IVARD’S VEGETABLE HAIR OIL.
7-EV HIS Oil possesses the peculiar property St
long. but vainly sought for in other vege‘.
able oils, that of reproducing a newgrowth oi
hair on heads totally bald. So great are its
nourishing properties, which it readily impar.s
to the roots of the hair, that it requires but a
short time to produce a new growth, and but few
applications to check that falling of the hair.
which so often occurs, especially after sickness.
It prevents the hair turning grey, and when it
begins to turn, may be easily checked and re-
stored to its natural beauty by applying the oil.
This oil gives an agreeable fragrance, and is
preferable to any other for perfuming, curling
and glossing the hair. '
Ladiesand gentlemen of the highest rank
have patronized this oil very extensively ; and
such has been its effects in every country where
it has been introduced, that it receives the
decided preference.
From the Royal College of Pliysicians.
HAVANA, Feb. 20, 1833.
Dr. E. A. \Vard, having proved to this Royal
Tribunal that the Vegetable Oil, of his compo-
sition, has the property ofcausing the growth of
hair, and preventing its fall, by fortifying the
decayed part, (the eliectofarotnatic ingredients
which have been found in its composition by the
chemist Don Francisco Suarez) we hereby re-
commend its use, not as a specific, but as a good
and useful remedy for persons repuiring it, whose
hair is in a state of decay from sickness or other
causes. Jose Bernal. M. D.‘

POETRY.
THE SPIRIT OF DEATH.-
Oh! there's a deep and chilling tone
That comes the heart to freeze !
As cold as winter winds that moan
Low th.-oiigh the leafless trees!
And black as midnight’s awful gloom
_ lt shrouds the joyous hearth; 4
And trends with giant stride along
The halls of reckless mirth.
It come-s—the Simoom’s desert blast--
And breathes its curse around ;
And brightest flowers of life and hope -:
Lie withered on the ground.
It smiles to see before it fall
‘To earth the proud and strong;
Throwing a blight o'er all ourjoys.
As, dark. it sweeps along!
Oh death! thy terrors fearful are
To the beoiglited soul,
Who standing on the verge oflife
Doth yield to thy control! '
But thou thyselfin time shalt feel
.Destruct_ion’s gripe at last.
And from thy throne of centuries
Be to thy caverns cast!
Aye. proudly though thou bear’s thyself,
Old time shall lay thee low;
And o’er thy dark and turbid form
The light of heaven shall glow.

“ THE SWEAT OF THE POOR AND
THE BLOOD OF THE BRAVE.”
BY PARK BENJAMIN. '
“ Gold is, in its last analysis. the sweat of the
poor and the blood of the brave."
Waste treasure like water, ye noble and great!
Spend" the wealth of the world to increase your
estate ;
Pile up your temples of marble. and raise
Columns and domes that the people may gaze
And wotider at beauty so gorgeosly shown ,
By subjects more rich than the. king on his throne.
Lavish and so_uarider——for why should you save
"The stveritof the pour &: the blood of the brave‘?
Pour wine into goblets, all crusted with gems-
Wear pearls on your collars and pearls on your
hems: A’
Let diamonds in splendid profusion outvic
The myriad stars of a tropical sky!
Though from the night ofthe fathomless mine
These may be dug at your banquet to shine.
Little care ye for the chains of the slave -'
‘The sweat of the poorazthe blood of the brave.’
Behold at youriproud'gates'st"and°thé‘feeble and
old, ‘ . -.. I - - - [cold—-
Let '.hem‘bnrn in the sunshine tlndfreeze in the
Let them starve: though a mrosel, a drop will
impart
New vigor and warmth to the limb and theheart:
You taste riottlieir anguish, yotf feel not their
pain, "'
Your heads are not bare to the wind and the ruin-
Must wretches like these of your charity crave
‘The sweat of the poor at-. the blood of the brave’?
An army goes out in the mom's early light,
Ten thousand gay soldiers equipped for the fight:
An army comes home at the closing of day ;
Oh where are their banners, their goodly array?
Ye widows and orphans, bewail not so loud--
Your groans may imbitterthe feast ofthe proud:
To win for their store did the wild battle ravc4-
‘The sweat of the poor 8: the blood of the brave.’
Gold! gold! in all ages the curse of mankind,
Thy fetters are forged for the soul and the mind:
The limbs may be free as the wings ofa bird
And the mind he the slave ofa look or a word.
'l‘o gain thee, men barter eternity’s crown,
Yield honor, affection and lasting renown,
And mingle like foam with life’s swift rushing
wave.
‘The sweat ofthe poor 8: the blood ofthe brave.’

