Mortou’s Pulmonic Expectorant Cough
•Syrup,
For Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, Consumptions and Whoop
ing Coughs.
AMONG the numerous complaints with which the
human family are aflicted, none are more common
than coughs’ colds, Ac. and none more fatal in their re
sults, unless timely care is taken to stop their progress
before they become too firmly seated upon the lungs.—
Notwithstanding the many remedies that have been of
fered to the pulmc, not any have lieretofore proved sue
cccssful in procuring a certain and speedy relief.
The proprieter having been an eye witness (for sever
al years) of the astonishing virtues of this extraordinary
Medicine, at length deems it his duty to offer it to the
public, in a way that it may receiye a more extensive
circulation : ami at a pnee that the |>oor may receive the
benefit of it as well as the rich.
This syrup is particularly efficatious in removing
coughs arising colds, attended with hoarseness and sore
ness abont the windpipe; likewise shortness of breath
ing, tightness acros the breaht, accompanied with a
ticliling cough: and in all consumptive cases its use is
uarticularly recommended, likewise whooping cough is
{ready relieved by its use—children laboring under tins
Jistrcssing disease, in innumerable instances have been
astonishingly benefitted in a few days: the pleasantness
of it is a great advantage, as children will take it with
! as much pleasure as they will preserves.
N. B.—The directions accompanying each bottle will
be signed by IF m. L. Perkins, the sole proprietor.—
Each botde is scaled with the impression of mokton’s
pulmonic expectorant cough syrup, plainly stamped
| an it.
I For certificates, see the directions.

PATENT MACHINE SPREAD
STRENGTHENING PLASTER.
IN the preparation of these very Su]itrior and Ele
gant Plasters, no cost or trouble is spared to ensure
possible degree of perfection, in point of utility, elegance
and comfort. They are spread of various sizes on kids
j of the be«t quality, by Machinery, invented expressly for
he purpose, (which gives them an advantage over every
: olaster heretofore offered to the public) as by this means
| tl. v can be made of a uniform thickness, and free
| fro the inequality of surface which frequently prevents
otht. 9 from adhering, or renders them irritating and
! uncomfortable, an objection, which it is impossible to
avoid by the usual method of spreading Plasters
Th r composition used in these Plasters, is carefully
prepared at a lower temperature, from a combination o
valuable Resinous Gums, with the ad-mixture of sever
al choice aromatics, entirely separated from all extra
neous and irritating particles; and from its peculiar
combina'ion of highly strengthening, anodyne and
slightly stimulating properties it a thirds a pleasant and
effectual remedy, in all cases of pain in the side and
breast, weakness or oppression of the chest; pain or weak
ness of the back or loins ; Also, in the sense of sinking
and faitness at the pit of the stomach, accompanying
Dysjtepsia and Liver Complaint. In Khematic, or pain
ful affections of the limbs or joints, their Anodyne and
Stimulating properties render them particularly benefi
cial. In Odds, Coughs, or Asthmatic Afieetions, they
will be found to give immediate and permanent relief.
Persons who from sedentary habits, or other causes, an
predisposed to affections of the lungs, will find these
i”-«tc rs ail effectual security against those pulmonary
attacks which prove but two frequently, (when neglee'-
ed) the precursory symptoms of Consumption ; and in
deed in a climate like ours, where colds snd coughs ate
an almost unfailing consequence of the sudden changes
to wnich all are subject, every one at all liable to suffer
from the influence of these causes would find the great
est possible security in having his chest and lungs pro
tected bv one of these invaluable Plasters.
To children suffering from I Vhooping Cough, or
Colds affecting the chest or lungs, the scilative and ano
dyne properties of these Plasters, afford signal relief.
These Plasters being spread much more rapidly, as
well as better, by Mathinery, are sold much lower than
Plasters spread in the usual method.

PROSPECTUS.
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SILK SO-
J CIETY, AND RURAL ECONOMIST.—At a
Convention which met at Baltimore, on the lltli of De
cember last, composed of a great number of gentlemen
from various parts of the Union, distinguished for their
public services, patriotism, and practical intelligence,
the following resolutions were unanimously adopted,
after full discussion, in the course of which a great mass
of facts and valuable information was elicited.
Resolved, That it is the deliberate opinion of this
Convention that Silk may be grown in all the United
States, not only for domestic purposes, but ns a valua
ble article of commercial export; thereby giving an ac- j
tive employment to American labor, and retaining mil- j
lions of dollars in our country, tiiat are annually sent
out of it for the purchase of silken goods.
