ABOUT BRAXDRETH’S PILLS AND
THEIR EFFECTS.
A Vegetable and Universal Medicine, proved by
experience of thousands to be, when properly perse
vered with, a certain cure in every form of the Only
One Disease, all having the same origin, and invari
ably arise from the UNIVERSAL ROOT of all
disease, namely, IMPURITY or IMPERFECT
circulation of the BLOOD.
In a period of little mire than three years in the
United States, they have restored to a state of health
and enjoyment over ONE HUNDRED THOUS
AND persons, who were given over as incurable by
Physicians of the first rank and standing, and in ma
ny cases where every other remedy had been resort
ed to in vain.
In all cases of Pain or Weakness, whether it be
chronic or recent, whether it be deafness or pain in the
side, whether it arise from constitutional or some im
mediate cause, whether it be from internal or external
injury, it will be cured by persevering in the use of
these Pills.
The great principle of ‘ PURGING’ is beginning
to be appreciated. It is found much more convenient
to take an occasional dose of half a dozen Pills, and
be always well, than to send for a Doctor and be bled,
blistered and salivated—with the certainty that if you
are not ki.led, you will be sure to have months of mis
erable weakness, and the only one who is benefitted is
your Doctor. Look at the difference between the ap
pearance of those two persons—one has been treated
by your regular practitioner—see how pale and debil
itated lie is ; see how the shadow of death throws his
solitary glance from emaciated his countenance;see how
he trembles in every limb ; his eyes sunk ; his teeth
destroyed ; his constitution, perhaps, irrecoverably
gone—yet, just hear how he arrogates to himself cred
it. He says, ‘ most inveterate case of liver complaint’
—‘ nothing hut the most energetic remedies saved
him.’ Energetic measures i. e. Mercury and Bleed
ing ruined his constitution, better say. So to save
life you must half poison with that comforter of the
teeth and gums—MEßCUßY—and positively make
a man miserable the sad remainder of his existence ;
this is called curing. Shocking fo.ly.
Let us now too* at your ‘ purged’ man—the man
who lias taken Brandretli’s Pills for Liver Complaint
—he has the firm, elastic tread of conscious strength,
his countenance is clear and serene, his eye is full and
sparkling with the feeling of new life and animation ;
Ite has been confined a few days to his bed, hut he
used nothing but the true Brandreth’s Pills,
and soon rose without any injury being sustained by
his constitution. Instead of being for months in a
weak state, he will be stronger after he has entirely
recovered fiotn the attack; because his blood and
fluids have become purified, and having purged away
ihe old and impure fluids, the solids are thereby reno
vaLd, and he is not borne down by useless particles,
hut has renewed his life and body both.
The principle of purging with Brandreth’s Pills re
moves nothing but the useless and decayed particles
from the body—the morbid and corrupt humors of the
blood ; those humors which cause disease—they im
pede the functions of the liver when they settle upon
the muscles, produce rheumatism ; or, upon the nerves,
produce gout; or upon the lungs, produce consump
tion ; or, upon the intestines, costiveness , or, upon
the lining of the blood vessels, apoplexy and paralysis,
and ail the train of disorders so melancholy to the
sufferer and all who behold them.
Yes, purging these humors from the body is the
true cure for all these complaints, and every other
form of disease ; this is no mere assertion, it is a
demonstrable truth, and each day it is extending it
self ; far and wide it is becoming known, and more
and more appreciated.
The cure by purging may more depend upon the
laws which produce sweetness or purity than may be
generally imagined. Whatever tends to stagnate will
produce sickness, b cause it tends to putrefaction ;
therefore the necessity of constant exercise is seen.
When constant exercise cannot be used FROM
ANY CAUSE, the occasional use of Opening
Medicine is ABSOLUTELY required. Thusthe
conduits of the Blood, the fountain of life, are
kept free from those impurities which would prevent
its steady current ministering health. Thus, morbid
humors are prevented from becoming mixed with it.
It is nature which is thus assisted through the means
and outlets which she has provided for herself.

MEDICAL REMOVAL.
