head of modern orators There may have been
more measure and matured power IN Pitt, more
fire in the occasional hurst of Chatham, more I'M
bridled yehemence, more intense reasoning in Fox,
more deep-toned defamation in passages of Sheri-
dan, more learned imagery in Burke more wit and
humor in Canning; but as whole, and taking in
all rhetorical gifts, and all the orators accomplish
ments, no one, perhaps hardly the union ofseveral
ofthem, can match what we are taught by tradition
to admire in Bolingbroke's spoken eloqence, and
what the study of his works makes us easily be-
live to be tue.

A symmetrically beautiful and animated counten-
ance, noble and dignied person, sonorous and
flexible voice, action graceful and correct though

TO My RROTiIER.

Gods blessing on thee, Ben, my boy
II scarcely seems day,
Since thou were welcomed to our hearth,
One gentle morn in May;
And yet, the years that we have lived, 7
Since thy sweet infancy,
Have made thy elder brother, but
a stranger untSihec.
Thine eye, dear Ben, they say, is like
Thy mothers, and ,he mirth,
That wFcathcs about thy laughing lip
Like hers who gave thee birth.
God grant i, may be 50, that |,
In AFTER years may trace,
The looks OF her, the loved and dead,
Upon thy sunny face.
But that fair brow of thine, dear Ben,
IIalfh by many curl,
Where meet the boldncss of the boy
The sweetness Of the eirli
Tha, brow, they say, thy father claims,
And loves, with saddencd joy,
To see, in thee, himself, again
wild and merry boy.
Gods blessing on thee many year,
Will pass e'er shall see,
The boy used to sing to sleep
At evening on my knee.
Long life to thee may liz whose love,
Hath kept thy youth from i'll,
In all the cares Of ripper years,
Dear brother, guide thee still.

TIE Resurrection, or Persian Pills.

The name of these pills originated from the cir
cumstance of the medicine being found only in the
cemeteries of Persia. This vegetable production
being Of peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. In half CEN
tury il became established medicine for the dis
eases of that country. The extract of this singu.
reproduction was introduced into some parts Of Eu-
rope in the year l7s3 and used by mary celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases where all 9TH
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1852, the extract was combined with certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dhra Baca, in
the East Indies and formed into Pills The admir-
able effect of this compound upon the human sys-
TEN, led physicians and families into Its general
use Their long established character their univer-
sal and healing virtues, the detergent and cleansing
qualities of their specific action upon the gahdular
part of the SYSTEM such as will sustain their re-
putation and general use in the American Repub.

much said about the extraordinary effects OF the
Resurrection OF Persian Pills, upon those about to
become mothers we were induced to make trial Of
them. My wife was at that time the mother of five
children and had suffered the most tedious and ex-
cruclatnS pains during and after her confinement
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
months before her confinement Cher health being ve-
ry poor about this length of time previously and in
short time she enabled by their use TO attend to
the cares Of mother to h,r family until her con-
fnement. At the time she commenced taking the
Persian Pills, and for several weeks p evious she
was afflicted with d'y hard cough, and freouent
severe cramps, which the use of the Pills entirely
removed before using half bsx. 1t il with the
greatest confidence that we advise all those about TO
become mothers to make use Of the Persian Pills
All those that have taken them in our neighbor-
hood have got along in the same easy manner, and
are about the house in few days. There Goes not
appear to be half the danger of other dangers setting
IN after confinement, where these Pills are taken.-
We unitedly say,let none neglect taking them, for
they are in the reach Of the poor well as the rich
We dre truly thankful that there is remedy which
females can easily procure which tends to lessen the
world OF suffering, which many Of them have to bear
and perhaps save the lives of thousands which would
otherwise be lost.
