EVENING STAR. TO MY BROTHER Come with me, dearest, to the river’s side, w — the bright floods make music as they ow And while we wander by its sparkling tide, Sweet memories will rise of lon, 0, And thoughts, that childhood bade ese waters keep, Flash forth once more from their enchanted sleep. Look where it flows, unchanged, unchangeable. Foaming o’er rocks and rippl! to the sun, = The shy trout plays the still, W bere dense and dark the restless currents run; How strange to know that thrice three years have past, Since we two 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 spray, And Pirde of 5) in thicket sung ; And like a shower of gold, te bonny broom le the amorous gale her buds of rich per- fume. Now autumn looks o’er fields of ripen’dcom, And sere ieaves rustle where our footsteps fall, Few and unfrequent now the notes are borne, ‘That made these solitudes so musical ; And so it is with us, for life no more, Though bappy still is spring time as of yore. Ay, we are changed ; upon thy noble brow Bwells the deep innsing meet for manhocd’s ime 5 Thy ake is tirmer. and thy rich lecks now Are somewhat darken’d by the touch of time, And graver cares are round thy spirit twine., Than in these shades thy childhood jeft behind Yet, — time sports with outward forms at will, In deeper things his breath has scarce been felt, And the long la 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 W here some bold river thunders on {ts course, Where catarac s in whiten’d showers desrend, Deafening the air with clamor loud and hoarse, Thou lovest .o ply the angler’s silent art, Alo.e with nature, and thy own deep heart Theu_ hast gone forth to mingle with the world, And breath’d the air of many a foreiyn clime; But from thy spirit never bas mn hurl’d The warm, fresh —— of that early time ; And I behold the glory of thy youth, Blest with an honest heart of kindness and truth. For we, though years have borne upon thy fight A thousand joys my childhood cculd not dream, My soul has ever found its chief delight t lonely mountain glen, or gushing stream And life can yield no pleasure end no pride Dearer than this,—to wander by thy side. And should we hither stray, when young rc- mance Has faded in the world’s ungenial air, And the soft lightning of the eagle glance In those dark eyes, be seen but faintly there, Ob ' may we find in nature’s beauty still A joy all shadowless, a charm for every ill! {Tatt’s Magazine ARRIVALS ATTHE PRINCIPAL HOTELS Willards’ Motei—s. c &u. 4. wiLtaRD f Trafton, SC W _E Barker, NY 6 W Buckman, do T Reed & ly, Va & son, Mo W_ Lambert, O W tewson & ly, Ala Miss Hewson, do tM Yr Hewson, do TH Ballett, Md J G Bente © K Collin: Dr Joviag & ly, 8C HC Wood, USA Dr Hayes, Mass J KH Eddy, do v T Mul ord, NY H JEFi kay, ark E F Sise, NH atiss Fisk, do W 3S Waliace, O N Forster, Ten EP Truoe, do N Michler, USA M Griswood, Va AC Weaver & ly, Pa G G Granger, Tex L.

FOR ALL THE PURPOBBS OF A FAMILY PHYSIC, HERE HAS LONG EXISTED A PUBLIC demand for an effective Purgative Pill which could be relied on as sure and perfectly safe in its operation. ‘his has been prepared to meet that demznd, and an extensive trial of its virtues has conclusively shown with what success It accom- Plishes the purpose designed. It is easy to make a physical Pill, but not so easy to make the best of all Pills—one which should have none of the objections, but all the advantages of every other. This has been attempted bere, 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 acrimonious aad triitating tothe bowels This isnot, Many of them produce so much eriping pain and revulsion in the system as to more than counterbalance the good to be derived from them. These Pells produce no trritation or pain, unless it arises from a previously existing obstruction or derangement inthe bowels Being purely veyee table, no harm can arise from their use in an quantity; but itis better than any medicine shoul be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their use in the several diseases to which they are ap- plicable are given on the box. Among the com- plaints 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 in the Side and Loins, for in truth, all these are but the consequence of diseased action of the liver.

They shovld be freely taken in the spring of the to purify the blood and prepare the system for the cha of seasons. An occasional dose stimulates t) stomach into wget action, and restores the appe- tite and vigor. They purify tne blood, and by their stimulant action on the circulatory system, renovate the strenyth of the erg and restore the wasted or di 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 thonsand cases in which a piiysic ts required cannot be enu- merated here. but they suggest themselves to the reason of every body; and it is contidently be lieved this pili will answer a better purpose than anything which has hitherto been available to mankind When their virtues are once known the public will no longer doubt what remedy to employ when in need of a cathartic medicine Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take and being purely vegetable, no harm ean aris¢ from their use in any quantity.
