To endure present evils with patience,
and wait for excepted good with long-suffer
ing, is equally the pait of the Christian and
the Hero. Those evils would break a proud
man’s heart, that would not break an hum
ble Christian’s sleep.

it must not vary with his fortune; there is
no condition so low but may have hopes ;
nor any ao high, that is out of the reach of
fears.
It is the excellency of a great mind to
triumph over all misfortunes and infelicities.
If I must make choice either of continual
prosperity, or continual adversity, I would
choose the latter; for in adversity, no good
man want comfort; whereas, in prospetity,
most men want discretion.
It is virtue that makes the mind invinci

When Zeno was told that all his goods were
drowned —Why, then, saidhe. Fortune hath
a mind to make me a Philosopher; nothing
can be above him that is above fortune ; no
infelicity can make a wise man quit his
ground.
Nothing would fortify us more against
any manner of accidents, than the possess
ing our souls with this maxim, that—VV’e
never can be hurt but by ourselves. If onr
reason be whtft it ought, and our actions ac
cording to it, we are invulnerable.
Ths Deity. —There is no way in which
tbe young can better learn the sentiments
of devotion, or the old preserve them, than
by cultivating those habits of thought and
ohaervation, which convert the scenes of na
ture into the temple of God ; which make
us see the Deity in every appearance we
behold and change the World, in which the
ignorant and the thoughtless nee only tlie
reign of time and chance, into the kingdom
of the living and ever-present God of the
universe. Reflections of this kind arise very
naturally amidst the scenes we at present
behold. In the beautiful language of the
wiseman,—‘‘The winter is over and gone,
the flowers appear on the earth, and the time
of the sing ngof the bitds is come.” In these
momenta we are w’itnrswn§ the roont Kwu(%
ful and astonishingspectneie that nature ever
presents to our view. The earth, as by an
annual miracle, aiises. as it wete, from her
grave, into life and beauty. It is in j pe
culiar manner the season of happiness. The
vegetable world issp/eading beauty and fra
grance ami*.Wthe dwelling of men. The an
imal creation is rising into life; millions of
seen, and myriads of unseen beings, are en
joying their new-born existence ; and hail
ing with inarticulate voice the power which
gave them birth. Is there a lime when we
can better learn the goodness of the univer
sal God I Is it r.otwiseto go abroad into
nature, and associate His name with every
thing which at this season delights the eye
and gratifies the heart l—Alison.
A Fairy Funeral. —There it was, on a
little river island, that once, whether sleep
ing or waking we know not, we saw cele
brated a Fairy’s Funeral. First we heard
small pipes playing, as ifno bigger than hal
low rushes that whisper to the night winds;
and more piteous than aught that thrills
♦rom earthly instrument was the scarce au
dible dirge ! It seemed to float over the
stream, every foam-bell emitting a plaintive
note, till the airy anthem came floating over
our couch, and then alighted without foot
steps among the heathen. The pattering of
little feet was then heard, ns if living crea
tures were arranging themselves in order,
Bnd then there was nothing hut a more or
dered hymn. The harmony was like the
melting of musical dew-drops, arid sang,
without words, of sorrow and death. We
opened our eyes, or rather sight came to
them when closed, and dream was vision !
Hundieds of creatures, no taller than the
crest of the lap-wing, and all hanging down
their veiled heads, stood in a circle on a green
plat among the rocks; and in the midst was
• bier, framed as it seemed with flowers
unknown to the Highland hills ; and on the
bier was aFairy, lying with uncovered face,
pale as the lilly, and motionless as the snow.
The dirge grew fainter and fainter, and then
died quite away; when two of the creatures
came from the circle, and took their station,
one at the head and the other at the foot of
tbe bier. They sang alternate measures,
not louder than the twittering of the awa
kened wood-lark, before it goes up the dewy
air, but dolorous and full of the desolation
ol death. The flower-bier stirred ; for the
spot on which it lay sank down, and in a few
moments the green sward was smooth as
ever —the very dews glittering above the
buried Fairy. A cloud passed over the
moot: ; and with a choral lament, the fu
neral troop sailed duskily away, heard afar
off, so still was tbe midnight solitude ot the
glen. Then thou returnest at shut of day, !
cheerful even in thy weariness, to thy—
ground cell within the knoll, where as fan
cy dreams the Fairiesdwell—and silent peo
ple iu the land of peace. —Recreations of
Christopher North.
The Grandeur of Man.-— The birth of any
infant is a tar greater event than the pro
duction of the sun. The sun is only a lump
of senseless matter ; it sees not its own
light; it feels not its own heat; and, with
all its grandeur, it will cease to be ; but that
infant, beginning only to breathe yesterday,
is possessed of reason, claims a principle
wfautely superior to all matter, and will live
tuft thdafSS of eternity.
