EVENING STAR. TO MY BROTHER. Come with me, dearest, to the river’s side, Where the bright floods make music as they And while we wander by its — tide, Sweet memories ein ee of long ago. And thoughts, that childhood bade these waters weep, Flash fort once more from their enchanted sleep. Look where it fows, unchanged, unc! ble, Foaming o’er rocks and og | to the sun, The shy trout p!ays among the tes still, W here dense and dark the restless curreats run ; How strange to Know that thrice three years have t, Since eo twe wandered by its margin last! Yet change is here; when we were wont to stray From morn till eve these woody banks among, Thick bung the hawthorn blossoms from the spra And Pirds of spring in every thicket sung ; And like a shower of gold, the bonny broom —_— the amorous gale her buds of rich per- ome. Now autumn looks o’er felds of ripen’dcorn, sere leaves rustle where our footsteps fall, Pew and unfrequent now the notes are borne, That made these solitudes so musica! ; And so it is with us, for life no more, Though tappy still Is spring time as of yore. Ay, we are changed; upon thy noble brow Bwelis the co iauing meet for manhocd's ae Thy api uirmer. and thy rich Iccks now Are somewhat darken’d by the touch of time, And graver cares are round thy spirit twine, Than ia these shades thy childhood left behind. Yet, though time sports with cutward forms at will, In deeper things bis breath has scarce been felt, And the long lapse of years doth find us still Before the shrines at which our childhood knelt; And what in those young days we wont to prize Are still the same, the dearest in our eyes. Still, as of yore, tis thy delight to bend Where some bold river thunders on its course, Where catarac's in whiten’d showers desc. md, Deafening the sir with clamor loud and hoarse, ‘Thou lovest to piy the angler’s silent art, Alo.we with nature, and thy own deep heart. Thcu_ hast gone forth to mingle with the warld, And breatu’d the air of many a foreign ciime; But from thy spirit never bas m burl’d The warm, f:esb feeling of that early time ; And | behold the glory of thy youth, Bilest with an Lonest heart of Kindness and truth. For we, though years have borne upon thy {ight A thousand joys my childhood ceuld not d:esm, My soui has ever found :ts chief delight By lonely mountain glen, or gushing stream And life can yield no p'easure end no pride Dearcr than this,—to wander by thy side. And should we hither stray, when young ro- mance Has feded {a ‘he world’s ungenial air, And the soft Lo, part ef the eagle glance In those dark eyes, te seen but faintly there, Ob! may we find in nsture’s beauty still A joy ai shadowless, a charm for every ill!

FOR 4LL THB PURPOBES OF 4 FAMILY PHYSIC, HERE HAS LONG EXISTED A PUBLIC i} demand for an effect.ve Purgative Pill which could be relied on as sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has beén pre to meet that | demand, and an extensive trial of Its virtues has | conctusively shown with what success it accom- | plishes the purpose designed. It ts easy to make a physical Bu , but not so easy to make the best of all Pills—one which should have none of the objections, but ail the advantages of every other. Tits has been attempted here, and with what sue- | cess we would respectfully submit to the public decision. It has been unfortunate for the patient hitherto that almost every purgative medicine is acrimonious and ir itating tothe bowels. This isnot Many of them produce so much griping pain and revulsion in the system as to more than i counterbalance the good to be derived from them These Pills produce no irritation or pain, unless it arises from a preriously existing obstruction or derangementinthebowels Being purely vege- table, no harm can arise from thelr use in any quantity; but itis better than any medicine should | be taken judiciougdy. Minute directions for their use in the several diseases te which they are ap- plicable are given on the box. Among the com- piaints which have been speedily cured by them we may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languorand Loss of Appetite, Listlessness, Irritability, B lious Headache, Billous Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain inthe Side and Lotus, for in truth, all these are but the consequence of diseased action of tae liver. As aneperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Costiveness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, | Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds, with sore- ness of the body, Ulcers and impurity of the bleed: in short any and every case where apurza tive is required. ‘The ve also produc: some singularly suc- m, Gout. Dropsy, Grav of the Heart, Pains in Stomach and Side. They shorld be nin the spring of the year, to purify and prepare the sysiem for the change An occasional dose stimulates the healthy action, @ estores the appe- tite and yigor. They purify the bleed, and by their stimulant action on the ¢‘reniatory system, renovate the strength of the body, and restore the ‘wasted or diseased energies of the whole organ- ism. Hence an occasional dose is advantageous even though no serious derangement exists; but unnecessary dosing should never be carried too far, as every purgative medicine reduces the strength, when taken toexcess The thousand cased in which a physic is required cannot be enu- merated here. but they suggest themselves to the reason of every body; and it is confidently be lieved this pil! will answer a better purpose than anything which has hitherto been available to mankin When their virtues are once known the ublic will no longer doubt what remedy to employ when in need of a cathartic medicine Being sugar wrapped they are pleesant to take, and bcing purely vegetabie, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity Hlies minute directions see the wrspper on the Ox PREPARED BY DR.
