Multiarous as are the forms in which
our brethren of the press are wont to press
upon the minds of their subscribers, the
propriety of early payments, that one thing
ncedtul to the efficiency of newspaper.
The following, from the Boston PHO, strikes
us as being worthy of place among the
most ingenious of such illusions:
"a person being dangerously sick, was
visited by a clergyman, who seeing the
poor fellow give way to dependency,
kindly inquired if any heinous sin lay heav-
lily on his heart. The sick man replied with

sin, but its magnitude was so great that he
was almost ashamed TO name it, The cler-
gyman asked him if he had been an unklnd

A rcacherous friend? No; but | have

STATE OF VERMONT.
a PROCLAMATION BY sILAs Il. JENIsoN,
Acting Governor.

Hctmg Governor.
ALL nature speaks the existence OF q GoD
before whom it is fitting and proper, OF
all suitable occasions, to humble ourselves
for sin and transgressioil, to acknowledge
our dependence upon his goodness fol
protection and favor, and earnestly to
supplicate a continuance of his aid and
support. This is the language of inspra-
ton it is the conviction ofevery rational
intelligent mind:
IN obedience, therefore, TO the long es-
sablished and commendabIe usage of our
forefathers, of setting apart by appointment
Of the civil government, one day in each
year, at the commencement of the labols OF
the season, that the whole community may
join ia the performance of this service, so
grateful to every Christian and pious heart,
do hereby appoint UedneSdaNhe thirteenth
day of .4prH merit, to be observed as day
of Fasting AND PRAYER throughout this
State. 1t is recommended that all vain
amusements and unnecessary labor be sus-
pended on that day, and that ministers and
people, of every religious denomination,
assemble at their respective places of public
worship, and with unfeigned repentance in
their hearts for sin and transgression of
Gods holy law, and in humble confidence
in the efficacy of the atoning sacrifice and
ineXhaustibe grace ofthe SAVIOUR, implorc
forgiveness.
And while we repent and gricve for our
own sins, let us pray to ALMIGHTY GoD for
his blessing upon our civil institutions that
our beloved country may be preserved from
every threatened danger; that patriotism
and virtue may not be sacrificed to intrigue
and corruption that all in authority, in
our national and state governments, may
be under the especial guidance of DIVINE
Providence, that they may be led to the
adoption of such measures as will restore
confidence and harmony among the citizens
of the different sections of our country,
secure the happiness of the people and ell
sure the transmission, unimpaired, to future
generations, of the civil and religious free
dom left us us legacy by our fathers.
Let us pray for the people of this State,
that they may be blessed and prospered in
all their lawful and proper pursuits--that
the great interests of education may be pro-
noted, and its influence on society made
to be more deeply felt and appreciated :
that we may be saved from the evils of war,
of division and of pestilence and finally,
let us pray that the benign influence of the
pure and peaceful religion of the GOSPEL
may spread from heart TO heart and from
land TO land, until all infideiity, idolatry and
superstition shall be exterminated from the
whole earth.
Given under my hand, at Shoreham, this
eleventh day of March, in the year of
our LORD, one thousand eight hundred
and thirty-six, and ofthe independence
Of the United States, the sixtieth.

The unparalleled success which has attend

cord, in which places he has had several thou
sand patients under his care, (more, probably.
than any other practitioner in the civilized
world in the same tme.) will be sufficient
guaranty of the confidence of the intelligent
citizens OF Vermont. Those who are acquaint-

from personal knowledge, need no commend

such, Gas says the venerable DR.. BENZ. Water

Medica in the University of Cambridge il is
the anchor Of hope-the most invaluable Of
earthly blessings" But with those who have
never had an opportunity Of witnessing its
health preserving and restoring influences, it
is the part of common sense and discretion,
canddly 10 examine its claims, and not as
has too often been the case condemn the Bo.
tanic Physician unseen and unheard.
Doct. Thompson, although he is unwilling
TO assume and defend the malpractice which
has charac terised some Of the pretended
Thompsonian practitioners, seeks not to hide
himself from public scrutiny, but solcits free
and fair discussion, and fair comparison of
the Botanic with the Mineral practice. This
course he has always desired, and has repeat
eddy, in his former communications to the
public, challenged the regular physicians TO
comparison of the merits of their respective
systems. He who candidly engages in the
investigation Of the sysem,will find its theory
OF disease simple, yet supported by sound
reasoning -its practice based upon, and in
accordance with that theory simple yet effect.
