(for the kanner.) TO MISS ELIZABETH . Lady! the harp that now is strung To wake an humble lay for the, Ilath long- in mournful silence hung, ]\T n rr I I nn thr* r* unvooc? t ron VIA WiiV V/J |iiVUO fc* V?U. In former days, the notes of joy Thrill'd sweetly on itsquiv'ringstrings, And all unminglcd with alloy, Arose its gentle murmurings. But Lady ! as the tide of life. Now bright, now dark, roll'd sadly on, Amid the tumult and the strife, Died every hope I fixed udoii. And I had thought my harp could wake To strains of joy or grief no more. But that its chords would silent break, As this my heart had broke before. Yet, by your angel-face inspired, I touch its strings still once again, No joyous lay must be required? Lady 1 this is its farewell strain. The last that on those chords will thrill, The last that will be woke by me ; 'But t would have you prize it still, Though mournful it is breathed to thee.

The Argentine News of March 7th states that our Minister, by authority of his Government, had offered the mediation of the United States to terminate the war between the Argentine Republic and the neighboring Republic or independency of Paraguay, and both parties accepted it. This is gratifying intelligence. These three American Governments are now exactly where we have long wished to see all our American Governments. mediating between each other, and settling their disputes among themselves.? Baltimore Patriot. Gen. Arista.?The Richmond Enquirer says?It is said that Gen. Arista commanded the Mexican army, and was present at. the late battle near Gen. Taylor's camp. A friend has given us some striking anecdotes of the honesty, intelligence and simple bearing of Gen. A. For some years he resided at Cincinnati, and carried on the tinning business. In the, cuy of Mexico he worked industriously in his little tin shop. Under the garb of modesty and poverty he concealed an ambitious spirit. His very simplicity of life saved him from the effects of jealous and domineering rivalry; but in the excitement of war, he was called to take command of the Mexican army. He is said to be a man of qualities vastly superior to those of his countrymen. Learned.?It is stated that the Hon. Geo. P. Marsh member of Congress from Vermont, can read, speak, and write, nineteen different languages. " I'm boarding out," as the loafer said when he curled himself up for the night in a pile .of lumber. It is said that there is a place on the Island of Cuba where the hens chew tobacco, and the turkies take snun : we aon t Delieve it. A hypocrite is one that neither is what he seems nor what he is. He is hated by the world for seeming a christian, and by God for not being.one. There could be no such thing as patience, if th'ere were no adversities to be endured ; no such thing as contentedness, if there were no wants to be felt; no such thing as industry, if there were no pains to be taken; no such thing as humility, if sensible infertilities and crosses did not prompt us to sober thoughts, and show us what we are. He that looks for cont.pnt mn?t look for innocence, for those who fly from one will never find the other. Always have principle enough to stick to your principles, and those who disagree, will respect you the more tor it. The boy who told the doctor that his father, who was laboring under delirium tremens, had the devils trembles, made bad Latin and 3 *r?__ - ? i - - gooq nngusn at tne same time. | Exampi.r.?"See here, my friend, you are drunk!" " Drunk ! to be sure 1 am and have bee?" for tlie last three years. You sec. mv V ' / brother and I are on a temperauce mission. He lectures while I serve as a frightful example !" Real friends are wont, to visit us in our prosperity only when invited ; but in adversity to come of their own accord. Whenever you notice any thing disgusting or ollensive in another, be very careful that you do not repeat it under similar circumstances. Good lessons are of great service in forming a character, but good examples are of much greater service. As the shadow follows the body, in the splendor of the fairest sunlight, so will the wrong done to another pursue the soul, in the brightest hours of prosperity. The rich man without benevo Icnce, is a tree without l'ruit; and the poor without patience, a lamp without oil. To-morrow is. the sluggard's motto, taught him by Satan. Today is the Christian's motto, taught him by God. Proclamation!

The enthusiasm of our sister States Kave poured out thousands of brave men to their aid, but our country still calls 'or more to carry out this war to a safe and honorable conclusion ; and . the Governor, in compliance with the re- \ quirement made upon him, calls upon his fellow citizens to rally around the" 1?_J _c . 1 siuuuaiu ui our couniry ana enrol mem- ( selves in her service.

The lessons are judiciously selected, well arranged, and calculated at once to improve the mind and heart. Dr Ruschenberger's series of *Text Books of Natural History* are admirable, and supply a deficiency which has long been felt in our Elementary c hools, not to say Colleges, in which the book of Nature fair' has beer, too little studied, and our children and vouth. con sequently, nay, our grown up men, though living and moving in the midst of the most surprising wonders, neither heed ror feel any interest in them, hccause they have not the most elementary knowledge to serve as a first step to excite their attens tion, or guide their observations. This state of things need no longer, and we hope will no longer, continue.

The value and efficacy of pencer's Vege. table Pills have long beer, known and appreciated in a great variety of diseases,and as the best and most important of Family Medicines. Dr penccr having been ac~ tuated by a desire to benefit 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 ox-, tensive practice, and thorough investigation of the laws which govern the human system. They are purely Vegetable, and may be taken with perfect safety by all ages and sexes in youthful, adult and declining life. The design of pencer's Vrgetable Pills and Vegetable Tonic Restorative Bitters, is to create a flow of 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 t ction, and thereby cleanse the stomach and bowels of all the morbific and offensive matter ivitli ivhipli tin* oirofom to and which promotes disease. The Bitters are to strengthen and restore the stomach and vital organs, to their proprr tone and vigor. When this is accomplished, good henlih must be the result. The complaints that come most directly under their influence, and for which they are so particularly designed, are as follows: Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, ick head ache, Enlargement of the pie en, Jaundice,Piles Cliolic, Bowel and summer complaints. Impurities of the blood, Female Obstruct j tion, Heartburn, Incipient Diarroeh, Habw tual Costiveness, Determination of blood to the head, Loss of Appt--tit?', Blotched or allow Complexion and in all cast s of Torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or apperinnt medicine is needed. As many of the abovf4 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 use of the Medicine (or a considerable length of lime. Full directions accompany the medicines for their use,in all those complaints for which they are recommended. Price 25 cents per box (or 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. p ?ncer? March 18, 1846. Dearir: 1 have made great use of your Vegetable Pills in my family for the last?.hiee years, and I consider them the best medicine in use. I have made considerable use of Peters' Vegetable Pills, and manv others, but I am ennuin/....) tu< yours are superior to any of them. For Ic k Head Ache they are an excellent medicine; for Bowel Complaint I think them the beat medicine 1 ever used, ome of my neighbors are also using your Pills with the most decided benefit. In fine, 1 candidly confess that I have derived more real benefit from them than from any other medicine 1 have ever used; and 1 think that every family should always keep a supply of thero on hand.
