“Take Care of Yourself,”
Is the kind expression often sent after us when
we have given a friend the parting hand. It was
never one which we admired. It has less mournful
ly pleasing sadness than “that word which makes
us linger, farewell;” less filled with deep heart mov
ing pathos than “that good old word, good-bye.” It
is ofienest spoken gaily, with a smile or a laugh, and
comrs not from the heart; or if it does, it is a-heart
where joy, not sadness But carelessly as it
ma 3 r be spoken, meaninglessly as it may bo intended,
that expression contains some sound advice, which
vve should all carefully consider. Every man must
take care of himself. For though he must depend
ultimately upon a Being higher and more powerful
than himself, yet it is a fact which can not be too
often, or too strcnously enforced, that Providence
assists only those who assist themselves. There are
many classes of persons who do not take care of
themselves. We have known persons who lived and
died, and who lived to an old age without any care
M thcnis.-t es. Their bark was set adrift on life’s
ocean, ar .ioated on without pilot, helm, or rudder,
to direct its course.
I here is a young woman, whose pale checks and
brilliant eyes proclaim her the victim of disease.
Sickness has stolen the sweet smile from her lips
and the. dark veil of melancholy resignation hangs
over her brow. Once sht was beautiful, lovely and
happy. The warm blood of life bounded healthfully
through her veins, and the light of hope ami joy im
parted to her countenance a perpetual beauty. But
Gas! she became a votary of fashion, and all thoughts
of prudence or comfort were cast away. ‘Her deli
cate frame was oppressed with stays, the. chill win
try wind sent its breath through her gauzy drapery,
while through rain, ice, and snow, she ploded her way
with benumbed slippered feet. Death marks her
for his own, and no human hand can arre t his
progress. Soon the young flowers of Spring will
Woom over her grave; and she whoso beauty might
have charmed, whose virtue might have benefited
mankind, will he lost forever to earth, because she
did not take care of herself.
Many a young man has a kind, noble father, a
patient, doting mother, who center upon him their
fondest hopes. All the power which precept and ex
ample can exert, they employ, to win him to obey
wisdom’s voice, and follow in the footsteps of virtue.
With a good heart, a tractable disposition, he bids
fair to become all that his fond parents could desire.
Eit the evil day of temptation comes. lie forms a
companionship with the idle, dissolute and worthless.
They set before him the illusive glass of pleasure, in
whichhe beholds her arrayed in ten thousand beauti
ful but deceptive forms. They tempt him to indulge in
vices, the names of which he never before heard,
and the bare mention of which makes him shudder
to his inmost soul. But soon he listens with pa
tience, then wavers, then—fells. His course then
t ads rapidly downward, to drunkness, ruin, and
death. His heart-broken parents lament the blight
of their fond hopes; all good men sigh over the
wreck of so goodly a vessel, which seemed destined
for some better port; the angels themselves might
shed a tear over such a fall; but at his own door lies
the charge; he did not taka care of himself.
We pass late at night along the lonely deserted
street of a city. A low, deep, holiowmoan of suffer
ing strikes upon our ear. Searching by the dim gas
light, we find a human form lying in the mire and
tilth of pollution, in whose bloodshot eyes and bloat
ed cheeks we are unable to trace a single lineament
of the Creator’s image. Was he always thus? Ah,
no. He once possessed health, innocence and hap
piness. Talents were his, and wealth, and he might
have arisen to positions of power and eminence. But
in an hour of innocent hilarity, he took “just one
glass of wine,” and this is the end to which it has
brought him. lie has fallen from his high estate,
and now wallows in the street a degraded sot, far
r worse than the miserable mendicant who begs his
morsel of bread from door to door; and all this is be
cause he did not take care of himself.
