Ah! how transitory are all human emotions.as
well as all human circumstances ! The solemn event,
which, at the beginning of last week, seemed to
overpower all hearts, as a national calamity, has al
ready ceased to be remembered, and will no more
be thought of until the occurrence of the pageant
Which is to commemorate his funeral obsequies. Our
jmblic procession, which will be composed of milita
ry, civic societies, fire-companies, citizens, &c., and j
will no doubt be a grand display, is to take place to
day week, the 23d instant: hut Saturday last, being
the day of the funeral in Washington, was also appoint
ed by our city authorities to be observed in an ap- j
propriate manner. Never did we see the city ap- j
pear so grandly solemn and mournful as on that oc- 1
casion. The public buiHlings and most of the stores
Were closed, while from many, sable emblems of
mourning floated on the air ; the Post Office and ‘
Custom House were almost covered with black
drapery. The flags were hung at half-mast, and I
shrouded in crape. At 12, all the.fire and church
hells began to toll a solemn concert, the effect of j
which can hardly be imagined. At the same hour
Capt. Raynor's corps of Artillery, accompanied by a
splendid band of music, took its station on the Bat
tery, with four cannon, and fired a salute of sixty-six
guns, that being the late President’s age. The firing
was answered by a corresponding salute from the
Navy Yard, Governor’s Island, theU. S. Ship North
Carolina, and, what gratified us most as a mark of
optional sympathy, the English steamer Europa.—
Many of our citizens were in the streets, and all
seemed to feel the solemnity of the occasion. On
Sunday, our clergy, without exception, alluded to the
event, while sonic hesitated not to make their sermons |
eulogies of the deceased. Yesterday and to-day,
however, we have observed that very little is said or
•thought of the sad event; or, if it is made the
subject of conversation, it is only with the view to
■speculate on the character of his successor, and the
■Course of the new Cabinet. Yet such is life, and
such is death. There is the same oblivion for Pres
ident and private citizen.
You have heard, I doubt not, of our Rutgers In
stitute, a trusteed establishment for the education of
young ladies, which has an average attendance of
four hundred and fifty pupils. One of the pleasant
est afternoon* wo have spent in a long while was at
the Commencement of this Institution, held in the
Rutgers St. Church, on Friday last. Just think, Mr.
Editor, of -100 young ladies, and some of them, the
most graceful and beautiful creatures that ever went
to school, filling up the aisles, the inimitable blush on
their cheeks contrasting with the pure white of their
dresses in a style which a painter might envy but
could never catch. And then when the exercises were
over, to see them warmly shaking hands with, and
bidding adieu to, their Professors, (we would have 1
given a ten dollar bill to have been a Professor for
ns many minutes,) —and the w armer caresses which
they bestowed, at parting, on each other, sounding |
*s’ if popped-corn were going off’ in all parts of the
Omilding—can you wonder that it made a bachelor’s
■mouth water ? The exercises consisted of reports
made on the different departments by various com- I
mittees appointed for the purpose, and the reading of
a number of compositions written by the young la
•dies. Some of the latter were well w ritten, but we j
would advise the Trustees to let the authors read them, 1
for some of the old sprigs chosen for that purpose
murdered them most miserably. Some fine songs ‘
were sung; hooks, diplomas and medals given to the
deserving ; the fair ones were applauded till the old
church rang—and I dreamed till night of Mahomet’s
Paradise and its ravishing peris.
Though the weather luis been very warm, and the
■city is almost depopulated through the absence of i
those who seek pleasure, relaxation, or fashionable 1
re-union at popular watering-places, yet the Opera
continues to be well patronized. The Italian Com
pany is the best beyond comparison that has ever
been in New York, and they have very judiciously
chosen Castle Garden* as the place of their enter
tainments, where the sea-breeze rolling down the
lfay even in the warmest nights of summer, is almost
as attractive as the divine strains of Tedcsco and
Stofthnoni. “The Huguenots,” a magnificent piece
which no company in this city ever before had pow
er to produce, lias been put oil the stage with a
splendid caste and the most decided success.—
Strakoscli is now engaged on anew picee, entitled
“La Regina di Napoli,” founded on the tragic histo
ry of J. anna, Q teen of Sicily.
