THE BLIND GIRL.
Dankxess where'er I go !
Nor earth, nor sky, nor blessed light for me—
But s deep yearning woe
For the bright things | never more may see,
But which, hike lovely phantoms, still remain,
Haunting the veiled chambers of my bratn,
And, when kind words are sposken
Like holy breathings from a world unsecn,
My heart 15 well nigh hroken,
To think it can only darkly dream,
What form may wear the sweet toned instrument
Where Love hath all his gentiest music blent !
Yet memory still is mine,
And what lost treasure it gives back agin;
My girthood’s happy time—
I'he forms and faces so familiar then
And, shining like a star through my dark night,
fsjone, whe was as dear to nie as sight,
It is before me now,
Wearing the looks [ loved so to behold ;
T'he same calm thoughttul brow,
And loving smile that ne'er for me was cold ;
"T'is mid my desert a fro<h lovely spot,
And one which even blindness withers not,
But oh ! to feel how vain
The hope which eame around ns like sweet flowers !
It almost sears my brain,
T'o think throngh life such will no more he ours ;
Yet ts it but the wreck of earth’s frail bark !
Father of Light ! let not my souvr be dark !
THE BEAUTIFUL LAND.
BY THOMAS MACKELLAR.
There is a land immortal,
The beautiful of lands;
Beside the ancient portul
A sentry grimly stands ;
He ean only undo it,
And open wide the door,
And wortals who pass throngh it
Are mortals never more !
That glorious land is Heaven,
And Death the sentry grim
The Lord therefore has given
The opening keys to hiu.,
The ransomed spirits sighing
And sorrowtul for sin,
Pass thruu?a that gate in dying,
And freely enter in,
Though dark and drear the passage
That leadeth to the gite,
Yet grace comes with the message,
To souls that watch and wat,
Aund at the time appointed,
A messenger comes down,
And leads the Lord’s annointed,
From the cross to glory’s crown.
Their sighs are lost in singing,
They are blessed in their tears;
Their journey heavenward winging,
They leave to earth their fears,
Death like an angel seemeth :
“We welcome thee ! thy cry—
Their face with glory beamcth,
*l'is life for them to die,

