It'ever I have crushed^^Keah,
Or bowed myself Ix^^Hhc strong ;
If ever I have failed
Against the tiling u^HB.irlv wron ??
Then draw from me v^^Elping hand.
And send uae forth i^^?oor and bare:
A wanderer on my native land,
tamped with the in irk that Cain did bear.
If I have heard the orphan's cry,
And turned .wide, and would not hear?
If I have seen the child to die
And with the mother she 1 ho tear!? . j
Then I et tnisfor;unc round me wait,
> And misery nestle in my bedAll

And every hope of uiinc be dead.
* If I have e'er oppressed the poor.
Or triumphed o'er a suppliant foe,
Or turned the wretehed from my door,
Or said to begging woman, no ?
Then may my tongue refuse to speak,
And palsied be my good right hand,
lit And I go forth a moral wreck ?
A wanderer in my native laud.
But e'er I do forgot the wrong,
To inc, that sneaking prejudice
And base ingratitude hath done?
(Ingratitude, hull's darkest vice)?
May powers below and earth combined,
Pour all the evils on tny head
That have befallen nil mankind

its name from Februaliu, a feast of sacri

supposed to be cleansed from the sins of
the whole year. It corresponds to Adau,
(Ezra vi. 15.) the sixth civil, and twelfth
snored mouth of the Jews. By the Saxons
it was called Sol-monulh, i. c. the
Sun month, from the evident increase in
the length of the days.]

It was Bishop Horner's opinion that

which they have been shipwrecked.?

An exchango tolls tliis good story :
A yankee and Frenchman owned it pig
in copartnership. When killing time
came they wished to divide th 3 carcass
The ynnkoe was anxious to divide so that
he should get both hind quarters, and
persuaded the Frenchman that the proper
way to divide was to cut it across the
back. The Frenchman agreed to it, on
condition that the Yankee would turn his
hack and take choice of the pieces after it
was cut in two. The Yankee turned his
hack, and the Frenchman asked :
"Vitch piece vill you have; zo piece
wid ze tail on him, or ze piece what aint
got no tail on him?"
I "The piece wiih the tail on him!" '
! shouted the Yankee.
"Den, hy gar, you take him, and I take
ze other said the Frenchman. i
Upon looking round the Yankee found
that the Frenchman had cut off th?- tail
and stuck it in the pig's mouth.

The novelty and inlo-cst of this extraor- !
dina.y publication may be judged from the
fact, that it is an undisguised revelation of
the Author's Courtship of Mies Gamble, the !
great American heiress, and is full of the 1
most romantic and amusing scenes and in- '
vident, winding up with the Authors detention
in an Italian prison. The distinguished
persons, both of Europe and tho United 1
States, who took a part in this exciting and I
mysterious drama, are all brought forward
with their private correspondence. The incredible
nnd piqnent devclopcments of this '
lively book inast create a deep sensation
and command an unprecedented sale. The
painful necessity of this txpute will be admitted
by all, when Ihoy come to see that
both the Bri'isli Government as well as the
Altarine herself, have constantly rcfusod to

Author excopt by offers of moaey, which ho

you that your Extract of Yellow.Dock snd
Saraaparilla has performed one of the most
wonderful cures on me that has ever been effected
on man.
I have been afflicted for forty years with
eruptions on my legs and feet; in 1818 they
got so bad that I bad to go on crutches,
and in 1849 I bad one leg amputated above
the km*. In about nine months after my
other leg broke out in large eating and running
sores from my knee to mv foot, and
discharged a great deal of offensive matter.
My groin also broke out in large biles which
discharged much ollVnaive matter, and at
the same time my left hand broke out in
. large running sores nearly to my elbow.
The misery that I have suffered for the
Inst two years. I csnnot describe to you. I

In October Inst my son bionght mo one
of your bottle wruppors; I read it, and found
record of some wonderful cures performed
by your 'Extract of Yollow-Dock nn.l Snrnnpnrilln,'
I sent nnd got two bottles of if,
and commenced taking it. In two weeks to
my great astonishment, my ao.es all became
easy, and I could sleep nil night, n thing I
ha?f not done for two yours. When I had
taken six bottles, my sores were nearly all
healed, My sores got well nsif by enchantment.
I have now used in ail, eight bottles
of your "Extract of Yellow-Dock and Saraapnrilla,"
and I now consider myself well.
I entreat all of the afflicted to try this
medicine for I believe it will cure any known
disease in the world. Lay aside all prejudice
and just try it, nnd proclaim its great
worth to suffering mankind and entreat them
to take it, for it will cure them.
My en so is well known in a largo portion
of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama,
nnd if any should doubt the above euro, I invite
them tocsllon me, nnd I will show them
the sears. I ran be found in Tnllupossa

SERIES FOR 1850.
THE HOME JOURNAL,
MORKIS AND WILLIS. EDITORS.
THE first number ?f the new series will
be issdfed on tlio 1st of January next.
New subscribed cnn be supplied from tliut
date ; but immediate application will bo
necessary for such us desire to begin wit li
the beginning. A home is hardly complete,
we think we may safely venturo to sny,
without the Home Journal, which, besides
being a chronicle of the times, abounds in
intelligence designed to enliven an American
llome. Its editors (Geo. P. Morris and
N. P. Willis) devote their entire time, skill
and experience, to the task of giving each
week, everything worth knowing. They
particularly keep nn eye on nil the whims
and novelties of the day. The utmost pains
are taken to present the facts and outlines
of all news. In tho literary department,
wo aim at sketches and readable criticism,
and in our condensations of the productions'
of tho vast newspaper world of Karopc, vyo
endeavor to avoid tho tiresome and tho JA-.
enl, and transfer to our columns the pick of?
English information and brilliancy, while
, we endeavor to select with a true senso of
i pure morals, true wit, and genuine humor.
: In addition to the above, wcliave mndo new
arrangements for a feature that is nlwnys'
attractive in a family journal. From several
different sources we are to be supplier?
with the news and gossip of Aim York Society.
In a metropolis like ours, centre the
more sparkling elements of the life of onr
country at large, and collision and attrition
bring out much which would else be dormant.
Afloat, iu society gossip, is a small
world, of which the ordinary newspapers
make no report, and of this we think we can
| promise amusing photographs. In nnnnuneing
also, A new series of articles by Mr.
Willis, in addition to his usual labors, we
claim the privilege of having them to designate
their own style ar.d title as they appear.
They are to bo quite different from
anything widch has ever been published in
this journal from his pen, and we aro very
sure that they will bo no less attractive, to
say the least. The graphic and highly-finished
sketches, by "Tho laidy of Shalott
"Timothy Quaint" and others, will be con
tinned. We hsivonlsn new correspondents
