The Colton Circular, which we published some days ago, has been republished in Balli inore. Philadelphia and New-York. We shall to-morrow make extracts from the papers of those cities in relation to that movement. On Sunday evening wc had one o( the heaviest rains we ever witnessed, accompanied with al most incessant thunder and lightning. The house of Mr. S. S, Brown, in the upper part of the city, was struck by lightning, and a negro girl, sitting on the floor inside, against the wall, near the fire-place, was killed. Her death was instantaneous; she dropped her head upon her breast, and it was not known that she was in jured until an attempt was made to arouse her. Mrs. Brown ami her children were sitting near her at the time—some of the children within two or three feet of her, hut none of them were in jured. We copy the article below, from the Tuscaloo sa Independent Monitor, showing up the crooked ways of the Alabama Democracy. Wo invoke our readers to look through it. Judge McKinly, who has recently become so perfectly democratic astodccidc that the U. S, Bank had no right to collect its debts out of the State of Pennsylvania, was the author of the exquisite resolutions below, urging in the most earnest tones upon Congress to charter a National Bank with a capital of On r, Huniihkii Miu.ions of Dollars ! This gentle man and his worthy cn-adjutors are now furious and raving against Mr. Clay because he sugges ted the propriety of establishing a hank of (illy millions ; only half (heamount which they them selves proposed in 1832 ! Then it was republi canism to go for a Bank atone, hundred millions —now' it is Federalism to propose one of fifty ! Then, a National Bank was ihe idol oftheir hearts ami the hope of the land ; now, it is “ A MONSTER of such frightful mien,” that the Democrats of Alabama are thrown into spasms and convulsions at the very mention of its name! Oh the dear, dear! Democracy of Alabama! What would become of it if Congress should charier a National Bank of DIO millions capital, Upon the plan proposed in its own resolu tions in 1832. Whither would Alabama Demo cracy fly to escape the devouring jaws of its own hideous progeny ? Or would it make battle, its own hand in deadly strife uplifted, against its own-begotten, grisly “juinstkii ?” What a grand and awful spectacle ! Alabama Democra cy, with crest uprenred, furious and charging, rushing to battle against the Bank, its own first horn of .lacksouism, like Satan at the gates of Hell warring against Death, “his own fair son,” “ The dear pledge Os dalliance had with sin in Heaven.” Tearful encounter! direful struggle ! We trem ble for Democracy— “ Each at the head Bevels his deadly aim ; their fatal hands No second stroke intend.” I But hold! let the “ moxstkii” son of Democ racy show itself-—that now seems to its progeni- t irs ns “ grim and terrible” as the child of,Satan. | Ih'tmliosofthe Democracy in V!nh;nii!i— 1 Dank fneoasistencics—Judge JlcHiiiiv. * Mr. Payne, ,Vr. M e present our readers, below, with a most * f extraordinary document, which owes its pater- * nity to the democratic parly in the Alabama Legislature, in the years 1831-’32. it exhibits plainly and clearly the gathering inconsistencies ' of tlie prt 111 democracy. Let the people read ' it. and judge for themselves. Mr. McKinly, the deader of the democratic parly in the House, pro- 1 sauted the memorial. Viler noticing some oh- 1 jeelions to the Bank as it then existed, the me- 1 morial went on as follows: ” V our memorialists beg leave to recommend to the consideration of Congress, the establish ment of a Bank ol the 1 nited Stales, upon the I 'bowing principles, subject to such alterations as may he suggested by the wisdom of Congress. “Ist. A Bank of the United Slates shall he established with a capital of nu tit Miur.n mii i.ionk of dollars, sky i.vrv millions of which shall belong to the United Stales, and tuiuty millions to individual stockholders. “2d. The surplus revenue of the I nited States shall, after the payment of the public debt, the expenses of the government, and utter a proper reduction and modification "I the tarill duties, he set apart anuuallv until the sum ot seventy millions of dollars he raised. “3|, The principal hank shall he located at Washington city, or such other place us Con gress in iv d’recl ; and there shall he appointed by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, a President and eight directors of said Bank ; and the other stockholders shall appoint lour direc tors. ‘•4lh. There shall he located