The Garden of the Mind. —There is no
hour in which ihe force ami beauty of anal
ogy are felt with so much power and inte r
est as that which we spend in a garden.—
Few tasks are more agreeable than that of j
comparing what is natural with what is men- j
tal. Possessing such a disposition, a man
is as much a student when handling a spade j
or a prnning-knife. as when using a pen or
book. It is fi.im his own idleness, if thorns
and briars spring np in the natural garden
instead of flowers and fruit; and it is the
same with his intellect, it being his own
fault if his mind produces what is light,
trifling, and useless, instead of what is ele
gant and good and useful. According to
liis own exertion, he will possess a garden
or wilderness. If the soul he stony ground,
the more dilligence and culture will he
necessary, and even if it he good ground,
it will soon become a waste unless it receives
his unremitted attention. Colton says —
“ There are as many kinds of minds as of
mosses,” we may add too—“as of soil.” —
Is it not astonishing, that in spite of the
most assiduous cultivation on the part of
teachers, some children ate found stubborn
ly ignorant, making no way, and bearing
no blossoms? And is it not remaikable
that others, with pet haps less tutoiing, keep
ahead of their companions in their pursuits
and acquirements of knowledge, rshibiting j
in themselves a fondness and aptitude sot j
learning, and a mental fertility perfectly
marvelous? How much of this may he ex
plained by what is termed temperament,
and how much may be the result of an in
nate indolence or activity, is a question to
be answered by those who have much ex
perience in education. Much (to keep up
my metaphor) may depend upon the gat
den, as well as the soil. One may he more
competent to the care of a flower-garden,
another of an orchard ; the one for what is
elegant in manners, the other for what is
useful in action. Ifsoils require the waimtli
of sunshine, the gentleness of showers,
and the roughness of storms, so do minds,
according to their different natures and con
ditions, need often to he rewarded by
smiles, frequently to he assisted by good
nature, arid at times to be shaken arid awed
by punishment. They are only obstinate
and sullen natures, however, that wnnt the
last, as they are the more hauly and stub
born plants and trees that require to be
moved by the terrii est to the very toot-.
As some plaits are so tender as to lie
required to lie guarded against the weath
er—one needing the sun, and another the
shade, so do delicate minds call for a cor
responding attention from the eye and hand
of an intelligent tutot to discover each tilter
riation of strength and weakness. Does
my garden requite weeding? So does my
mind of its errors and prejudices, and crude
notions. Does my Held need to lie ill fal
low to recover its vigor? so also does the
mind ask for recreation and rest. Do my
fruit trees requite iny pruning? so must
my intellectual faculties he checked and
restrained from running waste in specula
tive and unprofitable pursuits; they must
he kept in more to themselves to become
fruitful. lam pleased to see the blossoms
of spring dedicating my orchard with her
young, bright hues ; hat if they come out
too soon, I feel lather alarmed than pleased
with their forwardness. It is the being “ m
season ” that pleases us with every thing
around. It is so with the garden of the
mind. Precocity, hnwevar striking, is sel
dom lasting. It is the sure hut steady
growth that gives us the promise of a rich
autumn. Gardening, as an exeicise, tilings
health to the body. Education, whether
it lie of others or of ourselves, is an exer
cise that gives strength to the mind. 1 am
resolved then, from time to time, to exam
ine more attentively than 1 have dune, the
state of my mental garden. I would not
have it without flowers, nor shall flowers
alone grow there. It shall in future bring
forth fruits both pleasant and wholesome.—
Go then, my soul, devote thy best powers
and faculties to this great culture for
ger iotttrn thy “ minds eye” to the Heaven
ly Eden where thou needcst not fear the
blights of spring, or frosts of winter; for
there thy garden shall flourish in one eter
nal summer.
Death. —Oh God ! what a difle rence
throughout the whole of this various and
teeming earth a single death can effect!—
Sky, sun, air, the eloquent wains, the in
spiting mountain top?, the murmuring ami
glossy wood, the very
Glory in the grass, and splendor in the flower,
do these hold over us on eternal spell?—
Are they as a patt and prupeity of an un
varying course of nature? Have they aught
which is unfailing ; steady— same in its ef
fects ? Alas! their attraction is the rffcu
ture of an accident. One gap, invisible to
all but ourself in the crowd and lin moil of
the world, and every thing is changed. In
a single hour, the whole process of thought,
the whole ebb and How of emotion, may he
tevulsed for the rest of an existence. No
thing can ever seem to us as it did : it is a
blow upon the fine mechanism by which we
think, move, and have our being—the pen
dulum vibrates aright no more—the dial
hath no account with time—the process
goesou, but it knows nosymmetry or order;
it was a single stroke that marred it, but the
harmony is gone forever!
