we have adopted as rule, the policy OF keeping

against "fading prints" togetter with the great
Improvement made in printing tast colored Prints,
have fully determined us to discard the former,
and always to keep up complete variety of SAFE
CoLoRED Goops, which we will warrant alw sys
to give satisfaction to the consumer. The same
observations viii apply to all printed goods, and
we pledge ourselves to exercise equal care in Sc
ecting such goods as Cloths, Cassimeres Vestings,
Satinetts, Tweeds, and all kinds of Woolens, also

THE UNION.

"What is this Union?" dost thou say,
"And to whom does it belong?"
IT'S Freedoms Temple, and doth display
A rampier beauteous and strong,
And freemen proudly say tits ours;
And as il is, shall ever be,
A unity of sovereign powers.
"The Union, the land of the free."
The North, the South, the East the West,
Form the great trinity of State!
A land of freemen, strangely blest,
Who whilst united, must be great.
Lives there mailman who would sever
The fraternal tie, which makes US one,
And thus destroy, destroy forever,
The cause which our fathers begun?
If there does, speak, thou monster rare,
And hear tn voice of millions thunder,
Foul traitor, '"try it if you dare" ~
These bright stars you cannot sunder;
Let each patriot build an altar, =
And on its holy fires swear. .ifT
That he viii never, never falter, -
To maintain them as they are.

ADDRESS TO TIME.

Hold! Hold! clasp thy swift wing and pause
Fly thee not so swiftly away,
And for one moment suspend the laws
Which hath so long forbid thy stay.
Tell me, didst thou, like mortal man,
Begin thy course, and have birth!
And wilt thou measure one brief span,
And cease to be with this frail earth!
Cansi thou not one short moment stay,
Or let me Joy the one that's past!
All no! each moment seems to say,
Improve the present, It's all thou hast.

The PAST YEAR.

Another year Of time we number,
With those "beyond the food"
And fondly think Of friends who slumber
Beneath the silent sod.
Twelve months ago, with Joy we greeted
Loved ones, in health's bright bloom,
Alas! who now in death are sheeted,
And sleep in foreign tomb
Times but slender bark that's freighted
With lading for the grave.
Which is haven, that's never sated,
A port cross Jordan's wave.

DIR. ROGEHS' COMPOUND SYRUP
IiYerWort and Tar.

THE HISTORY OF THIS MEDICINE
is briefly told. 1t is prepared mostly from Re-
cpe furnished by the late distinguished Professor
Rogers, after many years OF investigation ana
research, and is the one employed by him in his
own practice and that occasoned his unparalel-
led success in curing all complaints OF the Throat
and Lungs. For four years past, the proprietors
have been putting up Dr. Rogers Compound
Suup of Liue,,cort and Tar, in Cincinnati,
Ohio. From this point, il has been distributed
extensively over all the western and south west.
ern states. Hence the reason why so many OF
our Certificates are dated at Cincinnati, where
the medicine is best k1oton, and has been most
fully tested The first year, its sales amounted
only to about 1000 bottles; but such was its ass
tonishing success in curing the complaints for
which it is recommended, that it soon acquired
an immense popularity, and the present year its
sales will exceed $50 600 bottles.
Nor is the demand for it confined to the west
ern states. Its reputation is spreading over the
whole Union. Although il has never been adver,
tised at ALL or even offered for sale in New Eng
land. the proprietors have this day received an
order from Bangor, Me. A few days since, they
received one from Lowell, Mass --also one from
PALMYRA, NJ Y, and another from Columbus,
Geo. And il is because the demand for this med.
icine from abroad is so great that the propretors
cannot supply it from Cincinnati, that they have
now entered into extensive arrdnReIhehlsi ioi mdu-
ufacturng the article in this city, deemiDg il their
solemn and inperious duty to put within the
reach of every member OF community, a medi-
cine which will not only break up the most dis
tressing Cough in a few hours time, but which
will really and radically cure the incipient stages
Of Consumption. l-

WELL, | read the above sublime poetry
to long faced one, who had the print of
five. cent piece indelibly fixed on every
finger. Starvation, anxiety, necessity, PEN
urysand want were huddled in one melan-
choly group upon his visage, which seem
ed 10 be the almshouse of all the beggaries
in the world. | knew he had his Golfers
full ofillAgotten gold; so asked him for
quarter. He grew pale and paler still,
but at length regained his wanted sole
leather hue, and told me he took no papers,
for they cost money; that he read nothing,
for that consumed time. He then broke
forth into trade of abuse Of all lawyers,
doctors, and education generally. He
spoke Of school masters in most unmeas-
ured terms of abuse, and grew into a fury,
which cannot describe. Though have

culture Of the grave; and have seen ten
thousand angry pillows upheaving old
Oceans deep unfathomable abyss, driving
the mad sea from coast to coast, as though
some strange God were there disputing
with Neptune for the supremacy; yes,
have seen the terrific storms OF Heaven
mastering above me, obedient alone to
the pealing thunders, which seemed to
command the blazing cavalry of all the
skies into one dread conflict. And still,