DR. B. R. THOMAS
BEGS leave to inform the afflicted and the public
generally, that he has removed from Columbus,
Georgia, to Selma, Alabama, and is prepared to at
tend and treat all diseases both acute and chronic, on
a plan more successful and far superior to any thing
known among physicians. Having read, studied and
practised many years with the mast eminent German,
Indian, and Durham Doctors, both in the United
States and Canada, and purchased afi their valuable
secret recipes, and having made an arrangement with
the Northern Botanic Shakers to cultivate and collect,
at the proper season of the year, all the valuable effi
cacious remedies known and used by the most suc
cessful practitioners, his medicines will always be
fresh and genuine, and doubly efficacious in removing
diseases to any medicines ever offered for sale in the
United States, and cannot fail to relieve all curable*
diseases.
The following list includes some of the very mam
different diseases which he has generally treated with
entire success, to the astonishment of thousands: —
scrofula, king’s evil, long standing sores of every de
scription, white swellings, obstinate eruptions of the
skin, affections of the kidneys,bladder, strictures, &c.
ItCjPk/Ys, dropsy, cough, pain and soreness in the
breast, whooping cough, quinsy, croup, ICj 25 asthma,
rheumatism, liver complaints, connected w ith a dis
eased state of the lungs, diseases of the liver, con
sumption in the first stage, general debility, loss of
appetite, indigestion, inflamation of the stomach and
bowels, piles, fistula, St. Anthony’s fire,
■CU 33 All cases of bilious, scarlet and tvphus fevers,
inflammation of the heart, nervous and scrofulous of the
membranes and ligaments, cancers, and all diseases
arising from impurities of the blood, an d those
diseases peculiar to females can be cured with cer
tainty, including If fT* sterility. An infallible
cure for all mercurial diseases with venerial teint, in
all its forms, stages, types and shadows. A newly
discovered remedy for the gravel, which, without de
falcation, will dissolve the calculus or stone, in the
kidneys and bladder, —§10,000 has been offered for
the. recijie of compounding this medicine.
N. B. Persons afflicted with any of the above dis
eases, or any other to which the human family is
subject, that is within reach of medical skill, can be
speedily restored to health by sending the symptoms
of their diseases in writing to Dr. B. R. Thomas, in
Selma, Alabama, where he will select, compound and
prepare, at his Bo anic Pharmacy, medicines exactly
to suit their diseases. Although they may be of ma
ny years standing, attended by a dozen different doc
tors, and called by as many different names, is no
good reason why they cannot be cured by the subscri
ber. Let the afflicted most assuredly know that these
aie not vain pretensions, but they are sober realities
founded upon experience and actual cures.
Persons living at a distance must expect to pay for
their medicines when they get them. No letter ad
dressed to the subscriber will bo taken from the office

From the New Y ork Evening Post.
I MAY NOT WHOLLY DIE.
I may not wholly die ! the green leaved tree
May by the lightning’s fearful stroke be rent—
Its lordly trunk may to theuarth be i mt
Ani die, —but there is no such death for nte.
The violet that rears its modest head,
YV et with the dew drops of the opening morn,
Ere night may lie upon the sward uptorti,
And fairies sing a requiem o’er the dead.
The bird that sings its evening melody,
Y\ hose sweet voice echoes thro’ the depths of ni<dit
May cease its music ere the morning light D
And on the turf with blood-stained plumage lie.
I he ‘dear Gazelle,’ whose bright and melting eye
beerned to bespeak a human heart beneath
May lie a stiffened coprse upon the heath
Ere one day’s sun can pass athwart the sky.
As the tree falleth shall it rest for aye—
Y\ hen the flower drops it will not bloom again
Is or will the bird, by some rude archer slain,
Awake and sing—but I can never die !
Though through my veins my blood may cease tof \—
Thouvh from my eye the luster may depart,
And the quick pulses stop within the heart
Y et, even in death, I cannot wholly die !
Is there no region where the bird may flee,
When the fell shaft is plung’d within its breast.
Up ’ntid the summer clouds, and ever rest !
None for the bird—and yet there’s one for me.
3 hert who would live to be the slave ol sense,
And seek to lengthen out his puny fife ?
Oast off the world, with all its care and strife,
Prepare for heaven by humble penitence.
ISABELLE AND HER SISTER KATE,
AND THEIR COUSIN.
BY HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.
r Mistakes and misunderstandings are not
such bad things after all, at least not always
so ; circumstances alter cases.
