E covered from the aboiigiiies of our country,
the medical herb from which the. ;‘vlotlier’s Re.-
lief is made; since that time, we have contented
ourselves in letting it be its own advertiser; and
we slioulrl still adhere to this resolution first
formed, if wcwcre not eonipelledto belicvethat
there are persons so U n priricipled, and so reckless
of the health and lives of the unsuspecting and
ctitifitlitig, as to endeavor to palm offunder its
name, useless. if not bancful compounds, and
thus not only disappointing thejust expectations
of those who use it, btit we fear, doing in many
cases, mtich injury.

As we are informed that there are such com-
pounds now offered at various places, ant! by
'.lllll;!t‘t.‘lll persons, we would cautioti all who are
interested, to be particular to inquire for " Bar-
(holze/:’s ./"ilot/'tct“s Ilclirf,” and purchase of no
person except they can show a certificate ofageu-
cy, sigtictl by G. A. l)’.-\l't'l‘ll0LIt'3l( ti: Co.

Asthe subject cannot, with propriety, be en
largcd upon in the forth of a newspaperadver-
tisenienz, pcrmit‘us to say that all who have the
gcnuitte article for sale, are also furnished with a
pamphlet for gratuitoustlistribution, wherein the
sol.-jcct is more fully discussed, in which, its
“nwtlus opcranrli” is demonstrated to be upon
true Pliysiological data, operating upon the sys-
icm only by restoring the deranged functions to
their iiatural condition; alloying the febrile and
irritable symptoms, thus aiding and assisting
nature in her effort to prepare the system for the
important change about to take place. This
pauiplzlet will be given to all who wish, but itis
inteiitletl to be read only by those who are about
to become mothers or their Physicians.

As we are thus obliged to come before the
public to prevent a wicked and reckless iniposi-
tion, we will take the occasion to say, that ifthe
increase of the call for the l\lotlier’s Relief,
wlicrevcrkuown, be any guideto a correct opin-
ion to be formed of the estimation in which it is
held, we have the satisfaction of believing that
it-has been the means of alleviating an infinite
ziutount of suffering and of saving many valtia
lzle lives. VVl'ierever it has been used duringtlie
above period,'deep rooted prejudices have given
away to cat.idi:l and thankful expressions ofgrati-
rude, and a, wish to extend on their parts, as far
as possible, its benefits. Medical men of high
staiiding, have had the candor to acknowledge
for once, that their prejudices must be abandon-
ed, and have been advocates for its use.

troubles. And yet if a man will but glance
over his ybsterdays, he will at once see how
foolish it is to fret oneself about the time to

The Execution of Sir ‘Walla?’ Rrtlr:ip‘,7i——
Sii \Valter made no more of death, says the
Dean of Westiiiiniste_i', than if he ivoi'elc,oin,;r
merely to take a journey: “ not,” said Ra-
lcigli, “ but that I am a great sinner, for I
have been a soldit-:i',a seaman, and a cotii'tierj"
On the morning previous to his execution,
they brought him a cup of sack. Beiiip;
asked how he relished, it, he i'eplictl, “ As
the fellow that, drinking of St. G-ile’s bowl
as he went to Tyburn, said, ‘that was good
drink ifa man might tarry by it.’ ” He in-

vitcd his friend Sir I-lugh Beestou, to see

him die. Sir Hugh was unable to obtain a
seat, and Sir \Valter observing him in the
crowd lamenting his disappoiimneiit, said,
“Farewell ! I know not what shift _7/on will
make, but I am sure to have a place.” On
the scallbltl be embraced all the lords with
such courtly compliments, as if he had met
them at a feast. On taking ofl his gown, he
called to the headstnan to let him see the axe,
which not being immediately done, he said,

“ I prithee let me see it; dost think I am it-l

fraid of it ?” He passed his fingers lightly
over the edge, and smiliugly remarked to this
sherif‘l'-—“ This is Sharpe medicine, but a
sotiud cure for all diseases, “ and, ltissinz it,
laid it down..
on the block, the executioner desired him to
turn it toward the East. “ It was no great
matter,” rcfplied Raleigli, “ wliich way a
man’s head stood, so the heart lay rigltt.’—
He ordered the headsinan not to strike until
he gave the signal. Having lain some mo-
ments in prayer he made the signal, ivliieh
the headsman not perceiving, Sir Walter ex-
claimed--“VVhy dost thou not strike?”-.--
Sirike man !” Two blows severed his head.