in each Stale, with the consent id the Legislature thereof, a branch or branches of said hank ; and one half of the capital furnished by the United Stales sh ill belong to and become vested ir such Slate -the other h ilf belong to the United Stales,and t lie remainder to the individual stockholders. “9th. Each State consenting to receive a branch o<- branches of the Bank, shall he en titled to stock In proportion to its representation | in Congress, which shall he equalised on every apportionment of representation. “6th. The President, and four directors of each branch hunk, shall he appointed h\ the Pre sident of the I nited Slates, by and with the ad vice and consent of the Senate; four directors shall he appoint! I by the State, where such branch may be located, in such manner us its Legislature may direct and the remaining four •hall he appointed hv the other stockholders. “7lh. The Pr-'si lent and director* of the prin cipal hank and the several branches, shall, under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasure, transact such portion of the fiscal concerns of the government, as may he directed by law. “Bth. Ihe Pi. dent and directors of each branch hank shall cause to he made out annually, a report shewing the true condition of the branch hank under their m magement, one copy of which shill h- tr.ms lilted ti the President of the prin cipal bank, and one to be laid before the stock holders. And the president and directors of the pr.uc.ipal hank shall cause a report to be made ; out annually, shewing the true condition t>f tlie lianl. and .ill it* brunches, and transmitted tn the secretary of the tr i-ury, liy him In he laid hefo e j Cong'css. ‘“.nh. The bank and each of its branches shall Ire hound lo lend In the Unit’d Slide*, when excr required by Congress, ut leant fifty per cent of the amount of the rnpitul, respectively. \ "lOtb. The notes of the principal bank, and of each branch, shell bn received in payment ol all dues to the lulled Slates, any of the States, lo the principal bank or any of its branches. “11 lb. The rate of interest to be charged by | the bank and its branches, shall never exceed live j per cent per annum. " 1 —lh. Should the principal bank be located I in a Stale, it shall have no more capital than the quota of that State: if located at Washington, it may have such amount of capital as Congress may give it; hut the one hall of the profits arising from the stock furnished by the United States, shall lie divided among the several States, according lo the representation—after allowing to the District of Columbia 25 per cent thereof. “ I dill. At least two thirds of the profits of the hank, ue ruing to each State, ahull he applied by its (legislature, to leading objects of internal im provements and education. “Retained, That the Governor he requested to ranstnit a copy of the foregoing memorial to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and that he he also requested to trans mit it copy to the Governor of each Stale, with a request that he will lay it before the Legislature thereof.” This is the exact copy of the recommendatory part of the memorial. It was advocated through out by MeKinly and the leading democrats— and it passed the House of Representatives by a vole of 40 to 2d. The democrats of the present day, although they then advocated a hank of such enormous capital, are now horror stricken ut the idea ofartrci muinv hank. They strain the muscles of their faces, expand their lingers, and make all sorts of contortions, when they speak of a hank ; yet we see what were their opinions seven years ago on the hunk question. Let ns examine this subject a little more. The following gentlemen voted for McKinly’s memorial: “Acklin, Augustus, Boyd, Campbell, Craig, Dillelt, Mrwin of Mobile, Faulk, Farrar, Funtaiu, ( toyne, Hall of A. Hall of 15. Hays, Johnson Kil patrick, McAfee, McCullum, MeKinly, McKea, McVny, Mollet, Norwood, Oliver of C. Payne, Rather, Kiddle, Saunders of L. Shearer, Snedi cor, Stephens, Swink, Rente, Philpot, Tarrant, Terrell, 'l'ou/min, Watkins and Wilkinson.” Os these, only n few are now known to us—or who are before the public. We will rcferonly to those who arc, or have been somewhat conspicu ous. mik/t, the present whig candidate in the Mo bile district, stands consistent with his vole on that memorial. I lull of Augusta, and Hull of Baldwin are both democrats now, and anti-hunk men ; so much for their consistency. • Os Hays, Johnson, Kilpatrick and McAfee— we know nothing. The next named gentleman, McCollum, is now a whig candidate for the Legislature iu Fayette —tluiHyou see his consistency. The next name is that of the conspicuous au thor o( the memorial—the then hank man—the now famous democratic judge of the United •'■'lutes Circuit Court—and one of the lights of i the party So much for his consistency. , Me licit, wo do not know ; hut the next we do know— 1 Me IV/?