INDIAN VEG pTABLE PILLS.
Of the North American College of Health.
This extraordinary medicine is founded upon the
principle that the human frame is' subject to ONLY
ONE DISEASE, VIZ .Corrupt Humors, or in otner words
Impurity of the Blood. and nothing save vegetable
cleansing, is wanted in order to drive disease °revery
description from the body.
If the channels of our mighty rivers should be
come choked up, woold not the 'accumulated waters
find new outlets, or the country be inundated?—Just
so with the human body; if the natural drains become
cloied, the accumulated impurities will most assurcd
.ly findvent in some form of disease or death will Wa
certain consequence.
WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS
are eminently calculated for carrying out this GRAND
PURIFYING PRINCIPLE, because they area purgative
medicineso justly balanced and withal so natural
to the human constitution, that they cannot possibly
injure the most delicate; at the same time, if used in
such a manner-as to produce free evacuations by the
bowels, and repeated a few times, it will be absolute.
ly impossibln for pain or distress of any kind to con
tinue in the body.' A single twenty five cent box of
the above named Indian Vegetable Pills will, in all
cases, gave relief, sometimes even beyond the power
of words to describe, and if persevered in for a short
time, there is not a rtialacty in the whole course of
ills that can possibly withstand their astonishing
and wont:ertel influence. ‘VitiGtifetii:DlAN VEGETA.
.RLE Pitt-s are a certain cure for
COS I'l V En ESS.
Because they completely cleanse the stomach and
bowels from those bilious and cm runt ht.mors which
paralyse and .weaken the digestive organs, and
are the cause of headache,' nausea, and sickness,
palpitation of the heart, rheumatip pains in vs.
nous parts of the body, and many other ,unpleasant
st tenuus.
In all disordered motions of the Blood. called
Intermittent, Remittent, Nervoug, Inflammatory, anti
Putrid
‘Vruzlit's Indian Vegeta`de Nis will be found a ter
rain remedy; because thy cleanse the stomach and
hitt% els from all billtous humors and purify the
Band: consequently, as they remove every kind of
disease, they are absolutely certain to cure every kind
olli.ver.
So, also when morbid humors are deposited upon
the m . embrane and muscle. causing those pains in(la,
maiion and swelling, called
It EU l ATISNI, GOUT, &c.,
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills may be relied on as.
always certain to give relief, and if persvered with,
will most assuredly, and without fail, make a per,
lict cure of the above painful maladies.—From three
to sic of scud huhu) Vegetable Pills taken every night
or, going to bed, will, in a short time, completely rid
the butt front all morbid ano corrupt humors; and
rheumatism, g , int. and pain of every description, will
disappear, afut' by magic.
Fur Fur the salve reason, when, from sudden changes
of the atmosphere, or any other cause, the persptra.
turn is'ebeeked, and those humors which should pass
off by the s kin. are thrown inwardly, causing headache,
nausea, nod sickness, pain in the bones, watery and
inflamed eyes, sure throat. hoarseness, coughs. con,
sumption,rheninatic pains in viiinus part of the body ,
and many othdr symtoms of
COLD,
ffriiht's Indian Vegetllile Pills .111 invariably give
immediate relief. Three or four pill's taken at night
on going to bed, and repeated a few times, , will
remove all the above unpleasant symtoms, and
restore the body to even sounder health than before.
The same may. be said of difficulty of breathing,
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills will loosen and
carry otf hy the stomach and bon els those rough,and
phlegmy humors which stop the air cells of the
lungs, and are the - c'ause of the above dreadful coni
plaint
Ii should also be remembered that NVRIGHT'S
IN DI AN V hi( . rABLI•: YI LLS are certain to remove
Pain in the bide. oppression, nausea and sickness, loss
of appetite. cost,veness. a ycliuw tinge of the akin
and eyes, aid every other symptoms of
LIVER COMPLAINT.
Because they purge from the body those corrupt and
stagnant humours, which when deposited on the liver,
are the cause of the above dangerous complaint.
They are also to prevent
Apoi3LExy AND SUDDEN DEATIT.
Because they carry off.thoee humours which obstruc—
ting the circulation, are the cause of a rush, or deter
mination of blood to the head; giddiness, especially
on turning suddenly round, blandness, drowsiness, loss
of memory ; inflamation of the brain, insanity, and , all
disordersaif the mind.
Those who labour within doors should remember
that they frequently breathe an atmosphere which is
wholly unfit for the proper expansion of the lungs,
and at the smite time owing to n ant of exercise. the
bowels arc not sufficiently evacuated, the blood
becomes impure, and headache, indigestion, palpita
tion of the heart, and many other disagreeable
symtoms are sure to follow.
OE
WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS.
Heim , a Cleanser of the stomach and bowels, and a
rill,' I purifier of the Blood, are certain not only to
remote pain or distress of every kind from the hod3k
but if used occtisionallyoso as to keep the body free
from those humours which are the cause of every
Inaba,/ aricideul to man. they will most assuredly
promote such a Just and equal circulation of the blood
thit those who lead a sedentary life, will be able to
enjoy sound health, and disease rg any kind will lie
absolutely impossible.

