jah of Tanjore, 1lS $780, and others on an equally
muni6cent scale The British territory in India IL

Could we read the other side of the story and
lsfn the history of extorton which tile poor con-
quered race endured, we might not wonder at the
maghit ude Of these sums, nor at the bloody ven
geance they now taking.
There needs but some surprising act OF wrong
To break the patience that has bent so long;
There needs but some short, sudden burst OF ire
May chance to set the general thing on hre
There needs hut some fair prospect OF relief,
Enough to seize the general belief,
Some holy jussle, absurd price,
To raise one common struggle for release.
Think not that prodigies must rule state
That great revulsons spring from something great
The softest curl that fl:ats on beauty's brow,
The smallest leaf t,at fiutters on the Dough,
Is not more lightly easy to dcrange,
Than human minds acih to sp;M for change.
Out breaks at once the far resounding cay,
The standard of revolt is raised on high,
The n.urky cloud has g'ite'i from the sun,
The tale of Englands tyranny is done
Aud torturing vengeance grinds us she destroys,
Till Sicils vespers seem the game Of boys.

murdered by her husband in that village, last

tears. At the grave the same child approached

subject to redundancy of vitiated bile at this sea-
son. and it is as dangerous as 1t ID prevalent, OUT
Brandreths Pills afford an invaluable and efficient
protection By their occasional use we prevent the
collection of those impurities, which, when In suf-
rent quantities cause so much danger to the bodys
health. They soon cure liver complaints, dyspcp-
sia loss of appetite pain in the head heart burn,

Brandreth's Theory of Disease.
Never extract blood. Blood is the life. By alb.
stracng it in painful diseases you may occasion the
patient ease but remember this only the reduc
ton lssening the po,cer to eel And by thus taking
away natures tools, you may prevent her from full

Brandreth's Pills accord with Nature.
Natures remedy in fact. When sudden, acute or
continued pain occurs from any cause, then to in
sure quick return to health, you must use Bran
dreth S Pills, which will soon relieve every organ
from undue pressure, and remove those humors,
whose presence often occasions such terrible suffer-
