CERTIFICATES
I have within the last two years had an op-
portunty of seeing cases of very inveterate ui
GERS, which having resisted previously the re-
gular modes OF treatment were healed BY the
use of Mr. Swaim's Panaces, and I do believe,
from what have seen. that it will prove an i'm
portant remedy IN scrofuous, vernai ano mer-
curial diseases.

PREPARATION FOR ETERNITY

He who cannot find time to consult
his Bible, will find, one day. that he has
time to be sick; he who has no time TO
pray, must find time to die.-He who
can find no time to reflect. is most like
ly to sin: he who cannot find time for
repentance, will find an eternity in
which repentance viii be of no avail.
Let Us, then, under the influence of the
Divine Spirit, seriously reflect under
what law we came into the world! at
is appointed for all men once to die, and
after death the Judgment" Is it not OBJ
vious, then, thatthe design of life is to
prepare for Judgment; and that in pro-
portion as we employ time well, we
make Immortality happy

CCNJUGAL AFFECTION,

1t was highly honorable for Phocon, that he was
forty times elected general of the Athenians and
it is remarkable, that these elections always hap
pened when he was absent, without any previous
solicitations on his part. His wife was sufficiently
sensible how much this was for his glory and one
day, when an Ionan lady of considerable rank, who
lodged in her house, Showed her, with an air of os-
tentation and pleasure, her ornaments of gold, with
a variety of Jewels and bracelets, she answered her
with modest tone, For my part, Iha1,e no oyna-
ment but Phocion, 7Oho for these trventy gears has
been Arrays elected general Of the .4thenia,as.

The Duchess of Burgundy, Princess of the
House of Savoy, (wife to the grandson of Louis
XIV. had her fortune told before her departure
from Italy, whenl was predicted that she would die
at the age OF u. This prediction made, of course,
strong impression on her mind, and consequently
formed the frequent subject of her conversation.
She one day said to her husband, sAs the hour of
my dissolution is now drawing near, and know
you Will not be able to live without Wife as well
on account of your rank your religious principles,
l should be glad to know whom it is your intention
to marry Il hope replied the Duke, that God

There the same white forehead-the sleeping
sye-the cheek that he had kissed SO fondly-the
lips that had spoken such sweet sounds-he gazed
at her corse with intensity of thought. Her living
image was before hinl-he saw her smng--he be-
held her in the graceful motion--now her figure
passed before him beautiful in the may dance
and now he gazed into her full black eyes, and read
unuttcrable things He had ring on his finger,
present from her-he tried to speak-he looked ct
the ring, then at her-agony swelled his heart he
gave one long gaze-and looked no more
He knew not how, but he stood by her grave =
and they were bearing the coffin towards the dark
narrow pit--a heap OF fresh earth piled at it's
side. Some one said, "Wherc arc the cords ?'-
Re heard the answer " Here they are y and then
the coffin gradually let down into the bottom
of the grave-it sat firmly on the ground, and he
heard a voice say, There, that is ri ht-draw up
the rope" Then there was the sound, as if the
der was obeyed-in the act of doing it, few
grains of sand and pebble dropped upon the coffin
then all was still-then handful of soft damp,
heavy clay, was shovelled down. Oh that sound
that solemn, dreary sound of utter desolation 1t
broke the horrd spell that kept his voice silent and
his eye dry-hls lip began to quiver-a sob heaved
his aching breast-arge tears gushed from his eyes
he stretched out his hands in agony of weeping
and--grasped an old quaker gentleman's nose,
inthe stage-coach, where he sleeping, and gave
occasion for Obadiah to observe,
"'Verily friend, when thou hast sufficiently
amused thysef with my nose, perhaps thou wilt
eurn it to its rightful owner"
The whole horrible creation of his fancy passed
away like mist his heart bounded within him.
and he soon took sweet revenge upon those wicked
lips that had been cold and still, yet so beautiful
IN the darkness of his dream.

FILIAL AFFECTION.

Among the incredible number of persons who
were prescribed under the second triumvirate of
Rome, were the celebrated orator Cicero and his
brother Quintus. When the news of the proscrn
ton was brought to them, they endeavored to make
Their escape to Brutus in Macedon. They travel
led together some time, mutually condoling their
bad fortune but AS their departure had been very
precipitate, and they were not furnished with mo-
ney and other necessares for their voyage. it was
agreed that Cicero should make what haste he
could to the seaside to secure their passage.
and Qulntus return home to make more ample
provision But, as in most houses, there were as
many informtrs domestcs bis return was imme.

soldiers and assassins. Quintus concealed himself
