They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of experiment, and non stand before the public as huh in reputation, and as exten sively employed in all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering man. They have been introduced w herever it was found possible to carry them; and there are but few towns that do not contain some remarkable evidences of their good effects. The certificates that have been presented to the proprietor exceed twenty thousand ! upwards of fivo hundred of w hich are from reg ular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this medicine been the subject of editorial comment, in various newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no medicine of the kind has ever received testimonials of greater value than are attached to this. They are iu general use ns a family medicine andthere are thousands of families who declare they are never satis fied until they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Biilious Fe vers, Feverand Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache,"Jaundice Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, En largement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic. Female obstructions. Heartburn. Furred Tongue, Nausea. Distension of the Stom ach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrheea, Flatulence, Habitual Costiveness, Loss of Appetite. Blotched or sallow Complex ion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, whet ea cathartic or aperient is needed. They are exceedingly mild iu their op eration, producing neither nausea, griping uordebility. From Dr. Eli Todd, late President of the Medical Society, of Connecticut, ami Principal of the In sane Hospital, at Hartford, dated September 8, 1828. MY personal acquaintance with Dr. Joseph Priestly Pe ters, together with the very favorable, impression of his talents and his character, derived from his friends, have sat isfied me that he is well entitled to the medical honors he re ceived at Yale College, and that the public may safely con fide in his integrity and skill, in the exercise of his profession. The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a highly respectable Planter of Wake County, N. Ca., March 3d, 1838. Dr. Peters—Dear Sir,—By request of your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost mi raculeus effects of your pills; and I would add, that you may make use of them, in connection with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I speak of their merits ftom ex perience, as I and my family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three years; and so great are the benefits we have received from them in general, th it I would rather pur chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house without them. I will not enumerate the afflictions they have reliev ed us of; but I can assure you they were many, and of very opposite natures, which has fully proved to me that your medicine is a simple purifier of the system, and therefore equally the enemy of every disease. I w ill mention one case. I have a sister who hatl been for a long period severely as Aided with dropsy in the chest and was brought by it to the verge of the grave. She was attended by the most eminent physicians that money could procure; but all their efforts to restore her to health, or even to mitigate her sufferings wete fruitless ; and accordingly, we all considered her immediate death as inevitable. By good fortune, however, as she was in this situation, expecting every day to be her last, your pills were introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal pable were their effects that three doses visibly- relieved hei, and in less than three months she was perfectly restored to health. The case, I and all who were witness of it, but (more especially the suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to .miraculous; and yet I could mention many more of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills w < sffrqnally sue cessful in rescuing the patients from the jaw s of death. Need I add that the popularity ofyour medicine amounts to enihu siasm in this section of the country ! But this 1 presume you know from the immense quantity you dispose of. I may mention, however, that notwithstanding its general use, 1 never heard an individual complain of its effects. My resi dence is 12 miles from Raleigh on the road to Fayetteville. I am with sentiments of regard, your oli’t servant. a. g. banks. To Dr. Peters, —Sir—for upwards of fifteen mouths I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the time could find nothing—though I had applied to every thing that gave me any thing like permanent relief. At length, however, your pills were recommended to me, by otic of.our best physicians, and I am most grateful and happy iu being able to add, that I had scarcely used two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me to perfect health Since then, various members of my family have used them with equal success— and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise you of the fact, and to request of you to publish this certificate, as I am anxious to add tny public testimony to the almost miraculous virtues of your unrivalled medicine. THEODORE JAMES. Augusta. Ga. Feb. If), 1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. IL Ir win of Florence, Georgia; 1, Dr. J. P.