A Fmgment.
A sound of sadness swept, upon the gale ;
And midst the noise of revelry and Mirth.
It trembled strangely on the listening,ear. '
Gay voices laughed aloud—bright lights—sweet mu
•
sic—
Beaming,joyous smiles; and all the glittering
ora pageant rare, bedecked the hall within
And yet she wept—she the young glorious one,
Who mid the beauty of that faint scene,
Was the most beautiftd. An hour before;
And she had played kir game of life
More brilliantly than all. At her, bright shrine,'
Warm adoration knelt as 'twere its Only footstool;
Yet she was weeping, and the low sobs that shook
Her beart•wrung frame were piteous to hear.
, An hour before. and she had stood
Within : the glitter of that flashing scene,
Peerless and proud as any.—The poor fops, '
Whollutte red 'round and smirked`to catch her eye,
Felt extacy at a slight passing , smile. - Her every word
Was treasur ed, and she moved high, fair, and beautiful
The goddess of the throng.
One eye was resting on her,
One road form stood far about, watching
With calm stern gaze her every movement;
Within his soul he carried noble feelings,
Genius had stamped upon his brow.
Her signet seal of power, and he,with strong
Abandonment had yielded all to woman.
Strange is the action of the human he-rt;
And wild in its perverseness ! One slight word,
Uttered with bitter feeling, fell upon his heart;
And like the scorching, withering blast of death.
-Had seared its loving impulse. S!owly he bowed
And sad:y turned away, Ills tightened lip '
And pallid quivering face, told the stern truth,
That from that hour she was a thing uncared for.
It is a fearful thing
To tamper with strong feeling. Let the heart beat on
Ind do not check its workings. She, poor girl !
Secure in fancied power, had dared to trample
On the love she owned, and lost it with the_Offort.
The heart she cast aside was pure and fervent,
Wonder not then that she wept!' W.