Y oung man “take care of yourself.” It is no idle
or foolish advice. Close your ears to the syren voice
of pleasure, as she would lull you into inactivity, or
draw you to the precipice of ruin. Take not the Cir
ccan cup, though offered by the fair band of the idol
of your hearts affections. Mark out your course,
and swerve not from it to indulge in the unhallowed
joys of dissipation. Determine to rlo what is right,
noble, and good. This is the way to “take care of
yourself.”
“To thine ownself be true;
And it mus-t follow, as the night the day
Thou canst then be false to any man."’ *
Flattery.
•‘Who flatters is, of all mankind the lowest,
Sav lie who courts the flatterer.”
Fiatt may become one of the most degrading
-ices ii which man can indulge. It is never a vir*
tue: yet it may present itself in forms ol far less
<• iminality than in others. Were we to examine our
every-day conversation, and the common civilities of
social life, vre would be surprised to find how large a
portion of them flattery forms. Almost every hour,
we hear greetings and compliments exchanged which
could not bear the test of truth. Men, who behind
each other’s backs arc malignant foes, meet with a
smile, and exchange, with an appearance of friend
ship, the common courtesies of politeness. True,
tWsse are mere meaningless expressions, made with
out sincerity, and not intended to be believed. But
it creates in those who use them, more or less, a spir
it of hypocritical sycophancy, and thus they them
selves become the recipients of all the injury which
it produces. The principle which gives rise to flat
tery, is one which naturally tends to degrade man,
to blunt his moral sensibilities and destroy the finer
feelings of the soul.
Were flattery confined to this, the evil it produces
’ would be small indeed. But it often has a more pos
itive character, and exerts a more deleterious influ
ence. Unprincipled and designing men have not
infrequently made it an instrument by which to
obtain the objects of ambition, and in this manner it
has been productive of the most serious calamities
to the world. By it men have been induced to pur
sue courses of conduct fatal to themselves and to al[
with whom they were connected. If has been the
.rise unfos innately that men in exalted positions arc
much more subject to the effects of flattery than oth
er persons. By its influence, men have been over
oorim, and plungad into irretrievable ruin, whom the
most horrid forms of danger, the most dreadful
shocks of misfortune ;ould not move. Thus has the
fate of empires been controlled by the whining syco
phant, who can “bend the pregnant hinges of the
knee, that thrift may follow fawning.”
All persons like flattery, whatever protestations
thcjfctndy make to the contrary. There are the few
est number of persons who do not entertain a high
er_ppinion of themselves than an impartial criticism
of their parts would warrant, ami it is ever a source
of pleasure to have this opinion confirmed by others.
People laugh at the folly of a vain King, whom flat
tery induced to trust himself to the surging waves;
yet we almost doily see instances of folly equally
blind, produced by the same cause. This fondness
for flattery arises undoubtedly from a misconception
of its nature. Persons are too apt to take it as a
mark of kindness and good will in those from whom
it comes, without considering that it may proceed
from motives entirely the reverse. Flattery is in
compatible with sincere friendship. It raises up a
barrier and prevents that free communion of soul
which should ever exist between true friends. Flat
ter a man, and you pass a reflection upon his under
standing and judg .ent; such a reflection as would
be an insuit to any man who properly considers its
bearing. Every sensible man should have a due es
timate of his own merits, and an attempt to propi
tiate his favor by imputing to him excellencies which
he does not possess should be visited with his unre
served condemnation. Flattery has caused this to
be called a cold, hollow world; and were it universal
ly adopted among men, troth, sincerity, nay, virtue
itself would be driven from the face of the earth.

