And The child died for he had fingered long
and painful was it to behold the sufferines of the
lille innocent But its suferines were known
to but few, for it was the child of poverty And
though its parents live in village numbering its
ten thousand, and although they were honest and
| they were unknown comparatively ly-for they
were poor. And it was not by the rich and fash
lonable of the world onl y that they were unknown
the rich and fashionable among the church,
also of which they were members scarcely knew
them or knowing, passed them by to attend to
the a00nts of the rich And when the day of bu-
rial came, painful it TO see so few. that couId
turn aside for an hour to mingle their sympathics
and tears with the7heart stricken parents And
how did ii add to the bitterness of their grief to
see that there were none. scarcely, to sympathise
with them, even IN appearance. But so it was
and such is the present state of society And
think you that there was not as pure Lote as ten
der feelings deep anguish in the hearts OF these
poor parents as though they had been surrounded
with all the Pomp and parade that wealth could
purchase oh judge not thus of the bitter feel
are as tender sympathes and as deep anguish
nurtured and brought out among this class as can
be found among the gay and the fashionable
But, The rich man also died and was buried
and y, how the. news spread as soon as he was
taken ill, and what running to and fro and vieing
with one another to see which should be foremost
to administer to bis necessities. And then when |
the funeral came, what pomp, what parade, num- |
bers attended that burial-what mingling of sor- |
rows, and sympathies, and tears, and how were
his virtues extolled and what peals of praise to
his exalted worth, now for the first time known. |
And the words foo, of the officiating Clergyman,
were all butter and oil. pure and spoless, and
had been his life, although in the a.
massing OF his great wealth, he had perhaps never
been seen to stop at oppression and deceit But
he has lived and aourished and been stared at
and buried, and the world has shown how much
more they have admired the empty nothingness
Of Wealth, than the worth of humble but honest

hence multiludes, who have been unable

By their manifest and sensible action
upon the chyle, which is the fountain head
of health or disease, they may justly be
considered a Universe! Medicine, and the
complaints that come most directly under
their influence, and for which they are so
particularly designed, are as follows:-
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspep-

Bowel and Summer Complaints, Female
