A MOTHER’S NURSERY SONG.
[From Miss Bremer’s ** Home ’*]
Theresitteih a dove so while and lair,
All on the hly spray,
And she listeneili how, lo Jesus Chris!.
The little children pray.
L>;htly she spreads her friendly wings,
And to heaven's gate hath sped,
And unto the Father in heaven she hears
The prayers which the children have said.
And back she come* from heaven's gate,
And brings—that dove so mild—
From the Father in heaven, who hears her speak,
A blessing for every child.
Then, children, lift up a pious prayer,
It hears whatever you say,
That heavenlv dove, so white and fair,
That sits on tire lilly spray.
The Swiftness of Time. —The day and
the night succeed each other, the rotation
of the seasons diversify the year, the sun
rises, attains the meridian, declines and sets,
and the moon every night changes its form.
If the wheel of life which rolls thus silent
ly along were to pass on through undistin
guishable uniformity, we should never
mark its approaches to the end of its course;
if one hour were like another, if the pas
sage of the sun did not show that the day is
wasting, if the change of seasons did not
impress upon us the flight of the year, if the
parts of time were not variously colored, we
should never discern their departure or suc
cession, but should live thoughtles of the
past and careless of the future. Without
will and perhaps without power to compete
the periods of life, or to compare the time
which is already lost with that which may
probably remain.
But the course of time is so visibly mark
ed, that it is even observed by nations who
have raised their minds very little above
animal instinct ; there are human beings,
whose language does not supply them with
words, by which they can number five ; but
we know of none who have not names for
day and night, for summer and winter ; yet
these admonitions of nature, however for
cible, however importunate, are too often
vain ; and many who mark with accuracy
the lapse of time, appear to have little sen
sibility of the decline of life. Every man
has something to do, which he procrasti
nates ; every man has faults to conquer,
which he delays to combat; from this inat
tention, so general, and so mischievous, let
it be every man’s study to exempt himself.
Let him who desires lo see others happy,
make haste to give while the gift can be
enjoyed; and let him who seeks his own
happiness, reflect that while he forms his
purpose the day rolls on, and the night
comes when no man can work.— Johnson.
Believe me, I speak it deliberately and
with full conviction, I have enjoyed many
of the comforts of life, none of which I
wish to esteem lightly ; often have I been
charmed with the beauties of nature, and
refreshed with her bountiful gifts. I have
spent many an hour in sweet meditation,
and in reading the most valuable produc
tions of the wisest men. I have often been
delighted with the conversation of ingen
ious, sensible, and exalted characters ; my
eyes have been powerfully attracted by the
finest productions of human ait, and my
ears by enchanting melodies. I have found
pleasure when calling into activity the pow
ers of my own mind ; when residing in my
own native land, or traveling through for
eign parts ; when surrounded by laige and
splendid companies—still more, when mov
ing in the small endearing circle of my
own family ; yet, to speak the truth before
God, who is my judge, I must confess I
know not any joy that is so dear to me;
that so. fully satisfies the inmost desires of
my mind ; that so enlivens, refines, and el
evates my whole nature as that which I de
rive from religion, from faith in God ; as
one who not only is the parent of men, but
has condescended, as a brother, to clothe
himself with our nature. Nothing affords
roe greater delight than a solid hope that I
partake of his favours, and rely on his nev
er-failing support and protection. • • * * *
He, who has been so often my hope, my re
fuge, my confidence, when I stood upon the
brink of an abyss, where 1 could not move
one step forward; He, who in answer to
my prayer, has helped me when every pros
pect of help vanished ; that God who has
safely conducted me, not merely through
flowery paths, but likewise across precipi
ces and burning sands ; may this God be
thy God, thy refuge, thy comfort, as he has
been mine!— Lavatcr.
Lfind the following passage in an excel
lent sermon preached at the funeral of a
gentleman who was an honor to his country,
and a more diligent, as well as successful
inquirer into the works of nature, than any
other our nation has ever produced ; “ lie
had the profoundest veneration for the great
Gpd. of heaven and earth that I have ever
observed in any person. The very name
of God was never mentioned by him with
out a pause and visible stop in his discourse;
in which one, that knew him most particu
larly above twenty years, has told me that
he was so exact, that he does not remem
ber to have observed him once to fail in it.”
Every one knows the veneration which
waa paid by the Jews to a name so great,
wonderful, and holy. They would not let
it enter even into their religious discourses.
What can we then think of those who make
use of an tremendous a name in the ordina
ry expressions of their anger, mirth, and
moat impertinent passions 1 Os those who
admit it into the most familiar questions and
assertion*, ludicrous phrases, and works of
humor l not to mention those who violate
it by solemn perjuries. It would be an af
front to reason to endeavor to set forth the
horror and profatieness of such a practice.
