Heal it up, as quick as thought; -,
Every paltry place -pretension,
Crush it, as thing of naught:
Let no narrow private treason
Your great onward progress bar,
But remain, in right and reason,

Envy, Jealousy, suspicion,

And again: "Doctor, / die hard, but am

More than quarter of century elapsed
before similar scene was Witnessed. Then,
on the same day, the first jubilee of the ma

ferson, at So, came down TO their last hour.

son, ''and my child tony country" Soon
after Adams exclaimed, "lndependence
forever!" and all was over. They, too, had
ceased to breathe. ta
Five years after this, at III years of age,
Monroe ceased to breathe.
Five years after this, at IS years Of age,
Madison ceased to breathe.
Nearly five years after this, at 68 years
of age, Harrison remarked: "Sir, wish
YOU to understand the true principles of
the Government; wish them carried out:

breathe. M
Four years after this, at 7s years of age,
Jackson observed, in substance: ''My suf-
ferings, though great, are nothing in com-
parison with those of my dying. Saviour,
through whose death | look for everlasting
happiness. And he ceased to breathe.
In less than three years after this, at 81
years of age, the second Adams declared:

And he ceased to breathe. saa
In little more than one year after this,
at SO years of age, Polk bowed his head
in baptism, confessing his Saviour. And
he ceased to breathe.

GREEN WINTER BEANS.

As this is the commencement OF Inc
bean growing season, we would remind
our readers of the fact that you can have
green sheled beans in the winter as well
as summer. Mr.. E. Robinson. OF this
city, informs us that he has tried the fol-
lowing method last summer, with perfect
success. The beans he used were called
the horticultural Beans" He gathered
them as soon as they became plump; not
hard. They were then laid away in the
pod on the floor of the attic, carefully
spread and dried.
In the winter, whenever he wanted a
mess OF green beans, he took the dried
pods and shelled them, and when cooked,
they could not be distinguished by the
taste from those that are cooked in the
summer directly from the vines. Our bean
loving friends should bear this in mind,
and at the proper season lay in goodly
store of green beans. to eat when winter
has covered the earth and its "groans''
forty fathoms or less with snow.-Maine

DIR. Rogers
COMPOUND SYRUP OF
TiyerWort and Tar.

THE HISTORY OF THIS MEDICINE
is briefly told. 1t is prepared mostly from Re.
cipe furnished by the late distinguished Professor
Rogers, after many years Of investigation and
research, and is the one employed by him in his
own practice, and that occasioned his unparallel-
led success in curing all complaints Of the Throat
and Lungs. For four years past, the prOprietors
have been putting up Dr. Rogers Compound
Syrup Of L,uer,Uort and Tar, in Cincinnati,
Ohio. From this point, it has been distributed
extensively over all the western aud south west
ern states Hence the reason why SO many Of
our Certificates are dated at Cincinnati, where
the medicine is best ka0tUn, and has been most
fully tested. The first year, its sales amounted
only to about 4. 1000 bottles; but such was its as-
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 10 the demand for il 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 Tom
Palmyra, N. Y, and another from Columbus,
Geo. And il is because the demand for this med
icine from abroad Is so great that the proprietors
cannot supply il from Cincinnati, that they have
now entered into extensive arrangements for man
ufacuring the article in this city, deeming II their
solemn and in,perious duty to put within the
reach of every member OF community, med-
cine which will not only break up the most die
tressing Cough in few hours time, but which
will really and radically cure the incipient stages
of Consumption. s56 ~ H~4
