BREVITY OF LIFE.
BY R. H . WILDE.
My life is like the summer rose,
That opens to the morning sky,
But ere the shade of evening close.
Is scattered on the ground—to die!
Yet on the rose’s humble bed
The sweetest dews are shed,
As if she wept the waste to see—
But none shall weep a tear for me!
My life is like the autumn leaf
That trembles in the moon’s pale ray,
Its hold is frail, its date is brief,
Restless—and soon to pass away !
Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and lade,
The tree will mourn its shade;
The winds bewail the leafless tree,
But none shall breathe a sigh for me !
My life is like the prints, which feet
Have left on Tampa’s desert strand,
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
All trace will vanish from the sand ;
Yet, as if grieving to efface
All vestige of the human race,
On that lone shore loud moans the sea,
But none, alas ! shall mourn for me !
ANSWER TO THE ABOVE.
BY MRS. BttCYLEY.
The dews of night may fall from Heaven,
Upon the withered rose’s bed,
And tears of fond regret be given,
To mourn the virtues of the dead ;
Yet morning’s sun the dews will dry,
And tears will fade from sorrow’s eye.
Affection’s pangs be lulled to sleep,
And even love forget to weep.
The tree may mourn its fallen leaf,
That fades and dies in autumn’s gloom,
And friends may heave the sigh of grief,
O’er those who sleep within the tomb;
Yet soon will Spring renew the flowers,
And time will bring more smiling hours;
In friendship’s heart all grief will die,
And even love forget to sigh.
The sea may on the desert shore
Lament each tree it bears away ;
The lonely heart its grief may pour
O’er cherished friendship’s fast decay;
Yet when all trace is lost and gone,
The waves dance bright and gaily on;
Thus soon affection’s bonds are torn,
And even love forgets to mourn.
Origin of Slander.—Mother Jasper told
me that she heard Greatwood’s wife say
that John Hardstone’s aunt mentioned tc
her, that Mrs. Trusty was present when the
widow Parkman said Captain Hartwell’s
cousin thought Ensign Doolittle's sister be<
iieved, that old Miss Oxly reckoned, tha
Earn Trifle’s better half had told Mrs
Spaulding, that she heard John Brimmer’:
woman say, that her mother told her tha
she heard her grandfather say — that Mrs
Garden had two husbands!
A Printer’s Devil Seduced.—Two la
ies oi Worcester, Mass., were lately indict
ed for seducing a printer’s boy, aged som<
fifteen years, and “effecting his ruin.” Tin
boy worked laleo’night and slept late o’days
Of this circumstance the ladies took advan
tage, and,’entering his room, at length ac
complished their object. This is carrying
leap year prerogatives beyond their we!
defined limits.
The last number of Dickens’ Household
Y\ oids contains a very interesting accoun
ol a Child’s Hospital recently establishec
in London; suggestive to the N. Y. Even
ing Post ot the fact, that in New York th<
largest number of deaths is among the chi!
dren of the poor, and that a hospital for tin
reception ot them when sick would be ;
valuable institution.
Matrimonial Mode of Proving Inxo
cence.—The other day Mrs. Sniffkins, find
ing herself unwell, sent fora doctor am
declared her belief that she was “pisoned,’
and that he (Snifl'kins) “had done it!” “
didn’t do it!” shouted SnifTkins. “It’s al
gammon, she isn’t pison’d. Prove it doc
tor, open her upon the spot—I’m willing.’
A Father’s Advice.—“Jeems, mv lad
keep away from the gals. Yen you see
one cornin’ dodge. Just such a critter a;
that \oung ’un cleanin’ tlie door step or
t’other side of the street, fooled your pooi
dad, Jemmy. If it hadn’t been for her, voi
and yer dad might ha’ been in Calii'orn\
huntin’ di/nuns, my son.”
\TT Miss Dubois says, the first time i
coat sleeve encircled her waist, she felt a:
ii she was in a pavilljon built of rainbows
ttio window-sills of which were composec
of acolian harps.
DC/3 J o know how had you are, yoi
must become poor; to know how had othei
people are you must become rich. Man)
a man thinks it is virtue that keeps hin
from turn ins rascal, when it is only a ful
stomach, lie carelul and not mistake prin
ciples for potatoes.
It is the highest duty, privilege and pleas
ure for the great men and the wholesoulec
women to earn what they possess, to worl
their own way through life, to be the arch
itects ot their own fortune.
DCP Mr. Ritchie, city missionary, of Rox
bury, Mass., in a late report, speaking of in
temperance says that very often the use o
alcoholic liquors is the result rather than th
cause of poverty'
California Fortunes.—It is calculate
that out of every hundred persons who hav
gone to California, fifty have been ruinec
forty no better than they would have bee
had they remained at home, five a little bet
ter, four something better still, and one ha
made a fortune.,
It is said that the amount of cotton re

