It lias been said of the Americans, that they
manifest less attachment to the place of their
birth- and less regard for their friends of other
j. IVS , than any people in the civilized world.—
Tliis “'e apprehend, is not. their true character;
. n ov leave their friends and their homes, and cast
In selves upon the tide of uncertain, and often
.propitious adventure ; but not because the so
,j ctv of friends has become irksome, or the borne
,*■ their childhood has lost the charms of its pris
lu;lC beauty, no! no! deep, bitter, and abiding
•ire the sorrows that entwine the heart of a duti
jvj son, and the affectionate daughter, when, per-
j ]a p S for the last time they look upon the form of
* IU mother whose years admonish all, that
cre long the cold hand of death will consign her
to a resting place forever. Who tkat has ever
beheld the streaming e}'cs of a fond and loving
mother, who, with stricken heart and heaving
bosom, would clasp the hand of her departing
child, and as the last maternal office point him
t 0 a faith that leads to a happy spirit land ; who
m the whole earth that has seen this, can say that
nn American does not love a home, and a friend ?
Thank Heaven, our countrymen are industrious,
enterprising and hold, though they are generally
poor; and their footsteps are directed for fortune
und for honor. And the homes, and the friends
that they love, are henceforth remembered in their
? Elvsian dreams of pleasure, forever gone. He
who does not wander back in sweet recollec
, uon, and live again in the sunny hours of time
*one by, surrounded by whom he never can forget,
is a ‘human icicle,’ and never enjoyed the society
of a true friend, or knew the care of a father, and
the love of a mother. Should any one ask me
why home was the spot which above all others
on earth, we cherish in undying memory, I would
answer: because it is the place where we have
felt the smiles, and enjoyed the love of our
mothers. __

May is considered an unfortunate marrying
month. A country editor says that a girl was
asked, not long since, to unite herself to a man
in the silken tie, who named May in his proposals.
The lady tenderly hinted that May was an un
luck y month for marrying.
“ Well make it June, then,’ 1 said the swain,
anxious to accommodate. The damsel paused a

said, “ iVouldrCt April do as well? ”
In order to get an enemy, lend a man a small

in abusive terms. We have seen this experi
ment tried repeatedly, and never known it to
fail.
“ Bathe every day !’ ’ exclaimed the widow

A learned Irish Judge among other peculiarities
had a habit of begging pardon on every occasion.
On bis circuit a short time ago, his favorite expres
sion was employed in a singular manner. At the
close of the assizes, as he was about to leave the
bench, the officer of the court reminded him that
he had not passed sentence of death on one of
the criminals as he had intended. “ Dear me,”
said his lordship— l really beg his pardon —bring
him in ! ”
At church where was a call for a minister, two
candidatos appeared whose names were Adam

an elegant discourse from the text, “ Adam where

In the afternoon Adam, preached from these
words, “ Lo, here am I.”

For the Cure of
COUGHS; COLDS,
HOARSENESS, BRONCHITIS,
WHOOPING-COUGH, CROUP,
ASTHMA and CONSUMPTION
The uniform success which has attended the use of this pre
paration—its salutary effect —its power to relieve and cure affec
tions of the Lungs, have gained for it a celebrity equalled by no
other medicine. We offer it to the nflLcted with entire confi
dence in its virtues, and the full belief that it will subdue and
remove the severest attacks of disease upon the throat and
Lungs. These results, as they become publicly known, very
naturally attract the attention of medical men and philanthro
pists everywhere. What is their opinion of CHERRY PEC
TORAL may be seen in the following:—•
VALENTINE MOTT, M. D ,
Prof. Surgery Med. College , New York , says :
11 It gives me pleasure to certify the value and efficacy of
Ayer’s CHERRY PECTORAL, which 1 consider peculiarly
adapted to cure diseases of the Throat and Lungs.”
THE RT. REV. BISHOP FIELD
writes in a letter to his friend, who was fast sinking under an
affection of the Lungs:—“Try the CHERRY PECTORAL,
and if any medicine can o-ive you relief, with the blessing ot
God that will.”
CHIEF JUSTICE EUSTIS,
of Louisiana, writes “ That a young daughter of his was cured
of several severe attacks of Croup by the ‘ CHERRY PECTO
RAL.”
ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS.
The Canadian Journal of Medical Science
slates, “ That Asthma and Bronchitis so prevalent in this in
clement climate, has yielded with surprising rapidity to Ayer s
CHERRY PECTORAL, and vve cannot too strongly recom
mend this skilful preparation to the Prolession and Public gen
erally.”
READ THE EVIDENCE.
Albany, N. Y., April 17,1843.
Dr. Ayer, Lowell—Dear Sir:—l have for years been afflicted
with Asthma in the worst form ; so that I have been obliged to
sleep in my chair for a larger part of the time, being unable to
breathe on my bed. 1 had tried a great many medicines to no
purpose, until my Physician proscribed, as an experiment, your
CHERRY PECTORAL.
At first it seemed to make me worse, but in less Ilian a week
I began to experience the most gratifying relief from its use;
and now, in four weeks the disease is entirely removed. J can
sleep on my bed with comfort, and enjoy a slate ol health
which I had never expected to enjoy.
