T is now little more than 8 years since we dis-
covered from the aborigines of our country,
the medical herb from which the Mother’s Re-
lief is made; since that time, we have contented
ourselves in letting it be its own advertiser; and
we should still adhere to this resolution first
formed, if we were not compelled to believethat
there are persons so unprincipled, and so reckless
of the health audlives of the unsuspecting and
confiding, as to endeavor to palm offunder its
name, useless, if not‘ baneful compounds, and
thus not only disappointing thejust expectations
of those who use it, but we fear, doing in many
cases, much injury. ' ,
As we are informed that there are such com-
pounds now offered at various places, and by
different persons, we would caution all who are
interested, to be particular to inquire for " Bar-
lh.0lzclc’s JVIothcr’s Relief,” and purchase of no
personexcept they can show a certificate ofageti-
cy, signed by G. A. BARTHOLICK 65 Co.
As the subject cannot, with propriety, be en-
larged upon in the form of a newspaper adver-
tisement, permit us to say that all who have the
genuine article for sale, are also furnished with a
pamphlet for gratuitous distribution, wherein the
subject is more fully discussed, in which, its
“modus operandi” is demonstrated to be upon
true Physiological data, operating upon the sys-
tem only by restoring the deranged functions to
their natural condition; allaying 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
pamphlet will be given to all who wish, but itis
intended 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 imposi-
tion, we will take the occasion to say, that iftlie
‘increase of the call for the Mother’s Relief,
wherever known, be any guide to 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
amount of suffering and of saving many valua-
ble lives. Wherever it has been used duringthe
above period, deep rooted prejudices have given
away to candid and thankful expressions of grati-
tude, and a wish to extend on their parts, as far
as possible, its benefits. Medical men of high
standing, have had the candor to acknowledge
for once, that their prejudices must be abandon-
ed, and have been advocates for its use.

I'LL MEET THEE IN HEAVEN.
Dr C. DONALD in’i.i~:on.
Thou art gone before me, Father,
To thy happy home of rest ;
And angel ta'en from earth, to fill
A place amitl the blessed.
Oh look upon me still, from thine
Abodes of love afar ;
And he unto thy lonely child,
A guiding spirit star!
And when my soul is darkened,
That sky-born srrrile shall be
Like starlight to the mariner
Upon a storm-toss’d sea.
“ For it shall seem to whisper, “ Come
My child, thou art forgiven ;
Death parted us on earth. but oh,
I'll meet thee in Heaven !”
Oh that the hour were present now,
Vi/hose destinies release
My aching spirit from this land,
For one where all is peace,
Where the heart" loves without a fear
That it will be betrayed;
Where Hope becomes reality,
And Joy’s sun knows no shade.
There, Father, when earth takes again
That being that it gave,
I'll drink with thee the blessed draught
OfLife’s eternal wave ;
And while the griefs and cares of earth,
Back to her breast are given,
My soul will seek its Maker, God,
And meet thee yet in Heaven.

THOUGHTS THAT BREATHE
AND WORDS THAT BURN.
Extract from the ‘-fife of Com. Perry,’ by
Hon. J. .M. Niles.
Battle of the Thctmcs.—“The action, and
and the movements which preceded it, afford
ample testimony of the judgement and cool
intrepidity of General Harrison; and in-
deed, all the events of the campaign, support
these characteristics; the disasters attend-
ing it, having in no instance been imputable
to him.
"There are, perhaps, on record, few in-
stances of sticli cool and steady intrepidity,
on the part of militia, or a force of this de-
scription, as was displayed on that occasion.
“Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the
Ariel, and arrived at Eric on the 22d of Oc-
tober. Here they were received with every
demonstration of joy and admiration; the
discharge of cannon, illuminations, &c.—
They were hailed as the delivers of the
ft'oritiers.”
"Of the career of Gen. Harrison I need
not speak-—the history of the VVest is his
history. For forty years he has been identi-
fied with its interest, its perils, and its hopes.
