The New York Knickerbocker, publishes the fol
lowing as an authentic copy of one of Tom
Moores unpublished Lyrics:— -
That though gin true I've thought of love,
And other beauties idly strove •
My heart to free from flosa 7 s chain 7
UnbrOken the golden links remain
Entwined round every part;
And if another's charms I've praised,
Those charms but fond remembrance raised. .
Perhaps it was. her tresses flowing,
Dirhpled cheeks and blushes 1
Oh, no! oh, no!
None but Rost , ti lip, and Ross's eye,
And Rosa 7 s sell cnn cause the sigh ;
Still Rosa rules my heart•
I own, betrayed by youth or wine, •
I've thought a form, a face divine;
Or, when some witching eyren sung,
My yielding soul enraptured hung,
Bewildered by her art;
But soon that feeble spell was gone;
Somi faint resemblance said alone;
Can tones lees sweet, or looks less smiling,
Long delude, your sense beguiling ?
• Oh, no ! oh, no !
None but Rosa7s lip, and Rosa , s eye,
And Rosa3s can cause the sigh;
Still Rosa rules my heart.
FARMER PLAINLAND'S VISIT TO CHURCH
BY C. MILLED WENDALL
Few, doubtless, have forgotten Cie existence of
a very singular law which was e.iforced some fifty
years since. It was to prevent absence from the
regular places of worship on the Sabbath. Like
many other laws, it was more actively enforced by
the small county towns, than in the city or its su
burbi. The Justices. in these days had scarcely
work enough to sustain the dignity of their pro
fession,, while the people, in some cases, attended
more closely to their neighbors' affairs than to their
own, and, instead of attending strictly to the ser
mons, were too Soften gazing abbut the house, in
order to mark the vacant seat of some neighbOr.—
Af'er 'several addresses the delinquent was sure to
receive a summons from the Sheriff to appear be
fore the august Justice, and to pose through the
solemn ordeal of a country court.
In, the :own of B----, a few miles west of
Worcester, dwelt a worthy farmer and his happy
family. He 'yes the possessor of what in those
days was ooniiidered a large fortune, viz: about ten
thousand dollars, which was carefully invested in
safe mortgages, besides more than 100 acres of land.
He had one grievous fault, for so his neighbors
considered it, which was that his attendance
,at
church was by no means frequent. His residence
was mote than five miles distant from the meeting
house;" and he, had imbibed the singular notion that
the Sabbath was intended for a day of rest both for
man and beast, and consequently, he would not al
low his horses, which had faithfully performed their
labors during the week, to be disturbed or used;
hence, the family were obliged to walk, if they
went at all, which was not often the case.
Note the farmer was by no means a skeptic on
the points of religion. On the contrary, his family
were assembled upon each Sabbath morning in their
snug parlor, while he read to them portions of the
Scriptures, and,afterwards a sermon from the pule
lished writings of some popular clergyman. But
the envy which the prosperous ate always sure of
experiencing, raised up enemies . against him Nor
was he much surprised one Monday morning to re
ceive a visit from a consequential Sheriff with a:
sumnions to appeat immediately before the Honor:
able Justice Bylaw, and the honorable court then
and there assembled, - at the grocery of 'Squire By-
Farmer 'Plainland made no remonstrance, and
after Placing a Well- fi lled money pouch in his pocket
proceeded with the sheriff to the place aforesaid,
where the court had gravely, assembled.
The reader may question the propriety of using
the word sheriff in. this instance, but I would reply
that every constable, in those days, either dubbed
himself with the title,
which he considered honor
able, or was so called by his conciliatory townsmen.
A country court of olden times was a curiosity
which has not been preserved tor us of the younger
generation. It is only occasionally to be found in
the wilds of the west, and even there in a modern.
ized state.
In the piesent instance a number of farmers were
assembled together, with witnesses and mischievous
boys, who pellormed sundry teats of sleight-of-hand
with the raisins, figs and lumps of sugar in their
vicinity.
