com
mon sense, her industry, neatness, order; her kind
ness, affability, and above all, her ardent piety, her
devotedness to things heavenly and divine. Suppose
you had a slattern for a wife, a slipshod hussy. a
gossip, a real termagant, whoSe tongue was not
merely a triphammer, but as the forked lightnings!
so that even the house top would be a thankful
retreat from her unmitigated fury! Suppose all
this, and still more, then say has not God dealt
infinitely better than your deserts.
"But she is not all I could wish."
Marvellous! wonderful! And are you, think, all
she could wish? Turn the wallet. Suppose you
cast an eye within and without, view your own
ugliness, and crookedness, and blackness? How
many things does your beloved wife see in you
that she has reason to despise as mean, selfish,
miserly, grovelling? Are you all that she could
wish? Far from it. But this prying into and
scanning each other's faults hypercritically, is
altogether wrong, and will always keep you on the
hatchel, fidgety, and rickety. Better, a thousand
times, study each other's graces and good qualities,
endeavoring to correct the faults of one another in
the spirit of meekness and love. The cause of all
this bickering, and sparring, and jarring, and split
ting, twaching, and hitching, is want of love. Love
covereth a multitude of blemishes Let the heart
be filled with love, and the little faults which now
appear mountains. will be swallowed up. or become
as mole hills. A husband who is always complain
ing, and growling, and snapping and snarling, is
enough to crush a heart of steel, to sour the mind
of an angel. The female heart is tender, sooihing,
sympathetic, lovely. Husband, speak kindly to
your beloved—
Speak kindly to her. Little dust thou know
What utter wretchedness, what helnless wo,
Hang on those bitter words, that stern reply;
The cold demeanor, and reproving eye.
The death steel pierces not with keener dart,
Than unkind words in woman's trusting heart.
The frail being by thy si.le is of finer mould;
keener her sense of pain, of wrong, greater her love
of tendeiness. How delicately tuned her heart;
each :tider breath upon its strings complains in
lowest notes of sadness, not heard, but felt. It wears
away her life like a deep under current, while the
fair mirror of the changing surface gives not one
sigh of woe. Man, put away unbelief, banish that
sourness and moroseness. arid sullenness, and mu
lishness; put on a smile of sweet affection; exhibit
kindness, tenderness. sympathy and love; and rest
assured, your wife, if not a real termagant, will
reciprocate, clasp you to her bosom in affection's
grasp. Your 'mouth will be filled with laughter,—
your domestic fireside, instead of a pandemonium,
will be a little paradise. Your little ones will
gather around you as olive plants—blooming sweet
ly in all the beauty and freshness of spring. Man
try it—Golden (14.) Rule.
A BSAVTIFEL EXTRACT.-1 saw a mourner at
eventide standing over the grave of one dearest to
him on earth. There memory of joys that were
past came crowding on his soul. _ .
In this hour of his agony, the form of Christian
ity came by. He heard the song and transport of
the great multitude, whkh no man can number,
around the throne : there were the spirits of the
just made perfect, there the spirit of her he
mourned. - Their happiness was pure, permanent
and perfect. The mourner then wiped the tear
from his eye, took courage and thanked God. "All
the days of my appointed time," said he, " will I
wait till my change comes." And he turned to .
the duties of life, no longer sorrerwing as those who
have no hope.
The Farmer's Wife.
The life of the farmer is so often made the sub
ject of complimentary remark, so often praised for
its peacefulness and independence, that the farmer's
wile ; might very rationally be supposed to be the
happiest woman in the world. From her relation
to the "lords of the soil" she should be the lady of
the soil, a peaceful, healthy, independent woman.
That the reverse of this is the general fact will be
universally conceded by the wives of the farmers.
A young farmer arrives at an age when he thinks
it time to get married and "settle down." He has
had a respectable education, and wants a woman
who is his equal. He looks about him, and makes
his choice. She is a girl bred beside him in the
country; has been well educated; reared by careful
parents, and is lathe truest sense a lady. She loves
books, possesses skill and taste in music, and is in
all points fitted to reign the queen of a happy home.
She becomes the wife of the farmer, is ambitious
to do as much as her neighbors, and her husband
is soon avaricious enough to allow the woman of
his love to become his most devoted drudge.
From thenceforth her life is one of the most un
remitting toil. It is nothing but mend and patch,
cook and bake, wash and iron, churn and make
cheese, pick up chips, and draw water, bear children
and nurse them. The family enlarges, the husband
grows wealthy, becomes important in the commu
nity, rides to town every day, takes his ease when
he chooses; but the cares of his faded and broken
down wife know no relaxation. She may outlive
her husband, but rarely does, and not unfrequently
a second wife comes in to share in the money that
should have been enjoyed by her predecessor,
through a quiet old age of rest.