/, the ex-Govcrnor—the then one him- ' tired million hank man—and the nolo anti-bank— \ suli-lroastiry democrat. Mollet is dead. Os Norwood, we cannot ‘ spe ik. 1 Oliver was the opponent offiov. Uaghy. He t was a consistent hank man to the end of his life. And now we come to the name of lln Payne —the boastful leader of the Sunder county democracy. This individual makes it a point to rave at Henry Clay and his fifty million i hank—holding it up lo the people as a terrible monster, that will most undoubtedly ruin the country; and yet, in 18)52, we see him standing by the side of Judge MeKinly,and memorializing Congress—in opposition to the recommendation in the message of his excellency, the pro, lent. governor of the State—for a bank with the enor mous capital of 100 millions of dollars I Put thy face under a blanket. Mr. Payne, for it will burn any more combustible material. How can you expect thus to deceive the people ! How can any party expect to sustain themselves in the face ol these glaring inconsistencies 1 Os the other names in the list of votes above given, we know only three —there are two ol them citizens of our county —Mr. Fontaine and Mr. Terrell—both, wo believe, still bank men. The other name, is that ol the respectable and consistent whig senator from Greene county, Mr. Kiddle. Tims, it is clearly shown, that the conspicuous men of this list who arc note anti-hank men, have changed their colors—and the conspicuous men of this list who are U '/Tips', arc now what they were then —consistent supporters of a national bank, We entreat the people not to let these things pass. They surely deserve notice. It is plain that the leading democrats in Alabama at the present time, were hank men in 18152. Jackson was a hank man in 1832—this we have shown, on a former occasion, from his messages. But Jackson changed—and of course his menials fol lowed him. Look only at the instances of Mc- Kinley, McVay. Payne, and Toulmin, the pre sent anti-bank democratic senator for Mobile. They are all men conspicuous for their stations. Do we not see them, in 1832, memorializing Congress for a bank of one hundred millions ! And yet, not withstanding all this, they claim to he consistent opponents of a national hank ! More Slander ami Abuse ! Since the Stale and People of South Carolina have dared to diller from the Telescope, and its little, reslh ss. dictatorial faction, that paper seems to have a peculiar relish for anything slanderous or abusive of them. Not satisfied with its own hitler and slanderous tirades, or deterred, even 1 by the disgust and indignation excited by its | publication and applause of the infamous letters ol ".t Friend lo ■''.‘ate Kiyhls," its last number contains the following, copied from a paper which joined it in the circulation of those slanderous letters —the Augusta Chronich cud Sentinel; "The annexe I taunt, Item the Augusta Chroni cle, is bitter. Wc copy it, because it may not 1 be unwholesome to see what is said of us hx oth- I its. Many, who are too proud lo confess, will | ft! it, and possibly take a lesson for the time to i come. •• While on the subject of toasts, perhaps we ; had as wa ll give our neighbors of Carolina a he.i mg. If they don't cheer as loud and as long 1 as we do in Georgia, it is not because they don’t I j entertain a good opinion of themselves. 8. South Carolina—The Flag Ship of the | i South; with John C. Calhoun lor her pilot, she j • can brave the loudest and the longest tempest.— [1 3 cheers.' Toast m MJgtTield. j This is ail a mistake—she xx is once a flag I shin, but she has been razeed. Site is nothing ■ now hut a "low black schooner with rakish • masts." ami doubtful character. She has lately i been taken into the service of Government to do ; a small coasting business until after the Presi dential election in isio. We said she was once I a (lag ship;—so she was. but her pilot after a long cruize, being too anxious t > run her sudden ly into port for Ids own benefit, attempted to bring her in through the Sub-Treasury pass. and. she immediately foundered in shallow water.