experience the salutary effect they have upon
weak systems"

WEIGH AND CONSIDER.

DR.. Halls Balsam, is no Paregoric but Med
icine which makes cures at home where the par.
ties can be found. The great Cough and Con-
sumptive remedy.
Reader! have you a cough, which you are
ncglecting under the idea that it is only COM
mon cold, and that it will soon swear itself
out ?" Let friend tell you, in all kindness,
what will soon be the probable result. In a
short time, you continue to neglect yourself,
you will begin to feel sense oI tightness and
oppression across the chest, accompanied with
frequent sharp darting pains. Then dry
hacking cough will set in and when you raise
any ythng it will be thick and yelIowish, or
white irothy matter, streaked perhaps with
blood. If you still take no medicine, these un-
pleasant symptoms will increase, and you will
soon have hectic fever, cold chills, night sweats,
copious expectoration, and then great prOstra-
lion. If you still neglect Yourself, few weeks
or months will see you consigned to the grave,
leaving your friends to mourn how rapidly
consumption did its work, and hurried you
away. Friend! have you no cause TO be alarmed
In the above sketch you may see in a glass,
how every case OF consumption progresses, with
more or less rapidity, to fatal termination
o all the thousands and millions whom this
great Destroyer has gathered to the tomb, every
single case begun wit.I cold If 'lAio had
been attended TO, all might h'~s- been we'll +;
but, being neglected. "rder the fatal delusion
that it woulA twear itself off" ii transferred its
!,eony action to the substance of the Lungs,
exciting there the formation of tubercles.-
Another, and another cold added fuel to the
flame, until these tubercles began to soften and
suppurate, leaving, by their liberation, great
cavities in the Lungs, At this crisis the dis
ease is cry difficult OF cure, and oitentimes SET
at defiance all human means.
In the latter, or worst stage, this medicine
will Oftentimes arrest the disease, or check its
progress and will Away make the patient more
comfortable, and prolong his life, and it is there.
fore worthy of a trial-but in its incipient OF

MorHEa OF CRoMwELL.-An interesting
person, indeed, was the mother Of Cromwell; a
woman with tho glorious faculty Of self-help
when other assistance failed her ready for the
demands of fortune in the EXTREMIST adverse
time; of spirit and energy equal to her mildncss
and patience who, with the labor of her own
hands, gave dowers to FIVE daughters su fiicient
to marry them into families as honorable, but
more wealthy than their own; whose single
pride was honesty, and whose passion love; who
preserved in the gorgeous palace at whitehall
the simple tastes which distinguished her in the
old brewery at Huntingdon; whose only care,
amid all her splendors, was for the safety OF her
beloved son in his dangerous eminence; finally,
when her care had nutworn her strength, accord
ing with her whole modesty and tender history
she implored a simple burial in some country
church yard, rather than the i'll suited trappings
of state and ceremony, wherewith she feared,
and with reason, 100, that His Highness, the
Lord Protector of England, would have carried
her to some Royal tomb.
There is portrait Of her at Hnchildbrook,
which, If it were possible, would increase the
interest she inspires and the respect she claims.
The mouth, 80 small and sweet, yet full and
firm as the mouth OF hero; the large and mel
anchnly eyes, the light pretty hair. the express
ion of quiet affectionateness suffdsed over her
face, which is 80 modesty developed in satin
hood, the simple beauty of the velvet cardinal
she wears, and the richness Of the small jewel
tn It clasps it, seems to present before the gazer
her living and breathing character.--Erchdnge

PAST MEMORIES.

What mnrn'res check life's mystic wny!
How ardent sows the youthful scene,
On him whose head is decked in gray
Returning oflimes IN dream
What golden hours were those We spent
Resid-s the lucent stream and lake,
When Spring birds their sweet music lent,
And bloorped the shore with scented brake.
So slowly, holy minutes fed
80 happy, ihnughless days went by
Such rantured visions filled the head
There was no theme wake sigh.
Each garland wove beside the brink,
Each nosegay plucked within the grave,
In nem'ry's chain was but link
Undying az the power Of love.
What scenes Of Joy, what scenes of tears.
Have multiplied upon our mind,
As down and duwn the vale Of years
Retreating hours have rolled behind
As gem by gem have passed from view
A star by star have gone to rest,
Ay. gone from that celestial few,
We held undying to our breast.
Those flowers which by our pat h way grew,
30 choiceIy culled to deck our heads,
Are gone Times frosts and winds bestrew
These Howers-go see their mossy bsds
The past the past af,r and near,
III ev'ry nook, by ev'ry way,
Awakes a sigh, calls f,th tcar;
Tells but too trus, all things decay.
A shoreless stream, this mighty past.
Which flows and ebbs, and flows again
TIL lfc's quick pulses beat their last
Till life's tossed stream hcaves to It's main.
But Milling OH the brink Of death,
RevivIng Spring o'erlooks the tomb;
Which cheers life's last and par ing breath,
Dissolves for aye its lurId gloom.
SO then to tread anong the dead,
Or walk amid Times ruins old,
Should give no apprehensive dread
But give to faith stranger hold.
