Sacga, Mass., April 26, IBM.
William Wright, Esq.—Dear itir— , For many years
We have been the Salem agents,and also at one time
the county agents.for the sale of your valuable medi
cine, and during the whole of this timelve are not
aware that, in any one Instance, have the pills which
we have sold been complained of fs causing injury, or
not accomplishing their . proper -mission. It is dnubly
gratifying when we receive voluntary testimony from
a source where the medicine which is sold has been
the means ofdoing great good and ofsaving many lives.
Last year we sold three dozen bases to go to &for
eign porLand this day have received a letter from the
merchant who ordered them, giving an account of the
wonderful elects which they did in eating .1 large
number ofpersnns who were attacked with a prevail
ing epidemic similar to the yellow Jesse; while those
tinder the regular physicians' treatment. who were in
the Hospital, some three. hundred, including the
Governor, alagistrates,,ke., fell victims unite disease.
If you would likes copy of our ietter.we don't know
of any impropriety in giving it you, and perhaps it
would be of:tort/we to have it published. to:ether with
our names, as it is addr•-lsed to us. We will consult
the parties interested, and if you wish it, you will
please write Ile. Respectfully, yours,
W. & S. B. Ices.
The foltowint is the letteralluded to atiove:—
. itsvEstar, March 22, 1851.
Messrs. W. Fe. R. D lets. Merchants, Salem:—
Gentlemen—For some years - past 1 have adopted In
toy family, as a purgative. Dr. Wright's indian Vege
table Pills (for whom yon are his agents in Salem).
and have found that' medicine of great worth.
Last November we were visited by a kind of inflam
matorytever, (the same 1 presume which greatly af
flicted our neighbors, the Brazilians, fornearly a year)
the symptoms of which bad an analogy to the yellow
fever, and nearly three hundred persons fell victims to
the epidemic (a great number for a population as small
as ours.) Our doctois named it the true yellow fever,
but their skill was inefficient to stop its progress, con
fining their mode of treatment to the use of quinine,
and the application of leeches, forbidding the use of
purgatives. and of course all the soldiers and sailors,
who were obliged to be sent to the Hospitals, as also
the Governor. several Magistrates, several offieers,
and in fact all those who were reallyaillicted with the
disease, fell victims under their mode of treatment.
A month previous, 1 hail received three dozen boxes
of Dr. Wright's Pills, which 1 presume were bought
at your store by Mears. Goldsmith, Newcomb &
carless, merchants in your city, and with whom I am
doing toothless. 1 had the opportunity to administer
these Pills to several under my roof, who were afflict
ed-with the same fever, and two doses of eight Pills
each completely cured them of the complaint— if then
gave away nearly all my Pills to some twenty or thir
ty persons, and all were relieved as it were by en
chantment.
1 have, in, consequence. remitted to Messrs. Gold
smith, Newcomb and Fatless, the sum of forty dollars
for the putchase of that quantity, of this medicine. and
1 beg of 'you to deliver the Pill. as fresh as possible.
I request you also to desire Dr. Wright to have Its
directions translated in French, WI/1:11 will tend great
ly to circulate his Pill , ' not only here, hut also in the
othercolonies where thepopitlation is - more numerous:
Excuse 1111!. gentletuen, in the liberty I have taken
to address you this letter, whir h, for she sake of hu
manity, 1 have been compelled to do, a. I do not mean
to speculate on an article which proved salutary to a
number of poor people, and in fact most of tile popu
lation is reduced to aatatis of indigence, and it would
be sinful for any one to seek lucre in such a way.
Accept, gentlemen. the most respectful salutations
of your very obedient servant, A. Pullet Is.

