WdHHinRtUH IudIVil ~ iA'1Cs
The Committee in the case Of James
Monroe VS. Aid Jackson, for, seat in
Congress, have determined on their report.
Five to three. it stands in favor of giving
Col. Monroe the seat-a party division
one member has not signed the report, on
the ground, Ibelieve, that he has not ex>
amined the case-Mr. Williams of Me.
r il is generally conceded that Col. Mons
roe should obtain the seat, and that he will
obtain it. 1t is expected that some mems
bers Of the other party will adop, the re-
port of the majority, and vote for Monroe s
right 1t is clear and incontes'ihle to i'm

THE HERALD OF TRUTH.

motives, to please the greatest number ofreaders.
Those which are not controlled by some religious
sect, or political party, or other society OfeXclu-
sives, are decidedly of the popular class, and will!
defend no cause, however good, if it be uniavor-
ably regarded by the mass; nor publish the honest
opinions Of any individual, if they are ropposed, to
the general sentiment. Hence, the pc iOdicals Of
the day, do mol maiptan an unreserved alegl-
ance 10 Truth, on the triumph of which depends
the greatest good Of the human family. The
cause OF Truth demands Journals devored to her
interests, through the pages Of which the thoughts
OF every candid mind can be brought before the
public and thoroughly canvassed.
To supply, in part, this desderatum, is the
HERALD OF TRUTH projected. 1t will be emphat-
icoly what It's name purpOrts, Herald OF Truth,
on all subjects, without reference to the interest
of any exclusive Sect, Party, or Society," or to pop
u,ar considerations,
1t will be devoteuto the interests of Religion,
Philosophy, Literature, Science and Art. 1t will
review such Of the new publications as are fsub-
stantal value, and canvass all questionable doc
times that may be published Philosophers have
demonstrated the infinite Wisdom and bOundess
BeEevolence Of God in contemr plating His Physi-
cal Universe, and 1t is time the same demonstra
lion were made in reference to the Mental world
In the former, the subIimest Order is manifest,
while in the latter, the debasement and misiries
THAT aillct mankind, indicate the deepest coniu-
tOn and disorder. He is not responsible for the
evils Of the Mental Universe, for man originated
them, and by man they can and will be removed.
The discussion OF the laws o our mental and
physical organizations, and the necessity OF obedi-
ence to them, as the only mode OF human regener-
alton, will constitute particular feature of the
Herald of Truth.
twill engage vigorously in all the Reforms Of
the day which are founded in Truth, and as it will
"hOpe all things" and "believe all things" for the
final Triumph Of Humanity over all evil, the only
limit to its aspiration will be the entire redemption
of the Human Race.
The HERALD OF Truth is published monthly, in
Cincinnati, containing eighty octave puges, neat
y printed on fine paper. 1t will comprise two
volumes annually, Of 48O pages each, and will be
offered on the following liberal terms:
One yearly subscription, $500; Two copies
per year, $500; Five copies per year, $ll00
Ten copies per year, 5000; Twenty copies per
year, $4,000 The offer of twenty copies for the
extraordinary low price Of $50, is made TO those

Can the Absent be Forgotten,


Can the absent be forgotten!
Can their memories ever die!
Where they loved, to be remembered,
AS a shadow on the sky!
Can the early ties that bound US,
Like the morning dews depart!
Forbid il heaven, for then will cease,
All truthlulness Of heart.
Can the absent be forgotten,
Though their silence we regret!
No Lethe springs from this fair earth,
BY which we can forget.
There is something in the memory
OF those we've loved and lost,
Upholds loves bark, DER Times vast sea,
However tempest tossed.
Can the absent be forgotten!
Can the lips that we have kissed
The hand that we have pressed in ours,
Be lost, and not be missed!
Can the heart that throbbed to our hearts thrOl
The cheek that sought our breast,
As the swallow, wearied from alar,
Seeks its own chosen nest.
Can all those be forgotten
As footprint on the sand,
The dew upon the hawthorn leaf,
We brush off with our hand!
Oh! no, there is a faith in ,ove,
Whose impulses are pure,
That, like tn eternal mountains, God
Created to endure!

BE UNPREJUDlCED.- Let no foolish per-
sons be so prejudced against this now truly eel.
ebrated medicine as to despise this advice; lot
it be used Immediately on pain being fell no
matter where it may be, whether in the head or
feet, whether il be in the neck or abdomen, whe-
ther arising from external or internal cause, use
the Brandreth's Pills, and rely upon it, that the
pain will go, the body will be restored to health
as soon as nature has received sufficient assis-
tance from their effect.
The quantity of impure humours discharged
from the body by the action of the Brandreth's
Pills, is replaced in the course of few hours
with new and pure blood, by the digestion of
moderate meal. By purging the body with this
medicine the whole mass of blood becomes en-
tilely purified and regenerated.
That blood is the life Of the body, | presume
is undisputed, therefore shall say that it being
the SEAT of LIFE, it must also be the seat Of dis
ease. If disease be in the blood, we should alb
stract the disease only, not the blood. 1t is the
impurities which must be removed by purgaton
to secure our health, in all states of the wealth
er, in all situations, and in all climates. The
blood, like good spirit, is always trying to ben
eft the body by its struggles TO expel impurities.
But it is not capable to effect its own puricaton
at all times: TO do this it must often have assis.
tance. When the blood is loaded with impuri-
ties, especially in this climate, the consequent
ces may be fatal, provided the blood is not ruri-
fled at once, and this is sure to be effected if
Brandreth's Pills are used.

THE RESTING PLAcE.-IIowever dark and dis.
consoIate the path of life may have been to any
man, there is an hour of deep reposo at hand,
when the body may sink into dreamcss sum.
Der. Let not the Imagination be startled, if this
resting place, instead Of the bed of down, shall
be the bed of gravel, or the lone, forgotten and
cheerIess pavement Of the tomb. No matter
where the poor remains Of weariod man may
lie, the rcpose is deep and undisturbed-
sorrowlul bosom heaves no more, the tcarS are
dried up in their fountains, the aching head is
At rest, and the stormy waves of earthly trbu-
aron roll unheedod over the places of their
graves. Let armies engagc in fearless conflict
over The very bosom of the pale nations of the
dead, not one of the sleepers shall heed the spi-
rltslirring trump, or respond 10 the rcnding
shouts of victory.
How quiet these millions slumber in the arms
Of mother curh. The voice of thunder shall
not wake thom-the loud cry Of the elements
the winds, the waves nor the tumutuous & g
ant tread Of the earthquake shall be able Il
cause an inquietude in the chambers of death
They shall rest securely even through ages
empires shall come and pass away-the las
great battle shall DO fought, and then sve
voice, at first just but heard shall rise to tenn
pest tone, and penetrate the yoiccess grave
For the trumpet shall hear its voice. There is
however, but one class Of persons who may dc
rive comfort from these retlecons--thoso onl
who have washed their robes and made lhor
white in The blood of the Lamb.
