The editor of the CINCINNATI Nonpareil, har-
ing visited North Bend, speaks thus OF General
Harison's tomb:
"On recent visit to the tomb OF Harrison,
situated on one of the most beautiful sites in
the western country, at North Bend, we were
panied at bcholding the little attention bcsow-
ed upon the ground covering the last resting
place of the hero. The lot selected, in which
are deposited the remains Of Odd Tippecanoe,'
is enclosed around the base in a circular form,
with board fence, roughly white-washed. The
long grass has all been trodden down, shrubbery-
broken, trees cut, and even the wooden door
leaning to the vaults has been delaced and mu-
tilated, while the rough bricks on each side OF
the mound have been loosened and scattered
over the ground for yards around. The earth
on the mound has been ploue he'd up, as though
the hogs had been roofing there. The tomb,
and all the once-beautiful and enchanting scene
ry, have lost all their interest, and the visit to
the spot is now anything but pleasant thus
expressing ourselves, we only echo the general
feeling of all who have visited the burlal-rIace
this spring"

For the efectual roofing out from the system OF all
diseases brought by indigestion, bioustss and I'M
nur;tv of the blood it is widely and well known fact
that WRIGH7rS INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS
are the oreat P4NA CE1. Throughout the entire
South these Pills have long been held in the highest
repute both by private individuals and by the Medical
faculty of our country Southern tevers and Southern
diseases generally yield to their influence at once and
the unfortunate victim to earthly ills and woes IS made
to thank Heaven that sovereign balm has been pro-
vided.
Let each try them for himself and if the medicine
fails to satisfy the experiment shall cost him nothing

NOT VERY FLATTER1NG.

A LADY who corresponds with the National
Intelligencer, from London, writes as follows
of Queen Victoria
have not seen her Majesty yet, but my
friends met her early this morning at the Zoo
logical Gardens. She was with Prince Albert,
the Prince of Prussia, and two OF her children.
My friends thought her ugly, dowdy; walks
badly, with little limp, gostering about atev-
cry body, and dragging one OF the children
along She was attred in blue lawn, seal
Hoped founces, blue and white barege shawl,
and black gaiter boots
We are reminded of Burns famous lines:
"A King can make belted knight,
marquis, duke, and a that,
But an honest mans abune his might,
GUIDE faith he maun ma ia that
Just as far above the might of King is it to
make pretty graceful woman. In fact it has
always appeared to us, that where fortune has
been unusually lavish of her favors to man or
woman, nature has been proportionally mig
gard. 1t is very rare that we see very veal.
thy man with more brains than his NOODLE can
carry, and among the other sex, to find great
fortune who has any pretensions to good looks,
is so uncommon an accident, that it may al
most be accounted miracle. So it seems
that the condition of mortality is more nearly
balanced than superficial observer would at
first imagine. 10 man or woman has a right
to exxlt. The very rich are not apt to be very
smart or very pretty, and, in general, they
would give their ears to be both. The very
smart and the very beautiful would doubtless
part with large share of wit and beauty, in
exchange for plenty of the good things of
this world. All three. wealth, beauty and wit,
have Inconvenience and miseries peculiar to
themselves. In nine cases out of ten, the
wealthy woman becomes the prey of a fortune
hunter, who cares no more for her than he
does for a sour crab. The beautiful woman is
most commonly sold by her parents, or sells
herself TO some wealthy dolt, whom she despises
The witty woman has a lot which some are apt
to think worse than either of the other two,
for she very seldom gets married at all. The
wealthy man is generally caught, by some per-
son, who lays trap for his money, in the
meshes of wedlOck. The man of genius, SO
far as we can judge from what we have
read of that description of the genus homo.
is generally very unlucky dog, and pass
es his lite amidst thousand annoyances
of which we ordinary mortals have not
the gumpiion to know the sting. Upon the
whole, when we think over these things we
are disposed to be contented with our humble
lot. Sometimes we 60 SO far to thank God
that we are neither distinguished for wealth,
genius, nor personal puchritude. when we see
what mischief these much coveted gifts too
frequently work. But then We stop short,
thinking that if we are grateful for our deficien-
cies, we might perhaps have too much to be
thankful for.
