VERY i mportant disease over which this 'Balsam' exets a very powerful influence, is that of a DIS EASED LIVER. In this complaint it has undoubtedly proved more efficacious than any remedy hitherto em ploVed, and in numerous instances when patients had endured long and severe sufferintfrom the disease; without'reeeivir g the leasf henefit from various reme dies, and when MERCURY has been resorted to in vain, the lige of this Balsam has restored the LIVER to it healthy action, and in many instances effected PERMANENT CURES, after every known remedy had failed to produce this effect. Besides its astonishineefficacy in the disease above mentioned, we also find it a very effectual remedy in ASTHMA, a complaint in which it has been extensive ly n=ed with decided success, even in eases of years standing. • It noi:ocly emanates from a regular Physician, but tuM also been' well tested in all the complaints for which it is recommended. It is not my intentiot , therefore, either to cloak it in mystery, or in any was deceive the politic by overrating its virtues; on the contrary, I shah simply endeavor to give a brief state ment of its u=ifulness, and flatter myself that its fur prising efficacy will enable the to furnish such pioofs of its virtues as will satisfy the most incredulous, that 'Ponsumption may and 'CAN• BE CURED,• if this medi• tine be resorted to in time.

Very (et! people know, what a blessing, beyond all description. a •baby-jumper' is. Perhapa a history of two weeks of my Ka may serve to exemplify, grese two facts. It was Monday morning; my hu;band was to leave home at a very early hour for a fortnight's visit to Washington. Over a hurried breakfast two hourskarlier than usual, we arranged many plans for the ensuing time of separation. lie gave me many comtnissioni to execute, and talked of many little things he would like to have done in his absence. I was to look' over and mend all possible articles of man's clothing ; to renew but tons and Stringt ; to sew up intiumerable b utton holes' that had becilute too large; to hem 'nine pocket.handketchiefe, and mark them with indeli ; ble ink ; and more than all, to put the fini.htng to six starts that were already in progress. I was to go to the utmost extremity of ate town to make inquiries (respecting one John Green. . •You eantiat be aware" said my husband, ;of the importance to me of finding out this man.— To a Man of business, wheti hurried, 'these little matters are troublesome the extreme; but. •if you tauld find it convenient to go up there, some Jay soon and find out if he is living, ii will be of great service to me.' I .Certainly,' replied 1, and added in My zeal, will , try to girth's afternoon.' • He departed, end Iwas left alone—alone with the•babyi Imust remark . that motives of econo my had ,a few days before, induced us to dismiss one servant. ' 1 had, therefore but one now. It was washing.day, and she, Of course was engaged in that operation. All other acts of household labour fell to my share, which I pet4rmed in haste, anxious to get Co work at mrsewing.— Whenever I approached.the staircases an upward floating scent of soap suds regaled me. After my active dutieslwere concluded,4 took my seat arid began to look over the different piles of cloth ing. sorting theni into smaller heaps, according to what they required. The baby crept round and round me. Before long I began to feel a twitch. ing at the legs and. arms of, the articles I held in my hands. Next they were forcibly drawn from me, and every attempt on my part' to regaio, pus session of them was the precursor of a sholi - and angry acre tin. With reluctance, for I was begin nine to feel interested in my tusk, I abandoned it, removed the clothing to another room, and, began to hem one of the hankerchiefs„ hoping vainly to retain it in • my own power. 'After an outburst - of rage at the sudden' disappearance of his new toys; the baby next attacked my work basket.— Spool after tpool felled to the farthest :corners; sewing -silk was entangled to a hopefesi - degree ; all my, marking cotton and a box or buttons emptied out of the window. In vain I scolded. Joh was said to be it patient man. I should like to linos. , if he was ever tried with 'a baby ten, months old. Meanwhile the morning passed Oa. It is useless to suite that I thd but little work. I beeame. very impatient, and putting away my sewing implements, I took a book and endeavored to read; a short timit, But the baby took a fancy to my book. To be sure, I had taken a fancy to it too. The contest was unequal ; the baby, as maid was the victor. He sat down an instant to turn over its leavei, and taking advantage it, my being absorbed in melaneholy reflections, convey ed it across the room arid droptn..d it into a wide. mouthed ,pitcher of water. , • 'You naughty, tittle monkey exclaimed I. Well for me if it had been a monkey. A mon key can he turned out of doors when you are tired • of 'him, or chained to a tree. Nut.so, alas! with a baby ten months old.) Much time was spent in drying the book, whose stiffened and shapeless binding is 'now before me, a memorial, in happier days, of my once dreary lot. My dinner watt mast frugal, my solitary servant could not wash and cook both ; hut simplicity of fare, I ahould not have regarded, if I had been able to retain my !seat fur three consecutive moments; but two tumblers, seized with a convulsive grasp and dashed to the ground, materially interfered with my comfort, and I fear with digestion. , In the afternoon, I put a clean white frock on IMO and took my' baby to the front - parlour win. dim, bill the blinds were so violently ..dashed to and fro, that I relinquished this station and re tired to the sofa. So .I spent my time. until. dark, dragging the baby away from what he should not touch, and by various knifings of keys, and othereimilar statsgerrie, and endeavoring to in duce him to relinquish' his bold upon my china ornaments. After tea, my evening was spent in putting him to sleep, and afterward* to bed; wither I silent