RECOMMENDATION

RECONMENDATION
From Rec. DR.. Woods, of .4ndOcer. 10 Dr..
Lore.
DEAR sIR-An examination of your Second
Class Book has fully satisfied me, that, in re-
gard both to subjects and authors, the selec-
ton is made with judgment and taste. Tho
book is, in my opinion, suited, in an eminent
degree, to aid the youth in our Schools and
Academies in acquiring the art of reading.
and at the same time to give them much
pleasing and valuable information. Nor can
it fail to excite in them an ardent zeal 10 en-
large their acquaintance with the various and
very interesting subjects, to which their at
tention will here be directed, and which thew
ought thoroughly to understand.-I am graft.
ted also to see the paper and the printing 50
good--a circumstance of more importance
than is commonly supposed, to the usefulness
Of every School Book.
May you be abundantly prospcred in this
attempt of yours to promote the welfare Of
the rising generation.
Yours respectfully,
l.. WOODS.

PURIFIED
Pyroligneous Acid.


ID perfect substitute for the common pro-
cess Of smoking Meat. Very numerous ex-
perments have established the fact. that the
flavor Of Meat, prepared in this manner, is
fully equal, ii not superior, to that given in
the common mode of smoking. For safety,
convenience, economy, cleanliness, and des-
patch, this mode possesses advantages over
the common one.
There are two modes in which this Acid is
used, with perhaps equal success. One IS.
to mix i; with the Pickle which is put to the
Meat, in the proportion of one quart to $50
or 200 pounds of Meat. II is not material
whether this be done when the Meat is first
sailed or not. 1t should De suffered to remain
three or four weeks, and then be taken out
and hung up in any convenient place to dry.
The other mode is, simply to battle over a
piece OF Meat with the Acid once, twice,
three or four times, according to its size In
either mode, the quantity of Acid necessary
will be about the same.
The proportion of one quart to 200 rounds
of Meat, will be found enough TO suit the
taste OF some--others will be better pleased
with more.
A constant supply, wholesale and retail,
may be had OF the Subscribers, who are ap-
pointed Agents by the Manufacturer, for the
sale of this article. A liberal discount made
TO those who purchase to sell again.

ANECDOTES.

Sheridan, in his life of Swift, relates the
following anecdutc -
Once when he was in the country, he re
celved intelligence that there was to be a
beggar's wedding in the neighbourhood-
He resolved not to miss the opportunity of
seeing so culuusa ceremony; and that he
might enjoy the whole completely, propos-
ed to DR.. Sheridan that he should go thithcr,
disguised as blind fiddler, and he would at
tend him as his man to lead him. Thus ac-
coutcred, they reached the scene of action,
where the blind fiddler was received with
joyful shouts.-They had plenty of meat and
drink, and piled the fidler and his man with
more than WAS agreeable to them. Never
was more joyous wedding seen. They
sung, they danced, told their stories, crack
ed jokes &c. in vein of humour more en-
tertalning to their two guests, than they
probably would have found in any other
meeting on the like occasion. When they
were about to depart, they pulled out their
leather pouches, and rewarded the fiddler

