I % % Spring.?Wc know not who is the lUthor of the following, but it is exquiitely beautiful. In all climates spring- is beautiful, n the South, it is intoxicating, and sets i poet beside himself. The birds begin o sing ; they utter a few rapturous notes, mu men wait lor an answer 111 the stent woods. Those green coated musiians, the frogs make a holiday in the leighboring marshes, They, too, beong to t'ne ochestra of Nature, whose rast theatre, is again opened, though tlie loors have so long been bolted with iciles, and scen?ry hung with snow and rostlikc cobwebs. This is the prelude vhich announces thc4'ising of the broad rreen curtain. Already the grass shoots orth. The waters leap with thrilling iuIsc through the veins of the earth ; he sap through the veins or the plants .nd trees, and the blood through the eiiisof man. What a thrill of delight n the spring time! What a joy in bcug and moving ! Men are at work in gardens, and in the air there is an odor f the fresh earth. The leaf buds be;in to swell and blush. The white lo?sorns of the chcrry hang upon t!ie toughs like snow-flakes, and cue long: ur next door neighbors will be comiletely hidden from us by the dense refrn foliage. The flowers open their oft blue eyes. Children arc let loose in lie fields and gardens. They hold butcr cups under each other's chins to see f they love butter. And the little girls dorn th'emse^fc with chains and curls f* di-.ndelioii^?pull out the yellow eaves to see if the school-boy loves tiem, and bl v the down from the leafess stalk to frtrd out if their mothers I'ant them at home. ~*And night so loudless and so still; not a voice of iving thing, not a whisper or waving ough, not a breath of wind, not a sound ipon the earth or in the air! And overbad bends the blue sky, dewy and soft, nd radicnt with innumerable stars, like tie inverted bell of some blue flower. priukled with golden dust, and brcatliig fragrance. Or if the heavens are vercast, it is no wiid storm of wind and ain, but clouds that melt and full in howers. One does not wish to sleep, iut lies awake to hear the pleasant ound of the dropping rain. Importance of Insects to Commerck. ?The importance pf insects to coinrierce is scarcely ever treated of, at the resent rate; Great Britain does not pay ?ss than a million of dollars annually 3r the dried carcasses of a tiny insect ?the Cochineal, Gum Shellac, another nsect "product from India, is of scarcely ess pecuniary value. A million and half of human beings derive their sole npport from the culture and manufacure of silk, and the silk worm alone routes au* annual circulating midium of ictween one hundred and My and two tundred millions of dollars. Half a million of dollars is annuallv snent in J X England alone for foreign honey; 10,100 hundred weight of wax is imporcd into that country each year. .Then here are the gall nuts of cqmmerce, ised for dyeing, and in the manufacture if ink, &c. The Cantharides, or Spansh fly, is an important inscct to the melical practitioner. Laying aside the imposes insects perform in the schemes if nature, they are economically not the nsignificant and unimportant creatures vUiich the uninformed mind-is but too ipt to regard them. < On the SLh Febuary, considerate sickness prevailed among the \merican mission family in Wesern Africa, The odicers and ;rews of the United States vessels >n that station, were all well.

A sample of this Cotton can be seen at the store of the Messrs Wardlaw's. Il was received in a letter from a friend, accompanied with some of the seed. This kind of Cotton sold for sixteen cents in the New Orleans market last fall, when other Cottons of superior quality sold for eight cents. Competent judges have pronounced the Mastodon to be equal to the Sea Island Cotton, both in beauty of texture and length of fibre, and with this greater advantage, that it will mature well on the Uplands of the Cotton growing States. A few seed can be obtained by the Fanners for experiment, by an early application to Mr. Sclleck, in said store. April 15 7 tf The Treasury of History.

T1>C value and efficacy of Spencer's Vegetable Pills have long beer, known and up- ! predated in a great variety of diseases,and ! as the best and most important of Family | Mcdicincs. Dr Spencer having been ae? i tuated by a desire to benefi'. his fellow beings, has also prepared his Vegetable Tonic and Restorative liiUers, which he now nlTi^ra tn flip nilKlirv na llin rnciilf nf i r> nv " |'?v. IVJ VI Ull VAH ( tensive praclicc, and thorough investigation?of the laws which govern the human system. i They are purely Vegetable, and may be taken with pcrfect sulety by all ages and sexes in youthful, adult and declining life. , The design of Spencer's Vegetable Pills ^ and Vegetable Tome Restorative Bitters, , is to create a flow of pure healthy bile, in-* ' stead of the stale and acid kind. The obiect of the Pills is to stimulate all the vital organs of the system iuto retion, and thereby cleanse the stomach and bowels of all the morbific and offensive ; matter with which the system is clogged, and which promotes disease. The Bitters are to strengthen and restore the stomach and vital organs, to their proper tone and vigor. When this is accomplished, good health must be the result. The complaints that come moEt directly under their influence, and for which they are so particularly designed, are as follows: Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Siclc head ache, i Enlargement of the Spleen, Jaundice,Piles Cliolic, Bowel and summer complaints. Impurities o! the blood, Female Obstruct tion, Heartburn, Incipient Diarroch, Habitual Costjveness, Determination of blood (o the head, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complexion and in all cases of Torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or apperient 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, but. should continue the us?6f the Medicine for a consiriornhln lonntu nt - - *W"!5V" w" time. Full directions accompany the medicincs for their use,in all those complaints fofr which they are recommcndcd. \ Price 25 cents per box for the Pills, and ?1 per bottle for the. Bitters.

March 18,1846. 1 Dear Sir: I have made great use of your Vegetable Pills in my family for the 1 lastMiice years, and I consider them the i best medicine in use.