A Recipe fur Happiness. —lt is simply
when you rise in the morning to form a res
olution to makefile day a happy one to a
fellow cieature. It is easily done—a left
oil’garment, to the man who needs it ; a
kind word to the sorrowful; an encourag
ing expression to the striving—trifles in
themselves light as air—will doit at least,
for the twenty-four hours ; and if you are
young, depend upon it. it will tell when you
are old ; rest assured it will send you gent
ly ami happily down the stream of time to
eternity. Look at the result: You send
tine person —only one happily through the
day; that is three hundred and sixty-five in
the course of the year—and supposing you
live forty years only after you commence
this course, you have made fourteen thou
sand six hundred human beings happy, at
all events for a time. Now, worthy reader,
is not this simple 1 and is it not worth ac
complishing 1 We do not often indulge in
a moral dose—but thisis so small a pill, one
that needs no red current jelly to disguise its
flavor, and requires to be taken hut once in
a day, that we feel warranted in prescri
bing it. It is most excellent for digestion,
and a producer of pleasant slumber.—Lon
don Atlas.
Hope. —The Cliristain has many motives
to lead him to press his way onward to the
prize which is at the end of the race; but
notie shines with suc.li peculiar beauty and
lustre as Hope. It animates him, and lii.s
watchword continually is, onward, otuvard.
Hope may well he styled a star that never
sets, for in the darkest hour of adversity,
when all is sorrow and gloom, or when
friends are separated no more to meeton the
earth, this star bids us look forward to the
heaven of rest prepared for the righteous,
where all sin, sickness and sorrow will he at
an end, and where we can bask in the sun
shine of God's love forever. This should
urge the Christian on and though Death and
Hell should try to impede his progress, he
has Jesus for his Iriend, and he has said l:e
will never forsake those who put their trust
in him. Well may wc exclaim,
Hope, hope, sweet hope;
Beit evereosimple, there's nothing like Hope.
Baptist Register.
Spanish Hospitality. —A noble trait in
the character of the Spaniard, is thus warm
ly eulogized by Borrow, in his * Bible in
Spain
‘* To tbe honor of Spain he it spoken, it
is one of the countries in Europe where po
verty is never int ulted nor looked upon with
contempt. Even at an inn, the poor man
is never spurned from the door; and if not
harbored, is at least dismissed with fair
words, and consigned to the mercies of God
and his mother. This is as it should be.
I laugh at the bigotry std prejudice of
Spain; I abhor the cruelty and ferocity
which have cast a stain of eternal infant! -
on her history ; but I say f>r
that in their social intercourse tin people in
the worldVxTfibit a juster feeling of what, is
due to t.Ve dignity of human nature, or bet
ter understand tbe behavior which it behoves
a man to adopt towards his fellow being.”
The Sabbath.— The institution of the&o/A
hath is merciful and benevolent; it allevi
ates the suffering of beasts of burden—it
affords a needful relaxation of human toil
—it furnishes the most important means of
grace, and presents the most favorable op
portunity for proclaiming the gospel mes
sage of pardon to the fallen and guilty chil
dren of men. On this day, Christians are
called to remember the glory of God in his
creative power; the grace of God in his re
deeming love; and to anticipate that of
which the Sabbath is a type —the everlast
ing rest that remained) for the people of
God.
Man is the higher sense of our planet ;
the slur which connects it with the upper
world ; the eye which it turns toward heav

IMPROVEMENT in whatever regard* the happi
ness and welfare of our race is constantly on the
march to perfection, and with each succeeding day
some npw problem is solved, or some profound eecrpt
revealed, having an important and direct bearing over
man’s highest destinies. If we take a retrospective
view over the past twenty years, how is the mind strnck
with wonder ! What rapid strides has science made
in every department of civilized life! particularly in
that which relates to the knowledge of the human sys
tem in health and disease. How valuable and indis
pensable nre the curative means recently discovered
through the agency of Chemistry ! How does the im
agination kindle and onr admiration glow at the inge
nuity, the near approach to the standard of perfection
of the present time ! Through the elaborate investiga
tions of Physiology, or the science of Life, and the Pa
thology of prevalent diseases, much valuable practical
knowledge has been gained. In consequence of be
coming acquainted with the organization,the elements
of the various tissues and structures of the system, rem
edies have been sought after anti discovt rpd exactly
adapted to combine w iih, neutralize and expel morbific
matter, the cause of disease, and siihs'iiiite healthy ac
tion in its place. The beautiful simplicity of this mode
of treatment is not only suggested bv the pathology of
diseases, not only grateful io the sufferer, but perfectly
in consonance with the operations of Nature, and snr.
isfactorv to the views and reasonings of every intelli
gent, reflecting mind. It is thus that SANDS’ SAR
SAPARILLA, a scientific combination of essential
principles of the most valuable Vegetable substances,
operates upon the system. The Sarsaparilla i com
bined with the most effectual md“, the most snluinrv
productions, the mOs! potent simples of the Vegetable
kingdom; and its unprecedented success in the resto
ration to health those who bad Jong pined under the
most distressing chronic maladies, has given it an ex
alted character, furnishing as it docs evidence of its own
intrinsic value, and recommending it to the afflicted in
terms the afflicted only can know. It has long been
a most important desideratum in the practit e of medi
cine to obtain a remedy similar to this—one that would
act on the liver,stomach and bowels with all the pre
cision and potency of mineral preparations, vet with
out anv of their deleterious effects upon the vital pow
ers of the system.
