have, in a multitude of cases, cured these inveterate and
deep-rooted complaints in their worst and most hopeless
stages. The Drops are also given with success for violent
eruptions after the mcascls, red blotclics, festering (?I‘ll]7fIOIl;%‘,
and pimplrs on the face; and in connection with Dr. .lI-III}! s
Liiiiincnt, they remove white swcllzngs of the joiiits. Ilic
Scrofula, in its early shapes of mere tumours behind the ears
and under the chin, and swelling of the upper lip and nose,
will not only quickly yield to this preparation, but scrofuloizs
ulcers, which have spread to such an extent and depth, as to
corrode t/ic cartilrgcs and qflcct the bones with corzcs, have been
ggrafdually and peruianeiitly hcalcd_, by the persevering admi-
nistration,of this powertul medicine; the sunken squalid
countenance restored to its florid hue,‘thc vital energy rc-
establislied, and the whole system purified aiid_invig0ratcd.
They are also the best Spring and Autumnal. 1’Iiystc.

From many other proofs of the superior yirtucs of Dr
Rr.I_fc’.~' Drops, the Proprietor selects the following

1i\"l‘ERES'I‘1.\'G CASES.

[ETA Lady, to whom reference can be made, was for years

amictcd with humours on her neck, accompanied with fre-
quent itchin-;: eruptions, and ruiuiing sores. She had tried
various remedies and had taken the best medical advice, but
could get no permanent relief, and her case daily hccoining
worse, fears were entertained of it fatal termination of her
complaint, when a. friend provideiitlyrecommended the Bota-
nical Drops, four bottles of which effected it complete cure,
to the surprise and joy of herselt and friends, _
]I:7~.\ Child of 8 years, had lost the use of his arms, one
leg was almost crippled, hip dropped out of place, thigh and
arms swollen and broke open in several places, and many of
the sores had pcnrrratcil down to the bone. On taking these
Drops he recovered the use of his limbs, the sores healed up,
and he was restored to health, although thought incurable.

[Ij’A young Man, near ‘Boston, was reduced so low by
eruptions and sores in various parts of his body, cspeciaiw
his neck and hands ; weakness at the stomach, loss of appe-
tite, general debility, and gradual decline of the wiiole
system, so as to threaten an approacliiiig Consurnptioii. Ile
5.-xas entirely cured, and restored to a fine state of health, by
‘live orsix bottles of these Drops. _

11j’A Married Lady was for years afllictcd with erii tions
on the face, head, ears, and vai'ioi_is parts of tlie.bo y, at-
tended with violent itching, burning, <§:c. had tried many
prescriptions without effect; was confined to_her room, and
;lerlined all company. She was cured by taking four bottles
oftliese Drops.

B3’ A. Lad belonging to Saugus, whose head was covered
gill over with sores and blotchcs, was wholly cured by a few
bottles, after every other remedy had failed. _

It:/"A Child five years old, had her face covered with a
scab, various eruptions about the body, and was blind Of both
eyes. She was cured by taking fi\'c bottles.

A tlorrespondent writes thus : “ I have had Ulcers on my
jogs so 1,,-H1 that 1 expected to lose the use of them, and could
gm). walk nn criitclies; two pieces of bone came away from
my right leg; whcii licaring of your Itrlfrrs 130111711601 DWI’-9:

“'.I‘iII£RE’S NOT A JOY THE WORLD CAN
GIVE, LIKE THAT IT TAKES AVVAY.”
Tbougli many an eye is bright around,
And many a laughing lip,

Unconscious of the morrow’s fate,
llilay still ol'ple.'tsui'0 sip :—

'.l'liou,gl. liglitsome forms around may flit,
liispir’d by feelings gay.

“'l‘liere’s not ajoy the world can give
Like that it takes away.”

It steals the licart’s first tender bloom,
And dead the chill it leaves

O'er each line fctfllllg that around
The yotitliful bosom wieatlis;

And those that most have ti'od its palli,
And yielded to its sway,

Own there is nothing it can give
For all it takes away.

Its joys are heartless and nntrtie,
And end in pain and care;

lly it alone the brilliant eye -
ls stinkcn in despair.

The once red lip is pale and cold,
The raven tress is gray-

And nothing, notliing it can give
For what it takes away.

Oh trust not to the sceining smilo
That on the clicck may glow,

’Tis but a will that seeks to hide,
A ruiu'd heart below-

As nioitiitaiii streams are coldest far
On which the sunbeams play ;—
“Tliei'c’s not a joy the world can give,

Like that it takes away.”

RHSCELLANY.

 

HINT TU I*‘AI7l‘i‘-IEERFS.