To the Railroad Companies and Iron Mar
tett of Penney-W.4111a.
Continuing our observations about the article
contained in the January number of the Frank
lin Institute, we remark that—although it is writ
ten by a foreigner, we cannot help feeling pleased
with the clear, simple convincing manner, in
which practical views on Locomotive building are
expounded, and make popular truths td be no
longer disregarded by any President or Board of
Directors of Railroad Companies.
They can be understood by every schoolboy,
and ordering a six wheel engine of the old plan
with one driving axle, when eightwheelers with
lwb can be procured whosoever their builders
may be, must be deemed in future a fault equally
great in railroad administration, as in a general
ordering cavalry to charge a wood or wall in tac-
We understand besides, that the writer of this
article—a Captain of the Austrian Engineer
Corps, ever since his arrival in this country in
1841, has been diligently engaged in compiling
an extensive work on our internal improvements
and , idle American system of Locomotion on rail
roads, in contradistinction to the English. To
judge from the sample, the above mentioned arti
cle affords, much good may be expected.
After a careful investigation-into our principal
railways, this officer we hear has been so deeply
impressed with the equal fitness and greater eon
only of cast iron rails, that he hesitated not strong
ly to recommend their introduction 'on the Aus
trian railroads to Archduke John of Austria, one
of the 'most learned princes in Europe, head of
the Austrian Engineer Departrik t, 'rid uncle to
the reigning Emperor.
The Captain is of opinion that—wtte the great
stock of wrought iron rails on hand shall be used
p, Amencan enterprize, and the quick Yaiikee
perception of the useful in our people, aided in
this circumstance by truly patriotic feelings. will
not fail to bring about a thorough change in our
railroad system. Convinced as we are of the cor
rectness of his views, we think it however laudi
ble our Engineers, not to have disturbed pub
lic opinion hitherto, with regard to the greater
benefit our Railroad Companies might have deli
red (Toni using cast iron rails in the beginning,.
Dissatisfying the public mind at a period, when
no remedy could be applied to cure the evil, would
have been at the best but a cruel sincerity. But
at present, when many of our roads throughoct
the Union, show in their rails great fiy m p toms of
decay, and when the use of cast iron in the mi
ning districts of Pennsylvania has become so gen
eral as to cause its application even for the cross
ties, instead of wooden sleepers, we think it time,
that public attention should be directed towards
the proper use of our own 'mineral riches, and
that in particular the Legislature of Pennsylva
nia should na fail to take the matter in hand.—
The captain's connexion, we learn, is countenan
ced by the opinions of many distinguished Engi
neers, practical founders, and experienced mecha
nics, amongst whom we take the liberty of men
tioning ; Messrs. Ellwood Morris, Ch. Ellet, C.
B. Stuart, .1. Herron, J. C. Trautwine, and I.
Trimble, civil Engineers, ( with Mr. B. Aycrigg,
thb patron of cast iron rails in Schuylkill county,)
Mr. G.. Washington Smith, whose pen has
well served the cause of railroads ; , we may also
mention Messrs. Spaulding and Jtherwood, and
C. E. Detmold of the Engineering profession,
Mr. William Kemble, of the Coldsprii4 foundery
at West Point,. Messrs. Merrick and Towne, the
distinguished Machinists of Philadelphia, Mr.
William Norris, and Messrs. Eastwick and Har
rison, the well known builders of Locomotives,
and many others in our own country„ in addition
to the very distinguished English civ.ll•Engineers,
Messrs. Vignoles and Robert -Stephellson.• Al
though we are but an ameteur, wo cannot help
'thinking, that this array of men of science, and
experience, ought not to be wholly diiregarded in
furor of a mere prejudice. The positive fact that
some of our leading railroads—such as the Phila
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore, the Balti,
more and Qhio, the Baltimore and Sgsquehanna
Railroad, are now using cast iron driving wheels
with greater economy, equal Safety and such ef
ficiency, as to answer, every purpose, in spite of
the established notion, that cast iron possesses
not enough adhesion upon wrought iron rails for
drawing a becoming load; this fact wb think must
prove at least in part the incorrectness of the o
pinions of those,Twho reject cast iron altogether.
We are - sorry to learn, that in the Franklin In
stitute, the fitness of this material .for rails-has
been outvoted. Matters of sciencequght not to
be decided by a mere pleurality of ve6a. and the
whole proceeding in our humble opinion, reminds
us a little of Galileo and the Pope's :cardinals.
We haven? doubt that cast iron rails of a pro
portionate strength, and laid upon a continuous
*The distinguished director of the Philadelphia
mint, the best connected establishment of this kind in
any part of the would, is alto a Fat Ovorita of ca at
hearing in such a manned that even in case of
fraction, the fragments of the rail will hold to
gether steadfastly in the true line of the track,
cannot fail to answer, and with regard to durabil
ity and economy, prove superior to the English
rolled iron rails. What we have seen of the rap
id deterioration of these rails on the Columbia, the
Norristown, the Philadelphia and Baltimoii, the
Camden and Amboy Railway, (and here in spite
of the excellent material in the rails) and on oth
er railroads; not less than the now established
practice in England, of using no other wrought
iron rails than those of the great weight of from
60 to 73 lbs. - per yard; all this rather - makes us
inclined to think, that cast iron, cannot be quite so
bad a material as the owners of English rolling
mills, leagued with English Engineers and their
American imitators, have endeavored to make us
believe. England possessing no wood, and cast
iron rails allowing no stone support, was conse
gently forced to use rolled iron rails, and made the
whole world do the same, through the influence
of her commercial policy and the imitative pro
pensities of mankind.. The American system of
using wood for the superstructure, having now
found its way even in England. in spite of all
the declamations of the English Engineers of the
old ,lehool,we call them of the old school.because 10
or 15 years now a days constitute an age in sci
ence. and the American method of the string
piece taking also the lead on the new English
railroads; we entertain but little doubt, that the
Stockton and Darlington railroad with its ; east
iron rails, will call forth imitation ; the more so,
as the distinguished Professor of Engineering,
Ch. Vignoles has proposed cast iron rails, and as
the well known Engineer R. Stephenson's state
ment about the aforesaid railroad, is entirely in
favor of cast iron, giving the cost of repair and
maintenance of such rails as only one half of that
of wrought iron ones. We al ralu iy aware that
many mistakes in the mode of tasting rails may
possibly be made, until the proper degree of hard
ness and the fitting kind of pig iron will be dis
covered. We should think that the mottled iron,
out of which guns of heavy metal are cast, per

