AS natal bones were giv'n;
And the fair form of happiness,
Which hover'd round, intent to bless,
Scard by the phantoms of distress,

 OF the various diseases to which the human family V are subject, is so nsidious, so dangerous and destructive, the consumption. The bills of mortality published in the newspapers exhibit the mel anchoy fact that the proportion odeaths by this dis ease may be considered about five fo one.

And the reason is obvIous-sO they find themselves in danger, they have ts their remedv which is always at hand and which 1t IS in their power to procure without expense As it is difficult for physi- cans, much more for common people, to judge ofthe symptoms which threaten this disease, 1t may be prop CT to give an account of them in detail.

THE TARIFF.

On Tuesday, May Is, the Tariff Bill, with some tri- fling amendments, received third reading in the Senate, and passed that body, by of 26 to 2.- The act is to take effect in September next. As we have before observed, we know but little, if any thing. of the merits or defects of the B lift will afford ample protection to the wool grower we'll as the manufacturer, think it very unfortunate that the law does not go into operation immediately. AL ready has our country been flooded with British man. ufactures, in anticipation of new Tariff, and our banks almost drained of specie to pay for them and
 in the nterm between the passage ofthe Bill and the first of September, when the additional duties to be imposed, imporationsto still greater amount will internationally be made, and still greater drain of specie, and pressure upon the banks will consequent ly ensue. We hope this Bill is which will en- sure that encouragement American Industry, which the welfare of the country imperously demands-that if IS really such intelligent representatives of the peoples will should make without any regard to the Presidential controversy Whether it is such an one admits of doubt During the whole of its Drogress through the House, 1t was accompanied, hand in hand, by political criminatons and party vr Nence: it may have passed the ordeal without being contaminated by this unhappy association but those more deepy versed upon the subject and more lmme- dateIy interested in its provisions, than ourself, are only capable of deciding this question.