Universally beloved in the walks of peace,
and distinguished by his ability in the coun-
cils of his country, he has been yet more il-
lustriously distinguished in the field. Du-
ring the late war he was longer in active
service than any other General oflicer; he
was perhaps oftener in action than any one
of them, and -never sustained a. defeat.”
R. III. Johnson, 1831.
“ VVhat man lives, whose heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in
the late victories of Perry and Harrison-
that does not feel a pride in the valor and
patriotism of the heroes of the VVest, who
freed a country as large as the empire of
Alexander the Great from the Indian toma-
hawk and scalping knife ! If there be such
a. one he is a. traitor to his country--he pos-
sesses the spirit ofa murderer.”
Isaac IIill, 1814.
“ The blessings ofthousands of women and
children rescued from the scalping knife of
the ruthless Savage of the wilderness, and
from the still more savage Proctor, rest on
Harrison, and his gallant army.-—--Simon
-S'nyrler’s, Message to theLegislature, Decent-
ber 10, 1840.
Many of you no doubt, entertain the opin-
ions honestly that a. change in ofltce is es-
scntially necessary to the welfare of this
country. 1 think so too.-—Col. R. III. John-
son, July 4, 1840.
“ The price of labor is entirely too high.
The laborer in the country can afford to
work for eleven pence, and the hard money
system will bring down wages to that sum.
Wheat will also come down to sixteen cents
a bushel, and every thing else in proportion.
This is the best Tarifl you can have,and the
only one that can enable the manufacturer to
compete . with England. The Sub-Treasu-
ry will efiect both of these objects—it will
put down the banks, and bring wages and
every thing else down.”—Sena.tor Tappczn.
“Laws are uio‘la.tcd with impunity ; mor-
al obligations are scozfed at and derided;
/cnavery walks the streets with the bold face
of honesty ; plunderers of the public and 0]
public institutions, obtain sympathy, and for-
giveness.”—Kcnclall’s Address.

THE FOLLY OF DISCONTENT.
Many years ago, I read a story which for-
cibly illustrated the folly of discontent. It
was in poetry, but here is the substance of
it, in a dress of plain prose.
A farmer's daughter, I will call her Mary
Miller, was permitted to take a walk in the
fields one Saturday afternoon. She had
been to school all the week, and this privi-
lege delighted her very mitch. She soon
left the dtisty road, and rambled from liillock
to hillock, gathering the flowers which
pleased her fancy. Sometimes she watched
the glassy brook, and listened to the merry
birds. Sometimes she bounded after the gay
butterfly, and then ran to pick some flowers
whose gaudy colors attracted her eye. In
short, wherever her light heart prompted,
her nimble feet carried her.
She was near the road side when she saw
a glittering coach pass slowly by. There
was no one in it but a little girl about Ma-
ry’s age. A driver sat in front, guiding the
sleek horses, which trotted in their rich har-
nesses. When the girl wished to stop, be
instantly checked them; when she wished
to go forward, they started at his word. A
footman was on his stand, behind. If the
little girl saw a flower in the field or by the
road side, she had only to speak, and the
carriage stopped while the footman ran to
fetch it. In short, she seemed to have no
wish ungratified. As Mary looked at the
coach her heartsunk, her feet lost their light-
ness, her spirits their gaiety, and her face its
smiles. She walked gloomily along, and
with _sour looks and pouting lips, she enter-
ed her mother’s humble dwelling.
‘ Have you not had a delightful walk, my
child .7 said she.
‘O, no,’ said Mary pettishly. ‘I could
have enjoyed it pretty well, but Helen Parks
came along in_ her carriage, and when I
saw how happy she appeared, with her
coachman and footman to wait upon her, and
remembered that I was a poor girl, and must
always go a foot and wait upon myself, I
could hardly help crying. If she wanted
any thing she had only to speak, or point to
it, and the footman instantly ran and brought
it to her. Butwhen I wanted, if it was ever
so far off, I must go and get it myself. I
don’t mean to walk out by that road any
more.’
