proceoding from viliati.*L>; Affections of the Liver;
Chronic inflammation of ihe Kidneys and General De
bility, caused by a torpid action of the vessels of the
skm. It is singularly efficacious in renovating those
constitutions which have been broken down by injudi
cious treatment, or juvenile irregularities. In general
terms, it is recommended in all those diseases which
arise from impurities of the blood, or vitiation of the
humors, of whatever name or kind.
Some of the above complaints may require some
assistant applications, which the c rcuinstances of the
case will dictate; hut for a general remedy or Purifi
cator to remove the cause, The Indian’s Panacea will
generally be found sufficient.
The following certificates, out of hundreds similar
which might be procured are given to show the effect
>f the Indian’s Panacea, in the various complaints
therein mentioned ; and also to exhibit in the most sa
tisfactory manner its superiority over the syrups in
common use.
Charleston, Nov. 15, 1831.
During the last winter and spring. I was afflicted
with a very severe and distressing Rheumatism, occa
sioned by exposure in bad weather. I now take great
pleasure in stating, that six bottles of Indian Pana
cea, restored me to perfect health, and I confidently
recommend it to all similarly afflicted.
JOHN FERGUSON, King st.
Charleston, July 12. 1831.
I was afflicted four years with an nicer in the leg,
occasionally accompanied with erysipelatious inflama
*ion and an excessive pain in the leg and ancle j -int.
Several eminent Physicians exerted their skill upon it.
but without permanent benefit. In this case, five bot
tles of the Indian Panacea made a perfect cure.

of this place, that he will take charge of PIA NO
FORTES by the year. It is weil known that, fre

six times a year, (once very two months.) His terms
will be $lO per annum, five payable at the first and
five at the fourth tuning. Application to be made at

TO MY MOTHER.
WRITTEN DURING ILLNESS.
Mother, my heart is sad,
Pain hath oppressed me many a weary day;
And thou, the nurse my childhood’s sorrow had,
Art far away.
The short, calm summer night
To others brings refreshing, quiet rest;
I, cheerless, wait the lingering hour of light,
Alone unblest.
The day drags on with pain,
I tire of light long ere the sun is gone ;
I try my boons—my pen—my bed, in vain,
And suffer on.
Yet hope is with the still
That Health again my joyful guest may be,
Ere thou, so distant, learn that I am ill,,
Or sigh for me. B.
‘ There 15 something in these stanzas, tc us inex
pressibly pathetic and mournful; they are indeed
4 beautiful exceedingly,’and such as any of our own
poets might well be proud of.’ —Edinburg Review.
LINES ON PASSING THE GRAVE OF MY
SISTER. BY FLINT.
On yot'der shore, on yonder shore,
Now verdant with the depth of shade,
Beneath the white-arrued sycamore,
There is a little infant laid.
Forgive this tear —\ brother weeps—
’Tis there the faded ffowret sleeps.
She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone,
And summer’s forests o’er her wave ;
And sighing winds at autumn moan
Around the little stranger’s grave,
As though they murmured at the fate
Os one so lone and desolate.
In sounds that seem like Sorrow’s own
Their funeral dirges faintly creep;
Then deep’ning to an organ tone,
In all their solemn cadence sweep,
And pour, unheard,along the wild,
Their desert anthem o’er a child.
She came, and passed. Can I forget,
How we whose hearts had hailed her birth,
Ere three autumnal suns had set,
Consigned her to her 1110 h r Earth!
Joys and their memories pass away;
But griefs are deeper ploughed than they.
We laid her in her narrow cell,
We heaved the soft, mould on her breast,
And parting tears, like rain drops, fell
Upon her lonely place ol rest.
May angels guard it—may they bless
Her slumbers in the wil ierness.
She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone;
For. all unheard, on yonder shore,
The sweeping flood, with torrent moan,
At evening lifts its solemn roar,
As, in one broad, eternal tide.
The rolling waters onward glide.
There is no marble monument,
There is no stone with graven lie,
To tell of love and virtue blent
In one almost too good to die.
We need no such useless trace
To point us to her resting place.
She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone;
But midst the tears and April showers,
The Genius of the Wild hath strown
His germs of fruit, his fairest flowers.
And cast his robe of vernal bloom,
In guardian fondness o’er the toinb.
