Prayer. —The ernrmatit of darkness in
which the Atheist .shrouds liis soul, shuts out
the beautiful stars that gleam even in sor
row’# sky. The man who cannot approach
his God, even as a sou coming to his father,
is separated by an eternal wall from thou
sands of the choicest blessings of this life.—
Sorrow falls on the heart of the godless be
ing like clods on a coffin, hiding it forever
from the glorious sunlight and the ever gush
ing radiance of nature ; hut though the earth
idols of the Christian be broken to pieces, t
though his heart be trodden under by the
heel of oppression, still the eye of his inward ;
sight is fixed on the pillar of fire that glides ;
in noiseless beauty before liis soul, and flings
its rosy shadow on the sapphire walls of the
promised land. There is a keen knife that
most of us have felt pruning (oh God ! how
remorselessly) the breast of its tenderesi
hopes, of its sweet, tear-nurtured flowers,
stripping life of its loveliness and making
the world a gaudy mockery. This knife
cuts the heartstrings, and when every cord
es hope, wher> every flowery wythe of love
binding the atheist’s soul to life is sundered,
down he sinks like a weight of lead beneath
the murky waves of despair. How differ
ent with the christiuo—how different with
lirrr who can- cast his eyes above, and say,
even while the death-dew is gathering on
his blow, “ there is my home.” The Chris
tian is not exempt from sorrow, and his lips
hut too often are steeped in bitterness ;. hurt
his soul is like a bird bound ’ to> the earth,
and 1 each affection snapped, each heartstring
cut, gives anew freedom to the diamond
dusted wings of hope! Oh, Prayer is a
gentle-bridei and she throws her white arms
around the weary soul and soothes the
heart’s deep Bgony on her generous br east!
Filial Affection. —A dutiful and obedient
daughter always makes a devoted and faith
ful wife. Let no man as he values his own
happiness, marry a woman of an unfilial na
ture. In spite of the guile of lago, there
was much wisdom in his remark to Othello,
when exciting the Moor to suspicion of Des
demona’s integrity, “She has deceived her
father, and may thee !”
There is no trait of endearment more
pleasing than the confiding tenderness ofa
young maiden in the care and vigilance of
her mother. If she he an only child the
pleasure with which we contemplate her si
lent ami cheerful acquiescence in every ma
ternal dictate is greatly enhanced. When
the sentiment of love is* first awakened in
the heart of sudi a one it seems rather to
deepen than divert the stream of filial affec
tion. No tnan should be so selfish or so
unwise as to desire the lessening of that
pure and holy obedience, which is the best
assurance of his own enduring felicity.—
Happy is he who has won for himself the
fond love of a young creature, whose life
has been guarded by a mother’s prayers,
and into whose spirit the gentle influences
of a mother’s mind have descended, like
dews into the petals of a Rower, which
might else have faded in the morning of life.
God in Native. —And has then this world
of the Gods indeed vanished from nature ?
Do not these very benevolent powers,
which are concealed in iheir productions,
testify, that the Divinity is there, and speaks
as before into men,even if theydosomelimes
forget the beauty of the gifts in the uses
which they draw from them ? The Divin
ity gives himself to his creation, incorpo
rates himself in it.—O! this must be an
eternal truth. Is there any one among us,
whndoes not perceive God in nature, who
has not there read his words I But God
manifests himself in the Christian Revela
tion otherwise than in the Grecian Mythos.
As God gives himself to the people through
the Word, so he gives himself to Nature in
the Sun, —and men and flowers drink from
the same fountain of love.”
Angelica was silent, and seemed to he
recollecting herself, then she continued with
a beaming smile :
“ When the Sun blesses and nourishes
the |duiits with its warmth and light, (for
wbat the Suit does not bless and nourish,
has no power) it says to them : •• Take
and eat, it is 11” But he does not divide
himself into innumerable fragments, but re
mains in heaven the same.”— Frederika
Bremer.
The Poor, the Great, and the Christian.
—Those who stand ou the high places of
the earth understand not what necessity,
what suffering means ; they know not what
it is to a noble mind to be obliged, like the
worms, to crawl upon the eaith sot nourish
ment, because it has not strenih to endure
famine. Life moves around them with so
much grace, splendor, and beauty ; they
drink of life’s sweetest wine, and dance in
a charming intoxication. They find noth
ing within them, which can enable them to
understand- the real sufferings of the poor.
They scatter grain with benevolent hand
for little sparrows ; they raise the glow
worm from the giotind to enlighten their
rooms in the dark night ; but they love
only themselves, and look at maukind ouly
in their own narrow circle.”
” How unjust you are,” answered the
Countess with something of noble indigna
tion. “You describe the barbarous idlers
of a time which lias long passed away. It
is true, I will not deny it, there is an enjoy
ment in being placed by one’s position in
life above the crowd, and looking down with
a glance of kingly pride upon those who
look up to us; —yes, it may be a kind of
enjoyment to humble others ; —but yet there
is a greater one.—”
“ And that is !”
