CELEBRATED VEGITABLE PILLS.
These Pills are no longer among those
of doubtful utility. They have passed
away from the hundreds that are daily
launched upon the tide of experiment, and
now stand before the public as high iu rep
utation, and as exteusively employW in
all part.; of the U. States, the Canadas,
Texas, Mexico, and the west Indies, as
any medicine that has ever been prepared
for the relief of suffering man. They have
been introduced whereverit has been found
possible to carry them; and there are but
few towns that do not contain some re•
markable evidences of their good effects.
The certificates Oita have been presented
to the proprietor exceeds twenty thousand
upwards of five huudred of which are
from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of the
merits.
Often have the cures performed by this
medicine been the subject of editorial
comment, in various newspapers and jour
nals; and it may with truth be asserted,
that. no medicine of the kind has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value than
are attached to this.
They are in general use as a family
medicine and dare are thousands of fami
lies who declare they are never satisfied
unless they have a supply always on hand.
They have no rival in curing and pre
venting Bilious Fevers, Fever and Ague,

where a cathartic or aperient is needed.
They are exceedingly mild in their opera

debility.

Justice and Charity.
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCD Dl 7 NA.
THAINIEL GUEENE
Duty extends to all beings; for all have
their place in the universe; all discharge,
according to the will of the ;Supreme
Wisdom, functions which it is forbidden
o disturb; and all have a right to the en
joyment of the divine gift. To destroy
one single being by mere caprice, or to iu
tlict ou him needless suffering, is a wrong,
an act opposed to the laws of order.
Respect God in the least of his works,
and let your love, like his, embrace all
that live and breathe.
lf, by giving intelligence to man, he
has made him the lord of creation, He has
nut willed that he should be its tyrant.
His eye which nothing escapes, has also ,
a paternal regard for the poor sparrow
palpitating under yoar hand.
Without duty no society is possible,
for without it there can be no relations
between men. As you hare seen, it com
prises justice and charity.
Nut to do to others that which you
would desire others to do to you, is pis
lice .
To do ',unto others, on all occasions, as
you would have them do to lyou, is chari-
A man lived by his labor,—himself, his
wife, and his little ones, and as he had
good health and strong arms, and easily
found employment, he met with no great
difficulty in providing subsistence for him
self and those who were dear to him.
But it happened that the country ex
perienced great commercial and financial
difficulties, and the dematid of labor di
minished because it could be no longer
be profitly employed, and meanwhile the
necessaries of life increased price.
The laborer and his family began to
suffer. Having exhausted his moderate
savings, he was compelled first to sell his
furniture piece by piece, and the articles
of clothing, End when all had thus gone,
having no other resources hunger stared
him in the face. Nor did hunger enter
his cottage unattended: sickness came
with it.
Now this man had two neighbors, the
one very rich, the other less so.
Ile went to the first and said—We are
in want of the necessaries of life, myself,
my wife and tny,children: have pity on
us.
Tne rich man replied. What can I do
in the case? 11'hen you labored for me,
did I either refuse or defer payment? 1
have never wronged you nor any one: my
hands are pure from all iniquity. Your
sufferings afflict MC, but every one must
look out for himself in thesl hard times;
who knows how long they may last?
The poor father answered nut, but, with
an aching heart, was slowly returning to
his desolate home, when he met his other
neighbor who was less rich.
The latter seeing that he was pensive
and sad, thus accosted him. What is the
matter you? 'I here are cares upon your
brow, and tears in your eyes.
The father with a faultering voice, ex•
plained to him his unhappy Atuation.
When he had finished. Why said the
other to him, do you grieve so much for
this? Are we not brothers? And how
can I abandon my brother in distress?
Come and share with me that which 1
hold from the goodness of God.
The suffering family was thus,sustain•
ed until they could themselves provide
for their own wants.
After several years passed the two rich
men appeared together before the sover
eign Judge of human actions.
And the Judge said to the first. My
eye has followed thee on the earth; thou
hest abstained from injuring others, from
violating their rights; thou hest rigorous
