The Song my Mother Sings.
It is the song my mother sings,
And gladly do I list the strain,
I never hear it but it brings
The wish to hear it sung again,
She breathed it to me long ago,
To lull me to my baby rest,
And as she murmured soil and low,
I slept in peace upoi her breast.
Oh, gentle song, thou half it throng
Of angel tones within the spell,
1 feel that I shall love thee long,
And fear I love thee far too well.
For though I turn to hear thee now,
With doting glance of warm delight,
In after years I know nut how
Thy plaintive notes may dim my sight
That mother's voice will then he still,
I hoar it fanner day by day—
It soundeth like a fountain rill
That trembles ere it ceases play.
And then this heart, thou gentle song,
Will find au anguish in thy spell,
'l\gill wish it could not love so long,
Or had not loved so well.
THE PULPIT
THE TRIUMPH OF CALVARY.
The following front the celebrated Welsh preach
er, CHRISTMAS EvAss, we consider one of the
finest passages of pulpit eloquence we have ever
read :
After the prophet of ancient times had' long ga
zed through the mists of futurity, at the sufferings
of Christ and the glory that should follow, a com
pany of them were gathered together on. the sum
mit
of Calvary. They saw a host of enemies as
cending the hill, arrayed for battle, and most ter
rific in their aspect. In the middle of the line was
the law of God, fiery and exceeding broad, and
working wrath. On the right wing was Beelze
hub with his troops of infemals ; and on the left,
Caiaphas with his Jewish priests, and Pilate with
his Roman soldiers. The rear was brought up by
Death, the last enemy. When the holy seers haul
espied this army, and perceived that it was draw
ing
nigh, they started back, anal prepared fur
flight. As they looked round, they saw the Son
of GM advancing with intrepid step, having his
face fixed on the hostile band. "Seest thou the
danger that is before the?" said one of the men of
God. "I will tread them in mine anger," he re
plied, "and trample them in my fairy." "Who
art thou 7" said the prophet. He answered:. "1
that speak in righteousness, mighty to save."—
"Wilt thou venture to battle alone ?" asked the
seer. The Son of God replied "I looked, and
there was none to help ; and I wondered there was
none to uphold; therefore mine own arm shall
bring salvation unto me ; and my fury it shall up
hold me." At what point wilt thou commence the
attack ?" inquired the anxious prophet. "1 will
first meet the Law," he replied, "and pass under
its curse : for lo ! I come to do thy will, 0 God.
When I shall have succeeded at the centre of the
line, the colors will turn in any favor." So saying
he moved forward. Instantly the thunderings of
Sinai were heard, and the whole band of prophets
quaked with terror. But he advanced, undaunted;
amid the gleaming lightnings. For a moment ho
was concealed from view; and the banner of wrath.
waved above in triumph. Suddenly the scene was
changed. A stream of blood poured forth from
iis wounded aide, and put out all the fires of Si
nai. The flag of peace was now• set n unfurled, and
consternation filled the ranks of his foes. Ile then
crushed, with his bruised heel, the old serpent's
head; and put all. the infernal powers to flight.—
With his iron rod lie dashed to pieces the enemies
on the left wing, like a potter's vessel. Death still
remained, who thought himself invincible, having
hitherto triumphed over all. Ile came forward,
brandishing his sting, which he had whetted on
Sinai's tables of stone. Ile darted it at the Con-.
qneror, but it turned down, and hung like the flex
ible lush of a whip. Dismayed, he retreated to
the grave, his palace, into which the Conqueror
pursued. In a dark corner of his den, he sat on
bin throne of mouldering skulls, and called upon
the worms, his hitherto faithful allies, to aid him
in the conflict; but they replied—" His flesh shall
see no corruption !" The scepter fell from his
hand. The Conqueror seized him bound him, and
condemned him to the lake of fire; and then rose
from the grave, followed by a band of released
captives, who. came• forth after his resurrection to
be witnesses of the victory which he-had won..
WHITFIELD.
Many people think this celebrated man was only
the orator of the mob. Such was Johnson's opin
ion, and it is one still current with many, who hate•
to believe that the man of taste can be charmed by
what pleases the million. But the idea is an erro
neous ono. Hume declared that he would go twen
ty miles on foot to hear Whitfield preach ; and in
his "chapel" might be seen the young Duke of
Grafton, not yet pierced by the arrows of Junius,
Charles Fox, William Pitt, and Sotune Jenyns,
John Newton, Cooper's friend, used to get up at
four in the morning to hen r the great Methodist
orator at five; and even at that early hour, he
mentions that the Moorfields were as full of lan
terns as the Hay-market of flambeaux on an op
era night. The following reminiscence of this fa.-
mous preacher is interesting; "His collections
for charitable purposes exceeded any which have
since been procurred by the most popular preach-
Ire. He once obtained, by a single sermon in be
::alf of an obscure village in Germany, the extra
,rdinary sum of six hundred pounds. It must be
,thuitted that upon that occasion he condescended
employ artifice to increase the subscription.—
Atter the conclusion of the sermon, he alluded to
•he intended collection in the following terms:—
We shaU sing a hymn, during which those who do
,t , t choose to give their mite, on this awful occit
,a may sneak off." Of course nobody moved;
when the singing was over, he directed all the
ors but ono to be closed, at which he took his
:non with the plate in his haul.—Yankee Blade.