Ofiiccs were created for the public, not
for the incumbents. They ncvertcliless con-
Stilllte faithful rewards to merit ; and, when
Spontaneously conferred, are among the
highest honors that a free people can bes-
tow. To dcscrvc them is worthy ofyour
ambition; but to depend upon them, as it
means Oflivcliiiood, would be unreasona-
‘sic and unwise, it" not daiigei'ous. A thirst
for office is almost as bad as a thirst for
rum. The more either are indulged, the
more craving they become. Every repeti-
tion oftlie potion but begets new (lt?Sll'CS,
until finally, the passion, in one case, ter-
ruiiiatcs in dclirzmz tcrmcns, and in the oth-
er, in (Iclz'riu.Iz coizrliclrtlum. lhave known
many a worthy man ruined in his usefulness
and in his fortune, by this latter disease,
and tiltiiiiatcly lZCl'll'llll(llt3(l his career under
the complicated horrors of both maladies.

In sclcctiiigyoui' public agents, adopt the

same caution that prudence would si.iggest
you in private affairs ;, choose tliosuc who are
acquainted with the business in which yeti
ni'ean to employ thcm,—who have an es-
tablished reputation for iiitegrity,'aud who
have shown an ability to manage a public
trust by having conducted crditably and suc-
cessfully their private affairs. Such men
possess civil virtues, ‘and merit civil rewards.
But distrust the man who reiterates his im-
portunitics for your influence, as wanting
either good habits or good principles. The
first should render hiin indcpendentof public
aid, and thclast should make him asham-
ed to ask for it.
A re we then to reject, as the bane of our
happiness, the honors and eiiiolumeiits of
ollice? No; accept them, when [)l'f)il‘I3l‘(3(l,
as a mandate efduty, not a sourccofwealth;
as a compliment to your merit, and as the
requital of an obligatioii wliicli you owe to
society. Accepted in this spirit, the duties
will not seem onerous, nor the emoluments
"worthy of your exclusive i'e;i;ai'd. And
when you have enjoyed the honors, and
fulfilled the dtitics, abandon neither your
politics nor yourreligion because your-fel-
low citizens happen to discover in your
iiciglibor, qualities and merits equal oi'supc-
rior to your own. The spirit of a free gov-
ernment forbids monopoly. \Vliethcr they
impose a ditty, or confer honor or profit, of-
fices shorild be shared by those who are ca-
pable and worthy ; and I do not know
ofa more salutary provisioti which could be
eii_9;i'aftcd on our constitution, than that
which has been thrice forcibly rccoinmen-
ded by-, our President, to limit the tenure of
office to some definite period of time.

I will close this iii._imbcr with the history
ofa sclioolmate:-—J‘ob /lllcirton. commen-
ced life under the most flattering auspices.
His farm was a pattern of neatncss—ficlds
well cultivated, cattle in fine order, and feti-
ccs and biiilclings in good repair. Job ow-
cil no man, and had acciiniiilated a line sum
at interest. Ilis cliildren were trroiviiig up
undcrthcirparcnt’s example in habits of
industry, and promised to become respecta-
blcin society. Every thing: throvc under
his care, and he was pointed to by all oftlie
bcstfitrmcrs in the town of S. Ills good
qualities, and the influence wliicli these pro-
cured him, at lcngtli brought; him to polit-
ical noticc, and he became a successful cati-
didate very much against his will, for the
assembly. IIe returned from Albany in the
spring with some new notiotis, but the liab-
its of the farmer still predominated. To a
second nomination Job had less objection,
nay, lic secretly intrigued for it, for he
thought, as he remarked, he was then qual-
ified to do some good. ——Thc second triumph
and the coiiscqtiencc it gave him at the din-
iicrs and parties in the renowned capital
tiirucd his head, and he came home
quite an altered man. It was no longer
“ Conic bog/s,” with him. Politics engross-
ed his attcntion.—I-Ic became a standing
candidate for every office that presented;
and was in succession—slicril’t', senator, and
member of Congress.

In the mean time the farm begaii to
show the absence of the master; the fen.-
ces were prostrate, the cattle neglected, and

is shoved against the blazing forcstick, and
there is an awful pause.

“Giles, stand back in your place,” says

It was an excellent rule

that each one

There was no alternative; Giles must. toast

being increased by “liorscpoints,” inniiincr-

master.

The parties being about equal in popu-

and “I did’iit,” amid which the poor potlu-

At lciigtli all is reconciled and made plain
by the testimony of one who cries out,
“master, Iscen all how it was; lien just
kicked himself and tried to lay it t.o Giles.”
This explanation seems satisfzictory and a
musing, even to the party agrievcd, and the
