main-spring-of success in bust
ness. Below we make some OK
tracts touching upon this point,
which we take from. "The
Road to Wealth." an excellent
pamphlet by Mr. V. Ii. Palmer,
to which we call the attention Of
our business mcn-Cccil Whig.

OLD Virginia has been called ''the Mo-
ther Of Statesmen, y and in the better days
of the Republic she was deserving of the
eulogium. In later times under the mis-
government of BODY Of abstract politi-
cians-men who measure the capacity of
Governments by their limited statures as
men,-the sceptre has departed from the
Old Dominion, and Virginia, as was said
of Scotland by DR.. Johnson, upon the &C.
casion of his visit to the Hebrides, has
become a new State---To GO FROM
With vast and magnificent resources,
washed by the Ocean and the Ohio, divi-
deJ by noble rivers, with mountain trea-
sures with a productive CLINE, rich soil
and wide spread boundaries, she is, what
she is,-one Of the oldest and largest
states in the Union, and yet behind some
of the youngest and smallest in wealth,
In enterprise, and in public prosperity
Nevertheless Virginia has history of
which we feel proud.-a history ident-
fed with MANY of the best. and we are
sorry TO add, the worst Administrations
from George Washington to John Tyler,
-"Hypeion 10 Satyr,"-the extreme
of human greatness and the smallest of
bigmy politicians. Virginia indeed as
we read her, like some of the Republics
Of the old world, lives more in the past
than the present. Still we remember the
names of Washington and Marshall, the
great Statesman and the profound Jurist,
OF Jefferson and Madison, the author Of
the declaration Of Independence, and the
great man in the Convention which fra
med the Constitution, Of Monroe, the
good President, of Benjamin Harrison, of
Richard Henry Lee, foremost in the
cause Of Liberty, Of Henry Clay, of Will
liam III. Harrison, western men, though
Virginia born,-and can never be indifler-
ent TO soil where so many distinguished
Patriots were born, and where the obse-
quies of so many have been performed.
The present war with Mexico recalls
the name OF another Virginia born, though
early trsnsplanied TO the west aud south.
We speak Of course Of ZACHARY TAY-
LoR,-a man who at an early age devclo-
ped rare qualities Of character, but who
only recently has presented his name con-
spiculously aud admiringly before the
whole country. AS occasions are made
To bring forth extraordinary qualities Of
character, so the war with Mexico has
shown Gen. Taylor to be man equal to
the greatest emergency. Poorly suppor-
led al home, upon distant scene of SER
vice, and with host of enemies all a.
round him, he has shown both courage
sad skill quite unsurpassed in the militia
r. history Of the country.--and may we
nol add, without hoas,ing for ollr people,

Judea's summer day went down,
When 10! from vale and plain,
Around the Heaven Healer throng'd
a sick and sorrowing train.
The pallid brow--the hectic cheek
The cripple bent with care
And he whose soul dark demons lash'd
To foaming rage, was there.
lie raised has hand-the lame man lea2'd
The blind forgot his woe.i
And with a startling rapture, gaz'd
On Natures glorious show.
Up from his bed of misery rose
The paralytic pale.
And the loat.l'd Icper dared once more,
His fellow-man 10 hail.
Mark-on the arm Of pitying love
The lunatic reclin'd,
While unaccustom'd words of praise
Relieved his struggling mind.
The mother to her idiot boy
The name of Jesus taught,
Who thus, with sudden touch, had fred
The chaos of his thought.
For all that sad, imploring train,
He heard ere evening iell,
And speechless JOY that night was born
In many lowly cell.
ERE EVENING FELL!-Oh! we who find
The chills of age descend,
And with the lustre of your locks,
The almond blossoms blend.
Yeti have not DER an erring life
With deep repentance griev'd
But left the safety of the soul
Unstudied-unachiey'd
Before the hopeless shades Of night
Distil their baleful dew,
Haste !-heed the Heavenly Healer's call,
Whose mercy waits for You.

THE NEWSPAPERS.

1t was saying OF the renowned DIR.
FRANKLIN, that he never took up news
paper, but that he discovered something
in it that he did not know before, and
which it was profitable and interesting to
him to learn; SO we can say there is no
paper published, which does not contain,
either in its editorial or select department,
matters or sentiments which have living
interest, and which plead with mute but
touching eloquence for an unmarried re-
cord and an enduring existence.

A LITTLE WORD.

A little word in kindness spoken,
A motion or a tear,
Has often healed heart that's broken,
And made friend sincere.
A word, look, has crushed TO earth,
Full many budding flower,
Which, had a smile but owned its birth,
Would bless life's darkest hour.
Then deem it not an idle thing,
A pleasant word to speak;
The face you wear, the thoughts you bring,
A heart may heal or break.

men armed to the teeth, from the two
shores of the river.
The battles of the 9Th and 9th OF May,
Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, the seige
and capitulation of Monterey. Buena Wis
ia, the great triumph Of the war, are oc-
currences that bring with the naming Of
them, the remembrance of the exploits
performed, and their own proper refec-
tions. General Taylor was the master
mind which directed all this,-and whe-
ther in the midst of his columns upon the
plains of battle, or in the tented field in
the repose Of peace, or quietly recording
the victory of his army, or remembering
the dead who have fallen around him, in
joy for success, in sympathy for affiiction,
in the endurance of hardships, he has
been true man, and true soldier. Mo-
desty and bravery in all his conduct and
correspondence, have ever shone conspi-
cuously together, and we can say of him
heartily and truly,-though he is not our
best and favorite man for the first civil Of
fee in the gift of the People,-that no
man ever performed his official duties with
more promptness, with more grace and
brilliancy, or with more success, than Ia
chary Taylor. As soldier, he whom
the poet pronounced
'The foremost man of all this world"
was not above him, as prompt. ready,
skilful, honorable Chieftain. He is not
as Cesar was, proud, ambitious, ,-and
what the Roman excelled him in genius,
Taylor makes up in the mild behavior
and humility of his character.

= PURIFICATION.--ltis is q settled creed In all
correct medical jurisprudence that the blood
is kept free from impurities the whole system must

that sickness, with its concontant train Of evils, is

caution are therefore necessary. and the system,

"There are other ways Of aiding an

dishearten the patriotic armies of our

When with this view, (and it can be
