A GREAT BLESSING TO THE AFFLICTED
DR.. McIane, the inventor of the celebrated
Liver Pills used these Pills for several years
in his practice, before he could be induced to
offer them to the public in such manner as
to make them known throughout the country
This learned physician felt the same repug-
nance that all hgh.minded men Of science
feel in entering the lists against those unscru-
pulous empires who obtrude their useless
nostrums upon the public, and rely upon
system Of putting to sustain them. Con-
WINGED, however, Of the real value of the Liver
Pills, and influenced by the plain dictates of
duty, the Doctor finally sacrificed his delicate
feelings on the altar Of public good. Ills
great medicine has not disappointed the ex
pectatons of the medical practitioners, at
whose instance he was Induced to forego his
inclinativns From every quarter do we hear
the most gratifying accounts Of its wonderful
curative effects-the East and the West, the
North and the South, are alike laden with
"tidings Of great joy" from the afflicted
These wonderful Pills have completely con-
quered that great scourge Of America, the
Liver Complaint.

patent medicine but one, the contents Of
which, are well known to the medical pro-
fcsson, and which has proved highly bcnct-

full and eminent physicians recommend it to
their patients in their regular practice, and

The following paragraph is for general use:
"All persons, are not aware of the preva-
lence Of profanity among the youth Of the
city, with whom the most carefully instructed
are brought in constant contact. This vice
is not confined to the neglected and uncared
for. Oaths, the most vulgar and wicked, are
all too common among the well dressed and
gcnteel appearing, but there can bo no true
gcntility where profane language is used
Boys! Nothing is more indicative of a bad
heart, or more disgusting to those whose
good opinion you should covet, than pr ofanity.
Avoid it us you would pestilence"

Y ! R Ea
 OR THE Perils of Navigation

The advantages of this contract need scarcely be urged upon wealthy men, or merchants, for they rarely neglect it, and If they do, fires leave other resources. It lis especially valuable to laboring men, mechanics and others of moderate means who, perhaps, have little else than a home and it's contents in the world.
 These should never neglect to insure; Ia fire which may visit them at any hour, would leave them homeless, and with no capital but their labor to begin again the struggule of life, and years of toll and watching must pass before they can re- gain what they have lost, if indeed it is ever done. To such, insurance Is duty. If the individual is worth little, the ex- pense is less; if he owns much property, still, the expense is trihing, and by inves- ting few dollars he is safe. If he is over taken by misfortune, and his all laid in ashes, he receives a recompense in a cash capital equal to his loss, and may soon restore what has been destroyed.

Professor Alex. q. Barry's TRICOPHEROUS, or Medicated com pound, for beautifying, curling, preserv. ing, restoring and strengthening the hair, relieving diseases of the skin, curing rheumatic pains and healing external wounds. Bounded by no geographical lines, the reputation of Barry's Trico- pherous pervades the Union. The sales of the article of late years have increased in ratio that almost exceeds belief. Professor Barry, after careful exami- nation of his sales book, finds that the numoer of bottles delivered to order, in quantities of from half gross upwards, during tile year 1852, was within trihe of 950,000.
 lis not necessary 10 present. at length the evidences of the wonderful proper ties of the Tricopherous when the public have furnished such an indorsement as this. The cheapness of the article, and the explanations given of it's. chemical action upon the hair. the scalp, and in all cases of superficial irritation, first re- commended it to the attention of the people. This was all that the inventor desired. Every bottle advertised itself The effects of the fluid exceeded eXpec- tahon. It acted like charm. The la dies would not be without 1t. Country dealers in every section of the United States found they must have it; and thus was built up wholesale trade ofan eX- tent hitherto unheard of as regards ar ucles of this kind. The highest point has not yet been reached, and it IS be- Iieved that the sales this year will be 9 million and half of bottles.

EVENING MUSIR

Iris sweet along life's chequered path To find unsought, some cherished
 flower,
 Within whose perfumed chalice lies A balm for many an anxious hour, Which, while to outward sense 1t brings Oblivion to all torturing pain, Sends fresher life through every pulse, And makes the heart feelyoung again. The world may false and heartless prove And all our fervent hopes betray, And those who with our fortune smile, May with fortune pass away; Yet while one eye in kindness beams, While one true heart is twlned with
 ours,
 Our path of life. though chequered, still Is cheered by the sweet smile of flow
 CTS.
 It may be that the rose we loved Long withered and forgotten lies, And all the dreams of early years Have proved but flatteriDg ProPhecles; Yet here and there, along our path, Some blossoms meet our earnest gaze, In which the eye of faith may read The joyous pledge of brighter days.