Her frettful voice was scarcely hushed,
when Mr. Parks came in.
‘ How did your daughter enjoy her ride
this afternoon .7’ said Mrs. Miller, when her
wealthy guest had thrown herself languidly
upon an uncushioned chair.
Here the reader should know that Helen
was lame, so that she had not walked in sev-
eral years.
‘She would have enjoyed it very well,’
said the lady in a tone of condcscention, ‘but
just as she came where she had the finest
prospects, she saw a little girl skipping
about the fields. She watched her happy
movements as she ran wherever her fancy
led her, and when she remembered that she
could never enjoy herselfthus, she said she
could scarcely restrain her tears.’ ‘ You
cannot think, said she ‘ how sad it was to
feel that I must be lifted into the carriage
wherever I wish to take the air; and when
Isee a pretty flower, I can never pick it
myself, but must wait till some one, who
works for money, can go and fetch it
to me. I watched the happy girl,
said she, for a few minutes, as she danced so
gaily among the birds and flowers, and then
ordered the footman to bring me a few dais-
es which grew by the road side; but I soon
threw them away,’ she added, for 1 could
not bear to look at them. She directed the
coachman to drive home, that her feelings
might no longer be aggravated by the sight
of pleasure which shecould notshare. “When
the footman brought her in, and placed her
carefully upon the sofa, she laid her face
upon my lap, and wept profusely. "\’loth-
er,’ said she, ‘ I will never ride out by those
fields again.’——Ca.binet.
DA NGERS OF IGNORANCE.
There are few villages in the country
which do not present us specimens of the
uneducated; we meet him in the gin-shop
and in the street; he is an idler, a drunk-
ard, a quarreller; we hear of him in every
riot, he is an aider and abetter in every out-
rage. His family are slovenly, reckless, de-
based, wretched. He is a quarreller because
a drunkard; and he is :1 drunkard because
he is idle. But why is he idle?
Because he has never felt the value of
labor, the pleasure of thinking, the joy ofa
good conscience. He has never been hab-
ituated to form judgements of these things.
The powers necessary to form judgements
have been neglected. He has never been
taught to examine, to inquire, to attend-.—
He has become passive. He feels the
pressure of’ want brought on by his own‘
-habits; bttt how does he try to remedy it?
All his life he has been taught to spare. as
much as possible on those of others. He is
the slave, from laziness, of authority. It is
not in a sudden emergency he is ikely to
throw it off. All his life he‘ has sacrifices,
with the short sighted selfishness of ignor-
nace, the future to the present, and every,
interest, public and private, to his own.--—
"He is turbulent, but not independent; he
talks of freedom, and is the slave of evey,
man and thing around. But indolence is not .
a more passive vice. Better to ‘ wear out’ than '
.to ‘rust out‘ has been truly said--but he
who ‘ runs out’; ‘ wears out’ too. No greater
burden than sloth; no greater consumer of
the spirit and body of man than doing
nothing and having nothing to do. Every
day spent in activity renders action more
diflicult! every hour which does not add,
0 steals away some instrument of virtue and
happiness, and leaves the sluggard more at
the mercy of those visitations of sickness or
want to which even the industrious are ex-
posed. __
Nor is this all. Omission ofduty soon be-
comes commission of crime. Painful reflec-
tions nowbcset him. They are sought to be
extinguished, but not by reform. Conscience
drives him to fresh vice. This goes on for
a time; but health, means, companions, must
at last fail. Then it is that he sees, for the
first time, how bootlessly he has squandered
away the healthy morning-tide, the working
hours of life. He has paid down existence,
and all that makes existence a glory and a
good, in advance. Body and soul are spent.
He becomes sullen and sour. Disappoint-
ments thicken on him, and they are all of
his own causing. His farm is covered
with weeds, his shop deserted, his children
profligates and rebels, his household :1 hell.
He gradually becomes an enemy to all so-
cial ordinance, to law, justice, truth, good
faith——to all that makes community to man.
He envies and hates the good and happy; he
looks on check as a wrong, on every pros-
perous man as a foe.
