1t is not from the promised joys of the Future
that we can derive our happiness. Anticipation
may robe them IN her gaudiest colors, and array
them in her brightest smiles, yet disappointment
will cast her clouds over them and their bright
hues will fade away like the tints of the rainbow
before the sh adows of evening. Neither can
we enjoy the present. We must turn to the
PAsT IT is kindly Providence, that, while it
seems to bear us swiftly over the ocean of life
watts us unconsciously back by refluent tide
to the scenes of other days, whose
Distance lends enchantment to the view
There is something of tender sadness in the
emotions with which we recall the days that are
passed. The hand Of time seems to have mel
lowed the tints which shadow forth the pictures
of departed scenes, and those incidents, which,
when present, we deem to be trifling, assume a
hallowed character, when beheld through the
vista OF by-gone days. 1t is this feeling which
leads MS to view every circumstance in the his
tory of our forefathers with interest; and when
we shall have passed away, another generation
will arise, to tread in ourfootsteps and look with
a curious eye on the deeds which shall have &C.
cupied and frightened our little span of exist
ence. It is the desire of being immortalzed in

of hopes deceived,
OF faded dreams of bliss

OF Joys vanly had believed,
Were in a world SO dear as this
1t tells us of the time when pleasure "led us cap
tive to the place ofrevelry and mirth," and when
youthful hope, "the music of the mind" turned
to all it's charms. The Past! the Past how
fondly DO we look upon it! How gladly do we
fly from the shades which doubt casts upon the
Future, and the clouds that reality throw around
the Present, to catch one sunny glimpse of the
Past to rest the eye on the bright scenes of
our childhood, and refresh the soul at the Foun-
tain of Recollection Thus the benighed trav-
eller turns back his wistiul glance upon the gm-
merng taper of the distant cottage, and the ship
wrecked mariner bends back his anxious eye up
on the last lingering rays of the setting sun.
How bright are the charms of by-gone days!
how enchanting the images they impress upon
the heart. AS age approaches us recent events
seem to wither in his grasp-tkeir characters are
botted out, like the traces on the beach, by each
returning tide. But the images of other days, be-
come more deeply engraved IN the memory
they seem to grow young, vigorous and vivid, as
we grow old and feeble. Happy, happy illusion!
to reconcile US to the decays of age, that we
might revel amidst the entertainments of youth,
and more than realize their innocence and their
felicity. How potenly do the recollections of
the past, like the enchanted herbs of Medea,
restore to the autum the adolescence of youth
rekindle the extinguished flame of feeIing-make
the feeble heart throb wildly again with the long
abandoned thoughts of its curly ambition, and
the eye glow with unwonted lustre as it calls up
the image of its young idolary How dark and
cherries would be the prospects of life, if the
light of memory were closed upon tie mind; if
we could not constantly look back to catch those
rays of happiness, treasured upon the memory
of youth, to illuminate our pathway in the eve
ming of age! BIB.

ADDRESS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Fellow Citizens:-At time like the present,
when country is literally flooded with nostrums
brought from foreign climes, you may perhaps
think it aot of emerity in us to offer as can
ddaie for your favor and patronage, Medicine
which is strictly AMERICAN, Common sense,
however, teaches u.s. that those hei BIS which spring
spontaneously from native soil must be better
adapted to our constitutions than foreign medicines
however useful the latter may have been in the
countries to which they belong. The climate of the
United States stands unrivalled for the production
OF medicinal plants, and very little investigation
will suffice convince the most skeptioal that our
oson country is able 10 supply all our wants, indie
pendent of foreign assistance.
Deeply impressed with the importance of the a
bove mentioned facts venture to recommend the
INDIAN PURGATIVE to the patronage of our
fellow citizens in every section of the Union,
natural remedy, applicable to constitutions, and
competent to cure every durable disease.
In bringing a medicine before the public for the
first time, it Is generally thought necessary to i'm.