The Boston Transcript says : —“ The following song has never been published, and now appears in print for the first time. It was written by Thomas Haynes Bailey.expressly for Mr. Knight,and was intended a s the sequel to ‘ She wore a Wreath of Roses? ” When last I saw this church, it was the morn of a wedding, And through the village crowd, a glad murmur was spreading; She conies! the lady eeines ! throw the gate open wider; She comes ! it was the bride, with her bushand beside her. How beautiful she looked in the bridal procession, Her features wore so pdre and so blest an expression! She smiled upon the friends who came near to caress her, And I, although unknown, cried with fervor “God bless Ir'r!” One year has passed away—to the same church returning, I hear a mu filed bell and the accents of mourning; I cannot but look back to the morn of the wedding; And. oh ! ’ts for the bride that these sad tears arc shedding. 'The youth now stands alone, who beside her was kneeling— Alone, his pallid face with his mantle concealing, He prays to be relieved from the pangs that oppress him, And 1, although unknown,cried with fervor “ God bless him!” THE MONKS OF OLD. This pathetic poem,by the author of “ Richelieu,” was written on a melancholy occasion; the author having visited an old monastic church on the continent of Europe, to bury a beloved infant. 1 envy them—those monks of old— Their books they read, and lheir beads they told; To human softness dead and cold, And ail life’s vanity. They dwelt like shadow • on the earth, Free from the penalties of birth, Nur let one feeling venture forth But charity. I envy them; their cloistered hearts Knew not the bitter pang that parts Being that ull Affection’s arts *» Hud linked in unity. The tomb to them was not the place To drown the best-loved of lheir race, And blot out each sweet memory’s trace In dull obscurity. . To them it was the calmest bed That rests the aching human head; ’They looked with envy on the dead, And now with agony. No bonds they felt, no ties they broke— No music of the heart they woke, When one brief moment it had spoke To lose it suddenly. Peaceful they lived—peaceful they died; And those that did their fate abide, Saw brothers wither by lheir side, In all tranquility. They loved not—dreamed not —for their sphere Held not joy’s visions; but the lear Os broken hope, of anxious fear, Was not their misery. I envy them—those monks of old ; And when their statues I behold, Curved in the marble, cahn and cold, How true an effigy. I wish my heart was calm and still To beams that fleet and blasts that chill, And pangs that pay joy’s spendthrift thrill With hitter usury. MEDITATIONS ON DEATH. BY REV. OR VILLE DEWEY. In life there are many things which interfere with a just estimate of the virtues of others. There are, i.i some cases, jealousies anil misconstructions, and there, are false appearances; there are veils upon the heart that hide its most secret workings and its sweet est affections from us; there are earthly clouds that come betwet n us and the excellence that we love. So that it is not, perhaps, till a friend is taken from us that we entirely feel his value and appreciate his worth. The vision is loveliest as it is vanishing away, and we perceive it not, perhaps, till we see the parting wing that an angel has been with us. I feel that the dead have conferred a blessing upon me in helping me to think of the world lightly in giv ing a hue ol sadness to the -cenes of this world, while, at the same time, they have clothed it with every glo lious and powerful charm ol association. This m.n gled portion ot energy and humility, of triumph and tenderness, ol glorying and sorrowing is the very spi rit of Christianity. It was the spirit of Jesus— the conqueror and the sufferer. Death was before him, and yet his thoughts were of tiumph. Victory was in his view, and yet what, a victory! No laurel crown was upon his head—no flush o. pride was upon his hiow—no exultation flushed from his eye; sot his was a victory to be gained over death and through death. No laurel crown sat upon his head—but a crown of thorns; no flush of pride was upon his brow, but meekness was enthroned there; no exultation flashed from his eye —but tears flowed from it; “Jesus wept.” Come then to us thatspi’it, at once, of courage and meekness, of fortitude ..mi gentleness; of a life hopeful and h ippy, hut thoughtful of death; of a world bright and beautiful, but passing away! So let us live and act, and think and feel; and let us thank the good Providence, the good ordination of Heaven that has made the dead our teachers. I have seen one die; >he was beautiful, and beauti ful wete the ministries of i'fc that were given her to fulfil. Angelic loveliness enrobed her, and a grace, as if it were caught from Heaven, breathed in every lone, h dlowedeverv affection, shone in every action, invested as a halo her whole existence, and made it a light anti bles-iug, a < harm and a vision of gladness to all around h r—but she died! Friendship and love, and parental fondness and infant weakness stretched out lheir hands to save her; but they could not save her, and she died!