roa ALL THE PURPOSES OF A

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgative pill which could be relied on AZ
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sive trial Of its virtues has ncusively shown with
what success it accompishes the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills -one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advan tages, of
every other: This has been ates%Rtsd here and
the public decision. It has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
els. This is not. Many Of them produce 50 much
gripping pain and revulsion in the systOna a. moro
than eounterbalance good to be derived FROM
unless it arise from previously existing obstrue
ton or arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use IN any
be taken judiciously. Minute directions fer their
use in tho several diseases to which they are ap-
paints which sre been speedily cured s. the e e
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundice. Indigestion, Languor and Loss OF APP
petite, Iistlessncss, Irritability, Bilious Headache
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Loins for, in TRUTH all these are but the con.
sequence Of diseased action in the liver. As an
apcrient they afford prompt and relief in Co.'S
tiveness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors. scrofula
and Scurvy, Colds with soreness Of the body Ulcers
and inpurity of the blood, Irregularities; in short,
They have also produced some singularly sue

taken in the spring Of the year. to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
lite and vigor They purify the blood and, by their
stimuant action on the crculatory system, reno
vate the strength of tho body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous, even
though serious arrangement exists but un.
necessary dosing should never be carried too Ear,
as every purgstive medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
Physic is required cannot be enumerated here, mt
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body; and it is confidently believed this pill viii
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need OF 4
eathartc medicine. Being sMgar-wrapped, they are
pleasant to take, aud being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use liz any quantity.

The DIFFERENCE.-A Settler writing for the
Bulletin, thus draws the true distinction between
Settlers and Squatters:
There has been in this State two classes,
each claiming to be settlers, one only of which
is justly entitled to be in good faith, and hon.
estly so esteemed. Those men who have loca-
ted upon land within the State in good faith
and honestly under the belief that the laws of
the State and the United States authorized and
would protect that settlement, and having so
settled, have fenced, cultivated, built upon and
improved those lands so located, are, in truth
and fact, Settlers" and are entitled to all the
support and protection the laws can give them.
Those, on the other hand, who have 4" squatted"
down on land, to despoil it of its wood and
timber, to strip it of all that makes it valuable
and then abandon it, are not Settlers, but no
better than robbers The former class compose
the vast majority of the farming population of
our State. Encouraged by seemingly liberal
pre-emption system, they have left their homes
in the older States, and pursuing their long and
weary way across the toilsome deserts separa-
ting their old from their new abode, have bro't
with them their wives and children, their cattle
and household gods; and here, in new land,
and upon the shores of new and to them
hitherto unknown ocean, built up and estab-
lished State the wonder and-whch should
be- and, under true laws, would have been
the glory of the world

SMILEs.-Nothing on earth can smile but a
man Gems may fash reflected light but what
is diamond flash compared with an eye-fash
and mirth flash? Flowers cannot smile. This
is charm which even they cannot claim
Birds cannot smile, nor can any living thing
1t is the prerogative of man. 1t is the color
which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy
these three. 1t is the light in the window of
the face, by which the heart signifies to father,
husband, or friend, that it is at home and wait
ing. A face that cannot smile is like bud that
cannot blossom, and dries up on the stalk
Laughter is day, and sobriety is night, and a
smile is the twilight that hovers gently between
both more bewtching than either. But all
smiles are not alike The cheerfulness of vanity
is not like the cheerfulness of love. The smile
of gratified pride is not like the radiance of
goodness and truth. The rains of summer fall
alike upon all trees and shrubs. But when the
storm passes, and every leaf hangs a drip, each
gentle puff of wind brings down pretty shower
and every drop brings with it something of the
nature of the leaf or blossom on which it hung
the roadside leaf yields dust; the the walnut
leaf, bitterness; some flowers, poison; while the
grape BLOSSOM the rose and the sweet briar lend
their aroma to the twinkling drops, and send
them down in perfumed showers. And so it is
with smiles which every heart perfumes ac-
cording to its nature-selfshness is acrid ;
pride bitter; good will, sweet and fragrant
