For the Lancaster Ledger
Childhood's Happy Home.

Home tits sacred spot
To memory ever dear
How well do I remember
The vine decked cottage
That stood amid the hills,
The little murmuring streamlct
That swiftly coursed its way
Adown the sparkling rill.
Where joyously, joyously We whilel away
Youths sunny hours,
When our gladscmc happy heart
Knew naught of care.
Alas! they are gone, those bright joyous seen cs
Gone alas! ne'er to return,
And / am left a lone wonderer
s, On earths gloomy vale of tears,
Far from my childhood's happy home,
Parted from all my heart holds dear,
From friends and kindred near,
Oh, would again we could view
The happy home of childhood dear,
And oh, grant our last and quivering breath
May be spent in our chdhood's happy home.

TTIIESE Pills being composed entirely of
l. medicinal herbs sre Of a most harmless
nature, while the extraordinary virtues they
possess have rendered them universally pop
uIar in neary every part of the world. The
immense success they have met with
throughout the States is most extraordinary,
owing, it is presumed, to their wonderful
efficacy in the cure Of Bilious complaints
and disorders of the Liver and Stomach
Persons who persevere in using them in ac-
cOrdance with the directions, seldom fail in
being restored to health.

To PRoF. HOLLOWAY:
Sir--A Mr.. Joseph Puxton, formerly n
resident Of this place, had been in decli-
ming state Of health for upwards of three
years, gradually wasting away to a shadow
10y nightly perspirations and want ofappetite,
which caused great uncasincss TO his friends,
as he had consulted various medical men in
Bath, without effect. He at last used your
pills, and under providence was restored to
health by their means. He lately emigrated
to New York, and has Just written to saw,
that he was never better in health, and de-
sired ME TO acquaint you with the circum-
stance. ! ought also to mention, that my
wife had derived great benefit from the use
of your Pills

Dear Sir:--ln this District your pills COM
mand more extensive sale than any other
proprietary medicine before the public. AS
a proof of their efficacy in Liver and Bilious
Complaints, J may mention the following
case a lady of this town, with whom
am personally acquainted, for years was
severe sufferer from disease of the Liver and
digestive organs her medic.l attendant as
sured her that he could do nothing to relieve
her sufferings, and it was not likely she
could survive many months This an
nouncemcnt naturally caused great alarm
among her friends and relations, and they
induced her to make trial of your PILLS,
which SO improved her general health that
she was induced to continue them until she
received perfect cure. This is twelve
months ago, and she has not experienced
any symptoms Of relapse, and often de.
clares that your Pills have been the means
Of saving her life.
Iremain, Dear sir, yours truly,

BALTIMORE, Dec 22, 1854.
Z A marked moderation in the Intense cold of the
past week, and day of bright AID glorious sun
shine has thronged our streets to-day with groups
preparing for the holidays. Notwithstanding the
cry Of hard times, no previdhs Christmas has
shown greater disposition TO enjoy Christmas, nor
apparently more means with which 10 procure that
enjoyment. Our PETAL dealers have made quite
the usual amount of preparation, and the book
stores, jewelers. and other dealers IN articles that
form the usual gifts Of merry Christmas, are doing
q large and profitable business This fact will
have good effect in letting loose an amount Of
small change that is much needed.
The case of Martin, the post Office robber, was
closed this morning, and given TO the jury about
noon. They were absent from the courtroom
only about an hour, and then returned into court
with verdict Of guilty The violent attack Of his
counsel upon Mr.. Mcguire has only had the effect
to prejudice the community against the prisoner,
and must have even destroyed the little sympathy
which the jury felt for him. Martins confidence,
which he had 80 strongly shown during the trial,
deserted him when the verdict was announced,
and he appeared utterly overwhelmed When his
wife and sister, who were waiting in the marshals
room, heard the verdict, an agonizing scene en-
sued Their shrieks Of agony rang through the
building, and brought sorrow to the most unfeeling
Martin was Immediately taken to them, and was
received into his wfes arms, whose tears and pro-
testations of his innocence showed all the clnging
confidence and love Of woman.
The scene was q most painful one, and was felt
by none more than the jury, who, in the discharge
Of their solemn duty, had been forced to give 90
casion to it, A motion in arrest of Judgment, with
the intention to file reasons for new trial. was
made by his counsel and win be argued nsxt
week The punishment for tho offence is confne-
ment in the penitcntiary for period not less than
ten nor exceeding twenty-one years. - II
Our police last night arrested three men impH-
Gated in the recent heavy robbery Of Mr. Pouder's
store. The clue thus obtained led TO the recovery
ola considerable portion Of the stolen goods. They
were found in different negro huts about the city,
where they had been bestowed in hope Of escaping
detection. The parties arrested have been com
mtted to prison; but the evidence 10 far obtained
against them Is all from Blacks and cannot be used
in court Further Investigations will probably be
made that will fx the guilt upon them.
Much anxiety exists for the arrival of the Eu-

tAt#g A0HW6I 70 HON. He <As w 1Scs
We are favored by friend from the Old
Dominion with letter received by him from a
distinguished gentleman Of North Carolina, re-
viewing portions Of the letter recently pub
lished by the friends Of the Hon. II. A. Wise,
in which the doctrines Of the American par
ty'wsrc assailed by the last-named gentleman
at great length, and in language Of great force
and cloquence.
We publish to-day tho letter thus received,
and commend ii to the perusal and calm reflec-
ton Of tho readers Of the american Organ,
assuring them that 1t viii richly repay them
for the time they may spend in reading it once,
twice, and again. The letter Is from the pen
Of one Of tho most talented and patriotic sons
Of the Old North State, one who has shared
in the deliberations Of our national councils AZ
representative from his native State, and
who, as such, was honored and respected BY
all his associates one who is now prominent
member Of the State Legislature of North Car
olina, and who is probably destined to I'll yet
a larger space in the eyes Of his counrymen.
Let not the length Of this letter deter our
readers from its deliberate perusal, for we hes
itate not to say that, rs to those portions Of
Mr.. Wise's letter towhichi It adverts, it utterly
annihilates the assumptions Of that gentleman
and vindicates the opinions and views of the
American party, with force of illustration
and clearness Of clucidation rarely found In
the most labored essays of the best writers o.
the age Moderate in its tone unassuming in
it's style, and courteous in its illusions to Mr.
Wise, with whom the author was for many
years associated in Congress on terms Of friend
ship we feel assured that the letter Of this tai
ented Carolinian win be read by all with thu
deepest interest, and by none with more respec,
than by the political friends Of Mr.. Wise him
self
We observe that the writer Of the letter re.
ferred to proposes to discuss the remaining and
untouched portions Of Mr.. Wise's manifesto
and we are promised the future letters for in
sertion in the Organ.
