The Proprietor has succeeded (from dlrec-

OIL and Lime so perfectly, that the taste OF
the Oil, which is naueseous to persons gen.
orally, is entirely overcome, and it can be ta-
ken by the most delicate females with pleas
ure. And as regards the benefit of this ar
ticle over the pure oil, the following case, by
Prof Stone, is sufficient to convince the most
skeptical. The young lady was "a years Of
age.
"Her disease was one of unmixed phthisis,
which had been expected to terminate in the
course Of a few months, fatally. The upper
part of both her lungs was filled with tuber-
cles; and in some places were beginning to

The treatment of cod liver oil was at first
used, but without marked improvement. The
phosphate of lime WINS then administered with
the oil, and the result, as in the case of many
others, was soon apparent. The patient was

The Love of a True Woman.

Oh! the priceless value of the love of a
true woman! Gold cannot purchase gem so
precious! Titles and honors confer upon the
heart no such serene happiness In our dark.
es: moments, when disappointment and ingrat-
ltude with cor:oding care gather around, and
even the gaunt form of poverty menaces with
skeleton finger, it CLEANS with an angels smile
Time cannot mark its briliancy, distance but
strengthens its influence; bolts and bars can
not limit its progress, it follows the prisoner
into his dark cell and sweetens the homely
and degraded morsel that appeases his hunger,
and in the silence of midnight it plays around
his heart and in his dreams he folds to his bos
ON the form Of her who loves on still, though
the world has turned coldly upon him. The
couch made by the hand of loved one, is soft
to the weary limbs of the sick sufferer and the
potion administered by the hand of loved one,
loses half its bitterness. The pillow carefully
adjusted by her, brings regose to the fevered
brain, and her words of encouragement re.
wives the sinking spirit. 1t would almost seem
that God, compassionating woman's frailty, had
planted this jewel in her breast, whose heaven

in her heart another Eden, where perennial
flowers forever bloom, and crystal waters gush

The Wife.

The leading features in the character of
good woman are miIdness. complaisance, and
equanimity of temper. The man, if he be q
worthy and provident husband, is immersed in
thousand cares. His mind is agitated, his
memory loaded and his body fatigued. He re.
tires from the hustle of lheiworld, chargrined
perhaps by disappointment, angry at insolent
and perfidious people, and terrified lest his un-
avoidable connections with such people should
make him appear perfidious himself. Is this
the time for the wife of his bosom, his dearest
and most intimate friend. to add to his vexa-
tiQns, to increase the fever Of an overburdened
mind, by contentious tongue or disconts0t-
ed brow? Business, in its most prosperous
state. is full Of anxiety and turmoil OF, how
dear to the memory Of man is the wife who
clothes her face in smiles, who uses gentle exs
pressons. and who makes her lap soft to re-
ceive and hush his cares to rest. There is NOT
10 nature so fascinating an object as faithful,
tender and affectionate wife.

is constantly receiving those tokens of respect
and admiration which he so bravely won and
so justly deserves. We see that the noble la

have lately presented him an exceedingly fine
silver pitcher, as testimonial of their gratifi-
cation at his able and energetic conduct during
the late campaign. This is the fourth or fifth
present of the kind he has received, since the
triumph Of our heaven>born principles in An
gust; and as proof that he has gained the ad-
miration and well. wishes Of the people gener-
ally, We are assured that his subscription list
has almost double as many names at present
as it had one year ago! Such conduct on the
part Of Kentuckiansis is really characteristic, and
stands forth as a just compliment to the INTEL
ligence and patriotism Of the ed itor of the
Louisville Journal. Verify, the country is bIes-

Privilege Of the Confessional trial was
had in Richmond, Va, last week, of John
Cronin, for the murder of his wife for unfaith-
tnlness to her marriage vows. He had infict.
ed such injuries as to cause her death. Pre-
vions to her death, but when there was no i'm.
mediate danger of that event, she had confess
ed to the Catholic priest, in the presence
of her husband, that the charge against her BY
her husband was untrue. The statement made
in the sacramental confession the priest de-
clIned TO divulge, as it was not consistent with
his duty as a Catholic minister. knowledge
obtained in his civil capacity as an individual
and citizen, he wonld freely impart, but as
questioned in his capacity as Catholic minis
ter, he was bound to keep the secrets of the
confessional Not even the Pope himself could
induce him to violate that secresy, though death
were the penalty for refusal. The Court suss
tanned the witness. The Judge lid he regard-
ed any Infringement upon the teneas of any re-
ligious denomination as violation of the fun
damental law, which guarantees perfect free-
dom to all classes in the exercise of their res
Iigous duties. To encroach upon the confess
sional, which was well understo cd to be res
garded as fundamental tenet in the CATHOLIC
Church, would be to ignore the bill of rights
so far as it is applicable to that Church. In view
of these circ umstances, he felt no hesitation id
ruling that priest enjoys privilege of ex-
emption from revealing what is communicated
to him at the confessional. The jury returned
verdict OF voluntary mansaughter. 4