She sleeps alone, she sleeps alone;
But yearly is her grave turf-dressed,
And still the summer vines are thrown,
In annual wreaths across her breast,
And still the sighing autumn grieves,
And strews the hallowed spot oith leaves.
RELIGION IN WOMEN.
How often have young men propounded
to themselves and others the question, what
is the first quality to be sought for in the
choice of a wife, and how diverse have been
the answers to this important interrogatory.
The gay and thoughtless will point you to
beauty, wealth, accomplishments ; others,
who look beyond the tinsel of the exterior,
regard amiability and feeling as the bright
est jewels in the female character; others
still, who have searched deeper into the
springs of human action, and know well the
fountains from vviience flow the purest and
most enduring happiness, wili give the only
true answer to the inquiry, viz: a strong
Christian faith, sentiments and practice.
Religion is every where lovely, but in wo
men particularly so. Il makes her but a lit
tle lower lhan the angels. It purifies her
heart, elevates her feelings and sentiments,
hallows her affections, sheds light on her un
derstanding, and imparts dignity to her whole
character. Nor does its influence end here.
1 It beams in the glance of the eye,
It sits on the lips in a smile,
It checks the ungracious reply,
It enraptures, but cannot beguile.’
Woman, from her very nature, is destined
to drink deeper from the cup of sorrow and
suffering than the other sex. Her trials are
chiefly of the heart, and consequently the
hardest to be borne. She is seldom, perhaps,
called upon to contend with those formidable
evils and temptations which arouse all the
energies of our nature 10 repel their attack,
but is beset (from the time she merges into
womanhood) bv a thousand petty trials, and
annoyances, which, while they seem too in
significant to require much effort lo resist,
are at the same time most difficult to over
come. Religion alone can disarm Ihese trials
and enable tier to preserve that equanimity
and peace of mind so essential to happiness.
It is her talisman. To it she flies in the hour
of her disappointment, and from it never fails
to derive consolation and support. Yet how
few, in their selection for life, regatd this
most important qualification. How few think
to penetrate info the secret chambers of the
soul, to see what is there hidden within so
fair an exterior—if there the vestal lamp
sheds its clear and constant ray. External
attractions may lead us captive fora time;
feeling tnay send a thrill of exquisite joy
through tie heart of the recipient; talent
may call forth unbounded admirations; but
if religion make no part of the character, the
key stone to the arch is wanting, and the
fabric will ere long crumble and fall.
It should be remembered that life is not a
sunshine. Bright as the world may be be
fore us, we cannot live long without encoun
tering many sorrows, and disappointments
and troubles. They are sent by a kind Pro
vidence to sever the chords which bind us
too closely to earth, to turn our thoughts in
wards upon ourselves, and upwards to
heaven. While our bark glides calmly on a
summer’s sea, with the blue sky above and
bright waters around us, the blandishments
of youth, beauty and accomplishments may
satisfy the heart; hut let us be overthrown
by the storm and the tempest, and where is
the support they yield ? Let darkness enter
your dwelling, and the pleasure you derive
from them is forgotten, and you look in vain
to the same source for relief. Let death in
vade your social circle, and ‘ay its ruthless
hand on your first born,shrouding all around
you in darkness and gloom; and where do
you look for a rav of hope? It is under cir
cumstances like these that religion transforms
a wife into a ministering angel. She will
hind up your bleeding heart, lead you to the
fountain of living waters, and change gloom
and despondency into light and cheerfulness.
As the sun in setting lights up every hill top
and tree and cottage, so religion gilds with
its heavenly beams every feeling, enjoyment
and occupation.
Most persons, on entering the married
state, (particularly in youth,) fancy it a con
dition of unmingied joy and pleasure —that
they are within a charmed circle, the bounds
of which no sorrow or trouble can pass. I hey
forget the new and intense responsibilities
that are incurred, and the trials which must
necessarily accompany them. Not that these
should deter any one from taking this most
important step; for it is the high road to im
provement and happiness. What are the
boasted pleasures of intellect compared with
those of affection ? The latter are as truly
heaven-burn and immortal as the former ;
t.;ev are the earliest developed in our nature,
and the last touched by the finger of decay.
Woman! thy empire is the heart, and he
who would know the capacity of the human
soul for happiness must yield himself to thy
sway.

TIIE BATTLE OF GROKOW.
