THEyt KPPKCIS.
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
ibly arise from the UNIVERSAL iROOT of ail
lisease, namely, IMPURITY or IMPERFECT j
irculation of the BLOOD.
In a period of little more than three years in the
United States, they havo restored to a stateof health
ind enjoyment over ONE HUNDRED THOUS
AND persons, who were given over as incurable by
’liysicians of the first rank and standing, and in ma
ty cases where every other remedy had been resort
d to in vain.
In all cases of Pain or “Weakness, whether it be ‘
ihronic or recent, whether it be deafness or pain in the
side, wheiher it arise from .constitutional or some im
nediale cause, whethejr i( be from internal or external
injury, it will be cured by persevering in the use of
hose Pills.
The great principle of * PURGING’ is beginning
to be appreciated. It is found much more convenient
Ito take an occasional dose of half a dozen Pills, and
>e always well, than to send for a Doctor arid be bled,
i distere.d ,snd salivated—with the certainty that if you
are not ki led, you will he sure to have months of mis
•rable 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 he is ; see how the shadow of.defl.th throws his
soli ary glance from emaciatedfds Counteuanctqsee how
he trembles in every limb ; lus eyes sunk ; his teeth
lestroyed ; his constitution, perhaps, iirecoverably
gone—vet, just hear how he arrogates to himself cred
it. He says, ‘ most inveterate case of liv- r complaint’
—■ nothing but the most energetic remedies saved
him.’ Energetic measures ! i. e. Mercury an.l Bleed
ing ruined his constitution, better say. So to .save
use you must half poison with that conifiirter of the :
eeth and gums—MEßCUßY—and positively make
a man njisereble the sad rernauider of his existence ;
this is called curing. Chocking fo.ly.
Let us now loo< at your ‘ purged’ man—the man
who has taken Brandretli’s Pills for Liver Complaint
—lie has the firm, elastic tread of conscious strength,
his countenance is clear and serene, his eye is full and
-parkling with the feeling of new life and animation ;
he has bee,n copfined a feiv days to his hpd, but he
used nothing hut the true Brandretli’s Pills,
ind 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 from the attack ; because his blood and
lluids have become purified, And having purged away
the old and impure fluids, the solids are thereby reno
vated, and he is not borne down by useless particles,
but. has renewed his life and body-both, •, ,
The principle of purging with Brandreth’s Pills re
inov “ti hliing 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 yuf “, or upon the lungs, produce consump
.ion ; or, upon the intestines, costiveness , or, upon
:hv lining of the blood vessels, apoplexy and paralysis,
and all the train of disorders so melancholy to the
sufferer and all who behold jhein. . ■,
Yes, purging these humors from the body is the
tiue cure fir all .these complaints, and, every other
Pum of disease; this is no mere assertion, it is a
demonstrable truth, and each day i: is extending it
self ; ar and wide it is becoming known, and more
and more appre iated.
The cure by purging may jnpre plcpcnd. upon the
laws which produce svu.eetr.ess cr purity than may be
generally imagined. Whatever tends to stagnate will
nrodttce sickness, b (ause it tends to putrefaction;
hrrefore the necessity of constant exercise is seen.
Wlien constant exercise cannot l>e used FROM
ANY CAUSE, the occasional use of Opening
Medicine is ABSOLUTELY required. Thus (lie
conduits of the Bi.uod, the fountain of life, are
kept free from those impurities which would prevent
i;s steady current ministering health. Thus, morbid
humors ire prevented from becoming mixed with it.
j It is nature which is tbps assisted through, the means
I and outlets winch she has provided for herself.

