EVENING STAR. LOVE ME LITTLE, LOVE ME LONG. An old ballad, printed in 1569 on a broadside in black letter. No name was attached toit. There is a great deal of true poetry in it. Love m: little, love me long, is the burden of my song, Love that is too hot and Burneth soon to waste : Still | would not have thee co'd, Not too backward or too bold ; Love that lsstevh till ’tis old | Fadeth not in haste. | Love me little, love me long, | Is the burden of my song. If thou lovest metooe much, 1t wil not prove as true a touch; Love me little, more than such, For I fear the end: Iam with little well content, And a littie from = = gh with trae In! > see, cenaeet. oie. Lote me little, love me long, &c. Constant love is moderate ever, And It will through life persever, Give me that with true endeavor, I will it restore: A suit of durance let it be, For all the weathers that for me, For the land or for the sea, Lasting eve: more. Love me littie, love me long, &c. Winter’s cold or summer’s heat, Autumn’s tempest on it beat, It can never know defeat, Never can rebel : ‘Such the love that I would gai Miscellaneous.

This has been pre; demand, and an extensive trial of its virtnes has lusively shown with what success it accom the purpose designed. It is easy to make a physical Bit , but not so easy to make the best of al Pills—one which should have none of the objections, but all the advantages of every other. This has been attempted here, and with what suc- cess we would respectfully submit to the public decision. It has been unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every purgative medicine ts ac7imonious and ir itating tothe bowels. This isnot. Many of them produce so much griping pain and revulsion in the system as to more than counterbalance the good to be derived from them These Prils produce no Irritation or pain, unless it arises from a previously existing obstruction or derangement ia the bowels table, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity; but itis better than any medicine should be iaken Judictously. Minute directions for their use in the several diseases te which they are ap- plicable are given on the box plaints which have been speedily cured by thei we may mention Liver Complaint, tn its various forms of Jaundice, Indigestion, Langnor and Loss of Appetite, Listlessness, Irritability, B lious Headache, Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side and Loins, for in truth, all these are but the consequence of diseased action of the liver. As anaperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Costl veness) Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds, with sore- ness of the bedy, Ulcers and impurity of the blood ; in short zny and every case where a purga tive is required. They have also produced some singularly suc- cessful cures in waren res ee ge © Grav el, Erysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the Back, Stomach and Side. hey shold be freely taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blood and prepare the system for the ch: of seasons. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach into heaithy action, and restores the appe- tite and yigor. They purify the biood, and by their stimulant action on the cirenlatory system, renovate the strength of the body, and restore the wasted or diseased energies of ihe whole organ- ism. Hence an occasional dose is advantageous even though no serjous derangement exists; but unnecessary dosing should never be carried too far, as every purgative medicine reduces the strength, when taken toexcess. The thoneand cases in which a physic is required cannot be enn- merated here. but they suggest themselves to the reaso@ of every body; and it is confidently be lieved this pili will answer a better purpose thas anything which has hitherto been available to mankini When their virtues are once known the pupils will no longer doubt what remedy to employ when in need of a cathartic medicine. Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take, and belng purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. ni minute directions see the wrapper on the Ox PREPARED BY DR. JAMES C.