Morning breaks above Ben Ventre—li! , the morn

And a hundred !guided warriors kneel in prayer
upon the sward,
And the songs of outlawed Christians rise in beau

Were no pomp of man's cathedrals, pillared shrine,
nor sounding aisle—
Here uo frescoed root; no sculptued stone, no gold
emblazoned pile,
But a towering cliff the altar, and the church a dim
defile.
Columned irom the rocks basaltic—towering higher
than man might climb—
Bate, and capital, and emehitmve, exi.tent from all
tune;
And the blue of heaven o'erarehing in a canopy
sublime.
And with flowers the aisles were tesselate—with
flowers and shining grass;
And the vines, festooned and (Impeded, dirooped
in many atwining mate;
And the gateway of this Mull* was a narrow
monntaimpass.
Cleft and hollowed from the rocky walls that cir
cled half the scene--
Steep and 'perilously de'cending, whilst a chasm
yawned between :
Feartul passway fpr the invader seemed ibis dan

For a score of men might battle here against
conntless host,
Scattering foes as waves are shivered on Lochcar•

Such a wild Therm:wire thi4 fiscally Seotia'.4 land
may boast.
Land and bold. and echoing grandly, swell the Co

And the vaulted caverns tremble as with clang of

Rolling, deepening, sinking, mimering—faint and

Till the lest thin note dissolveth in the valleydepths

Then a silenre, as of midnight, suddenly ereepeth
all around.
Vanished from the rocks and gorges who but now
had knelt in prayer—
Sire and child. and youth and maiden—gone, as if
enwrapped in air;
Gone and vanished from the temple—stalwart men
and women fair. •
Yet nor flying they nor tear•ome. Lo! around
that temp!e wide—
Hidden within the cloven caverns and the, beds of
torrents dried—
Stin they kneel and mutely worship in the craggy
mountain's side.
There is a class of people in the world
who deem an apology necessary for the in
dulgence in mirthfulness ! These are a set
of beings into whose souls no single ray of
sunshine ever entered, and who will live and
die and rot in darkness—despite the beauty'
and joy and happiness with which Nature
so profusely surrounds them.
It has always seemed to us, that the good
humor of life is a social kaleidescope, whose
hues and phases are as beautiful, as brilliant,
as varied, and as infinite as are the number
less tints of the rainbow. Its proper and
just appreciation renders its possessor alive
to all the most liberal influences of his day'
and generation—and enables him to look
upon human nature, in all its bearings, from
the very pinnacle of love, charity, and bene
ficence.
For the errors and folly of character, your
true humorist entertains a laughing, but
philosophical and kindly indulgence. He is
predisposed to tolerate the foibles of man
kind: for, he is thus inclined to love his spe
cies better—and his good-humor will prompt
him to dissect and make the bare, with judg
ment and precision, the moral differences be
tween men and acts.
JAMES W. lIEATON
41-If
Caricature simply portrays man's faults
and his eccentricities, for she sake of ridi
cule ; while honest humor presents to the
gaze only the man. Good-humor, in its gen
uineness, is a heaven-horn quality. It is
the very essence of the mind, for h origin
ates in the brain and the heart. It sympa
thises with our best nature: it enriches
where. it is felt: it looks tenderly and loving
ly on all the imperfections of life, and is ever
earnest in its affections.

True—it often turns our weakness and er
rors into temporary merriment; but never
willingly stabs, or. intentionally leaves a
War.
Dickens declares that it is something even
to look upon enjoyment so that it be free and
wild, and in the face of nature, though it
may be the enjoyment of an idiot. It is
something to know that heaven Vas left the
capacity of gladness in such a creature's
breast—it is something to be assured, that,
however lightly men may crush that facul
ty in their fellows, the great Creator of man
kind imparts it even to his despised and
slighted work. Who would not rather see a
poor idiot happy in the sunlight, than a wise
man pining in a darkened jail?
Ye men of gloom and austerity,. who
paint the face of Infinite Benevolence with nn
eternal frown, read in the everlasting book,
wide open to your view. the lesson it would
teach.. Its pictures are not- in the black and .
sombre hues, but bright and glowing tints
—its music, save when you drown it. is not
in sighs and groans, but cheerful sounds.—
Listen to the million voices in the summer
air, and find , one dismal as your own. Re.
member, if ye can, the sense of hope and
pleasure which every glad return of day
awakens in the breast of all your kind, who
have not changed their nature—and learn
some wisdom even from the witless, when
their hearts pre filled up, they know not
why, by all the mirth and happiness it brings.

