YYhere this Piaster is applied. Pain cannot exist. It has been beneficial in cases of weakness, such as Pain and Weak ness in the Stomach, Weak Limbs, Lameness, Affection o- the Spine, Female Weakness, &c. No female, subject to pain or weakness in the back or sides, should be without it Married ladies, in delicate situations, find great relief from constantly wearing the Plaster. The application of the Plaster between the shoulders has been found a certain remedy for Colds, Coughs, Phthisic, and Affec tion of the Lungs in their primary stages. It destroys tnfiaina tion by perspiration. i in h The following commendation is from an agent residing at Trenton, Term.: Trzntov, Gibsun Cos. Tenn. Nov. 7, ’49. Messrs. Si out. Sl Mkad—Gentlemen : The Hc’i.cw Plaster is becoming popular in this section. There is a lady in this county who says she would not be w ithout the Plaster for five hundred dollars a year. She was afflicted for some time with an enlargement of the spleen, which gave her great pain. The swelling and pain had extended up nearly to the armpit, and occasionally she could hardly breathe. She was confined for a considerable time, during which she was attended by some of ou- best physicians, but they gave no relief. She procured a box of the Hebrew Plaster, and it relieved her almost immediate ly, and now she keeps a supply of it on hand constantly.— These facts you are at liberty to use as you think proper—they are substantially true. Respectfully, yours, &e_ JKSSK J. WELLS. Beware of Counterfeits and Base Imitations!

Y. “ Ycver! Aever! Never!” “ 1 m:, .V be asked, and have been asked, When I am for the dissolution of the Union ? I answer, Never! Never ! Never ! ’ —Henry Clay. BY GEORGE W. CUTTER. You asked me when I’d rend the scroll, Our father’s names are written o'er ; When I would see our flag unroll Ils mingled stars and stripes no more ! W hen with a worse than felon’s hand, Or felon counsel I would sever T lie Unton of this glorious land— J answer, “Never, never, never.’’ When ye can find in lawless might, \N here carnage treads its crimson sway ; Where burning cities gild the night, Where cannon smoky obscures the day; In towns deserted, fields of ground Abandoned by the faithful plough, Security—hope—peace profound, The blessings Heaven vouchsafes ye now, Think ye that I could brook to sec I he emblem we have loved so long, Borne piece-meal o’er the distant sea, Torn, trampled by a frenzied throng, Divided, measured, parceled out. lamely surrender'd up lorever To gratify a lawless route Ot traitors? Never, never, never. On yonder lone and lovely-steep 1 he sculptor's art, the builder’s power— A landmark o’er the soldier’s sleep— Have reared a lofty funeral tower, There it shall stand until ihe river 1 hat rolls beneath shall erase to roll; Ay, till that hill itself shall quiver W ith nature's last convulsive throe. Upon that column’s marble base, Its shaft that soars into the *ky ; There still is room enough to trace The list of millions yet to die. And I would cover till its height And breadth, before the hour of shame, A*ll space should fail whereon to write Even the initials of a name. Nay, I would haste to swell the ranks, Direct the fire or lead the wav M here battle swept the rifted ranks, And bore the terrified files away, Fall bleeding in the doubtful strife Beneath the motto of my sires, And draw my latest breath of life Before that Union flag expires. Dissolve the Union—nay, remove 1 he best asylum that is known ; 5V here patriots find a brother’s love, And truth may shelter from a throne? Give up hopes of high renown, r l he legacy our father’s will'd, Tear our victorious eagles down Before their mission is fulfilled. Dissolve the Union—while the earth Has yet a tyrant to be slain ; As well repress the lightning's birth, Or stop the hearings of the main. Dissolve the L T nion—God of Heaven, W know too well how much it cost! A million bosoms shall be riven, Bt fore one gulden link is lost, Nay. spread aloft our banner folds High as the Heaven they resemble; That every race this planet holds Beneath its shadow may assemble, And with the rainbow’s dazzling pride Or clouds that burn upon the skies, Inscribe upon its margin wide; Peace, Fret-don. Union, Compromise ! Has slu* any Tin ? “ Oh ! no not paint her charms to me, I knmv that she is fair ! 1 know lit i lips might tempt the bee, Her eves with stirs compare, i Snell transient gifts I ne’er could prize, My heart they could not win, 1 do not scorn my Mary's eyes, But, has she any ‘tin ?’ ” I “ The fairest cheek, alas ! may fade, • Beneath the touch of years; 1 Tlie eyes where light and gladness played, May soon grow dim with tears, I would love's fires should to the last Still burn, as they begin ; But beauty’s reign too soon is past; So, has she any ‘tin V ’’ Ministering Spirits. The re-union of parents and children in hea ven, as well as of other earthly friends, is a cheering and delightful thought. And the idea that our departed friends may sometimes be near us. or wait to welcome us on the borders of spirit-land, is well suited to impress the mind. A little girl, in a family of my acquaintance a lovely and precious child, lost her mother at an age too early to fix the loved features in her remembrance. She was as frail as beautiful; and as the bud of her heart unfolded, it seemed as it won by that mother’s prayers to~ turn in stinctively heavenward. ‘Th/sweet conscien tious and prayer-loving child, was the cherished one of the bereaved family. But she faded away earl}’. She would lie upon the lap ofthe friend who took a mother’s kind care of her, and winding one wasted arm about her neck, would say, “Now tell me about mv mamma!” And when the oft-told tale had been repeated, she would ask softly, “take me into the parlor; I want to see my mamma.” The request was never refused, and the affectionate child would lie for hours contentedly gazing on her mother’s portrait. But “ Pale and wan she grew, and weakly— Bearing all her pain so meekly, That to them site still grew dearer, As the trial hour drew nearer.” J hat hour came at last, and the weeping neighbors assembled to see the child die. The dew of death was already on the flower, as its life sun was going down. The little chest heaved fai nll v, spas modical Iv. “Do you know me, darling ?’’ sobbed, close to her ear, the voice that was dearest; but it awoke no answer. Al! at once a brightness, as if from the upper world, burst over the child’s colorless counte nance. The eyelids flashed open, the lips par ted, the wan, cuddling hands flew up, in the little one’s last impulsive effort, as she looked piercingly into the far above. ‘Mother!’she cried, with surprise and trans port in her tone, and passed with that breath into her mother’s bosom. Said a distinguished divine who stood by that bed of joyous death : Ts I never believed in the ministration of de parted ones before, I could not doubt it non.’ ——h>— nena— PA R ENT AL FAITH FULNESS. •Many years since, when the late Lieutenant Governor Philips, of Andover, Massachusetts, was a student at Harvard College, owing to some boyish freak, lie left the university, and went home. His father was a very grave man, of sound mind, strict judgement, and of few words. He inquired into the business, but tleler ed expressing any opinion uyifl th next day. At breakfast he said speaking o his wife. “ My dear, have you any % ill in tli\ house suitable to make Sam a frock and trousers?” Site reolied, “ Yes.” “Well,” said the old gentleman, “follow me, my son.” Samuel kept pace with his father, ns he leis urely walked near the common, and at length ventured to ask, “ U hat are you a going to do with me fath er?”, “I am going to bind you an apprentice, to that blacksmith,” replied Mr. Philips. “Take your choice ; return to college, or you must work.’’ “I had rather return,” said the son. He did return, confessed his fault, was a good scholar, and became a respectable man. If all parents were like Mr. Philips, the stu dents at our colleges would prove better stu dents, or the nation would have a plentiful sup ply of blacksmiths. The Beggar and the Leper. A POOR beggar, overwhelmed with want and misery, resolved one day to drown himself. Arrived at the brink of the river, he was about to throw himself in when a leper, who was passing asked him'to point out they dwelling of a certain physician, who might perhaps he able to cure him. “Brother,” said the beggar, “you had bet ter follow my example, and thus speedily deliv. er yourself from your malady.” “No,’ replied the leper, “I wish to recover; I am by no means tired of life.” A wise man, who was passing by, and heard the dialogue, then said : “ My friends, if you each persist in your first resolution, you ought to exchange your modes of action. Let the leper plunge frequen tly into the water and he will be cured ; while you, poor man, may commit suicide in the speediest and most certain manner posible, by putting yourself into the hands of a physician.” A Miser. A miser, who, in order to save expense used to draw water every day for his daily use fell one morning into the well. Several persons ran to his aid, and stooping down, said with compassion : “Give me your hand and we will draw you out.” “Give?” cried the miser, “give! I never give anything !’’ So he sank beneath the water, and was drowned. For House Keepers.— Mince Meat. — Two pounds of beef, four of suet, four of apples, four of rasins, four of sugar, all minced very fine, to which add five pints of brandy, and two of Madeira wine. Pulverize finely, one-fourth of an ounce of mace, and the same quantity of cinnamon and of allspice, and a half ounce of orange peel, one grated nutmeg and an ounce of salt. Keep closely covered in a jar. Transparent Pudding—Motot eggs very light, add to them one pound of finelv pulver ized loaf sugar, and halt a pound of creamed butter. Season with essence of lemon, or van illa, if you prefer it. An Antidote for Poison.—Mr. Potter, a gentleman living in Morgan street, in this city, a few days since, swallowed a large quantity of corrosive sublimate, through mistake, supposing it to be wine. lie instantly became aware of his error, and recollected the reined v prescribed for such by A. J. Davis the clairvoyant, in his volume entitled “The Physician.” This remedy was the simple one of swallowing, as quick as possible, an average dose of common sweet oil. Fortunately for the sufferer, a bottle of sweet oil stood on the same shelf before him, l from which he had taken the poison, and ho seized and drained it of its contents. The ef fect was instantaneous. The action of the mer cury was arrested, and Mr. P. has since nearly recovered.— N. Y. Times. Amateur Confectionery. Madeira Cakes. —Well beat two eggs, and mix them with eight ounces of butter which has been beaten to a cream.

Sally Lunn Cake.— The original concoctor of this favorite tea-cake, Mrs. Sarah Lunn, resi ded in the fashionable city of Bath, close to its venerable abbv, and though the old house she rendered celebrated has long since been swept away by building improvements, yet the worth v lady’s name is endeared to a grateful posterity, as connected with the delicacy by which she is said to have realized a competency. The cake is thus made: Put a pint of boiling milk into a pan, and when it has become lukewarm pour half a tumbler of yeast upon it; stir well, and add as much flour as will make a good still’ hat ter ; cover the pan with a cloth, and place it be fore the fire for two hours.

Divide it ito cakes, put them on tins, and | bake in a well-heated oven. An Election Story. A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta, furnishes the following capital story, which hits hard all travelling candidates for office : One day, just as l was going to sit down to dine on a nice fat capon that my wife had laid upon the table, (the capon was just large enough for her and me) and 1 had pulled the cork out of a cool bottle of claret, a man walk ed up the gallery steps, hat in hand, bowing and smoking, and says he : ‘Good day, sir—this is Mr. Timson, I believe, sir V ‘Yes, sir, that is rnv name—take a seat sir.’ ‘Thank you, Mr. Timson ;’ said he laying his hat on one side and planting himself in a chair with an air that showed plainly enough that nty fat capon was in danger. ‘Very warm weather, sir,’ said he. ‘ Very,’ said I. ‘Shall I trouble you for a drink of water V said he. ‘Oh, no trouble,’ said I; ‘here, Polly,’ (to a negro gill,) ‘go get the decanters upon the side board ; walk in, sir, and take something to stim-! ulate the system.’ ‘Well, really,’ said he, ‘I hardly ever drink any thing.’ ‘Oh, it won’t hurt you, sir,’ said I; ‘walk in, walk in.’ lie did walk in, and as he passed the table, he cast his eye upon my capon. Mrs. Timson saw the glance and un tied pale—not that my j dear wife begrudged the capon, but she knew that there was not enough for three and there was no time to cook another. He took a stiff horn, and then turned around and told me his name was Grimpkin, and that be was a candi date for the Legislature. I told him I was t 0 his acquaint ance, and introduced him to Mrs. Timsou, who told him she was very glad to see him. Poor woman,she told a white one that time; but I hope she will be forgiven for it—in fact, she was driven to it, you know; and I invited him to sit down and take dinner. Mrs. Timson ex cused herself, with the plea that she had to go out and attend to a negro child that had just been taken very sick, (may the guilty— that is, the candidate —suffer tor that sin, too, as I am confident will be the case) and left us to divide the capon between us—she, dear heart, dined on mush and milk! Very little of that capon did I eat, and very little of my claret passed ipy hps ! 