YHHHE most popular remedies of the pres
Il ent day are those which cleanse and plr
/ fy the blood, and which are known to be in
nocent in their Qualities. Such remedies as
Antimony, Mercury, Zinc, and the having re-
course &c Bleeding in diseases, are now, it is
hoped gone out Of fashion, and Vegetable
Remedies will be soon the popular medicine.
Then Brandreth's VegetabAe Universal Pills
will be used and appreciated. They are
known to act beneficialy on euerv part Of the
! body; being taken up by the chvle they pass
into the blood, which they purify; and it
| should he remembered that they o,lly remove
| those parts from the blood which were the
cause of inflammation or disease of any kind.
Nothing is equal to Kidding the vitiated hu,
mors with 2 vegetable medicine of this kind,
which eighty four years have proved never to
do injury, but always good.
% IMPURITY OF BLOOD causes pain
and occasions disease upon that part of the
body which from any cause may be weakest.
! Thus in persons whose blood is impure, should
they have cold, the impure matter would
settle upon their lungs, and consumption be
/ the trouble; so with other affections Ali
trouble is saved by using the BRANDRETH
| PILLS, which cannot iniure, and which can.
! NV ~ OfOlNoifS' oiiiS use Ill tllC COlil-
mencement of any disease. use them in full
doses and you will be up and well, while
| those who are too wise to take such simple
medicine. are bedridden, or premuturely end
their days. The Brandreth Pills are only be.
ginning to be appreciated, they are found to
never deceive; they are the only internal
medicine required in this climate.
| Be careful Of pretended universal purgatives,
which cannot be used without injurv to the
body as Brandreth's Pills can. What are
they Are they not limitations of the Bran
dreth Pills recommended in advertisements
stolen from DR.. Brandreth1 Were they not
originally counterfeit pills purporting to be
the genuine Brandreth Pills. But in conse.
quence Of the new labels on the Brandreth
Pill boxes are they not obliged to come out I'M
der other colors equally false Observe the
makers and travelling agents Are they not
men whom DR.. Brandreth hath cast off. not
for good conduct truly? Is not this true as
applicable to the pretended Indian" and, in
fact, to nearly all the advertised pills of the
day. Shall the public trust their lives in the
hands of these unprincipled men? Surely
not.
The Brandreth Pills gire strenth for weak.
ness-they are liked best by those who have
taken the most Of them. DIR. Brandreth can
give personal reference to thousands who have
been restored from bed ofsickness by their
use. when every other mems had proved en-
tirely unavaing. These cases are continual
" occurring in this city and in every part Of
the Union. Get Brandreth's Pills if you are
not perfectly healthy, and they will restore
you-ifmedicine can DO it--because they ex-
pei those humors which are the cause of i'm
purity of the blood. and at the same time the
most excellent medicine.

NATIONAL SONGS.

Mr.. John Wilson, in an address to
some young ladies' assembled near
Baltimore at a Nay celebration, thus
speaks of the origin Of two Of our pop
ular songs:
Hal Columbia stands at the head OF
our patriotic songs, and is somewhat
remarkable in its origin. About fifty
years ago. Mr.. Fox, young vocalist
of fine talents in the line of his profess
sion, was DESTROYS to bring out some
thing new on his benefit night, being
then performing in Philadelphia. He
applied accordingly, to the late Judge
Hopkinson, who was known to be a
votary of the MUSES., to write him a
song for the occasion; but the judges
numerous engagements prevented him
from entering on the sk,until the ve-
ny morning 9th benefit.
When poor Fox called, and found
the matter thus, he was almost distrac-
ted. Mrs. Hopkinson plying his sit
uation, took her seat at the piano
and Reckoning to her husband, he took
up his pen, struck off the first verse,
which his lady played to its present
air. Fox, almost frantic with joy, ran
for Mr.. Reingle, the composer, who
set it to music. Tie song was finish
ed off hand-and sung from the manu-
script the same night with rapturous
applause. Fox made fortune by it
and nothing was heard that whole
season but Hail Columbia.
You all know the history of the "Star
Spangled Banner" and, without know
ing it, it is imposs IDLE to sing it with
suitable feelings.
The late lamented Francis S. Key,
Esq, also an eminent lawyear and pa
triot, was sent to the British Admiral
with flag of truce, and was detained
on board his ships during the lombard
ment of Fort McHenry. The happy
manner in which he has embodied the
feeling ofthat awful night, has been
considered but little short of inspiration
and the Star SpaagJed Banner shall
continue to be sung, and side by side
with Hail Columbia, will go down to
the latest posterity,as amongst the hap
piest illusions of the human mind.

