AMONG all the famous medicine for Consump tion, noiie seoms to be meeting with greater 'success, or gaining a higher reputation than that most wonderful article, i WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY. That it, stands at the head of all other remedies, is now universally conceded. It has cured thou sands upon thousands, of all classes, in cases of the most dangerously consumptive character. And physicians of the greatest eminence, throughout '.our whole country, unhesitatingly pronounce it the . JUOST POWERFUL CURATIVE.. of Pulmonary diseases in the whole range of Pharmacy. The sales in the Western States have 'thus far been unparalleled; and the most gratifying proofs of its efficacy have been received from ev ' ry place where it has been used. Thousands of CONSUMPTIVE PATIENTS ; have already tested its exalted virtues, and con fessed its surpassing excellence and amazing ' power. The remarkable success of this Balsam is no doubt owing, in a great measure, to the peco - liarly agreeable and powerful nature of its ingre dients. It is a FINE HERBAL MEDICINE! , Composed chiefly of Wild Cherry Hark and the genuine Iceland Moss (the latter imported ex. ' pressly fur this purpose,) the rare medical virtues . of which are also combined, by a new chemical . process, with the Extract of Tar, thus rendering ' the whole compound the most certain and effica cious ever discovered for I Consumption of the Lungs, Liver Affections, , Asthma,' Bronchitis, And all diseases of the Respirutory Organs. Reader! Be not startled to see this Great Amer ' scan Remedy supplanting every other Balsam before t the public. j And why should it not, . when by it hundreds and ' thousands of cures, in cases heretofore considered "i hopeless, are being performed in all parts of the Certificates of which record volumes in favor of 5 this justly celebrated remedy. . 1 ftVTha genuine Wistar'a Balsam 14 sold in StLouis by PHELPS $ BLAKSLY, General ' Agents.

THE CELEBRATED JEW DAVID'S OR HEBREW PLASTER. A Certain Remedy for all fixed Pains in the SIDE, BACK, CHEST, BOWELS, LOINS, MUSCLES, Rheumatism in all its varied, forms, Nervous Affections, Lung and Liver complaints, Spinal Affections, Female weaknesses, 4-c, S(C. For the above complaints this plaster has no equal. The great celebrity which it has already acquired not only in the old but in the new world, the extra ordinary cures it has performed in tho most ex treme cases of suffering, have acquired for it such a reputvtion, that the proprietor has not (until recently) been able to supply half the demand. The sales throughout every city, town, and vil lage in the United Slates are without a parallel ! ! A circumstance not surprising, when the vast amount of human suffering relieved by its use be considered. In spinal dejects the benefit usually is of the most decided character. In Nervous complaints, nineteen cases out of twenty readily yield to the penetrating stimula combined in this valuable preporation. In Rheumatism either acute or chronic the claims of the Hebrew Plaster have long since been uni versally acknowledged. Those who are laboring under weak backs, no matter from what cause the weakness may have originated, (even if such oerson have been misguided in previous appli cations) in the use of the Hebrew Plaster they will find the affected part suddenly restored to its original soundness. As a supporter in cases of constitutional weak ness it will be found of great advantage. It is particularly recommended to Females who are suffering from sudden weakness, Or general de bility. In short, it embraces all the virtues which the most scientific mind was capable of compound ing from valuable substunces found in the old world, and will be found entirely tree from those objections which are a source of complaint with the numerous j)reaa-piasiers now ociore me pun lie.

' REASON IS LEFT FREE TO COMBAT SATURDAY, A Pit I L 31, I Sir. A ROMANTIC LOVE STOUY. That the course of true love never did run smooth, has been again proved by a circumstance Willi which we were made acquainted a few days aince. For som lime back a widow lady has resided in the upper part of our city, whose quiet and retired manner led her to avoid society al most entirely. She was only known to her neighbors, and by them but slightly. She had no children, was scarce thirty in appearance, and was remarkably good look ing, with a face of the mournful cast, which novelists so often choose for their heroines, and which lends such a charm to tho fea tures of the pensive order. It was known of her that she had been married to a man much older than herself who had died and left her in comfortable circumstances. About two weeks sinco the Lawrenceville omnibus drove up to her door, and she step, ped into the vehicle for the purpose of vis iting the village. There was but one oth er.passenger, a gentleman about the same age with herself. Alfew minutes after the omnibus started, the gentleman made a remark which at tracted the attention of tho lady and throw ing back her veil to answer, enabled the stranger to get a glance of her features. An ejaculation expressive of surprise esca ped him, and a scream from the lady proved that she was startled in no slight degree. Mary!' 