A Day Of National Humiliation, Fast
ing and Prayer.

A RECOMMENDATION TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED SITES.
Numerous appeals have been made to me
by pious and patriotic associations and citi-
zens, in view of the present distracted and
dangerous condition of our country, to rec
ommend that day be set apart for humii.
alton, fasting and prayer throughout the
Union. In compliance with their request
and my own sense of duty, designate
FRIDAY, THE 4TH OF JANUARY, 1861,
for this purpose, and Recommend that the
people assemble on that day, according to
their several forms of worship,.to keep it as
a solemn fast.
The Union of the states is at the present
moment threatened with alarming and imme-
diate danger-panic and distress of a fearful
character prevail throughout the land our
laboring population are without employ.
ment, and consequently deprived of the
means OF earning their bread-indeed, hope
seems to have deserted the minds of men.
All classes are wholly disregarded.
In this, the hour of our calamity and per.
il. to whom shall we resort for relief but to
the God of our Fathers? His omnipotent
arm only can save us from the awful effects
of our own crimes and follies-our own in-
gratitude and guilt towards our Heavenly
Father.
Let US, then, with deep contrition and
penitent sorrow, unite in humbling our.
selves before the Most High, in confessng
our individual and national sins, and in ack-
nowledging the justice of our punishment.
Let US implore Him to remove from our
hearts that false pride of opinion which
would impel US to persevere in wrong for
the sake of consistency, rather than yield a
just submission to the unforeseen exigencies
by which we are now surrounded. Let US,
with deep reverence, beseech him to restore
the friendship and good will which prevailed
in former days among the people OF the sew
eral States, and, above all, to save US from
the horrors of civil war and blood guilt
ness" Let our fervent prayers ascend to
His throne, that He would not desert us in
this hour of extreme peril, but remember
us as he did our fathers in the darkest days
of the Revolution, and preserve our Consti-
tuition and our Union-the work of their
hands-for ages yet to come. An omnipo-
tent Providence may overrule existing evils
for permanent good. He can make the
wrath of man to praise Him, and the re-
mainder of wrath He can restrain. Let me
invoke every individual, in whatever sphere
of life he may be placed, to feel personal
responsibility to God and his country for
keeping this day holy, and for contributing
all in his power to romove our actual and
impending difficulties.

take the liberty of mentioning, without the authors
permission. that lovely girl of seventeen Helen Wa
terston Of Boston, and of the venerable
Josiah Quincy lies buried in the Protestant Cemetery
at Naples. verse Of our poets is her tombstone
Fold her, Father, in thine AIMS.
And let her henceforh be
messenger of love between
Our human hearts and thee"
EDS. INDEPENDENT.
Igve thee joy! know to thee
The dearest spot on earth must be
Where sleeps thy loved one by the Summer sea.
Where, near her sweetest poets tomb,
The land of Virgil gave thee room
To lay thy flower with her perpetual bloom.
1 know that when the sky shut down
Behind thee on the cleaning town,
On Baiae's baths and ? Osilippo's crown;
And, through thy tears, the mOcking day
Burned 1schias mountain lines away,
And Capri melted in its sunny bay.
Through thy great farewell sorrow shot
The sharp pang of bitter thought
That slaves must tread around that holy spot.
Thou knowst not the land was blest
In giving that beloved rest,
Holding the fond hope closer to her breast.
That every sweet and sanity grave
Was freedoms prophecy, and gave
Tho pledge of Heaven to sanctfy and save.
That pledge is answered. To thy ear
The unclaimed city sends its cheer
And, turned to joy, the muffied bells of fear
Ring Victor in. The land sits free
And happy by the Summer sea,
And Bourbon Naples now is Italy
She smiles above her broken chain
The languid smile that follows pain,
Stretching her cramped limbs to the sun again.
Oh. joy for all. who hear her call
From CamaldOli's convent wall
And ElmOr's towers in freedoms carnival!
new life breathes among her vines
And olives, like the breath of pines
Blown downward from the breezy Apprentices.
Lean, oh my friend, to meet that breath,
Rejoice as one who witnesseth
Beauty from ashes rise and life from death!
Thy sorrow shall no more be pain,
Its tears shall fall in sanlit rain,
Writing the grave with flowers: ''Arisen again!'

HEAoAcHE is the favorite sign by which nature
makes known any deviation whatever from the nat
ural state of the BRAIN and viewed in this light it
may be looked on as a safeguard intended 10 give
notice of disease which might otherwise escape at
ten'iou, tll too late 10 be rcmedied and is ind-
cations should never be neglected Headaches may
be classified under two names, viz: Symptomatic
and ldiopathic. Symptomatic Headache is exceed
ngly common and is the precursor Of great varie-
~ of diseases, among which are ApopeXy, G0ut,
Rheumatism and all lcbne Diseases In its nervous
form It is sympathetic of diseases of the stomach
constituting sick headache, of hepatic disease CON
shutting bilious headache Of worms, constipation
and other disorders of the bowels, as well as renal
and uterine affections. Diseases of the heart are
very frequently attended with Headaches Armenia
and plethora are also affections which frequently
occasion headache. ldopathc Headache is also
very common, being usually distinguished by the
name Of nervous headache, sometimes coming on
suddenly IN a state Of apparently sound health and
prostratng at the mental and physical energies,
and ia other instances it comes on slowly, heralded
10y depression Of spirit 0r acerbily Of temper. In
most instances the pain in the front of the head,
over one or both eyes, and sometimes provoking
vomiting; under this class may also be named
Neuralgia
For the treatment Of either class Of Headache the
Cepnalc Pills have been found a sure and safe rem
edy, relieving the most acute pains a few minutes,
and by It's subtle power eradicating the diseases of
which Headache Is the unerring index.

CONSTIPATION OR cosTIvENEss.

No one of the many ills flesh is heir to- is so
prevalent, so little understood and so much neg
lected as Costyeness. Often originating in care
lessness, or sedentary habits 1t is regarded as
slight disorder Of too little consequence to excite
anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and COM

seases, and unless early eradcated it will bring the
sufferer to an ntimely grave. Among the lighter
evils ofwhlch costveness is the usual attendant

ancholy and Insanity, first Indicate their presence
in the system by this alarming symptom. Not UNI
frequently the diseases named originate in Constpa-
ton, but take on an independent existence unless
the cause is eradicated in early stage. From
all these considerations it follows that the disorder
should receive immediate attention whenever it oc-
ours, and no person should neglect to get box of