The very mention of it exposes it sufficient
ly to those in whom the light of nature, not
to say religion, ia not utterly extinguished.
—• Spectator.
However vauntingly men may bear them
selves in the hour of prosperous villany,
proofs enough have existed of the fears of
ruilt, when the hour of calamity approaches.
Why did eur first parents hide themselves
after their sin, when they heard the voice of
the Lord in the garden 1 Why did Cain
alarm himself at Ireing pursued bv ihe peo
ple of the earth ? Why shrunk Belshazzar
fiom the hand-writing on the wall 1 Adam
had before heard the voice of the Lord,
and trembled not; Cain knew that no wit
ness of the murder of his brother existed ;
Belshazzer understood not the meaning of
the writing upon the wall; and yet they all,
after the commission of their several deeds
of sin. trembled at the voices that were
heard, and the signs that were heard, and
the signs that were seen. Whence, then,
was this ? It was because the conscience
told them, that there is an Eye to which all
hearts are open, and whispered the impor
tant truth, which has since been proclaimed
aloud to all the world, that, “ doubtless
there is a God, that judgeth the earth.” —
Mathew.

DR. SPENCER’S VEGETABLE PILLS.
A PUBLIC BLESSING !
rPHESE Pills have long been known and appreciated
for their extraordinary and immediate powers of re
storing perfect health to persons, suffering under nenrly
every kind of disease to which the human frame is lia
ble.
They are particularly recommended to all those per
sons who nre afflicted with any kind of a chronic or
LINGERING complaint, ns there is no medicine before
the public which has so natural and happy effect upon
Ihe system in correcting the stomach and liver, and to
the formation of healthy chyle, and thereby purifvitm
the Mood. ’ ”
They are acknowledged by the hundreds and thou
sands who arc using them, tube not only the most mild
and pleasant in their operation, but the most perfectly
innocent, safe and efficient medicine ever offered to
the public. Those who once make a trial of these Pills,
never afterward feel wiiitng to be without them, and
call again and again for more; which is sufficient proof
of their good qualities.
HEADACHE-SICK OR NERVOUS.
Those who have suffered and nre weary of suffets
ing with this distressing complaint, will find Spencer’-
Vegetable Pills a r e tiled I’ at once certain and imme
diate in iis cffecis One sing'e doseof the Pills taken
soon as the headache is lelt coming on, will cure it in
one half hour entirely.
Asa remedy ir Summer and Dowel Complaints,
they display their wonderful powers to admiration, and
are far superior to any thing in use for these com
plaint?.
In Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, they stand un
rivaled. Many have been cured in a few weeks, after
having suffered under the dreadful complaint for year*.
In Habitual Costive.viss they nre decidedly superi
or to any Vegetable Pill crer brought before the public;
and one 25 cent box will establish their surprising vir
tues,and place them hevoml the reach of dtubt in the
estimation of every individual.
Thev nre invulnerable in nervous and hypochondria
a cal a flections, loss of appetite, and all complaints to
which females alone nre subject.
They are inild in their action, and convey almost
immediate conviction of their utility from the first dose.
Thev may betaken by persons of any age ; and the
feeble, the infirm, the nervous and delicate are strength
ened by their operation, because they clear the system
of had humors, quiet nervous irritability, and invariably
produce sound health.
Upwards of three bundred and seventy thousand
boxes of these inestimable Pills have been sold within
the lost twelve months in three States alone,and more
than three times the same quantity in other States.
As an anti-billions medicine, no family should be
without them. A single trial of them is more salisfac
torythan a thousand certificates.
fcrThc above medicine is for sale, in Wa'kinsville.

IMPROVEMENT in whatever regards the happ,-
•l ness and welfare of oar race is constantly on the
march to perfection, and with each succeeding day
sonic new problem is solved, or some profound secret
revealed, having an important and direct hearing over
man’s highest destinies. If we take a retrospective
view over the pnst twenty years, how is the mind struck
with wonder! Wlml rapid strides has science made
in every department of civilized life ! particularly in
that which relates to the knowledge of the human svs
tem in health and disease- How valuable and indis
pensable are the curative means recently discovered
through the agency of Chemistry! How docs the im
agination kindle and our admira'ion glow at the inge
nuity, the near npproneh to the standard of iierfecti n
of the present time ! Through the elaborate investiga
tions of Physiology, or the science of Lile, and the Pa
thology of prevalent diseases, much valuable practical
knowledge has heen 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 and discovered exactly
adapted to combine w ith, neutralize and expel morbific
matter, the cause of disease, and substitute 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 to the sufferer, hut perfectly
in consonance with the operations of Nature, and sat
isfactorv to the views and reasonings of every intelli
gent, reflecting mind. It is thus that SAN 11,S’ SAR
SAPARILLA, a scientific combination of essential
principles of die most valuable Vegetable substances,
operates upon die system. The Sarsaparilla is com
bined w ith the most effectual aids, the most salu'ary
productions, die most potent simples of die Vegetable
kingdom; and its unprecedented success in the resto
ration to healih those who had long pined under the
most distressing chronic maladies, has given it an ex
alted character, furnishing as it doesevidence of its own
intrinsic value, and recommending it to the afflicted in
terms the afflicted only ran know. It hashing been
a most important desideratum in the practice of medi
cine to obtain a remedy similar to this —one ti nt would
act on the liver, stomach and bowels with all the pre
cision and potency of mineral preparations, vet with
out any of their deleterious effects upon the vital pow
ers of the system.