EDITED BY
PARK BENJAMIN,
RUFUS VY. GRISWOLD,
Editors of the Brother Jonathan.
On Saturday, the 19th of October, was issued a
specimen number of a new weekly kheet entitled ‘The
Nmv World,’ and on the 26 h of the same month
commenced the regular publication, under that title, of
the largest, cheapest, arid most elegant periodical in
America. Its Editors were the originators, and, un
til the commencemrM of the present publication, the
conductors of the ‘ B other Jonathan ’ and they brine
their aid the experience acquired in that popular jour
nal, and greatly increased facilities, of every kind, de
rived from newly opened foreign and home correspon
dence, agencies, &c. In addition to all the popular
periodicals of this continent, they will receive regular
ly from London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and oilier Jiu
ropean capitals, the most celebrated literary journals,
such as the Monthly Chronicle, the Monthly, the New
Monthly, the Gentlemen’s. Frazer’s, Blackwood’s,
tlu- United Service, the Asiatic. Tail’s, and tihe Uni
versity Magazines, Bentley’s Missehany, The Court
Journal, the Court Gazeite. La Belle* A’ssemblee,
Era, The Satirist, The Age, The Examiner, the
Writings of Dickens, the Quarterly, the Foreign
Quarterly, the London, the Edinburgh, arid the Dub
lin Reviews, &c. &<:. &c. 1
From all these, and from every other new work ol
merit, the best seiec ions will be given immediately af
ter their reception, and thus the spirit of contemporary
Phi'ittare, in ihe Old World and the New, placed in
the reach of even the poorest and most humble.
While the Editors will make the most early and co
pious selections from literary productions, they will
not be forgetful of ihe necessity ol presenting all
the news of the time, in a perfect and faithful di
gest. They will especially aim to make The New-
World worth’ of its name from its perfect compila
tion ot Domestic News as well as intelligence from
all parts of the Western Hemisphere. Our newspa
pers, in general, contain foil accounts of all that hap
pens, in die fold World, even to the most trivial occur
rrnces, which can be of little or no interest, to our peo
ple ; while they omit or neglect much that is of con
sequence from the various countries of the New.
The editoriel articles of The New World, while
they will be rigidly free from all political or sectional
bins, will generally be upon topics of immediate inter
est, and have direct reference to passing events—to
the tunes and the country.
With the most ample assistance in every depart
ment ; with resources more than sufficient, and friends
numerous and true ; with a thousand incen ives to ex
ertion, and every evidence and assurance of the most
triumphant success before it, The New World,
starts into life, and will long gladden and enliven the
firesides of every portion of onr.grcat country.

7 tfAHii undersigned begs leave to infoim his friends,
£l and the public generally, that he has resumed
his situation in this we.il known establishment; that it
has undergone thorough repairs and cleansing; that
his table is provided with the best the country-can
afford, prepared by experienced cooks. He is also
welt furnished with excellent servants and ostlers, and
a bar constantly supplied with choice liquors. His
house is large and commodious, so that he has it in his
power a* all times lo furnish travellers and boarders
with private Separate rooms, if desirable. In addition
to his common parlor, he has also a ladies’ parlor anil
ladies’ ordinary, entirely separated from the other
parts ofthe establishment.
Both lines of the great Western and Northern
stages stop at this establishment, as well as all the
stages from the cross roads coming into the city, ex

From long experience in the business, and from un

the favorable location of the City Hall, it being in the
most fashionable and business part of the city, he
hopes to merit and receive a continuance of public
patronage. THOMAS JAMES.

