RED BY THE FOREST REMEDIES.

ANOTHER INSTANCE OF THE LOST FACUL.
TIES or THE HUMAN SYSTEM RESTO-
RED BY THE FOREST REMEDIES.
Mr. JoTHAN 7. CoEDlr, respectable citiz n of
Orange, N sends us the following Certificate OF
the of Mrs Condit oi Palsey, by the use of the
FOREST WINE and Pills.
ORANGE, n J., Feb l4th. 1854.
Dr. G. w. HAsEY.. Dear Sir:---My wife had a
stroke Of Pasey, so severe that her whole system
was completely paralysed She continued to grow
weaker Tor nearly two years, losing n use and sem
sibiiity OF her body and limbs, We almost despaircd
of her recovery. Al this time she began 10 take
your Medicines. Their good effects were soon eX
pcrenced. She began gradually to improve in
health, and in few months recovered entirely
The extraordinary effects OF your Wine and Pills in
curing my wife OF complaint which we never eX.
pectcd her to get the better of, induces duty
we owe TO yourself and the public to send you this
certificates: JoTHAN p. CoNplr
am acquainted with Mr.. lothian F. Condit, and
know the above TO be true.
III, p 1lERDMAN, Esq
The case OF Mrs. Condit is a striking coincidence
of the power of the Forest Remedies in restoring
the lost energies OF the animal economy. They ex
ert peculiar influence on the nervous system and
blood, penetrate the minutest vessels that verge TO
the skin, equalizing the circulation and reSuscita
ting the vitality OF every part of the body. In all
Nervous Disorders, Debility, Affections OF the Kid
neys, Dyspepsia, Low Spirits, Constitutional Weak
ness, and various Other complaints, these remedies
have proved eminentlly succcsslu.

A "NEw" poETEss.--The Wheeling


tnhAigencerpublishes a charming poem - Edwin
and Geraldine"--undcr the nom de plume Of pda
Loutt A portion only, we shall copy here. The
lovers had wandered ont to sny Good bye "...and
far from the haunts OF men they sat the down b
side fil", and thought themselves aone. But the
sweet poetess says.
The branches Of The stately iroes,
BY passing breezes stirred
Above them bent, as if intent
On catching each low word
Fair blosso too, on either hand.
Stood by in listening crowds,
Tolearn their secret that the devil
Might tell ii to the clouds.
The moon, half pausing rs she heard,
Enclosed her silver bars
To let the echo OF the sound
Glide upward 10 the stars;
And US those shadowy whispers reached
The shining orbs above,
They threw some trembling glances down.
As tho to BLISS their love.
The Merry ripples at their feet
Leapt lightly on the shore,
Heard what they said, and tg the waves
Rehearsed the story DER.
Then on their eur a murmur stole.
A murmur sad aud sweet,
Such as bursts forth when loving hearts
PART never more to meet.
Exquisite amt iti Equal to the charming verses
'f Amelia which at their first appearance in the
Louisville Journal created SO much stir in the
literary circles.

We have heard of no wheat SO thick they could not
shock it in the field, but there is good crop Of
wheat this year man need want.

From the National Intelligencer, June 29.

are many of those who esteemed Mr. Calhoun
in life. and respect his memory in death, who
will regret that this letter has been publish.
ed; but having been given to the public, we
have no right to withhold it from our readers
If it contribute nothing to the fame of the
distinguished writer as an American states
man, in the broad and high significance of
the term, it will contribute something to a
tight understanding of the influences which
formed and directed sectional sentiment in
the South, and which, by reflex, have aone
much to shape it in :he North. We do not
feel free, under the circumstances, to indulge
in any remark on what we might deem the
excep'onable spirit and doctrines of this
posthumous letter, and can only express our
regret at the idosyncrasies of a great intellect
so gifted with the power of good fo- his whole
country, bad it preserved the noble and phi
lanthropic direction which it received in its
outset in the Madisonan Era.

evils, either 70 make US despicabe in the eyes Of

But 1t is neither the expense nor trouble of them

what Can the Matter Be Z

We were greatly amazed to find in the edi-
torial columns Of the Sentinel of this morning,
the following significant paragraph:
1--WE believe that all parties have come to the
conclusion that obscure, unknown, and incompe-
tent men shall not fill the Presidential chair They
are sick and tired of such men. They want able,
useful, and eminent mcn--men who have rendered
public services-men who are known and hon
orcd-men who fill large space in the public eye"
Can it be possible that our prudent neigh
Dor designed this as gentle admonition to that
worthy and estimable individual who now oc-
cupies the White House? Although such is
the fair inference to be drawn from the para
graph, yet we can scarcely credit the fact, that
the organ of Democratic Senate should init
mate that Franklin Pierce is an obscure, UNI
known, and incompetent" man. Really this is
rank treason, and we should be greatly sur
prised if the Court Journal permits it to pass
unnoticed and UNPUBLISHED. The present con-
dition Of the administration party requires that
so fragrant breach Of discipline should be
visited with severe castigation. So, Mr.. Sen
tiael, look out for Forney's lash.
