The following beautiful and affecting "Re
quiem," says the Georgia Constitutionalist, we
extract from the Philadelphia Gazette. It is
probably the production of the editor, Willis
Gtttylord Clark, who lately lost his kind-hearted,
lovely, and accomplished lady:
Remembrance, faithful to her«trust,
Calls thee in beauty from the dust
Thou oomest to the morning light—
Thou'rt with me through the gloomy night
In dreams I meet the as of old,
Then tliy soft arms and neck enfold,
And thy sweet voice i9 in my ear
scene to memory dear
I see the still!
I see the still!
In every hallowed token round
This little ring thy finger bound—
This lock of hair thy forehead shaded,
This silken chain by thes was braided
These flowers, all withered now like thee
Beloved, thou didst cull for nie:
This book was thine—hero didst thou read—
This picture, ah yes here indeed
I see thee still I
I see thee still!
Here, on this pillow, thou didst .die!
Dark hour! once more its woes unfold
As then I saw thee pale and cold,
I see thee still!
I see thee still!
Thou art not in the tomb confined,
Death cannot claim the immortal mind.
Let earth close o'er its sacred trust,
Yet goodness dies not in the dust,
Thee, oh beloved, 'tis not thee,
Beneath the coffin's lid I see,
Thou to a fairer land art gone—•
There let me hope, my journey done,

ver fared so well in his life—but asked too
no questions. The wife wanted nothing
but time to go a shopping in. Women
are always better subtreasurers than men
and the money she managed to abstract,

daily fare, would have astonished anyone

At the week's end there was something

"Oh no, not at present. This can be re

style is settled." "You told me last week
you must have some new frocks." "I
know I thought so—and have made some
purchases this week—but my wardrobe
is on the whole quite respectable, and I
am sure I an manage." "So you have
learnt to manage have you—but I don't
want this money." "What shall I do
with it then?" "Oh there are rent, fuel,
clothing for children, servants' wages and
other matters all coming due in their sea

Eyi:.—A good story was
related to us today by a member of the
bar, who was counsel for one of the par
ties. A short time since, Capt II. sailed
from the U. States on a foreign voyage,
with a black crew, and some days before
his arrival at Liverpool chastised one of
them, for disobedience, somewhat severe
ly. The man, however, resumed his
duty, and continued to perform it until
they arrived at Liverpool, apparently un
injured—an able bodied and uncomplain
ing man but at Liverpool he deserted,
and the Captain heard no more of him
until his arrival at Boston, long after the
whole aiFair had escaped from his memo
ry. A professional letter from Court st.
announced to him the existence of a claim
against him for damages.
Inquiry connected the claim with the
above facts, and informed Capt. H. for
the first time that he had deprived his
man of one of his eyes, and Jack stood
there, sure enough, shorn of one of his

iusifous orbs—a living attestation to the to one of her keepers and said,

your
Liie Pills" have performed a cure that
no other medicine 1 know of could have cH'cu
ted. It is as fellows :—About the lasL-ol Jun.
ult. I was poisoned by the iiowers of ".Kulmia
an
^plication applied to the top of my head,
which 1 am convinced contained the "Kulmia."
In both cases a violent nervous prostration was
the consequence. The latter case was excecd
ingly violent and of long cuntinuance. It seem
ed at times that my nervous system was entire
ly prostrated—so much so that was incapable
of any active exertion for some two or three
weeks. These symptoms 1 am satisfied could
have been produced by nothing else but the
above named poison. My appetite and health
in all other respects were usually good.
Three doses of your "Life Pills" have restor
ed me to full health and vigor For two weeks
before taking them i could neither sing, read
loud, walk last, or use any kind of exertion
now 1 can sing by the hour, read at the top of
my voice for a day, and I was going to say run
a mile no exertion has the slightest unpleas
ant ell'ect. 1 consider your "Life Pills," the
best medicine of which 1 have any knowledge,
and 1 would not be deprived of them for any
consideration. Yours truly, ROBERT SMITU.

To Mr. J. MOFFAT.—Dear Sir: Above you
will find a certificate from the Rev. Robert
Letter from the Hon EDWARD WEBBER, of
Rumncy, N. Hampshire, to ANTHONV S. JONKS
of Newburyport, one of MA. MOFJATT'S A
gents. Runiney, Ftbruary 9, 1637.
SIR—You may probably recollect having
seen me at your store on the 1st of July last,
v. hen I was in very poor health, and purchased
three boxes of the Vegetable Life Pills, pre- I
pared by DR. MOFFATT, of New York. 1 have
now the pleasure to sajT, that they have given
great satisfaction in my family, and in several
cases in which 1 have le tmy neighbors have
them they have had a better effect than any
other medicine they ever tried. My own health
is greatly improved, and 1 have no doubt, with
tho Divine Blessing, those pills have contribu
ted very much to my comfort. I wish you
therefore to send me some more, for which I
enclose you the money but be particular and
send me none but the GENUINE. I have expe
rienced so much benefit from them, that I think
it m- duty to introduce them into general use
here, as the best service I can render to
my fel
low citizcns.
With sincerity and respect, Your's, &c.,
EDWARD WEBBER

MR. MOFFATT—Sir: It is now thirteen yearn

depression. CaiharZics being necessary
have consulted good physicians, and have tri
ed almost all the kinds of pills advertised which
seemed suited to my case, in vain. During the
last year, I have bought and used several box

benefit from them more relief and adaptedness