attention of the reader is res
pectfully called to the following certificates. Howev
er great achievements have heretofore been made by
the use of this invaluable medicine, yet daily experi
ence show s resells e'ill more remarkable. The pro
prietors here avail themselves of the opiiorliiniiv of say
ing it is a source of constant satisfaction that they are
made the means of relieving such an amount of suffer
ing.
Newark. (N J.) December 15, 1812.
Messrs. Sands—Gentlemen : Words cannot express
the gm’imde I f<el for your treatment to me. a stran
ger suffering under one of the most Innilisome diseases
Hint nature i> capable of bearing. The rl : ease w iih
which 1 was niflictcff coirr.o.'cncf and with inflamma'ion
of the eves, in ihc venr 183 ti, wlfiiWp,e.ni*ed almost to
tal blindness. For this I w ns reated and finally trife)w\
hut the remedies were simh ns to eause the develop
ment of a scrofulous affection on tny left arm near the
elbow.
The pain extended front the shoulder to the end of
my fingers, and for two years my sufferings were be
yond descriplion, I tried various remedies and consult
ed different Physicians in New York, and amongst
them the latr Dr. Bushe, who told me die disease was
caused hv the large quantity of mercury taken to cure
the inflammation of tnv eves.
My sufferings continued, the arm enlarged, tumours
formed in different places, and in a few months dis
charged, making ten running ulcers at one tirne.some
abote and some below the elbow, and the discharge
was so offensive that no person could hear to he in the
room where I was I then applied to another distin
guished Physician, who told mejimpntatinn of the arm
was thp nnlv thing that colli! savp my life, as j- was
impossible to cure so dreadful a disease : but as I was
unwilling to consent to it he recommended me to use
Swaim’s Panacea freely, which 1 did without deriving
but little benefit
For three years I w as ttnnb'e to rake mv band to my
head or comb my hair, and the scrofula now made its
appearance on my head, destroying the bone in differ
ent places, causing extensive ulcerations and 1 feared
it might reach and destroy the brain—the head swelled
very much, accompanied with violent pain, numerous
external remedies were recommended, hut ihry did no
good. About a year since I was taken severely PI with
a swelling of the body front head to foot, so that 1 was
entirely helpless; the Doctor advised me to go to the
Hospital, for lie did not understand inv case ; for the
lust lew months I had been afflicted with a severe pain
in both sides, m times so hard I could scarcely get mv
breath A hacking cough constantly annoyed me. and
this combined with my other maladies, rendered me
truly miserable.
Such, gentlemen, had been my situation for seven
years of my life w hen 1 commenced the use of your
Sarsaparilla, but ns my case was considered hopeless,
and the near |ir- spect of a speedy dissolution seemed
inevitable. I fell but little encouragement to persevere.
The persuasion </ friends induced me to try your med
icine, which in a few days produced agteat change in
my system generally, by causing an appetite,relieving
the pains, and giving me strength ; as success inspires
confidence, I was encouraged to persevere, my pains
grew easier, my strength returned, food relished, (he
uleers healed, new flesh formed, and I once more felt
within me that I might get well I have now used die
Sarsaparilla nl>o.t two months and am now like n dif
ferent heing. The arm that was to be AMPtJTATrn
has entirely healed, a thing that seemed impossible. I
can scarcely believe the evidence of mv own eyes, but
such is the fact; and it is now- as useful as at any pe
riod of my life, and my general health is better ilian it
has been lor years past.
Health ; what magic in the word ! how many thou
sands have sought it in foreign lands and sunny climes,
and have sought in vain ! Yet it came to me when I
had given up to die, and as I feel the pulsations of health
coursing through my veins, tny whole heart and soul
go forth in fervent gratitude to the author of all oursure
mercies, that he has been graciously pleased to bless
the nieasis made use of.
Truly have you proved yourself the Good Samaritan
to the afflicted, (l>r next to my Creator my life is indebt
ed to you (or rather) the use of your invaluable Sarsapa
rilla. The value of such a medicine is countless be
yond price; money cannot pay for it. I have been
raised from death. I may sav, for mv friends and myself
thought it impossible that I could recover. And now,
gentlemen, suffer me to add another proof certified too
bv my friends and guardians ns a just acknowledgment
of the virtues of your health restoring Sarsaparilla.—
That the afflicted may also use it and enjoy the bene
fits it alone can confer, is the liearifeli, fervent wish of
their and your friend, MARTHA CONLIN.
I know Martha Conlm and believe what she states
in this document to be perfectly true.
