and gall of his own deep-seated malice.
Pity that our heaven-born sympathy <
should be so credulous, so easily gulled, '
and made to defeat the end of its bestow- 1
ment Yet such is its nature, and such '
the use the wicked will attempt to make ^
of it. ?
Innocence and Virtue, strong in their (
integrity, suppose their tower impregna- t
ble ; for they judge that their truth and I
open-handed honesty must be apparent 1
to all men, that they are above suspicion,
and consequently, seldom, if ever,
endeavor to fortify themselves with the
too easily excited sympathy of the world.
Whereas, Corruption and Guilt, conscious
of their weakness?knowing that
light would expose, and that exposure
would ruin?bring all the power of 1
cunning and art to their aid, either to 1
extinguish the light of testimony, or to J
jaundice the mental vision by exciting a ,
sickly sympathy in its defence. Thus, ^
when too late, Innocence?finds itself out- g
witted?its rights sacrificed by popular t
prejudice?its cause defeated by suborn t
testimony?and itself the object of the ;
people's scorn : while fraud and wickedness
is caressed by a deceived rojulti- ?
tude, and obtains a seat in the chairot of s
the gentleman. jjgk t
This general description, Mr^lMhor, S
will apply to many particular ?Tses.
To suffering innocence*, our motto says: ^
You still possess the vantage of *
your antagonist Slander may' excite j
prejudice against you, and thus injure ^
your standing before men ; but it is powerless
cither to rob you of your integrity t
or to sway the judgment-of the la?t day. 1:
Injustice and perjury may defraud you r
of your property and bring you to iem- ?
poral want, but cannot steal the treasure 1
cf your heart?cannot cxclude you from ?
the riches of heaven. " 'Tis better to
lose, than to be lost." N. V. R. a

Miss Dandridge.?Martha Washington,
wife of General George

in the same year with her husband,
in 1732, according to Weems ; and

She is mentioned by ltamsay, Marshall,
Bancrott and Weems, as
wealthy and beautiful, one to
whom Washington had long been
attached?but neither of them
give her maiden name ; and all but
Weems forgot to mention the
time of her birth. But we believe
that her maiden name was Dand

A Mrs. King, of Hartford, Conn.,

attempt to recover his wife, as he

for doing. The Hartford Times

I Dr. Spencer's Vegetable Pills,
I and Vegetable Tonic and Restorative
; BITTERS.
I The value and efficacy of Spencer's Vegetable
Pills have long beer, known and ap
. picuiuiuu in u o. jai variety 01 aiseases.aetl
as ihe best and most important of Family
\ Medicines. Dr Spcnccr having been actuated
by a desire to benefit his fellow beings,
has also prepared his Vegetable ToI
nic and Restorative Bitters, which he now
i offers to the public, as the result of an ex-?
tensive practice, and thorough investigation
of the lawS which govern the human
system.
\ They are purely Vegetable, and may be
taken with perfect snfety by nil ages and
" sexes in youthful, adult and declining life,
i The design of Spencer's Vegetable Pills
and Vegetable Tonic Restorative Bitters,
j is to create a flow of pure healthy bile, instead
of the stale and acid kind.
i The obiect of the Pills is to stimulate
! all the vital organs of the system info r.c~
j tion, and thereby cleanse the stomach and
i bowels of all the morbific and offensive
: matter with which the SVKtnm is nlnnrcrorl
. . - J
j and winch promotes disease. The Bitters
, are to strengthen and restore the stomach
J and vital organs, to their proper tone and
i vigor- When this is accomplished, good
health must be the result.
The complaints that come most dircctly
i ider their influence, and for which they
u:qso particularly designed, aroas follows:
Briious Fever, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaints, Sick head-ache.
Enlargement of the Spleen, Jaundice,Piles
Cholic, Bowel and summer complaints.
Impurities of the blood, Female Obstruct
tion. Heartburn, Incipient Diarroeh, Habi^
tual Costiveness, 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
appcrient 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, uui. uhuuid continue the use of
the Medicine for a considerable length of
time. Full directions accompany the medicines
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. Spcncer? March 18, 18^6.
Dear Sir: I have made great use of
your Vegetable Pills in my family for the
last thioe years, and I consider theni the
best medicine in us& I have made con
siaeraoic use ot i'eters' Vegetable Pills,
and many others, but I am convinced that
yours are superior to any of them. For
Sick Head Ache they are an excellent
medicine; for Bowel Complaint I think
them the best medicine 1 ever used. Some
of my neighbors are also using your Pills
with the most decided benefit. In fine, I
candidly confess that I have derived more
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.