his models for a new plan of railway superstruc

civil Engineer, was pleased to show us a drawing.
This however is entirely beyond our sphere. We
only wish to direct public attention to a matter,
which we believe has beet. too much neglected in
this country by our Engineers and Railroad man
agers. The time has arrived howeier for a change;
and since our Locomotive Engines are brought to
such a pitch of perfectioß, the roads they weak
upon should be not less perfect.
Patriotism and every true American feeling
should urge us on not to pus slightly over a mat

the gradual adoption of cast iron rails, the divi

our own iron works and thousands of hands find
the necessary employment in these distressing

THE, PHILOSOPHER AND TUE FEIIIITNAN.-
A philosopher stepped on board a ferry boat to
crass a stream; on the passage he inquired'of the
ferryman if he understood Arithmetic: The man
looked astonished. r Arithmetiel no sir, I never
beard of it before: The philosopher replied, lam
very sorry, for one quarter of your life is gone.'
A few minutes after, he asked the ferryman : .Do
you know anything of mathematics 1 "rhe boat
man smiled and replied no. Well, then,' said
the philosopher, another quarter of your life is
gone.' A third question was asked the ferry-'
man: Do you understand AstiOnomy ' Oh !
no, sir, never heard of such a thing.' Well, my
friend, then another quarter of your life is gone.'
Just at that moment the boat ran on a snag, 'and
was sinking, when the ferryman jumped up, pull
ed off his coat, and asked the philosopher, with,
great earnestness of manner, ',Sir, can you swim V
No,'. said the philosopher. Well, then,' said
the ferryman, your whole life is lost, fin the boat
is going to the bottom.'