The Crusade, in which our respectable Sixth
“Ward Police are the King Richards and Godfreys of
Bouillon, which has in view the laudable object of j
rescuing the Five Points from thieves, prostitutes, j
and all other unbelievers, continues with unabated
vigor; and we hope at last to see those dens of vice j
incredible, completely obliterated from the face, or
rather bowels, of otherwise respectable Gotham. On
Saturday last no less than one hundred and sixteen !
persons were arrested, forty-nine of whom were
prostitutes, and more than fifty brothel-keepers.—
Some of them will no doubt manage to os- j
cape the law, but most, we sincerely hope, will be
converted into “hewers of stone,” and in that ca
pacity for once “dothe State some service” at Black
well’s Island. It gratifies us much to reeord that a
great moral reform lias taken place, and is still going
on, in this awful locality, whose wickedness has
passed into a proverb, and which even our philan
thropists seem hitherto to have considered a Nazar
eth from which no good thing could conic out. Many
of the hell-houses are now closed; and every Sab
bath, directly opposite that haunt of iniquity, known
ns ‘‘The Old Brewery,” a prayer meeting and Sun
day school are held, which these poor wretches are
invited and urged to attend. Horrid obscenities and
blasphemies have given way to “the voice of praise.”
Anew paper in the Italian language, called “the
Italian Exile,” has just been started here by Signor
Torrecelli, late a Genevan Monk, who was com
pelled to flee from his native land in consequence of
a warm espousal of republican principles. There are
hardly enough Italian residents to support this and
the other paper in that language, which is already
published here.
R. 11. Stoddard, who has lately obtained quite a
magazine reputation as a poet, is about having a eol
. lection of his poems published by Tieknor, Reed &
Fields, of Boston. His later pieces are decidedly
better than his “Footprints,” which first brought him
before the public : and yet we do not know’ that we
praise them very highly even in saying this. Bayard
Taylor, who, by the Way. is becoming one of the most
popular writers of the day, is to deliver the poem be
fore the literary societies of Harvard Lniversitv, on
the ISth inst. AVillis is publishing in the Home
Journal anew work of his, “Tour in Ireland,” com
piled from notes taken during his European travels.
It is not marked by the piquancy of expression, or
the general interest which characterize some of his
earlier productions. Whittier, whom we must ad
mit to be one of America’s most brilliant poets,
though his abolition sentiments we heartily de
spise, has been for some time in ill-health. He is living
on his farm on the Merrimac.

dfC.
The case of Professor Webster is not yet decided.
Many petitions have been presented to the Governor
and Council in his favor, ami several medical gentle
men and others have been heard by the committee
on pardons, to show that the prisoner was of an iras
cible temperament from his youth up ; also, to show’
that a single blow on the temple may possibly kill a
man. In the meantime, the newspapers have given
their opinion of this awful emergency. These are, in
general, unfavorable to the convicted man. The con
fession is considered to be a terribly cold, hard docu
ment—not what the remorse of a penitent murder
er's heart coul<T make it, or should make it. Some
of the papers comment severely enough on the ad
mission of evidence before the committee, as if there
was not had a sufficient trial of evidence before the
jury, and they demand that witnesses shall be heard
anew on the side of the government also. But I
think this concession to the friends of the accused j
man bespeaks a “foregone conclusion.” The govern- ;
ment will stretch a point—will hear everything—will
try to satisfy the philanthropists, but it will affirm the
sentence; and in this it is very well known and inti
mately felt that it will only act according to the con
victions of the public. I>y the slaying of Parkman,
it were possible that Webster would not forfeit hi*
life. It is the terrible duplicity of the man that has
doomed him. People do not believe one word lie
states ! If ho had gone out, after the murder, and
given himself up, his life would probably be spared.
Miserable man ! liis apparent duplicity and hard
heartedness are more taken into consideration than j
the fatal act itself. It is expected that on the 18tli j
inst. the committee will have come to the close of
its deliberations.