myself, with a heavy heart. • Tuesday, being' iror.ing day. was buts repeti• lion of Monday. . I was again left alone With the Merciless baby.wbo, although unable to walk went all over the house, on all fours, with an agility which eluded Myfrequent grasp. It is ; needless to iejt, Mat violent and frequent ecreanis attended all my efforts tovithold anything whatevir from him. Reasoning! we may disregaid; persuasion May riot move our hardened hearts, but Who can Withstand the shrill screaming of . a baby ten months old 186 I gave up all attempts at every occupation but that. of amusing him: So ended my second weary day. . ..On Wednesday awoke with the feelings of a prisoner set free, thought I, .1 shall be able 'to make up for lost time. Eliza can spend much'el her time up stairs, and -lake r barge tit the . baby. Meam while I shall .do a. vast amount of 'levying.' I was mistaken. Elizs's various duties left her bjt tittle time to devote tm!the baby, and moreover, she was not bigtaste. He had found me always so eomplyinethat he washy no means disposed to moderate his claims. I was every mo ment interrupted with— , Ma'am, aill-you jusrstep here a moment. I do believe the baby ties' swallowed a pin.' •If you pima, ma'am, hi's turning everything out of the bureau drawers.' I found by sad experience thai it took my time, as well es Eliza s, to restrain the exuber ance of his mischievousness. I determined to go after John Green that affernoon,, but Eliza said 'She must io get her clothes.' What could Ido but submit. Thursday afternoon was "her after noon out.' So I continued a prisoner. The week passing on. Friday and Saturday it rained furiously, so thja errand was forsaken. On one of these days the baby fell off the bed; on'anotb er;rhe upset and broke a fine lamp. These acci dents materially interfered with my sewing. Sat urday night came, and when the baby was asleep, I sat down, wearied and sad, 16 reflect upon the events of the past week. My memory took. a hasty survey of it all—the hours I had spent in yielding up my avocations to the caprices of a baby;ten months old, and yet how was Ito do better There was the rub.' The child had top, idabundance, but they were of no - avail to Denise Lim, if- I- had a book or a piece of. work in my hand. Ey.rYthing is grist to the mill of a baby ten menthe Old. Half of my insband's absence-bad clasped, end what had I done? .The work was almost untouched. John Greee might be alive—he might be dead. And why had I not enquired! The baby--, How I 'envied the Indian Squaw, of whom I lad so often seen picture sauntering lazily across 'a meadoiv, the baby fastened in a sort of basket on her hack; or the ,Sandwich Island woman, whO kneads her bread on tile stones in peace, whilst the babyiis tied to.a stake, or a bush, or buried up to the:necksin h hole iii the mud: There waviest, there was; quiet foOlteie women—why was there none for me ? -I have not even had time to answer my husband's letter. iAnswer.itl I - have scarce ly been able to read it. Itbecarne,ilmost as soon as opened, the prey of the 'baby. Tears tilled my eyes--bitter tears of disappointment. • I look ed, down . upon my dress. - It bore the marks of greasy littlefingers. , My dejection increased. , Suddenly, a bright idea entered my head. - A baby jumper! Why should not I have a baby; jumper ! I hid often pissed and repassed that store in Chesnut streetin front of l'eale's Museum, where .baby•jumpers hang, without casting more thin a passing glance. Nevertheless, their, light and graceful form,: their mysterious construction, had made an impression on toe. The ro.sy•ebeek ed, cheerful dolls, that are placed in them in the window (apparently about ten months old) had caught toy cyd. The alluring thought quickly caused my tears to dry. A baby-jumper!better than a wicker basket. or a hole in the mud. And the expense! it would save itself (as tbe,saying is) in broken tumblete broken plates, deiholished . lamp 4 torn dresses, tumbles down stairs, and front the bed, and all the' innumerable evils, inseparable from the maintenance of :adiatiy ten months old, The prospect made Sunday a spurt' and happy day, although the baby upset a bucket of asues over himself and j a pot of boiling tea over me. I was too happy- to be under his-influence: any' longer. — , • . • Early nn Monday' morning, I astonished Eliza by imploring her- i tu defer' the washing for about an hour'and to lake charge of the baby meanwhile, as I was obliged to go ouf. In less than ati..boUr I returned a happy woman. • The baby-jumper soon arrived, atid was fastened to the ceiling. The baby wee placed in it. His delight was equal to mine. Fancy, now, the week of quiet enjoyment I passed. How different from the-last urea. dressed myself' neatly every day. • 1 hemmed the nine picket hankerchiels, ; . and marked them too.' I made all' the neres6ary. inqUiries _about John Green.% I wrote three letters to my husband; I finished the six shirts; I read every day without interruption ; whilst the baby swung to and fro,' and, nodded at me, and'clapped his hands for joy. The crimson and 'silver curds were a pretty con trast to his brown . hair. , ' . On Saturday, two days sooner than I expected him, I Welcomed my husband to his happy home, His surprise was g!eat to behold his son swinging from the ceiling, like a cocoon froti a maple tree!

The incident I am about to relate matinee some time after the passage of General Washington with his army across New Jersey, in the spring of 1777, The infamous crtielties'of the marauding parties of British soldiers, has awakened every feeling, of resentment, and aroused in every bosom an impta: cable hatred, which only the extermination of the inhuman monsters could allay. Taking advantage of the absence of their natural protectors, a party of demi-brutes under the com mand of Captain Smith, had committed outrages upinr the unprotected females, which would shame the very name of man. Every eble.bodied man, and many who were scarcely able. had flocked to the standard of Warm.