A M.*“sl‘iUF-ACTURE OF CIDER.
‘_tBY"'riii'r. LATE .iosEPH COOPER. ESQ.
Cider is an article of domestic manufac-
ture, which is in my opinion, the worst man-
aged of any in our country, corisideriug its
tiseftiltiess; and perhaps the best method to
correct errors is to point out some of the
priitcipal ones, and then recommend better.
One oftbe first is the gathering ofapples,
when wet; the next, to throw them together,
expostd to the sun and rain, until a sourness
pervades the whole mass; then grind, and
lot‘ w:mt of a trough or other vessel sulfi-
C.lt‘l!l to hold it t‘l1C:.-Se at a time, put the po-
inacc on the press as fast as ground, then
l[l:1l{L‘ so a large clccse as to take so long a
time to coniplete and press off, that fcriitci'1-
tation will come on in the cheese before the
cider is all out; and certain it is, that a small
rpiaiitity oftlie juice pressed out after the for-
titeutation COI}lt‘S on, will spoil the product
ofa whole cheese iltiiatletlieretvith. . When
citlicr of the above’ citcuinstaiiccs will spoil
citler, wliich I know to be the case, don't
l\\’Ol)tl6l' at the effect ofa com.bincz.tion of the
wliolt-, which is ."rt‘tpientl'y the case. _ i_
As I have very often t":X}70l‘tL’(l‘Cltl€I', and
sold it to others for that purpose, to the ‘Vest
llltllL‘$ and Europe, without ever hearing of
any spoiling, and -as it is my wish to make
the pl‘<)t.lll(’ll0tiS of our country as useful as
p-ossiL»l_e, l will give an account of my meth-
od. l gatlicr the apples for good cider when
wltcii dry, put them on a floor, under cover,
have it trough sutlicit-ut to hold a cheese at
once, when the wcntlicr is warm; grind
them Lite in the eve-iiiiig, spreading the po-
Ill:-l(’t3 over the trough to give it air, as that
will greatly ent'it-lithe cider, and gives it a
fine atiibcr color, thci early in the rnorning
pt'C£-‘S it oil} the better provided it escapes fer-
ineiitation until the pi':~ssiiig offis completed.
Tlie i'e2i:.~oii is evident from thefollowing cir-
CIill]$l..'tnt'.C, tulte a tart apple and bruise one
.=i~.lc, aittl'li*t it lay till brown, then taste the
juice. of each side, and you will find the juice
oftlic brtiisctl part sweet and rich, though a
tort apple. S "r, if sweet and sour apples are
,grrou.i:l l()gt'lllt‘l‘, and ptit inimcdiately on the
pt‘cSs, the litiuor therefrom will taste both
’S\\‘(‘L‘l and tart, but it‘ let lie till brown, the
t‘lt'lt‘l' will be gri-at.ly~.-improved. ' I always
t.il»;e care to put t‘ltlt‘l' in clean sweet casks,
ttiitl tht: only way to l‘fll'(.'l this is to rinse or
scald tlicin well as soon as the cider is out,
and not let them stand with a rcmnantor lees
to inake tliem sour, must or stink. When
my cnsks are lillrd, I place thorn in the
slititle. and <~:.‘:post-;l to the nortlit'.-'rn ait‘.——
 Wlien ll;'lt2l€‘IltLtilCl'l takes place, fill them up

