The Sabbath. Q. Adams.

Among the numerous and exchshg
party topics of This tumuliuous city, we
have this week had one adapted to tran
quilize the troubled waters; and pro-
duce an effect, like that which was
produced on the ,empest-tossed sea OF
Galilee. when it heard a voice, saying
-'PeAcE, BE STILL Episcopalians,
Me,hodists, Baptis,s, Lutherans, Dutch
Reformed, Congregailonallsts, fresby-
iterians (Old School aud New,) and
members of Congress, Wings aud Dem
ocrats, and all classes Of good men and
tue, from The East, and the West, the
North and the South, were assembled
in one of the largest churches OF the
CITY. which was filled to over1owlng.-
After waiting some time in silence, evl-
dently in eager expectation, the vene-
rable JoHN QUINCY ADAMS arose and re-
oues,ed man whose name | did not
distinctly hear, TO address the Throne
ofGracc.' He came forward, and IN a
mild and sweet tone o! voice, IN hum
Bile, affectlonate manner, implored the
presence and blessing OF the most high,
while they should unite their counsels
and efforts for the promotion OF the sacred
and universal observance Of the Chr's-
tian Sabbath.
After he had closed, Mr.. Adams a
rose, and IN a calm, dignified, and yet
very kind, and subdued tone OF voice,
said, that he had been requested TO take
the chair, and 20 address the Assembly
on this occasion. But as the request
had but Just been made, he must speak
IN desultory manner. He began by
re epea,ing the declaration Of the Savior,
The Sabbath was made for man, -
lie then went on in his inimi'able man
ner. To show how the conscientious OBJ
servance of the Sabbath, As a holy day,
promoted all The interests of man. He
surveyed him first aS a little child, aud
carried him iorw ard, under the influence
Of the Sabbath ,ill he became a youth,
and a mature man.
He then surveyed him, as the head OF
n family, in discharge Of his momen,ous
duties, towards his offspring; as an
heir Of immortality, leading the house.
hold at the family altar, IN united aud
ierveut suppica'ions to their common
God and Father; humbly coniesslng
their sins and seeking that pardon'ng
mercy, without which they could no, be
happy in this life, o. the life to come -
The lremulous, deep emotion with which
he uttered this sentiment touched many
a heart, and raised many hand to pre-
vent the falling tear.
He thus accompanied The young man
out into the world, in the discharge of
his social, civil, and religious duties,
and proceeded onward to the close oi
life. And as he Quilted his mortal and
entered upon his Immortal state, under
the influence Of the Sabbath, and found
himself in the bliss and amidst the glores
Of the upper world, every heart in the
assembly seemed to say --'lHE SAB
p.ru WAS INDEED MADE FOR MAN.

Hints on Diseases of Me Hair.

Huds on Diseases ot lie Hair.
Badness arises from several causes, but
chiefly from a cutaneous scurf, that has It's
origin in dseescd state OF the blood which,
If no, cradicated, occasions the loss Of the
hair. In such cases, frequent application OF
the Chemical Baisam, as wash aud emolli-
ent, preserves the roots by its healthy and
curative action upon The minute blood vessels
which surround and nourish the hair, and
destroys the disease, which, if left unchecked,
must occasion final badness, from the cor
rupt state Of the skin. This is the most dam
gerous Of all diseases incident TO the roots OF
the hair and the one 10 be most carefully
guarded against, Fevers are also causes OF
the falling out of the hair, as well as many
other complaints which il is needless to emu
merate, ell having one origin. The only pre-
servative against losing the hair from old age,
is constant attention, and the application OF
such s,ilnulants us the Chemical Bdisdm,
which will nourish the roots. By its use the
hair may be preserved vigorous to extreme
old age. Just received and for sale by
