and as they have proved false TO their

The indirect mode Of levying the taxes
by duty on imports, prevents the mass Of
the people from readily pereeiving the
amount they pay, and has enabled the few,
who are thus enriched, and who seek to
WELD the political power Of the country,
TO deceive and delude them. Were the
taxes collected by direct levy upon the
people, as j, IS the case IN the States, this
could not occur.

is common remark among husband.
men thot he who works with his hands
gets double the amount of wolk out Of
them, compared with him who only
gives his orders and waits until they
are accomplished. The general must
lead on his troops to victory; he must
endanger his own life if he would in
fuse bravery into the hearts of his SOL
diers; and this principle is not inappli,

mo person should ever burn green
wood. 1t is full Of water. and much
carbon is wanted to dispel the water
contained in the wood. There is about
one fourth Of water in every cord OF
wood.
To ascertain the caloric lost, we
must find the weight of water in a cord
of wood. In his careful experiments
on the combustion Of wood, Count
Rumford proved that cord of dry
beech weighs about 2,S00 pounds
which must be three-fourhs of the
green beech; that is, a cord Of 6 cen
beech must weigh $500 pounds, or
taking the mean between one third and
one fourth. mus, be more than 4.9O0
pounds. In burning n cord of green
'bef ch, at least one thousand pounds oi
water must be evaporaled, and 1000
pound, ef water would fl three barrels
OF 80 ale gallons, or neaiIy two hogs

way may be estimated in rough way
by the quantity Of wood consumed in
-evapora,ing three barrels or two hogs
heads Of water.

DR.LE. ROYS.
sARsAPAR1LLA AND WILD CHERRY
~. ., -.-. PILLS. .,..,

"r9 From the Lancet, August 80, ls45.
DR.. lie Roy has most happily succeeded IN com
bining Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla with other
vegetable ingredients, so as TO produce medicine
at tonic and purgative, the only perfect dis
covery of the kind ever made. Their great pecu-
liar excellence, and that which distinguishes them
fran all other purgaives is, that their operation Is
followed by no reaction. Their unrivalled purify
ing and purgatve properties, tor which they are
indebted to the essence Of Sarsaparilla and other
Ingredients being controlled by their highly tonic
virtues, derived from the extract of Wild Cherry,
they do not strain the digestive organs into action,
as is the mode of operation with other cathartcs,
but on the contrary strengthen them into action
Thus all other purgative medicines produce more
or less subsequent costveness and sluggishness of
the gastric Juice, while DR. LIE Roy's Pills leave
all the machinery Of the system full of life and ac-
tivity, and the bowels open and natural. Hence,
writes DIR. Cheeseman, 'they are the only active
purgative which can recommend with confidence,
and without alarm; for they remove nothing but
what ought to be removed--neitherr rack nor strain
occasion no apathy nor debililation-and leave
the bowels free, open and vigorous But the
great virtue of DR.. LIE Roy's Pills-the virtue
which has spread their fame over the two hemis-
pheres with rapidity amost miraculous-lies in
the publication Of the blood. Here they not only
stand altogether unrivaed, but fill up the measure
of DESIRE They at once arrest the formation al
bad blood. by removing all impurities from the
chyle, Of which the blood is formed; and more
over keep it clean, by toning and strengthening
the digestive organs, so as ia be able to exclude
from it all matter OF an innutrcious nature; and
they purify the blood already in circulation; and
never cease operation until il is entirely ffeefrom
every noxious particle, and full of heakh, life and
vigor. q l'sZ tiH q" l.rlh 4

In the whole catalogue of remedies for Pulmo-
nary Affections, there is not one SO universally
known, and whose virtues have been SO thorough
ly tested as Tar. Every one knows that Tar wa
ter and Tar fumigations are among the most COM
mon remedies for colds, coughs and affections of
the lungs, which so very often end in consump-
ton.
DR.. Buchan, of England, has employed itsuc-
cessfulIy for many years. DR.. Crichton, an emf
nent physician OF Petersburg, highly recommends
a treatment in which tar Is principally employed.
This medical preparation is the result Of years
of patient and labored experiment in an extensive
dicalpractice. rs
Tar was principal Ingredient and mainly de-
pended upon in the remed les used by the celebra-
ted Doct. Cooper, who treated great number Of
consumptive cases with entire success during
long and extensive practice. .tai4.' - f9'fC
II is admitted that as cure for consumption,
Tar is without an equal in the list OF known SUBJ
Stances we will briefly call attention to the fact.
The utmost skill and care have been exercised
in preparing this medicine. to make il as concen-
trated as possible, retaining only the medical prop-
critics Of the several ingredients, and the propor-

their chemical properties. 'stl.i s,tU!E .sai