The Sisterhood of the Green Veil,
MY GEORGE LIPPARD,
To me there is a world of meaning in a
Green Veil. 1t is not worn by the flaunting
courtezan in her paint aud feathers, nor does
it turn aside the wind and sun from the face
of the popular actress or idohzed opera-singer,
Your fashionable lady would as soon be seen
riding in an omnibus with a battered sixpence
between her fingers, as to be seen anywhere
under the shelter of a green veil. And who
then is it tha wears the green veil!
That patient and geatle Sisterhood, whose
order of worship has but one word for its lit
any=—"Toil! Tail! Toil l=whose Convent is
a Factory—whose way of life is darker and
drearier than that of any Nun in the most se
vere of Catholiec Convents. T'he Sisterhood
of the Green Veil is a numerous and patient
race. T'he world-fagged darling of some rich
merchant or democratic aristocrat, may one
bright morning after the ball is over, assume
the White Veil, amid all the pomp of the
mass, the chaunt of the choristers, and glitter
of jewelled cross and golden banner. Butthe
Green Veil! ltisassumed by thousands who
go sadly along the deserted streetsin the dim
pess of :he winter daybreak, who eat their
hard crust in silence, who sit patiently down
to the loom or the work bench, and when
twelve long and weary hours of toil are over,
creep home—to that home which has never
been to them—a mome. The Gieen Ve,
plain, unpretenaing and plebeian in appear
apce, suits well with the tarnished dress and
faded bonnet of the poor girl, who belongs to
the Sisterhood. It speans of no style, tells us
nothing of the gaudy bail-rooms or nights
spent in virtuous dissipation ; but walting
aside to the impulse of the wind, it discloses
the wan and faded face, which under less
harsh nourishmeunt than the food and shelter
afforded by toil, might Lave becn red with
bhealth and wreathing with beaming smiles.
And then the full dark eye, faded with want
and penury, or the mild blue eye, subdued to
an expression of quiet and uncomplaining en
durance, or the brown eye, robbed of its glan
ces, as the face is of its youth. Ah—=ha'!—
a sigh for the fate of this gentle Sisterhood
coupled with a laugh at the mock benevolence
which sends Bibles and money to the ends of
the earth, while virtuous womankind wears off
her finger-nails with hopeless toil at home—
ah—ha!
T'his is not funny, says some mustachioed
reader, whose life has bat the three incidents,
the dinner, the opera and the night of dissipa
tion. We expected fun, says the fashionable
lady in her silks and smiles, we expected fun,
and you give us a funeral eulogy.
You are right. We cagless ourselves
wrong. But step this way. Come to this
broad window of the Astor House, and let us
look out upon the deserted or almost deserted
streets. The day is breaking over the Park,
and the fountain, like Time, showers forever
its drops like the ticking of a watch. Come,
fine lady, come, fine gentieman, we will give
you fun.
Yousce that girl crossiog Broadway? That
girl in the dingy plaid shawl, the tarnished
calico dress, the straw bonnet? Her face is
shrouded by the Green Veil. Through slosh,
sod mud aud suow, she picks her way at this
carly hour of the winter morning. Look at
her well. Mark the hurried walk, the down
cast head, the fingers clutching the shawl as
the wind comes howling over the Park.
Well, what of this girl? Why, fine lady,
and fine gentleman, (looking from the window
of the Astor House,) 1 wish to tell you a se
cret. [t is funny—quite funny. Gop made
that woman, with the same thoughts, the same
hopes, the same impulses that were given to
you, fine lady. Younr life is the party, the
dioner, the ball, the revel, and the bed of
down. Hers is the crust of bread, the pallet
of straw, and the toil in the morning, the roil
at noon, the toil in the afternoon, and too of
ten the toil in the night. You were once
youog and beautiful. So was this girl. Dis
sipation and rouge have faded your cheeks—
toil, the hard crust, and blight of poverty have
faded hers.
Do tell me, is it not funny, that this poor,
working girl, should esteem the hard crusi
and the lfe of toil, as worthier with the glory
of virtue, than all the luxury of silks, satins
and beds of down, when destitute of that glory.
And the same God made you beth, and the
same Providence watches over you, and down
to one grave and 1o one banquet of the worm
you must go; you, the fine lady, and vou,
the sister of the gmechuod of the Green Veil !
This is all very funny, and the fine lady
laughs. [a, ha, ba, ha! And yet, sweet
woman, in your silks and satiug, (or you, and
such os you, fifty thousand wowmen, in faded
gowns and greer veils, labor in this New-
York, from morning till night, summer and
winter, the whole yearround. Fifty thousand
women, who with the blessing of a better state
of locielg. might each haveicen a good wife
and child-hallowed mother, are your slaves,
and the elaves of such as you!
Who made the dress which shields your
limbs fram cold? Who the bonoet which
gives nddiuonl"nco o your lovely counte
nance! Who folded the sheets of the angual
which lay on your centre table?! Who em.
broidered the slipper on your pretty font 1
Numne one article of dress or oveitem of adorn
meut which does not owe its origin 1o the
Ssterhood of the Green Veil!
| +Oh, gentle and patient Sisterhood, with ge
nius and beanty locked up with your ExpUR
ING FIF LY THoUsAND, why not cast ol your
shackles, and take the society a 8 it is ! [low
many sweet opera singers might be gleaned
from your ranks I Llow many gifted poets?
Now many idolized lady authorsand lady ac
tors 1 And can you prefer the quictude of
virtue and toil, to the blaze of the world’s
idolatry and the luxury ot fine clothing, days
passed in one whirl of pleasure followed by
'the bed of down!
I Ihe eye of an angel ever looks (orth from
Heaven, softened by a tear, itis whenits glance
rests upon one of this quiet stmhmul,vu;..lly
picking her way through the strects in the
daybreak of a winter morning, on her path to
that toil which hs no end, no hope while her
wan face is shrouded by a green veil,
[ once heard a story of a sister of the Sis
terhood of the Green Veil, which may bring
tears to your eyes. [ will tell it pliinly and
wildly as it was told to me. One night, (our
persons were grouped around a table, by the
light of a flickering tallow candle, and among
the damps and shadows of a subterranean den,
which had snnken far below the smooth nght
angled streets of the Quaker City, even be
low the kennels and huts of Baker-sticet, It
was, in a word, one of those wretched haunts
where the Liepers of that great ity congregate
on the eold winter’s night after a day spent in
beggary, starvation and erime. T'hrceof those
persons were boys in years, but with the stumnp
of precocious erime upon their fuces, and the
dull apathy of want in their blessed eyes.—
