On the Death of Mis. Bcckley.
How sweet her sleep! those lips still wear
A ling'ring smile, of beauty rare,
Even in death's embrace;
The pale, fair hoods, as if at rest.
So coldly fjlded o'er her breast.
With more than living grace.
Long had disease prey'd on that form,
Yet calmly bow'd she 'neath the irtorm.
Nor murmur'd at her fale;
Even the mother's heart, snboVd
To meet with Christian fortitude,
Whatever migLt await,
Tho' still affection strong must be, t,
To cloud her hope's futurity
Sometimes, with bitter tears,
In thinking of her lov'd ones, left
So early, of her care bereft,
To guide their tender years.
Love for her husband, too, night cling
Sometimes, to droop the spirit's wing.
And win it back ta earth; -
Vet wrong, it were, that love to Mnme,
For who may dare to say, the fluue
Had not in Heav'n its birth ?
No more shall pain that bosom heave, - -
Nor soriow the freed spirit grieve.
Which now hath left its cell :
And joy supreme, it was to her
That meek and trusting worshipper.
To bid earth's scenes farewell.
Altho' affection oft will sigh
Warm, gushing tears oft dim the eye,
For that dear, cherish 'd one,
Rather than wish her here again.
Subject to agoni.ing pain,
Joy, that her task is done!
And thon, to whom she was most denr.
Art like some tree, which lightnings sere.
Blighting its tow'ring pride;
But 'round that tree the ivy clings
Sweetly, in vernant beauty, springs
The leafless boughs to hide.
And th as, thy children, shall to thee.
Affection's lovely ivy be,
Wreathing around thy heart ;
Softly, shall steal thy thoughts away
From brooding o'er this sleeping clay
New charms to life impart.
Perhaps, that some young lace, may wear
Its mother's lineaments, so iir;
Possess her gentle mind
And as each dawning grace you view,
A voice as swee-t as tilling dew,
Shall whisper, " be resign'd."
Tho cloth'd to thee, in sombre hues,
Are nature's most delightful views.
And summer mocks thy woe-;
In bowers where she hath never rov'd,
'Mid scenes which she hath never lov'd.
Bright hours thou yet may'st know.
While mem'ry of the sainted dead
Its hallow'd influence shall shed,
Inspiring a soft calm;
And thoughts which now but pierce the soul.
Shall o'er it win a sweet control,
Breathing a fragrant bulm.
Thine is the task to soothe the heart,
And consolation rich impart,
Tho' grief reign there alone.
For others, belter canst thou feel
Than if the keenly barbed steel
Had never picre'd thine own.
And thou hast hopes, high hopes, again
Of meeting her, where seraphs reign,.
In realms unknown to care:
That shall sustain thee, to resign
Thine almost worship'd Caroline,
'Till reunited there. T. P. II. Tucker.
Northfield, June, 1839.

From the Southern Rose.
Piety at Home,.
mat Dome is, in every sense, tne most pious
home where there is peace, good will, contentment
and innocent iov ; where-there are brip,hi faces
and kind words, and where the house is notdivi
ded against itself! In that home-circle ..where
there is no bitterness of feclintr cherished where
no harsh words are uttered, of recrimination,' un
just anq;er, or intemperate reproof where purity
is cultivated in thought, word, and deed where
there is the sympathy which reioices with them
that do rejoice, and weens with them that weep
and where all in the true spirit of love exhort each
other daily, no less' by example than by kind
speech there we may behold the true . and per
iect piety at home.
The benefit, arismar from the observance of
this duty, is of great and peculiar importance.
There is no foundation for religious feeling and
action more firm and sure, than, this- It is at home
that the heart is formed ; foe the inward feelings
depend most on thoughts and actions which are
unrestrained ; and is it not the heart which reli
gton chiefly and always asks?. It is at home, toa,
that we may best cultivate consciousness in per
forming duties, the neglect of which we- have- no
occason to dread will be puolicly exposed, butwhfch,
if heededt must be so at the simple dictates)! one s
conscience. "
Here, also, may the affections be best eherLshed,
Tor it they exist at all, here they will be disinter
ested. And at Home is the place to form one's
principles. It is easy to act on feigned motives,
in the sight of others, but the difficulty and nec
essary thing for a good man, is to net on principle
invariably, and in private, as well as in public.
