CAL T lON To PARENTS.There are Other Syrups selling for the we of children while teething. which are generally prepared with Syrup of Poppies, or Orient], or some Om slow poison. These make chil. dren, it is floe, quiet for a little while, and drowsy, and as if it did tin good (though they are inwardly convulsed); but mothers and curses slu:uld no, be deceived by any of them. S..cti is not the case with the Deioition Syrup, which is prepared front a ptescriptiun of the ;ate celebrated Dr. J. H Myers, who paviiculaily recommended it furl children. LAO, several ;mums have declined, since they have used the Dentition Syrup for their children while t ething, that their teeth cane throu g h so easy, that neitl.er the mother nor nurse knew it; while, before they lad recourse to it, not a tooth came through without con- vulsive fits. lii fact, mothers will not do their duty, or have ptoper feelings to raids their dear Lades, if they do not purchase a bottle of, the Dentition Syrup fot a trial, as it also prevents the agony that in fants stiffer while teething. It is warranted of so innocent a nature, that it may with safety be, given to all infants ; and is so pleasant that no child will reject it ; and the proprietor will not only be obliged, but will thank all who have the care of children, to show a bottle to their physician or medical latent., dant, that parents may be convinced of its efficacy and its innocency, and that it is the most valuable medicine CV= discovered foe 1...Li0n while teething. The following case hone out of hundreds, which will convince mot thus that ihey should have the DENTITION SYRUP always in the nursery, where children are :_3lr. Hankee, No. 103.

Mr. Hanktc has declared, that as soon as lie took it home, and had his child's gums rubbed with it, and gave it a little to drink, according to the directions, from that moment it began to recover, and has been re. peated whenever the child was cross: he is now a fine boy, and his fa ttier has often declared that he really believes the Dentition Syrup has saved his child's life.

CONGREVE'S GOLDEN BALM," TUX MST COMPANION YOU TUE NUMMI, 11 or TUN UTMOST imrooromcr TO CHILDREN CUTTING THEIR TEETH. PHIS remedy possesses superior udvautages to all others, in counteracting the dreadful effects arising from painful den tition. It is a well known fact that many thousand chiluren are car ried off annually, at this important crisis, in fits and convulsions.— No antidote hitherto introduced for alleviating the distressing paroxysms endured by the tender infant, at this period, can boast of equal merit. It cools and comforts the gems; assuages the most violent anguish consequent on their inflammation ; and its demulceut properties to soften and render elastic these acute parts as generally to produce the teeth in their regular order with incredible ease and ra pidity, without constipating the bowels and exciting other baneful ef fects; by which the necessity of lancing the gums, so pregnant with dangerous results, is entirely superseded. The fond mother, sympa. thizing with her tender offspring in its writhing agonies, will be lost in astonishment at the value of this discovery. It is introduced at the lowest price by the Proprietor, from the pure intention of rendering a universal benefit to this class of sufferers, who ever claim out warm est sympathy. me turioarals Letter will r ove it is • The Mother's Boat Companion for the Nursery.'

Sin—ln hopes that all parents will try the same remedy, 1 have thought it my duty to inform you that your Golden Balm has wrought the greatest woutier in my Child, aged 7 tnouths, in taking one bottle only. I cannot describe the agony she endured from her gums before its use. Night after night she deprived me of rest by constant crying, and nothing seemed to give her a moment'e ease, and I was often afraid she would expire in convulsion fits. Her gums were very bard, and much swelled and inflamed. She had wasted away to a mere shadow. But, Sir, only judge of my astonishment ! A few drops rubbed on her gums gave her immediate ease. I applied it two or three times a day always with the same effect ; her bowels, which were very costive, be came regulated ; and I :hank God the child is fast recovering its flesh, and strength. She has since cut two teeth with considerable ease. In writing this I perform a duty I owe to you and the public. Your humble servant, Witness, Sarah Harford. MARY CARTER.

