of The Lungs.
VENHIS Medicine is purely VrGrrABLE-the
L resutno of mere theory and speculation,
but of much study and research, during years
of suffering and debility; and the inventor
having succeeded in curing himself, and hav-
ing tested its efficacy upon thousands of ind-
viduals in New England and the Western
States, feels great confidence in recommend
ing it to the public as a safe and efficient REM
edy. 1t operates most conspicuously IN re-
moving all morbid iTritattOaS from the LuegS
and Pulmonary Organs, keeps the cough loose,
promotes Erpeetordtion, renders che breathiRg
eaSY, and induces u degree of quiet to the sys-
tenn, peculiarly grateful TO the patient, after
having experienced days and nights of restless
nquietude and suffering.
1t has at least one peculiar advantage over
most other articles in common use; it is FREE
FROM STRONG oPIATEs, and POWERFUL AsTRIN-

CAssIUs NJ. CLAWS IDEAS OF Work The
following, from c. Ne Clay's paper, shows
that Mr. Clay understands the philosophy of
work:
Uork-Fdim not. There are times when
a heaviness comes over the heart, and we feel
as ifthere We're no hope. Who has not felt

There arisc doubts in the human mind
which sink into lethargy, wrap us in gloom,
aud make us think il were bootess to attempt
any thing. Who has not experienced them?
WOrk. That is the cure. Task your intellect
stir up your tcelings-rousc the soul--2o-
aud these doubts, hanging like heavy cloud
upon the mountain, will scatter and disap-
pear, and leave YOU IN sunshine and open day.
There comes suspicion TO the best men.
aud fears about the hottest efforts, and we
stand like one chained. Who has not felt

influence in the Reformation Every country
in Europe, whose language was derived from
the Latin, after the excitement passed away,
adhered TO Rome; but the nations whose Ian
guage was of Teutonic origin became Protes-
tant. The language of the Irish was ofPhp-
nician origin, but the pope had kept them UNI
der his dominion, servilc subjects ofhis will,
by sending multitudos of Italian priests into
Ireland to guard them against Protestant in
huoncc, and above all against Protestant
school. He had thus, by great care, kept
them under Roman influence. Roman Cath
olics are now establishing schools all over this
country. Ifthey are really such friends of
education, why do they not establish schools
in Italy, aud in Ireland, where millions can
not read? Nay, they resort to this system of
education here from Jesuitcal policy, not
because they are the friends of education;
Rome never encouraged general education;t
is her maxim, that ignorance is the mother
ofdevotion.
lie said it was admitted that the priests
here were learned men; they were picked
men for important stations of service; but in
Italy many fthem could not read the liturgy,
and they made some painfully ludicrous mis-
takes, such, for instance, as reading over II
dying man the prayer for the cXorcism of
grasshoppers, instead Of the prayer ofeXtremc
JUNCTION; which he once witnessed friar to
do, clothed in his gorgeous robes, and attend
ed by surpced boys, bearing lighted tapers,