Resolved, That a National Silk Journal ought to be
established, under the auspices of the Executive Com
mittee, and all the funds over and above the support of
said paper ought to lie devoted to the advancement of
the silk cause in the United States.
Under the latter resolution, the subscriber has been
solicited to assume the editorial superintendence of the
Journal, to be published by the Society ; and now, with
not the least abatement for that fondness (not to say
passion) lor rural life, and all its pursuits, which prompt
ed him, eighteen years since, to issue the first number
of the old American Farmer, lie is but too happy tosa
lutc, once more, his old friends and correspondents,
promising to deserve new ones by the most assiduous
endeavors, (not incompatible with strict attention to his
official duties,) to accelerate the growth and progress of
what he is convinced is destined to become a great
branch of national industry-, bringing into active exer
cise much of (he now unproductive laboring power of
the country-, giving comfort to the widow and the or
phan, by offering them suitable and remunerating em
ployment; and making, in the aggregate, a large addi
tion to the wealth and prosperity of our beloved Union.
Though Silk and every thing connected with its pro
duction, and all improvements in machinery for its pre
paration and manufacture, will constitute the chief de
sign and aim of the Journal, for the sake of agreeable
and useful variety, a considerable portion of its pages
will be dedicated to the justly popular and kindred sub- j
jects of agriculture, horticulture, and rural and domes-1
tic economy. Hence the adjunctive title “ Rural Eco
nomist.” J. S. SKINNER.
The Journal of the American Silk Society will be
published monthly, in pamphlet form, each number will
contain thirty-two pages, printed on new type and hand
some paper, with a printed colored cover
Ml persons friendly to the objects of the Journal,
will please collect at once, and transmit, the names and
subscription money of those who may feel disposed to
patronize it.
Terms.—Two dollars a year, or six copies for ten
dollars, always to be paid before the work is sent. All
subscriptions to begin with the first number of the year,
and in no esse will the work be sent to any subscriber
longer than it dull have been paid for.
All communications to be addressed, post paid, to
Gideon B. Smith, Corresponding Secretary of the So
ciety.
All editors of papers who mas desire to sec Silk ad
ded to the list of American Staples; and who will have
the kindness to give this prospectus a few- insertions,
will be entitled to a ropy of the Journal.

4 GAZETTE OF LITERATURE, DRAMAT
IV 1C NEWS and CRITICISM, FASHION and
NOVELTY.—N. P. Willis and T. O. Porter propose
to issue, weekly, in the city of New York, a paper of
the above designation and character. It is their design
to present as amusing a periodical as can he made from [
the current wit, humor, and literature of the times, to
collect the spirit not only ol English, hut of French and
German belles letters : "to give dramatic criticisms with
vigilant impartiality and care: in short, to picture the
age in its literature and liishion, its eccentricities and
amusements.
As the practical law of copv right secures to them,
free of expense, the labors of Bulwer and Boz, Scribe
and Balzac, with the whole arm of foreign writers, they
cannot at present, (consistently with pocket wisdom so
well understood bv American publishers) offer any thing I
for American productions. Their critical department, [
however, will be always on the alert for native litera-;
ture, and to the best of their ability they will keep a
running gunge of the merite to compatriot authors.
Tlur see their way verv clearly without crowding
upon tlie track of any weekly periodical, and abstain
ing from more particular professions, they take leave to
assure their friends, that if the hartest of event, wit.
genius and poetry, fail not over the world, they can
hardly fail to furnish them with an agreeable paper.
Term*.—Five dollars per annum, in cdvance. Ad

POETRY.
SPRING.
In ode.
Stem Winter now, by Spring repress’d,
Forbears the long-continued strife ;
And nature on her naked breast,
Delights to catch the gales of life.
Now o’er the rural kingdom roves
Soft pleasure with the laughing train,
Love warbles in the vocal groves,
And vegetation plants the plain,
Unhappy ! whom to beds of pain,
Arthritic* tyranny consigns;
Whom smiling nature courts in vain.
Though rapture sings and beauty shines.
Yet though my limbs disease invades,
Her wings imagination tries.
And bears me to the peaceful shades,
Where ——’s humble turrets rise.
Here stop, my soul, thy rapid flight,
Nor from the pleasing groves depart,
Where first great nature charm'd my sight,
Where wisdom first inform’d my heart.
Here let me through the vales pursue
A guide—a father—and a friend,
Once more great Nature’s works renew,
Once more on Wisdom’s voice attend,
From false caresses, causeless strife,
Wild hope, vain fear, alike removed ;
Here let me learn the use of life.
When best enjoy'd—when most improved.