'Charles!' and in a moment a scene rarely witnessed off tho stage was performed in the omnibus. The people who had entered the carriage as strangers, were in each other's arms, the lady in tears, the gentleman exhibiting by his voice and car rcsses, the extreme of joy. In two days longer, the widow was no longer a widow, nor the stranger a bache lor. The secret of this sudden chance of cir cumstances is this: Some twelve yeors ago, the two persons whose names we shall give as Mary and Charles, resided in a little town of Wes tern Pennsylvania. The former was the belle of the village, and the latter, some two or three years her senior, was her lover. The match was perfectly satisfactory to the friends of both parties; the young man bearing an excellent character. Before the time fixed for their marriage, however, misfortune came upon the lover, reducing him from comparative aflluence to penury, and, at the instance of her relatives, the en gagement was postponed and finally bro ken. Depressed in spirits by this double misfortune, the youth left his home, no one knew whither. A year or two afterwards, our heroine. still inconsolable for the loss of her lover, attracted the attention of a rich old fellow who resided near this city. He was a bachelor, and had neither chick nor chil dren of his own. Indifferent as to what became of her, the girl suffered her rela tives to dispose of her hand, and she made what was called a successful match in mar rying the rich old bachelor. Three years after her marriage, her husband died, leav ing her every dollar of his estate. Inde pendent now of the world, she determined to spend the remainder of her days single a mourner for the cruel fortune which had so destroyed the happiness of her young love's dream. She removed to this city where she had resided for nearly sev en years, unknowing and unknown living only in the world of a mournful memory, enlivened only by an occasional thought that she might yet meet with her heart's chosen. By a singular coincidence he happened to be in our city whero he had arrived a tew days before from New Orleans, and was paying a visit to the narrison on the day on which she called the omnibus fur the purpose of an excursion in the same neighborhood. They recognised each other in a moment, mutual explanations ensued, ho was still unmarried, and her wildest hopes were realized by her union with the husband of her girlhood's choice. V a have the names of the parlies in this little romance in our possession, and would give them if it were necessary. The bride groom had gone to the South, success had crowned his efforts, and he is by this time on his way with his bride, to his plantation in Louisiana. 1 he history allords mater, ial for half a dozen novels, with a proof that romantic attachments are still extant in this humdrum world of ours. We hope the parties may live to enjoy through long years of happiness, tho reward of their fidelity to their early vows. . , Cincinnati Journal. THE DEAD. How little do we think of the dead. Their bonea lie entombed in all our towns, villages. and neighborhoods. The lands they cultivated, the houses they built, the work of their hands are always before us. We travel the same ned, walk the same path, ait at the same fire side, sleep in the same rooms, ride in the same carnage and dine at the same table, yet seldom remember that those that once occupied those places are gone alas! forever! Strange that the living should so aoon fuiget the dead, when the world is full of the mementoes of their lives Strange that the fleeting cares of life should so soon rush in and Gil tho breast to the exclusion of thoso so near. To day a man stands and weeps over the grave of his departed friends; to morrow he passes that grave with cold in difference. To-day his heart is wrung with all the bitterness of anguish for the loss of one he so much loved; to morrow the immage of that friend is effaced from his heart and is almost lurgotten. What a commentary upon man! A gentleman paid his addresses lo a termagant widow, in a southern city; and it being remarked that he killed a man in a duel, another poreon immediately replied; ''The match will be equal; for the lady has also killed her matt." IT." - 3 EFFEnsoN. Io. 7. AMi 1UCAN1SM IN CANADA. Apart form the war with Mexico, tin subject which deserves the grpntest atten tion of the American oeoDle. is the r.onrf ificin oi uie urman Amenunn colonies. We have rather minutely observed the coutse of events there within the Inst few years, and from what we have seen in thr journals, and heard from persons qualified by knowledge and experience gathered there, to give aa opinion, we are inclined to believe that at no distant day, Uritish rule will cense in America. The moral influence which the institu li' ns and natives of the United Stotes, res ident there, exercise, are. of themselves, sul .1 .1. ,-.; i 1 ficient to effect a change in people's minds. nna snane ineir confidence in monarchial governments; and when to this is added the mixed nature of the population, more espe cially of Lower Canada, the wonder is thai tha spirit of revolution and rebellion ha not found vent before this lime. The following is a table of the population of Lower Canada: Number of Englishmen 11,859 " Ainericuns 11.910 " Irishmen 42.982 " Scotchmen 13.393 " Cnnadiaus (natives) 521,307 Tal C9G.782 Seven eighths of the Ilnolishmen are un doubtedly loyul subjects, and so are, per haps, one half of ihu Scotch. On the other hand, seven eighths of the native Canadians, seven eights ot the Irish, the whole of the Ainericuns, and the remaining two-ei"hths of the English and Scotch, desire a change that would make them entirely independent of the mother country, and perhaps consti tute ihem an integral portion of the United Slates. We thus see that several powerful causes are continually at work, undermining the luunuauon oi criusn power in that part ol the continent. These, witn the increasing demands of the people, and the frequent con cessions that have been made to them for few years p9t, point out a change at no distant day, that will deprive England ol her North American colonies. Public sen timent, then, as a consequence, has under gone a mighty change. Rebellion and an nexaiion lo the United Slates, are spoken of in the public prints, as a panacea lor all me evils that the country endures. These words, so horrible a few years ago, are now familiar to the people. The repeal of the ccrn laws, too, hns had the effect of enstranging many from British authority, whose interest would have in duced them to uphold and respect it. By the repeal of