They are peculiarly adapted to the regulation of a sluggish state of the bowels, operating either as an luterative, or mild apperient, not only relieving by their immediate action, but gradu ally correcting the dcrmieement of the digestive functions. For this purpose, a single pill, taken at bed time, whenever the bowels require it, is the proper dose, without any other change in the mode of living, than prudence would dictate, if no medicine was taken. Gentle as is the operation of a single pill taken as above directed, they nre also admirably adopted to more acute bilious disorders, bv doubling the dose, or repealing cone every hour, or tw o until active operation is produced. They are particularly onvenient to the traveller who in sum mer is always exposed to more or less bilious derangement. Sparta, 15th June, 1839. I certify, t'tat I have used Duct. C. E.

POETRY. “like orient pearls at random strung.” For the Standard of Union. Mr. Editor : —The following lines were penn’d on the Fourth day of July last, whilst the author was congratulating his own, his native land on the advantages we as a nation enjoyed. Calling to niind the circum stances anil instances which gives this bright epoch so grateful a recol lection; and reflecting with patriotic pride upon the character of our great Revolutionary Heroes, by whose noble daring we were released from bondage, tyranny, and oppression, my next thought gave rise to the inquiry, what first gave impetus to the ball that was on this proud day *76, put in motion—the answer voluntarily forced itself upon me, “ THE PRESS.” Time was, when kings, by right divine, maintained, Sway undisputed o’er the nations chair ed: The monarch’s will was law*; his potent breath, • Imprisoned, scourged, or hurled to instant death; The fate of millions hung upon his nod, Heaven’s great vicegerent, scarcely than God. That time is past. May ne’er return again, Terror and folly’s more than slavish reign: That tune is past. The great discovery’s made, That man is man, and knows no higher grade; And truth proclaims in thunder from the Press, The best of kings are men—the worst are less. The Press ! man’s firmest friend in every age, Sheds its broad light o’er history’s ample page; From times remote illustrious deeds brings down, In all their truth 1’ instruct and mend our own; Lifts the thick veil from tyranny’s design, And bids the sun of Freedom rise and shine. The Press ! what many wonders has it done! W hat victories for the cause of Freemen won! The Gallic despot who its power defied, Wrapped in the vain conceit of regal pride: Roams a poor exile from his native shore. O’er lands where, exiled, long he roamed before; And finds at every stage some free Gazette, Devoid of fear, to lush a tyrant yet. The Press and man are doomed one fate to share, And both are free, or both base vassals are; A Press untrammelled kindles freedom’s fires, Restrain the Press and Liberty expires. NONapreil. THE SELECTOR- “I AM BUT A GATHERER OF OTHER MEN'S STUFFS.” one’s MOTHER. Around the idea ol one’s mother the mind clings with fond affection. It is the fir-t dear thought stamp ed upon our infant hearts, when yet soft and capable of receiving the most profound impressions, and all the alter feelings are more or less light in comparison. Our passions aud our wilfulness may lead us far from the object of our filial love; we may become wild, headstrong, and angry at her counsels and opposi tion ; but when death has stilled her monitory voice, and nothin 4 but calm memory remains to recapitulate her virtues and good deeds, affection, like a flower beaten to the ground by a rude storm,, raises up her head and smiles amidst her tears. Round that idea, as we have said, the mind clings with fond affection ; and even when the early period of our loss forces memory to be silent, fancy takes the place of remembrance, and twines the image of our departed parent with a gar land of graces, and beauties, and virtues, which we doubt not that she possessed, GRIEF. The circumstance which Scott mentions, as having overcast the pleasure ol an excursion he once made, was the death ofltis friend, the Dutchess ol' Bttccleuyh. His letter to her widowed lord is a beautiful specimen of .good sense and feeling. “Would to God,” he writes, “1 could say, be comforted! but I feel every I common topick of consolation must be, for the time at least, even an irritation to affliction. Grieve then, my dear lord, or I should say, my dear and inuc.li hon ored friend, for sorrow for the time levels the highest distinctions ol rank, but do not grieve as those who have no hope.” SENTIMENT. W hat is called sentimental wri'ing, though it be un derstood to appeal solely to the heart, may be the pro duct ol a bad one. One would imagine that Sterne had been a man of a very tender heart—yet I know from indubitable authority, that his mother, who kept a school, having run in debt, on account of anextrav agant daughter, would have rotted in jail, if the pa rents of her