TH E Sin of Ignorance is easily forgiven. Many of the "nostrums" of the present day are put out by persons who have no knowledge ofthe science of medi. cine in theory or practice, and in miler to hide their ig norance cry out loudly against the "Ignorant Pretend ers," end bribe others to boast for them, which oft times has gulled the unsuspecting, and for want of a proper knowledge of the diseases they pretend to cure, no doubt think they cure when they do not, therefore they are to be pitied, but not half so much as those who take their "miserable compounds," but they not only lose their money, but miss the advantage of that ne cessary advice which the real practical physician, is always able to give. We look to the tuilor for an im provement in the mode old i ess; to the medical man for an improvement in the science of medicine—and this accounts for the great superiority of Dr Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry over all other medicines ever offered to the public for the cure of all diseases of the Lungs and Breast, Coughs, Colds, Consumption, Asthma, Spitting Blood, Liver Corn plaint. Pain in the Side and Breast, Broken Constitu tion, &c. Remember always to inquire for the name of Dr. Swayne, as all preparations which have the name of Wild Cherry attached were stolen from the peat original preparation.

You can send the medicine by water to the care of Robert King & Sons, Knoxville county, Tennessee, or by land to Graham & Houston, Tazwell, East Tennessee. 1 have no doubt but if you hud agents in several coun• ties in East Tennessee, a great deal of medicine would be sold. lam going to take some of it home for my own use, and that of my friends, and should like to hear from you whether you would like an agent at Bluntville, Sullivan County, East Tennessee; I can get some of the merchants to act for you as I live near here.

We take the following beautiful extract from a Illa torical lecture by Judge Charlton of Georgia : "The earth teems with mysteries—the sky shines with them—they flora in the stir—they swim in the deep—they flash from the daik robed clouds—they whisper in the gentle tunes of the summer wind—. they speak in trumpet tongues, in the voice of the tempest and thl thunder. Cease thy longings for this ancient days, oh, dreamer. Close thy book and loqk about thee upon the volume of Nature. See there, fore thee, is a tiny insect that thou can scarce dig, tinguish from the grains of sand that surround watch it—it moves on with an energy and an instinct that enables it to overcome or avoid all obstacles.—i , See—it has seized some object larger then itself,—. and still it goes bravely on—nothing daunts it—noth. ing stops it—tread it under foot, (if thou tenet have the heart to attempt such a murder) and it will rise up again beneath the ocean of sand end turn once more to its labor. Dost thou know it? 1t is the ant, that lion-hearted ant, traing timid the heat of slimmer and though the season's brightness and its warmth ' are bringing up and producir g ten thousand enjoyments for the little traveller, lie is busy gathering together his provender for the long winter time, when frost and snow and cold shall have locked up the gratteries of nature. Thou wilt tell me, that I ant mocking thee. that thou canst see this daily and hourls; and is this a mys. wry therefore? If thou Isadst read in those ancient, legends before thee, of an insect so courageous, that it would attack an animal of ten thousand times its mag nitude; of industry so indefatigable, that it would climb house tops and mountains to pursue its course; of pee , severance so unflagging, that though repulsed a thole sand times, it would still return and overcome the ole stacks that impeded it—thy eye would have sparkled with interest and amazement; it is because it is con. Brandy before t h e—because it belongs to the preseni time—that thou lookest so disdainfully eponit. When did the knight errants of thy heart do half so much? Mier did their bosoms beat as high with valor and determination as this poor insect? 'But it has no loves —no horning jealousies—,no blood-stained victories!' How knowest thou that? 1 warrant thee, even that tiny breast has grown gentle for some fond one that lived within its little world; that its blood has flowed quicker when some Adonis ant has flirted around the little coquette; that its path has been stained by the trophies of its mimic battles. The potato is a native cf South America. and if still found wild in Chili, Peru, and Monte Video. In its native state, the root is small and bitter.

All Honor to the Potato.—Several of the Germsll States bro.° instituted feasts in honor of the introdue. tion of the potato; the anniversary of its importation has just been held as n jubilee in Bavaria; and in France a monument is about to be erected to Parmm ties, commemorating its introduction into that country. Drake, and not Raleigh, gets the honor in Germany' the first c•lonists sent out by Raleigh were dishearten. ed when Drake touched at Virginia, and be consented to take them home. Lane, the Governor, who is he. lieved to have taken the first tobacco, may, and proba bly did take the first potato; irks°, though indebted to the enterprise of Raleigh for the di-scovery. it ass Drake's ship that actually introduced the first root in. to Europe. An English writer remarks: "It is not a little pleasant to see how tho heart of nation.- is India. ing to many of those small whispers, which, uttered by the mere utilities, acre lung drowned in glamor of the trumpet and the drum.'" ideas beget Ideas.—ln the apes a of the 80l mists Girl there is a character called Devils-hoof; so Coo. per writes a novel and calls it So/ouster: therefore we intend writing a novel to be called Bretzehvbstail.
