FEVERS.

Fevers, like every other form of disease
are only an EFFORT OF NATURE to
expel from the body something that is OPP
posed to health; it is merely a struggle be-
tween the good and bad humors for sup
remacy, and the commotion which ensues
is called Fever. The usual symptoms
of a fever are heaviness, langonr, anxiety,
signing and %yawning, with alternate fits of
heat and cold. After which the patient
complains of pain in the head and back,
thirst, difficulty of breathing, pain in the
limbs, a sense of fulness about the region
of the stomach, nausea and sickness, with
sometimes vomiting Of bilious matter.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills will be
found peculiarly adapted to the cure of
all kinds of Fever, because they not only
thoroughly cleanse the stomach and bow
els from all bilious hu,nors, but they
open those excretory vessels which empty
into the bowels; and consequently the i'm
purity contained in the circulation (Which
is the cause of all disordered motions of
the blood called Fevers) is thrown into
the bowels, from whence it is carried off
10y the regular alvine discharges.
In using Wright's Indian Vegetable
Pills for Fevers, the only care necessary
is to have the medicine operate copiously
by the bowels. If the symptoms are ur-
gent, from four to eight pills should be
taken night and morning until the fever
has subsidized, after which smaller doses,
once in twenty-four hours, will be sufi-
cient to restore the body to a state of sound

while their maneuvres and flights sonle-

The Heroic Daughter

In the town of Stonington, during the
last war, resided widow with an only
daughter. When the attack on the place
was made by British naval force, IN at.
tack which is memorable in the annals Of
war; this widow was dying. All the 9th.
er inhabitants, gathering their household
goods, fled into the country. Only one
house was occupied by the dying woman
and her faithful daughter, who refused to
leave her. Repeatedly balls passed through
the house. Shells exploded all around
them The thunder of the cannon shook
the foundations ofthe land. But the thun.
der of the cannon might not prevail TO re-
pei the sleep of death, which stole as calm
ly over lip and eye, and Iell as gently on
the old woman's heart, as II il had b,ea

Chariiy--Its Reward

What is nobler or holier than Charity
Charity looketh kindly on the erring; she
entreateth the misguided without chiding,
and leads back the guilty to the path OF
rectitude. forgetting the sins that are past.
Charity mocketh not at the proud or the
humble; she perceiveth that each has a
cause for his ways, and if she lendeth ad-
vice to either, it is with soft voice, and
modest deincanor. Not that Charity self
abaseth herself, or doubteth her own
strength, but because she knoweth that the
heart Of man is stubborn, and may be
entreated, when it will not be driven
Charity seeketh reward in the thing she
doeth. She cares not for words OF ap-
plause; her work. and the payment there
for, cometh of God. Slow to reprove, she
is swift to entreat, and to bless, and her
footsteps are hallowed with the joy OF re-
cancellation and repentance Charity
helpeth to save souls-most Of all the vr-
tues, she helpe!h to bless the world
Peace goeth with her, and the wagging Of
evil tongues ceaseth in her presence
Who is there that needeth not Charityl
and he who needeth, shall he not give it
in return? Holy Charity! she it is who,
trusting in God, casteth her bread upon
the waters, to find it tenfold after many
days. .aIlrm !.

five thousand embrace all which are ne
cessary for general purposes. The won
derful discrepancy between the number Of
spoken words and that Of the written char
acters by which they are represented, .re-
suits from the fact that the spoken words,
being SO very few, each one has great
variety Of Specifications, which are distin-
guished from each other, in speech, by the
connection Of the sentence, and by other
special contrivances, while, in writing.
each distinct significaton is represented
by different character
The characters Of the Chinese language
recording to the lecturer, are partly sym.
bo)ic and partly phonetic; and single
one, by variations and additions. often
represents hundreds of ideas For in
stance, the rude form of the tree, which is
used for illustrations, by variations of po.
stion and additions, represents a hundred
and fifty ideas, and many Of the analo-
gies between the character and idea are
exceedingly curious and interesting. A
consideration of the subject carries our
thoughts back TO those remote ages when,
to the wise simplicity Of the first races of
mankind, all nature was illuminated by
bright spiritual significance, and each
object that met the eye was taken for some
thing more real in the domain of the soul
ITSELF The fact, too, that in the Chinese
language there is great predominance Of
monosyllables, is interesting to those who
can trace the connection between this fact
and state of people who have advanced
but little way into the region of abstract
thought
1t seems like special providence that
just now, when, by our settlements on the
Pacific, we have become, as it were, near
neighbors to the Chinese, and must, by
commercial and other intercourse. exert
vast influence upon them, key should be
furnished for unlocking the mysteries of
their hitherto almost unintelllgble Ian
guage.-Gem Of the Prarie.