Teach me, thou venerable power,
Cool meditation’s quiet seat,
The generous scorn of venal power,
The silent grandeur of retreat.
When pride by guilt to greatness climbs,
Ot raging factions rush to war,
Here let me learn to shun the crimes
I can’t prevent, and will not share.
But lest I fall by subtler foes,
Bright Wisdom, teach me Curio's art,
The swelling passions to compose,
And quell the rebels of the heart.

THE OLD CLOCK.
“ HERE SHE GOES, THERE SHE GOES !”
Some years ago there came to this country
a family from England, which settled on the
upper part of this island, and opened a public
house. Among their chattels was nn old family
clock which they prized more for its age than
ils actual value, although it had told the hours
for years on years with the utmost commenda
ble fidelity. This clock is now situated in one
the private parlors of the house, and many a
time has it been the theme of remark in con
sequence, of its solemnly antique exterior.
A few days since about dusk, a couple of
mad wags drove up to the door of the hotel,
seated in a light and beautiful wagon, drawn
by a superb bay horse. They sprang out—
ordered the ostler to pay every attention to the
animal and to stable him for she night. En
tering the hotel they tossed ofF a glass of wine
a pice, bemouthed a cigai, and directed the
landlord to provide the best game supper in
| his power. There was a winsome look in the
countenance of the elder —a bright sparkling
I in his eyes which occasionally he half closed
jin a style that gave him an airof “a knowing
.one,” and a slight curving of the corners of the
j mouth that showed his ability to enjoy, while
j his whole demeanor made every acute obser
ver sure of his ability to perpetrate a joke.
I Now and then when his lips parted and he
Iran his fingers through his hair with a languid
j expression, it was evident he was eager to be
at work in his vocation that of a practical
joker! The other was a dapper young man,
i although different in appearance yet with sea-
tures that indicated that his mind was well
fitted to be a successful copartner with his
[mate, and a dry pun or gravely delivered
witticism was frequently worked ofT with nu
[air of philosophy or unconcern that gave him
at once the credit of being a first rate wit.
■ Supper on the table, these two Yankees were
not dull as a couple generally will bent table,
but made mirth and laughter, and wit their
[ companions, and as wine in his parti-colored
[ flowing robes presided, there was a “ set out”
fit for a prince and his associates. The Yan
kees ate and drank and were right merry,
when the old family clock whirred and whizzed
as the hammer on the bell struck one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
eleven, twelve! The elder looked up at the
old monitor before him, struck his elbow oti
the table and looked again steadily for a
minute, and then laughed out heartily, awaken
ing the waiter, who was just dozing by the
window sill.
“ What in the name of Momus are you
laughing at ?” asked the dapper Yankee, as he
.cast his eyes now over tlie table, now over and
around himself to ascertain where the nest of
the joke was concealed. Tlie elder winked
slyly, and yawing lazily raised the forefinger
of ins right hand and applied it gracefully to
his nose. The dapper man understood the
hint.
44 Oho ! I understand—no you don’t come
over this child ! waiter another bottle of cham
paign.” The servant left the room and our
heroes inclining themselves over tho table
hoid a long conversation in a low tone, when
the elder of tl*e two raised his voice, and with
tn eir of aaiislfccttan exclaimed,
44 Oiack. elwayj go it!”
Th jo beth cautiously rase from their chairs
n.-J adwm~t:ig to the clock, turned the key to
tho doov, and looked within, the elder in a half
inquiring, half decided manner, saying,
“ Won’t it I”
The waiter waa on the stairs, and tliey re
- nrned to their scats in a trice as if nothing had
f happened—both scolding the waiter as he en
tered, for being so lazy on h a errand.
Having heard the clock strike one, tliey
were shown to the beds, where they talked in
a subdued tune anti finally sunk to sleep. In
the morning, they were early up, and ordeted
their horses to be harnessed and brought to
the deor. Descending to the bar-room they
asked for t!ie bill, and with becoming prompti
tude paid the amount due over to the keeper.
The elder perceiving the landlord through the
window, placed his arm upon the bar, and in
I a serious tone inquiring of the bar-keeper
if he would disposed of tin; old clock. T.ie
young man hesitated—he knew not. what to
answer. The old clock seetnet Ito him s tub
a mscrabla piece of furniture that he had at
impression that it might as well be his as his
[employers, yet lie could not comprehend why
such a person should want such a hideous
[article. While he was attempting to reply,
[tlie good natured landlord entered, ana t:.c
;question was referred to him for an answer.
“ I wish to purchase that old clock up stairs!
