DIcKENs.-The National Gazette gives
the following sketch of Mr.. Dickens, the au-
thor of the Pickwick papers, Oliver Twist,
sc.
" III person he is little above the standard
height, though not tall His figure is slight
without beng mcagre, and is well propor-
toned. An ample forehead is displayed I'M
der quantity of light h'r, worn in a mass
Oh one side rather than jauntily, and this is
the only semblance of dandyisn in his APP
penrance. HIS brow is Marked his eye
though not large, bright and expressive.
The most regular feature is the nose, which
may be called handsome; an epithet not ap-
piicable to his lips, which are too large.
Taken altogether, the countenance, which
is pale without sickness, is, in reposc, ex-
tremely agreeable and Indicative of refine
ment and intelligence. Mr.. Dickens man
ners and conversation, except perhaps IN the
perfect abtndon among his familiurs, have
no exhibition ofparticular wit, much less of
humor, lie is mild in the tones of his voice
and quiescent, evincing habitual attention
to the etiquette aud conventionalisms ofpol-
ished circles. His society is much sought
after, and possibly to avoid the invitations
pressed upon him he does not reside in Lon
don; but with lovely wife and two charm
ing children, he has retreat IN the vicinity.
He is about twenty-sx years of age, but
docs not look more than twenty three or
four. Mr.. Dickens is entirely self-made,
and rose from humble station by virtue of
his moral worth, his genius, and his indus

SARATOGA SPRlNGs.--The number of
vsters at the Springs last week was far
greater than on any former occasion. Eve
ry Hotel overhowed, and all spare rocms'
in dwellings Of the villagers which could be
impressed, were occupied by visiters. And
the scene is as gorgeous as it is gay. The
intercourse between the visters is as inarti-
fetal as possible. People seem not to have
gone there--as may go abroad--to make
themselves dlsagreeable. Strangers meet
and converse with frankness and cordiality.
The cold, former repulsive rules which too
frequently breeze over the enjoyments of
social intercourse, have been repudiated at
Saratoga.
Distinguished men, from nearly all the
states of the Union, are at the Sprlngs.
Among those whom we recollect, were the
Prescel.t of the United States, Henry Clay,
Gen. Scott, the Hon. Abbot Lawrence, the
Hon. Peleg Sprague, the Hon. Mr.. Priggs,
the Hon. Caleb Gushing and "Peter Par

SEVEN RE.as0.Vs WHY
DIR. LEIDY'S
S.4RSAPARILLA BLOOD Pills,

S.4RSAPARILLA BLOOD PILLS,
ASH0ULD receive apreference over all Pills now
- in existence:
First--Because they are composed of Vegetable
extracts, free from minerals; and may he taken at
all times with perfect safety by young and old, with
out restraint from occupation temperate living, or
fear of taking cold.
Second-Because they are composed Of such
medicinal extracts, as have been employed by all
the most celebrated and respectable Physicians for
more than a century past, in purifying the Blood
and Animal fluid of the body.
Third-Because they may be employed as
mild active purgative according to the quantity
taken, and their operation will not be attended with
gripping Of the bowels, sickness at the stomach,
prostration of the SYSTEM &c, are produced by
other pills.
Fourth-Because they possess a combined action,
not possessed by any other pills. mixture prepar
alton whatever. Their first effect is in correcting
all impurities with which the blood and fluids Of
the body may be affected and by their gently opera
tive effect, removing such impurities from the sys-
TEN.
Fihh--Because they are the terror of Quacks
and Imposcrs, for most persons arc obliged to take
the Sarsaparla Blood Pills, after taking their vile
and destructive nosrums, TO counteract and prevent
their mischievons and baneful effects.
Sixth-Bccause they are the only pills in which
Physicians have sufficient confidence to recommend
to their patients and employ in their practice, as
they know they are Anti Quack, Anti Mercural.
Anti Bilious as well as good and safe purgative
and purifier of the Blood and Animal Fluids.
Seventh and last--But not the least important,
be because they are prepared by regular Apothe-
cary and PLY sician, attested ny Drs Physic, Hor-
ner, Chapman, Devices, James, Gibson, Jackson,
Coke, Hare, &C., &c, which alone is sufficient to
entitle them to great confidence.

rs than scripture testimony can we have of the
life of the flesh depending upon the condition OF
the blood If impure diseased, the flesh mus
of course be diseased thereby, and the whole sys-
tenn parake of such disease. If the doctrine bc true,
and there is not doubt of it (for it is fact
ded to by all, that the scriptures are true beyond
doubt) then it behooves us to guard against the
consequences of such impurities, and thus preserve
the flesh healthy If the flesh be healthy, ccnsti-
tuting as il does the principal portion of the human
yody, then must the whole body be healthy.
In vegetables only can we find the medicine where
by all impurities of the blood may be removed
Upwards of one hundred years experience Of the
most celebrated, the wisest and best physicians have
proved certain vegetables to possess purifying prop
critics. These vegetables will not here be named
and DR.. Leidy wishes to remunerate himself, and
profit by the long, laborous, and costly experiments
necessary to be made that the active principles of
those vegetables might be retracted and reduced TO

them. My wife was at that time the mother of five
children, and had suffered the most tedious and ex-

of each. She had tried every means and taken
much medicine, but found little or no relief. She
commenced taking the Persian Pills about three

was afflicted with a d'y hard cough, and frequent
severe cramps, which the use of the Pills entirely
removed before using half box. 1t is with the
greatest confidence that advise all those about to
become mothers to make use Of the Persian Pills.
All those that have taken them in our neighbor-

appear to be half the danger of other dangers setting
in after confinement, where these Pills are taken.-