THE YOUNG GREEK GIRL.
A young Greek girl, . whose. lover, .smitten
with the plague, was convened to the .tern
porary hospital” at the Seven ‘Powers, bad
no sooner ascertained whether they Jr*d
carried him, than without ra/mga word to
her parents, who would as she well knew,
t Rave opposed tier design, sire left her home, j
and presented herself, at the porta! of the in-|
lected fortress, as the nurse o; the young j
Greek who had been received there on the
previous day. In vain dal the Governor,
| imagining from her youth, and the calm ano
collected manner in which she offend htrsel
up a certain victim to the pe.-pfence, that
she was not aware ofter danger, end a.ortd
to dissuade tier from her project. She was
immoveable; and, was ult maiel/ permitted
to approach the bedside of the dying sufferer.
Not a tear, not a.murmur escaped her, as
• she took her place beside his pillow, and en
tered upon tier diSjie,ate office. In the par
oxysms ot Ins jmidt ess, as the p is in was;
feeding upon h;s strength and grappling at
his brain, he spoke of tier fondly, he talked t.
her, he stretched forth his liandto clasp her.
and he thrust her from him as he .yelled out
in his agony, and his l.mbs writh'd Uneath
the tortuie of the passing.ppasta.
And slie bore it all unshrinkingly: and
even amid his misery she felt a lhr.il of joy
as she discovered that pain and madness i ad
alike failed to blot h r image from his men o. v.
Bat there were moments less cut* I than these,
,in which reason resumed her temporary
s.vav, and the devoted girl was pressed to tV
(evert'd bosom of her hi led lover; and in
these —hiiei as they were -she feU that she
was overpaid (or all. ,
But (he struggle even of youth and strength
against r,.e most* ba itefu! ol’a.l diseases could
not last long The patient’ expired in the
drn;s of his devoted mistress, .and as he
b eatlied his last, bequeathed to her at once
his-dving smile and the foul prison which was
c it sn-g m his veins. Site saw him laid in
jhs narrow grave: and then turned away
! with the convection that she too, was plague
smitten!
She and and not turn to her home : but stood
a few paces from one of the coo pin ons ot
her you h and hade her hear t > her aged pa
rents her blessing and her prayer, this dona
j she fled to the mountains, and sought out a
soliiarv spot wherein to die. N >ne- know
how long she lingered, tor she was never
seen aga in in life ; but her body was-found a
lew days al'tenvaids beneath a ledge of earth,
in a doubled up position, as though the last
spasm'had been a biller one.
She who had sacrificed herself to soothe
the 1 st hours of him whom she loved, perish
ed alone, miserab'v, in the wild solitude of
the Asian hills; and her almost Romm vir
tue has met with no other record than tho
b.iif one in which I have here attempted to
perj)etuate the memory of her devotion and
her fate. —Miss Pardoe.
From the London Sun.
WEoT,V.TNSTEP COURT OF REQUESTS.
It is not always by squalid exterior that
poverty and privation are indicated. A silk
dress as often covers as much real destitution
as the beggar’s rags. Nay, the first has the
most to endure, and is most worthy of pi tv,
for the cadger, if he can secure’as much
broken victuals as will sustain existence, and
obtain the undisturbed possession of a bulk
for bis nightly rest, repines little, if at all, at
his condition, while the “genteel” poor, on
llic-other hand, has not only existence to sup
port, but also station iu society to maintain.
I’he footsteps of famine are occasionally to
| he (blind impressed more indelibly on the
j lineaments of one that may he seen buttoned
up in superfine broad cloth, that upon the
countenances of those to whom misery has
always been an inseparable bed fellow.
A rotund, full priced baker, who brings his
weekly batch of miserable debtors to this
Court—bakers are not, generally speaking,
celebrated lor benevolence, especially Scotch
bakers—stepped into the plainliflf’s box, pa
pers and ledger in band, to make good bis
claim to 255. for biead supplied to a Mr.
John Howard.
- A tall young woman, wearing a handsome
bar mantilla, and evidently careful to exhibit
the ixternals of gentility, presented bersell to
answer the demand. Her age might be either
18 or 23—the hollow cheek and spare form,
p odi.ced by early sorrow or privation, or
both, prevented a closer approximation to
the truth.
A Commissioner.—ls the amount depu
ted.? i
Young Lady.—Certainly not. 11 ave only
to say, on the part of tny father, that tie sin
cerely regrets his inability to settle the ae
count at once.
Ch iirnian,—How will ho pay it ?
Young Lady.—l have ss. ’to offer now,-
and iny lather wishes to have the indulgence
of paying-the rest at half-a crown a week.
CwniiMssioner.-rrTiie hill is for bread, and
•t baa been stand ng for some time. Judging
bom your appearance; I should- think your
father cannot he in such circumstances as to
make it difficu't to procure the few shillings
left nn; ad on this bill.
Young Lady.—Appearances are often
c-eitful. It is equally distressing to my lather
and mvs.lfto ask for even one day; but un
expected sickness in our family has totally
exhausted our little means.
Baker (pocketing the money.)—Twa and
saxpence a week is not enough. Ye gang
abo it toon ivi a gran boa, and a fine sik
dre s, while my wife maun wear a plaid
sbaivl and cotton goon, because the likes o’ ye
will eat an honest m m’s brea 1 wi’oot paying
for’l. That tin’ tippet ye iiae gotten on
maun hae cost, may lie, sax gowden guineas.
‘lt is true, said the young lady, colour
ing, ‘my dress may appear rather extrava
gant, a )d il J could with prudence drtss at
I j ss cost I would do so, blit upon a respecta
ble exterior on my part, as a teacher of music;
depends the subsistence of a sick father and
two young sisters. (The b iker shut bis book
abruptly, and thrust his papers into his
pocket.) As f*r the boa you allude to that
was pledged this morning to raise a few Mini
ngs to pay you the sum you have just re
ceived ; and to provide food for those who
have lasted little else beyond dry biead for
the last week, i lie tippet I have on was
kind y I ‘tit me by my landlady, as the day is
wet and cold.’
‘Well, Mr. Baker,’said t lie Chairman, in
a tore of compassion, ‘ perbtip3 you will agree
t > the young lady’s terms ?’
‘On, aye,’ said the baker, ‘ twa and sax
pence a month. Pit it. down, if you wul.’ ;
v. Chairman.—Two and sixp/nce a week
was offered.
‘ Mak it just what ye like,’ said the baker.
Th’order was made and handed to the
young ladv.
As she was leaving the court the linker
slopped her:
‘Ge me haul o’ that bit of paper,’ said
the Ia ler.
The reqveu was complied with.
•‘ Non,’ said the baker, thrusting some sil
ver into her hand, ‘ tak back yer croon p eee.
and dinna sash vouisel at a’ wi’ the weekly
payment. Ye shall hae a four pund loaf ilka
day at my shop, and ve may pav rne just

rrny he, I’ll no miss it; hut mind, young
l-d.lv/ sad he, angrily, ‘gin ye deal tvi’ onv

Ihe young la Jy looked her gratitude—the
biker had vanished.