THE GREAT CURE
OF Charles G. Johnson, of Bristol, who was
pronounced incurably fixed in the lust stage
of pulmonary consumption, by two skilful phy
sicians.
Mr. Johnson was rescued from death's door
by the use of Schneck's l'ulmonic Syrup—boo
ing been prostrated all winter. His case was
•witnessed by several of the moat respectable
citizens of this state, whose names are append
ed to his certificate. Read ! Read ! and be con
vinced that Schneck's Pulmonary Syrup is the
only certain cure for Consumption.
Bristol, Bud, county, Pa.
Sept. 21,1849.
. .3
DR. J. 11. SCIINECIC: —Dee) r,—l am induced
from a sense of justice towards you, as well as
duty to the public, to make known one of the
moat hopeless and extraordinary cures, in ray
own person, that you hove ever had the pleasure
to record. Indeed, I regret my inability to por
tray, in truthful colors, my consuming disease,
and the remarkable chance which Schneck's
Pulmonary Syrup effected in so short a time.
I was taken some time previous to December
1848, with a heavy cold, producing incessant
coughing, accompanied with acute pain in the
right side, pains in the back, under the right
shoulder, having heavy night sweats, high fevers
&c., which made me so nervous and restless as
to produce utter prostration. AII these afflictions
Increased with such violence, that on the 4th of
January last I sent for my family physician. He
attended me faithfully, and prescribed every thing I
that medical skill could suggest, but without ef
fect. I found myself gradually growing worse,
and my hopes of recovery lessening as my din
ease
increased. My cough became distressing ;
ni,!, pains severe; and, extremely debilitated, I
loaf all ambition in life, and gave up to a melan
choly depression. My physician examined me,
and informed me I had an obsess on the upper
part of my liver and lower part of one of my lungs.
Notwithstanding all thissk ill, I grew worse, but
with that tenacity with which we all cling to life,
I concluded to have nothing undone, and called
in a consulting physician, who fully concurred
with my own, and pronounced my case an ex
tremely critical one. lie thought I was in im
minent danger--saying my disease "was one the
is seldom if ever cured." All this time I was en
during sufferings that made life burdensome ; ex
periencing great pain in coughing ; ex pectoru
ting from a pint to a quart of nauccous matter
every 24 hours, and gradually sinking under the
weakning progress of my diocese. At this stage
of my i. Ines., my friends in Bristol suggested
the use of Schneck's Pulmonic Syrup, but know
tag the many expedients resorted to for the pur
pose of draining money from the afflicted, I hes
itated. My friends, however, insisting, I was
prevailed upon to try its virtues. I commenced
taking the Syrup about the first of March, and
used several bottles before I had any confidence
in it. I then began to experience a change for
the better, and continued it till I had consumed
ten bottles, when I was so far relieved as to be
able to visit Dr. Schneck in Philadelphia. He
examined me, and pronounced my right bung af
fected, but in a healing con.lition. He recom
mended the further use of the Syrup, which I
continued till I consumed 15 bottles, and found
myself once more restored to health. I will fur
Cher add,that the consulting physician, seeingthe
action of the medicine, fully approved its use
To give the reader some idea of the severity
of my case, and the rapid cure affected by the
Syrup, I will state that my usual weight in
health was 177 pounds, which was finally re.
duced by my sufierings to but 121 pounds. Yet,
on the first of this month, (September,) I weigh
ed 174 pounds, thus gaining in a few months 53
pounds, and within three pounds of my heaviest
weight. It is not in my power to convey ,
. in the
short space of this certificate, the convincing
proofs of my remarkable cure, or the particulars
of the agonizing afflictions through which I have
passed ; but to those who will take the trouble to
call on me, at Bristol, opposite Pratt'. hotel, I
shall take pleasure in detailing every particular.
In conclusion, I deem it nty duty to urge upon
every person who may have the premonitary
symptoms of this fatal disease, not to delay one
hour, but to call upon Dr Schneck immediately-
His skill in the treatment of this complaint, and
prompt detection of diseased parts of the lungs
by means of his Stethescope, added to any own
miraculous cure, fully setistictime, that had I car
eer submitted myself to his care, I should have
li-coped much suffering ; but restrained by doubts
and suspicion, which make us all naturally skep.
tient in regard to the virtues of a medicine when
first introduced. I resisted the importunities of
my friends till almost too late ; and yielded only
,as a last resort, resolved to " kill nr cure." To
those afflicted as I have been, again let me any,
hesitate no longer, my own case is presented to
you as convincing evidence, that when all else
fails your last hope is in Dr, Schneck'sPulmonic
Syrup. I have also for the satisfaction of those
who may be strangers to me., appended to this eel
tificate the names of gentlemen well known in
the walks of public and private life, and whose
standing in society admits of no cavil or doubt in
regard to their testimony.