And yet 1 often think that that shock
which jarred onilie mental, renders yet s- fi
er the moral nature. A death that is con
nected with love unites us by a thousand
reniemborances to all who have mourned:
it builds a bridge between the young nnd
the old ; it gives them in common the most
touching of human sympathies; it steals
from nature its glory and its cxhilet'utioti
not its tenderness. Ami whirl, perhaps, j s
better than all, to mourn deeply for the
death of another, loosens from nurselTea
the petly desires for, and the animal ad
herouce, to life. We have gained the end
of the philosopher, anil view, without
•blinking, the culiiu am) the pull.
Knowledge without viituc, says some
one, in a knife in the hands of a maniac. It
ntoy he well employed, mid may not.
Allegorical. —A traveler setting out on a J
long journey, was assailed on the road by
curs, mastiffs, and half grown puppies, which (
came out from their kennels to bark at him j
as lie passod along. He often dismounted j
from his horse to diive them back with
stones ami sticks, into their hiding places.
This operation was repeated every day, and j
sometime as often ns twenty times a day.
The consequence was, that more than half
of the traveler’s time was consumed in chas
ing those dogs and puppies. At last lie i
was overtaken by a neighbor, who was go
ing the same road, but who had set out a )
long time after him. The latter traveler j
was very much surprised to find the other j
no farther on his journey, and hearing the
reason, “Alas!” said he, “is it possible ;
you Imre lost your time, and wasted your
stiengfh in this, idle occupation ? These
same animals have hear t me all along the j
road ; btrf 1 have saved my time ami my
labor in taking no notice of their linkings; j
while you have lost yotir’a in resenting in- |
suits which rfiil you no haim, and in chasten- ;
; ing dogs and puppies whose manners you
can never mend.”
Greatness. —What renders it diflicult fir
ordinary minds t£ discover a great man be
fore lie lias, like a tree, put fotth his blos
soms, is the mariner, various sod dissimilar, 1
in which such persons evolve their posset*.
For as in nature rhe finest days are omc
j limes in the morning overclouded and dark,
’ ao the development of genius follows no
rule, but is hastened er retarded by position
and circumstance.
Writing. —Tt was Addison, we believe,
who observed of the schoolmen, that they
had not genius enough to write a small
book, and therefore took refuge in folios of
the largest magnitude. We ate getting as
fast as possible inWi the predicament of the
schoolmen. No one knows when he has
written enough ; but, like a player at chess,
still self-same ideas, merely altering their
positon.
How impel feet, how limited is our know l
edge and perception. We come uncon
scious into the world ; unconscious of the
actual moment of dissolution, we leave it
We are ignorant of the moment we are
born, and cannot penetrate one second be
yond the last struggle of life. We learn to
read the last page of our existence, hut nev
er know the first word of the next leaf.—
Life ebbs like the river which comes, God
knows whence, and tolls away into a wide
and fathomless ocean.
Evils in the journey of life, are like the
hills which alarm traveler* upon the road;
they both appear gieat at a distance, hut
when we approach them we find that they
ate far less itisui mountahl* than we had
conceived.— Colton.

SANDS’ SARSAPARILLA,
For the removal and permanent cure of all
Diseases arising from an impure state of
the Blood, or habit of the system, namely;
Scrtfula, or King's Evil, Rheumatism, Ob
stinate Cutaneous Eruptions, Pimples, or
Pustules on the Fare, Blotches, Biles, Chro

and Joints, Stubborn Ulcers, Sr/j:hi/tic
Symptoms, Sciutia, or Lumbago, and Dis
\ eases arising from an injudicious use of
Mercury, Ascites, or Dropsy, Exposure or
Imprudence in Life. Also, Chronic C<m
stifutional Disorders will be removed by
this Preparation.
IMPROVEMENT in whatever regards ihe hnppi
I ness arid welfare of our race is constantly on the
march to perfection, and with each succeeding day
some 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 past twenty years, how is the mind struck
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 syi*
tern in health and disease. How valuable and indis
pen-aide are the curative means recently discovered
through the agency of Chemistry ! How does the im
agination kindle ami our aJmira'ion glow at the inge
unity, die near approach to ‘he standard of perfection
of the present lime ! Through ihe elaborate investiga
tions of Physiology, or the scienee 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 and discovered exactly
adapted to combine with, neutralize and expel morbific
matter, ‘he cause of di-case, and substitute healthy ac
tiqn 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, but perfectly
in consonance with the operations of Nature, and sat
isfactory to the views and reasonings of every intelli
gent, rc finding mind. It is thus that SANDS’ SAR
SAPARILLA, a scientific combination of essential
principles of the most valuable Vegetable substances,
operates upon die system. The Sarsaparilla is com
bined with the most effectual aid-, the most salutary
productions, the most potent simples of the Vegetable
kingdom; and its unprecedented success in the resto
ration to health those who had long 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 practice of medi
cine to obinin a remedy similar to this—one that would
act on the liver,stomach and bowels w ith all the pre
cision and potency of mineral preparations, vet with
om nnv of their deleterious effects upon the vital pow
ers of the system.
