    From the Rainbow.
LOVE.
Tore lurks under smiles—yea oft under frowns,
Very oft ender raga—sometimes under "gowns"—
The Parson, the Doctor, the Lawyer, the Judge,
(Though would you believe them—tia all a mere
fudge)
Submit to love's away and acknowledge its power•—
.luat see how they long for that sweet happy hour,
When freed from the cares and turmoil of life
They fly to the arms of a dear loving wife
The'ra'rmer returning with labour oppressed
Thinks none can be happy—none can be blessed,
Without a dear partner to share in his toil—
She 'tends to the household, and he to the soil.
Mechanics and labourers of every degree,
Though different their callings, in this all agree,
That love is the main-spring—observe how they
grieve
If they lore a false daughter of old mother Eve—
False did I nay? I only meant "fickle"—
l'or al, the dear vex when they •get in a pickle"
And find they have injured thenisekes and their
swam,
HOW soon they relent, and restore pima gain!
The poet too labours, for whatt The sweet hour
When fame is secured, to yield to love's power
And fondly indulge in the heart-thrilling strife,
Shall he love the dearest or shall a loved wife!
"But what has all this," perhaps you will say,
"To do with the S&Ls you are holding to day'!"
Why—Husbands and beaux, we wish you to prove
Your kindness, by buying for your "Lady-love"
Some trinket or trifle—don't question the price,
Be only assured, that the article's "nice.'
And Ladies, sweet Sisters, to you we appeal-- i
Let gentlemen know, you have hearts that do feel. '
For the truth must be told--the "Trustees" of our
Church
Unless you assist will be left in the lurch.
The "House" is unfinished, and cash they hate
none—
They have borrowed and beg'd till credit is gone.
But they know where to go, when harrassed and
grieved,
To woman--fond woman who never deceived!
Then fly to the rescue--your money, in brief,
Quite aa much as your smiles, will bring them relief.
Burying Alive.
There can be little doubt that burying
alive is much more frequent than the world
suppose, or has and inclination to believe.—
There are conditions of suspended life so
closely resembling death, and of such long
continuance, as to deceive the physician,
and, induce sepulture. The late eminent
and most worthy Philip Theldridge was
within an ace of meeting the dreadful fate of
being buried alive, and what made it worse,
with a perfect sonsciousness of all that was
passing. He was supposed to be dead, hav
ing fallen into a state exactly resembling
death, so far as the body is concerned His
pulse and respiration ceased, his limbs be
came rigid, his face assumed the sharp out
line characteristic of death, and he remained
in this condition until the family, physicians
and friends (all but one !) supposed that his
spirit had passed. That one was Mrs. Dod
dridge ; her love refused to despair, and she
continued to use remedy after remedy to re
store animation. Finally she procured a
spoonful of brandy (a case of breach of tee
totalism which we think Father Mathew
himself would excuse) and the powerful
stimulant almost immediately dissolved the
trance, and restored Mr. Doddridge to the
command of his limbs, and to many years of
distinguished usefulness. But for it, he
had in all twobability been buried alive; for
t irroUgicir hrs ß itta v iMae. an fi e used l T4l
- with thrilling effect, his sensations du •
ring the time of his supposed death. He
could not stir a little finger to give notice of
being alive, but his sense of hearing re.
mained perfect, and his mind collected. We
heard the fact of his being dead announced,
and the outburst of grief that followed, the
directions for shrouding him, and the useful
preparations in the chamber of death ! Des
perate, but vain asdesperate, were his ants
to give some token c f life—nnt a muscle
could he move. Even despair, and the im
mediate presence of a fate more appalling
probably to the conscious than Hell itself,
could not rouse his dormant body to perform
the slightest of its functi ins. At last lie
heard MIT. Doddridge call for the brandy,
with a delight and rapture of love for ber
which the horrors of his situation may easily
explain. He felt that he was sat ed, end he
was saved. He himself wittily said, that
it was as little as the brandy could do to ac
complish his resurection, as it had produced
his living death !
N,Vlien we reflect, that of the buried, the
coffin of probably not one in many millions
is afterwards examined, and that yet among
these few, several instances have occurred
in which it wasobvious (as fram the deceased
having turned on his side) that the dead had
been buried too soon, we cannot well reject
the horrible conclusion that the occurrence
is not so rare as our shuddering natures
would desire it. An examination of the cat
acombs of Paris, some years ago, (where
the dead are stowed away in open boxes, or
simply deposited in the vault,) led to the
discovery that some had turned over on their
sides, and others hail quit their Id ices and
died at a distance in the agcnies of famine,
having knawed away their only flesh.
The following authenticated and affecting
story has suggested these•refkctions:
"'ln the year 1810, a case of living in
humation happened in France, attended
with circumstances which go far to war
rant the assertion that truth is. indeed,
stranger than fiction. The heorine of the
story was Madamniselle Lafouseade,
young girl of illustrious family, of wealth
end of great personal beauty. Among
her numerous suitors was Julien Bosuet,
a poor literateur, or journalist, of Paris.
Ilia talents and general amiability had re
commended him to the notice of the heir-
Pos, by whom he seemed to have been
truly beloved ; but her pride of birth de
cided her, finally, to reject him, and to
wed a Monsieur Renelle, a banker and a
diplomatist of some eminence. After
marriage, however, this gentleman ne
glected, and, perhaps, more positively
treated her. !Living passed with him
some wretched years, she died,—at least
her condition so closely resembled death
that she deceived every one uls , i saw
her. She was buried--not in a vault—hut
in an ordinary grave in the village of her
nativity. Filled with despair and still in
flamed the memory of a profound at
' tachment, the lover journeys from the cap
itrl to the remote province in which the
village lies, with the romantic purpose of
disinterring the corpse, and possessing
himself of its lusotianl tresses. It
►racb.'s the grave, kt midnight he on-
earths the coffin, opens it, and is hi the act
of detaching the hair, when he is arrested
by the unclosing of the beloved eyes. In
fact the lady had been buried alive. Vi
tality had not altogether departed ; and
she was aroused by the caresses of her
lover, from the lethargy which had been
mistaken for death. Ile bole her franti
cally to his lodging in the village. Ile'
employed certain powerful restoratives
suggested by no little medical learning;
in fine, she revived. She recognized her
preserver. She remained with him until
by slow degrees, she fully recovered her
original health. Iler woman's heart was
tint adamant and the last lesson of love
sufficed to soften it. She returned no
more to her husband, but concealing from
hint her resurrection, fled with Boseut to
America. Twenty years afterwards, the
two returned to France in the persuasion
that time had so greatly altered the lady's
appearance that her friends would be un
able to recognize her. They were mis
taken, however, for at the first meeting,
Monsieur Renelle did actually recognize
and make claim to his wife. The claim
she resisted ; and a judicial tribunal sus
tained her in her resistance ; deciding that
the peculitr circumstances, with the long
lapse of years, had extinguished not only
equitably but legally the authority of the
husband."