Will you sell it?” asked the elder Yankee,
while the younger lighted a cigar, and cast his
eyes over the Sunday Morning News, which
lay upon the table. The landlord, who had
set no great value upon the clock, except os
an hair loom, began to suspect that it might
possess the virtues of Martin Hey wood’s chair,
and be filled with dollars ; and, almost in
voluntary, the three ascended to the room
which contained it.
“ The fact is,” said the Yankee, “ I won a
hundred dollars with a clock like that!
“ A hundred dollars !” ejaculated the land
lord.
NO. 22.
“ Yes! you see there was one like it in a
a room over in Jersey, and a fellow bet mo
lie could keep his forefinger swinging with the
pendulum for an I our, only saying, “ here she
goes, there she goes.” lie could’nt do it. I
walked the money out of him in no time.”
“You did? You could’nt walk it out of
! me. I’il bet you filly dollars I can do it on
the spot!”
j “ Done ;” cried the Yankee.
The clock struck eight, and with his back
to the table and the door, the landlord popped
i into a chair—
“ Here she goes, there she goes !” and his
[finger waves in a curve, his eyes fully fixed
on the pendulum. The Yankee behind him
interrupted—“ where’s the money ? plank the
money.”
The landlord was not to lose in that wav.
His forefinger slowly nnd slowly went with
the pendulum, and his left disengaged his
purse from his pocket, which he throw behind
him on the table. All was silent. The dapper
man at length exclaimed—
“ Shall I deposit the money in the hands of
the bar-keeper?”
“ Here she goes, there she goes !” was the
only answer.
One of the Yankees left the loom. Tho
landlord heard him go down stairs, but fie «u»
not to he disturbed by that trick.
Presently the bar-keeper entered and touch
ing him unoa the shoulder, and aske-l.
“ Mr. 15 , arc you crazy ? What aro
you doing ?”
“ Here she goes, there she goes !” he re
sponded, his hand waving the forefinger as
before.
The bar keeper rushed down stairs; he
called one of the neighbrs and asked him to go
up. They ascended and the neighbor scizt-d
j him gently by the co lar, in an imploring voice
said—
“.Mr. B do not sit hc-e. Come,
! come down stairs ; what can possess you to
! sit here ?
“ Her - she goes, there she goes !” was the
!sole reply, and the solemn face and the slow
ly moving finger settled the matter. He urns
[ mad.
“ He is mad” whispered the friend, in alow
■ voice. “We must go for a doctor.”
The landlord was not to be duped, he was
[not to be deceived, although the whole town
'came to interrupt him. “ You had better call
up his wife,” added the friend.
“ Here she goes, there she goes !” repeated
the landlord, and his hand still moved on.
In a minute his wife entered, full of agony
of soul—“ My dear,” she kindly said “ look
on me. It is your wife who speaks !”
“ Here she goes, there she goes !” and his
hand continued to go, but his wife would’nt
go sho would stay, and he thought that she
was determined to conspire against him and
make him lose the wager. She wept, and she
continued—
“ What cause have you for this ? Why do
you do so ? Has your wife”
“ Here she goes, there she goes!” and hut
finger seemed to beret acing her airy progress
j for any thing she could ascertain to the con
trary.
“My dear,” she still continued, thinking
that tlie thought of his child, who he fondlv
loved, would tend to restore him, “ shall I call
up your daughter?”
“ Here she goes, there she goes,” the land
lord again repented, Ins eyes becoming more
and more fixed and glazed, from the steadi
ness of the gaze. A slight smile, which had
great effect upon the minds of those present,
played upon his face, as he thought of tba.mn
ny unsuccessful resorts to win him from his
purpose, and of his success in baffling them.
The physician entered. He stood by the side
of the busy man. He looked at him in silence,
shook his head, and to the anxious inquiry of
the wife, answered,
44 No, madam ! The fewer persons here the
better. The maid had better stay away ; do
not let the maid”
“ Here she goes, there she goes !” yet a-,
gain, in harmony with the waving finger,issued
from the lips of the landlord.
“ A consultation, I think, will be necessary,”
said the physician. “ Will you run for Dr.
W ms.”
The kind neighbor buttoned up his coat and
hurried from the room.
In a few minutes Dr. W -ms, withano.
ther medical gentlemen, entered.
“ This is a sorry sight,” said the doctor pre
sent.
“ Indeed it is sir,” was the reply. “Itis a
sudden attack, one of the”
“ Hera she goes, there she goes !” was tho
sole reply.
Tlie physician™ stepped into a corner and
consulted logetiier.
