Let me kiss him for,his mother !
Ere ye lay him with the - dead;
Far away from home, another
Sure may kiss him in her stead.
'low that mother's lip would kiss him
Till her heart should nearly break. !
How in days to come she'll miss him! `
Lot me kiss him for her sake.
Let me kiss him for his mother !
Let me kiss the wandering boy ;
It may be there is no other
Left behind to give her joy.
When the news of woe, the morrow,
Burns her bosom like a coal,
She.may feel this kiss , of sorrow
Fall as balanpon her soul.
Let me lass him far his mother 1
Heroes ye, who by Ms side'
Waited on him as a brother
Till the Northern stranger died
Heeding not theloul infeotion,
'Breathing in the fever-breath—
Let me, of my own election,

In this volume, Jesus'Of•Nazarethis considered
in his double Character, as a sympathizer with
his disciples, and a coinpeasionate moonier over
those' who will not hearken to his voice. His
weeping at the tomb of Lazarus gives occasion
to Consider him in the one light'; 'his weeping
over Jerusalem, in the other. The style is clear,
and glowing; -.The grouping lof the

No where has the Elosriel so triumphed in mod:-

they existed a- few years ago. And if any one
still doubts the power of Christianity to enlighten
the darkest minds, to reform the most abandoned,
and to purify the most polluted; let him read the

The publishers have the pleasure' of presenting to the

marked by his own pen, and without a passage or a word
belngotnitted or added. The discourses are marked by that
glowing fervor, intense earnestness, strong conception, vig

hive made this preacher, in the dow of hl5 youth, the - moat
. popular. preacher in the world. ,
. We trust confidently that this volume will not be found
one whit behind any that boa preceded it, and that it will
rather exhibit the "plume:tug stature of the preacher in his

lOU. WILSON'S PILLS.
Raving retired from the practice of medicine, I may be
permftted,to say that it has fallen to the lot of but few
persons to have enjoyed so . liberal or large a ehdra of
obstetrical practice as my ownlitis been for the last thirty
,or forty years.
The experience of that long period of active life, and the
fast of my , having.leten twice, Since 1830, associated with
Dr. R. A. Wilson, in the practice of medicine, (in both a
period of Ave years,) enables me to judge fully of the merits
of his pills.
Bo convenient, so efficient, and yet so safe, did I esteem
these pills, that for the last tie years in practice, for the
cure of chrcmio diseases of . ethatever name. and those of
females in particular, I have used more of them than all
other medicines. Like every other medicine, these must
fail in some instances, but in my hands there has been less
disappointment and more estiefaction in the administration
of .this one remedy than of all others—its good effects
sometimes quite astonishing ma.
If AnY,patient required a safe aperient medicine, either
before or after parturition, the Wilson's Pills were just the
thing I wanted.
If a dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined
with costiveness,or inactivity of the liver, constituted the
dinoso oe ritystient,• the pills were just the thing
wanted.
If I treated a case 'requiring an emmenagogue, the Wil
son's Pillwwerejustihe thing I wanted:.
If palpitation, headache, flushed countenance, or other
difficulties indicatinga.dlitnibance of the circulatory and
secretory systems,' annoyed my patient at the teen of life,
the Wilson's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
Thus, withorit respect tothe name adisease mightbappeu
to wear atthe time I have bad it under treatment, parties.
lar • indications or symptoms arising were always; men
promptly and moat happily met by the Wilson's Pills.
That so great a number of diseases, and sometimes
apparently opposite ones, in wldchl have used those pills,
should be cured more readily, by them , than by any other
remedy, may at first seem strange and contradictory, but
why it is so, is as clear to my mind ee that a greet many
persons, should become thirsty from as many different
causes,' nd Yet all require that common and greatest of all
blessings, watere tr. quench their thirst.
la conclusion, it is due the reputation of medicine and
thepublie to say, decidedly and unconditionally, that the
Wilson's. Pills ere the only combination I have ever met
with in mylong course of practice that really possess any
thing curative or specific for AWL-headache.