scholars had not raised a subscription for her. Her son bad too much sentiment to have any feeling. A dead ass was more important to him than a living mother. PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE. Boccacio was thirty-five years when he commenced his studies in polite literature. Yet he became one of the great masters of the Tuscan dialect, Dante and I etrach being the other two. There are many among us ten years younger than Boccacio, who are dying of ennui and regret that they are not educated to a taste for literature, supposing that they are too old. FAMILY EXPENSES. Archdeacon Paley, in a familiar table discourse touciiing upon the expenses brought bv original sin upon husbands and fathers in the way of cambrick and satin, says—“ I never let my women, (he it under stood he spoke of Mrs. Archdeacon Paley and the Misses Paley.) I never let my women, when they shop, take credit; I always make them pay readv money. Sit, i eady money, is such a check upon the imagina tion!” CONSTANCY. The constant man looks up to heaven in full hope, even when it is darkened; as flowers, that open w”' the sun, close not, though he be bid bv elm ' A SACK IF’ When the heart is offered heaven sometimes come« that it is accepted. [The following Tale was written for the editor of the Old Dominion while engaged in the publication of the New York Amulet. It cannot fail being read with intense interest.] EVER AR D GRAH AM . by willis gaylord clarke, of i*hiladelpiiia, “Take back the bowl—take back the bowl— Reserve it for polluted lips;— I would not bow a stainless soul, Beneath its dark aud foul eclipse!” J. G. WHITTIER. There are evils in the earth, upon which the eloquence ol the orator, the lyre of the poet, aud the deep and over wrqught touches of the pencil and the pen, have dwelt al most in vain. In their description, the wealth of language is turned into penury ; the darkest dream of anguish and distress, but faintly sit tdows forth the stern and moving re ality. The strong and emphatic language of Holy Writ; the burning words of David and of Solomon, are almost impuissant when theypire employed in painting the-awful horrors of infidel unbelief, and that destruction of the bo dy and soul which follows in the train of Protean Drunk enness. They are more dire than the fabled Furies; the abysses they open are fiercer than Cocylusor Plegtethon; their grasp is more powerful than the serpents of Laocoon; the burtliens whic# they impart are more wearisome than the stone ol Sysiphus or the wheel of Ixion; and their ascendancy is unbroken, until the understanding is bewiU dered, and the clouded eye becomes tearless; until the heart becomes as adamant, and the spirit is goaded and restless beneath the dominion of remorse : till the eat tin gles with the adder-hisses of cowaid conscience, and the unnerved bosom writhes in the emotions of regret which pierce like ascot pion’s sting. Infidelity’ and intemperance go hand in hand. They bid the spirit of youth bow down at an unholy shrine ; and the sweetest affections, the dearest hopes and fondest visions of eaith are offered up as incense to the mysterious divini ty ot unbelief. This is no ideal picture ; the wide world is lull of the afflictions that ate summoned up like clouds aiotnid the davious pathway of the blasphemer and the' drunkard. The red wine brightens alluringly in the goblet; the shadowy illusions of the sceptic come but for a little season with a soothing unction to his mind ; but anon there steals to the one, the wormwood dregs of bitter regret: to the otheT, the clouds which obscure the sunshine of hope; which spread a mournful curtain over the beautiful scenes ot human existence, and create unutterable forebo dings of that undiscovered country beyond lite land ,>f death. I have little hope that the tale which I am about to re late, will cause any to release the delusions which they have grasped; but I am never without hope.* I would that my pen were dipped in the eptpvreal fire of heaven, that I might show the light which they reject w ho turn from the word of inspiration. I would I tni<>ht gather upon canvass, the datktiess ol the midnight cloud, and the fierce lightning of the tempest : f wmiM form a panorama ol terrors, which should shadow forth to the mad votary of Bacchus, and the victim of unbelief, the abyss of destruc tion upon which they are lushing; which should sav to them, “ 1 util ye at my reproot, and heed not the song ol the charmer, charm he never so wisely.” * It was a storm .