I remember a case in point. Every body
in the country admired Isabelle Edmonds, and
in truth, she was an admirable creature, just
made for admiration and sonnetteering, and
falling in love with, and accordingly all the
county ot was in love with her. The
columns of every Argus, and Herald, and
Sentinel, and G-izetle, and Spectator, and all
manner of newspapers, abounded with the
effusions, supplicatory and declaratory, of her
worshippers; in short, Miss Isabelle*was the
object of all the spare ‘ ideality’ in all the re
gion round about. Now I shall not inform
my respected readers how she looked, you
may just think ot a Venus, a Payche, a Ma
donna, a fairy, an angel, &c. a*nd you will
have a very definite idea on Ihe point. 1 must
run on with my story. lam not about lo
choose this angel for my heroine, because she
is too handsome, and too much like other
heroines for my purpose. But Miss Isabelle
had a sjster, and 1 think I shall take her.—
‘Lillie Kale,’ for she was always spoken of
in the diminutive, was some years younger
than her sister, and somewhat shorter in sta
ture. She had no pretensions to beauty—
mane at all; yet there was a certain some
thing, a certain—in short, sir, she looked ve- |
rv much like Mrs. A. or Miss G. whom you |
admire so much, though you always declare j
she is not handsome.
It requires a very peculiar talent to he
overlooked with a good grace, and in this ta
lent Miss Kate excelled. She was as placid
and as happy by the side of her brilliant sis
ter, ns any little contented star, that for ages
twinkled on, unnoticed and almosteclipscd by
the side of the peerless moon. Indeed, the
only art or science, in which Kate ever made
any great proficiency, was the art and sci
ence of being happy, and m this she so ex
celled, that one could scarcely be in her pre
sence hall an hour without feeling unaccoun
tably comfortable themselves.
She had a world of sprightliness, a deal of
simplicity and affection, with a dash of good
natured shrewdness, that alter all, kept you
more in awe than you would ever suppose
you could be kept, by such a merry, goodua
tured little body. Not one oflsabelle’s ador
ers ever looked at her with such devout ad
miration as did the laughter-loving Kate.
No one was so ready to run, wait and tend —
to be up stairs and down stairs, and every
where in ten minutes, when Isabella was
dressing tor conquest. In short, she was, as
the dedications of books sometimes set forth,
her ladyship’s most obedient, most devoted
servant.
But if I am going to tell you my story, I
must not keep you all night looking ai pic
tures; so now to my tale, which I shall com
mence in manner and form the following:
It came to pass that a certain college vale
dictorian and a far off” cousin of the two sis
ters, came down to pass a few months of his
free agency at their father’s; and, ns atore
said, lie had carried off’ the first collegiate
honor, besides the hearts of all the ladies in
ihe front gallery at the last commencement.
So interesting ! so poetic ! such fine eyes,
and ail that, was the reputation he left with
the gentler sex. But alas, poor Edward,
what did fill this advantage him? so long as
he was afflicted with that unutterable, indes
cribable malady, commonly rendered bashfnl
i ess —a worse mtllifier than anv ever heard
of in Carolina. Should you see him in com
pany, you would really suppose him asham
ed of Lis remarkably handsome person and
cultivated mind. When he began to speak,
you felt tempted to throw open the window
and offer him a smelling bottle, he made such
a distressing affair of it, and as to speaking
to a lady, the thing was not to be thought of.
When Kate heard that this ‘rara avis’
was coming to her father’s, she was unac
countably interested to see him, of course—
because tie was her cousin, and because —a
dozen other things too numerous to mention.
He came, and was lor one or two days an
object of commiseration as well a3 admira
tion to the whole family circle. After a
while, however, he grew quite domestic ; en
tered the room straight forward, instead of
stealing in sideways—talked off whole sen
tences without stopping—looking Miss Isa
belle full in the face without blushing—even
tried his skill at sketching patterns, and wind
ing silk —reading poetry and played the flute
with the ladies —rompted and frolicked with
her children, and in short, as old John observ
ed, was a psalm book from morning till night.
Divers reports began to spread abroad in
the neighborhood, and great confusion exist
ed in the camp of Miss Isabelle’s admirets.
!t was stated with great precision, how many
times they had ridden —walked —talked to
n-ether —and even ail they had said—in short
the whole neighborhood was full of
“ That strange knowledge that doth come
We know not how—we know not where.”