Oane had been in prison=—the other had stain
ed his hands in human blood—the third was
simply « pauper, and they simply addressed
each other by the names of *Number Ten,’
‘Red Brand,” and *Rags.’ T'he man with
whom they conversed, was remarkable for his
fine and muscular form, clad ina dashing dress,
sparkling with jewelry ;—he was tll, dark
bearded and dark haired, and with something
of a sailor in his very look and gesture. He
was known by the name of ‘Black Loarry.'=—
I'he story goes on to tell us, that these four,
all bovs in years, and yet old in the world’s
ways, and venerable in all its crimes, were the
children of poor men who had been in the ser
vice of Stephen Girmd, In that service they
died, and the good old mau’ gave their orphans
an assurance, written on paper too, that they
should be the first to be provided for, in his
contemplated College of the Poor. He died
—the city eorporation squandered his money
by millions—thirteen years rolled away—the
orphans cast upon the world, without home or
education, and, here they are before us
Three of them paupers, and conviets; the
fourth, doshing in his dress and manner, a ri-
RATE, or at least a Captain of a slave-ship,
fitted out ata Philadelphia wharf, by arespec
table house, and sentto Africa to trade in flesh
and blood. Black Larry has returned to the
city, to arrange matters foranother cruise 5 in
the course of his rambles among the foul dens,
hidden under that city’s broad-brimmmed hat,
fie has hit upon the three wretches, and rec
“gnizes them as the orphan comrades of lis
boyheod. From their rags they each bring
forth a paper, signed with the name of Ste
phen Girard, and commending these orphans
to the tender mercies of the Directors of his
Coliege when it was built. Dlack Liarry pro
duces a similar paper; at once a kiod of rude
brotherhood springs upbetween the well dress
ed Pirate and the ragged outcasts. They
drink together, and dnnk of the foul poison
sold by the proprietor of the den, and Larry
speaks of an Orphan Sister, whom he had not
seen but once sinee since they were little chil
dren together. *T'wo years ago, looking in
the window of a store in Second street, 1 saw
her—kuew her—but dired not speak to her—
for she'd ask me where my money came from,
and 1 dare not tell that 1 was doing a devil's
work for devil's wages! Where isshe now !’
Lowry, even in this low debanch, remembers
his last sight of her beantitul fuce ;3 the mem
ory of that sister is the holy thing, in his de
praved natare ; the last wreek of other days
stll elinging to his soul. At this moment,
Red Braod, maddened by the drugs which he
has drank, proposes a dance, and from the
darkness of the den, drags a miserable female
into light. Liet us look in upon the gcene.
‘Come, dyuu jade, no fooling, or I'll eufl
you as | did yesterday,’ growled the ruffian,
as he stood her erect against the table, "The
poor wretch, form swollen with disease, was
clad in tatters, while her face, bloated with al
cohol. wasencircled by masses of tangled hair,
soiled by the dust of the floor, was either too
weak to stand, or Ber senses were yet confused
by her drunken slumber, for she fell backward,
and lay with her whole length on the table.
‘Brandy " she faintly muttered, ‘*brandy !
Black {mrry. who had been gazing into the
opposite corners of the room turned and be
held her. Thelight, standing beside her head
—lell over her bloated countenance, and a
round whose outlines the traces of loveliness
and beauty seemed even yet to hoger. Larry
arose, with his curiosity excited by the ap
pearance ot the miserable woman. Ile cast
‘one glance over her form, with the white bo
som==white even yet, though foul hands had
beaten it in drunken frenzy—appearing in the
light from the garment of tatters, while the
palsied teet, swollen by consumption, were
thrust from the skirts, like the feet of a corpse.
Black Larry bent slowly down, his curling
beard touching her face, as he surveyed her
with a long and careful glance.
‘Brandy !=I burn <1 burn=-brandy !"=mut
tered the miscrable woman.
She unclosed hereyes. Black Larry raised
his head. The convict saw him tremble ; the
murdurer noticed that his face had grown very
pale; the pauper wondered why his lips quiv
cred so tremulously. Stretching forth his
hands, as if to save himself fiom a fall over
over some dizzy height, that man stood there
for a moment and then sank back into the
chair.
*Avice " he murmured in a whisper that
froze their blood. The vagabonds gazed up
on his livid face with a look of surprise.—
*What! You don't mean to say? Not that
thing !" eried Red Brand starting backward,
with the brandy bottle in his hand.
*My sister " said Black Larry, in a horse
whisper, as he wiped the cold sweat from his
brow.
The miserable girl moved on the table, and
clutched at its rough boards with her quiver
ing hunds;
‘I buro=l burn? Brandy—why will you
not give me—Dbrandy !
Black Larry silently arose. DBending down
his head he shaded his features from the light,
with his upraised hand, and gazed upon her
face. The vagabonds could not mark the
writhings of his couuntenance, bat even in
that dim light they beheld his museular form
quiver as with the first touch ol some deathly
disease. The hand which shaded his eyes,
trembled with a short, quick, nervous motion.
All was silent. The criminals regarded his
speechless emotion, with a mute reverence
that said more for their rude sympathy with
his death-like agony, than all the eloquence of
words, that ever (lowed from the lips of some
great orator.
*Alice=" he murmured in a whisper searce
ly audible, yet wrung syllable by syllable, from
his writhing heart—'Alice don’t you know me?
I am your brother, Alice, your own brother !
The eye-lids of that bloated (ace slowly un.
closed. Those eyes were lifted to his face,
The veins of the white eramel filled with in
jected blood, the lips purple and swollen, there
was yet a soft expression lingering in the wild
glare of her eyes, like the faint ray of a lamp,
mingled in the red light of a conflagntion.
*Alice=Alice—' groaned his choaking voice
—:lvou knowme? My sister, you know me !
‘he eye of evil angels, looking from the in
visibls world, bave seen many sights of agony
in this dark earth, but neser did their gaze
lest on a sight more terrible than this.
That wretched girl was & thing of sale, on
whose swollen lips any ruffim might press his
Kisg=tlhese criminals, all, had shared her loath
some love=nand yet she was a Sister, and yet
the man with the bowed and writhing bosom
was her Brother!
And then delivions with brandy and apinm,
she told in her mad way, the story of her hife
looking ull the while wnto Larry's face, but
unconscions that he was her brother, *Lar
ry. why did you stay so long 1" she Waced
her hands upon his brow bat did not know
him : *Mother was dead and buried; 1 was
poor and hiad no friends. Oue cold night |

