NEWS-BOY'S ADDRESS.
The Carrier's ✓lddress
To the Petrone of the
Star and Republican Banner.
JANUARY 1, 1835.
Warr Ho! my masters! Here I come
again,
To greet you with my annual New-YEAR'S
strain.
You know I promised last year that I would,
And Printers' Devils (he it understood)
Are men of honor, as you may have heard,
And like,whene'er it suits,to keep their word.
ArrcrruEit YEAR, on Time's e'er flowing
wave,
Has hurried by and found its destined grave
In the deep, - silent ocean of the past ;
The common bourne within whose shadowy
waste
Are lost alike the future and the present,
The lordly monarch and the lowly peasant.
Here, standiug on Time's isthmus, as it were,
The link that joins the past and future year,
We'll call a halt, if you have no objection,
And spend a little tune in retrospection—
-- Man, being reasonable, ought to strive,..
To make each passing year its tribute give
Of sound instruction, striving still to learn
To best advantage every hour to turn.
'Tis tit we ask, "Have we ourselves impro-
ved
"Through the past year, our time as it be
hoved
"Beings like us to do, who once must give
"A strict account of how we act and live?'
To make the past schoolmaster to the pre
sent,
Is useful, meritorious and pleasant:
The lessons of experience - , 'tit; confest,
(Tho' sometimes dearest) ever are the best
borne lessons of the kind within the year,
I've learnt myself,and will repeat them beta
Imprimis then, Sirs, be it understood,
I've found the Devil's vice, Ingratitude,
The certain index of a worthless mind
That still bespeaks there's something worse
behind,
Is still the refuge of Ambition's slaves, •
Of sordid villains and dishonest knaves.
The envious with the worthy ever strive,
And worth is scorn'd that needy rogues may
thrive.
But, tho' the Lord, no doubt for seine good
• reason,
Permits the bad to prosper for a season,
Brief is their triumph and short-liv'd their
joy,
Nor even whilst it lasts, without alloy.
Harrassing doubts„and shame, and guilty
tears,
Distracting terrors and corroding cares,
And vain desires that will not be repress'd,
Still haunt their visions and disturb their rest.
Obeying thus the Universal mind
Of Wisdom Infinite, we ever- find _
All things uniting in one general plan
indicate the ways of God to man.
In the past year, sonic queer things have
oecurr'd;
You all no doubt, (for instance) must have
.heard
How the fierce COMET, awful meteor! rose,
Blazing destruction on the People's foes.—
What mad vagaries were enacted too,
By J C— in his long-tail'd blue !
How posting to and fro with furious speed,
Ho almost founder'd his unlucky steed;
And how he jogg'd along in rear,
Still bawling "college!" "College!" in his
ear.
But now we see, oh terrible mishap! •
"The hapless Junto prostrate on its back!
'Twas truly said the times are out of joint:
For we it, seems are on the very point
Of War with France; wo are so appnky
grown,
That if we can't at once obtain our own,
Our pound of flesh according to our bond,
'Straightway wo grasp .war's desolating
brand,
Toss it on high and fiercely bid defiance
To France—the friend—whose generous
alliance
Stood sponsor to our infant. Liberty
And bade the young AMERICA be free!
Yet so it is --and, sure, since the "02. n Ro-
MAN"
So wills it, I suppose that there is no man
Must dare to qnestion his infallibility,
'But acquiesce therein with due. humility.
It seems,to guard against their being fools
Our children are to go to Common. Schools.
This system has excited much attention,
Much angry altercation and dissection;
The reasons pro and con alike have weight,
And School Lind Anti-School divide the
State— '
"Non nostril, tantaa componere Wes"—
That is,"'tis nut for me to say who rightie."
But I must giyo my Pegasus some rest
And curb his rumbling wandering humor,
lest !
He run away entirely with his master,
Which would, you know, be a most sad dis
aster! •
But one word more--A TRIFLE FROM YOUR
PURSES,
Mirely to pity for piinting of my verses,
Would bo, I do assuro you, quite a favour
In these hard times, in be forgotten never !
And now, kind patrims, having said my
say,
1 wish you all a HAPPY N.EW.YEAR'S DAY S !
THE CAURIER.