The battle of Grokovv, the greatest in Eu
rope since that of Waterloo, was fought on
the 25th of February, IS3I, and the place
where I stood commanded a view of the whole
ground. The Russian army was under the
command of Diebitsch, and consisted of one
hundred and forty two thousand infantry,
forty thousand cavalry, and three hundred
and twelve pieces of cannon. This enor
mous force was arranged in two lines of com
batants, and a third of reserve. Its left wing
between Warsaw and the marshes of the
Vistula, consisted of four divisions of infantry
of forty seven thousand men, three of caval
ry of ten thousand five hundred, and one
hundred and eight pieces of cannon; the
right consisted of three and a half divisions
of infantry of thirty one thousand men, four
divisions of cavalry of fifteen thousand seven
hundred and fifty men and fifty two pieces of
cannon. Upon ihe borders of the great for
est opposite ihe Forest of Elders, conspicu
ous from where I stood was placed the re
serve, commanded bv the Grand Duke Con
stantine. Against this immense army the
Poles opposed less than fifty thousand men,
and a hundred pieces of cannon, under the
command of Gen. Skrizynecki.
At break of day the whole force of the
Russian right wing, with a terrible fire of fif
ty pieces ofartillery, and columns of infantry,
charged the Polish left with the determination
of carrying it by a single and overpowering
effort. The Poles with six thousand five
hundred men, and twelve pieces of artillery,
not yielding a foot of ground, and knowing
they could hope for no succor, resisted this
attack for several hours until the Russians
slackened their fire. About ten o’clock the
plain was suddenly covered with ‘he Russian
forces, issuing from the cover of the forest,
seeming one undivided mass of troops. Two
hundred pieces oi cannon posted on a single
line, commenced a fire which made the earth
tremble, and was more terrible than the old
est officers, many of whom had fought at Ma
rengo and Austerktz, had ever beheld. The
Russians now made an attack upon the right
wing, hut failed in this as upon the left; Di
'ebitsch directed the strength of his army
against the Forest of Elders, hoping to di
vide the Poles into two parts. One hundred
and twenty pieces of cannon were brought to
bear on this one point, and fifty battalions in
cessantly pushed to the attack kept up a
scene of massacre unheard of in the annals
of war. A Polish officer who was in tfie
battle, told me that the small streams which
intersected the forest were so choked with
dead that the infantry marched directly over
their bodies. The fieroic Poles with twelve
battallions, for four hours defended the forest
against the tremendous attack. Nine times
they were driven out, and nine times, by a
series of admirably executed manoeuvres,
they repulsed the Russians with immense loss.
Batteries now concentrated in one {mint,were
m a moment flurried to another, and the ar
tillery advanced to the charge like cavalry
sometimes within a hundred feet of the ene
my’s columns and the r e opened a murderous
fire of grape.
At three o’clock, the Generals, many of
whom were wounded, the most of whom had
their horses shot tinder them, and fought on
foot at the head of their divisions, resolved
upon a retrogade movement so as to draw
ihe Russians on the open plain. The Russian
troops then debouched from ihe forest a cloud
of Russian cavalry, with several regiments of
neavy ctiriassiers at their head to the attack.
Cononel Pientka, who had kept up an unre
mit ing fire from his battery for five hours with
perfect sang froid, upon a disabled piece of
cannon, remained to give another effective
fire, then left at full gallop a post which lie
had so long occupied under the terrible fire
of the enemy’s artillery. This rapid move
ment of his battery animated the Russian
forces. The cavairv advanced on a irot up
on the line of a battery of rockets. A terri
ble discharge was poured into their ranks,and
the horses galled to madness by the flakes ofi
fire, became wholly ungovernable and broke, 1
away, spreading disorder in every direction ;
the whole body swept helplessly along the!
fire of the Polish infantry, and in a few min
utes was so completely annihilated, that of a
regiment of cuirassiers who bore inscribed on
their helmets the ‘ Invincibles,’ not a man es
caped. The wreck of the routed cavalry,
pursued by the lancers, carried along in its!
flight the columns of infantry. A general j
retreat commenced, and the cry of ‘ Poland i
forever!’ reached the walls of Warsaw to
cheer the hearts of its anxious inhabitants. — j
So terrible was the fire of that day, that in !
the Polish army there was not a single gene- >
ral or staff'officer Who had not his horse killed !
or wounded under him; two thirds of the of- j
ficers, and perhaps of the soldiers, had their j
clothes pierced with balls, and more than a ;
tenth part of the army were wounded. Thir- j
ty thousand Russians and ten thousand Poles!
were left on the field of battle; rank uponj
rank lay prostrate on the ground, and the!