TAKING A VVHALE.
A FISH STORY BY AN OLD VVHALER.
It was one ofthose delightful days so often
passing beneath a tropical sun in the Pa-
cific Ocean, that our attention was suddenly
roused by one ofthe look outs at masthead,
who reported that he saw spouts at the weath-
er bow.
There was at the time, as is usual on board
of a whaler when several days have elapsed
without seeing whales, an air of qttiet dul-
ness pervading all parts of the ship; there
being nothing at these times in the monoto-
nous, every day occupations ofa ship, to call
forth the active energies of her crew. Some
were occasionally making audible a wish
that we might "see a sail for home.” or
some sperm whales-—or in fact, any thingto
change the scene. Some, to catch a shad-
owy glimpse of what was passing. or rather
what load been passing, i_n thg solid portion
of the world, were below poring over old
newspapers that bore date a year or so back,
and which h :d sailed more than half way
round the broad ocean before they got into
their hands. _ Some were overhauling and
reading for the fortieth titne since receiving
them, cherished letters front friends at home;
and some there were of less sedentary, tem-
perament, who could only keep ennui at
arm's end by pacing rapidly toorand fro the
deck, and who, from their downward, vacant
look, were evidenly holding communion
with. Perhaps their thoughts wandered a-
bout as far from the ship as the ship was
from home, or it may be, they were resolv-
ing. as they had often done before in voyages
back, that if they could get footing once more
again upon their native land, they would
leave it to others who have a greater love
for adventure than themselves, to pursue their
career of conquest over these giants of the
deep. -
But no sooner had the loud. long-drawn
sound “there she blows l” saluted our ears
from aloft than this Flying-Dutchman-like
stillness was changed into_ something like
the bustlingactivity of a. ‘ship-of-war just go-
ing into action. An oficer nimbly ascended
the ratlinesand with the aid of alspy-dlass
‘soon announced the epoch: to be those e't'a- largo
spermaceti whale. At this sound cvcry rope
was set in motion—-home went t_op-gallant
sheets, bend up went the yards aloft to the
sheave-poles. All sail being speedliy made,
braces and bowlines getting an extra pull,
our ship made a rapid headway over the
heaving swell. The after O'.ll'Sm€l'l in the
meantime filled their boatkegs with water,
and their bags with bre:td——for there is no
knowing when it whale-boat leaves a ship
but it may be absent all day, and as not unfre-
quently happens, all night besides; and this
the whale a couple of points ofthe lee bow,
and within.-halfa mi-le. The-mainsail was
now hauled up, and the main-topsail heaved
aback in due form, in order to check the
ships way through the sea while the boats
were lorcd therein. In a twinkling the boat-
tacklcs were. all uiiliooked,' and the boats-
slioved from the ship's side, and-every oar
shipped; each man then bending foi'warr.l .
and bracing back siinultaneously, shewed by
the echo of his rullock and the buckling of
his car, that his nervous arm grasped ithard.
Each boats clԤ\V exerted all their strength
to be “ head boat,’_' and to have the honor of
tiiaking the first incision in our bulkey ad-
versar_v.tvhicl1 Was now moving lazily zilong
with his glossy hump somewhat elevated a-
bove the surface ofthe water, unconscious of
his approaching danger.
As one boat had goth little in advance of
the others, when they had arrived within it
hundred yards or so of the \_vhale,thc race was
given up, the stcrnmost cretvs resting upon
their oars, anxiously awaiting the issue of
the first onset. ‘When thisnear boat got
within ashort distance of the whale, the bar-
pooner, who had been rowing away at the
oar all the while, received his laconic orders
to “ stand up,’_’ while the rest ofthe oarsmcn
were told with equal brevity to“sterri all!”
The backstrokes of the ores stopped the boat’s
way entirely by tlietime it fairly got " with-
in dart,” say ten feet. The liarpooner then
darted his two harpoons one after the other,
and to the joy ofall implanted them both so-
curely in the whales back.—'l‘heteri*ifier.' rin-
imal heaved his tail high -in the air,-and
with it raised large columns of water which
showered down freely on the heads ofthe at-
tackers. He lay fora moment smarting ini-
der-the pain which the keen instrument pro-
duced——now rolling in the foam which was
dyed red with the blood’ that flowed freely

