H ow . gr itai' y pass our years!
How soon their night comes on;
A train of hopes and fears,
And human life is gone !
See, their summer now is past ;
The foliage late that clad the trees,
Stript by their equinoctial blast,
Falls, like the dew-drop on the breeze.
Cold winter hastens on,
Fair nature feels his grasp;
Weeps over all her beauties gone,
And sighs their glory past.
So life, thy summer soon will end,
Thine autumn too will quick decay.
And winter come, when thou shalt bend
Within the tomb, to mould away.
But summer will return,
In all her beauties dressed
Nature shall yet rejoice again,
And be by man caressed.
But, ah! life's summer passed away,
Can never, never hope return ;
Cold winter comes, with cheerless ray,
To beam upon its dreary urn!
Then man may daily seek
A mansion in the skies,
Where summers never cease,
And glory never dies !
There an eternal SentNn shall bloom,
With joys as vast as angels' powers ; _
And thrice ten thousand harps in tulle
Shall praise the love that made it ours.
' NE WORD o• Lxra.—lt is recorded of one
good man,who is known to have made uncommon
proficiency in, his researches atter truth, that ho
studied his bible every day on his knees. And
pf every good man it must be true, from the na
ture of the cise that he studies the word of God
with his eye directed to heaven for divine teaching
Between truth and an humble prayerful spirit,
there is that indissoluble connexion, that will jus
tifx the inference, that where the one is, there we
may with great probability look for the other.

RESPECTFULLY invites those who

a call, having had very good success in cur

short space of time that he has been here
had upwards of forty cases of Rheumatism
under treatment, and having given relief in
every case, and failed in but five or six cases
of performing a complete cure—and some
of these were through neg:ect on their part;
and others to the long standing of the dis

EDITED BY
Jas. Cooper & Win. M. Reynolds.
Tn E PnEss, beyond a doubt; is the grand lever
which now moves the intellectual world. Among
civilized nations, public opinion bows so submis
sively to no other power; even despots reverence
its voice, and demagogues tremble at its frown.
Of course, it may be an instrument either of
good or of evil—an Winners spear of truth, or a
sorcerer's delusive wand. 'rtu obstinate defender
of exploded doctrines and the wild propagandist of
the latest theory alike make this their weapon of
attack and defence; and by its means may the
friend of truth most successfully refute error and
disseminate the pure principles of right reason.
In one of these wais,..,zte may rest assured, it
will be employed; for never can it be fettered or
silenced, and thus will the world continue to read
and be ruled by its reasonings. In the present
state of society, books, periodicals, magazines and
newspapers may be reckoned among the necessaries
of life, for which the appetite and demand are be
coming alike universal. Is it not,then incalculably
important that a proper direction be given to this
feeling, so that it may be productive atilt the bene
fits which it promises!
We have long believed that the weekly news
' paper might assume a character somewhat diffiTent
from that which it has usually had—that it might
be made to come more home to the bosoms and
business of men—that its interest might be deep
ened—its moral tone elevated—its usefulness ex
tended far beyond its present limits.
Desirous of contributing somewhat to the fur
therance of such an object, we propose publishing
a weekly journal under the above title. Tut: hits
will endeavor to keep constantly in view and stead
flunly advocate the objects to which it is professedly
devoted. Regarding rlrtue as the surest source of
individual happiness and national prosperity, we
shall endeavor to illustrate its principles and en
force its precepts. Laboring for "the many," we
shall offer to the people the Key of knowledge,
that they may thus keep in their own hands that
power which will otherwise crc long glide front
them into the hands of , m few." Looking at all
useful labor as not only the true foundation of
wealth, but also honorable—discoveries and im
provements in the arts, agriculture and kindied
subjects, will claim a due share of our attention.
Whilst we aim at combining "the useful with
the agreeable," we hope to avoid the danger of
dulness, on the one hand, and that of pandering to
the corrupt taste, on the other.
Studiously abstaining from party politics, wu
shall think it our duty to discuss iniportant points
of policy. We shall also attempt to give an im
partial account of domestic as well as of foreign
affairs.
With this 'brief exposition of their views and
plans, the Editors throw themselves upon the in
dulgence of a discriminating public, pledging
themselves, if they meet with encouragement, to
render the work worthy of patronage.

Edited and l'uldished & Benjamin Lands-
THIS work has recently been establish
ed with the view of advocating the
cause of Universal Emancipation. The Ed
itor, having devoted more than eighteen
years of his life to this iinportant subject,
and having,' nearly the whole of this period,
superintended the editorial department of
another publication of simittr character and
views, conceives it to be ilimecew , ary,at pre
sent, to give an exposition of his particular
sentiments in relation to it. Yet it may not
be improper to state explicitly,that the prin
cipal aim and leading object of the work
will be TILE 13IMEDIATE AND virrsz. ACOLI•
TION OF SLAVERY ES AMERICA, by the mast
efficient moral, judic:ous and Coastirat Mau/
means.
The time was—and well indeed is it re
. membered—when but a solitary voice (ex
cept its own occasional echo) was beard
throughout the land, in favor of a restora
tion of the "inalienable rights," and redress
for the innumerable wrongs, of the Ameri-
Ican bondman. It was a dreary night of
hopeless, soul-depressing toil .6a . rare! But
within the period above mentioned_ a mark
ed and visible change has been effected; a
wonderful impetus has been eiven to the pro
' gress of the holy cause; and the brightest
cheering r ays of hope and confidience in sae
cess,a rebeaming around us. It is true that
much yet remains to be done, m orderato
guard against and ward off the awful. im
pending calamity,which has long threatened
the peace and safety of our contury. A
severe contest is yet to Ir. waged with the
demon of oppression, em the vengeful arm
ofJustice shall be stayed, and the powerof
moral truth established, and the renovation
of our social system effected. We most,
therefore, buckle on the armor ofrighternis
persevering energy—renew car zeal and
activity in the vineyard of labor—plead with
more earnestness the cause oldie narering
and the enslaved--engage with more fervor
in supplication, at the Throne of Almighty
Power, for the successful terminational oar
arduous, yet glorious undertaking.
Wit such views as am here expressed,
the editor of this work has assumed the sta
tion which he now occupies. He king since
entered with alacrity this great arena of
moral warfare,and yields to cone thedis
position to sustain the principles Aka' he
has for many years redoced,pracfce.