His Honor was seated on the head of a huge mo
lasses cask, being the most elevated place he could
obtain, while. between his pendant legs was'a small
painted keg resting upon the cask; which served
the purpose of a writing desk, and bore on its round
ed front not precisely the emblem of Justice, but
the portentous word, -Gin.'
The defendant was allowed to seat himself upon
a vinegar barrel, directly opposite, while the spec
tators arranged themselves upon the counters, boxes,
bags, &c, which occupied the room.
Thus the court opened. Although the case was
one of the plainest character, still many witnesses
were summoned, all of whom were anxious to die
tinguish themselves; but they were destined to be
disappointed, for, when the Justice asked the ques
tion—
'Guilty or not guilty
Farmer Plainland answered—
'Decidedly guilty.
This plain avowal astonished the worthy Justice.
and somewhat disconcerted him, for he did not
much like the idea of filt - ing the case so quickly
decided; it robbed him of his importance; in short,
it became a farce without a play. He therefore
coughed several times, and said—
'Mr. Plainland, the important occasion upon
which we have met is justice. Painful as the ef
fort may be it becomes my duty to see the laws
carried clean through as reg'lar as sealed balances.
You are brought here as an offettiier, and if found.
guilty, must suffer the penalty of the law; bat, just
let me tell you, no man is obleeged to criminate
himself. Nor is any man accountable for what he
may say in , law, unless he be a 'witness; then , of
course, it is a case of perjury, if he don't tell the
truth, the hull truth and nuthin' but the truth.—
Now I shall ask the question ag'in, and, remember,
I do not want you to criminate yourself.'
Notwithstanding this elnquent speech, which
electrified his audience, the termer firmlyndheied
to his former assertion, which left no'other course
for the disappointed Justice than to prdnounce sen
tence at once, which was one dollar and costs;
which he immediately paid and departed. But as
he lett the store, the people noticed a meaning smile
which played upon his features.
'Depend upon it,' said one, 'Farmer Plainland
will be even with them yet. He has got some idea
into his head, I know, by that smile of his. He
never smiles like that except when be is mad, and
then look out for fun or thunder, that's all I can
The next Sabbath morning most of the people
'remained upon the steps and in the porch of the
meeting-house, contrary to the usual custom. The
fact was, they were anxious to see if the late retri
bution of the law would cause the appearance of
the long absent Farmer Plainlaind.. :The female
portion ot'the outside assembly expiessed their de ,
sire tiksee if the family would dare to bold up their
heads titter .such a disgrace,' But minute after.
minute, which seemed like so many hours to the
expectant crowd, continued to pass awny j 'and the
farmentlid.not appear. .
The parties grew impatient, and begam to fear
that they were destined--to be disappointed; The

sun or those dap, veLen au exciatr;atiou from the
bystanderh caused him to 'look about biro. S h ades
of the Apostles !" "what a profintion, what a view
was presented to his astonished , vision. Upon the
ascending . oad, which led to the church, Farmer
Plainland was seen, with his family, in rather a
novel mode of conveyance. -
A ponderous wagon, drawn by two pair of strong.
sturdy oxen,
driven by the farmer, who appeared
in excellent humor, and in a blue frock, each as he
wore about his f.,rtn. His wile and daughters were
arrayed in their best silks and their happiest smiles.
His son, a young city merchant, with a young man,
his friend, who had arrived 'the day before, were
also there, and considering Ole affair rare port, had
also donned short, light frocks, which but partially
concealed their light clothes.
When near the steps of the church, the party
were about leaving their rural car promiscuously,
which Mr. Plainland would not allow. He was de
termined to have everything done decently and in
order. Hence, after sundry conversations, inter
spersed with gentle hints of his whip to his oxen.
in a language which they; readily understood, al
though perfectly unintelligible to us, the vehicle
was backed up to the steps upon which its valuable
1 freight immediately landed.
