It is only a few years since these Pills were first i presented to the Public, but in that time some thous ands of persons might be found who would solemnly . declare thai they believed their lives were saved by them, and in many cases after they had tried most j and perhaps all the common remedies in vain. ? j Wherever they are known they are rapidly coming into use and this affords the most substantial and ; convincing proof of their merits. They are composed entirely of vegetable matter, ; and honestly promise no more than they faithfully perform. A physician of eminence whohad witnessed the j efficacy of these. PiUs in his own private practice, i had the' candor recently to acknowledge to the pro- i prietor, that he had never used an article that answ ered a better purpose for what they are recommen ded, and that they ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole class of such remedies. Per4 ips no article of the kind has ever been offered to the Pob&c, supported by testimonials of a character so decisive, from sources as respectable, or that has met with more general favor. ?? These HQs have been most successfully employ ed in almost every variety of functional disorder of the Stomach, Bowels, Liver, and Spleen; such as Heart Burn, Acid Eructations, Nausea, Head Ache, psm and distention of the Stomach and.

Hail, through the mists that o'er thee stream, Lend to thy brow tlieir sullen dye ! IIuw should thy pure and peaceful eye Untroubled view our scenes below, Or how a tearless beam supply To light a world of war and wo ? Fair Qneen ! I will not blame thee now, As once by Greta's fairy aide. Each little cloud that dimmed thy brow l>id then an angel's beauty hide. And of the shades I then could chide. Still are the thoughts to memory dear, For, while a softer strain I tried, 'lliey hid my blush and calmed my fear. . Then did I swear thy ray serene Was formed to light some lonely dell, By two fond lovers only seen, Reflected from the crystal well ; Or sleeping on their mo sy cell, Or quivering on the lattice bright, Or glancing on their couch to tell ilow swiftly wanes the summer night. SONNET. By Michael Bruce. 'Now Spring returns ? but not to me returns The vernal joy ray better years have known : Dim in my breast Life's dying taper burns, ? And all the joys of life with health are flown. Farewell, ye blooming fields, ye cheerful plains ! Enough for me the churchyard's lonely mound, Where Melancholy with still Silence reigns, And the rank grass waves o'er the cheerless ground. There let me sleep forgotten in the clay, When Death shall shut these weary, aching eyes ; Rest in the hope of an eternal day, Till the long night is gone, and the last morn shall rise. Hawkins County E. Ten., ) July, ia37. S Editor of Farmer. ? Altho' I have not seen in your most useful of papers as many ar ticles on the silk culture, as I should like to see, yet I do not doubt it is a subject in which you feel a deep interest ? and one on which every item of intelligence concerning its in troduction into East Tennessee, particularly, will be gratifying to you and many of your readers. As an American, I rejoice at the growing interest begining to be felt in almost every section of the Union, in this great future source of national prosperity ? but as a native citizen of East Tennessee, my gratification is greatly increased in its introduction here.? East Tennessee, adapted in climate and soil, most happily to the culture of silk, as I believe, would be , if this culture was generally intro duced, placed on a fair level with any other section of the United States. Denied as she now ift, by her mountain pent up situation, she participates but little in' the advantages of *od the tide* of prosperity tfhicfc flow over the land in all its length and breadth, scarcely rolls a feeble wave across the high lands which seperates us from them. But make E3st Tennessee a silk growing country, and you will have consumated her prosperity ? yes, in despite of those ignorant would-be great-men who .oppose every project for her relief, and elevation, she would rise superior to all her present difficulties. But to the object for which I commenced this letter, which is to give you some brief account of the beginingsofthe silk culture in this county, &c. ? There are in-the vicinity of Rogersville and other parts of the couuty, ten or more individ uals who have commenced the culture of the White and Chinese mulberry, generally with a view to the growing of silk. An association oCthste individuals in Rogersville, have trans planted into an orchard this season, more than thirty thousand of the white mulberry, and have also planted between three and four thousand of the Chinese or Morus Multicau lis ? both the white and Chinese are doing well. ? It is the;r intention I understand, to increase thicr stock of Chinese next season to one hundred thousand, or more, if they can, after supplying what demand there may be for -cuttings in this section of the country.