" Yon will deliver this to his Excellency the Field Marshal, and wait for the answer." "But. General —" " I have served twenty years, and never tittered a but. No reason ing ; I shall wait here." It was necessary to obey. The fact was, that the General wanted a little sleep—and no wonder ; for he had never closed an eye since we left Petcr.hurgh. We had travelled at the rate of sixteen miles an hour over Lithuanian and Polish roads, so celebrated for their smoothness. It may be. too, that he was not desirous of obtruding himself in the way of the balls and bullets. It matters not. The right of the Poles again showed their colours. and pushed forward. Their sharpshooters were seen conning out like locusts. While the General was yet speak ing, the fusilade began in good earnest ; and from the thickets, the hollows, and the ditches alongside of the public:roads, the balls came whistling to our hearts' content. At short intervals a brace of bright gleams flashed out, softly shaded with smoke, and down tumbled half a dozen metal cape, never to rise again ; while the glorious bass thun dered after like the requiem defunctorutz. This portentous music continued. For mv part, my road was not difficult to find; I had merely to follow the roar of the cannon with my fifty cuirassiers through the thickest of the dead and dying, and on through the centre. It was already broken, and the affair over on this side : towards the extreme left, however, on the road to Warsaw, four regiments of infantry were still maintaining their ground. " NVltere is he ?" demanded I for the second time of a dragoon major, who sat bending forwards on his saddle, his feet firm,iu the stirrups, and his band grasping the mane of the horse. He ease no answer, but dropped gently to the ground. The man was dead. Bravo ! Here we are in the midst of a whole regiment of guard. cossacks coming up at full gallop, and taking us along with them as the whirlwind does a feather—where ? Heaven knows. I hope not before the Polish squares. " Ztupay Comradi !" (Forward l Comrades !) cried a voice from amidst a cloud of smoke. I knew it well. " Now or never !" thought I, and wheeling to the right, we dashed straight through the guard cossacks, accompanied by millions of curses, and at least a dozen of good byes from their pistols. I was in the presence of the Field Marshal. " Ztupay ! Comradi !" exclaimed he. " Your Exftllency ! despatches from Mother's Majesty." " &tipsy ! Comradi ! No time to read despatches ; glory to our Mother and God. St. Nicolas is great! Suwarrow fears not the :" and kissing an image of his favourite saint which hung from his neck, he crossed himself wirka grimace, gave his horse the spar, a , 41 galloped towards the Poles. We followed. The square stood without flineltiag. %Vl:never a man dropped, the very staff officers picked up his musket, and lamed into the gap—rut, poor fellows ! i. was a desperate game. " Ztupay ! Comradi !" cried the shrill voice of the Field-Marshal once more. shriller than ever, and the guard-cossacks set on with a tremendous hurrah! The square is broken. Good night, Poland !" " Courier !" " Your Excellency." Ills Excellency turned round towards me, and looked for a moment into my face. " Bravo! Comrado—not afraid of powder P Suwarrow fears not the rebels." I had seen that plainly enough, for he had killed three Poles with his own hand; and he now coolly drew his bloody sword along the palm, which he wiped on the sleeves of his uniform. " Your name ?" demanded he. " Captain Count D—.y." " Who has sent you ?" " General Count 11.—n ?" " Who sent General It--n ?" " Mother's Majesty." " Poh ! General 11----n don't like to smell powder. Ileh? Suwarrow fears not the rebels. Heh ? Swaty Nicolas before Suwar. ruw, Suwstrow behind Swaty Nicolas, and behind Suwarrow his con.. rades. Good night, enemies !" He broke open the autograph letter of the empress, ran orer Its contents, tore off a piece of the paper, and stretching out his hand for a pencil which the adjutant held in cattiness, be wrote a few lines on the pummel of his saddle. " You return to Moth tr," said he looking up, " not General R." " But your Excellency ?—" " Who dares debate with Field Marshal Suwarrow ?—what living man ?" His RxceUency's face assumed a certain blood-red hue, which I had heard spoken of as an ominous sign ; and I retreated a few steps. The tempest, however, passed away, and he calmly handed the scrap to the adjutant. " Stay, Captain D—y," said he ; " you like powder ; you go, not General R." I touched my hat, received from the aid.de-camp the scrap enveloped and sealed, galloped across the battle-field towards the burning Mace ! jowice, showed my General the letter, told him the orders, and took Imy seat in his place after having handed him out of his own carriage, leaving him under the agreeable necessity of providing himself with another. " And you hare left our good Suwarrow before Maeejowice," said the Empress ? " The centre of the rebels was forced, and the right wing rolling up. On the left, four regiments still held out, of which I saw one broken. The battle was decided when I quitted the field...." 