Oxygenated Bitters.

Ogdensburg, Dec., 1, 1851. Gentlemen—l had
been much afflicted, for the greater part of the year
ending las. midsummer, with a singular derange
ment of the bowels, connected with occasional at
tacks of Dyspepsia. During the last summer, I ac
cidentally took up a paper, containing testimonials
respecting your Oxygenated Bitters. In one instance,
vheie rchef had followed their use, l found mv own
symptoms and condition so accurately described
that it determined me upon trying them. I accord
ingly procured, and have used several bottles; and
find in renovated strength and health, satisfactory
evidence, that in my case, they have accomplished
all that I could wish.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

Brooklyn, Conn., June 15,1854.—Friend Davis:
Although a stranger t > you, I take the liberty of ad
dressing a few lines to you, for the purpose of saying
a few words in favor of your invaluable medicine. I
have used your Pain Killer for a number of years, for
bowel complaint and burns, and in fact for pains of
all kinds, T think it pre-eminent I have had sever
al attacks of dysentery, one very violent. I was at
tacked at three o’clock in the morning, and at sun
rise I was not able to gut off my bed, I sent and got
a twenty-five cent bottle of your Pain Killer, which
I commenced taking according to directions, and at
6 o’clock in the evening my bowels were regular,
and I was up and moving about, although somewhat
weak. I would recommend all similarly afflicted to
avail themselves of your invaluable medicine. $s

A Tribute of Respect to. the Memory of
Mrs. E. W. Gibson.
“Brag Lit}., v-.rs, pale flower.-, o’er the bier to shed,
A v-n for the brow of the early dead!
For i _ through its leaves has the white rose burst.
For t in tue woods was the violet nurs’d;
Though lucy smile in vein for what once was burs,
They a*e few's ’last gift— bring flowers, pale flow
ers.”
No longer ago than the 23d of October last, she
whoso name now a sits a place in an obituary column,
stood amidst a happy wedding group, in all the love
liness of maidenly beauty, arrayed in bright bridal
robes, to make her solemn nuptial vows. Alas 1 for
mortal life; in seven short months, there, I "in that
same room, she lay pale in death, shrouded, and cof
fined for the grave. Hearts then that beat with joy,
now bleed with grief. Faces then that smiled on each
other with beams of delight, now reflected sorrow
for sorrow. From husband and parents, waiting
started wailing, and sigh sadly responded to sigh.—
The powers ol association suggested the presence of
death on every object she had possessed—even the
flowers her hands had cultivated seemed to droop
like willows. But 1 must more briefly mention the
usual particulars of an obituary notice. Mrs. Eliza
beth W. Gibson, consort of Thomas Gib-on, (son of
Hon. 0. C. Gibson, of Pike county,) and daughter of
John and Elizabeth Veazcy, in her 19th year, died
of measles, on the 2d instant, at her father’s res
idence, in Warren county, Ga. It is the testimony
of her sorely bereaved parent®, that fur mildness of
temper and kindness of disposition, from her infancy
to her death, she was an uncommon child. They
nave no recollection, that at home, or abroad at
school, or else where, she ever gave thern.a moment’s
trouble on account of any rude or unbecoming con
duct. At an early age she was religiously inclined,
which increased, until in her 1 Gth year, she united
with the Baptist church at Long Creek, of which she
rrmained an orderly and a pious member during life
—never enjoying herself better, than when in the
house of God, singing the songs of Zion. On the
night previous to htr death, her youthful and sorrow
stricken husband told her she was dying, and asked
if she was reconciled to meet death. Her answer
was, she regretted to leave him and her parents; but
when made sensible of her speedy dissolution, she
embraced him in her arms, saying, “meet me in hea
ven.” At another time, she told him not to weep for
her, but to meet her in heaven. To the family, ser
vants and all, in a truly Christian manner, she gave
her dying exhortation ; and at the same time, con
vincing her physicians that they hud never before
witnessed a death so triumphant. Glorious Chris
tianity! what a solace in life: what a support in
death.
“Youth and the opening rose
May look like things too glorious for decay,
And smile at thee—but tnou art not of those
That wait the ripened bloom to so ze their prey.
Leaves have their time (o fail,
And flowers to wither at the north winds’ blast,
And stars to set—but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own ph, Death.”

put himself in the hands of the doctors, but they did
him no good, in fact, he became worse, until his .suf

and ho almost sunk under them; fortunately for him
he commenced using Holloway’s Pills, which acted
upon the system, cleansed the bowels; cleared the

thoroughly restored him to health! He has ever