HOW TO SPEAK IN PUBLIC.
When you mount the stand, be puzzled
where to put your hat. Look round, as
though you were quite cool and collected,
and suddenly put your hat upon the floor,—
Turn then to the audience, pass your. fingers
lightly and gracefully through your hair, and
,say " Fellow Citizens." extend your right
hand, put your left in your vest, on which
ever side it is your private opinion your
heart lies, swell out your chest as though all
the goddesses of liberty in the world had left
their respective countries, and had taken
board and lodging in your expansive bosom,
and were uow struggling to find their way
out at the front door. • Repress their gener
ous efforts for awhile, add - th en , out with
them in a blaze of glory. The'effect will be
tremendous.
07:7 FALLINT; IN LOVE. -A man falls into
love just as he falls down stairs. It is an ac
cident, perhaps, and very probably a misfor
tune, something which he neither intended,
foresaw, nor apprehended. But when he
runs in love, it is as when he runs in debt ;
it is done knowingly and intentionally, and,
very often, rashly and foolishly, even if not
ridiculously, miserably, and also ruinously.
In- hi AIRING a room, both the upper and
lower parts or the window should be opened,
as the bad heated air; which from its light
ness always ascends, will pass out of the
top, and the fresh cool air come in at the
bottom.

FRIENDSHIP
Lieut. Moh:gornery had seen much mili
tary service. However, the wars were over,
and he had nought to do; but lounge as best
he could through life on half pay. He was
nnq day taking-his ease at his tavern, when
he observed a stranger, evidently a foreign
er, gazing intently at him. The Lieuten
ant appeared not to notice the intrusion,
and shifted his position ; but the stranger
'shifted too, and still with unblanched gaze
stared. This was too much for Montgom
ery who rose and apprbached the scrutinizing
intruder:
" Do you know me, sit ?" asked the lieu
tenant. --.
" I think I do," answered the foreigner,
who was evidently a. Frenchman.
"Have we ever met before ?" confirmed
Montgomery.
I veill not swear to it, 4 kuid the stranger,
" but if we have—and I am almost sure we
have—you have a sabre cut, a deep one, on
your ri t wrist."
"I h e,"ened Montgomery, turning back
his sleeve, and displaying a very broad and
ugly scar.
" I didn't get this for nothing, for the
brave fellow who made a pteient of it I re
paid with' a gash across his skull."
The Frenchman bent down his head, par
ted his hair with his hand, and said, "You
may look at the receipt." •
The next moment they were in each oth
er's arms. They became bosom friends for
life.
COLLEGES.
Mr. Charles Astor Bristed, an American
gentleman, who, after graduating at Vale
College, went to England and entered - in
Trinity College, Cambridge, has lately pub
lished some interesting facts respecting the
differences between our own and the British
Colleges, standards of study, and other Mat
ters. He says that any one fitted for the
Sophomore class at Vale can easily pass the
examination necessary to obtain admission
Into Trinity ; but after entrance, the course
of study is very' much more severe in the
English than in the American college. The
expenses of a fellow commoner, at Trinity,
are not less than twenty-five hundred dollars
yearly, and - are more'apt to reach four thou
sand dollars. Very tew young men go up to
the English Universities until they are eigh
teen or nineteen years of age. The study of
the classics is carried to a perfection at Cam
bridge, but more especially at Oxford, which
can only be explained by this comparatively
mature age of the Collegians. Physical ex
ercise is regularly taken by English students,
as regularly, indeed, as the'meals of the
day ; no one thinks of devoting less than
two hours to it, and generally it is of the
most violent kind. The result is that a
healthier class of young men can be found
nowhere.
PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF SUNDAY
The Sabbath is God's special present to
the workingman, and one of its chief objects
is to prolong his life, and preserve efficient