— s 1 The injury she received by this act of rashness, wa- o great as to render it necessary lo cut her e down, which was done accordingly. It i-r sup posed that in a short time she will he placed un- I tier command of Commodore Benton, and em - ployed in making gold “flow up the Mississippi t i river.” A “taunt” it is, indeed!—and “copied, bn -1 j cause it may not he unwholesome to sec what is if said of us by others !” And thus, it is “whole i. some” to encourage and circulate a slander among the opponents of the slandered, that the laller y | may “sec what is said of them !”—“by others” — i' what others ]— Its own Hank and Clay men— j they who, like itself, look an interest in circula- I ling the thriec-deteslablc, false, and infamous e : slanders of “ A Friend to State Rights," and have dsserled, and attempted to obliterate, the I ancient land-marks of their faith and parly ! * • they who, like itself, have held up our State and I people, as the vilest and most pusillanimous cow . j unis, poltroons, and apostates, in the very contest ! in which they were joined with them ! And now, . when (hey again assail them, and set forth the • State as a political pirate, anil its people as fallen, degenerate, and degraded, it is “wholesome” for them “to sec what is” thus “said of them by others!”—expected that they should reverence I such authority, listen with profound respect and i submission to its dictates, aril cower and tremble before its opinion, or “hitter” “taunt!” •South Carolina, a political pirate, degenerate, and of “doubtful character”! It is, of course, easy to say this, but we defy titherlhe Telescope, or its “worthy brother,” to sustain it, by facts, or argument. When were her people so united among themselves, or more respected abroad 1 — more untrammelled by party, or free from the partisan schemes and struggles of the times 1— or more hold, independent, and influential, in the Federal Councils] But, “ Let Hercules, himself, do what he may, The Cat will mew, the Vo g will have Ids day.” We transfer the above to our columns, from the South Carolinian, for the purpose of showing the capacity which some people possessor making themselves “most magnanimous fools.” Wo copy it entire, including the jcu d'esprit ol our own some time since, which seems to have been the cause of so much uneasiness, in order to let sensible people sec how infinite that capacity call become, in producing that result from the small est mailers. It may he that in this instance, as in ninny others, “the truth of the joke is its keen est edge.” The Editor of the Carolinian would feign make the people of South Carolina believe that their characters were slandered and abused, and that he himself is their only champion ; but if we are not mistaken in ourestiinnle of their cow man sense, the groat mass of that people, w U he much more disgusted with his asisinc stupidi ty in imagining them to be such fools, than of fended with our raillery at their politics. “Slan der anil abuse” indeed ! The politicians of South Carolina are as fair game as those of any other State, and we feel no more scruple about shooting at them, than at any other gang of black-hirds. — But wo feel perfectly indifferent ns to what con struction the politicians of that State may place ! upon our article, or in what light it may lie view ed by their petulant pet at Columbia. Ifas a joke, we are content that it may pass as a hit or other wise; if as a “taunt,” whether “bitter” or not, and in that light they rather seem to think that it /« bitter; or as u serious charge of political tergiversation and abandonment of principles,— We take the liberty of saying what wc please about Georgia politicians, and can Ke no reason why we should exercise any greater degree of tenderness to those over the river. Wo abuse the characters of neither, as men, hut us politi cians wo have a right to censure or applaud as we think they deserve, and us we think, so shall we speak. If South Carolina politicians choose to puli' themselves into imaginary importance by claiming her to he the “flag-ship of the South,” it is certainly no “slander or abuse” in us of Geor gia to deny it. flic slander is from the other side, if there be any, in assigning to other States a position inferior to and controlled by her. Per haps the allusion to Benton and the flow of gold | up the Mississippi, was rather unpalatenblc.