A REV.ELA.TION OP
A PREVIOUS .LIFE.
BY F. P. WILLIS.
"Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting,
Theses! that rises in us, our life's star,
Has had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar." Wordsworth
The death of a lady in a foreign land I . 6aves
me at liberty to narrate the circumstances which
follow.
A few word of previous explantation, however
lam inclined to believeNrom conversations on
the subject with many sensible persons, that there
are few men who have not had, at different inter
vals of their lives, sudden emotions, currents of
thought, affections : of mind and body, which not
only were wholly disconnected with the course of
life thus interrupted, but seemed to belong to a
wholly_different being.
Perhaps I shall somewhere touch the reader's
experience, by describing, rather minutely, and in
the first person, some sensations of this kind not
unusual to myself.
Walking in a crowded street, for example, in
prefect health, with every faculty gaily alive, I
suddenly lose the sense of neighborhood. I see—
I hear—but I feel a ill had become invisible where
I stand, and was at the same time present and
visible elsewhere. I know every thing that passes
around me, but I seem disconnected, and (magne
ficilly speaking-) unlinked from the human being
near. If spoken - to a't such a moment, I answer
with difficulty. The person who speaks, seems
addressing me from a world to-which I no longer
bplong. At the same time I have an irresiatable
inner consciousness of being present in another
sense of every-day life—where there are streets
and houses and people—where I am looked on
without surprise as a familiar object—where I
have cares,' fears, objects to attain—a different
scene altogether, Ind a different life, from the
serene and life of which I was a moment:, before
conscious. I have a dull ache at the back of my
eyes for the minute or two that this trance lasts,
and then slowly and reluctantly, any alisent soul
seems creeping back, the magnetic links of con
scious neighborhood, one by one, re-attach, and I
resume my ordinary life, but with an irrepressible
feeling of sadness.
- It is in vain that I try to fix those shadows as
they recede. ,rhave struggled a thousand times
in vain to particularise, and note down what I
saw in the strange city to which 1 was translated.
The memory glides Gorr my grasp with preterna-
tural evasiveness.
In a book called .The Man of Two Lives,' aim-,
filar sensations to these are made the basis of the'
story. Indeed, till I saw that book, the fear of
having my sanity suspected, sealed my lips on the
subject.
I have still a reserve in my confes4ons. I have
been conscious, since boyhood, of a mental pecu
liarity which I fear to name, while I doubt that it
is, possessed by others than myself—which I
should not allude to now, but that it forms a
strange link of identity between me arid another
being to be mentioned in this story.
I may say, also, without attaching any import
ance to it, except as it bears upon this same iden
tity, that, of those things which I had no occasion
to be taught, or which I did, as the common
phrase is, by intuition, drawing was the easiest
and most passionately followed of my boyish pur
suits.
With these preliminaries, and probably some
similar experience of his own, the ready may hap.
ly form a woof on which to embroider the follow
ing circumstances.
Travelling through Styria, some years since., I
chanced to have, for a fellow-occupant of the
coupo of a dilligence, a very courteous and well
bred persiin, a gentleman of Gratz. As we rolled
slowly along on the banks of Mutt., approaching
hls native town, he very kindly invited are to re
main with him a day or two, offering, as an in
ducement, a presentation at the soiree of a certain
lady of consequence, who was to receive, on the
night of our arrival, and at whose house I should
see some fair specimens of the beauty of Styria.
Accepted.
It was a lovely summer's night, when we stroll-,
ed through the principal' street, toward our gay
destination, and as I drew upon my friend's arm
to stop him, while the military band of tt e fortress
finished a delicious waltz, (they were playing in
the public square) he pointed out to me the spa
cious balconies of the countess' palace, whither
we were going, crowded with the well-dressed
company, listening silently to the same enchant
ing music. We entered, and after an interchange
of compliments with the hostess, I availed myself
of my friend's second introduction to take a stand
in one of the balconies beside the person I was
presented to, and under cover of her favor, to bear
out the unfinished music of the hand.
As the evening darkened, the lights gleamed out
from the illuminated rooms more brightly, and
most of the guests deserted the balconies and join.
ed the gayer circles within. The 1111.191 C ceased
at the beat of the drum. My companion in the
balcony was a very quiet young lady, and like
myself, she seemed subdued by the sweet harmo
mos we had listened to, and willing to remain
without the shadow' of the curtains. A tall lady
of very stately presence and with the re rains of
remarkable beauty, stop on the opposite side of
the balcony,and she too eemed to shrink from the
glare within, and cling o the dewy darkness of
the summer night.
After the cessation of the music there was no
longer an excuse for intermittent conversation,
and starting a subject which afforded ratheT freer
scope, I did my best to credit my friend's flattering
introduction. I bad diSC - oursed away for half an
hour very unreservedly, before I discovered that,

pressed•emotiollthe tall lady was earnestly 1.5,e1.-

Baroness with forced composure, 'when I tell you,

five years—seems present to me when you speak.'
I was silent, for I know not what to say. The
Baroness shaded hereyes with her hand, and sat
silent for a few moments, gazing at me.

again.

and waiting an instant tir‘my assent, dropped to

It was an hour After mul-night, when I re-en
tered my hotel. A chsseur stood sentry at the
door of my apartment with a letter in Lis hand.
He called me by name, gave me his missive, and
disappeared. It was from the Baroness, and ran
thus:
