Little FIOWer-Bud.

Rapidly she grew worse, till the little fin
gers relaxed, and the crushed hower-bud,
pale, dead thing, laid on the coverlid, an
emblem Of her own Aeeting loveliness,
The trial hour had come. Our angel
smiles often and sweetly, as the white wings
of death famed the moisture from her brow.
The sun came family in it was near twi-
light. Her beautiful head rested YEARLY
and heavily upon my bosom her wax white
limbs laid like marble upon my arms. Sud-
denly she looked up to me, and while fash
Of wondrous intelligence shot from her dear
dying eyes, she whispered, Mamma !

be an angel tomorrow ?''
o! my beautiful Mary, transplanted 50
early, little dreamed the lesson thy inno-
cent lips were teaching, when they offered
the hower-bud to God
And is my fower-bud in heavenl Can

ded by love and glory /? Yes J know it
is So Dust lies upon her form Of perfect
beauty; the fingers that in their dimpled
whiteness gathered roses from my lhlls gar
den, mingle now with the ashes OF her
shroud. Those more than beautiful eyes
thai sometimes thought looked out ol
heaven upon me, shall see no more the flow
ers, the stars, the sun, the glorious things Of
earth. But my little flower -bud-a thing
Of beauty and joy forever is she 10 her
"high-born kihsmen," in the palace of my
Father.
For her, why shed tears will weep

The value Of this medicine is now widely
known, and every day the field Of its usefulness is
extended. 1t is approved and highly recommend
"a by physicians, and admitted to be the most
powerful and searching preparation from the root,
that has ever been employed in medical practice
Its operation extends to the remolest parts Of the
system, and consists in removing diseased action
in the absorbing and secretins organs. In man,
Nature seldom effects, unassisIed the cure Of any
virulent disease but requires the aid Of stimulant
alternative, or antiseptic medicine. In diseases Of
the skin and flesh, a combination Of these three
classes Of medical agents Is highly desirable. All
these properties are combined in this preparation
and instead Of operating successively upon the
system as thoy must necessarily do when taken
separately, they operate simultaneously, and In
perfect harmony when administered in this form.
Its tonic property strengthens the digestion, and
improves the appetite. It's altefative tendency
carries off the accommodations Of morbid matter ;
and its antseptie influence neutraliEes the virus,
by which the disease is fosteFed. Its uniform sue
cess in curing and relieving the various diseases
for which it is recommended, is established BY a
multitude ol facts.

developments made few years since, respecting

THE EDINBURGH REYIEW

having from its commencement advocated Freedom
and the rights of the people. When the wsr, ap.
paTentlY Of determination, was waged against
France by British Tory rulers, and during which
occurred the second great struggle Of England
with our own country, this Review first unfurled
the flag Of resistance, made by its unanswerable
and eloquent appeals in behalf Of inaenable right,
the halls Of legislation and even the throne itself
to tIemble. The graphic and stirring deleneotions
of those events presented in the pages Of that dis
tinguished Journal exhibit the truest Potraiture Of
those perilous days 10 be found, perhaps in the
language. It's influence was becoming so apparent,
that at length the leaders of the Tory party, at
whom the thunders Of its eloquenee were especial
ly directed, found it too powerful an instrument to
be resisted by ordinary means, and hence they es-
tabshed the Quarterly" as il is distinguished
among the American Reprints

THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,

THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
is work Of more recent origin than those already
descrbed-but is, nevertheless, destined TO occupy
as prominent place in the Republic Of Letters.
The great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
led to It's establishment. There was no Journal 10
the United Kingdom, which appeared to meet th-
necessities Of the Anti Nalionslchureh'a agitation.
Indeed the revolution caused by the disruption
induced a new state Of things, placing the actors
in new positions Of observation nor could they
give utteranee to their perceptions Of State and
Church Policy-their new sYmathies-ther new
emotions, without some organ Of thought than any
hen eNtani. Hence the spontaneous agreement Of
the great master minds among them, in the Deees-
sity Of new outlet Of opinion, and the immediate
creation Of the North British Review. The basis
Of this Journal is the Evangelism Of the Nineteenth
century nor il Il 10 be overlooked as one Of the
striking characteristics Of the tines and the grand
principle which Robertson, Smith, and many Of
the eminent men Of Scotland took the field eentu-

the body, 80 that ii would have been impossible
to touch any part that was free from the humor /;
the head face and body were covered with scales
like those of a fish the hair fell out in larpe
quantities, and walking caused the most excrueis-
ting agones, as It affected the joints more severely
than any other part. She suffered also long time
from an affection OF the liver, connected with gen
Cral debility, and prostration Of the nervous svs
ten. Physicians, both IN Europe aud America.
had exhausted the usual remedies, without Affect
ing a cure, or scarcely alTordng relief; and the
best medical skill was unavaiing, until she happi.
ly used your Sarsaparla. The disease was pro
nounced salt rheum, but her whole system, inter
nsly and externaly, was altogether deranged but
so complete has been the cure, afier using the
SarsapaIla for six weeks. and taking in ali less
than one dozen bottles, that she enjoys better
health than for years previous TO taking the Sar-
saparilla. The object in making this communica
ton is that all who have suffered as she has. NAV