—Whit! did all that loveliness die? L there no land of the blessed and the lovely ones for 'itch to live in ? Forbid it reason, religion, bereaved allection and undying love, forbid the thought! It cannot be that such die, in God’s council who live even in frail human memory forever! If you wish to give consequence to your inferiors, aitswi r their attacks. Michael Angelo, advised to resent the insolence of some obscure upstart who was ptieliing forward to notice by declaring himself his ri val, answered—“ Chi combatte con dappochi, non since a nulla:” who contests with the base, loses with all! From the New York Mirror. MR. LUMINARY.—You were so kind as to gra tify my curiosjty last week, in pointing out the form of the Jewish marriage, which pleased me exceeding ly. Let me ask whether the Jews, in the times of their kings, were not remarkably abstemious and temper ate—close and economical? THYRZA. ’■ REMARKS BY M. M. NOAH. For the Mirror. That’s quite an unfortunate question, and cannot, I think, be satisfactorily answered. Even as far back as the time of the patriarch Noah, they loved a drop of wine. During the reiun of ilu ir kings, David ami Solomon, for example, when Spain, Cicily, and vari ous countries, paid tribute to the Jews, nothing could exceed the magnificence of their festivals, or establish bounds to their hospitality. Every important occa sion, such as a marriage, a birth bay, a wedding-day, jubilee, etc. etc., was ushered in with a costly partv. Their guests were numerous, and had ointment pour- 1 ed on their heads as a p rfnme, and frankmcens burnt fortheir refreshment. The tables groaned with the weight of the feast; the ladies and gentlemen, dressed in their richest garments, diverted themselve> with pleasant and delightful stories, and sent from the table messes of dainty food for the heathen, who were not allowed to dine with them, and always to the poor. All was gaiety and mirth, and a band of music (not quite as good as Kendal’s) played during the feast. As to their temperance on these occasions, I would like to say but little, after what Isaiah has said, and he was good authority: “Wo unto them that rise up early in the morning to follow strong drink, that con tinue until night till wine inflame th am, and the harp and the viol, the tablet and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts.” The Greeks and Hebrews had an offi cer to preside at festivals, known as the Sympcsiar- i chits. Plutarch speaks of him. He gem r iliy took 1 the head of the table, was a hard drinker, without get- j ting tipsy himself—he was always pleasant and divert- ' ing, could sing the best song, and tell the best story; his duty was to keep the company in spirits; push the wine-cup about; mix water with the wine, when a guest was drunk, and make everything free and easy —a kind of Beau Brummell. We have them now. Solomon said, and he was a wise man, “wine maketh the heart glad,” and the Hebrews ventured frequently upon the experiment. Their wine, however, was poor wine, very thin; that of Cyprus was preferred. They did not know what a good glass of old Madeira or brown Sherry was. Very little change of manners and habits in two thousand years. When Pompeii was laid open, ear-rings, combs, rouge, perfume, and hair-brushes, were fiund on the ladies’ toilets, as they are at present. ALARMING STATE OF OPINION AMONG THE WORKING CLASSES OF ENGLAND.