Whither is he to rush for rescue from
these encompassing evils? The gospel he
never understood, and therefore never prac-
ticed. His religion is an hypocrisy or a sit-
perstition. It affords him now no direction
in his errors, no consolation in his afiictions.
He finds in it neither warmth nor liglit.—
The religion he learned never penetrated to
the spirit; it was a tiiikling cymbal, ajargon
of meaningless and profitlcss words. But
crime, which had long been'ripe in thought,
is at last on the point of bursting. He is at
last ready for a desperate attempt. Educa-
tion has been held up as the great principle
of all modern restlesncss and disorder. Is
this the case .7 Let facts answer. Here are
men uneducated enough, to produce the
most perfect quiet, if ignorance and absence
of education could produce it. Yet is it from
materials like these you are to expect the
tranqtiility and prosperity of a great nrition’.?
Is it in the nature of things, that out of ele-
ments so utterly evil, peacc and happiness
should emanate? Private vice has but to
make a few steps and a few proselytes, and
it becoriies public corruption; individual dis-
content wants only time and circumstance
to spread out into general disorder. Such
indeed, are the real revolutionists, men bad
and blind—blind because they are bad--a
huge Polyphemus, sightlcss and strong,
watching only some crafty guide to lead the
monster on against society. Nor is such
likely to remain long unsupplied.
Wyse on Education.
VVOMAN.——By Requst.
I admire in woman that innocent expres-
sion which wins by its simplicity and unaf-
fectedness, that artless unadorned beauty
with which the God of Nature has been
pleased to mantle her. I admire that spark-
ling internal gem, the jewel of intelligence,
which shines forth dispensing light and dif-
fusing its all powerful influence to the soul,
in fascinating virtuous affections and kindly
charities, which never lose their reward. I
admire an emulation of that tase for whatever
refines -,§the manner, enlarges the mind,
strengthens and purifies the heart; thus en-
gaging the attention by the vivacity and
spirit which it gives to the person and con-
versation. I admire that ingenuousness of
disposition which makes her society so at-
tractive, pleasing, and at all times desirable;
throwing around those within its kindly in-
fluence a charm and a fascination which the
face, the index of heart, unceasingly make
manifest, through the unwonted smiles of
pleasure, made irresistible by its captivating
charms. I admire her for those humble, re-
tiring and unobtrusive virtues,which,'although
their lights may not be dazzling and resplen-
dant, yet throw around humanity :1 soft and
heavenly radiance, which, in woman, is pecu-
liarly to be admired and imitated. I admire
to contemplate her as the swift-winged mes-
senger of love bent on errands of mercy, in
which character and _attitude she so brightly
shines, being charity’s loveliest almoner,
where
“ The poor's her client, and heaven’s smile
her fee,”
as well also in that sphere tvhere the warm
and generous impulses of a susceptible heart
throb in listless joy at the happiness its own
presence creates within the domestic circle.
I admire woman for her virtuous influence
upon society. Vilhether at home or abroad,
at all times and in all places, like. the gentle
influences ofthe sun, her radiating virtues
are‘ every where to be seen and felt‘, enliven-
ing, refreshing and invigorating the nobler
pulsations of society—thus qnickenin-g into
new and active energy by her presence, her
beauty her affection, and her love. I admire
and love her, when elevated by a religion
capable of being so personified in her as to
discover its truly noble and animating princi-
ples, the full sublimity of its faith, and the in-
vigorating aspirations of its hope. causing
the outpouring of the heart, first to deepen
in subdued reverence and gratitude to God,
and next, to overflow in unbounded love and
benevolence to mankind—thus in the life
and aezions, teaching and informing us, that
the great object of ‘existence ought to be in
view of that one event’ which happeneth unto
all, manifest in the advancement of human
‘happiness. which, we have the divine assu- _
rrance will not’ fail to meet its just reward.
