FOR CHILDREN CUTTING THEIR TEETH.
MRS. JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP.
f-PHIS infallible Remedy has preserved hundreds of
_l_ Children when thought past recovery from Convulsions
arising from painful dentition. As stomas the Syrup is rubbed
on the Gums, the Child will be relieved, the Gums cooled, and
the inflammation reduced. It is as :innocent as efficacious,
tending to produce the Teeth with ease; and so pleasant, that
no Child will refuse to let its Gums be rubbed with it. When
Infants are at the age of four months, the S r hould be
rubbed on the Gums; and Parents should e without the
Syrup in the Nursery where there are • ng Children; for if a
Child wakes in the night with pa* in the Gums, the Syrup
immediately gives ease; ther preventing Convulsions, Fe-
vers, &c.—The great succ of this Medicine during the last
Twenty-five Years has i ced unprincipled persons to imitate
it, under the name American Soothing Syrup, and copying
parts of Mrs. Job son's Bills, &c. Parents will, therefore, be
very particular-to ask for JOHNSON'S AMERICAN SOOTH-
ING SYRUP, and to notice that the names-of BARCLAY and
SONS, 95, Farringdon-street, London, (to Whom Mrs. Johnson
has sold the recipe,) are on the Stamp affixed to each Bottle.

TO THE PUBLIC

THE RIVAL PATENT FIRE PROOF SAFES!

Messrs. Harrison and Co., the proprietors of Tann's patent
for this district, feel that the public must have been highly
amused .at the acrimonious balderdash which Messrs. Milner
and Son have been giving to the world, through the medium of
the Liverpool papers. The low scurrility which marks all the
announcements that'have proceeded from them shows unmis-
takably bow galled Messrs. Milner and Son are at the produc-
tion of a:cheaper, better, and more universally admired article
then their own, for the protection of books and other 'valuable
documents against the possibility of injury by fire. People do
not usually forget all the controversial courtesies of life Without
a strong motive, and every one is enabled to see at a glance
that the movement in the present case is one of the strongest
that can influence weak-minded, and not very clear-beaded
persons—namely, jealousy. The superior qualities of Tann's
Fire-proof Safes .are driving Messrs. Milner's out of the mar-
ket ; and the decisive experiment which took place two months
ago in the Islington market—the use of which was kindly
granted by the corporation, and at which the mayor and a large
number of intelligent and scientific gentle en were present—
gave the finishing stroke to that deliriu rage and impotence
under which Messrs. Milner and Son ve ever since laboured.
Messrs. Harrison and Co. bar deem it necessary to call
attention to the coarse adverti nent which Messrs. Milner
are now inserting in the publ* prints. In that advertisement
the invention of Messrs. ' nn, of London, is designated as
" an impudent, reckle d unwarrantable infringement of
Milner's patent." N ,:the first thing that strikes every sen-
sible man, in readir hisdeaunciation of afar superior article,
is this—" why, if ere beinfringement, don't Messrs. Milner
put it down ? by not appeal to the lave, which provides a
remedy 7 Why threaten to proceed in Chancery against the
buyer or user of Tann's Safes, and leave the manufacturers, the
agents, and the vendors unscathed ?"
This is the question to which Messrs. Milner have never yet
replied. They have been repeatedly dared to commence pro-
ceedings ; they have always shrunk from the challenge. This
attempt to frighten the timid purchaser of a better article is
hl now becoming. stale; people see through it. As far back as

BIRTH OF A CHILD OF NATURE.—T was born in na-
ture's wide domain! The trees were all that sheltered
my infant limbs—the blue heavens all that covered me.
I am one of Nature's children, I have always admired
her ; she shall be my glory ; her features—her robes, and
the wreath about her brow—the seasons—her stately
,oaks, and the evergreen—her hair—ringlets over the
earth, all contribute to my enduring love of her ; and
wherever I see her, emotions of pleasure roll in my breast,
and swell and burst like waves on the shores of the ocean,
in prayer and praise to Him who has placed me in her
hand. It is thought great to be born in palaces, sur-
rounded with wealth—but to be born in nature's wide
domain is greater still ! I was born sometime in the fall
of 1818, near the mouth of the river Trent, called in our
language,.bah-ge-dah-we-ge-wah-noong, while my father
and mother were attending the annual distribution of the
presents from the government to the Indians. I was the
third of our family ; a brother and sister being older, both
of whom died. My brother' died without the knowledge
of the Saviour, but my sister experienced the power of
the loving grace of God. One brother, and two step-
brothers are still alive. I remember the tall trees and the
dark woods—the swamp just by, where the little wren
sang so melodiously after the going down o' the sun in
the west—the current of the broad river Trenk—the skip-
ping of the fish, and the noise of the rapids a little above.
It was here I first saw the light; a little fallen down
shelter, made of evergreens, and a few dead embers, the
remains of the last tire that shed its genial warmth around,
were all that marked the spot. When I last visited it,
nothing but fur poles stuck in the ground, and they were
leaning on account of decay. Is this dear spot, wade
green by the tears of memory, any less enticing and hal-
lowed than the palaces where princes are born ? I would
much more glory in this birth-place, with the broad
canopy of heaven above me, and the giant arms of the
forest trees for my shelter, than to be born in palaces of
marble, studded with pillars of gold. Nature will be fla-
tly° still, while palaee° shall decay and fall in ruins. Yes,