This is no fancy sketch; it is drawn from life,
and in every country town and neighborhood its
truthfulness will be recognized. Now - we despise
the good for-nothings of fashionable life, as much
as any one, and have no affection for drones in any
hive. We are aware that circumstances sometimes
demand extreme labor of the farmer's wife, but in
New England those circumstances do not prevail;
and while we would leave no woman to eat the
bread of idleness, we would see the class of which
we are speaking released from the circle of ever-_
lasting drudgery, which deprives them of the privi
lege of relaxation for a day, and the time which
they would gladly devote to the maternal education,
of their children.
From this life the girls of our day learn to shrink.
not because they are . lazy, but because they know
they are to be sacrificed. Not because the calling
of the farmer is not respectable, but because they
do not wish to become . his mistress, maid-of-all
work, nurse and bootlick. Now the foundation
of all this wrong is that avaricious spirit handed
down by father to son. which make the dollar the
standard of respectability, and land the only source
of happiness. We hope to see the Thy when the
farmer's wife shall share in the pedcefulness and
independence of the farmer's lot, and we call upon
the ladies to engage in the reform themselves, and
to teach the lords of the soil, that there is some
thing to live for besides potatoes, and that life can
be enjoyed mote truly by a proper preservation of
the health, beauty, accomplishments and good
spit its of their companions.—Springfield Republican.
The Farmer's Daughter.
There is a world of buxom beauty flourishing in
the shades of the country. Farm houses are dan
gerous places. As you are thinking only of sheep
or of curds, you may be shouthrough by a pair of
bright eyes, and melted away in a bewitching smile
that you never dreamed of till the mischief is
In towns and theatres, and thronged assemblies of
the titled fair, you are on your guard, you know
what you are exposed tc, and put on your breast
plate, and pass through the must terrible onslaught
of beauty safe and sound. But in those sylvan re
treats, dreaming of. nightingales, and hearing only
the lowing of oxen, - you are taken by surprise. Out
steps a faitcreature—crosses a glade—leaps a stile.
You start—you stand lost in wonder and astonish
ed admiration! You take nut your tablets to write
a sonnet on the return of the Nymphs and Dryads
to earth, when up comes John Tompkins, and says:
"It's only the farmer's daughter."
"What! hive farmers such daughters now-a
days?-'
Those farm houses are dangerous places.. Let
no man with a poetical imagination, which is only
another name for a very tender heart, flatter him
self with the fancies of the calm delights of the
country, with the serene idea of sitting with the
farmer in his old fashioned chimney corner, and
hearing him talk of corn and mutton; of joining
him in the pensive pleasures of a pipe and a jug
of brown October; of listening to the gossip of the
comfortable farmer's wife, of the parson and his
family; of his sermons and his pigs; over a fra
grant cup of young hyson, or wrapped in the deli
cious luxuries of custards and whipped creams. In
walks a fairy vision of wondrous witchery. and
with a curtesy and a smile of winning and myste
rious magic. takes her seat just opposite. It is the
farmer's daughter, a living creature of eighteen;
fair as the lily, fresh as May-dew, rosy as the rose
itself, graceful as the peacock perched upon the
pales there by the window, sweet as a posy of vio
lets and clove gillivers, modest as early morn, and
amiable as your own imagination of Desdemona
or Gertrude of Wyoming. You're lost. It's all
over with you. I would not give an empty filbert,
or a frog-bitten strawberry, for your peace of mind,
if that glittering creature be not as pitiful as she
is fair. And that comes of going into the country,
out of the way of vanity and temptation, and fancy
ing farm houses, nice, old fashioned places of old
established contentment.
City of Moscow.
The city of Moscow, rendered famous by Napo
leon's celebrated expedition, was built in the 11th
century, and now contains 400,000 inhabitants. It
is situated in .a great valley, and the houses are
mostly built of wood, with roofs of sheet iron. - In
the centre of the city stands the walled hill or
Kremlin, which is surrounded by a brick.wall 50
to 75 feet high, and a mile and a half in circum
ference. Within these limits are several pui•lic
buildings. The popular !opinion that the Kremlin
is a palace, is erroneous. It is simply, as its name
signifies, a walled enclosure, and was built as a
defence against domestic insurrection. It could no
more be blown up by powder than could a great
hill. In the church which stands within its limits
is a bell weighing 140.000 lbs., but this is eclipsed
by a great .bell which stands at the toot of the
tower. This is 19 teet high. 65 feet in circumfer
ence, 18 inches thick, and weighs 900,000 pounds
avoirdupois. A large piece has been broken out of
it, and it is sometimes used as a chapel. Around
the city stretches a public garden or Rot'livard,
and outside of this a wall of turf 30 or 90 feet in
height. Three hundred churches, each with five
or six domes, are scattered throughout the city.