The unlooked for death of the venerable President
has thrown a gloom over this community. All the
public demonstrations of respectful mourning, cus
tomary on such an occasion, have been made. The
offices of the State House and of the Custom House,
the Law Courts, &e., have had their business suspen
ded for a fitting interval; bells were tolled at ap
pointed hours, and all the flags of the city and ship
ping were suspended at half-mast. Other ceremo
nies expressive of the public regret for the loss of the
brave and honest old republican soldier are yet to
take place—among them a funeral oration. The or
ator lias not yet been named. Thre is a good deal
of talk about the effect produced upon the late Presi
dent by southern ultras , and the policy of some of
his own friends in Congress. People say these
things killed him. They might have affected him,
but they did not kill him. The imprudence of drink
ing ice-water too freely when hot and tired, and
then eating cucumbers and cherries, and drinking
milk, would sufficiently account for the death of the
youngest and strongest man in the community.
What a comment upon the nothingness of life is here
furnished ! A few vegetables have power to extin
guish here, the soul of the foremost man in the re
public, and turn the entire current of national feel- j
mgs and expectation. After catastrophes take place, |
people, in general, see liow they might have been
avoided or averted.
Very unexpectedly, without doubt, Millard Fill
more finds, himself President of the United States.
His father is a farmer in western New York. He
has a son, about twenty years of age, studying the
law, and his daughter, aged eighteen, is, or was, very
lately, a teacher in one of the Public Schools at Buf
falo. The members of the intelligent and highly res
pectable class to which she belongs, will now, doubt
less, hold tlieir heads a little more proudly than be
fore. This is an excellent illustration of our republi
can institutions. Miss Fillmore will not be the less
amiable and dignified in the White House from hav
ing taught “the young idea liow to shoot” in the
close and murmurous academy of Buffalo. Wliat
the future policy of Mr. Fillmore will be, and how it
will affect the destinies of this continent, I need not
talk to you about. Is it not thoroughly discussed in
all the newspapers of all the Union ? “Look in the
(cotemporary) chronicles,” as Christopher Sly says.
Mr. James, the English novelist, has published a
letter in the New York Mirror, in which lie disclaims
any intention of writing a book upon us, as was re
ported. This well-timed announcement lias calmed
the general feeling of terror, mixed with anger,
which began to be felt in the community. The En
glish have been setting their book-makers at us for
n long time, and turning us into ridicule in the most
shocking manner, and it was determined that James
should be avoided like a man with the plague, till it
was known that his intentions were peaceable. But
he lias buried the hatchet and smoked the calumet,
at Tarrytown, with Washington Irving, and our peo
ple again are expectorating freely both at home and
out of doors.
We are about to have “ghostly knockings” in
Boston. The Rochester ladies are making such an
unconscionable stay at New York, that Mr. Cutter,
lecturer on Biology, lias resolved to furnish us with
the supernatural, manufactured, as it were, in our
own city. He lias engaged the ghosts to knock for
him. lie went to New York a month ago, and hav
ing an interview with the “knockers,” through the
Fox family, found that among them were the spirits
of some of His particular friends, who were glad to
see him. and let him know that they would be with
him in Boston, such a day, and give him any infor
mation from tlie hidden world, which he may desire,
lie was very much surprised and gratified, and bid
them come ; and they came, and were heard very
distinctly at Mr. Cutter’s house a fortnight ago.
This gentleman is now about getting a good room in
some convenient place, where the spirits will answer
all questions in a satisfactory manner, and at a much
cheaper rate than the New York spirits. Mr. Cut
ter's announcement, to the foregoing effect, lias ap
-1 peared in our papers. We are all very glad that the
monopoly is done away with. The Fox family
thought they liad the whole business to themselves,
and charged high accordingly—that is, a dollar for
1 each visitor. Mr. Cutter can afford his ghosts at 50
cents, and will, doubtless, do a good trade at that
figure. I hear that the Boston knocks are much
more distinct and satisfactory than the New York
ones, and have less hesitation and caprice in tlieir
manner of conversing with mortals. We are all,
naturally, on the qui tore, in a state of pleasant ex
pectation—all, except Professor Lister, the Boston
Astrologer, who “tells destinies orally for fifty cents,
and by letter for $3 he says he does not believe
Cutter has got any ghosts at all, and, indeed, goes so
far as to say he is a mere pretender ! But, of course,
there will always be doubters concerning any new
discovery that may be made, from time to time. For
instance, the gas manufacturers and oil sellers of
New Aork, can’t give Mr. Paine, of Worcester, who
: says he can make light from water, a fairer name
than “cheat” or “charlatan !”
