DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.

When we talk about domestic life,
we mean one thing; when we talk about
domestic happiness we mean another.
There are ill-sorted marriages all over
the world; ones own choice, to be sure,
yet nevertheless, wretchedness is the
result. There is young Benson the
clerk-he fell in love with a seams
tress who had pretty face and good
trade. Had he continued in his clerk
ship, and she at her vest making, till
experience had taught them more Of
real life, they might have made good
steerage. But no, they must be mar.
ried and 60 to house keeping. She,
the new wife, did not know a leg ol
mutton from a shoulder ef pork; and

Natural CnriOsity.-A white crow was
taken in the Eastern part of this city
lastweek, BY Mr.. John O. Curtis. Two Of
them were seen togther, and fired upon;
and wing of one being broken, it was
taken alive. It was purchased by Mr..
Alonzo Butler, who had its wing set,
and it is now in thriving condition.
This bird is truly rara auis, and comes
pretty near being something new under
the sun. As black as crow" will no
longer answer for an Illustration. The
white crow is not entirely unknown in
natural history, but it is a stranger bird
than Poe's raven. Mr.. Butler has re-
fused $50 for this specimen.

length and breadth Of this land. The mu.

The reviying Of hope. the fond anlIcipa.

strength; the cheering lone of The nublic

Of our oralurs, and Of the resolves of the
people in their primary assemblies, all
gave evidence Of the universal Joy. AL.

CELEBRATED
Arabian Eminent,

ITHE miraculous cures performed by the
Il Arabian physicians in the days of old,
were then looked upon as the result of magic,
but since we have become intimate with
their history we can thus account for their
surprising power overdisease. Their attain
lnents in the knowledge of medicine were
the wonder of the age, while at the same time
the science of Chemistry, which with them
had its origin, was to the rest of the world
ga sealed book" andin Botany they were the
most jealous of students. In til, beautiful
groves which skirt the deserts of Arabia, a.
bound rare plants and o1orous woods
whence are obtained those aromatic gums
and fragrant balsams, of which this incom-
parable Imminent is composed, anl By whose
stimulating, unctuoua, penetrating AMI ano-
dyne properties it is, when applied, instan-
taneously diifused through the whole ner-
voas system, allaying the most intense pain
in the incredible short time of 10 or ID min
utes. Its action is prompt, powerful AMI eff
fectual, without the least danger. 1t pene
trates the flesh to the bone, relaxes contrac-
ted cords, restores use to limbs which hive
been palsied for years, causing the shrivelled
flesh to grow out AMI rich blood to circulate
through its veins. 1t restores the Synoyial
Fluid or Joint water, and this is the reason
why it has been SO universally successful in
curing all diseases of the Joints. In chron-
ic affections of the Spine, Liver, Lungs and
Kidneys, this great Arabian remedy stands
unparalleled: for a5us cake or Elar5emant
of the Spleen, it is aSpecilic; and FOR kheu-
matism it has performed some of tie most
extraordinary cures on record; also TOR
cramps, Swellings, Pains, Wounds, Chill
bl.ins, Burns, White Swellings, Tumors, &c.
1t is equally efficacious in diseases of ami
mails, such as Fistula, Poll Evil, Sweeney,
Stiff Complaint, Distampsr, Farcy, Sprains,
Bruises, Wounds, Mango, Spavins, Winl-
gals, Splint; AMI for nearly all diseases, ell
Their in man or beast, which require an exter-
nal application, this liniment stands at the
head OF all medicines. ~