* They have fed a small crop of worms this sea son to supply themselves with a stock of eggs, and intend to try a fall crop of worms. Should they succeed in raising two crops of worms in a season, they hope to be able to make a fair beginning in the silk culture next season, and will endeavor, if their foliage is sufficient, to feed 1,000,000 of worms which may produce 400 pounds of reeled silk worth at $6 per lb., $2,400 ? but this I understand depends upon the success of the fall crop, as their trees are too young to afford a sufficiency of leaves in the spring to feed more than the fourth of that number. They contemplate erecting a cocoonery this fall sufficient to feed 2,000,000 , wonus in the season, and to enlarge their bus iness as their trees increas in size. ; Tiere are two other gentlemen in another section of the county, who are progressing , equally rapid. They have not so many of the whit^ mulberry, but have some of greater age, and have planted this season near twenty thou- 1 sand of the Chinese, which I understand are doing finely. It is their intention also to en deavor to make a crop of silk next season equal perhaps ?o those I first mentioned, and intend ! ultimately to go largely into the business, You have perhaps noticed in papers pub lished in the northern States, on the culture of silk, something of the size the mulberry at tains to the first season. So far as those no tices have fallen under my observation, the white I think, grows from the seed, from one to two, or two and a half feet high the first season ? the Chinese from three to six feet high from the cutting, the first year. Permit me | to tell you of their growth in this county the last season. The white, from the seed in three different nurseries, that I have seen, attained the height of between five and six feet, per haps some evgn exceeded six fee? ; and the Chinese in different nurseries attained the height of 9? 10,? and even 11 feet a ? I was informed in one nursery, with many leaves, from 33 to 36,inches in circumference. These trees were grown from cuttings generally about the size of a good rye straw? some less, some a little larger* and about six inches long, brought from New York the winter before. Those planted this season, that I have seen, appear to be in a more prosperous condition *A supply of cuttings of both Chinese and 1 White Mulberry will be kept hereafter lo meet any demand that will probably arise, and on better terms than tney can be had in New York. fhan they were last season, at the same time, owing perhaps, to a better understanding of the mode of planting and cnlture. This ex traordinary growth will seem incredible per haps to a northern man, as I observed Mr. Sinclair of Baltimore, some time tiace, when about to publish the account of tW growth of j his Chinese from the cutting the last season, could not risk his veracity, but took a friend to assist him in noting the dimemioav of a. plant that had grown to the heigh iftizfect, three inches. A word in conclusion on the feediflg of the worms. I have known a dozen dtifeurjit fam ilies without any knowledge of the Jbusiamt other than their good sense, supplied as tbejrj. progressed, within the last fetr jdm^ear a ^ crop of worms fed by the native mttJBerry and always with success. And I hare se^b children take up a cocoon and tfind the silk oft ? book or into a ball as though it were a ball of cot ton or woollen yarn. The yankees, you know, are a cool, calculating, thrifty people, who do not easily enter into wild visionary schemes : and although living in a high northern lati tude, comparatively unfavorable to the silk culture, what are they doing in this thing ? Mr. Adams' late report to the House of Rep resentatives, says: ? All of the New England States are engaging in the culture and manu facture of Silk: and four of them are giving bounties by legislative ef^ptmeat to the grow- , ers, to encourage its spfftdy and extensive in troduction. Massachusetts gives a bounty of two dollars a pound for reeled silk, a sum suf ficient it is said, to pay every expense. Con necticut gives a bounty of one dollar per hun dred trees, cultivated for five years, and fifty cents a pound bounty for reeled silk. Com panies are forming and procuring acts of incorporation, and individuals in private capacity throughout the country engaging in it. One county in Connecticut has produced S500,000 worth of silk in a season. 