In those days it was also the custom to carry a I
collation to church, where they remained until
al
ter the afternoon service. The farmer, who was
:and of good living, came prepared in this respect.
The wagon was drawn beneath the spreading
branches of several large oak trees, and a table
formed of boards was made; which was spread by
a neat white cloth, and a quanity of viands sufficient
for a moderate pic-nic party. The young men had
procured green boughs, with which they ornament
ed the rough vehicle, while the fair girls made beau
tiful wreathes of oak leaves for the young men
and themselves. Several of their neighbors were
invited to join them, who very eagerly accepted,
and the time passed by most pleasantly. •
The sermons of that day were entirely lost upon
the congregation, who were too busy gazing at the
prominent pew of Farmer Plainland and its singu
lar inmates to heed anything else. His triumph
was complete, while his enemies were must com
pletely non-plumed and out-generaled.
After services were ended. some of the elders of
the church and their pastor signified to him that he
might remain at home as often as he pleased, and
he would sever again be subject to a fine. They
tadded, that his sentiments being of a peculiar na
,:ture, perhaps, on the whole, it would be better for
him to do as he hitherto had done.
'Or, in other words, said the farmer, smiling as
he took leave of them, 'I can now be allowed to
worship my Creator according to the dictates of my
own conscience.'
Tin MAINS Li(LITOR LLW.—Gov. Seymour, of
Connecticut, in his late Message to the Legislature
of that State, thus expresses himself on the sub
ject:
"It is much to be regretted that it should be
thought advisable in any quarter to resort to stat
utes of doubtful import in aid of a great moral, re
form. In vain may we look for any lasting gold
from laws, however they may be enforced for a
a time, which are not clearly based upon correct
principles. An act for the suppression of the en
tire trade in spirituous liquors, known by the name
of the State where it originated, and which is com
mended as a model for legislation here, has lost.
none of its objectionable features during the discus
sion it has elicited. On the contrary it is seen
more plainly than ever that it strikes at the foun
dation of rights which, if once overthrown, will
leave the door open for any arbitrary exercise of
power which a majority, however obtained; may
choose to inflict. An original inherent conviction
of the injustice of the proposed law has been
strengthened and confirmed in my own mind by
subsequent reflection, to which the recent decisions
of the courts have lent the weight of high legal
authority. Without any means of judging to what
extent further efforts, if any, may be made to en
•graft such a law upon Our statutes, and not consid
ering that it would become me to go into any in
quiry of the sort; or presume to question the pro
priety of any - course of action upon the subject
which an honest preference 'of opinion may
suggest, I shall hold ,myself prepared for any emer
gency. The subject Of temperance, separated from
politics, and calmly addressing itself to reason and
judgment, has my warmest sympathies. That it
can yet be promoted in any other way has not been
proved by the different means - which have been em
ployed to advance-the cause."
PUBLIC DIZMIER.--The Tribune fires the follow

Public dinners are public nuisances—flagrantly
so: They area relic of outgrown barbarism which
esteems eating and drinking the chief ends of life.
and would show affection as Joseph did lohis broth
er Benjamin—by giving him three times as great
a mess as'was apportioned to his half-brothers. It
is every way unworthy of our age to attempt to
honor, reward, or show admiration for a public ben
efactor by feasting him, even when (as at Boston
yesterday) intoxicating liquors are excluded. But
an ordinary public dinner. "with a stick in it," is
essentially a bestial performance. Two or three
hundred people are assembled to eat an inordinate
meal,•at an unusal and unseasonable hour, paying
for it a sum that of them cannot really afford, and
washing it down with incessant libations of vil
lainously drugged cider and cockroach Madeira,
Which gets steadily worse as the company get more
and more enthusiastically and obviously drunk—
the the speeches, beginning with the prosy and fog
gy, and ending somewhere in the infancy of the
small hours, with the tipsy and the nasty—then
then leathery cloud of cigar smoke which, for the
last hour or two, is battened down the whole con
cern,' afflicting, torturing, demoralizing all well
bred, cleanly, uncorporated senses—and ab! the sick
headaches, the days of misery, and often the fatal
illness that follow, as death on the pale horse was
followed—on the whole, we consider the public
dinner the absurdest, the stupidest bore of the
XlXth century.
