The infant is sleeping,
He prattles no more ;
The mother . % weeping,
Afflicted and sore ;
The children are crying,
For *, baby is dead ;"
The father is sighing,
For one little head
There le grief in the 'Hamm,
And mourning and woe;
All, Nave little Alice,
Their sorrow do show.
lier fair cheeks are tearless;
lier blue eyes are clear;
And trusting and fearless,
She stands by the bier.

As, lifting her head,
She turns to the living,
From one that is dead :
"Dear mother, you told us
That God was on high,
And his arms would enfold us
Whenever we die.

With the voice of a prophet,
The look of a seer,

Enohain'd every ear;
The sobs came no longer,
The eyes knew a balm,
The parents were stronger,
The children were calm.

A rose on his breast;
And they learn'd front his f gOlog,

Mr.4via l dpon- c was-

_. vv .
sf the mos , mementotie7pertod onimtry's
history,' took a leading part in the Most im
`portent movements, and occupied the highest
place in the nation's gift.
The author has baseclthis history upon original
tdoeturfents, many of which have never before
been published. Hence, not only is new
formation communicated, but, many current
errors, !whisk-have long ago' obtained ygeneral
nkigence, had been corrected, Owing to ,the
t part Mr. I Madison took in public Itiffairs, his
to-be complete, must :necessarily con.'
ti'retteli Contemporaneous history ; ,and'in, tlds
=department of his work, as well as 'in. every
other, 'the author has succeeded admirably in
this first volume.
He shims, most conclusively, that,the Anierican
revolution watrnot ,rebellion, that to the
. 4 4, I* 131 Plit , F.F.tiPablei''the- 21 etaders maintained;
loyalty.to the British crown. They ceased to be.
loyal only when to continue, any longer so would
AIM beanie forfeit their character as , Bnglishmen.
The.position occupied by Virginia in the great'
struggle; and theeffects of the unrighteous polioy
of, Lord. Dunmore, are very clearly .und ably
diecuased.
It is supposed by many that the uprising
against British usurpation 'in that colony had a'
purely Democratic ,origin, -and was at first vehe
mently opposed by what was stigngitized as the.
aristocracy. But this history eitabdishes the'
fact that, the largest landholders in _thetProvitme,
were,* most zealous and the most saffifficing
smong-thelatriots.
Mr."±Madison was. the champion of religious
freedom in Virginia, and was successful in his
efforts. Previous to this, Episocipacy - was the
State religion of the 4, Old Dominion."
In this life of , Mr. Madison, we have &loiter ,
history of the old Congreqs of the Confederation,
during thilfour -years le' was a -mernber of that
Fedi, than an be found in any other'single :
publication. This embraces the most importint
Oiled of,the War of the Revolution, and those
deeply interesting passages In our political 'aid

oompatatively tittle itinetration.'A
Mr. Rives manifesto. much care in the state-
Mont of facts, great candor toward all the
illustrious men with whom -the- subject of his
historymeted, and a thorougho.2paintance. with
the controversies, discuseions, and events eon
neetod with the early histoumf American Ude
pinicience. We look with interest for the next
volume, now in press; and believe thatthe entire
work. will be a valuable• addition to our national
history. The - publishers, Messrs. Tattle,- Arown

Introduction by Rev. S. N. Riax, DD. 123n0. Cloth,

This volume cannot fall to stimulate religleas thought
and discussion. It presents novel, original and startling
views. It places within the Christian fold many who claim
no place there; cuts off from it many who consider them
selves entitled to all its privileges, and applies teats of
spiritual character which are vitally distinct from those
welch are current in the popular religion of the day. It
is one of the books to be read, marked and inwardly
digested.

It is not our wish, however, to interfere by this publica

It is well known that a large number of the half minion of
souls that are on this coast,, do not attend any church or

EDITH'S MINISTRY. By Harriet B. 'McKeever, author of
"Sunshine," "The Flounced Robe," etc., ete. 12m0., $l.
Aware of the folly which leads certain weak minds to
attach a degree of odium to the life of a elngle'woman, the
writer of this volume has endeavored to depict a character
purified and ennobled by early trials, not unusual or exag
gerated; a character which has Its counterpart around as,
In many a happy home.
She has endeavored to show that although denied by
Providence those natural Noe, so sweet when hallowed by
true piety, 'Jibe may' still giithhi around' her a 'circle of
loving hearts, who reverence her name' and rejoice in the
sunlight which she everywhere creates.
Let oar sister Bdiths and Annt Marys learn that there
is no need of lapdogs and pet cats, toiengreas their afire°.
tions, when there are so many orphaned, helpless,• or
ignorant children around them; let them alto learn that
there:is Ume for peevishness or discontent, while so
many need their affectionate services. If they would keep
their hearts green; their spirits young and joyous, let them
mingle freely with youth, ministering to their happiness,
,nothing their troubles, and directing their young steps; if
they would be saved from gloomy discontent, let them
frequent the homes of the poor and suffering, and they
th e r eleesonsof_holyltratitudeorlAatopon make
them welcome in every household, as the blessed beatowers
of rich mores of human happiness.—[From the Preface.]

MEDICAL.
DR. R. A. WILSON'S PILLS.
Daring retired from the prattle* of medicine, I may be
permitted to say that it has fallen to the lot of but lbw
persons to have enjoyed so liberal or large a share of
obstetrical practice as my own has been for the last thirty
or forty years.
The experience of that long period of active life, and the
fact of my having been twice, since IE4O, associated with
Dr. R. A. Wilton, in the practice of medicine, (in both a
period of five years,) enables me to judge fully of themerits
of his pills.
Bo convenient, so Efficient, and yet so safe, did I esteem
these pills, that for the last dye yearn in practice, for the
cure of chronic diseases of whatever name, and those of
females in particular. I have need more of them than alt
other medicines. Like every other medicine, these moat
fail in some instance', bat In my binds there has been hiss
disappointment and more satisfaction in the administration
of this one remedy than of all others—lts good effects
eometimes•gnite astonishing me.
If my patient recinired 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
disease of my patient, the pills wore just the thing I
wanted.
If I treated a case requiring an emmenagogne, the Wil
son's Pills were Jost the thing I wanted.
If palpitation, headache, flashed countenance, or other
difficulties indicating a disturbance of the circulatory and
secretory systems '
annoyed my patient at the turn of life,
the Wilson ' s. Pills were just the thing I wanted.
Thus, without respect to the name sdieease might happen
to wear at the time I have had it under treatment, particti•
ler indications or s y mptoms 'were always most
promptly and most happily met by the Wilson's Pills.
That so great a number of diseases, and sometimes
apparently oppoeite ones, in which I have need those pills,
Should be cured more readily by 'Diem than' byl any other
remedy, may at first seem strange and contradictory, but
why it is so, is as clear to my mind as that a greet many
persons should betiome thirsty from .as :many different
causes, and yet all require that common and greatest of all
blessings, water, to quench their thirst
I.s conclusion, it is due the reputation of medicine and
the public to say, decidedly and uncoriditkinally, that the
Wilson's Pills are the only combination I have ever met
with In my long course of practice that really possess any
thing curative or specific foil eloieluirdiehe.
