As far from childhood's morning come
As to the graves forgeiinl night

Hope promised but TO bring us here,
And reason takes the guidance now
One backward look--ihe last--the last!
Ons silent tear--for Youth Is past
Who goes with Hope and Passion backS
Who comes with me and Memory onp
Oh, lonely looks the downward track
Joys music hush'd Hopes roses gone
To Pleasure and her giddy troop
Farewell without sigh or tear
But heart gives way, and spirits droop,
To think that Love may leave us here!
Have we no charm when Youth Is nown-
Midway to death left sad alone!
Yet stay las 'twere a twilight star
That sends its thread across the wave,
see Frightening light, from far,
Steal down path beyond the grave!
And now bless God Tits golden line
Comes DER, and lights my shadowy way,
And shows the dear hand clasp'd in mine!
But list what those sweet voices say
The better lands in sight,
And, by its Christening light,
An love from life's midway is driven,
Save hers whose clasped hand will bring

6s.s.i.sau..a-uan extensive trial of its virtues
has conclusively shown with what success 1t accom-.
pshes the purpose designed. 1t is easy to make q
physical Pi but not 80 easy to make the best of ali
Pillsone 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-
spectlly submit to the public decision. II has been
unfortunate for the patient hitherto that amostevery
purgative medicine ia acrimonious and irritating To
The bowels This is not. Many Of them produce 80
much gripping pain and revulsion in the system as to
than counterbalance the good to be derived from
them. These Pills produce no irritation or pain, I'M
less ii arises from prevousy existing obstruction
or arrangement in the bowels Being purely vege-
table, no harm arise from their use in any guam
tity; but Ii is better that any medicine should be
taken udiciously Minute directions for their in
the several diseases TO which they are applicable
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,
Indigestion, Languor and Loss of Appetite, Listless
ness Irritabiity Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever,
Fever and Ague, pain in the Side and Loins for IN
TRUTH all these are but the consequence of diseased
action of the liver. As aperient they afford prompt
and sure relief in Costiveness Piles Collie, Dysentery,
Humors, Scrotuls, and Scurvy, Colds, with soreness
Of the body, Ulcers and impurity of the blood In
short, any and every case where purgative is re-
quired.
They have also produced some singularly success
full cures in Rheumatism, Govt Dropsy, Gravel, Fry
sipelas, Palpitaton Of the Heart Pains in the Back,
Stomach and Side. They should be freely taken in
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 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 un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too FAR as
every purgative medicine reduces the strength when
taken to excess. The thousand cases in which a
physc 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 will no longer doubt what remedy
10 employ when in need Of a cathartic medicine.
Being sugar-wrapped they are pleasant to take, and
being purely vegetable, harm can arise from their
use in any quantity.
For minute directions, see the wrapper on the Box.

To the Editor Of the american Organ:
SIR: Agreeably TO resolution Of Eutdp Council
the suboined paper is transmitted you for publica
ton. A word or two in connexion with the sub
ect. The object contemplated must commend it.
self to every true American. The only controversy
that possibly exist il with regard 20 tb tmesns
best adapted to 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 resortedto That course,
we are convinced will fail to secure those uniform
and thorough supplies which will be the natural
and unfailing results Of the plan below.
Our plan proposes to commence with the high
est body known to the order, and to go forth with
it, authority. Ifthe plan be adopted the Grand
Council Of the United States will act Immediately
upon the State Grand Councils, and they in turn
will exert similar influence upon the subordinate
councils. The system win be thorough, and con-
sequcntly the desired results win be but legitimate
effects. Nor IL this a mere theory, INFESTED and
untried We call attention 10 the following paper,
the original Of which Is In the hands Of the Trea-
surer Of Eutaw Council

Treasurer Of Eutaw Council, Georgetown, d. G.,

Here, then, Is a specimen Of the working Of the
plan we recommcnd-an earnest Of what t Is able
to accomplish kind Of first fruits Of the album
dant harvest which may be gathered from all sec-
tons Of our native land. And thus the Monument
win no longer be dependent upon the uncertain
and insufficient supplies which have heretofore been
raised by the operation Of imperfect plans. But
that appropriate memorial Of the nations gratitude
win uprise in beauty and grandeur until its stain

resent alike the purity Of the life and the spendor
