AMERICAN ORGAN.
A Domestic Scene.
ny MRS. HrnAss.


Twas early day, and sunlight streamed
Soft through quiet room,
That hush'd, but not forsaken seem'd,
Still but with nought of gloom;
For there, secure in happy age,
Whose hope is from above,
father communed with the page
OF Heavens recorded love.
Pure fell the beam, and meekly bright
On his gray, holy hair,
And touched the book with tendercst light,
As II its shrine were there;
But OH! that patriarch's aspect shone
With something loyelier far
A radiance, oil the spirits own,
Caught not from sun or star.
Some word of life cen then had met
His calm, benignant eye;
Some ancient promise, breathing yet
0fimmortality;
Some hearts deep language, where the glow
0fquenchless faith suryivesi
For every feature said, !" know
That my Redeemer lives"
And silent stood his children by,
flushing their very breath
Before the solemn sanctity
or thought Ger sweeping death;
Silent vet did not each young breast,
With love and reverence melt?
Oh best be those fair girls, and blest
That home where God Is felt.

its virtues in any community where it has been en-
ployed So wide is the field of its usefulness and 30
numerous the cases of its cures that almost every
section Of the country abounds in persons publicly
known, who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs by its When
once tried its superiority every other medicine
ofis kind is too apparent to escape observation and
where its virtues known the public no lenger hes

dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs which

ties of Colds, Coughs, Hoarseness, &c and for child

The washington Monument.

To the Editor Of the American Organ:
SIR: Agreeably TO resolution Of Eutd,o Council
the suboined paper is transmitted you for publca-
ton. A word or two in connexion with the sub
ect. The object contemplated must commend H.
self TO every true American. The only controversy
that possibly exist Is with regard 10 tb tmeans
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, win fail to secure those uniform
and thorough supplies which win be the natural
and unfailng results Of the plan below.
Oar plan proposes to commence with the high
est body known 10 the order, and to 20 forth with
It's authority. 1.-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-
sequenty the desired results will 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-
surer Of Eutaw Council
Received, Washington, May %, 1855, of the
Treasurer of Eutaw Council, Georgetown, d. O.,
one hundred and my dollars, in aid Of the Wash
ington National Monument Society, in part Of n
contribution Of SIR hundred dollars voted by said
Eutas Council. Jso NJ. McCALLA,
"Treas. Washington National Monument"
Here, then, Is a specimen Of the working Of the
plan we recommend--an earnest Of what il 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
viii 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
will uprise in beauty and grandeur until its stain
less marble and its towering altitude shall tly rep
resent alike the purity Of the life and the splendor
Of the fame Of Washington. GEoRGErowE.

/ a pared 10 meet that demand, and
an extensive trial Of It's virtues
has conclusivey shown with what success il accom-
plishes the purpose designed. II is easy 70 make
physical Pill but not easy TO make the best Of all
PlB-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-
specially 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 30
much gripping pain and reyulsion 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 previously existing obstruction
or arrangement in the bowels Being purely yege-
table, no harm can arise from their use IN any guam
tty; but ii Is better that anys medicine should be
taken judiciousy Minute directions for their use in
the several diseases TO which they 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 81 Jaundice,
Indigestion, Languor and Loss Of Appetite, Listless-
ness Irritabty Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever,
Fever and Ague, pain in the Side and Loins, for in
truth all these are but the consequences Of diseased
action Of the liver. As aperient they afford prompt
and sure relief in Costveness, Piles Collie Dysenery,
Humors, Scrofula and Scnrvy, Colds, with soreness
of the body, Ulcers and impurity Of the blood. In
short, any and every case where purgative 10 re-
quired.
They have also produced some singuarIy success
full cures in Rheumatism, Govt 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. to purify the blood andprepare
the system for the change of seasons An occasional
dose stimulates the stomach into healthy action and
restores the appetite and yigor. They purify the
blood and by their stimulant action on the crcua-
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 never be carried too far as
every purgatve medicine reduces the strength, when
taken to excess The thousand cases in which q
physic 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 longer doubt what remedy
to employ when in need Of u cathartic medicine.