those laws, Canada lost the preference which she enjoyed over the Uni ted Slates. In order, if possible, to counteract the tide of dissatisfaction, and divert it into another channel, the home government have devis ed several schemes, which have had a di rectly contrary effect. Popular Governors have been sent out, but none give satisfac tion unless their principles and line of poli cy are not only liberal, but radically so These Governors form and reform their ca ninets, but it will not do. Neither can act contrary to the popular voice, now so strong and powerful, and abdigato the post that they find they can not occupy. The latest plan devised for promoting loy alty among the North American subjects oi the crown, is to combine the whole of the colonies into one, and have but one Legisla ture, for all, with some member of the roy al family ot the bead. This will probably be tried soon, and we ptedict, that like the measures that preceded it, it will rather in crense than diminish the spread of revolu tion. Time, however, wid tell. A. Y. Herald. " CHIHUAHUA. The mines of Chihuahua, at some pe riods, have produced great quantities of gold nd silver. From IRH to 10J8, the single mine in the district of Jesus Marin, on the range of mountains west of Chihuahua, yielded over $1 1,0110,000 of silver, wilh no small admixture of gold. Those excessive yields (called human zas) are not frequent. The yield in l839-'40, was estimated al about $2,600,000, the falling (iff being nttribuied to the exhorbitant price il quicksilver, which then connnanJod $170 lo $180 per quintal. Quicksilver was iinlispen sabln, because in that region the metals are, for ihe most part, acperated and obtained by tin; process of amalgamation. Tho moials were chiefly exported by the ports of M.izailan and Guaymas on the South Sja and Gulf of Cali fornia, in exchange for English goods. A por tion, however, was sent lo Matainoraa, aud oili er points on the gulf. The departments of Chihuahua have a popu lation of about 150,000, and their annual con sumption of goods ainonn'. to some two or three millions of dollars. The greater part of those goods were received some year since from r-ngland through the porta ot ihe racific, the residue by the Gulf of Mexico, and v:a Santa Fe. The consumption of cotton good is enor. nous, and the fabrics of ihe United Slates have been preferred lo those of English manufacture From Ihe best estimates yet inidn, the distance does not exceed six hundred miles from the ci ty of Chihuahua, to the point at which ihe Red river is touched, about lifty miles above the mouth of the Faux Ouacht'.a. From this point the army under Gen. Woof, has traversed most of the country, and we shall aoon be in possess ion of the best route lo llns portion of Maxico. I his division traversed an unsettled country, generally firm and level: rinding rich pastu rage, interspersed with wood and traversed at intervals with streams of chrystal water. Few travellers had ever preceded them, and Ihey found it the best and shortest route, and made tho whole of it with comparative ease. Their daily stages were generally from one stream to another, and averaged from ten lo fifteen mile a day. I'ennsylvaman. "I'm in . lbs wrong," is said to be the hardest sentence to pronounce in any inuage. Correspondence of the Buffslo Gazette. WAsmsoToa, Feb, 27ih, 1847. Well ! for years past ihe Irish.born citizens )f diis country hnve been told, by the Locofoco par ly, dial the Whigs were the enemies of the Irish men, and that ihey were their peculiar friends. Seventeen days ego, a bill was introduced into the Houso of Representatives by Washington Hunt, of N. York. Almost everv dnv ninno Ink has struggled for ihe floor lo gel the bill taken up and passed, but all was of no avail. I hpi;v a combination was made by the Locofoco party, by which it was ngreed that this bill should not be taken up. The writer of this, feeling great interest in this measure for ihe relief of a tufar, people, went to the Senate, end there got Mr. Crittenden to introduce a similar bill, grnnline 8500,000 for the relief of Ireland, and 8ulhori mg the President to employ the shiDS of war to convey the nation's charily to another nation.

Industry, intelligence, integrity and perseverance will ensure distinction and honesty to its greatness. It is well rennrked that there is mora truth than poetry in this sentiment. The Priming Offn-e, says the New Y'oik Globe, "has indeed proved a better 'College' to many a 'poor boy;' has graduted more use ful and conspicuous members of society ; has brought out more intellect and turned it into practical, useful channels ; has wak ed more mind, generated more active and elevated thought, than many of the litterary colleges of tho country How inanv a drone or dolt has passed through one" of those colleges, with no tangible proof of his fitness to graduate, other than his inani mate piece of parchment, himself, if possi ble, more inanimate lhan his leathern diplo ma. There is something in the verv at mosphere of a printing office, calculated to awake the mind aud inspire a thirst for knowledge. A boy who commences in such a school, will have his talents and ideas brought out, if he have any ; if he has mind to he drawn out, the boy himseif will be driven out."

The population of the British kingdom is nearly 30, 000,000 lint of France reaches 35.000,000 ; bjl the state of agriculture in each is such as lo be unable lo support such a vast mass of hu man existence, without an increasing and per manent supply from the United States. Tell the young men of enterprise, in tho U. Sta'es, tu go to farming. Hereafter, western Europe will perinaneiilly require an increasing supply of breadstuff lor their redundant population. This relative position t.f the two continents wiil tirow the balance of trade, permanently, in fa vor of the United Slates, and ultimately draw to America the great wealth of the old world."