I admire her for these, and all other vir- _
.tues;‘ but let me pause here to inquire what
is it that gives to woman these, so much to be
~adtiiired',f‘asci‘nat'intg vi'rtuot‘1‘s affections, kind-
ly charities, refinetnent of manner, ingenuous-
.neos of disposition, controlling moral influ-
ence in society, and the such like? It is ed-
ucation ! It is" the cttltivation of the latent
powers of the mind, that is to be found in
W058 brilliant hues that enchant the world-—
it is in this rich casket that is contained this
precious elixir, by which may be transmitted
that wttchery‘--to the eye, that beirignitv to
the countenance, and grace to the gesturle.
To fair and beaiitious woman, I would
then say, cultivate the mind; then, though
besides her may be seated thedaughter of no-
bility cnrobed in all the richest taffities ofthe
Indies, displaying the most precious of Gol-
conda’s riches, without the jewel of intelli-
gence, still will she but the more conspicu-
ously shine. outvieing her in that jewel of
lthe head, which emits its heavenly lustre
and thrilling beams of intellectual fire.-—
Cultivate the powers of your mind; then
through the heart and affections, will
be conveyed to the world an imprint ofthe
most exquisite chiselling of the intellectual
sculptor; for in a woman,more than in man
may be exhibited that lofty scale of being
—--that point of highest human excellence;
such as, from her pure mind, raises her
aspirations after the higher and more refined
gratiflcations, and surely, fits her for the
great and noble. .
ENGLAND.
England, an island three thousand miles
from America, has stretched out her provin-
ces to such an enormous extent as to men-
ance with her power, the independence
of every nation with which she comes in
contact. On several occasions, we have call-
ed the attention of the public, to the grasping
and dangerous ambition of England; because
we think it high time for us to adopt some
measures to counteract it. It may not be
generally known, that there is an English
settlement at the mouth of Columbia rivet‘,
and that the ground is held by right of con-
quest. Silently increasing her strength there,
she willnotbt-disposed to relinquish hcrstand,
without a struggle. By and by will come
in the right of peacable possession, to sub-
stantiztte her claims, This has been her
course of conquest throughout the world, and
weaker. nations—-where is there a stronger .7
—have been obliged to succumb. In India,
she began with a trading post; and now she
rules with a rod of iron, one hundred and
twenty millions oforiental subjects. It is
useless for England to say that India is bet-
ter off under this foreign yoke, than under
its native rulers. Its wealth-—gold, silver,
and jewels, is carried away to return no
more. The idolatrous system of religion
with its bloody rites, is sustained by the
British Government, as the state Religion,
for the sake of heavy tax levied on the be-
niglited worshippers. Modern travelers U-t
nite in representing the poverty and wretch-
edness of the native inhabitants as fearfully
great, and continually increasing. The cry
is unceasing, give, give. It is computed
that one halfof the whole produce of the
soil, goes to the East India Company, and its
servants, in the shape of taxes and salaries,
to feed the insatiable avarice of these tyrants.
From India, England is pushing her con-
quests toward the frontiers ofAsi-atic Russia,
and is now menacing China with a power-
ful naval force, on a disputed matter of com-‘
mercial privilege in which she is clearly in
the wrong. England is determined to sell
clandestinely to the Chinese, a deadly pois-
on, because forsooth, it is profitable to do so,
on penalty of fire and sword. The alterna-
tive held out to _China, is opium or war l——'-
There is but one grand object in all these
warlike demonstrations, and these rapid con-
quests-—commercial mono oly. _England,
in her aggressions, aims rst at the keys of
national wealth, and pursues her object with
a singleness of purpose, and success, unpar-
alleled in ancient or modern times. \Vhen
she will be stopped in her career irrtlie East:
crn world, heaven only knows, though late
events tend strongly to confirm our opinion
that by the armed legions of Russia alone,
can her course he stopped. Northern India
and Persia, will be the great battle field on
which will be decided the fate of the world.
The unbiassed, impartial judgment of
mankind cannot hesitate in regard to the
violent injustice of English policy. It is
founded in avarice, the bassest passion ‘of the
humari breast. _ The rights of man suffer at
every step of England’s a'dvan'c'ement'. The
spoils ofthe world are garnered up in her first
anchored isle. No wonder England is rich.