As for Kate, she always gave all admirers to
her sister, ex officio ; so she thought ‘ that of
all the men site had ever seen, she should
like cousin Edward best for a brother,’ and
she did hope Isabelle would like him as much
as she did ; and for some reason or other, her
speculations were remarkably drawn to this
point; and yet for some reason or other, she
felt as if she could not ask any questions
about it.
At last, events appeared to draw towards a
: crisis. Edward became more and more
; brown studious’ every day, and lie and Isa
belle bad divers solitary walks and confabula
tions, from which they returned with a pecu
liar solemnity of countenance. M r --enver,
the quick-sighted little Kite rv;. ced that when
Edward was with herself, tie seemed to talk
as though lie talked not, when with Isabelle
he was ail animali n and interest; that he
was constantly falling into trances and reve
ries, and broke off’ the thread of conversa
tion abruptly ; and, in short, had every ap
pearance ol a person who would be glad to
say something, if he only knew how.
’ So,’ said Kate to herself, ‘ they neither
ot them speak to me on the subject—l should ‘
think they might. Belle I should think would,
and Edward knows I am a good friend of his ;
I know he is thinking of it all the time, he
might as well tell me, and he shall.’
1 he next morning Miss Kate was sitting
in the little back pat lor. Isabelle was gone
out shopping, and Edward was—she ditf not
know where. Oh, no, here tie is, coming,
book in hand, into the self-same little
room; ‘now for it,’said the merry girl, men
tally ; ‘l’ll make a charge at him.’ She look
ed up, Master Edward was sitting diagonal
ly on the sola, twirling the leaves of his book
in a very unscholar-like manner; he looked
out of the window and—then he walked to
the side-board and poured out three tumblers i
of water; then he drew a chair up to the!
work table and took up first one ball of cotton, j
looked it all over, and laid it down again, then i
another, then he took up the scissors and 1
minced up two or three little bits of paper, !
and then lie began to pull the needles out of
the needle-book, and put them hack again.
‘Do you wish for some sewing, sir?’ said
the young lady after having very composed
ly superintended those operations.
‘ How ma’am, what?’ said he, start
ing and upsetting the box, stand and all, up
on the floor.
‘Now, cousin, I’ll thank you to pickup
that cotton,’said Kate, as the confused colle
gian stood staring at the cotton balls rolling
in divers directions. It takes some time to
pick up the things in a lady’s work box ; but
at last peace was restored, and with it came
a long pause.
‘ Well cousin,’ said Kate in about ten min
utes, ‘if you can’t speak lean; you have
something to tell me, you know von have.’
‘ Well, I know 1 have,’ said the scholar in
a tone of hearty vexation.
‘ There is no need of being so fierce about
it,’ said the mischevous maiden ; ‘ nor ol tan
gling my silk, and picking out all my needles,
and upsetting my work box. as preparatory
ceremonies.’
‘ There is never any need of being a fool,
Kate, but 1 am vexed that I cannot say’—(a
long pause.)
‘ Well sir, you have displayed a reasonable
fluency so far; don’t you feel as if you could
finish? Don’t he alarmed; I should like of
all things to be your confidante.’
But Edward did not finish—his tongue
clave to the root of his mouth, and he ap
peared !o be going into convulsions.
‘Well, I must finish for you, I suppose,’
said the young lady; ‘ the short of the matter
is, Master Edward, you are in love, and have
exhibited the phenomena thereof this fort
night. Now you know 1 am a friendly little
body, so do be tractab’e, and tell me the rest.
Have you said any thing to her about it ?’
‘To her—to who?’ said Edward, starting.
‘ Why, Isabelle, to be sure—it’s she, isn’t
it ?’
‘No, Miss Catharine, it’s you!’ said the
scholar, who, like most bashful persons, could
be amazing explicit when he spoke at all.
Poor little Kate ! it was her turn to look at
the cotton balls, and la exhibit symptoms of
scarlet'fever, and but tiiat’s no con
cern of mine.
THE CHARACTER OF WASHINGTON.
The following beautiful speecb was made
by Senator liotibins, of Rhode Island, at a
dinner at Mr. Webster’s in Washington, du
ring the session of 1837 8. It was near the
birth day of Washington, and Mr. Robbins
being called on for a toast, offered the remarks
which follow. They were written out at the
time and given to the Editors of the Intelli
gencer (or publication, but the manuscript
got mislaid, and could not be found till a few
days since.