— We cannot help it—Carolina is now in a position to justify the belief that she will as readily sup port Benton for the Presidency us she does his hard money humbuggery—one is about ns bad ns the other, and i stomach that willingly receives one, will not be very apt to revolt at the other. Hut why pursue this matter further] The Edi tor of the Carolinian only wanted a little stimu lant; he lives upon political excitement, like a ehamclion does upon atmospheric air, and we see no good reason why our squibs should not ntford him food mid nourishment, if he chooses to appro priate them in that way. When ho feels gaunt and famished, if he will make us a sign, we will send him over a little more provender. But those “ ‘infamous letters of ‘A Friend to Shite Rights,'" will certainly mu the Carolinian crazy! We must hunt them up and reperuse them. They certainly must contain a great many severe and cutting truths, or they would not rankle and fester so long in the flesh of their victims. Perhaps we may republish thaiu ! Can the Carolinian stand the operation] In conclusion we will merely add the remarks of the Edgefield Advertiser in relation to the same article from our paper, which was also re-puhlish led in that paper. They arc in the proper feeling, i and treat our remarks pretty much as they were j intended. “It is said to he good for a man to know the j opinion of his neighbors about him.—The follow j mg is the opinion of a contemporary, just over the Savannah river, about South Carolina. Though j it is untavorable, it is expressed in a humorous j manner.” 1 lie Illinois people calculate on an augments ! lion of no less than 40,000 souls to their popula ton this year.

The ; newspapers in Canada and the lower provinces | have discovered, to their consternation, that the : Geologist of the United States, has been appoint i cd by the British government, to settle the Bonn j dan Question. The fact seems to he. that Mr. Fealherslonhaugh, who has recently made a geological survey for our government in the Western States, and returned to England last winter, has received the appointment of geolo gist to the commission about to tie organized for a new survey of the boundary. The New Bruns wick papers seem to look upon this as conclusive evidence that the American claim is to he allowed without any trouble.—„Y. York Express. Fortification or British North Amrr u a. — The Brockville Statesman stales that among ollfer active preparations which are now making U) place every part of British North America in the ample state of defence, are the following: Bermuda is to he strongly fortified, permanent barracks are to be built at Lapraire with stone towers to defend them. Martello lowers are to he erected at Montreal. Fort Wellington at i’rescott is to completed, Fighting island is to be fortified, and Government has purchased sev eral pieces of land in various parts of the sub urbs of Kingston, with a view of commencing public vvu,l.s, for its defence, on a very large scale. From all this the editor of the Montreal Herald sagely concludes that the Uritish ministry are makinir preparations on a great scale, for a war with the United States. A Caution.— The Richmond Whigcontains the following raulion from James M. Garnett, Esq. to his “fellow sufferers in the Moms Mulli caulis speculation.” Writing under date of the 16th inst„ Mr. Garnett says; “If it be not too late, I will caution all such against digging up those parts of their grounds wherein they have supposed their cuttings to he dead. This caution I take the liberty to offer, because, so late as yesterday, while some of my negroes were hoeing the plants already growing, I found my cuttings just putting out both roots and buds —although, to judge by the surface of the land, all wete dead that did not appear above ground.” Canada Matters.—The Montreal Herald congratulates the inhabitants of the two Canadas tMi the improbability of any invasions, for a good wtliile to come from this side, utdess in the event of .1 National war, of which the Herald is still in 'hopes. As the ground for this belief, it is is sta ted that Sir John Colborne has been instructed in case of future invasions, to pursue and punish the outlaws wh srever he can catch them. These instructions it is stated have been communicated to our Government by Mr. Fox. The Herald slates that these instructions have been acted on in some cases, hut does not mention the instan ces. The Yankee Magistrates, it seems, issue warrants for the arrest of the troops when they cross over in pursuit of the outlaws. The American Flag was hoisted at Toronto on the 4th, hut was soon hauled down. Go thou and no likewise.