It is something more than good nature, or kind
ness simply, to overcome the daily trials upon
one's temper, to submit with willingness to the
many little self-sacrifices, so needful to the comfort
of social life, and to profit by the thousand oppor
tunities there are of being considerate and useful.
This is no more the triumph of affection than it is
of principle. . '
Piety at homt is, indeed, then, the groundwork
of all religious duty ; for it i;s this which may
plant deeply the seeds of wider feelings, and more
extended action. The love and gratitude we feel
towards an earthly parent are helps to the great
duty of love and gratitude to the Almighty Father
of all. Our good will and kindnesss towards our
kindred, is the best nnd sincerest beginning to a
sympathy with the whole human race. And this
is the true and just sense of the saying that ' Char
ity' (that is, the true benevolent feeling) begins at
home.
Ao-ahi. When holy habits of heart nnd life
o-row up in private they have moral associations
connected with them which almost ensure their
preservation for the future. When we consider
the images of purity, and love, and truth, and con
tent, which cluster around the pious household, can
it be wondered at that we should recur to the duties
which rendered us so happy ! It is the want of
the calm happiness of a cheerful fireside which
has left many hearts to be swallowed up in vain
amusements and dangerous excitements. And
when there is no thought of a sympathising and
happy home to win one from temptations, his
heart and principles arc at the mercy ofevery vain
show, and every artful adviser, and of every
bad companion, and ol every ialse triend. Hut it
is not so with him, who has learned to shov nnd
has found piety at home. He may "go into
strange city and meet with its allurements, but the
love of his own hearth saves nun Irom giving hi
affections elsewhere. The words of the profane,
and scornful, and profligate, sound upon his ears
but the voice of holy purity is heard by him the
louder and sweeter from his own distant dwelling,
He meets in the broad world with vice and deceit
in every corner, and at first he may distrust and
weep lor human nnture, and may be tempted to
fall in with the evil of the mass. But he soon is
taught that it is man's own doing which has so
debased him, and so shrouded the brightness of his
nature, ivhen he reflects on the unperverted hearts
lie lias lelt beninij, ana lrom tne contrast, lie loves
purity and virtue all the more. His soul may
sink within him at seeing the vain chases ot man
kind after happiness, and ho would say, all is van.
ity, uiu not ins memory picture lortn tne nappy
contentment of his own home. Elsewhere, he
may be the victim of injury, and the dupe ofinsin
ecrity, and the object of unjust suspicion, but there
at least, he is sure of willing kindness of finding
truth and of being beloved.
The rememberance therefore of a home of piety
is a no slight defence for our vir'ue, no surer a
refuge in the season of darkness and the storm
than the shelter of affection, and the strong hold
of principle. It will save one from thirst for excite
ment, which so often takes the unrsflecting from
from the common dnties and innocent happiness
of life, and leads them into temptation, and from
that restless spirit, which, wishing it knows not
what, hurries so many into reckless courses and
it can give a peace, which as long as the worldly
spirit is excluded from the heart, the broad world
with all its attractions of pleasure ean never take
away.
Nor is this all. Consider the power of such a
home to reclaim, in case it have not preserved the
heart.
