A NEW AND PURIFIED STERNE.

We are almost tempted to exceed the limits of a
becoming diidence and declare on the sole authori
ity of our own poor judgment that the medtatve,
humorous and sentimental fiction called I" The
Caxtons," now in course of publication in Black
woods Magazine, is WORK OF GENtUs-'on of
the few that were not born to die Its resemblance
IN many points to TRIsTRAM SHANDY, suggests and
may perhaps sustain, the imputation of cQpyism but
if so, we humbly think our author has surpassed
his MASTER at least in good taste and high moral
efficiency, even if it be impossible to surpass him in
humor and pathos.
Its pictures, though shaded into each other so
naturally that they seem to-nay must-have grown
as we find them are yet each so complete that they
will bear detaching without loss of vitality or in
terest. Is not each of the following, story and
lesson by itself?

THE CHILD AND THE FIRE-FLIES.

The dimness of twilight fell upon white
cottage and its enclosure of trees and flower
ing shrubs. As the darkness increased, fire.
flies came and swarmed in the ARA shower
of living jewels.
60, how pretty! cried little blue-eyed
girl, rushing from the cottage, and spreading
her small apron to capture the glittering in
sects. Two or three were imprisoned; and,
seating herself upon the soft grass beneath
the high boughs, she carefully inspected her
booty. Suddenly, her sunny face became
clouded with disappointment; and throwing
the dull-brown creatures from her with dis
gust, she exclaimed, "They are not pretty any
more"
"Ah! my little one" said her mother,
this is but symbol of the more bitter dis
appointments that await you in life. Pleasures
will futter temrtingly around your path, but
you will grasp them but to fling them from
you, and cry, they are beautiful no more"
But, see, dearest, your released frehies, beau
tiful only upon the wing, sparkle now as
gaily as ever. Such are the enjoyments OF
earth. Learn neither to despise them, nor to
look to them for satisfying happiness; Fleet
ing and Elusive as they are, they often illu-
mine the darkness of our mortal pilgrimage,
and point our immortal yearnings to Paradise
for the perfection of bliss"

THE STREET SINGER.

L IL y L " l. l. ~
BY MARIE II. DONALDSON.
She stood on the steps of the rich mans proud dwell
ing,
And warbled song of her own native land;
And soft on the zcphyrs her paintive notes swelling
Spoke sadly of hopes she had built on the sand.
Pale pale was the cheek of that desolate maiden,
And joyous no longer the light of her eye;-
Alas that so soon her young heart should be ader
With sorrow-that hope in her bosom should die
Low in the grave lay the hopes she had cherished
Kindred and friends she no longer could claim;
Still she sang on, though her last joy had persisted
Still to the careless her song was the same.
Lonely she wanders, forgotten, forsaken,
Cold are the looks of the strangers she meets
Vainly she strives in their hearts to awaken
Some sympathy, as her sad song she repeats
Onward, press onward, thou daughter of sorrow,
Soon thou 1T be freed from the trials Of life;
Look not behind thee, nor filink of the morrow
The past and the future with troubles are rife.

perish under its searching influence instantly, and
are expelled with the mucus in which they are inn

DIR. Jayne-Dear Sir: My little son when a.
bout two months old, was seized with bowel
complaint. II continued for two weeks without
intermisson, and notwithstanding the remedies
prescribed by respectable Physician, we gave
up the child victim,as we supposed, TO fatal dis
ease. But / providentially heard Of 'sJAYNE'S
CARMINATIVE,' as an efiectual cure fer bow
ell complaint, and Immediately despatched mes
senger to town seventeen miles off for bottle
BY the Of this medicine in less than tbrty-six
hours the disease was checked, and by its con-
slant for few days, the child was restored 10
perfect health. Shortly after this, there occurred
similar case in one Of the families Of my con-
gregation. IWescribed Jayne's Carminaiiye, and
the result was a speedy cure.
The same child, owing to exposure, when re-
Gently coming up the Ohio, was attacked by that
horrible nalady the Group. We landed in the
night al Beyer Point, and when our fears were a.
larmed lest the hoarss sepulchral cough was the
forerunner Of death, we gave him teaspoonful
OF your EXPECTORAN'T, and applied some lin
Iment 10 the throat and breast; and before many
minutes the hoarseness was gone, the child breath
ed freely and slept sweetly. Owing to these cir
cumstances It cannot be wandered at why have
so high an opinion Of your medicines, and why |
advise every family 10 keep them on hard, ready
for any emergency. Respectfully yours,

Jayne,s Expectorant.

This medicine has already proved itself to be
all that it has been recommended, by those who
have given it fair test in this country, and the
demand for it increases daily. We have just
heard Of an important cure Of Asthma, which has
been effected by the use Of it, in neighboring
town--the case was that Of female who bad for
a long time been under the care Of physician but
had received no relief, and her case was consid-
cred hopeless. As last resort she purchased
bottle Of DIR. Jayne's Expectorant, which caused
her TO expectorate freely, gradually ceased her
cough, and Is rapidly restoring her to health. We
have no hesitation in saying that this preparation
Of DIR. Jayne for cure ofcoughs, colds, influenza,
asthma, consumptions, &c. is the most valuable
medicine ever offered to the American public
There is no quackery about it--Dr. Jayne is one
Of the most skiful practising physicians in Penn
sylvsnia; and wherever his various preparations
have been thoroughly tested, he is looked upon
great public benefactor.-Somcrset (Me.) jour