—The Cincin nati Gazelle of'Tuesday, contains the following letter, received at that office on the day previous, accompanying it with a request for “all delin quent subscribers, whether to a Whig or Loco Foco paper, to carefully read, digest, and follow the example sot by the writer.” ‘•Bloomington, Fay. Co., 0., July 4, 1839. Messrs. L’Hommediku & Co, Gentlemen:— On the Ist of this present month, lam indebted to you for six years’ sub scription to the Gazette. It is a considerable de linquency ; hut until the present I have not been in circumstances to pay you—and yet was not willing to slop a papet so useful to myself and my family. I recollect to have seen in your paper, some years since, an editorial remark respecting a sub scriber, who had remitted to you as many years in advance, as he had been years delinquent, which you seemed to say, (if I understood you) 1 was about right. Please to inform me, if a re mittance for twelve years subscription, at the advance price, would be satisfactory to pay my present account, and entitle me to your paper for six years to come. Respectfully your’s.” The following toast was given at a celebration oi the 4th at Canton, Ohio;— “By H. Griswold— The While Howe at Washington —May it no longer be used as a Martin’s Box.” Another Swautwout. —The Rogersville (Tennessee) paper informs us that Gen. Nathan iel Smith, late the Indian Emigrating Agent for the Cherokecs, has fled to Texas, with from 70 to $lOll.OOO of Uncle Sam’s money in his pocket, having first sold off his own property and pock eted the proceeds. Canal from the Great Lakes to the Mi ssissi m.—A canal, to connect the waters of Lake Michigan with the upper Mississippi, was commenced at Milwaukie on the 4lh inst. The distance from Milwaukio to the navigable waters of Rock River, which empties into the Mississip pi, is 40 miles. The canal will bo rigorously prosecuted to a speedy termination. Manufactures in Connecticut.— The re port of the Secretary of State of Connecticut, re lative to manufactures in that State, shows the value of goods manufactured in one year, in the following towns : Norwich $1,150,205 New Haven $455,795 New London 231,738 Manchester 695,500 Plainfield 457,292 Norwalk 434,500 Woodstock 231,900 Middleton .316,600 Winchester 152,900 Bristol 292,725 East Windsor 255,210 Danbury 186,200 'Vo loiyn at the post office, that the number of letters brought by the Great Western, was 9230. These at 25 ceqis each, would pay to the pro prietors of the boat $2,307 50. This on the presumption that all the letters were single; whereas doubtless very many of them were dou ble or treble. On all such letters the charge is in proportion to the number of pieces.— New \ ork Journal of Commerce . A Ghost ! —An apparition has been seen in Canada, according to the Transcript N o body can read the last paragraph, and disbe lieve the account. No wonder the poor man could not lie quietly in his grave, alter dying un annealed of such a sin. Lust Tuesday fortnight, Mrs. ,( a lady of literary taste and rather studious habits,) sal read ing in herdrawing room, the clock on the mantel piece struck twelve; as the last stroke reverbera ted through the apartment, its door was suddenly llung open. In the act of raising her head to reprove the intrusion, (unrung for) of her servant, her eye rested on the form of her late husband ; she screamed and fell senseless on the rarpot. Phis brought up such members of the family as had not yet retired to rest; restoratives were ad ministered, and when Mrs. , had regained possession of her suspended faculties, and being a woman of strong mind and highly cultivated intellect, she felt disposed to consider the whole of the distress she had undergone as the result of certa n associations between the melancholy tale she had been perusing and her late loss* operating on a partially deranged nervous system. She however deemed it advisable that her maid servant should repose in her chamber, lest any return of what she had been determined to con sider a nervous affection should distress herself and alarm the family. Last Tuesday night, feeling stronger and in better spirits than she had enjoyed for several months past, Mrs dispensed with the at tendant, retiring alone to her chamber, and went to bed a little before 10 o’clock. Exactly as the clo k struck 12 o’clock, she was awakened from her sleep, and distinctly beheld the apparition she i lu J l ! I,o,ure seen, advancing from the table (on which stood her lamp) till it stood opposite to, and drew aside the curtains of her bed. A sense ot suffocating oppression deprived her of all power to scream loud. She describes her veryjblood it treating with icy chilliness to