Morning Devotion.— But the morning
a time for devotion, not only from i:s rela
tion to the’past night, but considered as the
introduction <>f anew day. foil thinking
mind, how natural at this houi such reflec
tions as the following;—l am n w to enter
on anew period of my life, to si ift afresh
in my course. I ant to return to that woi 10,
where I have often gone astray ; to receive 1
impressions which may nevei he effaced ;
to perform actions which will nevei he
forgotten ; to strengthen a character, which
will fit me for heaven or hell. I am this
day to meet temptations which have often (
subdued me; lam to be entrusted again j
with opportunites of usefulness, w hich 1 ;
have often neglected. 1 am to influence j
the minds of others, to help in moulding i
their characters and in deciding the happi
ness of their present and future life. How
uncertain is this day! What unseen dan
gers are before me ! What unexpected
changes may await me! It may be my
last day ! It will certainly bring me nearer
to death and judgement! Now, when en
tering on a period of life so important yet
so uncertain, how fit and natural is it, be
fore we take the first step, to seek the favor
of that Being on whom the lot of evety day
depends, to commit all our interests to his
almighty and wise providence, to seek his
blessing on our labors and his succor in
temptation, and to consecrate to his service
the day which he raises upon us.— Chan

MUSIC —ITS INFLUENCE.
” Who ne'er hath felt her hand assuasivc- steal
Along his heart, that heart can never feel.”
Who is there that hath not experienced
the soft blandishments ol sweet music steal
ing o’er his soul, and moving it in holy as
pirations. Many a time and oft has the
hardened, reckless criminal, been seen to
brush away a tear from bis rough cheek,
when listening to its soft and melting strains..
We are lulled to sleep in our infant clays by
the melodies of the parent’s voice ; for full
well the mother knows the gentle and
toothing influence of music and sweet
sounds upon her tender offspring. In riper
years, its power still moves us, ever awak
ening the tender sensibilities of the heart.
In the house of God, when old age and ten
der youth bend the knee, side by side, in
humble adoration to the great Parent of
all, how thrills the organ’s notes upon the
heart, seeming the very tongue of Heaven
speaking in deep and touching strains to
earth’s offspring. There is a close alliance
between music and religion.
What were poetry without music! It is
the medium through which poetry has ever
wrought its chief effects—they are insepa
rable. How many emotions are there in
digenous to the human breast that can only
find vent in song ! Man could never have
been without it, else he would not have pos
sessed the soul capable of such emotions.
Our earliest knowledge of the first tribes of
the earth show us that they weie no stran
gers to the art divine. Music had found an
early home through all the world: even the
wild Indian has his chant, his war song, and
his death song. Let us duly appreciate an
art which is so peculiarly calculated to add
to our happiness, to assist iti the cultivation
of the better feelings of the heart; let us
cultivate an amusement so rational and in
nocent, thereby adding to the pure, quiet,
fireside enjoyments of home.
Infidelity. —A celebrated officer of the
American Revolution, a Virginia gentle
man, had unfortunately been tinctured with
infidel principles. The efforts of Mr. T.
Paine to promote American liberty—the ef
fusions of his pen, and the zeal of his life,
tended to make his infidel sentiment popu
lar with many of our countrymen, at the era
of the revolution. This officer had often
introduced the subject, strange as it may
appear to his daughter, and urged her to
embrace its tenets. If infidelity succeed
with man, it cannot often master the heart
of woman, for ahove all others, the law of
her nature is trust, and she needs peculiarly
the holy trust ofjheaven. The young lady
restated the entreaties of her father. She
clung to the principles of her Savior’s reli
gion. Disease afterwuds wasted her fair
form, and she drew near the closing s.’enc.
Friends loved her for her lovliness, and the
fathet wept, that earthly beauty ahould thus
languish into the tomb. The work of dis
ease was almost consummated; the light
was passing from her eye, and the pulse
from her heart —it was a fearful moment —
the dividing moment between time and
eternity. She called tire infidel father to
her bedside—and as she gently pressed his
hand, and looked tenderly up into his sad
countenance, she said, ‘* Father, would you
have me be an infidel now 7” There was a
pause—there was a sigh—and the heart
stricken man answered, “ No, my daughter,
Nor
True Reform. —The true reformer is calm
and mild, mighty against sin, hurling truths
■t every wrong, but still preserving, amid
it all, a loving heart. He is fearless and un
faltering—he presses right on with its mis
sion; but he does not court persecution, or
pray for martyrdom. He is contented to
let truth bide its time, and is careful that he
does not injure it hy taslmess and impro
priety, as much as by sluggishness or deni
al. He will not be augry if men do not be
lieve him at the first announcement. He
is content if he may only preach the truth,
for he knows that once scattered abroad, it
can never die. It may not blossom until
long after he is dead—but what of that ?