.1. BURROWS’
Patent Plantation Corn Mill,
rmilS Mill differs from all others in the construction
J of the Upper or Runner Stone, which is composed
of French Burr Blochs, enclosed in a Cast Iron Case,
that forms the hack and hoop of the Stone, with a Cast
Iron Eve, or Bush, that is of greater external diameter
at the bottom than at the top; this is secured to the back
by four bolts, so that every block is in the form of dove
tail. This gives greater strength to a Stone than any
other method which is required in small mills, where
the Stone is run with great speed, and becomes danger
ous if not strongly made. It also gives any weight to
a Stone of small diameter that is required, without hav
ing it thick or high, which makes it top-heavy.
This mill is a square frame made of wood or cast
iron, in the form ot a husk, with Bridge tree, Spindle,
Balance, Rine, Driver,^ and Regulating Screw, and
grinds upon the same principle ns a large, mill, differing
only in the Runner-Stone; this being of great weight,
enables it to grind, more of grain with less power than
any other mill; is portable and may be attached to Steam,
Water, Horse or Hand power.
Jos. 11. Burrows, of Cincinnati, is the inventor, for
which he obtained Letters Patent it' IS 12. f or a!l in
fringements, the purchaser will be neld responsible for
the right of using.
These Mills do not require a mill-wright to set them
up; and all that is necessary to put them in operation,
is to attach a band to the pulley on tint Spindle, with a
drum sufficiently large to run the 2i inch Mill 210 re
volutionsjn r minute, attached to Gin, Water, or Ste»>»
| Power. tfv the steadv applicatian or iwo-hor^, j,u,v_
er, the Mill'will grind six or eight bushels per hour, of
good meal; and will grind Wheat as well as Corn.—
The 30 inch mill, if put to its fullest speed, will grind
from 10 to 15 bushels per hour.
These mills arc warranted to be in every respect asj
represented.
Having been appointed sole agents for the sale of the
above Mdls, in this section of country, we will keep
constantly on hand the different siz s, and will furnish
planters upon as reasonable terms as can be had in Cin
cinnati or New Orleans.

[From the “Boston Bee.”]
The editor said, Dev 22d—
“Di\ HoofhmFs Celebrated German Bit
f'Po f„r the cure o jutter Corn) 'mitt, Jaundice, Dyspep.
sia, Chronic or Nervious Debility, is deservedly one of
the most popular medicines of the day, ' hese Bitters
have been used by thousands, and a friend at our elbow
says he has himself received an effectual and permanent
cure of Liver Complaint from the use of this remedy.
We are convinced that, in the use of these Bitters, the
patient constantly gains strength and vigor—a fact
worthy of great consideration. They are pleasant in
taste and smell, and can be used by persons with the
most delicate stomachs with safety, under any circum
stances. We arc speaking from experience, and to the
afflicted we advise their use.”
“Scott’s \V keki.y,” one of the best Literary papers
published, said, Aug. 25—
“DR. HOOFLaND’S GERMAN BITTERS,
manufactured by Dr. Jaehson, are now recommended
by some of the most prominent members of the facul
ty as an article of much efficacy in eases of female
weakness. As such is the case, we would advise ali
mothers to obtain a bottle, and thus save themselves
much sickness. Persons of debilitated constitutions
w ill find these Bitters advantageous to their health, ns
we know- from experience the salutary effect they havo
upon weak systems.”
JvntsE M M. Noah, a gentleman with great scientif
ic and literary attainments, said in his “New Yum
Wi RKt.Y Messenger” January l>, 1850.
“Dr. Hoofi.and’s German Bitters.—Here is a pre
paration which the leading presses in the Union appear
to be unanimous in recommending, and the reason is
obvious. 1 is made after a prescription furnished by
oneot the most celebrated physicians of modern times
the late Dr. Christopher Wilhelm Hoofland, Proff-;
to the U Diversity of Jen. i. Prt vale Physician to the Kin°
ot Frussia and one of tin greatest medical writers
Germ tiny has ev :r produced, lie was emphatically the
enemy oi humbug, and therefore a niidicine of which
he was the inventor and endorser maybe confidently
relied on. He specially commended it in Liver Com
plaint, Dyspep ia, De ility, Vertigo, Acidity of the
Stomach,Coi.stipr.’ion, and all complaints arising from
a disordered coml don of the stomach, the Liver and
the intestines. Nine Philadelphia papers express their
conviction of its effects from their own individual exper
b nee. Under these circumstances, we feel warranted,
not only in calling the attention of our readers to the
present proprietor’s (Dr. O..M. Jackson’s) preparation,
but in recommend ins; the art icle to all afflicted.”
MORE EVIDENCE.
The Fhu.i.adei.phia Saturday Gazette,” the best
family new spaper puolised in the United States, the ed
itor says of
Dlt. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS.
“I: is seldom that we recommend what tire termed
Ptttent Medicines to the confidence and patronage o(
our readers; and therefore, when we rec rnmend Dr.
Iloofland’s German Bitters, we wish it to be distinctly
understood that \v■ art not speaking of the nostrums oj
the day, that are noised about for u brief period and
then forgotten after they have run their guilty race of
mischief, but of a medicine long i stablished, universal
y prized ai d which has met the hearty approval of the
Faculty itself.”
Evidence upon evidence has been received (like the
foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the last three
years, and the strongest testimony in its favor, is, that
there is more ot it used in the practice of the regular
Physicians of ! hilade'ph.a than till other nostrumscom
bined, a fact that can easily be established, and full’,'
prov ing i hat a scientific preparation will meet with their
quiet approval when presented even in this form.

Dyspepsia, no one can doubt, alter using it as directed,
It acts 'ifi.-nlly upon the stomach and liver—it is pre