countered in its discovery, the Antiquity of It's

cine must depend on Its own intrinsic merits, and

Lamp Of our feet whose hallowed beam
Deep in our hearts its dwelling hath,
How welcome is the cheering CLEAN,
Thou sheddest Der my lowly path!
Light of our way! whose rays are flung
In mercy DER our pilgrim road.
How blessed, its dark shades among,
The star that guides us to our God?
Our fathers, in the days gone by,
Read thee In dim and secret caves,
Or in the deep wood silently,
Met where thick branches DER them wav
To seek the hope thy record gave,
When thou vert forbidden thing,
And the strong chain and bloody grave
Were all on earth thy love could bring.
Our fathers, in the days gone by,
Read thee while peril DER them hung;
But we, beneath the open sky,
May search thy leaves of truth along,
Fearless, our daily haunts among,
May chaunt the hallow'd lays of old,
Once by the shepherd mnstrels sung,
When lsrael's hills o'erhung his fold.
In the swee; mornings hour of prime,
Thy blessed words our lips engage,
And round our hearths of evening time
Our children spell the holy page,
The waymark throug long distant years,
To guide their wandering footsteps on,
Till thy last lovliest beam appears,
Written on the gray churchyard stone.
Word of the holy and the just!
To leave thee pure, Out fathers bed;
Thou art to us sacred trust,
A relic, of the martyr dead!
Among the vallies where they fell,
The ashes of our fathers sleep!
May we, who round them safely dwell,
Pure as themselves the record keep.
Lamp of our feet! which day by day
Are passing to the quiet tomb,
If on it fall thy peaceful ray,
Our last low dwelling hath no gloom.
How beautiful their calm repose
To whom that blessed hope was given.
Whose pilgrimage on earth was closed
BY the unfolding gates of heaven.

the memory of succeeding ages, which raised
upon the classic shores Of Greece those lovely
temples and those gropes Of sculptured liie,which
the hand Of master genius had wrought; and it
is that feeling of reverental awe for the Past
which leads the lonely traveller to tread with
silent yeneration those plains, and look with adj
miration on The ruins of departed greatness.
If the past scenes of our lives have been in
nocent, they must be happy; every hour adds
tint, every day new charm to them, and every
year increases their value. While we approach
the winter Of age, they flourish in the verdure
of spring, and when age shall have banched
| our locks, they will bloom in eternal youth.
Like objects too near 1.-The vision, it becomes
confused and indisinct we do not see our en-
ioymens at the moment they are in our posses
sion-we do not know that we have realized,
till we have lost them. There is "a transport that
blinds us--there is an ecstacy that deprives us
of consciousness. When the enjoyment is torn
from our embrace, we awake as from trance,
and when reflection returns, we behold happiness
at distance 1t is then that it gances on the dark
| mirror of the heart.
There is no enjoyment like that of memory
there is no felicity like the recollection of other
days, that "come before with all their deeds. -
| Even those things that were painful to suffer,
| are pleasing to remember, even melancholy as it
ofientimes may he, how frequently does the mind
love to turn back upon the scenes that have
gone by. How often are the thoughts drawn,
| insensibly, as it were, from the darkness of the
future, to the twinkling of the past-to scenes
that family glimmer through the cold and SOM
| brous lapse of days, and months and years. A
pleasing mela ncholy comes over the full soul as
the "green spots" on the desert of life come up
before the eye of Imagination, and ties strong
as those of "first love" bind us unconsciously to
scenes where once centred all our joys. Such
are the the recollections of childhood and of
youth; such are the forms pictured upon the
sunny surface of the past-when the heart beat
joyousy, when every path was strewed with
fiowors-when all above was a cloudless sky
and when all around was sunshine! If eyer
man enjoys happiness it is in the spring time of
life, when his hope beg ms to bud and blossom
to his Elusive eye the future appears bright as
the visions Of an elysian dream. But soon the
frost of disappointment comes-old age 'steals
along with silent tread"-and all but the recol-
lection OF enjoying them is gone. Still memory,
like every thing else connected with our worldly
enjoyments, has its pleasures and its pains-its
joys and its SORROWS. Memory's page is the rec
ord of events which have marked our cheqered
course of life. 1t is that simple unvarnished
tale of truth, which remains of the joys that are

The evening tide is flowing
Away to other strands;
The sunset light is glowing
Upon the shining sands;
The free, light bark seems sleeping
On ocean s waveless breast
While Heavens bright dews are weeping
In silence Der their rest.
So Gibbs the tide of feeling,
So beauty must decay,
And leave us while it's stealing
Far on times shores away:
The morning ties that bound us
To life with all its woes,
Must wither too around US,
Like freshness from the rose.
And Love, who once could weave US
A wreath of rosy flowers
His little bark must leave us,
For other hearts than ours.
His shining freight of sorrows
Are hid by sunny Hope
And often, too, he borrows
Her wizard telescope.
And Friendship, too, will falter,
With all it's fancied truth,
And perish on life's altar,
The sacrifice Of youth;
Then who shall blame us grieving
For hours of morning prime,
While memory is leaving
AS monuments to time!
Thus GIBBS the tide Of feeling
So passion must decay
Till truth stands forth revealing
The realms of better days;
To ties that withered round US
New being shall be given,
And happy sons surround us,
In quietude-IN HEAVEN.