1 had Mr. Grirapkin’s horse fed, too, and he kept, me up, after dinner, talking about what he meant to do when he got into the Leg islature, whilst I would have given more for my after dinner nap than 1 would for all his prin ciples and brains put together. I didn’t pro mise to vote for him, but hinted very strongly that wav. The fact is, I never heard ot him before, Well, he went away, and I lay down on the gallery and went to sleep. I had gone off into a deep and glorious snooze, and was dreaming that a huge monster with forty heads (on each of which was a great brass gimlet, ala rhinoceros) had announced himself as a candidate for all the offices witbio the gift of the people, when Mrs. Timson (who would uo more have dared to disturb my sies ta on ordinary occasions than she would have cut off her little huger,) tickled my nose with a feather, and I awoke in a very had humor. ‘Dang it all, Mrs. Timson, my dear!’ said 1 atariiug up and rubbing my buruiug eyes, ‘what did you disturb me for, eh, Mrs. Timsou. ‘Oh, don’t speak so loud,’ said she iu a whis per, ‘there’s a gentleman sitting in the parlor; i another candidate.’ L put ou a calm countenance and walked iu, | and there sat an intelligent, bright looking young man, whom I saw at a glance was ageu- ! lleinan, disguised tis a candidate. He rose up , autlapoliguMtl very gnuxffuUy tor having dia- j turbeU me, and told iuu he was a caudidate ; that inexorable custom compelled him to visit the people, and that lie wished to occupy as little of their time, and give them as little trou ble as possible. ‘iSir,’ said I with fervor, ‘you shall have my vote; you are a man of sense ; you are a gen tletnau—l see that, notwithstanding your dis guise, and I’ll vote for you, sir! \Vhat are your politics, and for what office do you run ?’ j lie explained it all, and alter I had pressed hint to eat a little dinner, and refresh himself at the sideboard, he left. 1 advised Mrs. Timson to have some capons always dressed and some claret always cooling —aud it was well 1 did so. That night three candidates slept at my house ; oue was running for Justice of the Peace, one for Constable, the other for Congress. They discussed the affairs of the nation wiiu considerable warmth until after midnight —the Constable getting rather the l>est ot it, as Mrs. Timson and 1 both thought, and then went to bed —the whole three being as 1 thought, (and Mrs. Timseti re marked the same tiling) rather tight. The next day seven candidates visited my house with me, and four more slept in my beds, i’hree had already retired when the fourth came. Mrs. Tim on had only two spare beds, therefore they slept two in a bed. About rive minutes after 1 had conducted the new comer to the room where the oue candidate was in bed, 1 heard a tremendous racket—loud voices —a crashing of furniture —a tailing ot bodies — aud such cursing and swearing as 1 never be fore heard in my house. 1 ran to the room, at the door of w inch stood the candidates, looking at the scene of destruction. ‘Why, Mr. Timson,’said one, ‘‘why did you put these two men in bed together j W by, sir, they are both running for Clerk; and they are just as hostile towards one another as two men can be!’ I looked into the room, and there stood Mr. Squirt with one of Mrs. Titnson’s beatitul piec es of crockery held aloft in his. hand, (like Jove poising a thunderbolt.) ready to descend upon the head of Mr. Spotts, who held up as a shield, a part of the same vessel. They had already broken the looking-glasses on the bureau, had demolished two chairs, and tom the musquito bar into shreds, and the bridge of Mr. Spott s nose was badly skinned. I succeeded iu stop ping the row, and after two hours spent in w rit ing and accepting challenges, and drinking my old rye, the parties shook hands, and went to bed together. fjlUhaU The Locofocos and The Future. The Pennsylvanian , in reply to our remarks a few days since, says that ‘all differences between mere men are soon adjusted