THE WAY THEY KEEP SUNDAY IN LONDON.-•
A correspondent of the New Haven Reg ister says
that the violation of the Sabbath in Lonart is not
quite as notorious as at Paris,.yet the former city
has not much to boartt or in that respect. All the
lines of omnibuses are in full activity on Sunday,
conveying to the towns and villages around the me
tropolis thousands and tens of thousands of city
workers of both sexes, • who are not able to taste
fresh air except on that day. The little iron steam
ers',
ot the Thames are loaded full of a Sunday, to
carry up and down the river the votaries of plea
sure who crowd upon the decks. And then all the
railroads of the metropolis are to full blast on Sun
day, carrying pasiengcrs at a very cheap rate:to the
vatious points and localities most interesting to
strangers and others. Windsor Castle is thronged
with visitors on Sundays, the Queen's band dis
coursing the most delightful music in the garden of
the palace, commencing immediately after divine
service. This band; composed of about forty well
instructed performers, attract vast multitudes to the
packs r and grounds around Windsor Castle, on the
days above named. Probably a finer basil of in
strumental performers cannot be found in all Europe.
If is the favorite of the coastand the people. Eat
ing houses, drinking shops, confectionaries, &c., &c.,
are' allowed to accommodate their customers with
out let or hindrance. In kword, Sunday is a holi
day to the masses in tandenras,it is to the' masses
in almost every city in Europe, either Catholic or
Protestant.

DR. JOHNSTON,
vfember of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon.
don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges of the United States and the greater part o
whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon
don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect
ed some olihe most astonishing cures that were
ever knogn. Many troubled with ringing in the
eau and head when asleep,great nervousness, being
alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with
frequent blushing, attended; sometimes, with de
rangement of mind. were cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by private and improper indulgencies,
that secret and solitary habits, which rum both
body and mind, unfitting them for either busines
or society.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ef
fects produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the head,
Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal.
pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrita
bility, Derangement of the Digestive Functions,
General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c
Mentally.—The fearful effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory,Conf salon
of Ideas,
.Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo
ding, Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of
Solitude-, Titnidhy, &c. aresome of the evils pro
duced-
NERVOUS DEBILITY
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and
premature decay generally arises from the destruct
ive habit of-youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful existence of man, and it is the young
who are the most apt to become its Victims from
an ignorance of the dangers,to which they subject
themselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis•
led with respect to the cause or source of disease
in their eons and wards. Alas! how often do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the Hea ~ Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and
Syniptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effects, such as lose of Memory, Depres•
Elton of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when
the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to
both Body and .Mind. Thus are swept from ex
istence thousands who might have been of rise to
their country, a pleasure to their friends, an orna
ment to society.
WEAKNESS OF. THE ORGANS
immediately cured and full vigor restored.
Oh, how happy save hundreds
. of misguided
youths been made, who have been suddenly Teete
red to health from the devastations of those terrific
maladies which result from indiscretion. Such
persons, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the
;most necessary - requisites .to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey thro'
tile becomes a wehry pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan
choly reflection that the happiness of another be
comes blighted with our own. Let no false delica
cy prevent you, but apply immediately.
He who places himself under tRe care of Dr
JOHNSTON, may religiously confide in his hon
or as a Gentleinan, and confidently rely upon his
skill as a Physician
TO STRANGERS.
The many thousands cured at this institution
within the last ten years, and the numerous im
portant Surgical-Operations performed by .Dr. J.,
vitneseed by the Reporters of the papers and ma.
qy other persons, notices of which have appeared
tgain and, again before the public, is a sufficient
guarantee that the affiicied will find a skilful and
I,inorable physician.

