THE TRUTH SOMETIMES NOT FOUND OUT
UNTIL TOO LATE.
OUCH is often the case in regard to persons taking
y medicine. They are induced by plausible rea-
sonng false representation and DOCTRINES to employ
medicines that, so far from being adapted to their
disease or sickness, absolutely increase the symP-
toms, destroy the constitution, rack the whole
system. and bring on gradual decline, terminating
i; death previous to the fatal termination, however,
lbut unfortunately too late the truth is found out
that the pills. mixtures sc. they have been taking
were composed Of the most powerful and dangerous
Ingredients prepared too by persons knowing nothing
of disease the nature OF the medicines they recon-
mend, depending altogether upon the general doc
trine Of such mposters," that their medicines will

IMMORTALITY.

What is it, but pleasing dream
The heart hath fill'd with prophet tones,
That whisper ola life, We doom
Beyond this world of tears and groans
And it's fearful thing TO know,
That death will quench beneath its tide,
All we would have forever, flow,
In lovely and immortal pride.
What wonder then, the soul must shrink
From such tyrAnt fate, aPpaPd,
And tho upon Oblivion's brink,
Cling to those hopes, so oft recall'd,
Alas! and yet we live, and feel
The scotching glow of madness steal
The spirits Immortality.
The heart may burn tho brain may reel,
And vet that madness cannot be,
And leave the spirit pure and tree;
Pain, sorrow, age, alike, on clay.
And spirit, breathe a sure decay,
Aud both are left, TO mourn and droop,
With bat the coming phantom Hope.
Der the sad ruin, once to smlle,'
Yet if it can in death, beguile
The mind from all its inward dread,
o! dark ann,hilation's night,
Disarmed of half its damning sting,
Death can no blacker terrors bring,
Than such as herald forth the light.
We feel that death. is not to be,
Whv should we not then, fear to die,
Thai tear
A long and bright Eternity.
It's bat q hope, we ne'er have felt
That self-existence of the soul.
That knows no change. though planets melt
And worlds IN fearful ruin roll:
Yet such the strange intelligence.
We hope to feel, without the sense
OfEarth, or Earth's realities
We know not, dream not, of the ties,
That bind as in that promised land.
In vain. Imagination flies
Though bright with hopes ETHEREAL dies,
To meet the heavenly spirit band,
And bafled, in its SPLENDID fight,
Returns TO reasons miider light,
We gaze upon the shrouded bier,
With half delirleus dread and fear,
And feel, that life sensation. fed,
The persisted ones are doubly dead.
The corpse, within its sable fold
A dark and dreadful tale hath told,
II cannot fecl-nor can the light
Recall the bgissful sense of sight.
And where is thought alas! decay
Marks cen is essence 40 its prey,
And death sole monarch of our doom.
Consigns US to oblivicn's gloom.
