A SOVEREIGN REMEDY for Fever and
IN Ague Liver Complaint, Jaundice,, Enlarge
ment Of the Liver, Enlargement of the Spleen,
(agus cake,) and the various forms OF bilious in
digestion.
The first effect of bilious climate upon the hui
man system is to produce torpor and inactivity OF
he Livet, thereby preventing the natural and
rec discharge of bile. All know the lurking ma
tre of the poison that produces the apove dseas-
es. A shallow complexion, capricious appetite.
and occasional pain in the side, are often the on
iy symptoms to warn of impending danger The
operation of the Cholagogue is to counteract this
maiasmal influence, by producing activity'of the
hillary organs, and healthy, natural discharge
of 5ile from the system.
For its effect as preventive, reference may be
had to the thousands Of travellers, as well as resi-
dents of bilious climates, who have been protcc-
ted by its use from attacks OF Ague, and other
bilious diseases

A WORD TO YOUNG MEN.

Wishing, and singing, and imagining and
dreaming of greatness, said WillianioWTt
will never make you great. But cannot a
young man command his energies? Read
Foster on decision of character That book
will tell you what is in your power to ac-
complish. Yot must grid up your loins,
and 90 to work with all the indomitable
energy of Hannibal scaling the Alps 1t is
your duty to make the most Of talents, time
and opportunities. .....
Alfred, King of England, though he per-
formed more business than any OF his sub
jects, found time TO study. .......
Franklin, in the midst of all his labors,
found time TO dive 10 the depths of philo-
sophy, and explore an untroddsn path Of
science.
Frederick the Great, with an empire at his
direction, in the midst of war, and on the
eve of battle, found time to revel in all the
charms of philosophy, and to feast himself
on the Injuries of learning.
Bonaparte, with Europe at his disposal,
with kings at his ante-chamber begging for
vacant thrones, and at the head of thousands
of men whose destinies were suspended on
his arbitrary pleasure, had time to converse
with books.
And young men who ale confined to labor
or business even twelve hours in day, may
take two hours OF what is left for study, and
which will amount to two months in a year.
Is that nothing? Ask Elihu Burrit. Ask
Simpson, the great mathematician. Ask
Herschel, the first of astronomers. Simpson
worked at the weaver's loom, and Herschel
was poor fifer boy in the army.
Let your own experiment of what can be
done in one year settle the question, whether
to acquire useful information by regular and
hard study, be acticable or desirable.

THE FALLEN LEAVES.

We stand amid the fallen leaves,
Young children at our play,
And laugh to see the yellow things.
Go rustling on their way:
Right merrily we hunt them down,
The autumn winds and we,
Nor pause to gaze where snowdrifts lie.
Or sunbeams gild the tree;
With dancing feet we leap along,
Where withered boughs are strown,
Nor past nor future checks our song,
The present is our own.
We stand among tn e fallen leaves
In youths enchanted SPRING
When hope-which wearies at the last
First spreads its eagle wing:
We tread with steps of conscious strength
Beneath the leahess trees, ,..
And the color kindles in our cheek,
AS blows the winter breeze.
When gazing towards the cold grey sky,
Clouded with snow and rain,
We wish the old year Ill past by,
And the young spring come again.
We stand among the fallen leaves,
In manhood's naughty prime,
When first our pausng hearts begin
To love the oden time;
And as we gaze, we sigh to think
How many year hath past,
Since meath those cold and faded trees,
Our footsteps wandered last
And old companions, now, perchance,
Estranged, forgot or dead,
Come round us, as those autumn leaves,
Are crushed beneath our tread.
We stand among the fallen leaves,
In our own autumn day,
And totteling on with feeble steps,
Pursue our cheerless way
We look not back-too long ago,
Hath all we loved been lost,
Nor forward, for we may not live
To see our new hopes crossed,
But on we go--the SUMS faint beam
A feeble warmth imparts,
Childhood without its oys return,
The present fills our hearts,

IA BEAUTIFUL INcIDENT.-On a fine sum.
mer's day, clergyman was called to preacl
in town in Indiana, to a young Episcopal
congregation. AT the close of his discourse
he addressed his young hearers in some
such words as these, Learn that the pre-

dency TO eternity. The present is linked tc

table, in the animal, and in the moral world

than man, builds lis own sepulchre, from
whence in time, by kind of resurrection,
it comes forth new creature in almost
angelic form. And now, that which was
hideous is beautiful. and that which crawled
flies, and that which fed on comparatively
gross food, sips the dew and revels in the
rich pastures, an emblem of that paradise
where flows the river of life, and where

ye are more negligent than worms, and that

your path, remember that it whispers in its

With this the preacher closed his dis
course; but to deepen the impression, a but

alike the sun and an atom in its course,

YANKEE RovERs.-At the New England
dinner at Washington, on the 22d ult., Judge
Woodbury. said:
cat this moment an emigrant from the
shores of the Winnepiseogee Lake in New
Hampshire, holds high rank in the Navy Of
Russia. Another from the same state, has
manufactured cannon for the Sublime Porte,
in tho dock yards and armories of Constan-
tinople; and within month | parted with
one of her hardy and elligent mechanics,
on his way to Mexico, where he and his ia
mily have built cotton manufactures, more
than FIVE hundred miles west Of the capital
of Montezuma, on rivers that tumble into
the Pacific. Ask, likewise, who established
the great stage lines in that kingdom, and
you will find that it was another emigrant
from the mountains of the Granite State,
and that the carriages which now run over
the ground where Cortez marched to victory
were built either on the Merrimack or the
Hudson"

