A VERY important disease over which this 'Balsam' rA casts a very powerful influence. is that of a EASED LIVER. In this complaint it has undoubtedly proved more efficacious than any remedy hitherto . ployed, and in numerous instances when patients had 'endured long and severe suffering from the disease, without reeeivir g the, leaA benefit from various reme dies, and when MERCURY has been resorted tn. in 'vain, the use of this Balsam has restored the LIVER to a healthy action, and in many instances effeMed PERMANENT CURES, after every known remedy had failed to produce this effect. Besides its astonishing efficacy in the disease above mentioned, we also tind it a very effectual remedy in ASTHMA, a complaint in which it has been extensive ly used with decided success, even in cases of years standing. It not orly emanated from a regular Physician, hut has also been well tested in all the complaints for which it is recommended. It is not my intention, therefore, either to cloak it in mystery, or in any way deceive the public by sverrating its virtueS;•on the contrary, I shall simply endeavor to give a - brief state ment of its usefulness, and flatter myself that its sur prising efficacy will.enatile me to furnish such proofs of its virtues as will satisfy the most incredulous, that Consumption may and 'CAN BE CURED,' if this medi cine be resorted to in time.

The all glorious archlof heaven was a. mass (I - sparkling stars. Greyling slept, and I, wearied of the cold phil osophy of the Latin poets, took to my " Book of Martyrs." • It was a description in the harrowing faithful: nesS of the language of olden times, painting, al most the articulate groans of an impaled Christian. The walnut faggots had burnt to a bed of bright coals, and I sat gazing into it, tOtally t ,unable to shake off the fearful incubus from my breast.— The martyr was there—on the very hearth—with the stakes scornfully dossed in his body ; and, as the large cords cracked asunder and revealed the hrightuess within, I seemed to follow the nerve. rending instrument tram hip to shoulder, anti:suf fer with himipanal for "pang, as if tho burning red 7 nes were the pools dills. fevered blood. • a, Abe!" , , , , It struck on the earflike the cry of an exulting fiend. • i I shrunk into the chair as the awful cry was re peated. and tooked sloWly and with difficult cuur. age over My shoulder.( A single fierce eve was fixed upon me from the mass of hed clothes, and, for a moment, the relit4f from the fear of some su permktOral presence - was like water to a parched tapir.. I smolt bark relieved into the chair. l'here was a rustling immediately in the bed, and starting again, I found the wild eyes of ruy Went fixed:steadfastly t.pon me. He was.creeP= ingfeleadily out of bed : his bare foot touched the fluor, and•his toes worked upon it. us if he were feeling his streAtb, and, in a , moment, he - slood upright on his feet, and with his head forward and his pale face livid with .rase, stepped towards me. I looked to the door, he observed the glance, and in !the next instant he sprang over the bed, termed the key, and dashed it furiously through the wine dow. - '" Now," said he.

His knee was upon my breast, and till; left hand in my hair, and he seemed by the tremufousness of his clutch to he he,iiiating whether he shOuld dash out my brains on th:a hearth. I could scarce breathe with his weight upon my chest, but tried with the broken 'w ords I could command, to 'Move his pity. He laughed as only a maniac can. - and placed his ham.l. on my throat.

The autitlivittion of employ. ments in ;Birmingham is very remarkable. “There are very few largo fectorlie,'peoperly'so called, in which an article goes through the entire range of manufacturing processes; but there, is a vast num ber of workshops , more or less extensive, in each of whfet."poitiona of the worm` are done. ,One niabufactuled article, which is sold retell fcly a penny. may go through twenty workshops before it is finished; some having forty orfifty workmen. some four or five. while - some Are simply the gar ret; of Workinen who ply their trade - by-Weir o % ll ' fireside.

The Mexican travellers taking the matter in another way, never carry arms, but prepare a small purse 'to robbed ,of,' of which ,they are robbed accordingly.- A few miles from Perote the road_Winds ardund a hill, and the •passengers generally get out,and Walk. The Americans on this occasion had left. their arms in the carriage, hut their more prilderitchief immediately 'ordered -thern.in carry them in their hands, and in the course of the ascent they pounced upon a group of ruffians whom the driver pronounced to be rubbers; and who, but for their arms, would pro bably have attacked them. •In less thiln a month after this, five or six Amer icans having left their arms in the stage at . this spot, were attacked and stripped of every cent belonging to,them. •It must be owned that this country has' fine ad vantages for the gentleman of the road. The highway between Vera Crux and Mexico is . :• the gat conduit of life in this country. Nearly all the commerce goes by that way, and ninety out of every' hundred travellers pass by the Same route.