-t>t'tt‘t’. or i~.ore ti (lav, to cause as much of
tthe filth its pus-iblle to discli:;rge from the
lbcrry ltittig; \\'ll.’_jll it disc iargcs a clear
‘white frotli, put in the bung stick, or boi'c a
hole iltltl put :1 spile in it, and thereby check
the leriiiei:t:ttioii giwuliiallyg and when it has
subsidctl, take the first opportunity of clear
cool weittlier, and rack it off into clean casks;
to effect v. hit-li, when I have drriwn the cider
out of ti cask in whicli it has ferrncntcd, 1
first rirtse the c sk with cold water, then put
into it liogslit-at! t'.'~:o or three quarts of fine
grtivel, tint! tlit'cc or four gzilloris of \'.'att‘r,
work it \\-'t‘ll to scour off the yeast 01‘ scum,
and St‘tlilllt'l)l. which :tl\\'a_\'s. :1£illt‘I‘t“S to the
casl;s in which the t‘iti::t‘fe1‘ttt(‘ntS; and if
not S(.'0l!l't".l olfas :ib-ore dircctrd, will act as
yr.~zi:3t \\'llt'l] the cider is put in again, and
bring on a fretting, and spoil or greatly in-
jure the liquor; alter scouring rinse as be-
fore."

I find benefit in bui'ning a brimstone
match in the cask suspr:i’idcd by a wire, after
piitting in two or three buckets ofcitler; the
best mt died of which pro':.ess is to havca long
t;’tpei‘ing hung, with a large wire drove in
the stnall end with a hook for a inatch,which
for -.1 l)0j_‘Sl1C:il.l should be sufficient to kill a
hive of bees. If the cider stands a week or
more after racking. previous to its being put
into the cellar, rack it again and rinse the
casks, but not with gravel, and put it imme-
diately iuto the cellar. The late made Iput
in the cellar immediately after or before the
‘first. racking, agreeable to the cii'cttmstances
as to the weather. The cider I wish_to
keep till warm weather, lrack in clear cool
weather the latter part of February or begin-
in_: of lllarcb ,' it is best to keep the cask
full and banged as tight as possible.

Poor Richru'rl.~-—Captain, I see by the

lolfzicross the ocean to find out what kind of

. money the Kings and Emperors take of their

if he’s got any answer yet? _

you see, have attended to it, k:iowing it was’
to help tlicm to get the gold for their salaries.

H-aniburg, Bremcri, Cuba, Ianiaica, Berlin,
Frankfort in Gerinrmy, Leipsic in Saxony,
Munich, Syrnrna, Genoa, Laguira, Leghorn,
and Constantinople, show, that they. require
every dollar of the people, or revenue in any
shape, in specie.
the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prus-
sia,‘King of Sweden, the Grand Sultan or
any of those arbit‘i'a’i'y monarchics, take of
their subjects but the real Benton _shiners,

SKETCH OF ST. CRODE.

Isle of the Palm, ffjuits and biitecus flowers.

I shall miss thy fair scenes and sunset hours.

The Island of St. Croix, or Santa Cruz, is
situated in 17 45 north lat-. and 64 41 ion.
west of» _Gree‘nwieli, is about 277 miles in’
length, and 7 in breadth ; of rather uneveii
surface, and very fertile. It was discovercrl.
by Columbus on the 14th day of Nov. l_493_.
and was at the time of itsdiscioviery, inhabit
ed by the Caribs, and callcdby them Ay, Ay.

In the year l625.'St. Croixwas taker‘: pos
session of by the English .2 Dutch, and since
that time has been in possession of the Span-
ish, French and Danes. The latter nation
have now, and ime‘ had‘ since 1815, posses-
sion oftlie‘ I’sland-’.-

csts, which the French set on fire, and they
are said to have burned for several montlis.
This island contains 85,000 acres, and by a
government regulation, the plantations -.*.'cr.:-.

150 acres. In many instances, two or more
of «these are united in one estate”. There are
usually from 60 to 200 negroes on each es
tate, who perform the greater portion of tlic
