and gall of his own deep-seated malice. Pity that our heaven-born sympathy < should be so credulous, so easily gulled, ' and made to defeat the end of its bestow- 1 ment Yet such is its nature, and such ' the use the wicked will attempt to make ^ of it. ? Innocence and Virtue, strong in their ( integrity, suppose their tower impregna- t ble ; for they judge that their truth and I open-handed honesty must be apparent 1 to all men, that they are above suspicion, and consequently, seldom, if ever, endeavor to fortify themselves with the too easily excited sympathy of the world. Whereas, Corruption and Guilt, conscious of their weakness?knowing that light would expose, and that exposure would ruin?bring all the power of 1 cunning and art to their aid, either to 1 extinguish the light of testimony, or to J jaundice the mental vision by exciting a , sickly sympathy in its defence. Thus, ^ when too late, Innocence?finds itself out- g witted?its rights sacrificed by popular t prejudice?its cause defeated by suborn t testimony?and itself the object of the ; people's scorn : while fraud and wickedness is caressed by a deceived rojulti- ? tude, and obtains a seat in the chairot of s the gentleman. jjgk t This general description, Mr^lMhor, S will apply to many particular ?Tses. To suffering innocence*, our motto says: ^ You still possess the vantage of * your antagonist Slander may' excite j prejudice against you, and thus injure ^ your standing before men ; but it is powerless cither to rob you of your integrity t or to sway the judgment-of the la?t day. 1: Injustice and perjury may defraud you r of your property and bring you to iem- ? poral want, but cannot steal the treasure 1 cf your heart?cannot cxclude you from ? the riches of heaven.

She is mentioned by ltamsay, Marshall, Bancrott and Weems, as wealthy and beautiful, one to whom Washington had long been attached?but neither of them give her maiden name ; and all but Weems forgot to mention the time of her birth. But we believe that her maiden name was Dand ridge. A Mrs. King, of Hartford, Conn., having been recently converted to Mormonism, has left her husband and gone off with a couple of the " Elders," to Nauvoo or California. She took with her her little son, but the father recovered him at Cabotville or its vicinity, but it does not appear that he made any attempt to recover his wife, as he certainly would have been a fool for doing.

I The value and efficacy of Spencer's Vegetable Pills have long beer, known and ap . picuiuiuu in u o. jai variety 01 aiseases.aetl as ihe best and most important of Family \ Medicines. Dr Spcnccr having been actuated by a desire to benefit his fellow beings, has also prepared his Vegetable ToI nic and Restorative Bitters, which he now i offers to the public, as the result of an ex-? tensive practice, and thorough investigation of the lawS which govern the human system. \ They are purely Vegetable, and may be taken with perfect snfety by nil ages and " sexes in youthful, adult and declining life, i The design of Spencer's Vegetable Pills and Vegetable Tonic Restorative Bitters, j is to create a flow of pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acid kind. i The obiect of the Pills is to stimulate ! all the vital organs of the system info r.c~ j tion, and thereby cleanse the stomach and i bowels of all the morbific and offensive : matter with which the SVKtnm is nlnnrcrorl . . - J j and winch promotes disease. The Bitters , are to strengthen and restore the stomach J and vital organs, to their proper tone and i vigor- When this is accomplished, good health must be the result. The complaints that come most dircctly i ider their influence, and for which they u:qso particularly designed, aroas follows: Briious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick head-ache. Enlargement of the Spleen, Jaundice,Piles Cholic, Bowel and summer complaints. Impurities of the blood, Female Obstruct tion. Heartburn, Incipient Diarroeh, Habi^ tual Costiveness, Determination of blood to the head, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complexion and in all cases of Torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or appcrient medicine is needed. As many of the above enumerated diseases come on imperceptibly, and become far advanced in their progress before it is suspected that they exist in the system, no one should expect In such cases, to be at once relieved entirely, uui. uhuuid continue the use of the Medicine for a considerable length of time. Full directions accompany the medicines for their use,in all those complaints for which they are recommended. Price 25 cents per box for the Pills, and $1 per bottle for the Bitters. Reader! do not fail to notice the following certificate from Mr James Lindsy, of Jefferson? Jackson co., Geo. To Dr. Spcncer? March 18, 18^6. Dear Sir: I have made great use of your Vegetable Pills in my family for the last thioe years, and I consider theni the best medicine in us& I have made con siaeraoic use ot i'eters' Vegetable Pills, and many others, but I am convinced that yours are superior to any of them. For Sick Head Ache they are an excellent medicine; for Bowel Complaint I think them the best medicine 1 ever used. Some of my neighbors are also using your Pills with the most decided benefit. In fine, I candidly confess that I have derived more real benefit from them than from any other medicine 1 have ever used; and I think that every family should always keep a supply of them on hand.
