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. Rise from the table with an appetite, and you will not be like to set down without cne. He that covereth a transgression, procur ed! love; but lie that repeateth a matter, teparateth very fiiends. ’Tis best to djpetxl on him who is abso lutely independent—i. e. God.—l 1 itn. vi. 17. Let no condition surprise you, and then you cannot he afflicted m tmy nmi We spir 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 ble, and places us out of the reach of for tune, though not out of the malice of it.— 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 en. Mead Quarters, Madison, May 22d, 1843.

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.)

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.