cloak yet closer to my bosom. He appeared
~yes, he offered me wealth, a home, il |
would wed him. | was so poor, so cold, so
miserable, [ conld not retuse. In thatwretch
ed room, we were married ! Married! Larry
why did you stay so long !
A dark thought poisoned the rude brother's
heart. She had fled from the generous hus
hand 3 she had so!'d herself 1o shame. And
then placing her hands upon bis brow,—look
ing at lnm without seeming to know him—she
woent on s
] was married,’ she said with an aceent ol
despair, that quivered through her brother’s
heart like a bolt of ice. *Aund not married.
e had a wife hiving. He robbed me of all
that makes a woman holy, though she is clad
‘in rags. He thrust me torth into the streets,
‘tm«l-—-.' she paused, burst into will laughter
as the light of the candle met her leaden gaze,
and then went on=—"l starved on for three days,
in the streets without a home. Sunday came;
I was very bungry, very cold,indeed I did not
know what 1 was domg, for | wandered into
large church crowded with people. Some
knelt before an altar tasting bread and wine,
One man handed the cup from lip to lip. It
was my husband. 1, you sce, I was mad Lar

that the communion cup fell from his haund,

She was dying. Her soul was departing
from that body of disease and pollution to a
bettermm—— no! no! Notto a better world
or a better form, for there are Reverend men
who assure us, that this soul now departing
Arom the body, which had been polluted by a
holy Elder, who lifted the communion cup on
' Sabbath day, was now going forih to eternal