Many a pirate’s den, and robber’s firstness, is
stored» as full of ill gotten treasure.
It becomes the United States, to resist with
firmness, the etrcroachments of England on
our territorial and marafiime rights. She
was never known to be satisfied with a little
concession. , Give an inch, and she invari-
ably takes the ell. There must be no com-
promise, no yielding in the matter. Our
rights, ou-r whole rights, and nothing but
our rights,- must be strenuously rn_aint'ai=ned at
thevery outset of the dispute. The cost'—--
heavy though it may be-ofthe’ inaintainance
of principles, and national rights, must not
be taken into the‘ account. Better to sacri-
fice something now, than the whole by and
by.—Stat‘e Eagle.

A Beautiful Sentimcnt.—The late emf-'
nent Judge Sir Allen Park, once said at 8
public meeting in London : , ;
‘‘'We live in the midst of blessings, till we
are titterly msensible of their greatness, and
of the sources from whence they flow. We
speak of our civilization, our arts, our" free-*'
dom, our laws, and forget entirely how large’
11 share Of all is due to Christianity. Blot
Cliristiarrity ontof the pages ofrnan’s history.
and what would his laws have been .7 what
his civilization ? Christianity is mixed up
with our very being and our daily life; there‘
IS not a" familiar object round us, which does
not wear a different aspect, because the light
of ‘Christian hope is on it ; not a law which
does not owe its truth and gentleness to Chris-
tianity ; not a custom which cannot be traced;
in all its holy, healthful parts, to the Gospel.”

Pig Manure for Fruit Trees.-Sir-‘I.
ncticed in your last ‘_number a paragraph
giving and account of a new mode to pro-
mote the growth of trees, now in operation
at Welbet'lr, an estate of the Duke of Port‘
land by confining pigs in pens under them.
As far as I know, its use may be new as
regards forest trees, but I have known this
method in use above,tli'ii‘ty years in Kent, to
promote the growth of the apple tree and
render it more productive. The method or:
iginated in consequence of observing those
orchards adjoining the farm steads where the
pigs constantly grazed, to be irruycli more pro‘-‘
ductive, and yielding finer fruit than tliosc:
orchards where the grass was mown, or c-
ven those‘ where the soil was tilled, and, al-—'
so supposed to be less subject to blight.—~.
for this pitrpose. moveable styes are placid
on wheels in the pens. The manure is
powerful, and rendered more or less so ac-
cording to the nature of the food made use
of. Th‘is method is generally practiced in
the winter season, and its effects are conspic-'
uous in the spring, for the trees generally
pre‘-sent avigorous and healthy appearance}
and its effect on tho soil is equally powerful
as on the trees. It is best used with modera-
tion, and occasionally repeated ; but, after
all, its effects are not so uniform and lasting
as in those orchards where, as before ob-
served, swine constantly graze and are fed.

Seed Corn‘.——-We take the opportunity-—---
so’ as to’ be in season—to remind our agri-
cultural friends that ifthcy would have the
best seed corn and improve their kind for’
another year, they must not meglect to se-_
lect the earliest and fairest ears this fall, and
preserve them carcfu-lly for seed. They
may be gathered by the hand from the field
as soon‘ as the husks turn ivh'it’e,- and should‘
then be traced and hang up where the air’
will circulate freely all winter, md where‘
the rats and mice will- not reach them. In
all fields some‘ cars are earlier than others.-
The earliest select'_ed_for 4 seed, will insure :5
field nearly the wfiole of wliic'h will be ripe‘
as early next year as the ears you gather out-
for seed this season. If you allow the latet:
ears? to‘ be taken for seed, you will find a late
crop the next fall. The surest" way, there-
fore, to improvea crop is to be careful in:
sel-ectin-g the seed ;-' for it is a universal law’
of na-ttsrre that “ like begets its like.”