4. You are again the bearer of our despatches, Colonel." Three weeks had done more for me than the preceeding three years. I was a Colonel at twenty years of age. I started for Poland, the bearer of the august will of her Majesty. " Make haste, good 0— —y," admonished the august Mother ; and I did make haste. It was exactly six days since I had left St. Peters burgh, and already the Vanua as, nouns we. I VMS within fifty wrests of Warsaw. " All is quiet, milosti officer, since yesterday morning," whispered the black-eyed Jewess, pointing down towards the banks of the Vistula, and handing me a tumbler with got:elks, the only beverage I had tasted since leaving Wilna. My eye was fixed on a regiment of Cossacks, who came trotting up the hullow, laden as if they had plundered a whole country. " What news ?" " Praga taken," said the dirty Hettuan pointing signikantly to his throat. " We must on to Doloy ; woe to the rebels!" Praga taken! mused I, with an involuntary shudder; but it saves ten werets of my journey. The morning was cold, the ground frozen, the vaults of heaven calm and blue. But away far over the borders of the Vistula hovered a wreath of thick heavy mist. Mist ? It was the smoke arising from a chaotic mass, from which now and then a pale flame darted upwards. That mass was Praga !—the great fauxbourg of Warsaw, as the geographers say ; what it really was, however, it would have been difficult to tell; for Suwarrow had passed through it ! The mad was strewn with' broken ammunition carriages, wheels, cannons, dead and dying homes, in picturesque disorder. The muskets and balls and dead soldiers were untouchtd even by the Jews. I passed a score of the latter dangling from the door-posts of their brethren, the tavern-keepers, to serve as scarce-crows against further appropriations of imperial property. This must have been something like a battle, thought I. The 'midge over the—what is its name ?—us broken down; but they have laid the beams over the frown bodies of men and hones, which now serve instead of arches. There now Praga should begin ; but where is it ? I can see nothing of Saphiehaa, nothing of Vladimir street. It looks as though all had been blown into the air. Fragments of walls, 'blaek.burnt stones, intermbegled with thousands of carcasses of*niso and boost roasted into hideous ness; and not a living being to be seen ! The sound of my Stepan ktes trumpet re-echoed fearfully lo the empty hollow ! Our very horses seemed troubled. Their manes bristled up, their ears and limbs trembled as if tertor.stricken, and they gazed upon the objects at their feet shrinking and shinning. Here begins something like a street, if a Street it may be called. Thv houses doorless, window Wm, nay roofless; the way, are choked up with the inhabitants : none living. Aye, truly, Fuscarrow ! thou art a glo rious fellow t right willing to dtstroy more in one day than United Poland has raised in a thousand years. There at last again life is seal : it i • a picket of Cossacks ststior-r1 on the Vistula bridge. Even they arc first! : fee they have quitted the backs to lie under the bellies of t h eir horses. Here we mu., crow, and let us moss hastily, for a spectacle is before us us which should not be dwelt upon. The wearied Cossacks are still on duty : they are guarding shout two thousand prisonets men, women, and children - lying., sitting, and standing, on the Sigismund- pla ce ; weto halt naked, some wholly naked, some wounded. others starving, and all freezing to death. My escort halted. " Here his Excellency keeps head-quarters," said the corporal. I looked up—not a window was untr oken in the what • palace of the Diet. I alighted and entered • I cannot say through 'let gate, for there was none. The fore-hall, the court-yard, the staircase, were filled with officers of all grads., and colours. Before the doorless antichamber stood another group of officers, of Cossacks of the Don, awl the Ukraine, and uhlans and dragoons, grenadiers and cuirassiers, sleeping on straw. A large straputs in the next room, had the homier of being occupied by the adjutants, and some general and staff officers, and in the adjoining cabinet his Excelltncy was seen stretched on his bed of straw covered with a bearskin. The adjutant-general went to announce me. " Come in," cried the Field-Marshal. I entered the room. It had ntither door nor windows, but a broken china stove, the pieces of which lay scattered upon the floor, with rub bish and straw. •• Prom Mother ?" cited the Field. Marshal, leaping from his bear skin, donning his hat, and girding on his sword. •• Her Majesty has commanded me"—. " Ab !