OLD WMTEY.-We copy from an extended
sketchin the National intelligence, of the fun
eral ceremonies Of the late President, the fol.
lowing very touching passage;
sThe Catgfulque, or moving bier which bore
the mortal remains of the late President was
drawn by eight white horses, splendidIy capari-
soned, each led by an attendant groom in white
tufban and corresponding dress. The car,
large and elevated, covered with black and
hung round with festoons of white silk, was
~surmounted by canopy, above which was seen
the American eagle deeply shrouded--in fact,
almost hidden in black Grape. The coffin oc-
cupieda conspicuous position; and was fully ex-
posed to view, But all eyes were drawn even
from this solemn sight, to one still more calcu-
lated to touch the feelings of the promiscuous
assemblage; It WAS the Generals favorite horse,
the far-famed aOh Whitey," so well known
to every soldier who served under the brave old
man through the perilous and glorious Mexican
campaign. He Isl well made animal, of some
fifteen and . half hands, in fine condition, and,
a. it seems, with a military air. On the saddle
were the holsters and inverted spurs. Poor
fellow! he stepped proudly; but how would
his pride have been quelled, could he have
known that he nowa~ accompanied his beloved
master tor the last time! Yes, Whitley, YOU are
surrounded BY soldiers, as you were wont to
b; the cannon thunders Ia your ear; that il A

never qnaiied, and whose sword never turned
back from the fight; hut alas! he has met ! foe

Wrighl,s Indian Vegetable Pills.

TyHIS medicine is compounded on general principles,
from the pure, unadulterated herbs OF the INDIAN
Although there are many medicines called by the same
name, every one is aware that there is a very great differ
epce among them. Those of them that are called "Indian,"
have stolen the name from us, who were the first to intro
duce a prepared Indian medicine to the American public
OF course a similarity of name does not create a similarly
Wr;ght's Indian Vegetable Pills are distinguished ortheir
perfect adaptation to the human body. In their operation,
have roUR-FoLD action upon the lungs, skin, kidneys and
bowels. Hence their peculiar power over disease. BY pro-
noting perspiration, they break up Solids, Coughs, kbeu-
matte Complaints, Pain in the Back, Scrofula, Cutaneous
Eruptions, Pimpies, Btotches, Freckles, E~rysipeias, &c.
The action of the Pills on the kidneys is such as to make
them a valuable lithontripic. Dropsy, Gravel, and Female
Complaints, arising from distractions at certain periods, are
speedily removed by their use. A free Expectation from
the lungs is excited by the use of Wright's Indian Vegeta-
BILE Pills, thus removing pulmonary complaints, sucha as Asth-
ma, Bronchitis, soreness and ~tightness of the Breast, Coughs,
Sore Throat, &c. By their action on the stomach and bow
of the Heart, Fiatulency, Costivepess, Fevers Of ali kinds,
Pleurisy, Headache, Giddiness, Dysentery, Piles, and ali

great searching efficacy, for the cure Of sores of all kinds,

IN THE COUNTRY.

IN THE COUNTRY.
The brooks that sing the livelong day,
Through the deep woods and meadow lands,
Washing away the glittering sands,
Are happiest in their play. =...
Far up yon wild and shady hill
hear the rumbling waterfall
Dashing beside the ruined wall,
Where stands the grey old mill.
@, beautiful the earth and sky!
And sweetly comes the mountain breeze,
While meath these tall and aged trees
I'd almost love to die!
Yes, when the soft twilight of the heart
Steals DER the landscape growing dim;
And sweeter sounds the evening hymn,
Let tears unbidden start.
With upturned eyes see the new moon
Hang her pale light in heavens own blue,
When noiseless falls the silvered dew
And woods and winds keep tune.

The Homes of Indiana.
BY J. B. CAKES.
The Indiana cottage home'
How pleasantly tbs i'se'
In beauty DER b -eftle land,
Penestb y, summer skies;
Tbev aid upon her fowery plains,
IT gentle swelling hills,
and nestle in the groves that bend
Above her shooting rills.
Rich fields of crimson, green, and gold,
Like quiet seas are there;
And boughs that droop with lucious fruits,
Are floating ia the air;
The clear cold springs come swelling forth
From out its moss hung cave,
And DER the flowers that kiss its stream,
The sheltering locusts wave.
Around in woven arches stand
The giant forest trees;
And wreathing vines and blossoms fling,
Their fragrance on the breeze,
The pawpaw rears its silver shaft,
Above the mandrake green,
And bounding Ger the fallen tree,
The graceful deer is seen.
The joyous humming of the bee,
The distant hunters horn.
The farm-yard sounds, the forest notes,
Blend in the breath of morn; .
And when the eyes of Heaven look thro'
The night air dim and chill,
In plaintive melody is heard
The mournful Whipporwill.
The Indiana happy homes!
Within their lovely walls,
Are forms as fair, and hearts as true,
Asdwell in sculptured halls; [warm
There woman's love-man's friendship
And childhood's glee unite,
To throw around their quietpess
y nalo OF dellght.
The Indiana peaceful homes!
Each household hearth above,
The ready rifle hangs to guard,
The land their owners love;
No tyrant footprint stains the soil,
BY freemen only trod;
Who never have in %supp!iance knelt,
Save when in prayer to God.

AND THE BRITISH QUARTERLY REVI0HS.
WING to the late revolutions and couset re
" v%olutions among the nations of Euppe,
which have followed each other in such quicldsncs
c%ession, and Of which 'lhe end is not net" The tead-
ing periodicals Of Great Britain have. berontblin-
vested with a degree Of interest hitherto unkrbwn.
I hey occupy a middle ground between thei hsty,
d~,sjointed. and necessarily imperfect records o.ihe
newspapers, and the elaborate. and ponderouslrea.
tises to be furnished by the historian at a fu,ur6day:
Whoever reads these periodicals obtains a cNATect
and connected account Of all the important political
events of the old world, rs they occur, and barns
the various conclusions drawn from them bt the
leading spirits Of the age. The American Pub
llshers therefore deem it proper to call renewed al
tention to the works they repnblish, and tho very
low prices at which they are offered to subscfihers.
The following is their list, viz:
The London Quarterly Rerien-The Edin
abhrgh Reuiew-The North British Re-
uieac--TM Westminster Rericv-
and Bzackaoood's Edinburgh Magazine.
In these periodicals are combined the views mo.
dera,ely, though clearly and firmly Expressed, Of
the three great parties in England-Tory, Whif and,
Radical-BIackwood and the London Quarterly
are Tory; the Edinburg Review, Wing: and the
Westminster Review, Liberal. The North British
Review owes its establishment to the last great &c.
clesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not bI,ra
in its views on any one Of the grand departments
Of human knowledge; is was originally edited by
Dr.. Chalmers, aid now, since bis death, il con.
dncted by his SON in law, DR.. Hanna, associated
with Sir David ews,er Its literary charaAer il
Of the very hishestorder. The Westminster, dough
reprinted under that title only, is published IN Eng.
land under the title Of the Foreign QuarteY3y and
Westminster, i, being in fact . union Of The two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted sudes
separate titles. II has, therefore the advantage BY
this combination Of uniting in one work the .bess
features Of both, as heretofore issued.
The above periodicals are reprinfed nFNew
York Immediately on their arrival BY the Dnhshs
steamers, in q beautiful clear type. on fDewhiss
paper, and are faithful copies Of The orieas-
Blackwood's Magazine being an exact GffiiinDs
Of the Edinbureh edition.
