proprietor has never known an instance where they
did not give perfect satisfaction Several thousand
boxes have been sold within the last year, restoring
to health persons in almost every stage of consump-
ton, and those laboring under the most distressing
colds and coughs.
Jonathan Ho Garth, esq. the well known temper
ance lecturer, took a severe cold last January by
sleeping in damp sheets that seemed TO have settled
IN a consumption. He raised good deal of bloody
matter, and his cough was so harrassng and inces-
SAINT that he could get rest by day or night. Af-
ter trying various remedies without relief he tho t
that death alone would relieve him of his misery.
But by the advice of lady he purchased box of
Sherman's Cough Lozenges; they gave him great
relief, and TO his surprise aayed his cough, made
him rest easy, and enabled him TO sleep sound all
night; three days use of them made a new man Of
him, and he is recommending Shermans Lozenges
TO all his acquantances.
sHERMAN's WORM LoZENGEs
Are the only infallible worm destroying medicine
ever discovered. ,400,0 600 boxes have been sold,
and not failure has ever been known. They des-
troy all kinds of worms, and cannot injure where
there are none.

men.-My wife has been afflicted with worms from
the age of three years, and has never been without
them. She resided at Mddletown, Butler county
At times, she has been so afflicted with worms as
to require the attendance of two of the best phys-
clans in the place-one doctoring her for one COM
plant, and one for another, but getting worse she
removed to Madison, and was under the hands of
two of the most celebrated physicians of that place,
but all did her no good, She came to Cincinnati
some time since, and began to despair of getting
better: indeed she got SO bad, the worms came up
in her throather sufferngS became almost intoler-
able. Hearing OF the many cures perforRed by
Sherman's Lozenges, she thought she would try
them last August | stepped inyour store and got
a box of the worm lozenges, and Ihave every rea-
son to rejoice that | did so. She took but ONE
HALF pox, when the worms came from her IN
lunches. | could not be positive, but would sup
pose that there were from fifty TO sixty in each
bunch. The last dose brought several white worms,
from twelve 10 fifteen inches long. She began to
get WELL aud felt better than she had for years Be-
ing cured, she gave the balance Of the box to a
neghbor by the name of Herald who lives short |
distance from who has two chilcren, one five and
the other two years of age, who were much troub-
led with worms, and have heard since, that by the |
time they had used up the box, both children were
entirely cured"

A YANKEE SHOEMAKER.

nor nothin'I spose,'' said a jolly son o
Crispin from the land Of wooden nu
megs, as he entered a shoe establish
ment, with his kit nicely done up in hi
apron.
"Wonder if hain't," was the reply
ofthe boss.--"Why ! should like to have
a dozen, ifl could get 'cm; but wha
kind of a shoe can you make?"
"Oh, as to the matter of that said
the snob, 81 reckon how can make {
decent sort of craft"
"Spread your kit then,' said the boss
"l'll give you pair to try, and if youl
work suits me, can give you steady
seat of work"
Crispin was on at it, hammering
and whistling away as happy as clam
at high water, and the boss was cal ed

THE STRENGTH OF TYRANNY.


The tyrant's chains are only strong
While slaves submit TO wear them,
And who could bind them on the throng
Determined not to wear them!
Then clank your chans--c'en though the lin
Were light as fashions feather,
The heart which rightly feels and thinks
Would cast them altogether.
The lords of earth are only great
While others clothe and feed them!
But what were all theirpride and state
Should labor cease to heed them,
The swain is higher than king
Before the laws Of Nature;
The monarch were useless thing,
The swain useful creature.
We toll, we spin, we delve the mine,
Sustaining each his neighbor-
And who can hold right divine
To rob US of our labor'
We rush to battle-bear our lot
In every i'll and danger,
And who shall make the peaceful cot
To homely JOY stranger'
Perish all tyrants, far and near,
Beneath the chains that bind us
And perish, too, that servile fear
Which makes the slaves they find US,
One grand, one universal claim
One peal of moral thunder
One olorious burst in freedoms name
And rend our bonds assunder!

WESTERN AN TIQUlTIES.

Advertiser dated at Detroit the 18th
instant, Mr.. Henry r. Cocraft pre-
sents, among other things, the follow
ing views respecting the remains at the
West, and the race to which they owe
their origin:
"Michigan connects itself in its anti
quarian features with that character of
pseudo civilization, or modified barbar-
ism. of which the works and mounds
and circumvoutions at Grave Greek
Flats, Marietta, CircIevile and other
well known points, are evidences.-
That this improved condition of the
hunter state had an ancient but partial
connexon with the early civilization
of Europe appears now TO be fair in
ference, from the inscribed stone Of
Grave Greek, and other traces of Eu-
ropean arts discovered of late. 1t is
also evident that the Central American
type of the civilization, or rather ad-
vance to civilization, of the red race,
reached this kngth, and finally went
down, with its gross idolatry and hor-
rid rites, and was merged in the better
kno wn and still existing form of the
hunter state, which was found, respec-
lively, by Cabot, Cartier, Verrezani,
Hudson and others, who first dropped
anchor on our coasts.
"There is strong evidence furnish
ed by survey of the Western coun-
try the teocalli type of the Indian civ
iizatlon, so to call it, developed itself
from the banks of the Ohio, in Tennes-
see, and Virginia, West and North
westwardly, across the source Of the
Wabash, the Muskingum and other
streams, towards Lake Michigan and
the borders Of Wisconsin Territory.-
The chief evidences of it in Michigan
and Indiana consists Of a remarkable
series ofcurious garden beds, or accu-
ratcly iurrowed fields, the perfect out
ines of which have been preserN ed by
lie grass of the oak openings and pra-
ries, and even among the heaviest for

particular portion of the West, the an

ore be supposed to have been border