THE PARTING OF SUMNER.

A1G t4H ING III SUMMER.
BY MRS KlsANs.
Ihou'rt bearing hence thy roses;
dlad Summertime the we'll
ihou'rt singing thy last melodies
In every wood ana dell
But in the golden sunset
OF thy latest lingering day,
Oh! tell me, Ger this checkered earth,
How hast thou passed away2
Brightly. sweet Summer brightly
Thine hours are foated by.
10 the joyous birds of the woodland boughs,
The rangers Of the SKY.
But how to human bosons,
With all their hopes and fears.
And thoughts that make them eagle wings
10 pierce the unborn yearsl
Sweet Summerl to the captive
Thou hast flown in burning dreams
vi woods, with all their whispering leaves,
And blue rejoicing streams:
To the wasted aud the weary,
On the bed of sickness bound,
In sweet delicious fantasies,
That changed with every sound:
To the sailor on tho pillows,
In longings wild and vain,
For the gushing foants and breezy hills
And The homes of earth again.
And unto me, glad Summer,
How hast thou flown ia nael
.Iy chanlcss footsteps nought have kept,
From thy haunts of song and glee.
Thou hast flown in wayward visions,
In memories of the dead
IN shadows from a troubled heart
Ger thy sunny pathway shed.
In brief and sudden strivings,
To fling a weight aside
Midst these Thy melodies have ceased,
AID all thy roses died,
But OH thou gentle Summer.
If greet thy flowers once more,
Bring me again thy buoyancy,
Wherewith my soul should soar!
Give me to hail thy sunshine,
With song and spirit free;
Or in purer air than this
May that next meeting be.

THE BRAVE Roy.

Two boys of my acquaintance were
one day on their way from school, and
as they were passing.a cornfeld in
which there were some plum trees full
Of ripe fruit. Henry said to Thomas,
"Let us jump over and get some plums
Nobody will see US, and we can scud
along through the corn, and come out

PENCILLINGs IN THE EAST.

Jj1e0f.

Breeds Bunker Hl!-.Monu-
nent.
Messrs. Editors, Il have now arriv-
ed at very interesting point in our
eastern tour, viz, a visit to Bunker
Hill--a spot dear to the heart of every
true American-soil that drank the
blood Of Warren and other patriots and
heroes.
esThey fell devoted but undying;
The very gales their namss are signing;
The waters nurmur of their name;
The woods are peopled with their fame;
The silent pillar, lone and gray,
Claims kindred with their sacred clay"
Having arrived at this monument
we paused, and as we gazed with mute
admiration upon this majestic column,
with its towering summit, and then
surveyed the site itself, we could not
dlvest our minds Of the tragic scene
that was here enacted on the 18th of
June, ITS, that ever memorable day.
What scene Of carnage and blood
What pencil can depict its horrors!-
Who can portray the heartrendings Of
that hour, SO complete with the future
destinies of the country? Great must
be the stoicism and adamantine the
heart Of him who could look unmoved
upon that mangled multitude of the
wounded, the dying and the dead
From the rehearsal of these sanguinous
conflicts the sickened heart recoils, and
turns to the cheering rays Of prophecy,
which alone can dispel the dismal
gloom. How delightful and Transport
ting to the Christian is the thought
that the timeis approaching when "na-
ton sha!, no longer war with nation,
when swords shah. be beaten into
ploughshares and spears into pruning
hooksi" Heaven speed that happy
day when peace, universal peace shall
pervade the whole earth!
The monument is beautiful piece
of workmanship, and highly creeitable
to the defendants ofthe Pilgrim Faith
ers. It is not standing on Bunker
Hill, but or Breeds Hill, for here The
battle was fought, and not on Bunk er
Hill, as is usually supposed-the latter
is the eminence short distance west
of the monument. The reason why it
is called Bunker Hill Monument is be-
cause the order was given to fortify
Bunker Hill. The corner stone Of the
monument was laid by La Fayette,
June II, 1926, and completed June
III, IS43. The base Of this splendid
pyramid, which is square, is laid about
twelve feet below the surface Of the
ground; and at this depth is fifty on
each side; as you approach the surface
ills only thirty feet, and gradually Ia
pering, It rises about two hundred and
twenty feet. The centre of the apex
Is only three feet six inches in thick

Fears are entertained for the safety of Gov.

women and children had fled from Warsaw,
and it was feared the town would be burned.