pouderous tall, the organ which . ha(l~servcrl,,

arm of st-lfdefence; and if the boat had

a few yardsdistant gazing on the miscliicf
he had produced. They kept an eye on the
whale lest he niigli shoot fOI'\\‘t.‘tTCl_ and take

sclvcs _lllCl’elD_, for the poor f(:ll0\'.‘S well
know that tlicse animals can bite as tvr-ll i-rs
kick—-ai.d they had no lflClilP£lll'..lJ for erect-
ing‘ the part oflontih. '
Now, though man can fin his way tlirongh
the sea rather bcttcr thaii he can wing it;
from his woun,ds——no\v lashing the waves;
with his ponderous tail with a degree of \’lO-l
keep their distance for a time. Then recov-
ering a little from his fright, he pursued his
way to the windward, and excited his pro-
pelling powers with such successas sent him
forward witha flcetnessthat-gstve" tothe crew
who were thus harnesscdto him, a " glori-
ous sleigh-iide,” as tvlialcrs sometimes love
to term these flghty transits. But his speed
was all in vain. He might as well have
tried to run away from, himself as from his
unmcrciful pursuers-—go fast as he would
they were towing close behind in his wake
ready to deal a mortal blow the first favora-
able opportunity.
Finding flight along the surface of the son
of no avail, he now tried \\'ll‘.1l.SCt.'ul‘ll_V the
depths below afforded him. Pointing his
head downward and rearing his “ flukcs” in
the air for a pcrpendicul-.ir decent, he rundo
a plunge and away he went,‘ down, down-—
the line whistling merrily t|l'0lJfi(l the smok-
ing loggerhead as he went. ' The line, by
the way, was not put around the l0_£_Igel'l'lE‘t1(l
for the purpose of checking the wlmlc’s de-
cent at all; we might as well have attempt-
ed to stop the world from whirling. The
line runs out more readily and clearly round
this than from the ttib which contains it : and
besides, by keeping a tight strain on the line
as it runs out, the bout is drawn almost di-
rectly over the whale, although he should
descend obliquely, and consequently there is
less danger of having a line all drawn from
the boat, and the whale so escape.
The whale continued his downward course
with such rapidity as to take the whole length
ofa line from one boat in an incredible short,
space oftirne ; butluclrly another lzoat chuncedl
to be near by, the line of whichwas fastened to l
the latter end of the first one, just as it was
about to leave the boat. . .
Whether our whale found bottom and so
could go-no further downfivliich is not very
likely; ‘or whether he went so far as to get
a most terrible squeezing from the vast body .
of water pressing upon him, and so was glad
to come to the surface for relief; or finally
whether he thought there was absolutely no
limit to the length of. line appended to him
can only be matters of conjecture. Butthis _
much is certain—aftei‘ taking from the boat
4 or 500 fathoins of line, he came to the
surface again, and seeming to find all efforts
to save himself by flight useless, now gave
up in despair. I-lerehe lay motionless in
the trough of the sea, the rippling" waves
washing over his broad back, while at mess-A,
nred intervals he sent forth dense, audible
respirations from his monstrous nostrils.
The whale assumed-an attitude ofdefiance
at once on ceasing his efforts to escape, so
that it now required a good share. of intre-
pidity to approach him again; for whales like
individuals and nations, when put. to a last
shift and roused to desperation,are sometimes
most formidable animals to encounter. A
second boat, however, was rowed up, and an-
other brace _of harpoons :thrown in him as
before, but this time with less success to the
attacking party. The whale gflouncing a-
bout in agony after receiving these other
missiveiinstruments, either purposely or by
chance rolled under the_boat before it could
be backed astern otit of his wafy,§ai:id sweep-
ing his:-broad tail.-around as lfe,.lay here, it
carnein-contact with the boatis-bottom.=§1?d