On the near approach of that calendar-day
which gave birth to Washington, I feel re
kindling within me some of those emotions
always connected with the recollection of
that hallowed name. Permit me to indulge
them, on this occasion lor a moment, in a few
remarks, as preliminary to a sentiment which
I shall beg leave to propose.
I consider it as one of ttie consolations ot
my age that I am old enough and fortunate
enough to have seen that wonderful man.
This happiness is still common to so many
yet among the living, that less is thought off
it now than will be in after times; but it is
no less a happiness to me on that account.
While a boy at school, I saw him, for the
first time; it was when he was passing
through New England to take the command
in-chief of the American armies at Cambridge.
Never shall I forget the impression his im
posing presence then made upon my young
imagination ; so superior did tie seem to me
to all that I bad seen or imagined of the tin
man form for striking effect. I remember
with what delight, in my after studies, I came
to the line in Virgil that expressed alt the en
thusiasm of triy own feelings, as inspired by
that presence, and which 1 could not often
enough repeat:
1 Credo equidem, nc-c vana tides, genus esse deo'iim.’
I saw him again at his interview with
Rochambeau, when they met to setiie the
plan of combined operations between the
French fleet and the American armies, against
the British on the Ctiesapeake; and then I
saw the immense crowd drawn together from
all the neighboring towns, to get, if possible,
one look at the man who had throned himself
in every heart. Not one of that immense
crowd doubted the final triumph of his coun
try in her arduous conflict; tor every one
saw, or thought he saw, in Washington, her
uuardian angel, commissioned by Heaven to
uisure her that triumph. Nil desperandum
was the motto with every one.
* Nil desperandum, Teucroduce, auspice Teuero.’
In a 4er life, when the judgment corrects the I
extravagance of eatly impressions, I saw him
on several occasions, hut saw nothing at ei
ther to adminish me of any extravagance in
my early impressions. The impression was
still the “same; 1 had the same overpowering
sense of being in the presence of a superior
bding.
It is indeed remarkable, and I believe
unique in the history ot men, that \\ ashmg
ton made the same impression upon all minds,
at all places and at once. When his fame
first broke upon the world, it spread at once
over the whole world. By the consent of
mankind —by the universal sentiment—he
was placed at the head of the human species;
above ail envy, because above all emulation:
for no one then pretended, or has pretended
to be—at least who has been allowed to be—
the co-rival of Washington in fame.
When the great Frederick of Prussia sent
his portrait to Washington, with this inscrip
tion upon it, ‘From the oldest General in
Europe to the greatest General in the world,”
he did hut echo the sentiment of all the chiv
alry of Europe. Nor was the sentiment con
fined to Europe, nor to tho bounds cf clvfli
-1 r.a’.o.t; tor the Arab of ihe Decert talked of
ashington in his tent; his name wandered
with the wandering Scythian, and was cher
ished by him as a household word in all his
migrations. No clime was so barbarous as
to be a stanger to the name ; hut every where,
and bv all men, that name was placed at the
same point ot elevation, and above compeer.
As it was in the beginning, so it is now ; of
! the future we cannot speak with certainly.
Some future age, in the endless revolutions of
I time, may produce another Washington;
hut the greater probability is that hejsdes
j tilled to remain forever, as he now is, the
j Plienix of human kind.
W hat possession to his country is such a
fame! Such a
‘ Clarion el rcnerabile nonu n
( ‘ GetiUbus!’
I oall his countrymen it gives, and forever
will give, a passport to respect wherever they
j go, to whatever part of the globe; tor his
country is in every other identified with that
fame.
What, then, is incumbent upon us, his
countrymen? Why, to he such a People as
| s l* a H he worthy of such a fame—a People of
j whom it shall he said, *No wonder such a
| people have produced such a* man as YVasli-
I ington. 1 give you, therefore, this sentiment :
The memory of Washington ; May his
j countrymen prove themselves a People wor
thy of his fame.