TO SENSIBLE CITIZENS -We know

Indy is, in its organs and functions. subject
to derangement, Inducing pam, and tending
to its destruction. in this disordered state,
we observe nature providing for the re-es
tablishment of order, by exciting some salu
tary evacuation of the morbific matter, (why
some other operation, which escapes our
imperfect senses and researches. In some
cases she brings on a et isis by the bowels, in
others by sweating, &c. &c.
Now experience has taught us that there
are certain snbstances,ty which, applied to
the living body, internally or externally, we
eats at will produce the same evacuations,
and thus do its a short time, what nature
could do but slowly, and do effectually what
she might not have strength 40 accomplish.
When then we have seen a disease cured by
a certain natu red evacuation, should that (Hs

it by the use of such substances, as we know
bring about the same evacuation, which we
had before observed to cure. a similar disease.
It is in eousequenee of the power which
the Brandeeth Pills exert upon the whsle
system, that makes them so universally ben

REMARKABLE CURES.
Of all the cures that have yet . been record•
ed, there are certainly none equal to the.
b: law mentioned, and they plainly show:,
the curability a Consumption, even nl
some of its worst forms : .
Let every man, woman and child read the
following, and we are sure that it must satis
fy all of the great virtues of the medicine.
a?' Read the following from Dr. Jacob,
Hoffman , a physician of extensive practice in'
Huntingdon county
Dear Sir:-1 procured one bottle of Dr:
Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, front
Thoraas Read, Esq. of this place, anti tried
in . in a case of obstinate Asthma on a child of
Paul Schweble, in which many other reme
dies had been tried without any . relief. The
Balsam, gave sudden relief, and in my opin
ov the child is effectuelly cured by its use.
Yours, &c.

The case of Thomas Cozens is related bf
himself as follows, and acknowledged by
all who knew him to be one of the most
estomshing and extraordhlarY cures ever
performed :
HADDONFIELD, N. J.
April 20, 1843.
On or about the 13th of October, 1841,
was taken with a violent pain in the side
near the Liver, which continued about live
days, and was followed by the breaking of
an deer, or something inwardly, which re
lieved the pain a little, but caused me to
throw up a great quantity of offensive mat
ter and also much blood. Being . greatly
alermed at this I applied to a physician, who
said he thought he could do but little for
me except give me some mercury pill s
which 1 refused to take feeling satisiiid that
they could do me no good ; many other re
medies were then procured by my wife and
friends but none did me any good and the
discharge of blood rod putrid corruption
still continued every few days, and at the last
it Ircame so offensive that I could scarcely
breathe. I was slso seized with a violent
c eigli,which at timescaused me to raise much
more blood than I had formerly done, and
my disease continued in this way until Feb
ruary, when all hopes of my recovery were
given rrp, and my friends all thought that I
would die Of a ganoping consumption. At
this moment when my life apparently was
drawing near to its close, I heard of IVistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry and got a bottle
which relieved me immediately, and by the
Use of only three bottles of this medicine,'
all my pains were removed, and my cou g h
and spitting of Wood removed, and in a few
days my health was to far restored as to en
able me to work at my trade (which is that
of a carpenter) and tip to this time I have
enioyed good health.