his working tone. In the vital system it
acts like a compensation-pond ; it replenishes
the spirits, the elasticity, and vigor which
the last six days have drained away, and
supplies the force which is to fill the six
days succeeding: and in the economy of ex
istence, it answers the same purpose, as, in
the economy of income, is answered by a sa
vings' bank. The frugal man who puts
aside a pound to-day, and another pound next
month, and_ who, in a quiet way, is always
filming by his stated pound from time •to
time, when he grows old and frail, gets not
only the same pounds back again, but a
good many pounds beside. And the consci
entious man, who husbands one day of exis
tence every week—who, instead of allowing
the• Sabbath to be trampled and torn in the
hurry and scramble of life, treasures it de
voutly up—the Lord of the Sabbath keeps it
for him, and in the length of days and a hale
old age gives it back with usury. The
savings' bank of human existence is the
weekly Sabbath.—North British Review.
IVIARRIIIGE
Matriav,e is the mother of the world, says
Jeremy Taylor, and preserves kidgdotns, fills
cities and churches. Celibacy, like the fly in
the heart of an apple, dwells in perpetual
sweetness, but sits alone and is confined, and
dies in singularity: but marriage, like the
useful bee, builds a house, and gathers sweet
ness from every flower, and labors and unites
into societies and republics, and sends out
colonies, and fills the world with delicacies,
and obeys their King, keeps order, and exer
cises many virtues, and promotes the inter
ists of mankind, and in that state of things
for which God hath designed the present con
stitution of the world. Marriage has its la
bors of love and the delicacies of friendship,
the blessings of society and the union of
hands and' hearts. It has in it less of beauty,
but more of safety, than a single life: it is
more merry and more sad : it is fuller of joys
and fuller of sorrows: it lies under burdens,
but it is supported by all the strength of love
and charity, and these burdens arc delight
ful.
WAIFTER SCOTT'S LAST EFFORT
At an advanced period of life, Sir Walter
Scott, struck with misfortune, entered into
an engagement to liquidate, by his literary
exertiqns, a debt of one hundred and twenty=
eight lhouSand pounds. Scott staked his
character and reputation upon the fulfilment
of this last, engagement. He entered with
s characteristic ardor upon his task, andWilmid
the pressure of increasing age and infirmity,
never lost sight of his anticipated reward.
In seven years, Scott had paid all but one
sixth s of his enormous load of debt. The
prize was within view: independence seem
ed almost in his grasp : but he had overtaken
his strength, and disease, soon to be followed
by death, came, like, an armed man, and
closed the'
s superhuman struggle. 'When
will the andals of literature record such an
instance of heroic determination, under such
adverse circumstances, united to the highest
creative'genius. aud crowned with such mar
vellous results?
THE LOWER CLASSES
Who are they ? The toiling millions, the
laboring man and woman, the farnter, the
artisan, the inventor, the producer? Far
from it. These are nature's nobility. No
matter whether they are high or low in sta
tion, rich or poor in pelf, conspicuous or
humble in position, they are\ surely upper
circles in the order of nature, whatever the
fictitious distinctions of society, fashionable
or unfashionable, decree. 4t is not, /ow, it is
the highest duty,, privilege and pleasure, for
the great Man and the whole-sonled woman
to earn what they possess, to work their own
way through life, to be the architects ortheir
own fortunes. Some may rank the claSses
we have alluded to as only relatively low,
and, in fact, the mideling classes. We in.
sist they are absolutely the very highest.
It there he a class of human beings on earth
who may be properly denominated low, it is
that class who spend without earning, who
consume without producing, who dissipate
on the earnings of their fathers and relatives,
without being anything in.and of themselves.