The Square of the Burning Dead.—We
now arrived at the end of our journey, and
entered the square of the burning dead'. Here
I beheld six or seven bodies, ail burning, with
here and there liie remains of some half roast
ed ; the fire being insullicient totally to con
sume them, i lie stench that arose occa
sionally from the heaps of burning bodies was
sickening. In this square (or rather three
partsi of a quare, for three sides are formed
by high walls, and the fourth is open to the
river.) wen probably from two to three hund
red vultures ; all as tame as a flock of geese ;
and I drove them before me; as a country
man drives his geese ; and until I pelted them
lustily with stones, knocking two or three
over, they made no attempt to fly. Then,
however, they all rose up in an immense dus
ky flock darkening the air; and then on the
high walls, on which they settled, I beheld at*
immense flock of adjutans ; these birds I al
so pelted ; and their long legs, and enormous
beaks, rendered this sight alone worth my
journey. There is, very judiciously, an es
tablished law, which inflicts on any one des
troying these birds, or tlie jackdaw, a severe
fine. Calcutta streets are kept free from (lie
least nuisance, by the presence of some thou
sand kites and jackdaws, occasionally assist
ed by the odd-looking adjutant. These birds,
from being long unmolested, are the most im
pudent villa ins conceivable. While sitting in
my room at Calcutta, four kites made a rush
at some eatables that were before me, and
which I was at the time indulging myself. I
happened to be sitting with my back to the
window. I did not see the thieves till they
made the attack, by which I was so startled,
that I was, for the moment, quite unnerved.
In a short time, recovering myself, I saw my
viands partly carried off, and, on looking
round, beheld two of the caitiffs sitting on the
back of a chair, close to me. 1 gently grop
ed for my walking stick, and, with one blow,
I had the satisfaction of taking deadly revenge.
I then threw the lifeless corpsesjout of the win
dow, on to a flat roofed house close by ; and
in a minute, there were fifty kites assembled
round, no doubt as jurymen, to ascertain the
cause ot death. Their lamentationa were
loud and long; at last, the two dead kites (as
1 thought) arose, looked earnestly at their fel
lows, made a turn or two amongst them, when
the whole host flew together ! Before a pen
alty was introduced for the destruction of
those birds, many adjutants fell victims to
t heir gluttony, and the cruelty of the idlers at
T ort W iiltain. A large marrowbone was
provided and powder placed, with a slow
burning match in the inside; the hone was
then smeared over with fiit and thrown into
the square; in an instant it was in the capa
cious pouch of the adjutant, who flew off to
disgorge it at leisure; but his flight wassooft
stopped by the going off of the powder, which
blew the unsuspecting victim into fragments,
doubtless to the indescribable delight of the
authors of the cruel deed.— W. H. Leigh's.
Travels in South Austria.
Always Happy. — An Italian bishop, strug
gling through great difficulties without re
pining, met with much opposition in his epis
copal functions without betraying the least
impatience. One of his intimate friends, who
highly admired those virtues which he tho’t
it impossible to imitate, once asked the pre
late if he could impart the secret of being al
ways easy. ‘Yes, 5 replied the old man, 4 1
can teach you my secret, and with great fa
cility. it consists in making a right use of
my eyes. 5 Ilis friend begged him to explain
himself. ‘ Most willingly, 5 returned the bish
op. l ln whatever state 1 am, I first look up
to Heaven, and remember that my principal
business here is to get there; I ‘then look
down upon the earth, and call to mind how
small a space I shall occupy in it when I come
to he interred ; 1 then look around in the world
and observe what multitudes there are in all
respects more unhappy than myself. Thus
I learn where true happiness is placed, where
all our cares must end, and what little reason
I have to repine or complain. 55
/ did it t say Bristles. —The Louisville Jour
nal relates the following anecdote: —“ \Ye
remember that, some years ago Roger M.
Sherman aml Perry Smith were opposed to
each other as advocates in an important case
before a Court of Justice. Smith opened the
case with a violent and foolish tirade against
Sherman's political character. Shermon rose
very composedly and remarked— l I shall not
discuss politics with Mr. Smith, before this
court, but I am perfectly willing to argue
questions of law, to chop logic, or even to
split hairs with him. 5 ‘ Split that, then, 5 said
Smith at the same time pulling a short, rough
looking hair from his own head, and handing
it over towards Sherman. ‘ May it please
the honorable court,’ retorted Sherman ns
quick as lightning. ‘ I didn’t say eristles. 5 5

who will attain the age of hii years in Janu

very valuable,) and on thesecond three guin