ly fulfilled the strict law of justice; but,
in fulfilling it, thou hest lived only for
thyself, thy impenetrable soul has not coin
prehended the law of love. And now, in
this new world where thou enterest poor
and naked, it should be dime to thee as
thou halt done to others. Thou hest re.
I served fur thyself all the goods that have
been lavished on thee; thou hest given
nothing to thy brothers; neither shall any
be given to thee. Thou hest thought but
of thyself, thou hest loved but thyself; go
and in some solitude live ofrthyself.
Then, turning :toward the second, the
Judge said to him. Because thou hest not
been just alone, but charity has penetra
ted thy heart; because thy has been
open to scatter among thy less happy
breathers the wealth of which thou wert
the depositary, that the tears of them
that wept might be wiped away—greater
good shall be given to thee. Go and re
ceive the recompense of them that have
fully accomplished their duty, the law of
justice and the law of love.
Friendship is a dangerous word for
young ladies; it is love full fledged; and
waiting a fine day to fly.
[WHOLE No. 217,
A Venerable Patriot ,
In the report of the (N. Y. Herald's)
proceedings of the Whig national Con
vention, we find the following admirable
address from an aged patriot, who bid
ding defiance to storm and weather, a
midst the infirmities of old age, made his
way f .he capitol of our State, reckless of
all consequences that might ensue or be
tel him. Ile was a Democrat of '9B, and
is a hig of '39! Ile is now an admi
rer of Henry Clay, and a faithful advo
cate of Gen Harrison. F.nm a long and
intimate acquaintance with Van Buren,
he knows him thoroughly, and strongly
depicts him as a public plunderer and a
political tyrant! We have read a vast
deal in our time, but we never remember
t I
ave perused so touching and beautiful
a sketch as this of the venerable Livings
ton. Good old man how we venerate
thy virtues! how we esteem and admire
thy aged patriotism—honesty crowned
with the glorious diadem of grey hairs;
eloquence made more eloquent by the
force of virtue. When such men step for
ward to breast the torrent of corruption,
there can no longer be a doubt but the
Republic is safe—that corruption is out of
fashion—that political tyrant' is about to
receive its death I.low, and that public
plunderers are coming to their final fpun
inshment the retribution of the people;
the just vengeance of the law!
He says, know_ Harrison well—my
native State will go for him.'
know Vau Buren well—he will make
slaves of you unless you arrest the march
of Executive usurpation!'
NVith a beautiful simplicity:A Spartan
brevity, and an attic seasoning; he de
scribes every thing by a single touch of
the pencil. Honor and gratitude, we say
' to Peter R. Livingston of N York.
The Hon Peter R. Livingston, of N. Y
was called for from all parts of the house
' Mr. L. came forward, trembling with the
infirmities of ago, and embarrassed by the
flattering testimonials of respect and af
fection with which he was greeted.
Mr. President, said he, my voice is very
feeble, and 1 must beg your indulgence if
I am unable to make myself heard.—
Where am I? In Harrisburg, Pennsyl
vania. What brought me here? Love of
country—en ardent desire to see the pow
ers that be prostrated, and a sincere be
lief that every honest man is bound to
coutribute his exertions to produce this
result. lam a very old man, Mr. Presi
dent, and nothing but the perilous situation
of my country could have drawn me from
home at this iuclement season. I was a
democrat of 'OB, and have been always in
the harness, and we must bring the gov•
ernment back to the simplicity of that
dav, or the republic is lost. It is not for
me to speak of that splendid statesman,
Henry Clay, I envy Kentucky. She
will have his ashes, and the country wilt
have his fame. I know Harrison well.
In the compliments that have been paid
to him here, every thing is true—nothing
is over colored, or falsely depicted. I
know his patriotic attachment to his coun
try, his ardent love of freedom. My na
tive State will go with him; and I strong.
ly indulge the belief that the Keystone
will yet be found the arch of the republic.
I should like to draw the character of
Van Buren, for I know him well, but my
health will not permit. I should have
not one word to say in his favor, and it
would require hours to delineate his vices.
He has robbed you of your money, and he
will eventually make slaves of you all, un
less you arrest the march of executive
usurpation. Rotation is every thing.—
The great Franklin said that when repel).
tics got radically wrong, they will get ra
dically right. We are now radically
wrong—set us right—overturn this cor
rupt dynasty, and I shall go down to the
grave in peace.