The summer rains and winter snows shall
work for it; end long after his voice is hush
ed, and his eye dark, his very dust shall
nourish it — for it will blossom at last I
Such is the true reformer. You see that
the rash ar.d angry radical differs in much
from him.
True reform works by a law of nature,
and, like all nature’s laws is not to he accel
erated, or counterfeited. Slowly must the
work goon — yet it will go or,. It is life,
it M reality — -dreams and speculation are
not it. The good, the good alone, it labors
to secure — the good that is in the past, the
good that in the future. It labors to re
move evil by purification and by advance- ;
went. It holds on to the hallowed that has I
gone before——it reaches out to the It ue that
is to come. The spirit of true reform, nei
ther too fast nor too slow, both conservative
and progressive, may he described, with a
slight alteration, in the words of Goethe.
“ Like ns a star
That maketh not haste,
That faketh not rest,
Is it ever fulfilling

ing.
Newark, (N. J.) December 15,1812.
Messrs. Funds—Gentlemen : Words cannot express
the gratitude 1 foci for your treatment to me, a stran
ger suffering under one of the most luntheomr diseases
that natme is capable of bearing. The disease with
w hich I was afflicted commenced with inflammation
of the eves, in ‘he ccur 1836, which caused almost to
tal blind nans. For this I wnstreated and finally
but the remedies were sii'-li as to cause the develop
ment of a scrolulous affection on my left arm near the
elbow.
The pain extended from the shoulder to the end of
my fingers, and for two years my sufferings were be
yond description, I tried various remedies and consult
ed different Pliysicians in New York, and amongst
them the late Dr. Bus-he, who told me the disease was
caused by the large quantity of mercury taken to cure
the inflammation ot mv eyes.
My suffering’s continued, the arm enlarged, tumours
formed in different places, and in a few months di
charged,making ten running ulcers ut one tune.-eme
above and some below the elbow, and the discharge
was so offensive that no person could bear to be in the
room where I was 1 then applied to another distin
guished Physician, who told me amputation of the am
was the only thing that could save my life, as r was
irnpossible to cure so dreadful a disease ; but as I was
unwilling to consent to it he recommended me to usa
Swaim’s Panacea freely, which 1 did without denying
hut little benefit
For three years I w as unable to raise my hand to my
head or comb mv hair, and the scrofula now made iis
appearance on my head, destroying ihe hone in differ
ent places, causing extensive ulcerations and I tenrrd
if might reach and destroy the brain—the head swelled
verv much, accompanied withvioVnt pain, numerous
external remedies were recommended, but they did no
good. About n year since I was tsken 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 thy
Hospital, for he did not understand mv ease; forth#
I st tew months 1 had bfen afflicted with a severe pain
in boih sides, at rimes so hard I could scarcely get my
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 mv life when I commenced the use of your
Sarsaparilla, but as my case was considered hopeless,
and the near prespect of a speedy dissolution seemed
inevitable, I fell hut liitle encouragement to persevere.
The persuasion o f friends induced me to try your med
icine, which in a few days produced a gteat changein
my system generally, by causing an appetite,relieving
the pains, and giving me strength ; as success inspires
confidence, 1 was encouraged to persevere, my pains
grew easier, my strength returned, food relished, the
ulcers healed, new flesh formed, and I once more felt
within me that I might get well. I have now used the
Sarsaparilla about two months and am now like a dif
ferent being. The arm that was to be ampptath*
has entirely healed, a thing that seemed impossible. I
can scarcely believe the evidence of mv own eyes, but
such is the fuel; and it is now ns useful ns at any pe
riod of my life, and my general health is better than it
has been tor years past.
Health; what magic in the word ! how many thou
sands have sought it in foreign lands and sunny climes,
anti 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, my whole heart and soul
go forth in fervent gratitude to the author of all oursure
mercies, that he lias been graciously pleased to bless
the means made use of.
‘J rulv have you proved yourself the Good Samaritan
to the afflicted, for 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 piicc; motley cannot pay for it. I have been
raised from death, I my say.for my friends and myself
thought it itnnnssiblc that I could recover. And now,
gemiemen, suffer me to add another proof certified too
bv my friends and guardians as a just acknowledgment
of the virtues of your health restoring Sarsaparilla.—
That the afflicted may ulso use it and enjoy the bene
fit!* it alone can confer, is the heartfelt, fervent w ish of
their and your friend, MARTHA CONLIN.
I know Martha Conlin and believe what she states
in tliis document to be perfectly true.