4 Now may we not profit by this example, or shall we. sit supinely complaining of our hard fale when we see every other portion of our great nation more prosperous than we are, only because they are more enterprising ? understand and pursue the proper way to pros perity. A SUBSCRIBER. Napoleon Bonaparte and Tippoo Saib. ? Among some papers lately found at the palace of Tippo at Seringapatam, a letter has been discovered and published in a German Jour nal, written by Bonaparte to Tippoo Saib, after his landing in Egypt. Itgives indications po sitive enough of the views of Napoleon in his occupation of Efcypt, and of the results which the campaign might have had. The letter is in the following terms: The French Republic one and indivisible. .V Bonaparte, General in Chief, to the Sub lime Sultan, our Grand friend Tippoo Saib. Head quarters, at Cairo, 7th pluviose, year VII of the Republic one and indivisible. You are already informed of my arrival on the shores of the Red Sea, with a numerous and invincible army, full of the desire of de livering you from the iron yoke of England. I seize this opportunity to inform youibat I de sire to learn by way of Musket or Mocha, whatever concerns you, and to know your political situation. I pray you to send me at Suez or Cairo, an intelligent man who has your confidence, and who can treat with me. May the all-powerful increase your force and annihilate your enemies. Signed, Bo>aparte. Prccious Relic . When the tomb of the great Emperor Charlemagne, at Aixla Cha elle, was opened, his bones were found envel oped in Roman vestments, his dftuble crown of France and Germany was on his fieshless brow, and his pilgrim's wallet was by his side, as well as his good sword Joyeuse, with which, according to the Monk of St. Denis, he clove in two a knight clothed in complete armour. His feet rested on the buckler of solid gold given to him by Pope Leo, and round his neck was suspended the talisman which rendered him victorious, and which was formed of a piece of the true cross, sent to him by the Era press Irene. It was enclosed in an emerald, attached to a large chain of golden links. The burghers of Aix la Chapelle presented it to Napoleon in 1811, when he entered that town, One day, in playful mood, he threw it over the neck of Queen Hortense, declaring that he wore it on his breast at the battles of AlM-, terlitz 2Lnd Wag ram, as Charlemagne had worn it for nine years. From thatday^the precious relic has never been separated from the Duchess de St. Leu, (now ex-Queen) who relies upon it in sickness as a talisman. ANOTHER STEAM BOILEREXPLOWON.

On tack aid# " of this entrance, avenues blanch oft leading to committee Rooms, and suwadnd across from wall to wall, the words "Refectory," with . significant emblems of their contents, are em blazoned on the illuminated canvass. A de scription of one will answer for a description r of both of these National Bar Rooms. The first object which presents itself after entering the Refectory is a little circular bar in one corner, with upright slats, like Yankee toddy -rooms, where Monsieur Letour pre sides with his busy sugar stick, surrounded with all the paraphernalia of his office. He is gracious as you please, and polite as Ches terfield, and compounds a dozen glasses of . "sling" and "julep" and "wine-hilfefs" at the same moment. This room is perhaps fifteen , feet long, and opposite to Monsieur, a lon^ , bench is laid, wheife two orthtee glossy skins are busily engaged in opening oysters. As % sort of connecting link between the liquids and solids, numerous edibles hang in the form of raw steaks, dead fowls and sausages, ready to be impaled upon the spit or stretched upon the gridiron. In front of these appendages, is the culinary department, with the soiled plates and the (woken victuals, and a fire place, before which two or three blacks are rotating meats or stewing oysters, their skins glistening with heat and penpfratfen. From the dimen sions of the room, it wiH be seen, bat asmall territory is left for the accotouiu Jatiaa qi guests and "distinguished strangers"? yet amidst this congregated mass of UaBbaaMfe meats 'ted steam from the fire from the hot slings and brandy or thirty individuals often aye there, verging from dignified Representatives, down to the si boy in the Capitol. The clamorous importunities of so many hu ngry andifry people, of course, pwan an amusing scene to a attaager, especially when he sees in these small, dark anckevea filthy tap rooms, so many ate are conspicuous as great men, in the 'public newspapers. Ad joining this apartment ts.aaotner of about equal dimensions, filled with little alcoves or spread wtth a long liable, where food is served up for those who ask for provisions which need more deliberate mastication. "The whole establishment is dimly lighted, every thing is soiled and dirty, and nothing can be more offensive to the eye, as they are (*r be low the fourth-rate cook shops found in Bos ton or New York. Yet these are the places where members of Congress resort for re freshments, from whence ihany of them emerge in a state of inebriation. When the night sessions are held and a quorum is wanted, the first place the Ser geant of Arms visits is these substerranean bar room?. Many Senators and Represen tatives have their brandy regular at these grogeries, and often-times successive glasses of strong drink are carried up into the Rep resentatives* . Chamber, to refresh certain members while giving utterance to their windy and miserable declamation. Many membeia of Congress will never degrade themselves by entering these Refectories, and the surprise is, that some officer of the Congressional Temperance Society does not propose Reform in the basement, as well as in the more elevated apartments of the capi tal. ? yorthampton Courier .