A VALUABLE MEDICINE:
Erßecomniended by unquestionable and conclu
sive testimonials.
551FEHE Proprietor confidently offers to the puh.
lic what experience has proved to be ono of
the most efficacious compounds in the Meterio
Medica,-for the cure of that class of distressing,
dangerous and inveterate Diseases produced by
an impure state of tht blood, acrimony of the hu
mors and vitiated habit of body, and usually ex
hibiting themselves in the various forms of Scro
fula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St. Anthony's Fire,
Fever Sores, White Swelling, Foul and ohatinate
Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, Scold Bead, and
Venereal Mint, where Mercury has failed.
DR. RELFE'S
BOTANICAL DROPS
have, in a multitude of cases, cured these invot.
erste Mid deep-rooted C6liiplutnts in their worst
and must hopeless stages. The Drops are also
given with success for violent eruptions after the
measles; red blotrhes,festering era idiots@ andpim
pies on the face; and in connection with Dr. JEllfe, ,
Lillilnerit, they remove white sweilings of the
joints. The Scrofula, in its early shapes of more
tumours behind the ears and under the chin, and
swelling of the upper lip and nose, will n ot only
quickly yield to this preparation, but scrofulous
ulcers, which brae spread to Hoch an extent and
depth, as to corrode the cartilages and affect the
bones with caries, have been gradnally and per
manently healed, by the persevering administra
tion of this powerful medicine; the sunken squall
id countella lice restored to its florid hue, the vita
energy re-established, and the whole system pn•
rifled and invigorated. They are also the best
Jjrring and Autuinnal Physic.
From many other proofs of the superior virtues
of Dr. Relfe's Drops, the Proprietor selects the
following
INTERESTING CASES.
uzrA Lady, to whom reference can birmade,
was for years afflicted with humours on her neck,
accompanied with frequent itching eruptions, and
running sores. She had tried various remedies
and had taken the best medical advice, but could
get no permanent relief, ,and her case daily be.
coining worse, fears were entertained of a fatal
termination of her complaint, when a friend pro.
videntially recommended the Botanical Drops,
four bottles of which eirected a complete cure, to
the surprise and joy of herselland friends.
(U'A Child of 8 years, had lost the use of his
arms, one leg was almost crippled, lip dropped out
of place, thigh and arms swollen and broke open
in several places, and many of the sores had pene
trated down to the bone. On taking these Drops
he recovered the use of his limbs, the sores healed
up, and he was restored to health, although thu't
incurable.
lOTA young Man, near Boston, was reduced so
low by eruptions and sores in various parts of his
body, especially his neck and hands; weakness ut
the stomach, loss ofappotite, general debility, and
gradual decline of the whole system, so as to
threaten an approaching Consumption. ilo was
entirely cured, and restored to a fine state of
health, by five of six bottles of those Drops.
ETA married Lady Was for years afflicted with
eruptions on the face, head, ears and various parts
of the body, attended with violent itching, burn.
ing, &c. had tried many prescriptions without ef
fect; was confined to her 109111, and declined all
company. She was cured by taking four bottles
of those Drops.
(LTA Lad belonging to Saugna,w hose head was..
covered all over with soros and blotches, was whol
ly cured by a lbw buttles,„after every other reme
dy had failed.
In — A Child five years old, had her face covered
with a scab,various eruptions about the body, and
was blind of both eyes. She was cured by taking
five bottles.
A Correspondent writes thus: "I have had Ul
cers on my logs so bad that I expected to lose the
use of thorn, and could only walk on crutches; two
pieces of bone came away from my right leg; when
hearing of your Relfe's Botanical Drops, after try
ing every thing else that I thought would allay
my sufferings, on using three bottle:le, I found my
self nearly well; the ulcers began to heal up and
cease running."
A Gentleman writes, ho had boon sorely afflic
ted for ten years with Biles all over his body, and
having tried ell kinds of remedies withoui suc
cess,
by the use of those Drops ho was perfectly
red.
Another Gentleman writes: "I have been seri
ously afflicted with the Salt Rheum on my head,
&c. and resorted to the use of many medicines
without affecting a cure, or doing any essential
good, until I obtained some of your Botanical
Drops, which, on using a short time, entirely cu
red me. I therefore recommend it to every per
son afflicted with this complaint."
ELY"' was afflicted," writes a person, "for six
years with intolerable burnings all over my body,
a droadful ulcer on on my left leg, and every oth
er day a return of Iniatiacho. /tiler taking ono
bottle I began to mend, and after u third, was

