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 United States a Mediator.?
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.

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.

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.

Congress has authorized the organization

from him to stimulate the hearts of his
countrymen. Our gallant army on the
Rio Grande, embarrassed for a time by
superior number and the craft of the enemy,
have signally vindicated the honor
of the country and the reputation of our
arms, by recent victories, which rank
with the highfest achievements of modern
times. 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 .

" Having examined, with some core, a
scries ol School Books, lately published by

it affords me pleasure to state, that the
Readers* appear to me well adapted to the
purpose for which they are designed. 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. Dr Ru~
schenberger has imposed a new duty upon
every intelligent and faithful teacher of
youth at once to make himself acquaited
with, and communicate to his pupils, the
interesting subjects of which these manuais
treat. HENRY M. BRUNS,

L)r. Spencer's Vegetable Pills,
and Vegetable Tonic and Restorative 1
BITTERS.
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.
