How beautiful world were ours
But for the pale and shadowy one,
That treadelh on its pleasant flowers,
And stalketh in its sun!
This most excellent lady, than whom purer
a kinder, better woman never lived on EARTH
was torn from her beloved family and friends
by that all conquering malady, Pulmonary Con
sumption.
Bitter indeed was the sorrow of the writer
when, amid that large group who followed her
to the grave, in sadness and in tears, he saw her
remains consigned to the narrow house. But
our religion teaches us 10 remember, and oh
there is Joy in the memory! that there is above
us beautiful realm where death has no EN-.
Pire-a far off spirit land, where the good and
holy shall wander in new and undying lille, and
where on the great resurrection morn, when the
spirit of the Lord God shall breathe upon all
the families Of the dead, they who sleep in Jesus,
shall start up and stand on their feet, an ex.
ceeding great army. B. H. T.

This Medicine has been before the public for a
number Of years, and the beneficial effects so fully

Bilious Fever, Typhus Fever, Winter Fever and
Scarlet Fever all yield to the use of this Medi.
cine, and are cured by this system Of practice in
shorter time, and with much more certainty
than by any other system that has been recon-
mended. Each box contains twenty.four pills,

Indian Queen Vegetable Sugar Coated Pill.
A RE the latest and most important discovery
IA of the age in the form of popular FAMILY
MEDICINE, for they possess extraordinary viz.
tues hitherto unknown in the shape of pills
They are of two knds-frst, the Anti Bilious
second, the Tonic Pills.
THE ANTT-BILIOUS PILLS
Are the safest and most eficacious purgative ever
used in bilious fevers, ague and fevers, dropsy,
dyspepsia, rheumatism, infammatory fever, and
all diseases peculiar to the Western and Southern
States. They are
Purely VEGETABLE,
And free from all the poisonous and corroding
effects Of mineral medicines which are so indis.
criminately used in chs and fever, and other dis.
eases of the
SOUTH AND WEST
Their virtues consist in their mild yet searching
effects upon the inner coat of the stomach and
bowels, and upon the secretions of the liver skin
and kidneys. thereby cleansing
THE ALIMENTARY CA NAL
OF all offending and viscid hulnors, exciting the
liver to prompt and healthful action, carrying off
the bile and other
IMPURITIES OF THE BLOOD
and restoring the regular motion of the bowels,
overcoming
THE BILIOUS CONDITION
OF the system, producing moisture of the skin,
cleansing the fur from the tongue, removing head
ache and pain of the back, and securing that free
dom from febre connections which invites to
sleep and ends in n
RESTORA 7TON TO HEALTH.
After the stomach and bowels have been cleanssd
of their
FOUL HUMORS.
The liver drained of its STAGNANT BILE, and
the active force of the chill fever subdued then
THE TONIC PILLS
Require to be freely used. These pills act LIKE A
fha oh lie favo 4, tLo
other disordered functions of the body, by their
soothing and strengthing action upon the
NERVOUS SYSTEM,
thus guarding it against the poisonous and para
lying effects of that
MONSTER
Which lives in the atmosphere. carries death and
destruction to thousands and tens of thousands,
in new countries under the form of
MARSH MIASHATA,
Which is the first cause of cbills and fever, and
all bilious diseases, and is the product of
VEGETABLE FERMENTA TON
Caused by the union of heat and moisture in all
low and marsby situations during the summer
months, and which the close researches of the
MEDICAL FACULTY
Have heretofore been unable to unfold. 1t has
been our good fortune to discover
VEGETABLE REMEDY
Against this prevalent and all-pervading poison
which we constantly inhale with the atmosphere
we breathe during the summer months.
OUR TONIC PILLS
Have been found TO have complete and astonishing
power over this
MIASMATTC POISON.
And hence the great success and uncommon popu-
larity which they have obtained in all the West
e-n and Southern States.

Singular Deuelopments-but True.-A
writer in Cist's Advertiser, in giving sketch.
es Of the "First Settlement OF Ohio" states
what has long been believed, that Burr and
his accomplices, on their trial in Virginia,
we're acquitted. Such is not the CASE
Another writer 10 tina, valuable paper states
the facts to be as follows, which are strict.
ly true. He says:
Snow, by referring TO the records Of the
Circuit Court OF the United States for Vir-
GINA, he will find that Burr and his accompli,
ces were not acquitted; the Court decided,
on motion OF counsel, that they had not
committed an overt act within the jurisdic-
ton Of Virginia, and ordered that they
should give bond to appear before the Cir
cult Court Of the United States for Ohio.
The Grand Jury in Ohio found bills, but
there was singular omission in the bondi
although it required them TO appear before
the Circuit Court in Ohio, ii did not specify
when. Awaiting themselves OF this omis'
s;on, they did not appear, and the case has
nat vet been tried, as will be found by an
examination of the records"