•• To humble one’s sel£ and to do hom
age to a higher power, and to feed one’s
self poor in the midst of all worldly splen
dor, compared with him in whom the Spir
it of God- dwells. Ah, Angelica ! a soul
aspiring to the Highest dwells also in the
breasts of those who are surrounded by
the splendor and wealth of the earth. And
when a beam of God's glory manifests it- j
self, they gladly leave all. and devote them- i
selves to follow and to worship it.”— Mist j

NEW BOOTS.
Os all our troubles here below, j
The werry worst 1 knows on,
Is the insimvaiin’ vay
Anew boot always goes on. •
You goes and tries it on, you does,
It seems a perfect fit.
And lets you walk a square alleast,
Before it hurls a bit.
You feels it then, I feels it now.
Your fool seems all on firs ;
You vants to lay down in ihe mud,
You almost has to swear.
Tbe world to yon is one vast boot;
Vith nought but pain inside it;
If such a thing as joy there is.
You vonders where they hido it.
Foots causes half our misery,
And more than half onr crimes,
For tight fits sours ihe werry best
Os tempers, at such limes.
A Bite . —Alfonso Bombardi, a celebrated
sculptor of the emperor Charles V., was a ‘
great coxcomb. He got punished one day J
by a young lady at Bolonga, to whom he ’
took it into his head to make love in a fopish
manner. She was his partner in a ball, in
: the midst of which he turned to her, and
heaving a profound sigh, as he looked in her
face with what he thought an ineffable srrft
ness in his eyes, and, we suppose, with
some fantastic withering gesture, “ If ’tis
not love I feel, what is it!” “Perhaps,”
said the young lady, “something bites you.” (
This story got abroad, aud Alfonso became
the jest of the city.
Aristocracy with a vengeance. —“ How
the deuce came your eye out 1” said an im
pudent, inquisitive fellow the other day, to
one who peered through a single optic.—
“ Why,” says lie, “ it is very vulgar to see
with two eyes—every body does it ; so I
had one of mine taken out, that I might
differ from the vulgar heard !”
Equivocal. —An obituary notice in an
Eastern paper annouces the death of a
young man, aged 23 years, who “ lived and
died to the entire satisfaction of his bereaved
parents and friends.”
Botanic Medicines.
TiR. S. H. B. LEWIS respectfully informs his friends
” and the public that he has just received, from Bal
timore, a supply of fresh and genuine Botanic Medi
cines, which he olhre al prices which cannot fail to !
give satisfaction. Among the many articles and com
pounds which he has for sale, may he found (he fol
lowing :
Spiee Billers, Wine Bitters, Dyspepsia Bitter#— nil of
which are invaluable medicines for Indigestion, Dys
pepsia, Jaundice, Cholera Morbus, Bilious complain!*,
and ali complaints arising from on impure state of the
Blood
Composition : This is an excellent compound, and
is a particularly useful and convenient family medicine
in sudden colds, febrile attacks, hoarseness, sore throat,
coughs, pains in the stomach and other parts of the bo
dy, rheuniafsm, headache, and the various affections
of the skin.
Female Restorative : an excellent lonic, designed
particularly lor the complaints off emales, such ns fluor
albus, weakness of the uterine organs, &c. It is also
beneficial in loss of appetite, dyspepsia, coughs, difficul
ty of breathing, and a low and exhausted ‘state of the
system
No. 6: a stimulant, and is useful in cholic, pains of
the stomach and bowels, coughs, tightness of the breast,
headache, nausea, giddiness, &.e It is of unequalled
value for bathing sprains, bruises, and as an application
to fresh wound*, cuts, offensive sore* and part* that
are approaching a state of mortification.
Dysentery or Cholera Syrup—This is an invaluable
remedy in diorhcEa, dysentery, the summer complaint*
of children, and pains or soreness of the stomach and
bowels
Atiti-.'-'pasmodic Tincture: This preparation is used
in violent or critical cases of disease, such as convul
sions, locked-jaw, croup, delirium tremens, apoplexy,
poisoning, hydrophobia, and suspended animation. It
traverses the system with wonderful rapidity and raro
ly fails to rcsto're the patient.
Cough Balsam, Cough Syrup and Cough Powders :
These are excellent preparations,.aud are beneficial in
coughs, croups, paitnin the breast, difficulty of breath
ing, and asthma. They are invaluable in these com
plaints.
Life Liniment: There is no better liniment than this
for Rheumatism; indeed, when properly and faithfully
applied, it is a svecific. It is superior to any other in
use for bathing sprains, bruises and parts that are the
seat of pain.
Stimulating Liniment: This is another prepartion of
great value.
Vermifuge Mixture —a sure remedy for worms. It
is wcrlh sll the pink- root and senna in the universe !
Alterative Mixture : This mixture is of unequalled
value for the bowel complaints of children. It will gen
erally cure when all other remedies have failed.