The clones are pear-shaped, and are surmounted by
a spire and a cross, wiih the crescent beneath it.
They are painted sometimes brown, and often a
bright blue color, with large spangles of gold. As
there are from 1,500 to 2,000 domes in the city,
the effect, when the sun is shining upon them, is
extremely brilliant. About nine-tenths of the city
was burnt by the Russians, when they evacuated
it in 1813.
Tea Lovsn FACES —Happy thoughts come
stealing upon us as we look upon the faces of
those we loved ih other days, those we have been
separated from for years, and who return again
with_ all the changes of time and thought upon
their brows. The joyous feelings that arise on
meeting w ith old familiar faces, cordial shaking of
hands, and the hearty congratulations that follow
—who does not remember them? But when those
we love and cherish leave us forever, when their
spirits pass away from earth to heaven, who would
not give all on earth for a picture, even a faint re
semblance, of their features, ever so animated and
beautiful! HoW many bright eyes grow dim, hos
many cheeks grow pale, how many lovely forms
fade away into the tomb, leaving not a shadow of
their loveliness behind! '
BY" The sons of the poor die rich—while the
sons of the rich die poor. What encouragement
to toil through life to acquire wealth to ruin our
children! Better to make use of our money as we
go along—educate our sons—secure their virtue by
habits of industry and study, and let them take
care of themselves.
Quaker Ptinishment.
A Long Island Quake'', who had a very unruly
ne g ro boy living with him, and whose disposition
he hadtried for a long time to bring under.the con-
trol of the peaceful influence of Quakerism in vain,
tried a new species of punishment, that is related
thus:—
Tired of moral suasion, the old Quaker was about
giving up in despair, when a thOught struck
"I will punish the lad;" said Aminadab to himself,
"I will not strike him, for he is one of God's crew- .
tunes on which men should not lay their unworthy
hands. Josiah," said he, addressing the boy, "come
here." Josh, whose keen eye discerned in the look
and manner of the old Quaker signs of some mys
terious movement, came doggedly up to his master,
and hung his head in token of humble submission.
"Josiah," continued the old man, "thee has been a
bad-boy, a very bad boy, and thy master has lost
all patience with thee. Dost thou know, ,Josiah,
where the wicked and unruly lads like thee go to?"
"No," whined the boy. "No! bay has thee never
heard of the bad place?" "Yes," was the reply,
" I have heard that. bad boys go to-- . --down, down,
down to dat dark dungeon where dey get the brim
stone from."
"That is the place, boy," continued the Quaker,
in a solemn tone, " and there I must take . thee,
Josiah."
"31e, massa, me, or Lora or Lora. I—l—l 0
Lora massa."
u Get ihy hat, Josiah, get thy hat and come with
me, I can hear no words from thee." The boy got
his hat and followed the Quaker to the railroad
depot, where they took the cars for Brooklyn. The
negro sat in sullen silence, half fearing and half
doubting the old man's intentions. On flew the
cars at the rate the boy, never had rode before ; the
engine snorting and putting not unlike what his
imaginaticin had pictured the chief of the infernal
regions. Trees, houses and fences seemed to fly as
if on wings, and before the cars reached Brooklyn,'
the - poor lad's head was fairly bewildered, and he
scarcely knew whether lie was going up.or "down,
dozen down." Furious as the wind came the train
down Atlantic. street; horses snorted and dashed
away from the track in fright, the boys hooted and
-creamed. and poor Josh looked as it he thought
he was on his way to the world of spirits. Pres
ently the engineer gave one of those terrible whist
les that echoed throughout the whole city, and the
engine plunged into the tunnel. " Good bye, Josiah,"
Arninadab, and he suddenly stepped 'from his
seat to the platform outside the car. A screech--
a groan—and then a stifled moan was heard where
the negro sat, and then all was dark and Still, save
the puffiing and whistling of the engine and the
rattling of the cars, as thy whistled on through
the narrow passage. Once or twice a noise like a
struggle cr catching for breath was faintly heard
coming from the negro's seat, but nothing was
known of the hornirs of that "middle passage"
until the train emerged from the tunnel, on the
west side. The passengers were then horrified at
a sight which they supposed was a case of the
cholera in their midst. A "dead nigger." sure, was
right among them. The old Quaker had poor Josh
by the collar, shaking and scolding and trying to
make him stand on his feet. But Josh wasa "gone
nigger" to all appearances, and it was an hour be
fore the passengers and "Josiah' , could understand
that he had passed through the infernal' regions.
