The Ulie of Tears...
Be not thy tears tdti barshly chid,
Repinoinot at the rising Sigh ;
Who, if he might, would always bid -
The breast be still, the Cheek ,be "drys?
How little of ourselves we know
Before a grief the heart has felt (
The lessons that we learned of wo
May brace the mind, as well as melt
The energies too stern for mirth,
The reach of thought, the strength of wilt,
'Mid cloud and tempest have their birth,
Though blight and blast their course fullii
Love's perfect triumph never crowned
The hope unohequered by a pang;
the,pudiest wreathee with thorns are bound
And Sappho wept beforo she sang.
Tears, at each sweet emotion flow ;
They, wait on Pity'rt gentle. claim,
On Admiration's fervid glow,
On Piety's seraphic flame..
is only when it mourn's and fears,
The loaded spirit feels forgiven,
And through the'mist Of falling tears,
We catch tho clearest glimpse of heaven.

This is'a book of thrilling interest to every one
who commiserates the poor, the unfortunate, and
the degraded. /Vim time ago, the attention of
the Legislature of New York was callQ to the milt
arable condition of the 'buildings known in'the
city of New , York, 'by the' name of .".Tenant '
Houses." 4. - committee 'was appointed on the,
subject, which continued its investigations, at in
tervals, fora whole year. Every successive step
brought the committee, in contact with new isoenes
of squalid poverty, loathsome vice, or , •quiet pa
tient, dying endurance on the part of. some who
bad seen better days, and of some truly virtuous ,
and pious, in the -miserable lodgings let out 'at
exorbitant rates, hlthongh destitute of every com
fort. The result was, a report to the Legislature,
prepared by the Hon. A.-J. H. Dunganne, em.
bodying most appalling and startlini facts. This
gentleman, -at the request of the publisher, has
written the present work, haying for itipasis:tbe
facts stated in the report, connecting 'them by
means of fictitians 11i.1116/1, so , as to present con
tinued narratives, revealing scenes. of :terrible
wretchedness And mostiouching interest.. At the
same time there is nothing to gratify a purient
curiosity,. but the whole is written'in a Christian'
spirit, and with a Christian object. We envy not
the one that can reed these pages with unmoved
heart and nnmointened eyes. • • •

The ve first glance at this portly volume, re
veals to• u ' fair page and admirable type.
Looking a 1 e farther, we see beautifully.eolored ,
plates of birds, fruits and flowers, and many pie..
tures of•scenery and ancient remains. Turning
to the maps, we find them new, and with not a,
few improvements on those in common use. 'And
when we begin to read, , we, find the style clear
and perspimious, and the author one of the most
genial and observant: of travelers. Ho leads us
along with him through the scenes of most prom
inent Interest in Falestine, to SitiOn,"TyiK *laced,
Tiberias, Tabor, Samaria; Bethlehem, Jericho,
the Jordan, the region about the Dead Sea, and
he lingers with us' long about Jerusalem, telling
us of its past glory, and pointing '
'out the many
sacred looalities on.which the Christian mind de
lights to dwell. He tells us of the condition•iiiid
character of the inhabitants of the Holy Land.'
of the Druie r the Mohammedan, the Bedouin,:
and the Jain And he describes to us the vegeta.'

and vivilpieture of the 'present condition of the'

differs in power of transmission from a vibra

soon determine what kind of sound could be

determined, we should have a telegraph in
every.way superior to the magnetic one:
The experiments of Biot have furnished a
most satisfactory and encouraging basis, for
further experiment. They establish the fact
that at the distance of a mils, in ordinary

CELEBRATED
VERMIFUGE
LIVER PILLS.
WE beg leaveto call the atten
tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer*to
Dr. Cht4.ll'Lanes Celebrated
Verrnifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz.:
THE VERMIFITGE,. •
For expelling Wonni from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the Cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK
BEAD-ACHE, &C., In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE
preparatory to or after taking Qui
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men
tioned digeases, they are Unrivaled,
arid never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced proprietors,

to, dispose of their `Drug business,
-in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
`undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that Dr. M'Lane's Cele
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
.
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great - remedies of the day, they
will continue to - spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best
=and Purest material, and corn

manner. - Address all orders to •
