the times that were past. | knew not
where the bodies reposed Of those who
had gone away from the busy scenes in
which we once mingled together-but

in that solemn enclosure some in short,

The congregation had gathered, and

The young man, he said, looked upor

thought death was afar off, but it was g
deiusive fancy; dream baseless as the
visions of night, which fit across the
sleepiess mind. Death, he said, is equal

should die then, and be entombed in one
burial place--and asked what kind of ;
grave yard they would make? just sucf
one as that you see without these

HNllE high reputation that ANDERsoN's

DERS have gained for Coughs and other affections
of the breast and lungs leading to Consumption,

mending them to the Public. as no stronger proof
of their possessing uncommon virtues could be
given than will be found by reading the Cerlif-
Gates accompanying each bottle, given by those of
the first responsibility, who have used them in
cases of long standing; and some of them, where
their physicians had given them up as past recov-
cry, have been entirely restored by the use of
this Medicine. The fact that they have now
been in use six years, and that the demand the
present season has been much greater than at any
former period, is also strong argument in their
favour Thousands have shortened their days.

"THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS Is ESSENTIAL
TO THE SECURITY OF FREEDOM
Massachusetts spy and Worcester advertiser. [volume] ([Worcester, Mass.]) 1823-1825, 1825-03-02

Marriage, says Jeremy Taylor, is a
school and exercise of virtue. Here is
the proper scene of piety and patience,
Of the duty OF parents and the charity
Of relatives; here kindness is spread "a
broad, and love is united and made firm
as centre marriage is the nursery of
heaven. The virgin sends prayers to
God, but she carries but one soul TO
him ; but the state of marriage fills up
the numbers of the elect, and hath in it
the labor of love, and the dellcacies OF
friendship, the blessing of society, and
the union of hands and hearts; il
hath in it less of beauty, but more Of
safety, than the single life; it hath more
care, but less danger; it is more merry,
and more sad is fuller of sorrows, and
fuller of JOYS; ii lies under more bur-
dens, but is supported by all the strengths
of love and charity, and those burdens
are delightful. Marriage is the mother
of the world, and preserves Kingdoms,
and fills cities, and churches, and heaven
itself.-Celibate, like the fly in the heart
of an apple, dwells in perpetual sweet
ness, but sits alone, and is confined and
dies in Nsingularity; but marriage, like
the useful bee, builds house and gath
ers sweetness from every flower, and
labours and unites into societies aud re-
publics, and sends out colonies, and feeds
the world with deIicacies, and obeys
their king, and keeps order, and exer-
cises many virtues, and promotes the in
terest of mankind, and is that state of
good things, to which God hath designed
the present constitution of the world.
We hate some persons because we do
not know them ; and we will not know
them because we hate them. Those
friendships that succeed to such diversions
are usually finn, for those qualities must
be sterling that could not only gain our
hearts, butconquer our prejudices. But
the misfortune is, that we carry these
prejudices into things far more serious
than our friendship. Thus, there are
truths which some men despise. because
they have not examined, and which they
will not examine, because they despise.
There is one single instance on record,
where this kind Of prejudice was over
come by a miracle but the age of mir
acles is past, while that of prejudice
remains.

1t has become fashionable of late to

Every one who wishes to be thought "a

Now, ] have no disposition to check the

that the authors should receive none of

merely because those generations could

bic Tor US TO do something?
1t is generally known, believe, tina,
there is fund (and an increasing fund
'oo) provided for the education of chill
dren in Illinois, by the appropriation OF
part OF the proceeds of United States
lands sold within the state. The amour,

lows that every district which DELAYS its
organization loses, for the time, all tho
advantages of the fund, and must bear
its own burden.
One OF the measures necessary, is, to
assess tax on the taxable inhabitants o.
the district. This can only be done by "a
majority OF the persons to be taxed.
Taxes are always unpopular-and ye,
without them we cannot live in a social

under consideration, we mus, either
suffer our children to grow up in pro-

education. Under this law no man can
be required to pay more than ten dollars

to pay more than five. At present, with

must pay ten dollars year for each child

THE GOLDEN NAIL.

Ihurnls Serus, a man of infinite whim
and madness, was the author of some
works which sufficiently prove that his
natural temper was not much to be relied
on. The story of his golden nail is curl
Gus. Having worked away his fortune in
alchymy, and finding his schemes in vain,
he had mind at once to get into the
service of certain prince, and TO estab
lish a character of himself to all the
world, as if possessed of the alche mical
secret. To this purpose he declared,
that be had found out liquor which
would Immediately convert all metals
plunged into it into gold. The prince,
the nobility Of the place, and all the lite
rati were invited to see the experiment
and the chemist having prepared large
nail, the half Of which was iron, and the
other half gold, we'll joined together,
coated over the gold part with thin
crust of iron, which he Joined so nicely
to the rest Of the iron, that no eye could
discover the fallacy. Having this ready,
be placed the liquor on the table, which
was no other than common aqua .fortiS.-
Then sending to the shop for some nails
of the same kind, he, by an easy kind Of
legerdemain, when he had desired the
company to examine them and see that
they were real nails, took out his own,
and after turning it half way into the Ii
quor, Kissing and bubbling noise arose,
and the aqua FORTS Immediately dissolv-
ed, and washed off the iron coat, and the
gold appeared. The nail was handed
round to the whole company, and finally
delivered to the prince, in whose cabinet
it now remains. The gold maker was de.
sired to dip more nails, and other things,
but he immedi ately threw away the liquor
telling them they had seen enough. He
was made happy for the rest of bis life
but all the entreaties in the world could
never get him to make any more gold

THE ITALIAN GIRL TO HER FAITHLESS'
LOVER.
Thou sadst, that thou
Wouldst love me, and for ever ;-and my heart.
Unconscious, dreamt not that eer must part.
Where art thou now
weep alone
Cherries and desolate. My heart no more
Wakes those sweet echoes that it woke before,
For thou art gone.
Thou saidst that when
The battles rage over, and the cry
Of carnage hushed, and murders rout gone by,
Thou'dst come again.
And | believed!
| could have breathed my dying prayer tor thee,
Nor murmured at my fate 81 thus to be
BY thee deceived
IT'S well-'tis well,
These charms once loved are passing fast away
This tongue, it cannot curse-but only say
Farewell-tarewell!
But yet-should e'er
Thy footsteps stray to where this form is laid
Then think of her whose fond heart thou st betrayd
Give me one tear