For a fen , minutes the old Quaker was as frighten
ed as any body, and thought that his punishment
had ended in manslaughter. Josh finally came "out
right," and it is hoped that he will hereafter be a
better boy and long remember his visit to the bad
place."—Merchants' Day Book.
FEMALT: ORATORS.—There is a kind of female
orators who deal in invectives, and who are com
monly known by the name of the Censorious. The
imagination and elocution of this set of rhetoricians
are wonderful. With what a fluency of invention,
and copiousness of expression, will they enlarge
upon every little slip in the behavior of another',
With how many different circumstances, grid with,.
what variety of phases, will they tell over the same
story. I have known an old lady make an unhappy
marriage the subject of a month's. convereation.—
She blamed the bride in one place; pitied her in
another; laughed at her in a third; wondered at
her in a 'fourth; was angry with her in a fifth; and
in short, wore out a pair of coach horses in express
ing her concern for her. At length, after having
quite exhausted the subject on this side, she made
a visit to the - new married pair, praised the wife
for the prudent choice she had made, told her the
unreasonable reflections which some malicious
people cast upon her, and desired that they might
be better acquainted.—Addison.
THE FIRESIDE.—Wearied with the fatigues, or,
what is worse, the impertinences of the day, how
pleasant it is to retreat to one's own hearth Dig
guise and restraint are here laid aside, and the soul
as well as the body, if tolerably well formed, al
ways appears more beatnik!l in dishabille. The
quintessence of earthly-happiness, which, in warm
er climates, was expressed by sitting under one's
own vine, is here more sensibly felt by -me's fire
side. There is something in the tempers of the
English-which the fire softens, as it does the metal,
and renders fit for use. How often has a room lull
of visitar.ts been unable to furnish out an hours
conversation, for no other reason but that they were
seated in stately order at long-angled distance from
the fire. Bring the same assembly into a cozy
semicircle round the grate, and they prove won
derfully good company. Tell us not of the convi
vial bottle,-with its riotous folly and fevered wor
shippers; but commend us to the cheerful house

piness.
Tux PROPHETIC DEW-DROP.-.A. delicate child,
pale, and prematurely wise, was complaining on a
hot morning, that the poor dewdrops had been too
hastily snatched away, and not allowed to glitter
on the flowers like other happier dew-drops that
lived the whole night through, and sparkle in the
moonlight, and through the morning onward to
noonday. -The sun," said the child,• "has chased
them away by his heat or swallowed them up in
his wrath." Soon after came rain and a rainbow,
whereupon the father pointed upward—" See," said
he, "there stand the new drops gloriously reset—a
glittering jewelry—in the heavens, and the clown
ish foot tramples, on them no more. By this, my
child, thou art taught that what withers on earth,
blooms again in heaven." Thus the father spoke,
and knew not that he spoke prophetic words; for
soon after the delicate child, with the delicate
brightness of his early wisdom, was exhaled like a
dewdrop into heaven.
A SCENE is Coom—The Cincinnati Commercial
tells a good story of a scene in a Court of that city.
We give the story as that paper tells it:
Not a bad anecdote is told of Egq. Wick Roll.
A case of assault and battery came betore him some
time since, awl after an examination of several
witnesses, one of them, whom the 'Squire had
questioned rather sharply, became highly incensed,
and uncorking the ' , la's of his wrath, said he could
" whip any man that doubted hii word under oath."
The 'Squire pulled off his spectacles, made a leap
over the rail and cried, "the court stands adjourned
till the fight's over," and then, in a trice, "harnessed"
the witness and whipped him in about as quick
time as might be supposed to be agreeable. The
belligerent witness being disposed of, the 'Squire
very gravely continued the case, and gave in his
decision according to the evidence.

vation difficult for years., It is not uiaire9uently
that we see the corners of lots, and unoccupied by
the fences, overgrown with thistles, mullens, nettles
and the like; and very often the soil around stone
heaps, that cannot be got at conveniently - by the
plough, is abandoned to their usurpation. This,
however, is bad policy, and should never be coun
tenanced on any farm, no matter what may be the
dimensions, or the uses to which it is applied. •
