"It is a sad thing to think that
we must die away from our home.

and the gales are iilled with balm,

very icicles clinging to his own
caves, and the snow beating
against his own windows, would
be far more pleasing to his eyes,
than the bloom and verdure which
only more forcibly remind him how
far lie is from that spot which is
dearer to him than all the world
besides. He inav iiulnod find
timable friends who will do all in
their power to promote his comfort
and assuage his pains ; hut they
cannot supply the place of the
long known and mute language of
his face ; they have not learned to
communicate without hesitation,
his wishes, impressions an!
thoughts to them. He feels that,
he is a stranger, and a more deso

in the gravest Legislative assemblies.
One of our exchanges tells
\jl a. lixu^iiuiut: lijciticnL iricii transpired
during the late session of the
New Hampshire Legislature.
A new fledged orator rose to make
his maiden speech in the House of'
Representatives. A bill had been
brought into tax bank dividends.
and watching his opportunity, the
?- ---1.1
ueuuiam iiuuresse:! trie members:
?"Mr. Spteaker, the gentleman
from Dover, v\ho introduced this
bill, does not seem to be aware of
its inevitable results. Ho would
strip the widow?" (roars of laughter,
and crics of?the widow ??
widow who ??not in this public
hall. I hope, &c.)
As soon as the tumult subsided
in some degree, and the orator
could make himself heard, he indignantly
proceeded?" Gentlemen
need not think Jo put me down by
clamor. Is there no sympathy
here for the widow and the orphan/?
I .say, sir, that this is
worst; I hatt si ripping, i'ut on this i
lax and I say you drive I he widow
to her /(/si shift."
Here t he clamor became so
ireal. that ihe speaker. despairing
of a hearing, resumed his seat.
It. was almost ten minutes before
the house could transact its regular
busitn ss.

Among all the advertised remedies of the
day for ague and Fever, or Chill and li'ever,
none seem to meet with such rapidity
of sale and {jive so much general satisfaction,
as Dr Hull's celebrated Pills. Wherever
they have been introduced, all tonics
in whatever shape, all mixtures and Pills
and preparations of every character, designed
fortius disease, have been discarded,
and Dr. Hull's Ague Pills have been
received as the only permanent cure.
They stop the Chills and Fever the first
day, and do not sicken the stomach or operate
on the bowels. Young children and

Chills, with only half a box, after two physicians
iiad exhausted all their skill.
Ma Lewis Covin, of Abbeville D13. S.

Pills, and never knew them to fail curing
the chills and fever in a single instance.
Mr Win S Mills, of Abbeville Dis, S.
C., certifies that his wife was cured of an
obstinate case of chills and fever of twelve
months standing with only hull a box of
Hull's Pills ; and also says his little
daughter was cured of the chills and fever
of 6 months standing with the remainder
of the same box.