her heart from ever)' win. The countenance ol her beloved in life wore not its benevolent aspect; the eyes, once beaming with affection, were now fixed in i stern regard on the trembling half dissolved being, , who in the courage of desperation thus adjure^ ■ —“Charles! my dear Charles! why are you i come?” “Jessie,” slowly and solemnly aspirated i the shadowy form, waving in his hand a small i roll of written paper, “ Jessie, pay my newspaper ■ accounts, and let me rest in pi ace The following song must interest, more or less' all our renders —for, who among them has not heard the mosquito’s buzzing notes I—the words we now furnish for their edification, that they may the better appreciate the vindictive little blood-sucker’s nightly warbling, as he busily c haunts—“ I’ll bile, I’ll bite '.’’—Natchez Cour. The Mosquito’s Song. In the dreamy hour of night I’ll hie, When the hum is hushed of the weary fly, When the lamps are lit and the curtains drawn, And sport on my wings till the morning dawn, In the festive hall, where all is joy, In the chamber hushed where the sleepers lie ; In the garden bowers where the primrose smiles, And the chirping cricket the hour beguiles ; In these I’ll sport through the summer night, And the mortals to vex, 111 bite, I’ll bite. There’s one I view with an evil eye; A flame of pride in his breast I spy, He breathes in a lute with a master’s skill, And listening souls the rich strain fill With the rapturous thrill of melody ; But he carries his head so haughtily, I’ll play him a trick—in his happiest swell, When the lingering thrill with a magic spell, Holds all entranced, I’ll wing my flight, And pop on his nose, I’ll hite, I’ll bite. There’s a poet, I know—in the still midnight He plies the pen by the taper’s light, And weaned ot earth, in a world all his own. With fancy he rambles where flowers arc strewn, Os fadeless hue, and he images there A creation of beauty in the pure still air. With the world around from his sense shut out, He heeds not the buzz of my round about; But when a new image has broke on his sight, Ere he gives it existence, I’ll bite, I’ll bite. And the long-courted vision shall vanish; while I In a snug little corner, shall watch him, so shy, As ho thumps his brow in a burning rage. And dashes his pen o’er the well-fill’d page. I sec a young maid in her chamber napping. And I know that love at her heart is tapping; She dreams of a youth and smiles in bliss, As she pouts out her lips to receive a kiss; But she shall not taste the gentle delight, For I’ll light on her lips, and I’ll bite, I’ll bite.

EVANS’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING * SYRUP,for Children Cutting their Teeth.— This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil dren, when thought past recovery, from convul sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed?, on the gums, the child will recover. The preparation is so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums he rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, though there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are young children j for if a child wakes in thenight with pain in the gums, the Syrup immodiateiy gives ease, by opening the pores and healing the gums; thereby preventing convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Wm. Evans ’ Medical Office, 100 Chatham street, New York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all diseases of children. PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent of Dr. Evans ’ Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir—The great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa rent how essential an early application of such an invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and torture. My infant, when teething, experienced such acute sufferings, that it was attacked with convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that death would soon release the babe from anguish, till we procured a bottle of your Syrup; which as soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change was produced, and after a few applications the child displayed obvious relief, and by continuiug in its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com pletely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful complaint has since occurred; the teeth are ema nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health. I give you my cheerful permission to mako this acknowledgment public, and will gladly give any information on this circumsti nee. WM. JOHNSON.