his way. At lcugtli the emissions of blood
became gi‘atltto,lly lcss fieqtient. and finally
issued forth so feebly as only ‘just to gurglc
above the spout-hole; and the tvhzilc lztying
like a htilk upon the st-a, seemed about to
draw his last gzisp. But all at once be con-
ccntrztted his whole strength for a momenta-
ry, and as it proved, his l:ist‘l*libi‘t. Raising
the upper part ofthe head :1 liitle above the
sea, he started off with amazing volocity;
but instead of going straight forward as
beforc, he went circtilarly I‘0t':!‘.(l like a horse
in a circus, only with this cliff}-i'ciice, that
eacli circle became nai‘i'owei' like the main-
spring ofa time piccc. ' His first circle was
performed in an area something like a htin-
drcd yards across. but by the time he had
gone round it half dozen times his centripe-
tal tendency brought him up the centre of
this; and when he had thus fully wound him-
self up. as it may be termed, he closed his
spout hole, rolled on his side, and lay a life-
less monster on the bosom of the Ocean.
The Toa.rl._--There is no animal more
inoffensive and useful than the toad. As ‘it
protector of young gardt.-n vegetables from
worms, his services are invaluahle."A neigh-
bor ofours gathers all cfthese aniznals a-
bout his ganden. and builds tcrnpoiary bur-
rows to which they may retire forprotection
under a hot sun.‘ The toad goes forth in the
shade of everiing or when clouds cover the
sun. and so exceedingly-quick _is he in his
operations that the eyecan scarcely detect
him when he pounces upon his_prey.. It "is
said that the toad, if protected near a cabbage
garden, will entirely, clear this vegeltableol
the “re: which are s'crnetirnes's'o rroiiblescrne.

In r:-lutiop to these charges, permit me,
its one l.'tm'.vn to you from early life as it
man of ititegrity and tri.-th, to say that it is
vcholy untrue that on that or any other oc-
casion, ever aided, encou raged, assented
to, 01‘ approved of any fraudulent procuring
ofvr.tci‘s from Philadt-lpliiti or elsewhere.
I never‘ had any l{1iO\'t'lt'tlge. of any such
voters being‘ either procured, sought or giv-
en. I ncvcr have contributed money or any
other thing for any such purpose. I never
was pl’!-Stfnl. at any meeting at any place,
with Jas. l-3. Glcntwoith. It is wholly untrue
that at my inslance, or with my knowledge,
he was sent to Philadelphia, nor had I any’
agviicy, direct or indirect in his mission. In
giving this denial, I intentionally make it, in
the bronzlest form, to deity every illegal, dis-
lionoralsle or unfair moans pretend to be
cliaigetl in the pzipci*s taken before Mi"Re-
cordcr fvl0fl‘lS.
In entire innocence of these charges, permit
me to call your attention to the manner in
which they have been got up and put forth.
The Recorder ofN. York,Robe_rt H. Moi"-

place, and condcscends to tiid in the taking’
rlepositions intended to operate upon the pub-
lic mind. Tliese depositions relate to mat-
ters appcaring in party papers two“ years a.
go, then pretended to beknotvn, and slept up-

Judge of the Court of Sessions, be well knew
that those who were proceeded against were to

important to a fair trial it is that the judge.