FASHION OF THE DAY.
44 Well, Laura, give me a short sketch of
the sermon. Where was the text ?"
" Oh, I don't know. I have forgotten, but
would you believe it ? V., wore that ;
horrid bonnet of hers ! I couldn't keep my
eyes off it all meeting time ; and Mrs. T.
wore a new shawl that must have cost filty t
dollars. I woniler her folks do not see thei
lolly of such extravagance; diere was Miss',
S., with her pelisse—it is astonishing what!
want of taste some folks 'exhibit !"
•• Well, if you've forgotten the sermon
you have not the audience; but which preach
er did you preferthis one, or Mr. A. ?"
" Oh, Mr. A.; he is so handsome and sn
very graceful ; what an eye, and what a fine
set of teeth he has!"
J' EXCUSES FOR NOT GOING TO CRURCIR.--•
Overslept myself; ctutld not dress in tune;
too cold ; too hot; don't feel disposed ; no
other time tomyself; put my papers to right;
letters to write ; tied to business six days in
the week, no fresh air but on• Sundays, mean
to taken little necessary exercise; new bins
net not come home; don't like a liturgy al
ways praying for the same thing; don't like
extemporary prayer; don't like an organ. it
is too noisy ; don't like singing without in
strumental music—makes me nervous ; can't
bear a written sermon—too prosy : dislike an
extemporary sermon—too frothy; nobody to

Lr BUSINESS DiEcEsserty.—The experi
ence of all, demonstrates that a regular sys
tematic business is essential to the health,
happiness, contentment and 'usefulness, of ,
man. Without it, he, is uneasy, nasettled,
miserable and wretched. His aesires have
no fixed aim, his ambition no high and no-
We ends. Ile is the sport of visionary dreams
and idle fancies—a looker-on where all are
busy, a drone in the hive of Industry : a
moper - in the field of enterprise and labor.—
If such were the lot of the feeble and help
less only, it were less to be deplored ; but
it is oftener the doom and curse of those
who have the power to do without the will
.to act, and who need that quality which
makes .scr many 'others, but the want of.
which unmakes them—the quality of vigor
and resolution. flusineits..is the grand reg
ulator of life.
r_Q JOHN RANDOLPH.- , -JohnßandolphWas
a man of eccentric genius, and often, by the
quaintness of a sentence or a questiony ‘ left
upon his hearers an impression never to he
forgotten. It is related of him that at tone
time he took an old favorite negro servant of
his, upon one of the highest peaks of the
Blue Ridge. and, after becoming filled with
the sublimity of the, scene, he turned round
to his slave and addressed him thus—" Ho,
Bob !" The negro turned, toward his mas
tea. who added in a low solemn. tone, "Bob,
if any. one after this, says there is no God,
tell him John Randolph says he lies.".
3:7 WomAx.—Educate the female proper
ly, and she will educate the family when ar
rived at the period of ruling a household.
That idea or system of instruction which does
not encourage with an ardent care the edu
cation of woman, is radically defective. Ne
ver will instruction take deep root and spread,
if it does not reach the "children through
their mothers and the men through their
wives. The public teacher is but a dry in
strument that teachs the Alphabet; the mo
ther of the family on the contrary is a mo
ral power which fertilizes the mind, while at
the same time it opens the heart to love and
the soul to charity."
7AN EXPENSIVE FEMALE. Al 3 econo
mist the other day, observed a lady who car
ried one day's labor of two thousand men
upon her shoulders, and that of as many
more hangibg from her ears. There was
hot a limb id her body which did not call
for the-hard work of 'an entire day of one
hundred men or wometrz - and if it were
usual to adorn the person with gold, like a
Chinese pagoda, instead of silks and furs,
and textures of lace and wool, what was ei
pended on her dress would have plated. her
all over with the precious metal.
a CHAF.ACTERISTICS OF MANRIND.-The
Rev. Henry Giles thus designates the four
great characteristics which have distinguish
ed mankind :—" 'The Hebrew was mighty
by the power of faith—the Greek by the
knowledge of Art—the Roman by
.Arms—
but the might of the modern man is plaCed
in Work. This is shown by the peculiar
pride of each. The pride of ,the Hebrew was
in religion—the pride of the.rreek was
_in,
Wisdom—the" pride of the Roman was in
Power—the pride of the modern man is
placed in Wealth."