when there is a common union upon principles,’ but it fails to enlighten us whether there ex ists only personal hostility but a difference of political views between the leaders of its party. The following article, which we copy at length from the Lancasterian, the organ of the Democratic War Horse of Lancaster, would seein to justify the charge that there is not‘a common union of principles,’ and much less a com-, mon bond of friendship and good will now existing among the so-called Democratic leaders in PennsyL Tania :— Phil. News. NORTH ABOUT FACE! Mr. Buchanan’s first move in the Presidential game having failed, he is now making the second. The first was his barefaced attempt to secure the ul tra Southern feeling by announcing his Missouri Line extension policy. For a time this seemed promising.— Nashville Convention secessionists hailed it with en thusiasm. All the hotspurs and fire-eaters were for it; and the elections of the past suitimer and present fall, were to show that this and nothing else could set tle the ire of the fathers, and assure the safety of the mothers and daughters of the South. But lo and be hold 1 The elections are over, and the whale South— Arkansas, Georgia and Mississippi, are. and even S. Carolina herself, have declared for the Compromise acts, and for Ceiieral Cass’s non-intervention policy. Months ago this result was foreseen, and that so plain ly that the father of the Missouri line extension him self had to come out for the Compromise acts, and is now one of their loudest advocates. Having thus failed in obtaing any advantage ever oth ers in the Southern market, Air. Buchanan is now mak ing his next move in the N,orth. It i6 one that lias long been expected, though kept back till now when it is sup posed the fullness of time has arrived. Premonitory symptoms of it first openly appeared since the Into Governor’s election in the laudations of Mr. 8.. by the Whig press of the Slate generally*; at length tl,e 500 Whig subscribers of his organ, the Pennsylva nian, are thus informed that they can get such a Tariff as they wish for—for a price : ‘Every great interest in this country must at last depend upon the Democratic party. That party which was denounced as the destroyer of trade when it erect ed the Independent Treasury—as the assaillant of cred it when it crushed the Bank of the United States — and as the foe of industry when it established the liberal revenue law qf ’46, —lias been time and again vindicated by the triumphant issue which has followed a full trial of each of these daring and brilliant experi ments—consequences always sure to reward every movement based upon the eternal principles which must regulate and control all republican nations that expect to be worthy ot their high destiny. This is a lesson that those concerned in leading interests in this State have laid to their hearts, and we are sure that the national pride of our iron counties will find that they may rely on a Democratic Congress for a careful and attentive consideration of every just claim that they may bring before it.’ Here we have it plump and plain, the short English being this; Whigs who are Iron Masters, Coal-mine owners and operators, and Cotton Factory Proprietors, you can never expect such protection, in the way of a Tariff as you wish from a Whig President, but come in and vote for James Buchanan, and he being sound on this subject, will, if you help to elect him, so place the matter before Congress, that you shall have that justice which former Democratic administrations de nied you This is the long and short of it. To the South was offered the Buchanan Proviso , i. e.—a Proviso absolutely establishing slavery on one side and prohibiting it on the other side of a certain line jl of latitude. This unconstitutional measure of course did not lake. And now to the cotton lords, iron-mas ters, and coal owners of the North the next bid i* made. We have no doubU or fears of the result. Timo will show that with less bluster there is as much true chivalry in the North as in the South; and that even if Northern Whigs were base enough to bite at such a trasparent bait, Northern Democrats know how to ap-i preciate such a shallow political juggle. “ A Roland 'oh an Oliver. I’—The 1 ’ —The fob lowing letter we clip from the New York Her-; ald! ’ Wit or Presidential Astir ants —An ex cellent story is told here, which l have not yet seen in print. During the recent great