WOLF CHASE AND CoMBAT.-Two Rocky
Mountain wolves escaped from their cage in
the managere of Herr Driesbach, at Zanes-
vile, Ohio, on the llh; and the Gazette
gives the following account Of the conflict
to secure them:-
AT the time, there we're four men in the
building, Herr Dresbach, Paul Morgan,
Abraham Sinner, ard Arthur Crippen; but
accustomed as they were to such animals,
they thought only of saving the smaller ami
mails that were fastened in differend parts Of
the building, without apprehendng personal
danger TO themselves. Crippen ran out Of
the building 10 get pitchfork, when closing
the door after him, it fastened itself, which
kept him out. Morgan fastened to take care
Of the riding monkey, when one ofthe wolves
attached him, and got him down, and as
Sinner ran TO his assistance, he was attacked
and overpowered by the other wolf. AT
this moment Driesbach was the only one
disengaged, and picking up chair, he
dashed it TO pieces, to obtain round for a
club. With this as one blow he disabled
the wolf that had attacked Sinner, but the
other held with death grip, and required
repeated blows; nor did he relnquish the
attack until he was knocked dead The
disabled one was afterwards shot The men
were badly bitten, and had they been alone,
would inevitably have been killed, for one ol
them was already fanting.

THE MANDARIN AND THE ENG
TJSH ADV

The degraded position of females in China
is we'll known. Nothing astonishes the Chi
namen who visit our merchants at Hongkong
so much as the Difference which is paid by
our countrymon to their ladies', and the
position which the latter are permitted to
hold in society. The very servants express
their disgust at seeing our ladies permitted
to sit at table with their lords, and wonder
how men can so far forget their dignity.
A young English merchant recently took
his youthful wife with him to Hongkong
where the young couple were visited by 8
wealthy mandarin. The latter regarded the
lady attentively and seemed TO dwell witt
delight on her movements. When she a
length left the apartment he said TO the hus
band, in imperfect English.
"What you give for that wifey wife o
yours?"
"Oh,' replied the husband, laughing at tht
singular error of his visitor, "two thousanc
dollars" This our merchant thought woulc
appear to the Chinese rather high figure
but he was mistaken.
"Wel," said the wandarin, taking out his
book with an air OF business, "spose you give
her TO me, give you five thousand dollars >
1t was difficult to say whether the young
merchant was more amazed or amused: but
the grave air ofhe Chinaman convinced him
that he was in earnest, and he was compel
led, therefore, 10 refuse the offer with as
much placidity as he could assume. The
mandarin wac however nressinU and went
as high as seven thousand dollars. The
merchant, who had no previous notion Of
the value Of the commodity which he had
taken out with him, was compelled at length
to declare that Englishmcn never sold their
wives after they once came in their posses
sion, an assertion which the Chinaman was
slow to believe. The merchant afterwards
had hearty laugh with his young wife, when
he told her that he had just discovered hel
full value, as the mandarin had offered him
seven thousand dollars for her.--MaH.

GERMANY.-Fram all parts of the venera-
BILE Vaterland, great preparations are making
by large bodies of the people TO emigrate to
this country. 1t is estimated that $4,000
will come over within the next 4 months,
chiefly from the agricultural districts. We
are glad of this. They make the best o
citizens. BY bringing our waste lands into
cultivation, they add immensely TO the COM
merce of this great city, and our national
wealth. And Germany is the country from
whence we drive many of our noblest maxims
of law and government, our love of liberty
and our fre-side virtues. Even our familiar
words that most strongly express the social
feelings-wife, mother, father, brother, sis
ter, friend, home, freedom, are all of German
orign.-N. Y. Paper.

FREE TRADE-The Cincinnati Herald
talks like book-and very good and very
profound book, too-about free trade. Here
is specimen of its manner OF treating this
subject
Protective Tariffs are necessarily selfish
and exclusive, inconsistent with the univer-
sal philanthropy Of Christianity, and ever
fruitful of i'll blood between nations which
are identified in interest, and ought to be, in
sympathies and policy They place the
various powers of the world in state of COM
mercial war, the results of which are, mutual
jealousies, envyings, dangerous collisions,
watching over each other for evil, national
captiousness, universal IstmaelitiSm. Free
trade is the law of Christianity as well as of
Common Sense, and if adopted, universally,
would do more to hasten the advent of Uni
versal Peace, than all other causes combined
of course, excepting the great Gospel of
Peace itself.
The United States and Great Britain are
the Two greatest commercial powers in the
world. They stand as the representatives, Of
that form Of civilization, the Anglo-Saxon,
which, we believe, is the most robust, most
fruitful in blessings, best adapted to the de-
velopement of all the faculties of man, and
the establishment of the principle of self
government, and withal, is more widely diff
fused than any other. Were these two great
powers, thus situated, to take the lead in the
policy of Free Trade, no opposing policy
could long stand before them. The world
would soon be relieved from those burthens
upon its energies and advancement, which,
when viewed Alright, are as absurd as all those
foolish enactmens in times pas, by which
government sought to manufacture the man
ners, morals, and consciences of the people.
After reading the above, we cease to
wonder that the wings rather dislike the