■ eveniuo in J anuarv, 18—when mv (pend Everard Graham, and myself, hv our com fortable grate, in the Seminary’ of G- . The coal was reddenning bi bitid the bats of its prison'; and the cheer fulness of our little room was enhanced by the storm with out. \\ e had hut lately come up from recitations and prayers in lite chapel ; and had for some time been seated in silence, each indulging in our respective thoughts. The snow came pattering gently against the windows; and I v way of beguiling tile time, 1 arose and breathed upon a pane, and wrote thereon my humble initials. Without, the scene was troublous and uninviting. The wide stretch ing inland was obscured by the thick wing of the wintry tempest; the wild anthem of the night-wind was loud and dissonant; and 1 soon found that the shadows of the scene around me were gathering over my mind. My thoughts went forth amidst the curtained skies of evening; and mighty ideas o! infinity and boundless space—the mystery of the air—the distance wl ence the little motes of snow had fallen: and 1 was in miiiiia'.!'.'!!. I was mused from my reverie by the entrance of a lad bearing a letter. I stepped forward ;it was for my friend. His large hazel eye was lit up pleasantly, and a kind'v smile ot unwonted delight passed over his brow and cheek. He had for some days been moody and restless; and 1 marked his emotions of pleasure with a lively enjoyment, to which tin instant before I was a stranger. “ 'I his is the most lucky moment to receive a letter that I ever experienced,” said Graham, indulging in that laugh which comes from the heart. “ You see,” said he, “ that it is from a woman ; the primes muliiris of my affections. But I belie her; she is not a.woman; in the general ac ceptation of the term—she is an angel.” I glanced at the letter as he extended it to me ; and the direction was really most beautiful. The blue surface of the epistle seemed to have just passed from beneath the hands of the copperplate printer, “ You see,” said Gra ham, “ that it is beautiful ; now let me read it ; and as you are my confidant, 1 will show you the Alpha and the Ome ga ol it.” He broke the seal; it began with u Dea est Everard,” and dosed with “ Forever yours, Emilie .Bar ton.” “You are not entitled to further freedom;” said my friend : “ Now, go meditate, and let my greedy eves ‘de vour up her discourse;’ or, seeing your curiositv’is awa kened, I will give you her picture, ‘for you to look t pon,’ as the Primer hath it.” He drew from his bosom a miniature, suspended by a golden chain : “ There said he, “is one half of my hearty It is the most beautiful halt by’ far ; anil I dare be sworn, the most innocent. Now, if you admire it, let vottr ad miration be unspeakable ; for I shall not be at home, do ing the next half hour, to any body. To save inquiries, however, I will say a word or two to you rcspectiiig her. She is my intended : I first knew her at the Saratoga co tilions ; iter father is an englishman ; but her mother is one of our cis-Atlantic daughters of Eve. It is the long lapse of time since I have heard from the dear gill, that has given me the blues so of late.” I took the miniature; and never shall I forget tbo un sullied and perfect beauty that then dawned upon me.— The stainless brow was shaded with rich clustersand braids of hair, of the colour ol gold in shadow; the eve was mild and blue: but about the sweet lips, that seemed th* balmy prison gates of delicious kisses, and the dir. 3 ' and rose-leaf cheek, there: prayed such a pore and tified smile, that the picture seemed to he instinct v life ol heaven.

She was too affectionate to endure the emotions of a farewell, and wrote me late in consequence. She has quoted Scripture to nig in her epistle; something odd for her; but it is expressive. She is not aware that 1 eschew the whole of that book which she holds so sacred. But we will not jar each other on that topic. I shall see her by’ June in the British metropolis ! I might as well make my couch on that ardent grate, as to remain where she is not.” I returned to him the treasure he had shown rne : and if 1 indulged in tinmingled encomium upon its pervading loveliness, I trust it was not undeserved or hypocritical.—• The eye of my friend glistened with gratification. “ There is never a sweet without its bitter,” he said, “often when that beloved gill and I have walked along the vernal shore of the lake which stretches along by the mansion of her father, as I gazed upon her speaking eye ana sinless brow, I have thought myself utterly un>votthy ol her affection. .Bhe is too full of etherial purity for my guilt-tainted soul. You know, what she does not, that lam a sceptic. Her ductile and elastic spirit is full of praise to God when site looks upon his works. Often has shg spoke to me of the mercies of heavenj in making us ?q supremely happy in our love; and, like all her sex, her woman’s heart seems to forebode evil from the transitory nature of the things of this world. Howznany times, as we have reposed beneath the trellised vines of her father’s garden, have I pressed her to my throbbing bosom, anfl kissed away the tears which sensibility had drawn to her check !

I refused his offer to renew my draught, and soon after retired. hen 1 awoke in the morning, the room was full of the smoke of the lamp ; and Graham bad not been in bed. The wine had disappeared from the bottle, and the lamp was upset on the ininiatu: e which he had laid upon theta? hie, and it was Urolien.
