(for the UAN'XEll.) TJic Belle's llctrospcclioii. Where are those days when words of praise My youtliiul soul delighted?when every tongue My beauty sung, and in me joy excit'd ? Where is that band whose every hand Sought mine with eager pleasure ? alas, they've fled. Or cold and dead, and grief is now my treasure. j Where arc those bowers of flagrant j flowers, That shone with brilliant splendor ? ! their bloom has gone. nieirodor nou n, nuc cinlUliooil's joys j so tender. The vernal green that decked the scene ; With smiles of sunny gladness, will not ; appealAgain to che<. r the heart replete with , sadness. j Where arc those charms, whose snow white arms Were oft for me extended.-' like an-j tumn's leaf, Their stay was brief-?too soon their ; glory ended. No beauty now adorns my brow? My beaux have all departed j and I am ! left, Of joy bereft, '"orlorn and broken heart- j ed. lluu toco last. I Epitaph on u Tailor. Here lies below a tailor dead, His name was Edward Prim ; He cabbag'd buckram,silk and thread, 'Till the devil cabbaged him. Dow, Jr., in one of his sermons, after demonstrating that wealth does not procure happiness says:? " A man with a small house, a small farm, a small wife, a big dog. a good cow, two or three fat pigs, and nine children, ought to he happy and satislied. If he or she isn't, they never can or will he," Poverty is no disgrace, and riches will not carry us to Heaven, the sooner. This is a true saying. A Good One.? A western editor gives the following as the most, approved method of killing fleas in those parts: Place the animal on a small pind hoard, and hedge him in with * putty ; then read him an ficcount of all the railroad and steamboat accidents whif.h havp. ?rr the last twelve months. As soon as he becomes frightened so as not to be able to stir, draw out his teeth, and he will starve to death ! A young lady was told by a married lady, that she had better precipitate herself off the Niagara Falls, into the basin beneath, than marry. The young lady replied? MI would if I thought 1 could find a husband at the bottom." An Irishman going to be hanged, begged that the rope might be tied under his arms instead of round his throat. "For," said Pat, w I am so remarkably ticklish in the throught, that if tied there, I'll certainly kill myself with laughter."' " Does Mr. Hobson keep Lent ?" " Most certainly?whatever is lent to him he is sure to keep." " Oh dear!" blubbered out, a young jonatnan, sullenng from the application of a birch?" Oh my! they tell me that forty rods make a furlong, but let them get such a plagued licking as I've had, and they'll say one rod makes an (achcr) acre!" A New Railroad.?" Ship-a-hoy!

II. A. JONES, C. E. Cornm'rs, Office, 23rd Feb, 1846. 13 52 : Dr. Spencer's Vegetable Bills, and Vegetable Tonic and Restorative BITTERS. The value and efficacy of Spencer's Vege' table Pills have long beer, known and ap' preciated in a great variety of diseases,and as the best and most important of Family Medicines. Dr Spencer having hecn ac~ ' tuatcd by a desire to benelit his fellow be' ings, has also prepared his Vegetable Tonic and Restorative Bitters, which he now offers to the public, as the result of an cx-> ' tensive practice, and thorough investiya tion of the laws which govern the human system. They arc purely Vegetable, and may be tn ken with perfect sufety by ail ages and i sexes in youthfui, adult and declining lift.*, i The design of Spencer's Vegetable Pills and Vegetable Tonic Restorative Bitters, ' is to create a flow o/ pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acid kind. The obiect of the Pills is to stimulate all the vital organs of the system into r.ction, and thereby cleanse the stomach and 1 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 conic most directly 1 under ?heir influence, and for which they . are so particularly designed, are as follows: i Bilious Fever, Fever and Agur, Dyspep, sia, Liver Complaints, Sick head-ache, , Enlargement of the Spleen, Jaundice,Piles t Cholic, Bowel and summer complaints, Immirifirs nf tlin hlnrwl Cumilii niicirtK.. r ? . i.w, tion, Heartburn, Incipient Diarroeh, rlabi^ twal Costivnne6s, 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 opperient 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 i expect in such cases, to be at once relieved entirely, but should continue the use of the Medicine for a considerable length of time. Full directions accompany the me. dicines 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 Snrncpr M?mIi TQ 1Q.1A i ? r- ..wV. muii/ii iw| iu**v? Dear Sir: I have made great use of your Vegetable Pills in my family for the last'hioe y?ars, and I consider t.liem the best medicine in use. I have made considerable use of Peters' Vegetable Pills, and many others, but I am convinced that yours are superior to any of them. For Sick Head Aeho they are an excellrnt medicine; for Bowel Complaint I think them the beat medicine 1 ever used. Some of my neighbors are also "using your Pills with the most decided benefit. In fine, 1 candidly confess that I have derived mor?? 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.