{£? The attention of the render is res
pectfully called to the following certificates. Howev
er great achievements have heretofore been made hv
the use of this invaluable medicine, yet daily experi
ence shows results still more remarkable. The pro
prietors here avail themselves of the opportunity of say
ing it is a sourer of constant satisfaction that they are
made the means of relieving such an amount of suffer
ing.
Newark. (N. .1.) December 15,1312.
Messrs. Sands—Gentlemen : Words cannot express
the gratitude 1 feel for your treatment to me, a sirnn
ger suffering under one of the most loathsome diseases
that nature i- capable of hearing. The disease w ith
which I w as afflicted commenced with inflnmma’iun
of the eyes, in the year 1836, which caused almost to
tal blindness. Forthis I wastreated and finally relieved*
but the remedies were such as to cause the develop
mentof a scroiulous affection on my left arm near the
elbow.
The pain extended from the shoulder to the end ol
my fingers, and for two years my sufferings were be
yond description, I tried various remedies and consult
ed different Physicians in New- York, and amongst
them the late Dr. Bushr, who told me the disease was
caused by the large quantity of mercury taken to cure
the inflammation ol inv eyes.
My sufferings continued, the arm enlarged, tumours
formed in different places, nnd inn few months dis
charged, making ten running ulcers at one time,some
above 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 me amputation of the arm
was the only thing that could save my life, ns r was
i impossible to cure so dreadful a disease : but ns I was
unwilling to consent to it he recommended me to use
Swnim's Panacea freely, which 1 did without deriving
but little benefit
For three years I was unable to raise my hand to my
head or comb my hair, and the scrofula now made it's
appearance on rny head, destroying the bone in differ
ent places, causing extensive ulcerations and I feared
it might reach and destroy the brain—the head swelled
very much, accompanied with violent pain, ini memos
external remedies were recommended, but they did no
good. About a year since I was taken severely ill with
a swelling of the body from head to foot, so that I was
entirely helpless ; the Doctor advised me to go to die
Hospital, for he did not understand my ease ; for the
last few months 1 had heen afflicted with a severe pain
in both pidee, at times so hard I ronld scnrcrly gel my
breath A hacking cough constantly annoyed me, and
this combined w ith my other maladies, rendered me
truly miserable.
Such, gentlemen, had been my situation for seven
years of mv life w hen I commenced the use of your
Sarsaparilla, hut as my ease was considered hopeless,
and the near prospect of a speedy dissolution seemed
inevitable, I fell but little encouragement to persevere.
The persuasion unfriends induced me to try your med
icine, which in a few days produced ngient chnngein
my system generally, try causing an appetite,relieving
the pains, and giving me strength; s success inspires
confidence, 1 was encouraged to persevere, my pains
grew ensier. my strenglh returned, food relished, the
ulcers healed, new flesh formed, nnd I once more felt
within me that I might pet w ell I have now used die
Sarsaparilla ahost two months nnd am now like a dif
ferent being. The arm that was to be amputateu
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 ns nt any pe
riod of my life, and my general health is heller than it
has been ior years past.
Health ; what magic in the word ! how manv thou
sands have sought it in foreign lands nnd sunny climes,
and have sought in vain ! Yet it enme to me when I
had given up to die, and ns I feel the pulsations of health
coursing through my veins, my whole heart and soul
go forth in fervent gratitude to the nmhorof all onrsure
mercies, that he has been graciously pleased to bless
the means made use of.
Truly have you proved yourself the Good Samaritan
to the afflietpd, for next to my Creator my life is indebt
ed to you (or rather) the use of your invaluable Sorsnpa
rilla. The value of such n medicine is countless be
yond price; money cannot pay for it. I have been
raised from death, I inny so v, for my friends nnd myself
thought it impossible tlint I could recover. And now,
gentlemen, suffer me to add another proof certified too
by 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 heartfelt, fervent wish of
their and your friend, MARTHA CONLIN.
I know Martha Conlin and believe whnt shestates
