err, country, and faith, to follow him; but
he was silent, and she feared her love
was despised. Still her noble heart re-
fused to take its revenge by interrupting
his escape; but she watched his depar-
lure hoping to the last that he.would
communicate with her; ard when she
could no more catch the shadowy figure
of the receding boat, she flung herself on
her cushions and wept as if her heart
would break From that day her atten-

thinner, as ifsome secret malady was eat

truth.
In the proud castle of Limoges sat the
owner leaning his head on his hand. He

The page looked at the squire, when his

exposed to view countenance of singu-
larly feminine beauty, for one ofhis sex.
'IIenr! Henri'n' said the page, and burs-

"My own Zenora!" and the knight
clasped her to his bosom; for it was the

Brolher-our hearts are full. Twelve

Every warrior that you see here was OPP

DIR. .MOFF.4T'S LIFE PILLS
IND PHOENIX BITI'ERS.

The perfectly safe; unerring, and successful
treatment OF almost every species of disease by
the use of DR. MOFFAT'S LIFE MEDICIN rs,
is no longer an experiment; as reference to the
experience Of many thousand patients will salts
hctorily prove. During the present month of
September alone, nearly ono hundred cases have
come to the knowledge of Dr.. Nlofiat, where
the patient has, to all appearance, effected per-
nianent cure by the exclusive and judcious use
of the Life Mcdcincs--somc eight or ten of these
had been considered beyond all hope by their
medical attendants. Such happy results are ii
source Of great pleasure to DR.. NJ, and inspire
him with new confidence to recommend the use
of his medicines to his icllow-ctizcns.
The LIFE MEDICINES are purely VEG
ETABLE preparation. They are mild and plea
SAINT in their operation, and 1t Tie same time
rough-acting rapidly upon the s:cretions of
the systenl-carrying OF all acrimonious humors,
and assn,lating with and purifying the blood.
For this reason, in aggravated cases of Dyspcp-
sla, the Life Medicines viii give relief in short
or space oftmc than any other prescription. In
Fevcr-and-Aguc, nhamato.y rheumatism, Fee
vers ofevery descrlotion, Sick Headaches Heart
burn, Dizziness in the head, Pains in the Chest,
Flatulency, impaired appetite, and in every dis
asc arising from an impurity of the blood, o
dfsordcrcd state of the stomach, the use of these
Medicines has always proved to be beyond doubt
greatly superior to any other mode OF treatment.
All that DR.. Motiat asks of his patients is to be
pnsslcnlar in taking them according to the drcc-
tIf7hs. 1t is not by a newspaper notice, or by
any thing that he may say in aleir favor, that he
hopes to gain credit. 1t is alone by the results Of
Il fair trial. Is the reader an invalid, and does
he wish to know whether the Life Medicines will
suit his own case: Ifso, let him call or send to
DIR. Mollats office, 31j Broadway, and procure
a copy of the Good Samaritan published gratu-
itously. He will lherc find enumerated very
many extraordinary cases of cure; and perhaps
some exactly similar to his own. Sold wholesale

A Beautiful speech.

The Natchcz Free Trader contains a
report Of a speech of Col. Cobb, the cele-
brated hall-bred chief of the Chostaws,
made i'll reply to J. J. McRae, Esq the a
gent for enrolling and emigrating the In
dams to the west Of the Mississippi, who
had made speech to the lndians, about
one thousand in number, assembled at
iIopahka, informing them that "thcir
council fires could no more be kindicd
here" that their warriors can have no
field for their glory, and that their spirits
will decay within them;" and if they
should stake the hand of their great faith
er, the President, which is now offered to
them to lead them to their western homes
then will their hopes be higher, their des-
tinies brighter.
The Nalchez Courier appropriately
says of this bit Of eloquence that for
comprehensiyeness and brevlty, for beau
ty, of diction and force, for affecting sub
Unity and propriety of sentiment, we
have never seen any production to exceed
it. We publish il as a composition wor-

SPEECH OF COL. COBB.
Head Mingo Of The Choc.Gms east of the
MiSsissiPpt, IN reply TO the Agent IF the
United States.
BROTHER: We have heard your talk
as from the lips of our father, the great
White Chief at Washington, and my pco
pie have called upon me to speak to you
The red man has no books, and when he
wishes to make known his views, like
his fathers before him,Fh speaks from his
mouth. He is afraid of wriiing. When
he speaks, he knows what he says; the
Great Spirit hears him. Writing is the
invention of the pale faces; it gives birth
to error and to leuds. The Great Spirit
alks-we hear him in the thunder-in
the rushing winds, and the mighty waters
but he never writes.
Brother: When you were young we
were strong; we fought by your side;
but our arms are now broken. You have
grown large. My people have become
small.
Brother: My voice is weak; you can
scarcely hear me; it is not the shout OF d
warrior, but the wall of an infant. | have
lost it in mourning over the misfortunes
of my people. These are their graves,
and in those aged pines you hear the
ghosts of the departed. Their ashes arc
here, and we have been left to protect
them. Our warriors are nearly all gone
to the far country west; but here are our
dead Shall we 60 too, and give their
bones 10 the wolves
Brother: Two sleeps have passed since
we heard you talk, We have thought u
pon it. You ask us to leave our coun-
try, and tell us it is our Fathers wish
We would not desire to displease our
Father. We respect him, and you his
child. But the Choctaw always thinks
We want time to answer.

By AMELIA.

l sometimes have thought in my loneest hours
That lie on my heart like the dew on the flowers,
Of ramble took one bright afternoon,
When my heart was as light as blossom in June;
The green earth was moist with the late fallen
showers,
The breeze futered down and blew open the flowers,
While single white cloud TO its haven of rest,
On the white wing of peace aoated of in the west
As threw back my tresses to catch the cool breeze
That scattered the rain-drops and dmpled the seas,
Far up the blue sky fair rainbow unrolled
Its soft-tinted pinons Of purple and gold
Twas born in moment yet, quick as its birth,
1t had stretched to the uttermost ends of the EARTH
And, fair an angel, it foated all free,
With wing on the earth and wing on the sea-
How calm was the ocean! how gentle its swell!
Like woman's soft bosom, it rose and it fell,
While its light sparkling waves, stealing laughingly
When they saw the fair rainbow knelt down to the
shore;
No sweet hymn sscended, no murmur of prayer,
Yet felt that the spirit Of worship was there,
And bent my young head in devotion and love,
Meath the form of the angel that Aoated above.
How wide was the sweep Of its beautiful wings!
How boundless its circle how radiant its rings
II looked on the sky twas suspended in air,
Ii looked on the ocean the rainbow was there;
Thus forming girdle as brilliant and whole
As the thoughts Of the rainbow that circled my soul
Like the wing Of the Deity, calmly unfurl'd,
1t bent from the cloud and encrcled the world.
There are moments, think, when the spirit receives
Whole volumes of thought on its unwritten leaves,
When the folds of the heart in moment unclose
Like the innermost leaves from the heart of rose
And thus, when the rainbow had passed from the sky,
The thought It awoke were too deep to pass by;
1t left my full soul like the wing of dove,
All futtering with pleasure, and Auterng with love-
know that each moment Of rapture or pain
But shortens the links in life's mystical chain
know that my form, like that bow from the wave,
Must pass from the earth and lie cold in the grave
Yet oh when deaths shadows my bosom uncloud,
When shrink from the thought Of the coffin and
shroud,
May Hope, like the rainbow, my spirit unfold
In her beautiful pnions of purple and gold