— One of the most ominous and alarming symptoms of the present time, we conctive to be the state of opi nion among our labouring population. And at no previous period, do we believe, in the hhton ofrtur country, has there existed a more inti nse feeling of hostility between them and the upper classes of so ciety, especially in the manufacturing districts. Sen timents are openly proclaimed at variance with all the established maxims of law, and order, and propirty ; and in crowded 'meetings of working men such senti ments are rapturously applauded. Open attacks up on the goods of others tire recommended ; and even armed resistance to the law is encouraged and promo ted! The labouring classes virtually proclaim to the upper classes: — “ We have created wealth for you, and made you rich ; give us, in return, as much as will keep us alive: if you do not, we will take it!” Such was, in fact, atmost the very words of one of the speakers at the Leeds meeting for the relief of die unemployed, on Thursday ; uttered, too, in the very face of the men of property there assembled to con- j cert measures to relieve them. The very existence of such feelings as these, growing tip in a state where there exists the highest degree of social civilization and refinement, and during a period of the most un exampled national prosperity, proves, of itself, that there is something rank and rotten in the base on whii h it is all founded. The creators of wealth starv ing for want of food ! The artificers ami artisans, so much vaunted as the sources oi England’s greatness, reduced to beggary ! These are the gross anomolies in our present social condition. And the labourers observe this ; they are not blind ; and in the wildness of their half-tutored minds, they rise up and ask, “ How should these things be Leeds limes. THE FREQUENCY OF FAMINES IN IN DIA.—In 1764—66, a famine raged on the coast of Coromandel. In 1770—71, a famine raged in B n gal, which swept ofl", under the administration of Lord Clive, 3,000,000 of its inhabitants. Iu 1782—3 ano ther famine raged on the Coromandel coast. In 1792-3, another fimine raged there. In 1803-4, a famine raged in Bombay ami the Deccan. In 1820-1, there was a famine in the southern part of the Dec can. In 1823-4, a famine raged in the Deccan, from Kandiesh to Mysore. In 1832-3, in Bombay and the Deccan. In 1833-4, there was a famine in the Madras territory. In 1835-6, there was a famine in Orissa and on the Coromanel coast. In 1537-8, there was a famine in the Agra Presidency; and du ring the end of last year, famine appeared in the Bom bay Presidency. The amount of mortality caused by these famines is fearfully great; in the neighborhood of Agra, 500,000 persons are said to have petidted from want. And all this in a country where millions of acres of the richest soil are lying waste and uncultivated, and where a half a dollar’s worth of rice will sustain a man’s existence for thirty days. Something must be wrong to produce such effects. j. Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or' opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole. Really, the metre of some of the modern p”ems I have read, bears about the same relation to metre properly understood, that dumb-bells do to music; both are for exercise, and pretty severe too, 1 think.

POPPING THE QUESTION.—Tire import ant mt puzzling science of “Popping the Question,” * is thus dispas-i.mately ;tnd philosophically treated up on uy An Uli Bachelor,” (in Fraser’s Magazine,)’ < who, it will be .-een, speaks as one having the author- < tty ol long and perplexing experience, as well as pos- , scsstng a profound theoretical knowletlge of the “art built on principles.” Whether this \e so or not, 1 however, those who have “ been through the mill” ’ be.'t can tel ! . Now— young bachelors and old— | phase “read, maik, learn, and inwardly digest” the ] < I'Uasels ol age. '] hose who have “come off con- I que’ orS’” jm>y read or “skip” it—just as they please. 1 hough it is impossible to say atty thing very much to the puipoxe about refusals generally, a little tact and obsei ■. ution will all tell you whether the girl who leftist d y- u would have been worth having had she accepted, lam speaking of verbal Communications only, as nobody ever writes who can speak. It is usual, iu all cases of refusal, for the lady to say that she is deeply grateful for the honor you have done her; but leelitm only friendship fur you, she regrets that she cannot accept your proposal, etc. I have heard the words so often that I know them by heart. The words, however, varied, signify little; it is the tone and manner in which they are pronounced, that must guide you in forming your estimate of. the cruel one. If they are pronounced with evident marks of sot tow, instead of triumph, showing unfeigned regret for having caused pain whirl) she could not alleviate ii her voice is soft, unbrokt n, and tremulous'’—hef eje dimmed w ith a hall formed tear, which it requires even an effort to subdue—then, I say, you may share m her sorrow, for yeti have probably lost a prize worth gaining; but tliotigh you grieve, you may also ate a man ol any pretensions, for there is evidently good feeling to build