The Washington Monument.

To the Editor Of the american Organ:
SrR Agreeably to resolution Of Eutau Council
the subjoined paper is transmitted you for pubca-
ton. A word or two in connexion with the sub
iect. The object contemplated must commend IL
self TO every true American. The only controversy
that can possibly exist is with regard to tb
best adapted 10 the securement Of the end. We
understand that the plan Of circulars addressed on
the part Of the Managers Of the Monument to the
various councils has been resortcd TO- That course
we are convinced will fail TO secure those uniform
and thorough supple s which viii be the natural
and unfailing results Of the plan below.
Oar plan proposes to commence with the high.
est body known TO the order, and TO go forth with
its authority. II the plan be adopted, the Grand
Council Of the United States will act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils, aud they in turn
will exert a similar influence upon the subordinate
councils. The system win be thorough, and con-
sequently the desired results viii be but legitimate
effects. Nor is this mere theory, INFESTED and
untried. We call attention TO the following paper
the original of which is in the hands Of the Trea.

The sounds Of Industry.


Ut FRAEcEs D. GAGE,
love the banging hammer,
The whirring OF the plane,
The crashing Of the busy saw,
The creaking Of the crane,
The ringing Of the anvil,
The grating of the drill,
The Gathering Of the turning-lathe,
The whirling Of the mill,
The buzzing OF the SPINDLE
The rattling Of the loom,
The putting OF the engine,
And the fans continual boom
The clipping Of the tailor's shears,
The driving Of the awl,
The sounds Of busy labor
i love, / love them all
/ love the plowman's whistle,
The reaper's cheerful song,
The drovers oftrepeated shout,
As he spurs his stock along;
The hustle of the market man,
As he HES him to the town
The halo from the tree-top,
As tho ripened fruit comes down,
The busy sound Of threshers,
As they clean the ripened grain,
And the hasker's joke, and mirth, and glee,
Meath the moonlight on the plain;
The kind voice Of the dairyman,
The shepherds gentle call
These sounds OF active industry,
! love, love them all
For they tell my longing spirit
OF the earnestness Of life;
How much Of all its happiness
Comes out of toll and strife.
Not that toll and strife that fainteth
And mnrmureth an the way.
Not that toll and strife that groaneth
Beneath the tyrant's sway;
But that toll and strife that springeth
From free and willing heart
y strife which ever bringcth
To the striver oil his part
oh there is good in labor,
1--WE labor but Alright,
That gives vigor to the daytime,
And sweetcns sleep at night
A good that bringoih pleasure.
Even to the toiling hours;
For duty cheers the spirit
AS tho dew revivcs the flowers.
Oh! say not that Jehovah
Babe us labor as doom!
No! il is his richest mercy.
And will scatter life's dark gloom
Then let us still be doing
Whate'er we find to do,
With nm earnest, willing spirit,
Aud strong hand, free and true

an extensive trial Of its virtues
has conclusvely shown with what success il accom-
plishes the purpose designed. II is easy 70 make a
physical Pill but not easy TO make the best Of all
Pils-one which should have none Of the objections
but all the advantages of every other This has been
attempted here, and with what success we would re-
spectfuy submit TO the public decision. II has been
unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every
purgative medicine Is acrimonious and irritating 10
the bowels This is not Many Of them produce so
much gripping pain and revulsion in the system as TO
more than counterbaance the good to be derived from
them. These Pills produce no irritation or PAIN un-
less IL arises from prevous; existing obstruction
or arrangement in the bowels Being purely vege-
table no harm can arise from their use in any guam
tity; but it is better that amy medicine should be
taken judiciously Minute directions for their use In
the several diseases to which they are applicable are
given on the box. Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured by them we may mention
Liver Complaint, In its various forms OF Jaundice
IndigestionJ Languor and Loss OF Appetite, Lstless
ness, Irritability Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever
Fever and Ague, pain in the Side and Loins, for in
truth all these but the consequence Of diseased
action of the liver As aperient they afford prompt
and relief in Costveness, Piles Collie Dysentery
Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds with soreness
Of the body, Ulcers and impurity of the bleed. In
short, any and every case where purgative is re-
quired.
They have also produced some singularly success
full cures in Rheumatism, Gout Dropsy, Gravel Fry
sipelas Palpitation of the Heart Pains in the Back
Stomach and Side. They should be freely taken in
the spring Of the year. purify the blood and prepare
the system for the change Of seasons An occasional
dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action, and
restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood and by their stimulant action on the circua
tory system, renovate the strength OF the body and
restore the wasted diseased energies Of the whole
organism Hence an occasional dose is advantageous
even though no serious arrangement exists; but un-
necessary dosing should be carried too far as
every purgative medicine reduces the strength when
taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
pbysic is required cannot be enumerated here but
they suggest themselves to the Of every body
and it is confidently believed this pill will answer
better purpose than anything which has hitherto been
available to mankind. When their virtues are once
known the public win no lsnger doubt what remedy
TO employ when in need Of cathartic medicine.
Being sugar-wrapped they pleasant to take, and
being purely vegetable harm can arise from their
in any quantity. ...