•Captain D—y, am I right ?" " Colonel, by the grace of her Majesty:' •• Mother hits &marrow. Suwarrow fears no cold, no Poles, M t ater will be intisfitd—.ltWed a good many—Cossacks have bad a good day of R. Bravo, Colonel, you are going back again, Mother wain* you immediately. We shall not detain you." Suwarrow shivered a little, for he had no uniform on. His counte nance was blood-red, with black streaks, and his eyes blood-shot. He scented rather embarrassed, and having waved his hand, turned me abruptly out of the room. He looked like a murderer. " His Excellency will not expect me to depart immediately," said I to the adjutant-general, Count CI--y. • Indeed, Colonel Count D—y, you must depart immediately. The despatches are ready and sealed. ' 1 haszei.ed down through the hetmans and colonels, captains, cos. sacks, end dragoons, wishing them with their leader at the devil. "Stepanku turn round ! We all trotted towards the bridge, Alt ! Og—y's palace ! What a delightful ball there was here three years ago ! And now ? The pro vost-general and his myrmidons, with their hanging apparatus, are making their rounds. The great executioner stops before the house, looks and listens. He enters, and so must I, though his Excellency were at my heels. The provost applies his ear to the wall. The whole house is worse than wute. Every thing broken, torn, every where desolation and filthiness—Russian filthiness. What is that ? A spectre-like figure, gliding behind one of the columns of the entrance ball, into a side passage, seised by his long beard, as we are descending from the upper apartments. " Ouiai ! " whistled the pale, death-like Hebrew, with a breath too feeble to blow out a candle. " 'load officer, lam innocent ! " " We shall sec—" One of the executioners dragged him along the marble pavement, and se descended. " Perhaps, roma, I may he of some use as a guide, for I know tbe house—l am Colon.

PETER JONES, THE CONVERTED INDIAN.—From letter lately received from New York, dated Feb. 23, 1831 it appears that Peter Jones, a converted Chippeway who has for some time been engaged as a missionary among his own tribes,was expected there to embark for this country to be present at the approaching religious anniversaries. Our correspondent adds, It is likely an Indian boy will accom pany him.' A communication from this valuable native Missionary is now before us, which we received by the same packet ; it is dated Nov. 22, 1830, and written from the river Credit Mission, in Upper Canada. The following are ex tracts: " Here are now about 1,000 of the Chippeway In diana in the Methodist Society, and about 200 Mohawks. All these have thrown away the use of the frewaters (rum), which has ruined and destroyed many of our forefathers. Re ligion has made us all over new. The mission schools among our people are prospering pretty well, and many of our In dian children can now read and write in English. The work of conversion among our native brethren is extending back to the North and West of its. Two of our Indian speakers, John Sunday and John Paul, made a tour to Mackinaw last sum mer, and preached to the Indians in that quarter with great success, and several of the wild Indians commenced praying to the LORD, and threw away all their heathen gods. I re joice to see the account given in religious newspapers of what the LORD is doing for the nationcof the earth—not only what he is doing for the white people, but also what he is doing for the Indians in the Eastern world, the islanders of the seas, and in the wilds of America. The Gospel, it appears, is dying in every direction, producing the most happy and salutary effects among the children of men. Who knows what the LORD designs in the great changes that are taking place over the great waters? Do not you think that the big man, called Pope, will have to come down very low, and his power for ever buried in the earth ? May Goy grant that the true religion of Jesus may be established all over the world. Sly brother, John Jones, and myself, are now engaged in trans lating part of the New Testament into the Chippeway lan guage, which our converted brethren want very much. 1 1 13 y for me, that the LORD may make me useful t o m y peop l e , and at last go up to hr:iveu. , '—Christiati Adrocate. 13110PRIETORS of SCHOOLS and PRIVATE TEACHERS are respectfully informed that one of the most complete CATALOGUES of SCHOOL BOOKS that has appeared.