Forest of Elders was so strewed with bodies !
that it received from that day the name of
the ‘ forest of the dead.’ The Czar heard
with dismay, and all Europe with astonish
ment, that the crosserof the Balkan had been
foiled under the wails of Warsaw.
All day, my companion said, the cannona
ding was terrible. Crowds of citizens, of
both sexes and all ages, were assembled on
the spot where we stood, earnestly watching
the progress of the battle, sharing in all its
vicissitudes, in the highest state of excite
ment as the clearing up of the columns of j
smoke showed when the Russians or Poles!
had tied ; and he described the entry of the
remnant of the Polish army into Warsaw as ;
sublime and terrible; their hair and faces j
were begrimed with powder and blood ; their
armor shattered and broken, and all, even
dying men, were singing pat. mlic songs; and
when the fourth regiment, among whom was
a brother of my companion, and who had
particularly distinguished themselves in the;
batile, crossed the bridge and filed slowly]
through the streets, their lances shivered l
against the cuirasses of the guards, their hel
mets broken, their faces black and spotted
with Mood, some erect, some tottering, and
some barely able to sustain themselves in the
saddle; above the din of the chorus of pa’ri
cfflc gongs rose the distracted erres of rnoth-
ers, wives, daughters and lovers —seeking
among this broken band, for forms dearer
lhan life, many ol whom were then sleeping
on the battle field.
My companion told me that he was then a
lad of seventeen, and had begged with tears
to be allowed to accompany his brother; hut
his widowed mother extorted Iron) him a pro
mise that he would not attempt it. All day
lie had stood with his mother on the very spot
where we did, his hand in hers, which she
grasped convulsively, as every peal of can
non seemed Ihe knell of her son; and when
the lancers pissed, she sprang from his side ;
as she recognised in the drooping figure of an
officer, with h:s spear broken in hrs hands,
the figure of the gallant boy. He was then
reeling in his saddle, his eye was glazed and
vacant, and he died that night in their arms.
Eclipses. —The ancients had terrible ideas
ol Eclipses; supposing them presages of some
dreadful events. Plutarch assures us, ihat in
Rome it was not allowed to talk publicly of
any natural causes ot Eclipses; toe popular
opinion running so strongly in favor of their
supernatural production, at least those of the
Moon; lor as to those of the Sun, they had
some idea that they were caused by tire in
terposition of the Moon, but were at a loss
lor a body to interpose between us aud the
Moon, which they thought must he the wav,
il the Eclipses of the Moon were produced
by natural causes. They therefore made a
great noise with brazen instruments, and set
up loud shouts during the eclipses of the
Moon. Olliers attributed Ihe eclipses of the
Moon to the arts of Magicians, who, hv their
enchantments, plucked her out of Heaven,
and made her skim over the grass.
The natives of Mexico kept fast during j
the time of the Eclipses; and particularly
their women, who beat and abused them
selves, drawing blood from their arms, &.c.,
imagining the Moon has been wounded by
the Sim, 111 some quarrel between them.
The Chinese have an idea that Eclipses
are occasioned by great dragons, who are
ready to devour the Sun and Moon; and
therefore, when they perceived an Eclipse,
they ratile drums and brass kettles, till tbev
think the monster, terrified by the noise, lets
go his prey.
The superstitious notions entertained of
Eclipses, have been sometimes of considera
ble advantage, as was the case with Colum
bus. But the most striking circumstance of
this kind was the prediction of an Eclipse of
the Sun by Thales, the great father of Astro
nomy, which happened according to Mayer’s
calculation, on the 17ih of May, 603 years
before Christ, at the moment that Cvaxares,
King of the Medes, and Aliathos, King of
the Lydians. Yvere preparing for battle, but
alarmed at the appearance of the Eclipse,
they immediately laid down their arms and
negociated a peace; and thus, ignorance,
which is often so injurious to the happiness
of man, may, in this instance, be said to have
largely contributed towards it.