technicalities,and to give only such matters as will bu
of general interest.

within our reach,w ill given,iii order to ay. alien anti
keep alive literary interest; and due encouragement
will be given,as usual,to competent American writers
to favor us with their productions. In previous volumes
of the Casket,a large portion of the reading matter has
been furnished by approved correspondents; arid it is
our desire to give an equal quantity in the forthcont
ing volione,provided it can be obtained of air iinexceps
tionablesiinteresting arid instructive character.
ti. Plates of Fashums.-lit the course of the year,two
handsome colored engravings,of the latest London &
Parish fashions, procured engraved expressly for this
work,will be given, with appropriate letter press de

7. Pi. igraeings.-Each number of the Casket will
contain one handsome steel or copper-plateenrgraving
and two or more wood cuts,of superior workmanship,
illustrative of arch itecture,scenery,fancy sketches, &c.
In this department the Casket has hitherto stood pre
eminent, and the exertions of the publisher will be
strenuously directed to increase rather than diminisif
the attractions of the volume for 1335, in this particul.
lar. A number of beautiful designs are aiivady in the
hands of competent engravers.
8. slfusic.-An approved piece of music,arranged for
the piano forte or guitar,will be given hr each number.
Finer and better paper than usual will be used for
the Casket for 1835,& great attention will be bestow
ed upon the typographical appearance of the work. It
is the intention of the proprictor,in short,to introduce
such improvements as ho feels assured will be grati
fying to his numerous pramus,& tend to give the work
still stronger claims upon the patronage of the public.
in addition tothe improvements noticed above,there
will be are addition q/ twelve pages of reading matter
to each number of the Casket, without any additional
charge. The publisher has been induced to incur the
expense of this enlargement, on account of his having
been cornpelled,in many instances during thr past year
to omit articles which we would gladly have furnished.
The enlargement will be equivalent to the addition of
one-filth 'Attie whole. Instead of 48 pages of matter,
60 will be furnished.and the volume ' at the end of the
year,will comprise 720 pages, instead of 600 as form
erly. In the additional 12 pages, a
LITERARY PORTFOLIO,
will be furnished, containing notices of new publica
tions,with occasional sketches of their contents,and a
variety of miscellaneous and literary readings. It is
confidently believed that these improvements and ad
ditions will be met by a corresponding liberality on
the part of the reading community.

1835,whioh will be published about the ruiddleof Ja
nuary inst. will be embellished with a handsome Map
of Pennsylvania,engraved expressly for the work: It
will be beautifully colored, and will contain, carefully
and legibly marked, all the roil-roads, canals, p ublic
roads, completed or in progress, and coal-beds w the
State. This mutter has been undertaken by the pro
victor, under a conviction that the subject it one of
vast & increasing importance. The internal improve
ments of Pennsylvania have now become of great mag
nitude,and every citizen should be familiar with their
value,extcnt and character. This map will be valuable
for reference,und the accompanying description in let
ter,,,press,will be full,ample and satisfactory.
_FEBRUARY,IB3S.-The February No. of the Cas
ket,which will be published early in that month,will
be ornamented with a plate of the latest London and
Paris Fashions, handsomely colored,expressly engra
ved, for the work. It will be accompanied with de

fashionable belles of Europe,and much relating to em
broidery,&c. This cngraving,as well as that design
ed to be furnished in the January number,will be pre
pared by the first artists - in the city. The value of
these two numbers alone, will be fully equal to the
whole cost for one year.
