ON I'HE DEATH OF WILLIAM SIMONS,
BY MES, O K, WILLIAMS
If natiare suffors when the poet dies,
And aonrafiul sonn 1< lot o’er the briney deep,
And through the drooping trees are heard the -u‘u
OF whispering spirits, who, like mortuls, weep ;
Well may they now, where he, the lost one shbe s,
Who, though no poet, Was great wature’s ehld,
Alive to all her heauties, tasting sweets
Which noue hat those who study her, can find.
In mind snd manners, too, disdaining art,
With heart still uncorrupt by falsehood’s taint,
Nobly ambitions, he performod his part,
Stern i uprightness, nor in duty faint,
Mild and forgiv ng, though abhorring vice,
He trod lite's thorny road without o foe ;
Nor was there one, but what at any price,
His arm had raised to stay the last dread blow.,
But ah ! it must not be, his race had ran,
His wotk was o' r, and his reward was nigh,
The brittle thread was snapped, and his hfe's sun
Went down at noon, thouzh not inghrously,
For fair and brillinnt glogined that setting sun,
Shedding o'er all the past, its hallowed rays,
And though 1o mny, hie seemad just begun,
In wisdom®s path it was a length of days.
While Autumn winds are sighing through the groves,
And fading leaves up n the earth are strewn,
And natare putting on her funereal rohes
In seeming sympathy with these who mourn—
Shall she, whose pen oft inoved at his command,
The wretched to hefriend, the good to praise
To speak of blessings in our favored land
Or sing the victories of these glorions days—
Shall she forbid to mourn with thoge who mourn,
In silent symoatihy compelied to weep,
Wiihhold the meed of praise to one well known,
Though now forever laid in death’s cold sleep ?
No, let us mingle tears for him who lies
Beneath the turf now mouldering on his breast,
Übtil th* Archange!l’s trump ealls us to rise
And join him i the mansions of the blest,
DEMOCRATIC ODE.
Uy, Faeemes, vr ! and bear on high
The floating flag of Liberty ;
Give to the breezoe its silken fold
An eagle crest of burning gold,
Flazhing in the heaven-horn light
That streams from Preedom’s mountain height
Ur, Prepmes, vr ! awake, and save
The bload-bonght rights your father’s gave ;
Burst through the chains oppression’s hiand
Would rivet on your native lan 1,
And shield your country’s spotie=s fame
From deep and everlasting shume.
Up, Fregmes, vr ! the beaoon light
From every crag streams clear aud bright,
From every plain and every hill
The trampet’s blast rings free and shrill,
Wihile echoing notes responsive speak
Prom eve.y crested mountain peak.
Ur, FreeMmex, vr! close up vour ranks
Aul hike a torrent burst its banks !
Press on, 10 serried, stern arrav
With hearts on fire to join the fray ;
Your battle ery, loud, wild and tree,
Cass Burigr axp DeMocracy !
SMiscellancous.

‘I that be true. 1 am delighted to plead

*Are women then so false 1
‘Yes, fair mask, you can't deny that they
are guilty, but the Iyrany of us men is the

would take the place of the compliments, the

The Asthma can be Cured !
THE ONLY 1 dKDY !
l) R. PETER H., LEE has discovered a remedy that will
certmnly and etfectundly cuve the ¥pasmodic Asthina,
as has been demonsteated in bondreds of intances beyond
all doubt, He asks the attent on of the atlicted to the tol
lowing letter from Rev. LD Withimmson, who s well
known throughont the United SVtales e
Editor of the Star—lt 15 known to some of your readers
and many ciomy foends, that L ioave recently found a cure
for Asthin, with which I hove cuilbred severely for many
years, Daring my recent viat to the sty wany anxious
inquiries were made as to the oans of a cure which ap
pears astonishing,
Tosave tither inquiries, and also to put others in the
Wiy of procuring a bKe reief, attow me to say, that 1 pro
curcd a prescription trom De. Peter H Leeg to wiieh alone
Lattuibute o cure T have evory reason o believe perfect
and radical. 1 have indeed no <y mptow or feeling of Asth
ma lelt,
Through a long period of 10 ccn yeurs | have suffered
mueh-teicd varions medicine -, aud been aequainted with
hundeed s of cases and L am well satictied that Dr, Lee’s is
the ouly prescription that ean be colied upon, Gratitude
to hiin for the unmeu-m";hh- relict e has hrought me, and
a desive to corve the sutfering, have alone iduaced me to
make ths publie statement, wihoon Fdo in the utmost con
fidence that those who follow 1y adviece wil) not he disap
pointed, LoD, WILLIAMSON
Cineinnatiy Oct, 10, 1847,
Fiacdetter sent Rev, Mr. Drew s of Augnsta, Me., he says :
I have not taken a haif bortle, and am well, and have
no fears of Asthma againg tncaach ws D have tor the last
two months been exposed to a'l sorisof weather, and am
froe from that complaint which has made me a sutferer
through long dreary years,” .
Dr. Lee beneves trombns know led ze of the medicine and
its effects, that the five eas<es will be permasently eured,
ifthe use ot it s contimed
Now let the reader exunine the impartial statement of
Rev, Wi AL Drew, editorof the Gospel Banner, of Angus
tn, Maine, and he will be in possession of wetual exerl
ments, He says =
SAhe editor of the Banner i< no friend of humbuggery ;
and would not consent to reeeive any of this medicine on
sade until e had, by means of several hottles forwarded
through him ascertained to o< own satistaction, that it I,
on the whole, a good medicme, He did not require that it
should eure every body, for sach a pretension would be
huambuggery ;s no medeine will enre in every case ; hut il
he shoubd ascertain that it accomplishied the object inu
majorily of cises, he meant to consider the fact as enough
to estabbiah for it w good claim to general confidence. e
has ascertivned that in fifteen ont of seventeen cases it has
given relief that in ten of that number it appears to have
effected & cure s and that, in the other twocases, noeflocts
good or bad have been perceved from its use, Justice,
however, requires ns to <.y, that these cases were quite
liopeless ones, which it wis not really expected any medi
cie conld reach.”
To this might be added hundreds of similar testimonies ;
but the following from the editor of the Starin the West,
who is personally acqoainted with Dr, Lee, and knows of
the suces<s of hus medicine, 15 worthy of notice ;
Tue Avivva Mevicrse—Persons frequently write us
letters of vqairy about this medicine, to know if it is really
what it ebums to e, We cananly #ay that the certificates
in the Star are aresvisg—to which might be added many
ore of @ sunilar character, Onrown opinion is, that it
will permanently cure atle st eight ont of every ten who
are troubled wath the spasmodie a<thmn, It is certainly a
very remarkable medicine, althonzh we know nothing of
the ingredicnts of which it 1= composed, 1t 15 the first
medicine, we believe, ever mde known that will cure
the spasmodic asthma of long standing, A physician of
this ity said to the maker of the medicine a few duys ngo
STI e what the medicine is made of and 1 will give
you a hundred dollars ! 1t has cured an old gentleman, o
patient of mine, who has 00l the asthia these twenty
years!” He will mnl{ add =ome
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS,
Unlike quack medicines, it elvimns to cure but one disense ;
and there can be no deception when a case of asthma is
cured, T'he complaint is of that nature, as all know who
have it that it cannot be chiavned away by faith or other
wise. A with o cough iy suppose he has the con
sumption, tike medicine, and covwell Perhinps he would
have recovered without it—but the medicine gets the cred
it Uhe siame is trae of pateat pills and other nostrums
which claim to cure whmost ol disenses, Not so with the
asthima, legenerndly tollows a wian all his lifo—and if he
therefore gots well after taking a certain medicine, he
kavws that cured him. He cannot be deceived, and no
remedy hus ever been discovered except Dr. Lee’s that
will care t,
Po prevent imposition and connterfeits he designs to
confine the =ale of it to a few responsible agents, He pre
fers that it shall become Kuown more by its success, l‘mu
by extensive advertising,
AIY orders forthe medicine, wholesale, should be directed