Friends and Fellow Citizens— Having,
even yet, a deep interest in the welfire of
that beloved country, for winch all of us have
periled our lives and the most of us have shed
our blood, we would wish to address to you
a few. words in relation to the political aspect
ot the times. It our sentiments are not cl ‘til
ed in that elegance of language, in which
more learned men might invest them, yet we
hope you will give them a respectful ami
candid perusal—coming as they do, from
those who, for more than half a century, have
watched with a glowing pride, the progress
of our common country to her present hiiih
elevation among the governments of the
earth.
We have witnessed with pain and anxiety
the alarming degeneiacy of the times, brought
about chiefly by injudicious and partial legis
lation.
We have seen privileges which'rightfully
belong to the whole people, bv partial and
unwise legislation,abstracted from them.and
conferred especially upon a few.
This dangerous and iucanti mis ahuse of
the law making povve •, has built up in our
midst a separate inesponsibte power, which,
in its nature, is foreign to Hie frame-work of
our government, and should he unknown to
a people reputed Iree.
Tne contest now going on in ihe country,
is between this power and the govprnrrrnt of
the country; between the incorporated wealth
—the banking institutions of th- country—
and the National Administration, fairly plac
ed in power by the American peoplej in the
exercise of their l ight of suffrage.
From the nature of the contest, it most
necessarily be characterized by great biner
ness. The ferocious denunciation of Mr.
Van Buren and the Democratic party by the
present opposition, is unexampled in the
country.
In darker davs, and in more trying times.
Mr. Jeff *rson himself, our old comoatriot, I
was denounced as ‘ a jacobin,' 1 ( an infidel.’
and l an agrarian’ by the old Federal party ;
from the present opposition dif
fer only in the name, which thyv have un
righteously and impiously appropriated to
themselves.
We now conjure vriu then, friends and fel
low citizens, in this most probably our last
communication to you, to guard with an ever
vigilant jealousy, the glorious inheritance of
FREEDOM and equality of political rights,
which vve, in common with those who need
with us in times and scenes which now belong
to history, have suffered and sacrificed so
much to attain for you. If a foreign enemy
were to invade your soil for the conquest of
the Republic, we would not question your
courage, or doubt your ability to meet and
drive them back ; but the secret advances of
that organized money piwer which is now
feeding upon the essence of your freedom, are
wore insidious in their progress, less accessi
ble to detection, more difficult to resist, and
doubly more dangerous in their design and
attainment.
Be not dismayed by the epithets of ‘ agra
rian ’ and ‘ leveller ’ now so freely bestowed
noon the Chief Magist-ate of your co ntrv.
The great Apostle of American Democracy,
the immortal author of the very charter of
your liberties, Thomas Jefferson himself, and
we, a remnant of his supporters, had to endure
the same in times more inauspicious than the
present. You have honored Mr. Van Boren !
with your confidence, in giving him the high
est office in the world. He will not repav
you by treason to the hopes and happiness of
the friends of human liberty in all quarters of
the globe.
Be not blinded or misled bv false issues.
You have, at the coming election, to elect a
man to reprwent you ip the Nsffcnr!
ature. lo fill tiiat office, let a man lie cho
•MMi who will assist Mr. Van Buren in separa
ting the financial business of the government
Ji'om the business of banking incorporations
and of private individuals. This is the pre
sent great dividing question in National poli
tics ; and in relation to it,you should not hes
itate in contributing your exertions to support
the Administration ot Air. \ an Bureti in car
rying it out. You have also to select a chief
magistrate lor ttie State,and representatives
in the State Legislatures. In selecting these
I little functionaries, you should have an eve
j solely to the principles involved in the contest.
1 lie great question of State policy now
submitted lor the decision of the people is,
whether this irresponsible money power, of
which we nave been speaking, shall he made
amenable to the people—whether we shall
have a thorough and radical reform of the
present system of banki g, or whether that
system shall still exist in all its irresponsibility,
and be suffered to lord it over lire prostrate
rights of a once free people.
We seek not destruction, hut we ask a re
form which will secure to all those privileges
winch are now enjoyed but by a few—a re
form which will make banks, like others,
amenable to the laic's, and responsible for their
corporate debts.
Friends and fellow citizens! we appeal to
vou as men who have fought for those rights
which we now conjure you to secure, by de
positing your votes for men who will guard
and sustain them.