' The True Digestive Fluid or Gastric Juice
PREPARED from Rennet, or the Itturth Storn•
ach of the Os, after directions of BARON Lama:
the great Physiological Chemist, by J. S. Hough;
ton, M. D. Philadelphia, Pa.
. Mists a truly wonderful remedy for Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Constipa
tion, and Debility, curing after Nature's own
method, by Nature's own Agent, the Gastric Juice.
Halt a teaspoonful of Pepsin, infused in water,
will digest or dissolve, Five Pounds of Roast Beef
in about two hours, out of the stomach.
PEPSIN is the chief element, or Great Digesting
Principle of the Gastric Juice—the solvent of the
food, the purifying, preserving and stimulatiug
agent of the stomach and intestines. It is extracted
from the digestive stomach of the Ox, thus form
ing an Artificial Digestive Fluid, precisely like the
natural Gastric Juice in its chemical powers ' and
furnishing a complete and perfect substitute for it
By the aid of this preparation, the pions and .e7ils
of Indigestion and Dyspep.ia are removed, just as
they would be by . a healthy stomach. It is doing
wonders for dyspeptics, curing cases of Debility,
Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and Dyspeptic Con
sumption, suppdsed to be on the verge of the grave
The scientific evidence upon .which it is based, is
to the highest degree curious aid remarkable.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
Baron Lie , ,ig in his celebrated work on Anima
Chemistry, .says: ''An artificial Digestive Fluid,
analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be readily
prepared from the mucous membrane of the stom
ach of the calf, in which I. , ,iirious articles of food,
as meat and eggs, will be soltened, changed, , and
digested, just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach."
Dr. Pereira; in his lamous treatise on Food and
Diet," published by Fowler & Wells, New York,
page 35, states the same great fact, and describes
the method of preparation. There are few higher
authorities than Dr. Pereira.
Dr. Combe, in his valuable
,writings on the
n Physiology of Digestion," obsenies that 4 'n dim•
notion of the due quantity of the Gastric Juice is
a prominent and all•prevailing cause of Dyspepsiar'.
and he states that "a distinguished professor of
medicine in London, who was severely afflicted
with this complaint, finding everything else to fail,
had recourse to the Gastric Juice, obtained Iron -
the stomach of living animals, which jreved com
pletely successful!."
Dr. Graham, author of the famous works du
"Vegetable Diet," says: "It is a remarkable fact
in phgsiology, that the stomachs of animals, mace
rated in water, impart to the fluid the property of
dissolving va..ous articles of food, and of effecting
.a kind of artificial digestion of them in flowing
iliffrfeent mro the natural digestive process."
AS A DYSPEPSIA CURER,
Dr. fl OUGHT() N 'S PEPSIN has produced tho .„
most marvellous effects, in curing cases of Debility,
Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and Dyspeptic
Consumption. It is impossible to give the details
of cases in the limits of this advertisement ; but
authenticated certificates have been given of more
than Two Hundred Remarkable Cures, in Pinta
delphia, New York and Boston alone. These
were neatly all desperate cases, and the cures were
not onty rapid and wonderful, but permanent.
It is a great Nervous Antidote, enc. particularly
useful for tendency to Billions disc rder, Liver
Coutplaim, Fever and Ague, ur badly !voted Fever.
ana Ague, and the evil effects of Quinine, Mer-
cury and other drugs upon the Digestive Organs,
after a locg sickness. Also, for excess in eating,
and the too free use of ardent spirits. It almost
reconciles 'health with intemprance.
OLD STOMACH COMPLAINTS.
There is no form of Old Stomach Complaint■
which it does not seem to reach and remove at
once. No matter how bad they may be, it gives
instant relief! A single dose removes all the un
pleasant symptoms; and it only needs to bo repeated