"DAYTON, May 1, 1847.
"DR. A. M. MAURICEAU—My Dear Sir: ' The
Married Woman's Private Medical Companion,' for
which I enclosed one dollar to your addre.s, came
safely to hand. I would not have troubled you with•
theme few line., but that I am impelled by a some
of gratitude, for myself and wife, to give utterance
to our ciocere and heartfelt emotions..
"My wife has been perceptibly sinking for some
three years or more, in consequence of her great an
guish and suffering come months before and during
confinement; every successive one more and more
debilitated and prostrated her, putting her life in im
minent danger, and which was, on the lest occasion,
despaired of I supposed that this state of tbings was
inevitable, and resigned myself to meet the worst.
At this time (now about two months) I heard your
book highly spoken of, as containing some matters
reaching my case. On its receipt and perusal, I can
not express to you the relief it aurded my distressed
mind and the joy its pages imparted to my wife, on
learning that the great discovery of M. M. Deso.
meaux provided a remedy. It opened a prospect to
me which I little conceived was possible. No pecu
niary consideration can ever repay the obligations I
am under to you for having been the means of im.
petting to us the matters contained in' The Married .
Woman's Private Medical Companion. But for
this, ere another year would have passed over my
head, in all human probability my wife would have
been in her grave, and my children left motherless."

Competence and Health.
"LANCASTER, PA, Oct. 44, 1947.
MY DEAR SIR: I know you will have the kind.

the obligations we feel nureelvee under to you in h.
ing made known certain matters, contained in your
most invaluable Married Woman's Private Medical
Companion.' It has been worth its weight in gold
to me. If I express myself rather warmly, you wilt
see that I can not do so too warmly, when I inform
you of the extent to which I have, through it, been.
benefited. I will state my situation when I obtained
your book through the merest curiosity I look upon
it as one of the most fortunate events of my life. I
had been married some ten years, and was the father
of seven children. I wan long straggling unceasingly
to the end that I might gain a moderate competency,
but the results or ray utmost exertions at the end left
ale about where I wee at the beginning of each year;
and that only, with the most stinted economy, suffi
cing with barely the neceseariee of life. Finally, this
constant effort was beginning to have its effect upon
my health I felt lees capable to endure its comm.
ance, while I felt the necessity of perseverance.
" This constant, unceasing struggle on my part was
imperative, in cenammence of the prostrated condi
tion of my wife (with occasional intermission) for six
years, much of the time confined to her bed, and of
course incapable of biking the charge nod manage
ment of household affairs. Her condition arose from
ceases of which I was ignorant. Oh I what would

How many are suffering from obstruction or irreg

medical advice! How many suffer from prolapses