And, coming to Mr. Paine, this gentleman is very
dilatory. It was expected that liis great fact would
be made clear to all the world before now. A New
York Committee have done liis pretenism more dam
age than it had yet suffered. They went to Worces
ter, saw his light, and from the appearance of it, and
the manner in which Mr. Paine’s brother exhibited
it. came to the conclusion that oil-gas was introduc
ed into the vessel, and burned for hydrosen gas.
thus branding Paine as cheat! If what they assert
(and they have published a card to this effect.) be
true, Mr. Paine deserves to be tarred and feathered
from Maine to Georgia. But Paine still holds out.
He denies that he exhibits oil-gas for the hydrogen
gas he announces, and still appeals to the ultimate
1 result.
Garibaldi, the general who defended Rome so
bravely, is coming to this country. He left Liver
pool on the 27th of last month, in the Waterloo, for
New York. Forty Polish refugees are. also, on their
way here. Kossuth will come to America the mo
ment he is free. Our Minister to Turkey, Mr.
Marsh, wrote to the Turkish Minister of foreign af
fairs, demanding that the Hungarian chief and his
companions, detained at Broussa, by the Sultan,
should be permitted to go to the United States. In
reply, Mr. Marsh was informed that the promises of
the Sultan to Austria and Russia could not be bro
ben—that the proscribed Hungarian and Poles must
remain in their present imprisonment. The Sultan
has offered to keep these men prisoners in Asia Mi
nor for one year. The British and Neapolitan Min
isters at Constantinople were in favor of Mr. Marsh's
application. It is not improbable that some differ
ence between the Sultan and the two northern despo
tisms may have the effect of giving Kossuth and liis
friends liberty to go where they please before the
year is out.

Excitement in Texas—Extra Session of the
Legislature called.
New Orleans, July 17.
Advices from Texas are of an exciting cha
racter in reference to matters in Santa Fe.
Meetings have been held at San Antonio and
on the San Jacinto battle-lield, where resolu
tions were adopted denouncing the course of
the General Government and calling on the
Governor to proclaim Santa Fe in a state of
insurrection. An extra session of the Legisla
ture of Texas was called to assemble on the
12th August next.
The alarm as to the difficulties with the In
dians had somewhat subsided.
The state of the crops, with the exception of
those in the Trinity region, were more favorable.
Texas Sustained.
We take the following letter from the National
ntellgencer of the 4th inst. There is evidently
a coming together ofthe Southern statesmen and
people—tlie true men of the South. They are
rallying to the cause of their section, regardless
of the interest of men or parties. They are break
ing over party ties and party men, and are be
ginning to look at the interest and honor of the
South, and that alone. This is gratifying—glo
rious. Let us teacli the whole tribe of anti-
Southern statesmen, great or small, that they
cannot betray our dearest interests and expect
our support.
House of Representatives, July 3, 1850.
Gentlemen: In your paper of this morning 1
notice the following editorial:
“We take it for granted that there is founda
tion, of some kind or other, for the statement in
the following extract from the Washington cor
respondence of the Journal of Commerce. If it
be all really true, the gallant State of Texas is
about to march an army into the territories of
the United States, and against an armed station
of the United States within them ; and we are
to have news of it in less than six weeks from
this time! Let us hope, however, that the
worthy correspondent of tlie Journal is prema
turely alarmed tor the safety of Santa Fe and the
detachment of the army whose duty it will be to
defend it.
“Correspondence ofthe Journal of Commerce.”
“Washington, June 29,1850.
