MISCELLANEOITSADVIRTISEMENTi
Scrofula, or King's Evil,
is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is callously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dig
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, end,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto tho third and fourth generation ;" indeed,
it seems to bo the rod of Him who says, "I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children."
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or soros. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of hfe, so that scrofulous constitu
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint n the
system. Most of the consumption which de
cimates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination ; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organ., arise from or
aro aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people arc scrofulous ;
their persona are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their• health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such n medicine we supply in

THE VOICELESS,
BY 0. W. TIOLNIES.
We count the broken lyres that rest
Where the sweet wailing singers slumber,—
But o'cr their hilent sister's breast
The wild flowers who will stoop to number I
A few eon touch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them
Alas for those that never sing,
But die with all their music in them I
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone
Whose song has told their heart's sad story:
Weep for the voiceless, who have known
The cross without the crown of glory
Not where Leucadian breezes sweep
O'er Sappho's memory haunted billow,
But where the glistening night-dews weep
On nameless sorrow's church yard pillow.
Oh hearts that break and give no sign
Save whitening lip and fading tresses,
Till Death pours out his cordial wine
Slow•dropped from Misery's crushing r reuses,
It' singaig breath or echoing chord
To every hidden pang were given,
What endless melodies were poured
As sad as earth, as sweet as heaven

Tile tuner evening, as-1 was returning

here bv relate.
I was passing on ordinary looking

The head of the maiden uttering this

possessed of unusual beauty.

THE MASON'S LAST REQUEST.
It :vas a very hot day to the summer of
1778. The British Ger.eral, Clinton, with
a formidable army, was hastening across
the sandy plains of New Jersey, to join the
forces of General Howe at Sandy Hook.
And Washington, with nn army once more
regenerated into life, determined, if it lay
within the bounds of possibility, to prevent
that junction, and to effect hit purpose,
sent on a large detachment of light troops
under General Lee, to harass their arm
ments and retard their progress until he
could come up with his solo force and
effect their rapture or destructO.
The Briiish were overtaken by Lee,
whom I have more than once said, and
now repeat it, only needed Arnold's temp•
tattoos and Arnold's wrongs to have been
all or more a traitor l than was the latter.—
Thu will was ‘I him, but opportunity did
not serve.
But to !Morn to my story. As soon as
the American sharp shooters, in the van of
Lee's division begun to annoy the British,
the latter drew up in order of battle and
prepnred for detnice. The Americans
lividly pushed on, and n here driving all
before them, when to their utter astonish
ment, and tot he deep mortification of their
gallant officers, who were flushed with the
hope of a victory ~boost in the& hands,
Gen. Lee ordered e retreat.
Shame mantled many a brow then and
there, and in spit. , of discipline, angry
words broke from many a lip ; for then
as now, the word retreat fell strangelx,
dye, most harshly. upon an American ear.
But the order had been given by him who
had commanded and he must be obeyed.
Yet so angry and unwilling were those
who had fell back, that they did not pre.

that he whom I shall call Major Carroll,
who was leading his baitallion on, himself
on foot (two horses then had gone down um
der him that dny,) and to whom l just al
lulled, saw a British officer fall, who had
with heroic gallantry, striven to stem the
changing tide.
Though wounded and down, the brave
officer still struggled, and drawing a pis
tol, disabled a man whose bayonet was at
his breast. Major Carroll'a sword was
raised above his hand, Lit quickly a sign,
a word, and the "widow's son " was safe,
for the sword that woula have slain, was
now a shield—the foe whose arm had just
been rni,cl was now n brother, whose ex•
tended hand was ready to lift him who lay
upon the earth in such distress.
But, alt ! fatal pause I that generous
bosom, so full of fraternal love, which did
not frOget duty even there, amid the wild
carnage of battle, was pierced by a bullet;
and the brave Carroll rank, dying, by the
aide of him who linci culled for help, and
had not been refused
Washington's eye was on him—he
knew who and what he was, for he had
ant with him in a place where light aboun

were flying and must be pursued.
"On !" cried the dying hero to his men.
Forward ! " he shouted to his men.--
"We are victorious end I am content."
The battle was over. The British had
been swept back over the gory field which
thq had taken, and night had drawn its
mantel over the horrors which the day ex
pose I.
And by Major Carroll's side knelt the
only one of his race that was left to lite--
his youngest born. gis two oldest sons
had fallen on that dear bought field.- -
like himself, contented that they had died
fur their country, and fell in the hour
when victory was theirs.
"Father, what can I do for you 1" said
this boy hero, as he grasped his dying sire
by the hand, and sustained his head upon
his breast.
'Be. a man, and do your duty to your
country.hrst, and to yuur mother next...—
And, lad, save my masonic regalia. He,
our nation's father, ingested me with it !
Save it, and de: so worthily that when you
are of full age you to become entitled to

And soon the noble spirit of that brave,
good roan left his body, and went to dwell
with the great Architect of the universe.
Aid, years after, when peace smiled
upon our land the :.on fulfilled his father's
request, and that cherished regalia is yet

A Word to Mothoro.
Beneath a mother's curse no child
Wns ever known to thrive,
A mother is a mother still—
The holiest thing alive.
So says Coleridge, in his moving poem
of the "Three graves: l The cool, deliber•
ate malediction of a mother, whose heart
has been estranged and totted to hate to
wards her own offspring is, indeed, ii fear
ful, blighting thing. But there is anoth
er mode by which a mother may curse het
child, and that by neglecting us moral
education. Maternal influence is a trite
theme , yet as much as has been said to
illustrate its power, it has never in our
opinion been overrated. The mothers of
a nation are its creators ; and from the po
sition God and nature has given them,
must be its conservators or destroyers,
The influence of the nursery surpasses in
depth and contmuence all other influences.
As the mother, so is the son ; and with few
exceptions, the character forwed during
the first ten or twelve years of life is im
mortal ; it Is that which we bear with us
amid all the changes of time, and carry
Away ulettered the eternal world.
Mysterious Providence,
One man sucks an orange, and is choked
by a bit; another swallows a penknife, and
lives ;one rung a thorn into his hand, and
no skill can save him ; another has a shaft
of a gig driven completely through his bo

smooth common, and breaks his neck, and
another is tossed out of a gig over Brigh
ton Cliff, and survives t one walks out on
a windy diy and meets his death by a
brickbat; another is blown :up in the air
like Lord Hatton in Guernsey Castle and
coines down uninjured. The escape of
this nobleman was indeed a miracle.

The general notion is that in all cases the
