that can possibly exist is with regard to tb tmeans
best adapted 10 the sccurement 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 resorted to. That course
we convinced, will fail to secure those uniform
and thorough supplies which win be the natural
and unfailng results Of the plan below.
Our plan proposes 10 commence with the high.
est body known to the order, and to 20 forth with
its authority. If the plan be adopted, the Grand
Council Of the United States will act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils and they in turn
win exert similar influence upon the subordinate
councils The system will be thorough and con-
sequently the desired results will be but legitimate
effects. Nor is this a mere theory, INFESTED and
untried. We call attention TO the following paper

Little NelIy,s Death-Bed

Gently tread We at her bedside,
For our darling's dying now
Her clear sparkling eye is glazing,
Aud the death-damp chills her brow.
Softly whisper-sob but slowly,
For the angels now are come,
Sent by Him, the high and holy,
To convey her spirit home,
Hear ye not the gentle rustling
OF their golden beaming wingsS
Feel We not the holy thrilling
Their angelic presence bringsS
Look, our darling now has seen them
As they gathered round her bed
Pretty, pretty" falleth family
She is dying--she is dead.
She is desd--yet still there fingers
On her lip that parting smile;
Each one gazing feels more holy,
More like Heaven for the while:
For they think the blessed angels,
AS they bore her soul away,
Left a trace of bliss immortal
Stamped upon her infant clay.

plishes the purpose designed II is easy TO make
physical Pill but not easy TO make the best OF all
Pis-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-
spectuy submit TO the public decision. II has been
unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every
purgative medicine is acrimonious and Irritating TO
the bowels This is not Many Of them produce 30
much gripping pain and revulsion in the system as to
more than counterbaanoe the good to be derived from
them These Pills produce no irritation or pain, UNI
less il arises from previously existing obstruction
or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely vege-
table, no harm arise from their use IN any guam
tity; but il is better that any medicine should be
taken judciously 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
Indigestion Languor and Loss Of Appetite, Listless-
ness, Irritability, Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever
Fever and Ague pain in the Side and Lons, for IN
TRUTH all these but the consequence OF diseased
action Of the liver As an aperent they afford prompt

Humors Scrofula, and Scurvy, Colds, with soreness
of the body, Ulcers and impurity Of the bleod. In
short, any and every case where purgative is re-
quired.
They have also produced some singularly success

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 the circula
tory system, renovate the strength Of the body, and
restore the wasted diseased energies Of the whole
organism. Hence occasional dose is advantageous
even though serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far as
every purgatve medicine reduces the strength when
taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason 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 will no longer doubt what remedy
to employ when in need of cathartic medicine.
Being sugar-wrapped they are pleasant to take and
being purely vegetable no harm arise from their
use in any quantity.