“There will be some startling intelligence from
Texas in less than six weeks from this time.—
Texas will send an adequate force at once, as is
supposed, to effect her objects—probablv 2,500
men. There are at Santa Fe about two hun
dred Texan camp followers, who take an inter
est in favor ofthe Texans. The troops of the
United States, under Col. Monroe, number about
five or six hundred, are about to be added. The
Texans in this city are of the opinion that Texas,
supported as she is by the sympathies of tlie
whole South, will arrest the United States mili
tary officers, and bring them to trial for obstruct
ing the operation of her laws. Should the ad
justment bill be defeated, there is no doubt that
Texas will absorb New Mexico, and if the Uni
ted States interfere, the Southern States will
give her all the aid she needs.”
From this it seems that you hold it to be the
“duty” of the army of the United States now
stationed at Santa Fe, to defend, without au
thority of law, the military occupaiion of that
portion of New Mexico lying this side of the Rio
Grande against any attempt of Texas to main
tain her claim by extending her jurisdiction
over it.
Your right to entertain such an opinion it is
not my object to question. But I wish to say to
you. lest you may be mistaken in the opinions of
others, that the first Federal gun that shall be
fired against the people of Texas, without the
authority of law, will be the signal for the free
men from the Delaware to the Rio Grande to
rally to the rescue. Whatever differences of
opinion may exist in the public mind touching
the proper boundary of Texas, nothing can be
clearer than that it is not a question to be decided
by the army. Be not deceived, and deceive not
others. “Inter arma leges silent .” When the
“Rubicon” is passed, the days of the Republic
will be numbered. You may consider the “gal
lant State of Texas” too weak for a contest with
the army of the United States. But you should
recollect that the cause of Texas, in such a con
flict, will be the cause of the entire South. And,
whether you consider Santa Fe in danger or not,
you may live to see that fifteen States of this
Union, with seven millions of people, “who,
knowing their rights, dare maintain them,” can
not be easily conquered! “Sapientibus verbum
sal.”
Yours, most respectfully,
ALEXANDER 11. STEPHENS.
The Highwayman and his Counsel.
I think it was at Preston Assizes, on the
Northern Circuit, about the year 1814, that 1
was instructed to defend a notorious highway
man ; and as the cause was expected to be
one of great difficulty, I received a fee of
five guineas. When the trial came on, the
judge discovered some flaw in the indictment
which was fatal to the whole proceedings,
and the prisoner was in consequence dis
charged without any of the particulars of the
case having been entered into.
I sat until late after the bar-dinner in the
evening, and the clock struck twelve as I en
tered my lodgings, which were in a lonely
i house a short distance from the town. The
folks had all retired to rest, and were by this
time deep anchored in the snoring depths of
a Lancashire hard sleep. I sat musing over
the fire for an hour, visions of future wool
sacks figuring to themselves shapes in the
burning coals, when aloud knock at the door
disturbed my meditations. My clerk, of
course, was absent; and supposing some cli
ent was in a hurry, or some ‘sublime rascal’
of an attorney was impatient, I went and
opened it myself.
A tall, gaunt man, wrapped in a loose
horseman’s coat, with a handkerchief from
which the tips ofhis ears peeped, red like ‘the
rose morn,’ with a ferocity of whisker, and
an obliquity of vision, and a deep scar on his
cheek, in a gruff voice thus addressed me :
‘Measter, I a’cuin for that five pound.’
‘What do you mean, my good fellow,’ said
I, feeling rather nervous.
‘I say I want that five pound that my ’tor
| ney, Mr. Shake, gave you this morning.’
‘Who are you sir?’ I inquired, by no means
; reassured by this mention of Mr. Shake’s
name.
‘I am Harry Hell-Fire, that was imprison
ed for highway robbery, and they’ve just let
me out so I thought I’d cum and have my
money, before 1 was oft’to London.’
‘But, my good follow,’ replied I, beginning
to feel extremely uncomfortable, ‘you can’t
claim the money : your case has been heard,
and you are acquitted ; what more could you
want ?’
‘Ah,’ retorted my client, the highwayman,
in a voice something between a growl and a
grin, ‘no thanks to you measter —it was the
old codger above in the wig that got me off;
Mr. Shark handed you over the five pounds
to make a speech for me, and you had no
speech to make, and you didn’t make a speech,
so hand out the money, measter.’
