New York, August 15th, 18G8 Allow me to call your attention to my Preparation Compound of Extract Buchu, The component parts arc BUCHU LONG LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNIPER BERRIES. Mode of Preparation.—Buchu, in vacuo. Juniper Be- ries, by distillation, to form a fine gin. Cubebs extracted by displacement with spirits spirits obtained from Junip r Perries: very tittle sugar Is use i,and a small proportion of spirit. It is more palateable than any now in use. Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a light color. It Is a plant that emits its fragrance ; the action of a fl-nne destroys this (itj active principle,) leaving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of ingredients. The Bu<*hu in my preparation predoml n<-tes; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients are added, to prevent fermentation ; upon inspec tion, It will he found not to be a Tincture, as made in Pharmacopeia, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore cm he used in cases where fever or intlanunatiou ex ist.

If I can get it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. lan aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of n great majority of the ‘teg ular line of M.

For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering hum-rity which I may be able to otmnand— not hesitating because someone more ingenious than myself may have Jearn d its effects first, and secured the sole right tc secure hat knowledge.

Mili.ee, of Hraureotit, T*xas, on a package of oki letters which she had carefully filed away as kcepsak® B - She ia a sisier of our esteemed fellow -citizen, S H Paitillo, anil is an invalid—not haring been able to walk a s-tep alone in years. For th« Carters vi lie Fxprcss. Here’s a package of old letters—corae help me to unfold, lied together months ego, and priced as so much gold; The find, ah ! let me read it: ’Tis from the trembling hand Os my dear sainted Brother, now in the bet ter land; Yes! ’(is that precious letter, which he told me was “the last That lie would ever write again, his strength was failing fast,” He said “his faith in God was strong, suffi cient grace was given;’’ And said “dear sister, do not fail to meet me up iu Heaven.” I’ve dried the tears by memory stirred, now let me read another: This one, with scarce a dozen lines, is from my husband’s mother: But if she’d written pages, as many as those lines, They’d not produce more happy thoughts than those upon our minds; For each one spoke the tenderness, of a fond mother’s heart, And while I read them over, again the tear drops start, Sweet memories of that mother, arc mingled with a dread That when we hear of her again, we ll hear that “she is dead.” Here are several from dear sisters, in the contents of some Are many pleasing incidents, relating things “at home;” These have called up recollections of those happy years Spent at the dear old homestead, ere we wept the bitter tears, Wept as we stood together ’round a dying mother’s bed, And felt our first great sorrow, when we knew that she was dead; Ere time had soothed the sorrow, her loss to Us had given, Our Father left the homestead, to live with her in Heaven. Here's a letter that wag written, over twen ty years ago— And that it has been often read, its worn out folds will show'. But still I prize it highly, and again will read it over; It brings to mind my boyhood days, and this devoted lover Who wrote so much affection in this long cherished letter; And though so many years since then, I love him now far better— For with the various changes of my eventful life, There’s been no change in his fond love, since 1 became his wife. Here’s three dear, precious letters, from the pen of Dr. Means, That have brought back to my memory, the many happy scenes Os years ago, even w hen so young I scarce could understand, I loved to listen to his words of eloquence— so grand; And years since then, his gentle voice has fallen on my ear Intones of so much sweetness, that oft’ it would appear Almost, as though an angel knelt beside my couch of pain, To ask the Heavsnly Father to restore my. health again. He was the best and dearest friend, my fath er had on earth, And I prize his lasting friendship of inesti mable worth; Great, good, and honored is his name, a name that long will be Remembered, when his ransomed soul is in eternity; r>ear Dr. Means ! how sad the thought that he is growing old, His voice will soon be hushed in death, no more will we behold His beaming face, lit up by joy, proclaiming Jesus’ love, Cut, happy thought, our loss will be his gain yf heaven above. This little childish letter, begging “mother please to come And take her darling little girl, once more, to home—sweet home,” She said “sbs loved her teacher, her books, and school-mates, too, Cut, Mother, I can never stay from dear papa and you; I try to be good, Mother, and your commands obey, ~ But please, dear Mother, take me home and there do let me stay ” That little girl’s a woman now, affectionate and mild, And lores to stay with me at home, as well us when a child. Let me see! Here are some letters all of more recent date Thau those just res 1, —and each and all some sad ning news relate, For they were writteu, ’midst scenes of war and all it;; si rife, And tell of toils and sufferings, of the brave soldiers life. This one is from my Brother, I'll read it o’er again; He says “1 am sick from long exposure, to cold and chilling rain, Half starved, and nearly bare of clothes, but I am willing still To serve my country, trusting God. whatever be His will. tnuvr -•* :■ L:t‘f 1-: : , lUty?/ i | *!, , Here’s a letter from the Captain of this broth er— bearing date One month later than his own—and telling me his fate; It sura “’Twas in a night attack, about two weeks ago, My dear friend, your noble Brother was cap tured by the foe, And he ought not, in his feeble health, been out at night at all, •••-v.

There is a beautiful maple tree near tny window, which sometimes seems endowed with human intelligence. I 3*o. 26. love to watch its graceful motions, as it often furnishes me food for sweet meditation. It sympathises with utL tlire’s every mood. It smiles with. the sunshine: it weeps with the stoiim, andi whispers with the breeze. Its every, bough is a vernal harp whose every chord pulses with weird, sweet music beneath the invisible fingers of tho wind. It taught me a beautiful lesson the other day, which we would do well to learn. A fierce blast swept by, but passed over it, leaving it unscathed, while the boughs of stronger trees were twisted and broken. It bowed its ver dant crown, and lithe, graceful limbs before the spirit of the storm, and be . cau*e u bent, it urn not broken. When the storm was over, its head was still bowed so low that I thought, after all, my little tree must have been badly in jured; but as soon as the air grew clear* and the sun shone warm and bright, it lifted up its head again, and then I saw that it was not only uninjured, but that it was more beautiful than before- It had taken a deep draft of the elixir of life, and with its fresh, green robes, bedecked, like those of an Eastern prince, with a thousand flashing gems of puxent water* it stood up and rejoiced in the sunlight. It seemed a “crea ture bright and good,” standing there to minister to my comfort aud happi ness: and this is the lesson it taughjt me -words that carried a strengthful peace to my chastened heart: “Child of sorrow, bow thus before the adverse winds of life— bend low ami thou nhalt not be broken. Thy God doth not wit tingly afflict. He hath no pleasure in, the death of even his enemies, but as a father cliasteneth bis son, so doth he chasten tiiee. Like his people of old* he hath led them through the wilder ness, aud fed thee with manna, that he might humble thee, and prove thee, to do thee good in the latter end. “Humble thyself, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may ex alt thee iu due time.” Bend low, when the tempest is overpast, like me, lift up thy head and rejoice in the sun shine of God’s approving smile. Tru ly, I thought, when listening to these silent teachings, truly, “Nature never did betray The heart that loved her; ’tis her privilege, Through all the years of this our life, to lead From joy to joy; for she can so inform The mind that is within us, so impress With quietness and beauty, and so feed With lofty thought, that neither evjl tongues, Hash judgements, nor the sneers of selflsh men Shall e’er prevail against ns, or disturb Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold Is full of blessings.” [tynthodint Minot Uany. Every period of life has its/peculiar prejudices. Whoever saw old age that did not applaud the past, and con demn the usages and customs of the present time. When dunces call us fools, without proving us to be so, our best retort is to prove them to be fools, without con detcending to call them so.