OPTICIANS,
wfll'l,l) respectfully wnform the citizens of Prov.dence
and vielnity that they have opened a braneh of their
Optical e-tablishment \l"'r the exclusive sale of their far
famed Parabola Spectacles )at No. 1 We tiinster street,
(Howard’s building,) und they would respeetfully invite
all those who have to resor to artificial aid for impaired
vision, to eall and test the quality of the above named Spec
tacles, (whether they parchinse or not,) us ml{u-led by the
Optometer. This mstrament was invented by John P,
Paine, for the purpose of adjusting the Lenses nllhe Spec
tacles, so as to meet any detect of the eye, whether it pro
ceed from distorted or unequalized vision caturact, or in
fact almost any cause but absolute blindness,
We claim for those glasses the following properties, viz :
Ist. A clearness and finish not to be u|r|msnm* orequalled
by any Lenses of foreign or domestie mannfacture,
2l They canbe worn for any length of time, when fitted
by the Optometer, without fatiguing the eye or vecasion
ing the shightest inconvenience.
dd. They preserve the sight and in many eases restore it.
All those gualities we elaim for our Spectacles, and we
respectfully invite those who doubt, and all others to eall
Ol s amd satisfy themselves by o personal examination.
The annexed paragraph is the opinion of 1, V, ', Bmith,
M, the colebrated Lecturer on Optics and the Eye. He
say s, throuel the columns of his Medical Journal
“The cditor has lesurely examined Mr. Paine’s inven
ton, and without hesitation, we express our belief that it
I not only o very ingenions, hut a very useful instrument,
and is destined for an extensive repiution, when fer
brought betore the public, * . . Every Opti
cian e our darge cities would find his account in having

C o There s one wanutaeurer, iow ever, whcseimstrume nt
take precedence of all other S withso unquestiouable a pre
eminence, that the committee telt not the =hghtest hesita
tion in recommending the sward to him of a gold medal
and this they did on two gr unds, not only for the decided
supericrity of his souare Pianos, but {§ the uneommon
merit of Ins grand Pianos, which it is Ho exaggeration to
sny may be fearlessly placed in e mpetition with the hest
that Europe can produee, Mr, Chicker ng's Pianos of both
Kinds nre of so detighttul ot ney so delicate oetion, and s
firtn and enduring constinct n, that they necd no medals
to give them celebrty ; and it might seem supertlucus to
give enconragement to one who has alre wly receved the
highest commendations, But the commitice Were appoint
ed not simply to give enconragement 1 nuy persons, but to
decide accord'ng to their ablity upon the relative rank ot
the instinments presented to them, and it would be noth
ing short of glaring injustice to lay aside the elams of the
instruments acknowledged to be the best, because the mak
er of them had always produced the best. Ro mueek the
more does he deserve the highest rewnrd for Liis skilt, en
terprise and idustry, especinlly when he 5 secn to peon
dihigently and steadily in the course of nmprovement, and
his competitors find, as they arrive at one pont where he
has long stocd betore them, that he has reached anotheryet,
and that without mueh more than conmon speed, they
cannot overtake one who unites with all their : whition, a
perseverance which may be egualled but not surpassed,
Mr. Clichering®s munufucture is all bonor to the commmni