We are every day hearing Of some new
effort of surgical skill-what would once
have been considered miracle, is now an
.iiair of every day occurrence. We have
often heard it remarked by foreigners, ltal-
ians in particular, that our physicians were
far inferior to those of Europe, and our sur
geons as far superior. The following ac-
count from the "Reading Chronicle of the
Times" will certainly set the last part Of
the assertion in creditablc light
Z. $. Ga.ette.
"Surgicai Oheration-On the first of this
month we witnessed, in common with sew
eral other spectators, at Mr.. Abraham Le
vans tavern, in this borough, an operation
for blindness, with a result so brilliant, and
in a case so interesting, that we Cannot deny
ourselves the pleasure of laying il before our
readers. The subject was boy aged a
bout years, from a remote part OF this
county, and a son of respectable farmer.
From the chld's mother who was present
we learned, that at the age Of or month,
when children usually begin to direct their
hanG to different objects, it was first obstr-
we'd that the bov was blind. Believing the
case ncurable, his parents were resigned t.
his fate. A few weeks ago, however, :.
medical gentleman, who has lately settled
in the neighbourhood, pronounced the case
CongeaHai CQtaract, and advised the par
cntS of the child to place him under the care
of DR.. Isaac Hester, Of Reading, who, he
told them, had repeatedly operated in Sim
liar cases with success. They did 50, and
were not disappointed. When we saw
the patient, the Doctor had already com
plettly succeeded in imparting vision to one
of the eyes, on which he had operated days
before. The effect of the operation We wit
nessed, like that of the other eye. as related
by the mother, was like ench ,1ment. To
see a fellow being excluded from the wcyld
as it were, Dy a state Of total blindness, sud
denly brought to life, to the enjoyment Of
vision, by sAilful direction of the human
hand, was spectacle truly delightful
1t was interesting to observe, when the
bandagc was removed, on the third day az
ter the operation, the readiness with which
the little fellow distinguished objects and
colours, and his ignorance, at the same time,
Of their names which he had, Of course yet
to learn. The only object he recognized Of
many that were presented to him, was pair
of scissors, whose name he recollccted, it

! The path Of life, in the prospect, appears
smooth and level enough, but when we
come 10 travel il, we find il all up hill, and
GENERALLY rough enough. The journey Is
laborious one, and whether poor or
wealthy, high or low, We shall find It 90,
10 our disappointment, If we have bullt on
any other calculation. TO endure wnat
is TO be endured with as much cheerful
ness as possible--and 10 elbow our way as
easily as we can through the great crowd,
hoping for little, yet striving Tor much, Is
perhaps the true plan. But
Don't be discouraged, if occasionally you
slip down by the way, and your neIghbors
tread over YOU little; in other words, don't
let a failure or two dishearten you-acci-
dents happen; miscalculations will some
times be made; things will often turn out
differently from our expectations, and we
may be sutiercrs.-lt is worth while 10 re-
member that fortune is like the skies IN A
pril, sometimes clouded, and sometimes
clear and favorable, and as it would De fol-
ly to despair of again seeing the 5un, be-
cause to-day is stormy, so 1t Is unwise TO
sink into dependency, when fortune frowns,
since, in the common course Of things she
may be surely expected to smile again And
again
Don't be discouraged if you are deceived
in the people Of the world, it often happens
that men wear borrowed characters, as
well as borrowed clothes, and sometimes
those who have long stood fair before the
world, arc very rotten at the core. From
sources such as these you may be most un-
expectedly deceived /; and you will natural
ly feel sore under such deceptions; but TO
these you must become used you fare as
most people do, they will lose their novelty
before you grow grey, and you will learn
to trust men cautiously, and examine their
characters closely, before you allow them
great opportunities to injure you.
Don't be discouraged under any circum-
stances. Go steadily forward. Rather
consult your own conscience, than the o.
pinions Of men, though the last is not to be
disregarded. BE Industrious; be frugal ;
be honest; deal imperfect kindness with all,
who come in your way, exercising neigh
borly and obliging spirit in your whole in
tercourse, and if you do not prosper as rap
idly as any of your neighbors, depend up

WHITNEY'S COUGH PILLS.

THESE pills, which are composed most
l. ly ofvegetables, are not inferior TO any
thing yet discovered for coughs, colds,
asthmas and consumptions; and even in the
latter case, where a cure is not to be ex-
pected, they prove an excellent palliative
by expectoration, relieving pain and pro-
ducing sleep.
Numerous certificates Of the virtues of
these pills might easily be procured, but it
is confidently believed they are sufficiently
known to render a recourse to such means
unnecessary, and where they are not known
we are well assured trial of them will be
a more effectual recommendation than a
host of certificates.-Directions for using,

Each box contains forty pills; price fifty
cents.
