THACKERAY'S MOTHER.—Mrs. Carmichael Smyth
(the mother of the late Mr. Thackeray) recently
deceased, married, first of all, Richmond Thackeray, the
great humorist's father, who died at Calcutta in 1815, when
his son, William Makepeace, was just four years old. Mr
Theodore Taylor, in speaking of the youthful Thackeray,
remarks that " the son, after remaining in India for some
time with his widowed mother, finally. bade adieu for eveer
to that country, and was brought to England in 1817. 1.1115
mother, who had married Major Carmichael Smyth, still
survives, a lady of more than 80 years of age, whose vigor:
ous health and cheerful spirits are proverbial in her son 'e
family." Since the decease of her son, however, Mrs
Smyth has not enjoyed her former robust health. His lose
is said to have been a blow from which her failing age
would not allow her to recover. She had been complaining
all the summer, and as the winter cold came on it was
plain to her family that her strength was rapidly leaving
her.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Pills. Dyspepsia'
Hysterics.—These distressir g maladies often defied the
best devised means to allevate them till Holloway's pr
ing and corrective pills were discovered. They have hitherto
proved themselves equal to cope with the worst cases by re-
vivifying the blood. Those admirable pills at once remove
the palpitation of the heart and sickness at the stomach,
frequently so oppressive to the dyspeptic and nervous. They
operate on the liver, stimulate the kidneys, and establish
regular action through the bowels. This medicine all e 1
nervous irritation, spasmodic pains, and violent men
emotions ; in fact, they reinstate order and regularity which
are departing or have surrendered to disease; they resto!:e
.
nervous power to any debilitated part, and overcome all ee
straction to perfect action.
