ing has the first place in publin estimation,
and books are as numerous as in Europe.
A catalogue which Mr.. G. had in his pos
session OF single library, occupies ten vol
umeS. Public measures are debated by the
populace as much as in the United States,
and public opinion has as much influence in
China on the Government as with us. The
fatal error Of the Chinese has been in CIV
ing too epiCurean a character to their hab.
its and their Government. One Illustration
Of this cited was the fact that at the close
Of all letters to one another, the written
salutation is, 81 wish you tranquility aud
promotion" They lack only military skill
and discipline TO make them powerful ma.
ton, capable Of repeIing invasion or over
running contiguous countries; for no men
are Drawer, or die more fearlessIy in the
ranks.
China does not need any foreign trade.
Within her own territory she produces
every thing requisite for the wants of her
popu alton.
Newspapers as we'll as books abound and
| circulate freely among the Chinese, and the
Pekln Gazette, particularly, penetrates 10
avery part Of the Empire. They annually
! publish Red Book, similar 10 our Blue
I'll public officers.
In regard to the population OF China, Mr.,
Cushing seems to be OF opinion that tie
Chinese census does not overrate the num-
Der, and that the three hundred and fifty
millions which they claim, is not far from
the true number. la the southern part Of
the country two crops year are produced,
and the poorer classes subsist on a little
rice, and the flesh OF dogs, cats, rats, &c.
To the cities and towns lhare are no car
rlageways, the streets are only narrow foot
paths; no horse or other beasts Of burden
are kept to require large ranges Of pasture.
The population is crowded into the mar
west limits. by long succession Of ages
OF peace and industry. The compensation
asked by the servants which Mr. c. in his
character Of American Amb nssador, EN-.
ployed, was only fire dollars month, and
out Of this they found their own food and
clothing.
The Chinese have long been acquainted
with all the Improvements in the arts. upon
which Europeans pride themselves as the
inventors, with the exception only of the
steam engine. Machinery has not been
introduced among them.
The wrong impressions which have OBJ.
tanned in regard to the Chinese character,
have been caused by the always difficult
and often erroneous TRANSACTIONS from a
primitive language, which frequently make
what in the original was rational and seri.
Gus, appear in the translatiUns absurd and
IudlCrous.

DR.. JAMES NJ. MARTENS APPROVED
FAMILY MEDICINES.
NTIRING RESEARCH, travel and labor,
~ combined to the advant afforded by an
extensive and diversified practice have enabled DR..
J. w. MARTlEN to make various highly import
ant discoveries in the healing art.
In offering his preparations to the human family
Or. Marten fearlessly hazards the assertion that
they are not only unsurpassed, but not equdHed
either for their curative properties, for midness
safety and certainty in their operations, by any
other preparations compounded for similar purpo-
SEES, now before the public
Dr. James VI. MARTENS InrinciJle Pills, for the
cure of Fever and Ague and all other Fevers, have
not in a single instance failed to accomplish per.
feet cure when the directions have been strictly
followed. This medicine has in various violent and
desperate cases, effected radical cures, after the pa
tients had been abandoned and their condition pro-
nounced hopeless, by medical gentlemen of high
professional character.
DR.. MARTENS ANTI-BILloUs VEGETABLE UNI
vERsAL LIFE PILLS. This medicine will certainly
remove all impurities of the blood and is an eff
fectual remedy in many of the complaints which
atiict the human system, and for the various pain
ful and vexatious diseases incident to the female
sex, no preparations now known to the public are
equal TO these pills. As cathartic, they are en-
trely safe, always eficacious, and operate with
usual mildness they also act cosmetic, and
render the complexion clear, rich and fair.
Dr.. MARTENS .4NTI- DYsPEPTIC AND ANTI-CoN-
sUMPTIvE PILLs.-These pills are principally pre-
pared of Indian remedies, and operate almost like
charm. For dyspepsia, consumption, chronic
cough, pain in the breast, splitting blood and CON-
plants of the bowels, generally, this medicine is
certain cure when taken according to TIE accom-
panying directions. For many of the complaints
with which children afflicted, it is truly efca-
ciouS and without rival.
DR.. MARTENS NEVER FAILING Worm DESTROY
NC MEDIcIEE.-This preparation now ranks among
the most important discoveries of this, or any
other age, for expelling worrns.-H neuer fails
Parents who are anxious to preserve the lives of
their innocent offspring should always keep the in

