OR LIVER REMEDY

Us AN ARTICLE THAT EVERY BODY
L needs who is not in perfect state OF health
Tor the Lirer is second only to the heart in onr
human economy, and when that is deranged the
whole vital machinery runs wrong. TO end a
medicine pecuiiasl; adapted 20 this disease has
been the study of one OF the Proprietors, in
large and extended practice for the pas; twenty
years. and the result Of his experiment is the
IRyigvratnr, as 4 neger-fstling remedy where
medicine has any power to hep. AS Liver
Remedy it has no equal, as all testify who use
it.
A lady writing from Brooklyn, says, " Would
that c,uld express in this short letter the VAL
ae your InvIgorator has been TO me in raising
n large family Of children, for it has never faig-
ed to relieve al affections of the stomach, bow
els or attacks Of worms. Ifmothers once had
this remedy placed within their reach, and were
taught how to use it, a fearful and untold a.
mouat of agony might be saved
One of prominent bankers says, SsFive or
six years since / found myself running dowa
with liyer difficulty; rcsoeting TO your Invig-
orator, was greatly relieved, and, continuing
for a season, WAS entirely restored"
A clergyman called at our office the other
day and said he had given poor woman bot

oft she was at work earning bread for her fam
lily.
A gentleman, recently from the West, says.
while at Chicago, he was attacked with slow,
lingering fever. that baffled the skin Of physi-
claus, but the Inyigorator cured him in few
days.
One ofour city merchants said, while on
visit TO Troy, few days since, he was attacked
with bowel and stomach disorders, so as to con-
fine him to his room, he sent to the drug store
for bottle of fInvisorltor, took one dsse which
relieved him SO that he was able to attend his
business.
An acquaintance, whose business combels
him to write most ofthe time, says, he became
SO weak rs to be unable at times to hold bis
pen, while at Others, sleep would overpower
him, but the Invigorator cured him
A gentleman from Brooklyn called on us
week or two since, looking but the shadow ofa
man, with skin yellow, pile and dcathlike.-
He had been for long time suffering from
Jaundice and Dyspepsia, and unable to attend
to his business. We saw him again TO-DAY

throughout the Union. This preplrltion is tr,i-

happy results on all who usa i. Almost innu-

the best prel'arotion now before the public.

PITY THE DRUNKARD.

l pray you do not hate the drunk,
ard; he hates himself. Do not despise
him; oh, he cannot sink so low in
your opinion as he is sunk in his own.
Your hatred and contempt may rivet,
but will never rend his chains. Lend
a kind hand to pluck him from the
mire. With strong hand shatter
that bowl--remove the temptations
which, although he hates, he cannot
resist. Hate, abhor, tremble at his
sin. And for PHYS sake, for Gods
sake, for humanity's sake. rouse your
self for the question, what can be
done Without needing others
whether they follow or whether thew
stay-rushing down to the beach,
throw yourself into the boat, push
away, and bend on the oar, like a man
to the wreck. Say, l will not stand
by and see my fellow creatures perish,
They are perishing. To save them
will do anything. What luxury will /
.nos-ei~c up What indulgences will
l not abstain from What customs,
what shackles of old habits will | not
break that these hands may be freep
to pluck the drowning from the deep !?
God may help; His word my law; the
love OF His son my ruling motives; |
shall never balance poor, personal
indulgence against the good of my
country and the welfare of mankind,
Brethren, such resolutions, such high
and holy. and sustained, and selfdeny,
ing efforts the height of this evil des
mands.-Dr. Guthrie.

-" on the side of the oppressor is
power"-and the Tract Society has
not the courage to face its opposition.
They make a cowardly surrender at
the first muttering of displeasurc
from the South, and thus bring deep
hishonor upon the Christian profession
every where. The southern side of
the institution will be palsied," they
fear: in other words, their receipts
will be cut off. Do they expect the
people of the North will contribute
money to support an institution so
partial and so cowardly in its minis
trations as the Tract Society confesses
itself to be and if both its sides be-
come palsied of what use is its exist

Carrying Bundles.