We appeal to you as men who have never
changed sides in politics—as men who have
been Democrats all your lives, in the longest,
deepest, broadest sense of that word. *
We appeal to you as men whom no un
meaning epithets could aver dismay—whom
no‘panic’ could frighten, and no pecuniary
‘ distress’ could subdue.
As such, fellow citizens, we appeal to you
in this struggle against privileged moneyed
monopolies and incorporated wealth, to carry
SafUv through the contest that flag which, in
much severer conflicts, we have borne trium
phantly through,‘still full high advanced.’

■ YOUNG MECHANICS.
There is no class of the community upon
whom the future vveltiire of the country more
essentially depends than upon the rising gen
eration of young mechanics. If they are in
telligent, sober, industrious, and consequently
independent, able and accustomed lo judge
tor Itiemselves, and governed,in their conduct,
by an enlightened view of their own best in
terests; if they are men of this sort, the me
chanics, and especially the young mechanics,
Will foim the strongest bulwark of our free
institutions, and the liest hope of the Repub
lic. _
If, on the other hand, they are ignorant,
idle, dissolute, and Consequently poor, and de
pendent upon those who are willing to trust
them—if our mechanics should unhappily
become such a class, (of which I thank Goa,
mere is but little danger,) they would soon be
converted into the mere tools of a few rich
and artful men, who, having first stripped
them ol every sense of self-respect, and every
feeling proper to virtuous citizens, would use
them as passive instruments for promoting
their own ambitious objects, and for the en
actmentof laws which nre beneficial to no
body but the artful few with whom they ori
ginate.
li is as true of ihe mechanical arts as of
any other profession, that 4 knowlecge is
power,’and vre earnestly recommend io the
attention of our friends among the young me
chanics, the following excellent 4 hints,’ copi
ed from tfie Buffalo Journal:
Hmts to Young Mechanics. —The first ob
ject t.f a mecli .n c. as it should be that of
every one, is to b come thoroughly acquaint
ed with his particular business or calling.
We are too apt to learn our trade or profes
sion by halves—to practise it by halves—and
hei.ee being compelled to hire by halves--die
by inches.
Study and labor to exefei your competitora,
and then you will not fail to command the
patiouage ol the most discerning and liberal
paymasters. There is a great vaiiety of
inglily use lul knowledge which appertains to
every branch of business that may be acquir
ed by a con se ol judicious reading. This
knowledge, well digested and sysiematized,
Constitutes the science ol every occupation.
I iius, it you are a carpenter, ihe science of
ai ciiitecluie should he studied with profound
attention; it a ship-builder, the science of
iiavigal.on and hydrost dies, and that combi
nation tit them winch will give ihe largest ca
pacity to a vessel with the least resistance
bom tne water, and the greatest safety in
time of danger from the elements. If you
are a iiiactiinist or mill-vvriglit, the mechanic
[lowers should he well understood ; and iftlie
maciiinery is to he |ro|x:llt'd bv steam or wa
ter, you should study the science of hydrau
lics, an.! should have a perfect knowledge of
the cheat,cal combination ol heat and water,
both in its latent and active state, and under
stand how it happens that a quart of water
converted into steam, which, by a thermo
meter, is no hotter than boiling water,yet will
bring a gallon of water up to the same tem
pera tine. If you are a baiter, a dyer, a pain
ler, or a tanner, there is no study so* useful as
chemistry.
I he fact was known a quarter of a centu
ry to chemists that gum shellac was insoluble
in water before any hatter ever need it
make waterproof hats. The whole art of
giving beautiful and durable colors to difftr
ent bodies entirely depends upon the chemi
cal affinity ol such bodies for the coloring ma
terial, and tiie affinity of this latter for the
different colored lays of |>o-ht.
\\ e speak understandiugly when we sav
that the tanners and the public in the United
States lose millions annually from the lack of
scientific knowledge how best to combine ve
getable tannin with animal erclatin. which is
ih.- chemical process of making leather—call
it by what names you please.
, I here is a vast amount of knowledge
vvmch is now completely useless, that ought
to be brought home to the understanding of
every operative in this republic. We Tove
industry and respect all who practice it. Eut
hhor without study is like a body without u
soul. Cultivate and enrich ihe mind with all
useful knowledge, and rest assured that an
intelligent understanding will teach the hands
how to earn and Jiars when the ignorant earn
only cents.
Absence of mind. — Dr. Campbell, the au-.
thor ui the survey of Great Britain, was so