‘world, she was going to the blacker mght of

Yet it was a sad thing to witness, the going
forth of that young soul! Perchance=—pious
people who serve the devil six days in the
week, and give the seventh to your God, do
not read this sentence for it is blasphemous—
perchance, the same Jrsus, who looked from
lis cross, where he was stretched in bitter ag
ony, and smiled upon the Magdalene, who
wept in silence, at its foot, now gazed from
[Heaven and gently whispered to the passing
soul, *Alice, come up higher”’
And the rude brother who gazed upon her
now ; was there not a horrible intensity to his
wgony !
He had seen men wear away by staravtion,
he had been in a solitary boat on the ocean,
when a living man was slaughtered day by
day, to feed hisbrother's hunger; he had seen
death in the ghastliest shape it ever takes, by
fever, steel, or poison, but this last hour of a
wrecked and polluted girl, was more terrible
than all.
*Alice!" he shouted in her freezing ear, *1
must know this Aushand's name. 1f there's a
God, 1 will know it. I'ell it to me now—with
your last breath, or il vou die with that secret
nutold, I swear to rend it from your heart.—
Alice! Alice! your hushand’s name!
T'he lamp gave one faint flutter and went
out.
By its last gleam, the brother beheld those
flashing eyes shine with one solitary glance of
consciousness. At last she knew him !
All was dark now ; the hands which he
grasped grew suddenly cold; he placed his
ear to her lips, to ascertain whether the last
breath had borne her spirit home, and that
breath fanned his cheek, utterring o one gasp,
a fatal name !
Then she was dead.
The name of her *nuspanp’—she gasped
it as she died.
The darkness came in mercy, and rested
like a pall upon herdead face, and so she slepr

Tue History or A GrurroN.—Anincred.
ible glutton, Joseph Kroloniker died at He- ‘
feld in the vear 1771, (Yorn at Passau) who
had shown his rapacity for gormandizing in
many houses at Hanover. This wonderf{ul
man has as early as his third year ecatensiones
to appease his hunger. is parents and even
his grandmother had been stone-eaters. Ac
cording to the judicial declaration of his wife,
he was never satisfied, except when he mixed
stoues with h's food, of which he had con
stantly a supply abouthim. Yes, he was once
about going to Holland, and having heard
that stones were not plenty there, he took sev
eral hundred weight with him. This man
was always hungry, and therefore, ate the
whole night. The longest interval from sati
ety to hunger again, was one hour and a half
He was able to consume at one meal seven
teen herring, as many quarts of beer, without
taking into the account an equal portion of
bread. At one time he ate two calves, one
boiled and the other roasted, in the space of
cighthours. Atßrunswick, lie ace at the cas
tle, twenty-five pounds of roasted beef, besides
having eaten Lefore five portions in a refecto
ry. He also ate other things, such as metals
and felt, yet he would not eat cat-fish, towards
which he had an unconquerable aversion.—
Kroloniker, who was in his youth a soldier,
when quartered, on account of his unheard of
appetite, was connted as eight men. It is
wonderful, but his passion for eating once sav
ed hislife! forinan engagement he was struck
by a bullet in the abdomen, but this being full
ol stones, the ball rebounded, and he was but
shghtly wounded. After lis death it was
found by dissection, that his bowels contained
a multitude of metals and some flesh; also a
pound and and a hall of stones.
QuicksiLvEß rrom Cuina.~This metal,
so extensively employed in medicine, in the
amalgamation of the noble metals, in water
gliding, the filling of barometer and thermom
eter tubes, &c., has hitherto been imported
chiefly from Spain, Germany, and Peru.—
Now, however, thereis a prospect of its being
obtained from China, some of the provinces
of which have been known to vield it in con
siderable abundance. One of the main novel
ties consis's in the mode of package, the met
al being simply poured into a piece of bamboo,
about a foot long and three inches thick, hav
ing each end firmly closed with rosin. This
rude forin of package is found quite as service
able as the iron bottle in which mercury is
usually brought, while it is lighter, and every
way more convenient for shipment. Speci
mens were recently shown in the London mar
ket, and from the remunerating prices which
they have brought, it is expected that rencwed
shipments of the article to Europe will take
place on an extengive scale.
One day last Winter a’good-humored Irish.
man applied to an English merchant to dis
count a bill of exchange for him at rather a
long though not unusual date, and the mer
chant having casually remarked that the bill
had a great many days to run. *T'hat's true,’
replied the Irishman, ‘but then, my-honey, yon
don’t consider how short the days are at this
time of the year.'