Many persons have a contemplate
fear OF being seen to carry bundle,
however small, having the absurd idea
that there is a social degradation in
the act. The most trifing as well as
wcighty packages must be sent to
them, no matter how much the incon-
venience to others. This arises from
a low kind of pride. There is pride
that is higher that arises from the
consciousness of there being some
thing in the individual not to be affcc-
ted by such accidents worth and
weight of character This latter
pride was exhibited by the American
son of jerome Bonaparte, while he
was in college at Cambridge. He was
one day carrying to his room broom
he had just purchased, when he met a
friend who, noticing the broom, with
surprise exclaimed, why did you not
have it sent home ?" Il am not
ashamed to carry home what belongs
to me, was the sensible reply of young
Bonaparte. Very different pride was
this from that of the young lady who
always gave her mother all the bun
dies to carry when they went out to-
gether, because she thought it vulgar
to be seen with one hcrself.-EE.
We know Chicago banker to whom
we were introduced sometime last
spring. At that time and on various
occasions afterwards he was very af-
fable and polite, as well to us as to
others, and seemed desirous to make
himself both agreeable and conspicu-
Gus. One day he caught us carrying
bundle, and never after that would
he recognize us, although we frequent
ly met him, in the street, in the cars,
and two or three times when doing
business at his bank. That banker
has recently failed. We can pay our
debts, but he cannot pay his.

THE
LAST SIXPENCE.
BY AusIlN 4. BURIlCh.

1t was a chill, bleak morning in No
vember, that Charles Aubrey emerged
from an old shed where he had passed
the night under pile of sheep skins
He was a young man, not over two
and twenty, and yet retained great
beauty Of person, though his clothes
were torn and dirty, and his face pale
and haggard. Only one year before,
he had been left an orphan with eleven
thousand dollars in money in his pos
session. He had always been gem
erous hearted, frank and loving com.
panion, but evil associations had gath
cred about him, and in an unfortunate
hour he gave himself up to their intiu-
ence. He thought not of the value of
money, and designing knaves, under
the disguise of friendship, could al
ways draw it from him. But the poor
misguided youth had run the race, and
was now alone. His money was gone,
and his sunshine companions had left
him. He had reached the goal to-
wards which for whole year he had
been dashlnG on.
As young Aubrey stood there now,
his lips were parched, and his limbs
shook as with palsy He had mechan-
ically placed his hand in his pocket,
and took thcreirom a sixpence. He
searched furthcr-felt in every pocket
but he could find no more. That
single sixpence was the last of his for
tune.
"Ah. Charley, Charley" he murmur-
ed to himself, you have run your race.
Where now are the friends who have 50
long hung about you? One poor six
pence! 1t will buy me one glass of
grog to allay my burning thirst. Oh
would to God it would buy me one
true friend !"
He spoke thus, and with the words
came rushing through his mind the
memory of the past. He remembered
his mother as she laid him for the last
time to her bosom and blessed him
and he remembered when he saw them
cover her body up in the fowcry earth
Of the summer, not many years ago
He remembered one other, bright
eyed joyous girl, in whose keeping he
had once placed all his love, and all
his hopes Of joy. But it was gone
now There he stood with the small
coin in his hand, when he heard foot
steps approaching. lie raised his
eyes, and beheld an old woman, with
bended back, who came tottering on
slowly, and tremblingly. Her gar
ments were torn and tattered, and tn,
thin grey hair hung matted and un
combed. She stopped when she came
to where the youth stood and Leaned
heavily upon her staff.
CHARITY, good sir !" she uttered, il
a hoarse tremulous voice. "Give IN,
wherewith to purchase a single meal
and | will ask God to bless thee.'
"By my life, good woman, you arr
the very one was wishing for. Her
it is all have-it is my last six
pence Take it. have only wishe,
that it could buy me one true friend.
The old woman hesitated.
! "Will you not take it," asked Charlie

The Mother.

A softening thought of other years,
feeling linked to hours
When Life was all too bright for tears -
And Hope sang, wreathed with flowers!
A memory of affections fled
Of voices heard no more
Stirred in my spirit when read
That name of fondness DER.
Oh, MOTHER I'm that early word
What love and joys combine;
What hopes-toO Oft alas deferred,
What vigils- -griets-arc thine
Yet, never, till the hour we roam,
BY worldly thralls opprest,
Learn we to prize that truest home
A watchful mothers breast!
The thousand prayers at midnight poured
Beside our couch of woes;
The wasting weariness endured
To soften OUR reposc
Whilst never murmur marked thy tongue,
Nor tolls relaxed thy CARE
How, mother. is thy heart SO strong
To pity and forbears
What filial fondneSs e'er repaid
Or could repay the past -
Alas! for gratitude decay'd!
Regrets that rarely last
lis only when the dust is thrown
Thy lifeless bosom DER,
We muse upon thy kindness shown
And wish we'd loved thee more!
'Tis only when thy lips are cold
We mourn with late regret,
Mid myriad memories Of old
The days forever set
And not an act--nor look-nor thought
Against thy meek control,
But with a sad remembrance fraught
Wakes anguish in the soul
On every land-in every cline
True to her sacred cause,
Filled with that eifiuence sublime
From which her strength she draws,
Still is the Mothers lot the same
The Mothers lot as tried;
Then, oh may Nations guard that name
With tilial power and pride