Also, Nerve Powder, Cayenne, Golden Seal, Bayber
ry, Prickly Ash, Butternut Extract; Lobelia—seed,
herb and tincture: Myrrh, Quinine, Feverand Ague
Pills, Anti-Bilious Pills, Anti-Fever Powders; Syringes,
&.C. tec.
All the above compounds and articles are perfectly
innocent, and may be taken almost with impunity.—
Unlike the poisonous drugs of the Miaeral Practice, if
they do no good they will do no harm. Give them a
pair trial, and you will be satisfied of their superiority
and excellence.
No. 6, by the ounce or gallon—Composition in any
quantity—cheaper and batter than have ever been sold
at any store in Madison
N. B Dr. LEWIS devotes liis time exclusively to
the various,branches of his Profession, and hopes to
deserve, as well as receive, a share of public patronage.

DR. SPENCER’S VEGETABLE PILLS.
A PUBLIC BLESSING!
THESE Pills have long been know n and appreciated
J- for tlieirextrnordinnry nnd immediate powers n( re
storing perfect health to persons, suffering under nearly
every kind of disease to w hich the human frame is lia
ble.
They are particularly recommended to all those per
sons who are afflicted with any kind of a chronic or
lfngiring complaint, as there is no medicine before
the public which has so natural nnd happy < fleet upon
the system in correcting the stomach and liver, and to
the formation of healthy chyle, and thereby purifying
the Mood.
They are acknowledged by the hundreds nnd thou
sands w ho are using them, to be not only the most mild
and pleasant in their operation, hut the most perfectly
innocent, safe nnd efficient medicine ever offered to
the public. Those wlnt once make a trial of these Pills,
never afterward feel willing to be w ithout them, and
call again nnd again for more; w hich is sufficient proof
of their good qunlities.
HEADACHE—SICK OR NERVOUS.
Those who have suffered nnd are weary of sufleis
ing with this distressing complaint, will find Spencer’-
Veuetable Pills n remedy at once certain and imme
diate in its effects One single dose of the Pills taken
soon as the headache is lell coming on, will cute it in
one half hour entirely.
Asa remedy ir Summer and Bowel Complaints,
they display their wonderful powers to admiration, and
are far superior to any thing in use for these com
plaints
In Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, they stand un
rivaled. Manv have been cured in a few weeks, after
having suffered under the dreadful complaint for years.
In Habitual Costiveness they are decidedly superi
or to any Vegetable Pill ever brought before the public;
and one 25 cent box will establish their surprising vir
tues, and place them beyond the reuch of dtubt in the
estimation of every individual.
Thevare invulnerable in nervous and hypochondri
acal affections, loss of appetite, and all complaints to
which females alone are subject.
They are mild in their action, nnd convey almost
immediate conviction of their utility from the first dose.
They may be taken by persons of anv age ; and the
feeble, the infirm, the, nervous nnd delicate are strength
ened by their operation, because they clear the system
of bad humors, quiet nervous irritability, and invariubly
produce sound health.
Upwards of three hundred and seventy thousand
boxes of these inestimable Pills have been sold within
the last twelve months in three States alone, nnd more
than three times the same quantity in other Slates.
As an nnti-hiilions medicine, no family should he
without them. A single trial of them is more satisfac
tory than a thousand certificates.
(KT* Tint above Medicine is for sale, in Madison, by
C. F. HOFFMAN ; in Athens, at the Drug Simp of
Dr-Ware; in Wakinsville, by Wm. Murray; in
Crawfordville, by D. S Andetson, and, on enquiry,
may be found in all the villages throughout the Stute.

DR. HULUT
Vegetable Fever 4’ Ague. 4’ anti-Fevcr Pills.
THE proprietor of these justly celebrated Pills (from
the experience of thelast three years) feels himself
fully authorized in asserting and warranting his pills to
be the most innocent and perfectly efficient remedy
ever offered to the public, and is renllv what it purport's
to be, a certain, speedy nnd permanent cure for all ca
ses whatever of ague and fever or chills and fever.
Such has been its very great succes* in all those dis
tricts of country where it has been used, that it lias
supplanted almost every other remedy ; and bv its uni
form certainty in curing'this very disagreeable nnd
sometimes distressing disease, has gained the entire
confidence of the public nnd approbation of the medi
cal faculty.—lndeed many of the most prominent and
distinguished practitioners, in various parts of the South
ern and Western country, have such confidence in its
superior efficacy, that they give it a decided preference
over all other remedies, and uniformly prescribe it in
their practice for this disease. The superiority which is
claimed for this medicine over allothers, is, that, inde
pendent of its being a speedy and certain cure, it is the
most perfectly innocent remedy known.
Infants, females, and persons of the most delicate
constitutions, may lake it without the least fear of any
unpleasant effect, nnd will find their general health and
vigor restored by its use.
The above Medicine is for sale in Madison, by C. F.
HOFFMAN; in Athens, nt the Drug Shop of Dr.
Ware; in Watkinsville, by Wm. Murray; in Craw
fordville, by D. S. Anderson, and, on enquiry, mav
