Thought is the electricity ofthe brain;

1t dashes through the elements Of fire,

Alone, for she has voluntarily become

Curious Historical Fact,

An old gentleman, named Frazier, i.

under Washington's command. He is
probably the last survivor ofthat bloody
day, and is over 100 years of age
This veteran, it is stated, gives a new
version of a part of the transactions of
the day. He says he had two brothers
with him in the battle, who were both
officers; that Braddock, during the hot.
test OF the contest, probably in an infu.
rated state of mind, ordered one of
them to charge with his men upon a
certain dangerous point Of the invisible
enemy's line, which he refused; that

with his sword and that the brother Of
Frazier then levelled a musket at Brad.

SARSAPARILLA AND WILD CHERRY
PILLS
From the Lancet, .August 30. ls45.

From the Lancet, august 30, ls45.
Or. LIE Roy has most happily succeeded IN COM
bining Wild Cherry and Sarsaparilla with other
vegetable ingredients, SO as to produce a medicine
at once tonic and purgative, the only perfect dis
covery of The kind ever made. Their great pecu-
liar excellence, and that which distinguishes them
ram all other purgatives il, that their operation is
followed by no reaction. Their unrivaIled purify
ing and purgative properties, tor which they are
indebted to the essence Of SarsapariIla 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 cathartics,
but on the contrary strengthen them into action.-
Thus all other purgatiye medicines produce more
or less subsequent costiveness, and sluggishness of
the gastric juice, while DR.. lie Roy's Pills leave
all the machinery of the system full of life and &C.
tivity, and the bowels open and natural. Hence
writes DR.. Cheeseman, they are the only active |
purgatiye which | can with confidence,
and without alarm; for they remove nothing but
what oughtto be removed-neither rack nor strain |
no apathy nor debiIitstion- 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 a rapidity almost miraculous-lies in
the publication of the blood. Here thew not only
altogether unrivalled, but fill up the measure
Of desire. They at once arrest the formation al
bad blood. by removing all impurities from the
:hyle, Of which the blood is formed; and more.
aver keep it clean, by toning and strengthening
he digestive organs, so as to be able to exclude
rom it all matter OF an innutricious nature; and
hey purify the blood already in circulation; and
lever cease operation until it is entirely free from
very noxious particle, and full of health, life and
igor.
The above Pills are to be had Of the following
agents.

aGood Bye"
FAREWELL FAREWELL is often heard

FAREWELL farewell! is often heard
From the lips Of those who part;
It's a whispered tone tits a gentle word,
But it springs not from the heart.
It may serve for the lovers closing lay,
To be sung meath a summers sky;
But give me the quivering lips that say
The honest words-"Good bye!"
Adieu! adieu! may greet the ear,
In the guise of courtly speech;
But when we leave the kind and dear;
IT'S not what the soul would teach.
Whenever we grasp the hands Of those
We would have forever nigh,
The fame of friendship bursts and glows
In the warm, frank words-"Good bye!"
The mother sending forth her child
To meet with cares and strife.
Breathes thro' her tears, her doubts and fears
For the loved ones future life.
No cold "adieu," no '.farewell" lives
Within her closing sigh;
But the deepest sob Of anguish gives
"God bless thee, boy! Good bye!"
Go: watch the pale and dying one.
When the glance has lost its beam
When the brow is cold as the marble stone,
= And the world a passing dream;
And the latent pressure of the hand,
The look of The closing eye,
Yield what the heart must understand,
A long-a last "Good bye!"

Stephen Girard.

The following capital anecdote illus
trative OF the pucuilariiies Of the late
Stephen Girard, Of Philadelphia, is from
the New Bedford Bulletin; we have
not seen it published before:
Mr.. G. had a lavorile clerk, one who
when at the age of twenty one years.
expected Mr.. G. 10 say something TO
him in regard TO his future prospects.
and perhaps lend him a helping hand in
starting him in the world. But Mr.. G.
said nothing, carefully avoiding the sub
ject of his escape from minority. AT
length, after the lapse of some weeks,
the clerk mustered courage enough to
ADDRESS Mr. u. upon the subject.
VI suppose, sir" said the clerk, 81
am now free; and | thought | would say
something to you as to my future course
What do you think | had better do"'
"Yes ! know you are Free" said Mr..
u land my advice 10 you, is that you
60 and learn the cooper trade"
This announcement well nigh threw
the clerk off the the track, but recover
his equilibrium, he said if Mr.. G. was in
earnest he would do so.
III am in earnest" said Mr.. G.; and
the clerk, rather hssi,atingly, sought
n Of the best coopers, agreed upon
the terms of apprenticeship, and went
at 1t in earnest. ''ln process of time,'
the young cooper became master of his
trade, and could make as good a barrel
as any other cooper. He went and
told Mr.. G.. that he had graduated with
all the honors of the craft, and was rea.
dy TO set up his business; at which the
the old man seemed much gratified, and
told him 10 make three Of the best bar
reis he could get up. The young coop
er selected the choicest materials, and
soon put in shape and finished his three
barrels, and wheeled them up TO the
old mans counting room. Mr.. G. said
barrels were hrst-rate, and deman-
ded the price.
"One dollar" said the clerk, sis as
as | can live by" ,
'Cheap enough" said his employer; a.,
snake out your bill and present it, .
"A md now comes the cream Of the :
whole. Mr.. G. drew a check for 500, !

There take that. and invest il in the !
possible way. and il you are unfor. I

LIVERWORT AND A

A safe and certain cure for Con

Blood, Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Pair

Cough, and all Pulmonary Affections
In the whole catalogue of remedies for Pulmo.
nary Affections, there is not one so universally
known, and whose virtues have been SO thoron.b
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 il sue
cessfully 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
medicalpractice.
Tar was a principal ingredient and mainly de-
pended upon in the remedies used by the ceiebra-
ted Doct. Cooper, who treated a great number of
consumptive cases with entire success during a
long and extensive practice.
1t is admitted that as a cure for consumption,
Tar is without an equal in the list OF known sub.
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 proper
have been adjusted with strict reference to
'heir chemical properties.