07* Tlu- attention of the reader is res
pectfully called to the following certificates. How-rv
er great achievements have heretofore been made by
the use of this invaluable medicine, vet dailv experi
ence shows results still more remarkable. The pro
prietors here avail themselves of the opportunity of say.
mg it is a source ol constant satisfaction that they nrs
made the means of relieving such an amount of suffer
ing.
Newark, (N. J.) December 15,1813.
Mrssrs. Sands— Grnilt men : Words cannot express
the gratitude 1 f r e! lor your treatment to me, a strnn
g< r suffering under one of the must loathsome diseases
that nature i- capable of hearing. The disease with
w hich I v.as afflicted commenced with inflammation
of the eves, in ifie year !83fi, which caused almost to
tal blindness. For this I was l rented nmi finally relieved!
but the r< medics were sir’ ll as to cause the develop
ment of a scrofulous affection on my left arm near ilia
elbow.
The pain extended from the shoulder to the end of
my fingers, and for two years my sufferings were tie
ynnri description, I tried various remedies and consult
ed different Physicians in New York, and amongst
them the late Dr. Bushe, who told me the disease was
caused by the large quantity of mercury taken to cure
the inflammation of my eves.
My sufferings continued, the arm enlarged, tumours
formed in different places, and inn few months dis
charged,making ten running ulcers at one time,some
above and some below the elbow, and ti e discharge
w as so offensive t!ie.t no person could bear 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, as r was
impossible to cure so dreadful a disease ; hut as l was
unwilling to consent to it he recommended me to use
Swnim’s Panacea freely, which 1 did without deriving
hut little benefit
For thre years I was unable to raitp my hand to niv
head or comli my hair, and tlie scrofula now made its
appearance on my head, destroying the Imne in differ
ent places, causing extensive ulcerations and I feared
it might ri ach and and: strov the brain—the head swrlled
very much, accompanied with violent pain, numerous
externa! remedies were recommended, but they did no
good. Abort a year since I was taken severely ill w ith
a swelling of the body front head to foot, so that 1 was
entirely helpless; the Bocror advised me to go to ills
Hospital, for he did not understand mv case; for the
h st tew months I had lifpn afflicted w ith a severe pain
in both sides, at times 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 my life when I commenced the use of vour
Sarsaparilla, hut as my case was considered hopeless,
and the near prospect of a speedy dissolution seemed
inevitable. I felt but little encouragement to persevere.
The por-uu-ion o f friends induced me to try your med
icine, which in a few days produced a gieat change in
my system generally, by causing an appetite,relieving
the pains, and giving me strength ; as success inspires
confidence. 1 was encouraged to pi rsevere, nty pains
grew easier, my strennih returned, food relished, the
ulcers healed, new flesh formed, and I once more fell
within me that I might get well. I have now nsed the
Sarsaparilla about two months and am now like a difi
ferftit being. The nrtn that was to be amputated
lias en’irelv healed, u thing that seemed impossible. I
ean scarcely believe the evidence of niv ow n eyes, but
such is the fact; and it is now ns useful ns at any pe
riod of my life, and my general health is better than it
has been for years past.
Health ; what magic in the word ! how many thou
sands hove sought it in foreign lands and sunny climes,
and have sought in vain ! Yet it came to me w hen I
had given up to die, and as I feel the pulsations of health
couraiiur through my veins, my whole heart and soul
go forth in ferventaratitude to the author of all oursure
mercies, that he has been graciously pleased to blesa
the means made use of.
Truly have von proved yourself the Good Samaritan
to the afflicted, for next to my Creator my life is indebt
ed to you (or rather) i lie use of vour invaluable Sarsnoa
rilla The value of sueh a medicine is countless be
yond price; money cannot nay for it. I have been
raised from death, I may snv, for iny friends and myself
thought it impossible that l could recover. And now,
BPittlenicn, suffer me to add another proof certified too
bv my friends nnd guardians ns a just acknowledgment
of the virtues of your health restoring Sarsaparilla.—
That the afflicted nmv also use it nnd enjoy the bene
fits it alone enn confer, is the heartfelt, fervent wish of
their and your friend, MARTHA CONLIN.
I krioxx’ Martha Conlin mid believe what she slates
in this document to be perfectly true.
