In silent majesty impenetrable—
Resistless and eternal in thy track,

Fraught with our all of hope and eternity—
By the unnoticed ages may pass—have ,pa*sed;
Uur atom here, has throbbed with wars,
Confusions— discontents— our eyes vainly
Have striven to pierce the unfathomable “
Gloom—the powei suspending the incessant—Lol

That God is great. *>

Eternal, andfdivinr. AVe rise unto the sunlight—
£re the mono has passed, our eyes are dazzl’d and
Bedimmed, and twilight finds us waiting for

Existence is n novol in two parts.

Dear Sir.: A few days since two men,

T..C Germans have produced some
very excellent remedies for various dis
ases. Among which may be specified
“Dr floolland’s celebrated bitters,” for
sale bv C. M. Jackson—and used with
retnaikable success in Liver Complaint,
Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debiiity,
and a general derangement of the stomach
ihe Sunday Despatch says of this medi
cin* :“VVe feel convinced, that in the use of
the German Bitters the patient does not
become debilitated, but constantly 7 gains
strength and vigor to the frame—a fact
worthy of great consideration. The Bit
:ers are pleasant in taste and in sme l, and
can or administered under any circum
stances, to the most delicate stomach.—
Indeed they cart be used by all persons
w ith the most perfect safety. I. would
be well for those who are much affected
in the nervous system, to commence with
one teaspoonful or less, and gradually
increase \\ e speak from experience,

with peifect safety, and a certainty of es

general debility, sick headaches, diseases
of the stomach, biie or liver complaints,
and those who are predisposed to dropsy
cannot use a more effectual remedy than

Dr. John M inge, of the City of Rich*
mond, though a regular physician, and
of course opposed to what he called quack

effects in the case of Mr. Ramsey, were
wonderful indeed.
He had been given up by several phy

When Macbaon, the Greek Physician
was slain, Homer said of him, “a good
Physician is worth as much as a whole
army.” Then a good medicine like
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills, is worth a great
deal more, because it cures as well, works
wider, and lasts longer. The circln ot
the best Physician’s labor must be narrow,
while such a remedy is available to all
can be had by every body, and is worth
having.

SOUTHERN LIBERAL
INSTITUTE .
rglHB Exercises of this School, at GRIFFIN,
jB. GA., wil he resumed on Monday, the 7th of
August, lor the instruction ol both Males and Fe
males, under the supervision of WM. WAL
LACE, and such other assistance, as the best
interests oi the School may require. Believing
that a thorough knowledge of Ihe Elementary
principles, con tituting as they do, the basis of
education, should be obtained as a preparatory
step on which to reach the higher branches of a
polite and class'cal education, special attention
will be given to Orthography, Arithmetic, En
glish Grammar, Rules of Composition, TV riling,
&e. The Libera l Institute shall be, both in the
ory and practice, what it purports lobe in name: ah
Institution for the education of Students, entirely
free from all sectarian bias or influences. While
allatudents euteri.igtlie school w ill be required to
demean themselves in such a manner as will com
port with the strictest principles of gentility and
morality, no student, will be permitted to re
main in the institute, who manifests a disposi
tion to continue in the violation of good and
wholesome discipline. The frame and constitution
of human nature have not failed to convhce the
reflecting portion of mankind, that gentle thougd
firm systems of school discipline, under the guie
ance of moral suasion, have proved far supcrdi
in correcting errors and regulating actions, to to
potent rod and other means ol terror; thetenden
ey of which is merely to three a compliance wit
requisitions whilst in sight—to superinduce thus
servile dispositions, which arc at total varianc
with such principles of magnanimity and indee
pendence as constitute the true nobility of char
acter. The tact that the “proper study of man
kiml, is in n.” has proved the necessity ol'introdu
cmg such books as ts.ct books which discuss the
Mental and Physical Constitution of Man
herefo're Comb’s Constitution of man and
‘Mental and Physical Physiology” will lie classed
with the prominent text books in (he Institute.—
Arrangements are being made for engaging the
se. vices of a competent lady, to take charge of the
*tintents who may wish to lake lessons m music,
drawing, painting, &e. Thc exercises of the
school will close with an unvarnished examination
of the pupiis, of which due notice will tie given.—
The building is large and airy, and well adapted
to educational purposes, thc entire length of the
house being plena red tort ite use of t lie malt stu
