Which soothes the invokers of thy awful name.

The Good Mon. — What can produce hap
ftirr reflect ions than n well-spent life] If
we have passed the morning and noon of
our rlavs and arrived far into the evening of
existence, how hlis-ful is the contempla
tion of a virtuous and active life! No vic
ious propeiidties have heeti gratified; no
unhallowed deeds have been pet petrated;
but all behind is as beautiful to contemplate
as a glowing landscape in the distance
How beautiful has Blair expressed the last
days nf tlie good man:
Sure the ’as 1 erd
Os ihc gnnd man is peace How culm his exit !
Night dews tall not more gentle to the ground,
Nor weary, worn-out wind* expire so soft.
Beltnbl him in ilie eventide of life!
A life wei! speai! w hose early care it vvns
Ih s riper y< ms should not upbraid his green ;
liy ni pt r eived ilt grt cs lie vvenrs away ;
And like tl c still sterns larger at bis setting.
If von w ish that such an end may he
your’s, live an upright and virtuous life, nnd
you may ileneiid upon joy and liiumph at
last. The good man dies in peace. His
thoughts are not filled with dread, when he
contemplates his end, lint his lientt is full of
peace. He I oolvs beyond the hounds of
existence, and feels there is in reservation
for him joys which the heart of man cannot
conceive.
“ Ff/een Minutes hefoie the Time." —lf
there is any one piinciple, to which the for
mation of my diameter has been chii flv in
debted, it is to this motto of a distinguished
‘'naval commander. Nobody ever waited
for Lord N 1 or. He made it an invariable
rule to he present at every njjpoii.tment, and
to he ready for every enterprise, at least
fifteen minutes hefoie lime, and to wait
father impatiently theatrical of the moment
allotted tor union. When the hour hud
fully come, and tlie delay of otlieis render
ed it inexpedient to proceed, he looked up
on his own obligation ns cancelled, with
drew immediately fmmthe place of rendez
vous, ami no inducement could ever prevail
upon him to return.
The lesson inculcated in this motto is. to
be in time for eveiy duty. It should he the
standard principle for every man who ha*
tinv regaitl for himself, nr nny regard for
those to whom he act* to he truly puiii'lnnl
to alt his engagement*. To himself it is a
rule of inciilcnlahle impmtaiu e and applies
to every occupation and every pursuit.—
The ancients lepieseuted time uder the
similitude of au old mm, w ith a single lock
upon hi- forehead, gravely hut steadily ap
proaching an assembled multitude—and
who, vet seized his lock anil held him by it,
was Imine on wind with the most assured
pledge that cotihl he given, of future suc
cess. lint if tiny siiHeied him to pass them,
lie spread his w ings, which till then were
coiirealed behind him, and flew away with a
rapidity which tendered pursuit utterly vain.
Hence the homely adge, *• Take time l>v
the forelock.” Heller ho fifteen minutes
too early than fifteen minutes too late. Toil
lute! Alas, vvliul a crowd of sensations clus
ter nriHitul that ill-omened phrase! The
disappointments, how numerous! The dis
ii'ters, Imvv sail! ‘1 lit; conseipienees—o
who cm trace them, as they reach through
all future lime and uuhusom themselves in
the abyss of eternity !
Average Mortality of Manhind. —The