At this juncture the wind blew aside the
skirts of his coat, and the moonlight fell up
on the brass mounting of a horse-pistol; my
knees knocked under me, but I summoned
my courage, and, screwing up a bold face, I
replied—
‘But it is not professional, my good friend,
to return money, for you see if we were once
to do so ’
‘Oh, I don’t understand your trade, measter
counsellor; but I know you have had my
money, and done nothing for it; so hand it
back, —eorne, I can’t stop.’
With this he gently insinuated his left hand
and foot within the door, and tapped his fin
gers persuasively on a 1; ‘-ge blackthorn club
in his right hand. I looked backward upon
the darkness and loneliness of my room, for
ward to the solitary house and unfrequented
lane, and, putting my hand in my waistcoat
pocket, I took out the five-pound note and
handed it to him.
He wished me good night, with a knowing
leer, and I heard no more of him.
I never was so taken in but once, when
myself and two other barristers having exert
ed ourselves for a handsome fee, succeeding
in getting the two W s off for forgery.
They were acquitted—and by the time they
were a hundred miles at least from the assize
town, we found out that each of us, counsel,
attorneys, and all, had been liberally paid in
forged notes.—Recollections of a Sergeant at

Mystic Star Lodge, I
Columbus, July 23, 1850. \
Death, before whose power Kings and Poten
tates must fall, and the strongman bow, has en
tered our midst, grasped a pillar from our beau
tiful Temple, and deprived us of one with whom
we loved to meet and extend the hand of broth
erhood.
The sad news is announced to us that our
much esteemed and worthy brother, William
W. T aylor. departed this life at the residence
ot N. Mcßobinson Esq., on yesterday morning,
although a few short weeks ago, we met hiinjn
all the strength and beauty of youth.
While we are forced to submit to the dispen
sation ot an Allwise Providence, and drop the
tear of sympathy over the grave of the depart
ed, we are compelled to acknowledge another
verification of the Poet’s adage, “Death loves a
shining mark.”
If by us, then, his loss is deeply felt, who only
knew him as a brother, a friend, and a good citi
zen, how great must be his loss to parents and
relatives at home and at a distance—bound by
all the ties of affection and love, humanity is heir
to.
Though comparatively a stranger in our com
munity, during his .short sojourn among us, he
won the esteem and admiration of all who knew
him.
Be it therefore resolved, That Mystic Star
Lodge, as an association with which the deceas
ed was immediately connected, tenders its
warmest sympathies to the family of the deceas
ed at a distance, and to the relatives in this city,
in this, their time of trouble.
Resolved, That the furniture, regalia, and
implements of our Lodge, be clothed in black for
the space of three months, and that the mem
bers wear the usual badge of mourning for the
usual space of time, six months. Because
“Man goeth to his long home, and the mourners
go about the streets.”
Resolved, That a copy, of these resolutions
be handed to the family and relatives of the de
ceased—that they be entered on the records of
this Lodge, and that a copy be handed to each
of the city papers for publication.

Companions in arms! Death has again entered our

Our comrade, Corporal Wx. W. Taylor, is no more!
He died this morning at 15 minutes after 5 o’clock, af
ter a short illness which he bore with calmness and re
signation. Though he has been but comparatively a
short time among us, he had endeared himself by many
ties, and our grief at his loss, consoled by the reflection,
that his death was a quiet and happy one. “He died as
the good and virtuous alone may die ; Like one who
wraps the drapery of his couch around him, and lies
down to pleasant dreams.” Therefore
Resolved, That by the death of Coiporal Taylor,
this company has been deprived of one ot its most prom
ising members: a true soldier and a steadfast friend.
Resolved, That we will attend his funeral in a body,
this evening at 5 o’clock, and will wear the usual badge
of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That we condole with the abseDt relatives
and friends of the deceased, upon their loss, and that the
Secretary be requested to furnish them with a copy of
these resolutions.
Resolved, That these proceedings be published in the
city papers.

A true extract from the minutes of the City Light
Guard:. C ROGERS, Sectv Trea.