fair at Rochester, a number of gentlemen met a* a dinner party and amon” the galaxy of bright peculiarities of the day, Stephen A. Douglass, and distinguished ex-Secrelary of War, Gov. 1 ernor Marcy. The wit and the wine flew apace; and at length Governor Marcy, with one ot those knowing looks of his, arose and proposed “the health of Mr. Douglass, the ablo Senator Irom Hlinois->tnay he he continued fin the next six years to fill his place in the senate, which he has already so much graced*” The meaning of the sally was evident, and Maiey’s eyes twinkled with satisfaction at the ‘‘hit.” No wise abashed, however, “the little giant“ struigtened himself out, and after returning thanks, concluded by giving “the distinguished ex-Secretary of W ar. Governor Murcv, with not a spot on his character ami but one patch on bis breeches.’’ Peals ot laughter succeeded the retort, shortly after which the U jveinor was missing. Ex Senator We stcett. The following: are the views of this gentle, man on New York, Ohio, & .New England Democracy. I am a radical democrat—-!ooofi>co, if you please—but as is universally known, very am iable and mild. But 1 take occasion to say 1 have no affiliation with or sympathy for, the conglomerated compound ot heterogeneous ina-. lerials, abolitionists, free-suiters, fugitive slave law repealers, and old hunkers, professing to be Union-loving and law-abiding, and so forth, styled the New Yoik democracy. It is no bet-, ter than that of Massachusetts and Ohio. | hope they will get beat next month. The true democrats deserve it for keeping bad company'. —Thrashing and starvation are the only rem-. edies lo reslore them to sound political health. If they would emulate Daniel S. Dickinson there would be some hope in Israel. As. it i* the case is desperate. Hypocrisy,-— The Buffalo Comtnmercial Advertiser says it never doubted that the par* ade of love for the 1 1 i-h. and all that sort of clap trap, which has been made by the democracy, was the sheerest hypocrisy imaginable. The votes of the Irish were wanted, and nothing else. See, continues the Advertiser, R, J, Walker, the pet of the democracy, rejoicing with Englishmen over the liberation of Kos | sulh from Austrian bondage, and pledging his i countrymen to war for England against des-. potism, when Smith O’Brien, Meagher and Mitchel, and the other patriots of Ireland, are suffering in exile among felons and outlaw* lor the same alleged crime which consigned Kossuth to a Turkish prison. Not one voice was raised for them ; nor was a,ny sympathy for their cause or the fate invoked by the shrewd negotiator who, in the midst of his af fected zeal for English liberty, was not un mindful that an appeal for Ireland would not commend himself nor his mission to English capitalists. Xon-InterTOntion. The New York Express publishes an excel lent article, in which it emphatically declare* the true American policy to be non-interven tion. To war against the world, it says, is not our business ; the days of crusaders are over; and we have enough to do to keep liberty secure at home. The great American policy of non-interven tion, sanctioned by experience and consecra ted by wisdom, it is not likely the oountry will ever reverse, much less send an army to the Danube, among the Croats, the Magyars and Sclaves. If we once begin it, there is no end to it If we begin to-day a war with Russia o; Austria, to-morrow the Protestants will g&U upon usto dethrone the Hierarchy of Rotne, the gre.at anti-Christ. Tbe religious wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries will all be revived. Mazainr appeals to us now from classic and consecrated soil. The legions of Republican France have trodden down de mocracy upon fk? eternal hills of the world* Imperial city, under the >ky where Cato lived, and Cicero thundered and St. Paul preached All our hearts are there. Tens of thousands long to be demolishing the Vatican. The Mpgvars, the Croats, the Sclaves are name* as inha’ monious and unknown in our ears as the Cammanche, the Pottawatami* and Ojibbe\v*j Ireland, too, is America, and America is Ire. land. Instead of acting with Great Britain to, restore Kossuth to Pesth orCornom, we should prefer acting against Great Britain to restore Smith O’Brien to Dublin or Limerick. There is no stomach for a fight, on the Bla.-I; St*x, when we have so much more to do upou the green hills and valleys of Erin. Xcw Congressional Organization.