DR. James NJ. Martien-Sir:-A duty which
owe to the public as well as to yourself. impels ME
to advise you of the great benefits that have re-
suited, within my immediate knowledge, from the
use OF your Medicines. Those unacquainted with
you, or with your long experience and unsur-
passed skill as practising physician, might readily
be inclined to believe, that you are attempting
base imposition upon the unsuspecting and credu-
lous. But it must be admitted and the afflicted
who have used your Medicines are certainly under
the conviction, that you have approximated perfec
ton in the healing art. | have, myself, admins
tered your FEVER PILLS, when life was almost
gone, and every hope had been abandoned by gen.
llemen well skilled in your profession, and Ihare
neuer knOton the medicine TO fall l was present,
myself, in nine cases of obstinate fever, in all Of
which your Fever Pills were used. Tho rapid re-
covery of the patients, in every instance, occa
stoned surprise and establishment in those who
were acquainted with their condition. ] have also
used your UNIVERSAL LIFE PILLS, and frequently
administered them to others, and persuaded that
as universal medicine, they are unequalled. In
fact, suffering humanity is largely indebted to you,
and at no very remote period, the many blessings
you have been instrumental in imparting to the
afflicted, will meet with the grateful acknowledge
ments of a grateful people.

What is man IL the midst of nature. A
cipher in respect to The infinite, and all in
comparison with nonenily-a mean be-
rwixt nothing and all. He is infinitely far
removed from The TWO extremes; and his
being is not less distant from the nothing
ness whence he was drawn, than from the
infinite in which he is ingulted. In order
of intelligent things, his intellect holds the
same rank that his body does in the ex-
panse of nature; all he can do is to discern
some phenomena from the midst of things,
in the eternal despair OF ever knowing their
end. All things came from nothing, and
extend even to the initiate. Who can fol.
low this progress. The author OF these
marvels understand them; to all others they
are uninteligihle We burn with desire to
know every thing, and 10 build a tower
which shall rise even TO the heavens. But

opens beneath US even TO the abys.' 49,.
Man is the ieebleSt branch Of natur, but
It is branch that thinks. Ii is not neces-
sary that the whole universe should rise in

MACHINE POETRY.

Miss Mary is charming maid,
A comely lass is she;
She every morning, coffee drinks,
At evening, sips her tea.
She's never gsdding in the street,
But loves to stay at home;
Her eyes are parted by her nose
Her ringlets by comb.
She has a very preet foot,
And sometimes wears prunella;
On sunny days she sports shawl
On rainy, an umbrella.
She's virtues self perSonifed-
She scorns to do wrong;
She keeps her tongue between her teeth,
Where peoples tongues belong.
The poor have always found her kind;
She weeps for others woe;
On Sunday eve she sits alone,
Unless she has beau!
Each leisure moment she employs,
To cultivate her mind;
She ties her apron on before
Her hustle, on behind.
Whenever she shopping went,
She paid for what she bought:
In sleep she always shut het mouth,
As every body ought
Small faults she has-and who has not?
She strives them to reform;
When cold she likes to have fire
She fans herself when warm.
Accomplishments like these, would make
A match for Count or Earl;
And all the neigh5ors say she is
A pattern Of girl.

sufferer rapidly fastening to an untmely grave,
while yet in the bloom of youth. After the use of
two boxes of your Life Pills, every thing was
restored its proper organization Health, Beauty
the Physical Powers, and the Life of the female.
As mother who has seen much and many Attic
tons incident to her sex, | cannot too strongly
recommend your medicines to all mothers and
heads of families, believing, as do, that they
are among the greatest earthly blessings we pos
sess and knowing, from experience, that they are
universal in their application. And let me assure
you, that it is my sincere wish, that the giver OF
all good gifts, may, when your cup shall be full,
recOmpense you for the manifold blessings you have
been instrumental in comforting upon suffering

From Prague, we hear of the death at
the age OF seventy-seven, Of the Hebrew
merchant, Maurice Zedeaukuer-a man
whose title to record in pages like ours
consists, not in the princey fortune which
was the work of his own honorable toll,
but IN the noble use which he made Of it.
Fifty years ago, NJ. kedekaur came penni-
less, to Prague; and ne has lett behind him,
seven millions OF tloIlns-f7Oo,OOO. In
his lifetime lie devoted the larger part OF
his immense revenues to the encouragement
Of science, art, and national industry-and
to the relief of the INDECENT, without dis
tinction Of religion or race and by his Will,
he has bequeatheI three million Of forms
$500 900 among the the benevolent in
situations OF all the principal cities of Bohe-
mia. He was followed 10 the cementry of
his nation by men of all ranks and beliefs

ry authorities Of the capita-ail its dStin-
guished men-and il is very pleasant to add,
many cIergymen OF various Christian sects.
