HOTEL FOR HNVAEHEDS
AT PITTSBURGH.
DrS. Speer and Kuhn.

ME object OF this establishment Is
III to supply want greatly felt by re-
spectacle travellers on our western high
ways-by residents. without family, ta-
ken sick-and by patients from the sur
rounding towns and country who resort
to this place for relief from surgical and
other diseases. Such have often suffered
from the want of the various comforts
and attentions so necessary and agreeable
to the sick, and from careless and un-
faithful nurses; and been subjected to
heavy and unreasonable charges.
Invalids will here be provided with
constant, faithful and comfortable atien-
dance, snd at rate much below the asu-
al charges.
While the care Of both physicians will
be extended to every variety of disease,
il is intended by DIR. Speer, to give spe-
cal attention TO
ALL SURGICAL DISEASES,
PARTICULARLY TO
DISEASES OF THE EYE.
To these branches of his profession
he has given large share Of his atten-
ion for the last twenty-five years, and
he will continue to devote TO them the
experience acquired by constant prac-
iice during tha. time.
The Hotel for Invalids is not an exper
iment. Its establishment is suggested
not only as necessary TO supply an evil
dent want in this city, in the entire ab-
sence of any special provision for the
sick, bul is warranted also by the success
Of similar institutions at Cincinnati and
New Orleans--.he former under the care
Of Drs. Taliaferro. Marshall and Strader
the latter under that of DIR. Stone.
The building selected for the purpose
is situated a, the corner of Federal and
Robinson streets. in Allegheny city. ad.
joining the city Of Pittsburgh. II is
commodious and roomy, anl furnished
with all accommodations necessary for
he sick.

A REVOLUTIONARY INCIDENT.
s,t BY W. r. ROGERS, JR.

ff.
The devoted patriotism and indomi.
table courage exhibited by American
women, during the struggle for in
dependence, has been the eloquent
theme Of many an able writer, and the
subject Of many gifted pen. Mum.
berless were the instances in which
these noble women, unawed by terrible
threats and cowardly insults, proved
how immeasurably superior they were,
in mental and moral courage, TO their
base and heartless oppressors.
Actuated by sincere and unbound
ed love for their country, and their
country's welfare, they suffered priva-
tion and hardship, without murmur,
and bore up under trials the most se-
we're, without complaint. To their de-
termined courage, and unceasing ef.
forts, freedom owes much. Their fer
vent prayers, and when necessary,
their individual example, had an un-
bounded influence with the spirited
colonist, and their approving smiles,
and heartfelt thanks rendered our fore
fathers doubly strong in their determi.
nation to throw off the calling yoke Of
British tyranny.
Ia all ages Of the world, the influ-
enos of woman over people engaged
IA any great and important undertaking
has been felt and ackno wlsdged. More
especially in cases Of the invasion Of a
country by 2 foreign power, has il
made itself apparent. The invaders
knew this, and against them directed
their strongest efforts.
The fact is q notorious one, that the
American females were brutally treat.
cd, wantonly insulted, and in many in
stances, cruelty wronged by the British
:
soldiers, the subordinate officers, and
often by those Of the high authorities.
BY a few Of the commanders, 'tis
true, they were treated with the deli
cate consideration and gentle care
which is ever their due, but many 9th,
err, 10 their everlasting shame be it re-
msmbersd, acted a. though literally
devoid Of all the ennobling sentiments
Of the human heart, and totally lost to
AL feeling, except the eradication ol
thsir own base passions and vindictivs
malice.

Gems Of Thought.

We may be as good as we please, il
we please to be good. .n
None are so empty, as those who are
full Of themselves.
A sure way to please in company is
to seem pleased with your company.
Politeness consists in being easy
yourself and making others so. ai
A liar is coward to man and a bravo
to his God.
1t is easier to praise people into vir.
tue than to rail them out Of vice.
A good conscience is 10 the soul
what health is to the body. sa
Content is natural wealth, and desire
for luxury is artificial poverty.
The poor are more seldom sick for
want of food, than the rich are by the
excess of it. n eoaal 81
Those who are of the opinion that
money will do every thing. may be
reasonably suspected to do every thing
for money. a aal l e
Words are like arrows, and should
not be shot at random. e#ga
Those who blow the Goals Of others
strife, may chance to have the sparks
fly in their own faces. .s#G
Keen glances of censure proceed
generally from dark, involved temper
like flashes Of lightning from gloomy
sky. f9i6 n.. s Ht
The first requisite in conversation is
truth; the second, sense; the third,
good humor; the fourth, wit.
Few take care to live ,oeli, but many
tolive long; thought is in every body's

power to do the latter. l@ tas
