Born of wealthy parents, idolized in

pride Of her family and the belle of the
social circle, whose destiny she controIl-
ed. One of those enthusiastic beings,
who are satisfied with divided affection.
her mind was SO eXquiaitely strung that
the least discord afflicted 1t, and married
the whole. Some three years since, she
was introduced TO a young naval officer,
who soon wooed and won her, but villain
like, having sportcd awhile with the choice
flame which nothing but summer and
sunshine should glaGdcn, and after hav-
ing by scdulous attentions appropriated
the rare gem to himself, left it exposed to
the rude blast of winter, until chilled and
chrushe |, it has fallen to the ground,
scared and blasted like the Wthcrcd Leaf
of autumn.
The story Of his pcrfdy reached her
ears, but woman-lkc, she would not cred
it aught against the idol of her heart, ill
her own eyes perused i'll the papers Of a
neighborlng city his marriage to another.
The news came like thunderbolt upon
her, whitening and destroying her. In

desponding heart by travel and the kind

flight to heavens gate; IA fearful change
had came over her, and reason soon de-
serted its throne, leaving her maniac.
She takes no interest in the movements
of tho other patients, but sits apart, all
the day, looking from window, upon
the boundless prospect before her. Eve

ASH

II is well known Ihat the mountain ash,
snrInls Americana. is ore of the most
beautiful ornamental trees, native ia the
Canadus and the most Northern part of
the United States; aud that it is much cul-
tiyatcd Tor planting in grounds, and 'he
pnblc avenues in MANY places where less
hardy trees cannot thrive. 1t is also well
tina, in those districts where the mountain
ash tlriyes best, it has been found very
difficult to propagate and bring TO mitu-
ritv the apple aud pear, of which the
coun,ry bordering on the 18th degree of
latitude in this State and the Camadas. may
serve as an example. 1t is now found
that this beautiful tree may be converted
to 4 still more useful purpose than tilat OF
Il mere ornament. VIZ: that OF STOCKS Tor

REPROOF.

Rcprovc mildly and swcctly, in the
calmcst manner, in the gcntIcst terms; not
IN naughty or lmpcrious way, not has
lily or iicrcely, nor with sour looks, or
in bitter language; for these ways do b"get
all the evil, and hinder the best effects of
rcprooi; they do certainly inlamc and dis
tnrb the person rcprovcd; they breathe
wrath. diSdain and hatred against the re-
proven; but do not so well cnIightcn the
man to see his error, or affect him with
kindly sense Of his miscarriage, or dispose
him to correct his fault. Such rcproois
look rather like the wounds and pcrsccu-
tons of Cnmltv than as remedies minis
tered by Il friendly baud: they harden
men so much, th"v scorn to mend ~,
such occasion. Iircproof doth not SAVIOR
ofhnmanity, it signifies nothing: it must
be like bitter pill, wrapt in gold and
tempered with sugar, otherwise it will
not go down or work ellcctualy.

THE LOVE OF FLOWERS AND
BIRDS.

Tea CHI your children in mercy to spare
the nests of the harmless little birds. and
il you have heart to be thankful, it will
raise up III unison with the little songstcr's
coral to think your ''ot is cast in such
pleasant vale of flowers and singing birds.
These are some of the many things pro-
vidcd TO llghtcn'the toll of labor, and it is
only vtlatcd taste, acquired from a false
system of education that prevents us from
deriving great deal of happiness from
such small Accomplishments Of the Jour-

DIR. MOFFAT'S LIZ f Pills
avn PHGINjX BIT TIERS.

The perfectly safe; uncrring, and successful
treatment OF almost every species Of disease by
the use of DIR. MOFFAT'S LIFE MEDICINES,
rs no longer an experiment; as Il reference to the
experience Of many thousand patients will salts
iactorly prove. During the present month OF
September alone, nearly one hundred cases have
come to the knowledge Of Dr. Motfat, where
the patient has, to all appearance, effected per-
mancnt cure by the exclusive and iutcions use
OF the Lille Medcines-some eight ten Of these
had been considered beyond all hope by their
medical attendants. Such happy results are Il
source of great pleasure to Dr. NJ, and inspire
him with new confidence to recommend the use
OF his medicines to his icllow-citizcns
The LIFE MEDICINES are purely VEG
ETABLE preparation. They ar; mild and plea
SAINT in their operation, and at the same time
thorough-acting rapidly upon the secrctions of
the systcm-carrying OF all acrimonious humors,
and assmlating with and purifying the blood.
For this reason, in aggravated cases of Dyspcp-
STA, the Life Medicines viii give relief in a short
er space oftime than any other prescription. In
Fevcrand-Ague, lnlamato.y Rheumatism, Fe
vers ofevcry deScriotion, Sick Headaches, Heart,
burn, Dizziness in the head, Pains in the Chest
Flatulency, impaired appetite, and in every dis
asc arising from an impurty of the blood,o
disordered state Of the stomach the use Of these
Medicines has awaya proved to be beyond doubt
greatly superior to any other mode oltreatment.
All that DIR. Motiat asks of his patients is to be
particular in taking them according to the drcc-
tons. 1t is not by a newspaper notice, or by
any thing that he may say in their favor, that he
hopes to gain credit 1t is alone by the results Of
fair trial. Is the reader an invalid, and does
he wish to know whether the Life Medicines will
suit his own case: lfso, let him call or send to
DR.. Motiat's office, 375 Broadway, and procure
a copy the Good Samaritan, published gratu-
itously. lie will 1hcrc find enumerated very
many extraordinary cases of cure; and perhaps
some exactly similar to his own. Sold Wholesale