upon. Do not, there firc, fly out, and make an idiot of yourself oil receivx ing your refusal'; submit with a good grace, solicit a continuance of friendship, to support you undet th3 beart-crusbiitg affection you have su-lamed. Take her hand at parting—kiss it frequently, but quietly— no outre con !uct of any kind—just a little at the ex pense of t our own failure, without, however, attempt ing to deprive her of the honor of the victory. Rise in her estimation by the manner in which you receive your sentence, kt her sorrow be mingled with admira tion, ai.d there is no knowing how soon things will change. These in'tructions, you will perceive, are not intended for every one, as they require skill, tact, quickness, and fe. ling, in order tu be appreciated and’ acted upon. If you want these qualities, just make love, purse in band; it is a safe mode of proceeding, and will answer admirably with all ranks, from Al mack’s to the Borough.’ There is only one -class with whom it will not answer, and that is the very class worth having. If, on the other hand, the lady refuses you in a rea dy-made and well-delivered speech, which liad evi dently been prepared and kept waiting for you, then make your bow, and thank your stars for your lucky escape. If she admonishes your inconsiderate con duct, bids 3011 calm your excited feelings and suppart affliction—if site triumphs, in fact, and is cnndescend ingly polite-—then Cut a caper for joy, and come down in the attitude of John of Bologna’s flying Mercury, for you base cause to rejoice. If the lady snaps at you, as much as to say, “You are an impudent fellow” wbii h may be sometimes true, though it should not exactly be told—thru reply with a few stanzas of Miss Landon’s song: “There is in southern climes a breeze That sweeps with changeless course the seas: Fixed to one point—oh. faithful gale! Lb u ait not for my wandering sail,” If she bursts out into a loud fit of laughter, as I once knew a Ind y to do, then join her, by all means— for you may be sure that she is an illbred hoideil or a downright idiot. But if, unable to speak, gt-ief at having caused yon pain makes her burst into tears, as a little Swedi-h girl once did when such a proposal was made to her, then join her if you like, for the chances are that you have lost one worth weeping for. THE BENEFIT OF PRINTING.—In alate number of the Foreign Review, the following passage occurs. It is a beautiful paragraph : “When Tanterlape had finished building his pyra mid of seventy thousand human skulls, and was seen standing at the gate of Damascus, glittering with steel, w ith his battle-axe on his shoulder, till the fierce hosts filled w ith new victories and carnage—the pale on-lookers might have fam ied that nature was in her death throes—for havoc and despair had taken pos session ol the earth, and the sun of manhood seemed setting in seas of blood. Yet it might have been on that very gala-day of Tamerlane, a little boy was pl tying nine pins in the streets of Mentz, w hose histo ry was more imporiam to them than twenty Tamer lanes! The 7 artar Khan with his shaggy demons of the wilderness, passed away like the whirlwind to be forgotten forever—and that German artizan has wrouulit a benefit which is yet immeasurably expand ing itself through all countries and all time. What are the conquests and expeditions of the w hole corpo rations of captains from Walter the Penniless to Na poleon Bonaparte, compared with the movable tj pes of Johannes Faust!” THE SURETYSHIP OF THE HUMAN RACE.— Ihe guilt of the parents by God punished through their children. The sins of the father are often attoued for l\y the son and the son’s son. When God gave his law upon Sinai, he said “ Bring forward your securities, that ye may keep it:” They named to him their righteous fathers; but Jehovah received •not the security! “They are themselves guilty as well as you ; give me your chil-' dren and grand children as pledges.” The souls of the unborn were collected about the mountain, the sucklings upon the breast, the children upon the mother’s lap, all raised their voices and as sumed the surety. Then spake the Eternal, “I will visit the iniquity of the father upon the children, to' the third and fourth generation, but I will bless even to the thousandth generation.” Moses bowed in adoration, and when God passed before him, a voice proclaimed “ The Lord, the Lord God, gracious ami merciful, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin, and if thou punishest the sins of the father to the third and fourth generation, so dost thou nlso bless to the thousandth.