Mr. Avrnose Monse—Denar Sir: Having taken yonr
Dock Root, Dandelion and Sarsaparilla Compound Syrup
for a year past, for the rheumatism, pain in the side, back,
shoulders, bones and joints, costiveness and dizziness of
the head, I take pleasure in bearing testimony to its bene
ficial effects upon a system aflicted with the above com
rlnims ;and for a number of years I have taken the popn
ar remedies for those complaints, not excepting the Sarsa
parilla preparations, and while I would say of many of
thew that they have done well, [ am constrained to say
that in my easge your Compound Dock Root, Dandclion and
Sarsaparilla Byrvup far ercecds them all.

Mr. A, Monse—Dear Sir : The box of Syrup yos sent me,
was thankfully received, as my health at (hat time was
very poor. [ have used nearly three bottles of ity and wn
happy to say that it has helped me more than any other
medicine 1 have ever used, [ have given away and sold
all but one bortle, and the proipect is there may be consid
erable more of it sold. 1 should be glad to have yon send
me two dozen immediately on the reception of this, and |
will send yon dollars by mail as soon as the syrup is
recetved. Please write as soon as this is recewved, and
ohlige your most ob’t servant, M. 5. BURR.
A. Monsg, Esqe=Dear Sir: In answer to yours of the 7th
inst., I have but tg say the Syrur sells well and gives sat
-Ifaetion in en-?r case, It has been lately used here in a
case of Chronic Rheumatizm, three bottles almost entirely
restoring the patient, after a four months confinement, and
the loss of the use of his arms, acompanied by a severe
pain wn the shoulders and chest. He called to buy Town
send’s Barsaparilla, I persuaded him to take your Syrup,
and he now thinks it fortunate he did so. A lady has pur
chased two or three bottles to send to her frivn‘lyi in New
York, having a high opinion of it herself,
Yours truly, 8. B BULKELEY.
This may certify that I have been troubled with the pal
pitation of the heart, and dizzin2ss of the head, for twe
years previous to my taking the Compound Syrup ol Dock,
Dandelion and Sarsaparilla, prepared by AMBROSE
MORSE, No. 112 Westminster street. | have taken two
bottles of the Syrup, and am now perfectly well, 1 could
theretore recommend it for the above complaints with the

Spasmodic Asthma.~To save further inguiries and to put
others in the way of obtaining a like relief, allow me to say
that I procared a pro‘mrnmm from Ambrose Morse, 142
Westminster street, Providence, called the Compound
Syrnr of Yellow Dock, Dandelion, and Sarsaparilla, of
which my wife has taken three bottles for the Spasmodie
Asthma, a distressing complaint which she has been troub
led with for twenty years, '("when she has taken the slight
est cold) she has Imt¥ the advice and followed the prescrip
tions of the most skillful physicians of the city and coun
try, and used many remec‘rien of high repute, with but very
little success, until «he used the Dock, Dandelion and Sar
saparilla Compound Syrup, which three bottles Lias dony
her more good, and been of greater benefit to her, than all
the medicines she has taken for that complaint for the
whole twenty years, and I believe she will be permently
cured if the use of it is continued. I therefore recommend
it to be used in all cases, and by all persons who are in any
way troubled with the Asthina, SAMUEL HOPKINS,

Mr. A. Morsg—=Dear Sir: In regard to that bottle of
American Balsam which you gave me for trinl with my pa
tients, [am happy to say to you, that I gave it to a Mrs.
M, who had Knn troubled with Piles for twenty-four
years, which had greatly impaired her general health, and
as is usual in that complaint, she had experienced much
severe siflering, had many physicians, and used many
remedies of lnv:fi repute, with slight alleviation of her suf
ferings—bhut afler mlnlhbut a part of a bottle of your Bal
sam, she says that she has not been as free from her com
plaint at any time before, for twenty-four years, She says
that her general health has much improved since being re
lieved of the Piles, although she has taken no medicine
since nsing the Balsam, She says further, in Burns, it is
the best thing she ever saw. G ETES N S St T 4