MARRIED,
In Barbour county, Ala. ou Thursday evening
the 18th inst., by the Rev. Geo. W. Cushman, of
Eufaula, the Rev. Jas H. Tickner, Pastor of
Trinity Church Columbus, to Miss A. E. Crofp,
daughter ol the Rev. Benj. Cropp of the former
place.
DIED,
In this citv, on the 14th instant, Thomas Bostwick,
a native of Ring’s county, Ireland, aged 30 years.
OBITUARY.
Died, in this city, on the 10th instant, Mrs. Elleanor
M. S. Ector, in the 23d year of her age. Her death
was sudden as it was unexpected. For several months
preceding her death, she had teen greatly afflicted, but
ner family and friends entertained fond hopes for her
speedy recovery, but alas! how uncertain is life. She
is gone to the bourne from whence no traveller returns;
where sickness and sorrow will be felt no more forever.
Her naturally mild and quiet disposition was fortified
by that Christian religion, which had sustained and
comforted her in all her afflictions, and gave her that
confidence, through faith, in the merits of her blessed
Redeemer, which was a lamp to guide her salelv
through the dark valley to her home in Heaven. In all
her afflictions, not a murmur was heard. When eter
nity was in view, when physicians lot hope, and friends
despaired, she in prospect of death, looked up with con
fidence, and expressed her assurance of a happy im
mortality, and besought those whom she loved on
earth, to meet her in Heaven, and there renew those
bonds of love, where parting will be no more. In early
life, she embraced religion and connected herself with the
M. E. Church, and up to the close of her existence had
lived in the hope of a blessed immortality beyond the
grave. The disconsolate husband, the neartstricken
mother, whose watchful care had been over her since
the dawn ofher existence, and whoso vigilance during
her long illness was sleepless; the distressed brothers and
sister, and her two little boys who know of what they
have been deprived, mourn not as they who have no
hope ; for their loss is her eternal gain. A. L. G.

Dr. Willcox’s Sarsaparilla,
TS decidedly the best Medicinal Extract for the cure
of all diseases arising from an impure state of the
blood, and other fluids, that has ever been brought
before the public. The following are a few of the com
plaints in which the power of this extraordinary Com
pound has been displayed, viz;
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Piles, Scald
Head, Pimples on the Face and Body, Liter Com
plaint, Rheumatism, Consumption, Erysipelas,
Cancers , Ulcers, and all Mercurial Diseases.
It is also a certain cure tor
Indigestion or Dyspepsia and General Debility,
and is especially valuable for
Female Complaints.
The origin of all diseases, it will undoubtedly he ad
mitted, arises from impurities of the blood and fluids
generally, or the action of morbid causes upon both flu
ids and solids—and whatever remedy will restore the
physical functions to a healthy state, and carry off the
cormpt matter which impregnates the blood and other
fluids, mutt necessarily be of great interest to mankind.
Many of the medicines now in use are wanting in
their sanitary effects, in consequence of the absence of
some essential article, or an injudicious combination of
the ingredients used.
Against this medicine no such charge exists. While it
does all that other Extracts of Sarsaparilla are said to
perform.it accomplishes what they leave undone.
Penetrating and Purifying the Blood
is only a part of its office ;
The Secretions of the Fluids Generally are Pro
moted by it,
and the internal muscular action relieved from that slug
gishness, which frequently lays the foundation of that
distressing complaint, generally known under the name of
Indigestion.
Its effect on the solids is such as to give to each part of
the muscular system that wholesome relaxation by
which the blood is enabled to extend its circulation free
ly, leaving the extremities as well supplied with life as
those parts least exposed to exterior changes.
The disfigured appearance of many of the human fam
ily by
Tumors, Abscesses, Swellings, Glandular and Cu
taneous affections,
may be attracted to the inactivity of the organs where
these affections occur. As the fungus makes its appear
ance in decaying vegetable matter, so do Tumors pre
sent themselves on the human frame whenever the ani
mation of its parts is partially suspended. This medi
cine, then, by its singular and peculiar action on the
solids, is eminently calculated to afford relief when,
without it, the scalpel would hasten the patent to a pre
mature grave.
This Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
In Chronic Constipation,
Quietly insinuates it elf through, and purifies the fluids,
relaxes the solids, and without draining the sufferer of
his energies, restores a healthy and permanent vital ac
tion.
In Rheumatic Complaints,
Its virtues are incomparable. The nervous system,
which, in these derangements, is deprived of its equili
brium, yields its negative action, assumes the positive,
and supplies the blood with that assistance in its arterial
transit which, in endeavoring to make, before caused
pain and inflammation. THERE IS SCARCELY
A CHRONIC AILMENT which may notbe greatly
relieved, and in most cases,entirely cured, by a judicious
and well-timed use of this remedy.
Nervous Diseases
and
Fe male Complaints ,
The most gratifying results have been effected. In
such cases, if taken as set forth in the directions, this
remedy will be found in reality an IJN VIGOR ATOR
AND, AS IT WERE, A LIFE-RESTORER.
To go through with the whole list of human ills is not
the design of this circular. The principle of the medi
cinal effect in cases for which this Sarsaparilla is a cer
tain cure, is all that is intended to be shown, and all that
is necessary to be known, to ensure its universal use.

July IS. 29 It
Among the many blessings attendant upon improve
ments in the social condition and the advances of our
race in intelligence, is the prolongation of human life.
With the increase of intelligence has grown up a knowl
edge for the elements of health, and a regard for them,
and eommensurately with the strides of science have we
acquired the means of arre-ting disease, and avert
ing its ravages. Notwithstanding the progress we have
made,statistics show that even now, one sixth of the
whole population die annually of consumption.
One ot the most important discoveries ot the age. in
ameliorating the condition ot this large class of suffering
humanity, is
Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry,
Nunda, Livingston, Cos., N. Y., June 20,1948.
Mr. S. W. Fowle—Dear Sir: Prompted by a sense of
gratitude from the benefits received from the use ol Wis
tar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry, I submit the following state
ment: Previous to my taking the Wild Cherry, I had
been obliged to ghe up my business in consequence ot a
severe affection of the lungs. In this distressed state I
was ordered to try the temedy for Consumption. 1 did
so, and in the course of a few weeks, I was restored to
comparative good health, so that I have been able to
attend to ordinary busiuess. Indeed, my present state ot
health far exceeds my most sanguine expectations.
Yours truly,

in offering the community this justly celebrated rem
edy for diseases of the throat aud lungs, it is not our
wish to trifle with the lives or health of the afflicted, but
frankly to lay before them the opinions of distinguished
men, and some of the evidences of its success,from
which they can judge for themselves. We sincerely’
pledge ourselves to make no wild assertions of fabe
statements of efficacy, nor will we hold out any hope
to suffering humanity which facts will not warrant.
Many proofs are here given, and we solicit an inquiry
from the public into all we publish, feeling assured they
will find them perfectly reliable, and the medicine worthy
their best confidence and patronage.

diseases it is intended to cure.”

PROF. CLEA VELAND, of Bowdoin College, Main
Writes —“I have witnessed the effects of your “Cher
ry Pectoral” in my own family and that of my friends,
and it gives me satisfaction to state in its favor that no
medicine I have ever known has proved so eminently
faithful in curing diseases of the throat and lungs.”
REV. DR. OSGOOD.
Writes—“ That he considers “Cherry Pectoral” ther
best medicine for Pulmonary Affections ever given to tho
public,” and states that “his daughter .after being obliged
to keep the room four months with a severe settled’
cough, accompanied by raising of blood, night sweats,
with the attendant symptoms of consumptions, com
menced the use of the ‘Cherry Pectoral/ and had
pletely recovered.”
HEAR THE PATIENT.
Dr. Ayer—Dear Sir: For two years I was afflicted
with a very severe cough, accompanied by spitting'of
blood and profuse night sweats. By the advice of my
attending physician I was induced to use your “Cherry
Pectoral,” and continued to do so till I considered myseß
cured,and ascribe the effect to your preparation.

which grew yearly worse until last autumn, it brought

cured me, and you may well believe me.
