Short Patent Sermons.

| have selected the following, by ]. E.
Dow, a namesakc of mine, as a text for
this occasion:
Old Time ! old Time! you've passed away,
And men have sadly altered;
The robbcr walks amid the day,
Unchded and unhaltered.
The statesman talks away his time,
And leaves the people starving,
The scales of Justice lean to crime,
And doctors cure by carving.
My Observation-Disclosures and corrup-
ton are always found to be welded to-
gether. They are so closely allied that it
is difficult to distinguish which from
which, or 'tother from 'tother. In fact,
refinement, such as we boast of at the
present day, is nothing but mass of cor.
ruption, coated with beautiful exterior
of hypocritical pretension. Old Time
has no! wholly passed away, as my text
might seem to imply; for he is destined
TO drive his chariot (the wheels to which
are rolling years. into the edge Of eternity
before he can be reckoned among the has
beens; but old times have passed away,
and present times have fallen into such a
state of degeneracy, that | doubt much
whether we shall have any times at all by
and by. We talk of improvement! Wha
kind of improvement do we make! Man
after having scared upon the wings o.
science to the celestial cities of the stars
and explored the aerial desert of space
having gone up in balloons among the
dark billowy clouds, and ascertained, by
analyzation, the component parts of thun
der and lightning-is, after all, farther of
from heaven now, than he was five hund
red or thousand years ago. BY the ali
Of telescopes and a kind of delusive fancy
ne brings objects from above, apparent,
near, and then foolishly imagines that h,
at last has arrived at the very doorstep
of heaven! What folly! what vainness
Why, my friends--,o tell you the plat,
truth, as we advance scientifically, intel
lectually, and socially, we digress moral
N.--'rhere is no more mistake about !

NNHESE PILLS are no longer among
those of doubtful utility. They
have passed away from the hundreds that
are daily launched upon the tide of expe>
riment, and now stand before the prblic
as high in reputation, and as extensively
employed in all parts of the U, States,
the Canadas, Texas, Mexico and the West
Indies, as any medicine that has ever been
prepared for the relief of suffering man.
They have been introduced wherever it
was found possible to carry them, and
there are but few towns who do not con-
tain some remarkable evidence Of their
good effects. The certificates that have
been presented to the proprietor exceed
twenty thousand upwards of five hun.
dred Of which, are from regular pract-
cling physicians, who are the most COM
petent Judges Of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by
this medicine, furnished subjects for editor
rial comment in various newspapers and
journals, and ii may with truth be asser-
ted that no medicine of the kind has ever
received testimonials Of higher value than
are attached to this.
They are in general use as a family
medicine and there are thousands Of fam
lilies who declare they are never sats>
fled unless they have supply always on
hand
Each box contains 40 piIls-price so
cents per box.
A fresh supply Of the above medicine
is just received, and for sale in Liberty,
at the Drug Store of DAVID JEWETT,
who is sole Agent for this County.