Example b<f>rc Precept. —lt is common
ly found that t.,e geneial behavior nnd ron
v portion of parents p:o luce a decidedly
deeper impression on the, minds of the
voting than any formal instructions, how
ever excellent in themselves’. When chil
dren are addressed, their mi'.dST recoil, or
at least their attention is apt to flag, hut
their own shrewd observations on what they,
see done nr hear said hy others, on the es
timates which they perceive their parents
to form of things and character, and on the
governing principles hy which they judge
their conduct to lie regulated, sink deep
into their memories, and, in fact, constitute
by far the most effective part of education.
—Bishop Wilson.
The Previous Pearl. —Religion in a fe
male’ secures all her inteiests. It graces
her character, promotes her peace, endears
her friendship, secures esteem, adds a dig
nity and worth indescribable to all her
deeds.
How pleasant, when the absent husband
can think of home, nnd reflect that angels
watch the place! When about to leave her
a widow, bow consoling if her character is
such, that she can lean on a widow’s God,
and put her children under the guardian
ship of Him who is the father of the father
less. Then lip quits the world calm and
happy, supported by the hope that he shall
meet them all in heaven.
Dignity of Labor. —ln early life, David
kept his father’s sheep; this was a life of
industry ; nnd though foolish men think it
degrading to perform nny useful labor, vet
in the eyes iif wi*e men industry is truly
honorable, and the most useful man is the
happiest. A life of labor is man’s natural
condition, and most favorable to bodily
health and mental vigor. Bishop Hall says
—” Sweet is the destiny of alltrades, wheth
er of the brow, or of the mind. God nev
er allowed anv man to ilo nothing.” Ftoni
tie ranks nf industry have the wot Id’s great
est men been taken Rome was more than
once saved bv a man who was sent for from
the plough. Moses had been keeping sheep
for more than forty years hefoie lie came
forth as the deliverer of lsieal. Jesus
Christ himself during the early part of his
life, worked as a ca-penfer. His apostles
were < hoseu fiom amongst the hardy laho
rinus fisherm* n. From whence J infer, that
when God has anv great work to peiform.
he splecls as his agents those who hv their
previous occupation had acquired habits of
industry, skill and perseverance ; and that,
in every department of society, they are the
most honorable who earn their own living
hy their own labor.
Pleasure is a shadow, wealth is vanity,
anil power a pageant, but knowledge is ec
static in enjoyment. perennial in fame, un
limited in spare and infinite in dotation.—
In the performance of its sacred office, it
fettrs no danger, spaies no expense, omits
no exertion ; it scales the mountain, looks
into the volcano, dives into the ocean, per
forates the earth, eniicbes the globe, ex
plores sea and land, contemplates the dis
tant, and ascends to the sublime ; no place
too remote fi>r its grasp, rm heavens too ex
alted fur its reach.— De Witt Clinton.
Happiness. —An eminent modern writer
beautifully says: The foundation of do
mestic happiness is faith in the viitue of
woman. Ihe foundation of political hap
piness—a confidence in the integiity of man.
1 he foiirdntinu of all happiness, temporal
and eternal—reliance on the goodness of
God !
1 hope it will he written on the tablets of
your heart, in characters not to he effaced
by ambition, aviuice or pleasure, that the
only sure and certain happiness to be found
on this side of the grave, is a conscientious
ness of your ow n rectitude. All true pence
and borne felt joy are the reward of virtue :
and there is no applause in this world worth
having, unless it is crowned with your own.
—Sir J. Wthnot.

The Yavhee and his PicUvs. —The Cin
cinnati Enquirer says that not long since a
full-Mourned \ anker*, who has ,ocated him
self in the Sucker State, brought to that
market a load of pickles, lit order to make
the most of his eapital, he also brought
some of the seed fmm which his extra cu

who war also ir. with a load of marketing,
observed that the Yankee appealed to be

A rising Genius. — A friend writes;—
*‘\ou perhaps have heaid me speak of

au editor, and blackguarded himxe If into
his present situation. 1 met him the other
day, mid had some con vet sat ion with him.
He is a coal at 1 , awkward fellow, about six

Pretty Fair. —The other day tw’osons of
the Emerald Isle met a country woman o<’
super-eminent ugliness—-bleared eyes, a
cork-screw nose, an angular mouth, and a
fare radiant with “ toddy blossoms,” set off
a figure which w-as far from being on im
peisonificatiou of the graces. “ Holy St.
Patrick,” (exclaimed one of them,) “did
ye ever see t.ie like] What will ye take
to kiss that angel]” “Any body’s mouth
hut my own,” was the reply.
An Irish judge, when passing sentence on
a mail convicted of bigamy, severely lec
tured the fellow, on his uxorious crime, and
ipgretted that the law did not allow him to
award a greater punishment than seven
years transportation. “ Had I my will,
you sinner,” said the learned judge, “you
should not have so “light a punishment, for
1 should si utyrice you for the term of your
natural life—'olive in the same house with
both of your wives.”
A Sovereign. Trumpeter. —A gentleman
holding a plate fur eontiibuliona at a public
meeiing, was observed after the collection,
to take away a sovereign. When charged
with the theft, he replied that he put it into
the pi ile as a demy or trap; and said,
“You know trumpeters never fight'’
A Knowing One. —“ Is Jonathan Dumpy
here]” asked a rather country looking fel
low, bolting inton pi inting office. “ I don’t
know such a man,” said the foreman.—
” Don’t know him,” said he, “why he’s
emu ling our Sally.”
Before nnd after Marriage. —A Indy, who
was very modest and submissive before
mariiage, was observed hy afiiend to use
her tongue pretty fret ly after. “ There
was a time,” said her friend, “when I al
most imagined slit; hail none.” “ Yes,”
said her husband with a sigh, “ but it is
very long since.”
“ Why don’t you get married ?” asked
a lady of rat her an elderly bachelor ftiend.
“1 have been trying for the la>t ten years to
find someone silly enough to have me.”—
“ I guess you haven’t b en down our wav,”
was the insinuating rejoinder.
A person speaking to a very deaf man,
and getting angry at his not catching his
meaning, said : “Why, it is as plain as A
B 0.” “ That may he, sir,” replied the
poor man, “ but I am I) E F.”

