THE PSALM.

Fish of all sorts inhaht there's
And throng tho dark abode;
There haddock, hakc and surgeons are.
And eels, and perch and cod
From raging winds and empests free,
So smoothly pass,
The shining surface seems to be
a bit Of Bristol glass.
But when the winds and tcmpcss rise
And loamng pillows swell
The vessel mounts above the Skies
Then lower sinks than hell
Our heads the lettering motion feel
And quickly We become,
Glddy as new-dropped calves, and reel
Like Indians drunk with rum.

Noffat's Life Pills.

THESE medicines are indebted for
their name TO their manifest and sensible
action in purifying the sprin gs and chan
nels of life, and enduing them with re,
newed tone and vigor. In many hundred
certified cases which have been made pub
lie, and in almost every species Of disease
to which the human frame is liable, tne
happy effects of MOFFATS LIFE
PILLS AND PHENIX BITTERS have
been gratefully and publicly acknoWiedg-
ed by the persons benefited, ana VINO
were previously unacquainted with the
beautifully philosophical principles upon
which they are compounded' ana upon
which they consequently act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend
themselves in diseases of every descrlp-
ton. Their first operation is to loosen
from the coats of the stomach and bowels,
the various impurities and crudities con-
stantly settling around them; anG 20 re-
move the hardened fnces which collect in
the convoluiion Of the small intcstincs.
Other medicines only partially cleanse
these, and leave such collected masses be-
hind as to produce habitual costivcness,
with all its train of evils, or sndden dlar-
rhna, with its imminent dangers. This
fact is we'll known to all regular anato-
mists, who examine the human bowels
after death: and hence the prejudice of
these well informed men against quack
medicines, or medicines prepared and he
ralded TO the public by ignorant persons.
The second effect cf the Life Medicines Is
to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder,
and by this means, the liver and the lungs,
the healthful action Of which entirely de-
pends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The bloud, which takes its red
color from the agency of the liver and the
lungs before it passes into the heart, be:
ing thus purified by them, and nourlshed
by food coming from clean stomach,
courses freely through the veins, renews
every part of the system, and triumphantly
mounts the banner Of health in the bloom
ing cheek.

PARODY

ON "oLD GRIMES IS DEAD"
Old Bony's dead, that poor old dog,
We ne'cr Shall see him more,
The Doctor shot him in the head,
lie missed him once before.
Ills virtues were scanty few,
His lailings manifold,
lie never let lis victuals go
When once lie got hold.
HIS limbs were large and loosely knit
Some said his cyes were green,
l called his skin an eaS3 .tt
While others called him lean.
And like some others 1 coa!d name,
This old dog lrI nose,
And he was always sure TO yell
When you l.od on his toes.
His skin was of a ,rhity-bro,cn,
His hair by scratching gone,
And though he often rubbed himself
Was never known TO iawn.
Old Bony's tail was very short,
And what is quite as strange
lie was afflicted many gears
With disease called "mange."
Tho TO Society twas thought
No ornament was lie,
Good company would seldom meet
Where Dony would not be.
That's if he could, for often they
Would kick him frem the door.
"But now he's gone, and we shall sec
The like Of him no more"
What if his beauty was not ra-c'
What tho he lailings had?
Should they have shot this poor Old dog
Simply f". going mad?

Security against the Wheat fy.-When
there is an abundance of clover or hemp
around wheat field, has been ascertain
ed to certainty, that very much less inju-
ry will be done to the wheat by the grain
flies than in most other situations. The
reason is plain. The weevil deposits Its
eggs on the sweetest plants it can find,
and prefers the clover or hemp even t"
wheat.
Might it not be good plan for farmers
whose wheat fields do not happen to be.
situated in the midst of clover field, to
sow pretty wide row hemp around the
outside of the lot forthwith.

on TIE SUPPOSED EXISTENCE OF TIE TEN
TRIBES.
SrR,-I in this day Of deep and general

it would not DC Improbable to adopt tho
plan followed by the students in medicine
as it regards anatomy: i. C. that each in

without attempting to explore the whole

{; iland, an eye. or any single member OF
the human body be sufficient to employ
the undivided attention Of the student in
anatomy, how much moro must a single
prophecy be deemed worthy Of the cxclu-
sivc efforts of the student in theology?
Thus. for example, instead of all indivi-
dual cndcavoring to explain all the Won
dcrs of the Apocalyptic vision and other
unfuIflled prophecies, let him make choice
of one, AID then give to it his entire ef-
fort and diligent consider alton, whether it
be the celebrated period of 1860 years;
the 1000 years of the Millennium; the
number of the beast, the two witnesses,
&c. &c.-Undcr the impression of these
feelings, here venture to submit a few
thoughts on the supposed existence of the
Ten Tribes of Israel.
There are a grca, number of excellent
men, both in the Church and ont of it,
who believe and maintain that the Ten
Tribes of Israel are still in existence and
remain distinct, but concealed in some
scquestered and remote part OF the earth.
and that when a certain time has arrived,
they will pour forth their multitadinous
host to the astonishment Of the world.
Now, Sir, did we live in the times OF
Pythagoras, who taught his pupils to be-

ly offer an objection; but in the present

and localities of the earth, to imagine that
such an immense and overwhelming body
as the Ten Tribes, (allowing only the Or
dinary increase Of population) must ne
cessarily be, and that they are still dis
tinct and shrouded from our most diligent
inquiries, appears to me to border on the
romantic, and is equally alike unsuppor-
ted by reason and revelation. Bat let us
pursue the inquiry. 1t will readily be
conceded, presume, that they do not
exist in popu'ous Europe, which is is CO.
vcro,l with cites, towns, and villages,
and where the inhabitants are almost
known by name and occupation. Let us
| turn to Asia, and what part Of that highly
interesting country has not been explored,
with the exception of the interior OF Of
China? But a very little reflection will
convince an unprcjudiced mind that China
is very unlikely place fer their conceal
ment. History and recent information
assures us, that that populous empire con-

Cure for q Snakc Bite.-John Prcssual,
Jr., farmer on Little River in this colln-
ty was severely bitten by Pilot Snake in
his harvest field. After striking the snake
with his scythe and cutting it in two, he
made his way to the house as speedily as
possible, and sent off to neighbor for
some brandy, having heard thct was good
for a snake bite; and there was no physi-
clan nearer than Ashboro' Not knowing
what to do, and being in great pain, the
sufferer casually laid hold of a bottle of
camphor-about half full (camphorated
spiIits-probably brandy) and placing the
mouth of the bottle to the wound, Ghe an
klc we believe,) he felt partial relief in
stantly. All present thought they could
plainly sec the poisonous fluid escaping
from the wound into the bottle. By con-
tinuing this process an hour or two, he be-
came entirely relieved, and went back to
his work again without any further incon-
venience. The above facts were related