J. BURROWS Patent Plantation Corn Hill

V1HlS Mill differs from all others in the con-
 i structIon of the Upper or Runner Stone, which IS composed of French Burr Blocks, enclosed in a Cast Iron Case, that forms the hack and hoop of the Stone, with Cast Iron Eve, or Bash, that Is of greater external diam eter atthe bottom than at the top; this IS secured to the back by four bolts, so that every block IS in the form of dove-tai. This gives greater strength to a Stone than any other method which IS required in small mills, where the Stone is run with great speed, and becomes dangerous if not strongly made. It also gives any weight 10 a Stone of small diameter that IS required, without having 1t thick or high, which makes 1t top-heavy.
 This mill Is square frame made! of wood or cast iron. in the form of a busk, with Bridge tree, Spindle, Balance, Rine, Driver, and Regulating Screw, and grinds upon the same principle as large mill, differing only in the Runner-Stone; this being of great weight, ena- bles 1t to grind, more of grain with less power than any other mill is portable and may bea tached to Steam Water, Horse or Hand power. Jos. H. BURROWS, of Cincinnati, Is the ID7en- tor, for which he obtained Letters Patent IF lS42. For all infringements, the purchaser will be held responsible for the right of using These Mills do not require a mill-wright to set them up; and all that IS necessary 10 put LutHl III opeEdlloH; Is 10 altaCn a Ddnu tu 'h0 pulley on the Spindle, with drum sufficiently large to run the 24 inch Mill 240 revolutions per minute, attached to Gin, Water, or Steam Power. By the steady application or two horse power, the Mill will grind six or eight bushels per hour, of good meal; and will grla!d. Wheat as well as Corn. The 30 inch mill, II
 put to its fullest speed, will grind from 10 10
 l5 bushels per hour.
 These mills are warranted to be in every respect as represented.
 Having been appointed sole agents for ihe
 sale of the above Mills, in this section of coun- ltry we will keep constantly on hand the differ
 ent sizes, and will furnish planters upon as
 reasonable terms as can be had in Cincinnati CT New Orleans.

BY HELEN c. GAGE.

Whisper it softly,
 When nobody's near, Let not those accents Fall harsh on her ear, She is blossom,
 Too tender and frail For the keen blast
 The pitlless gale. Whisper it gently,
 Twill cost thee no pain; Gentle words rarely
 Are spoken in vain; Threats and reproaches
 The stubborn may move Noble the conquest
 Aided by love. Whisper it kindly,
 Twill pay thee to know, Penitent tear-drops
 Down her cheek flow. Has she from virtue
 Wandered astray! Guide her feet gently,
 Rough is the way. She has no parent,
 None of her kin; Lead her from error,
 Keep her from sin. Does she lean on thee!
 Cherish the trust;- God to the merciful
 Ever is just.

FRIENDS AND NEIGHBoRs-Haging just opened commodious shop for the sale of 'Liquid Fire" l take this early opportunity of informing you that, on Saturday next, shall commence the business of making drunkards, paupers and beggars, for the sober, industrious and respectable portion of the commit nity to support.
 I shall deal in "familiar spirits, D which will excite men to deeds of riot, robbery, and blood; and by so doing, diminish the comforts, augment the expenses, and endanger the welfare of the community.
 l will undertake, at short notice, for a small sum, and with the greatest ex- petition, to prepare victims for the asylums, the poor houses, the prisons, and the gallows.
 I will furnish an article that will in- crease the amount of fatal accidents, multiply the number of distressing dis eases, and render those which are harmless, incrable.
 I will deal in drugs which will de- prive some of life, some of reason, most of property, and all of peace, which will cause fathers to be fends: wives, widows; children, orphans, and all mendicants.
 I will cause the rising generation to grow up in ignorance, and prove bur- den and nuisance to the nation.
 I will cause mothers to forget their sucking infants; virgins their priceless innocence.
 I will corrupt the ministers of reli zion, obstruct the progress of the Cos pei, deGle the purity of the church and cause temporal: spiritual and eter- nal death; and if any should be so i'm pertinent as to ask why I have the au- dacity to bring such accumulated mis- cry upon a comparatively happy people my honest reply is-Money.