Newark, (N. J.) December 15,1842.
Messrs. Rands—Gentlemen : Wordscannotexpresa
the gratitude I feel for your treatment to me, a stran
ger suffering under one of the most loathsome diseases
that nature i- capable of hearing. The disease with
which 1 was afflicted commenced with inflammation
J ol the eves, in the year 1336, w hich caused almost to
| nil blindness. For this I was rented nnd finally relieved j
] but the remedies were such as localise the develop
, ment of a seroiulous afftciion on my left arm nenr ilia
I elbow.
■ The pnin extended from the shoulder to the end of
my lingers, and fi r two years my sufferings were he
! yond description, I tried various remedies nnd consult
’ ed different Physicians in New York, and amongst
them the late Dr. Busbp, who told me ihe disease was
caused by the large quantity of mercury taken to curt
tlic inflammation ol my eyes.
My sufferings continued, the arm enlarged, tumours
formed in difierrnt places, and in a few months din
charged, making ten running t.leers nt one time,soma
a! oio and some below the elbow, and the discharge
was SO offensive that no person could hpar to he in the
room win re 1 wan I then applied to another (listin-
Ctii.-hi and Physician, w ho told me amputation of die am
“ns the onlv thing that could save my life, ns i - nji
impossible to cure so dreadful n disease ; hut ns I was
unwilling to consent to it he recommended me to use
Swnirn’s Panacea freely, which 1 did without deriving
hut little benefit
For three years I wns iinab’e tornfie my hand to my
herd or comb mv hair, and the scrofula now mnde its
ocponrnme on my head, destroying the hone in differ
ent pieces, causing extensive ulcerations nnd I feared
i’ might rench am] destroy the drain--the head swelled
very much, ncenntpnnkd with violent pain, numerous
external remedies were recommended. Ini’ they did no
good. About a year since 1 was taken Severely ill w ith
n swelling of ihe body from bend lu foot, so that I was
entirely he'pless: the Doctor advised me to go to the
Hospiml, for he did not understand mv ease; for the
I s’ lew months I had been afflicted w itb a severe pain
in ho'h sides, in times so hard I could scarcely get my
breath A hacking cough constantly annoyed me. and
this combined w ith my other maladies, rendi red me
tr'dy miserable.
Such, gentlemen, had been my situation for seven
years of mv life w hen I commeneed ihe use of vour
Sarsaparilla, Imt as mv case wns considered hopeless,
and the near prospect of a speedy dissolution seemed
inevitable. 1 fell hut little cneourngcmem to persevere.
The persuasion o r friends induced me to try vour med
icine, which in a few days produced a meat change in
my svstem generally, hy causing an appetite, relieving
the pairs, and giving me strength ; as success inspires
confidence, 1 was encouraged to persevere, mv pains
grew easier, my s'rengih returned, I nod relished, tho
ulcers healed, pew flesh formed, nnd I once mote felt
wi'liin me that 1 might get well. I have now used ‘he
Rnrsapardla idiom Iwo months nnd am now likendif
ferent being. The arm that was to be amputated
hns entirely healed, n tiling that seemed impossible. I
can scarcely believe ihe evidence of mv own eyes, but
such is the fact; and it is now n useful ns at any pe
riod of mv life, and my general health is better (ban it
has been lor venrs pnt.
Health ; what magic in the word ! how many thou
sands have sought it in foreign lands nnd sunny climes,
nnd have sought in vain! Yet it enme to nte when l
had given up to die, nnd as I feel the pulsations of health
coursing through tnv veins, my whole heart mid soul
go for'li in fervent gratitude to the author of all oursure
mercies, that lie hns been graciously pleased to bless
the means made use ofi
Truly Dave you proved yourself the Good Samaritan
to the afflicted, for next to my Crentormy life is indebt
ed to you (or rati er) ihe use of vour invaluable Rarsana
rilla The value of such a medicine is countless be
yond price; money cnnnni nny for it. I have been
raised from death, I may snv, for my friends and myself
thought it impossible tbs’ 1 could recover. And now,
gentlemen, suffer me to add another proof certified too
hv my friends nnd guardians ns n just acknowledgment
of th* virtues of vour health restoring Sarsnpnrilla.—
That the afflicted innv also use it nnd enjoy the bene
fits it nlmte enn coaler, is the henrtfeb, fervent wish ol
their and your friend, MARTHA CONLIN.
I know Marthn Conlin and believe what she states
in this document to be perfectly true.