A. Morse, Druggist, Providence, R. I
Mr, Avrnosg Monse—Dear Sir: I cheerfully give my re
commendation of the Great American Bal=am for the cure
of the Piles. For eighteen months previous to July, 1815,
I was most severely ntfitted with the Piles. [ called on
Mr. Morse and gave him a plain statement of my case and
ofiered him filty dollars to curs me: he n-l‘usodyln tnke so
large o suimn and offered to cure me for one dollar. | took
the Balsnm and used it, and in four dnra [ was entirely
cured, and I have not felt any thing of them nor hid any
symptoms of them since, and 1 do say that were | to be
atllicted again as [ was at thattime, 1 would give one hun
dred dollars for a bottle of the Great American Balsam, if I
could not obtain it for a less rrlco. It is a medicine that
will stop pain, allay irritation, heal and strengthen the parts
where it is applied, equal to any medicit e that can be pro
duced. ALLEN LEWIS,
Providence, R. 1., September 10, 1846,
Mr. Amnnose Monrsg—Dear Sir: lam Im;lvpy to say to
you, that the Great American Balsam which 1 obtained of
you by the earnest entreaty of my friends, for the cure of
the Piles, has effected wonders in relieving me from pain
and suffering ; and after suffering for twenty-five years
with the Piles, and svme years not more than half of the
time ahle to attend to the work on n;y farm, Lam now able
to work all the time and have been for the two years past
Sninre 1 used your Balsam,) which thing I had given np all
hope of ever doing again, and was frequently told that I
need not expect any cure or ever being able to do any more
labor ; but ! bless the day that [ ever heard of the Great
American Balsam, and it ought to be published tlumahnut
the known world. WILLIAM W, STEERE.
Johnston, Oct, 10th, 1846,
I centify that my wife has been severely afflicted with
the Piles, hoth externally and internally, for the space oi
twenty years, and she has used all of the relehuml reme
dies that have been advertised and to no good effect, until
she used the Great American Ba'sam. Bhe has used more
than two dozen boxes of Upham’s Pile Electuary, nnd in
stead of being benefitted by it, he has boeumwim worse
all the time, und |do say she bhas received more henefit
from the Great Ameriean Balsam, than from all medicines
that she hias used for the last twenty ‘oan.

WILDER'S PATENT SALAMANDER IRON
SAFLS,
MANUFACTIURED BY
FILASC HERRING, New York.
A TRIAT, was made before a Committee of eminent Mer
chants at the foot of Wall street, New-York, for the
purpose of testing the fire-proof qualities of Wilder’s Patent
Salamanderr Safe, as (‘nlupul’fl‘ with those claimed for
Jesse Delano’s, C, J, Gayler’s Patent Double, and Scott’s
Patent Asbestos Safe. The subjoined extract from the
Committee’s Report, with the names of the gentlemen who
rendered that decisive verdict attached, presents clearly and
concisely the result of the experimont,
EXTRACT,
The above was a fair trinl, and was tous a convineing
proof of the superiority of the Salamander Bafe over all oth
ers ; and considering that it wus exposed to an intenge heat
for a period of eight hours, while each of the others were
destroyed by the sawe heat in less than two hours. We
have no hesitation in saying, that we consider Wilder's
Salamander Safe really fire-proof, and hfl'nrdin: perfect se
curity to books and papers in case of fire, We therefore
take much pleasure in making this statement tothe public,
and in recommending to them Wilder’s Patent Balamander
Safe, as fully entitled to their confidence,

Fubzequent accidental trials have been equally satisface

AB my Spanish Lustral and Medicated Hair Preservative
has acquired a high reputation, and is almost universal
l(v used for promoting the growth and preserving aud beauti
ying the hair, another article has been brought before the
public under the same name, but entirely different in ite
composition and etfect, and | hereby caution the public not
to be taken in by it, but always to mquire for “Camm #
Spanish Lustral”” and use no other, if they wish to be se
cure from deception, The ingredients, and a portion of
them can only be obtained from the Spanish markets, and
the manner of compounding the Lustral are known only to
myself, the secret having been communicated to me 12
{uru since by a distingu’shed surgeon in Edinburgh, Bcote
and, and was by me introduced to the public for the first
time. My Spanizh Lustral may be known by its bright gold
en color, being free from all coloring matter which is al
ways injnriuuu to the hair, and 1 would eaution the public
not to use any article of red color for the hair, as it must
tend to injure it very materially, and above all to purchase
no article benrinr the name of Spanish Lustral unless m
name ix attached to it, as all others are vile imitations, rn{-
culated to deceive those who are unacqguainted with the
vnuine and highly approved Camm’s Spanish Lustral.—