In one point of view, moral danger is next to
hopelessness. It is so, when one lias yielded to it
deliberately having first given up better thoughts
and rememberanccs. But it is"" not so in the
case of one who in an evil hour has been' taken
unawares. There is hope here. For the time
m sell-examination will come, and he will see
! that he is not what he should be, and there will
be sorrow in his heart, and this may work repent
ance. ' ' ,
At such a moment of our lives, how precious
would be the remembrance of one's first piety at
home I Ihe associations of purer days they
only promise of one's youth the fond dependance
of those we love upon our love, and respect, and
gratitude to them the hope which we know they
cherish ol hearing our praises the chilling lear
lest they should be disappointed the bare fancy
of bringing gray hairs with sorrow to the grave
of contaminating the good name of one's kin
dred, and laying disgrace at the door where slan
der never dared to pause these, would be no vain
counsels. Could one, amidst such appeals, go on
the evil course he had begun reckless how h
turned the praise of those who were near and dear
to him, into the bitterest reproach ; or careless
how lie darkened with grief the eager counten
ances that are looking with joyful hope for tidings
of his success and honor ; trifling at the thought
ol making the heart of affection heavy; or un
moved at bringing misery and shame upon hi:
once honored and-happy dwelling ?
fe-' .tv 4fe "M" 4( fc
In a word', there is a power in the associations
that are connected in our mind with a well loved
home, which is sufficient to guard, to reprove and
stimulate the heart and hie, preserving and enforc
ing the persuasions of memory and the. warnings
of conscience. But this influence, (which after
all may be a wise instinct) becomes doubly itrong
anu permanent, when made virtuous and sacred,
as it is by piety -at home.
It was the thanksgiving of a holy man of old
to God, ' that He had laid up for aim a. dioelUux
of health. Hut how much more to be prized is a
dwelling of piety ! Fos this will sweeten health,
and highten joy, and soften sickness, and soothe
sorrow. Health alone, may take us away from
the peace of home, ihUfc the delusions wilb which
active life is filled. But' the dwelling of vietv.
whether we are there or absent from it, will have
dhenished and will still cherish our native purity.
Hearth alone, may make its vigor a plea for plung
ing into guilt. But piety ,'whether weak or strong,
will preserve or integrity, or reclaim our hearts.
Health must at lnt fail. But by this piety we
are saved at the closing hour of life from the ad
ded pangs of an evil conscience, and lrom sin,
whrcfa is the sting of death. - 1-'-t '
Let the obiect of our prayers, be the dwelling
of piety. May it be the reason of bar' present
and future thanksgiving. And, above all things,
never doubt that the house of domestic virtue is a
house of God and a gate to Heaven.

Savannah, April 11th, 1830. .
ed to teach the free school of Colchester, Conn.
and was subsequently, it is believed, graduated at
Dartmouth College, after which he taught in Bos
ton, lrom Boston he went to llayti, where he
was employed by Christophe, " the first crowned
monarch of the new world," as his agent, to irn
prove the state of education in his dominions, and
was sent to Europe to procure means ofinstruc
tion. In England he was treated as minister
plenipotentiary, and his cognomen being mistaken
for his title, he was conversant with the nobility,
and admitted into the society ol the King, and
quite at home at the house of Sir Joseph Banks,
then President of the Royal Society.
From some cause or other, his conduct in Europe
did not please his royal master, and on his return
home, he was dismissed from his employment.
After remaining a short time in Hayti he return
ed to this country, studied divinity, and at one
time officiated in a church in Philadelphia. : .
How lono he remained here the writer knows
not but he removed hence to Hayti again, nnd at
the time of his death was attorney general of the
government. As he was an extraordinary man,
it is hoped this notice of his death may be the
means of calling forth farther particulars respect
ing him.
One anecdote of Prince we are enabled to give,
which is both characteristic and amusing. While
residing at Boston, before he left this- country, he
was a good deal noticed by several ot tne prmei
pal families in that city on account of his intelli
gence and good conduct their treatment of him
being of the character best signified by the word
patronizing. For instance, they would lend him
books, advise and assist him on occasions of emer
gency, &c ; and one lady in particular who took
much interest in his welfare, would occasional),
when he called upon her at her breakfast hour,
as was sometimes the case, give him a cup of cof
fee, which he would drink standing behind her
chair.
This lady afterwards visited England, at the
time when Prince was running his round of
" lioiization" there ; and one morning he called
upon her while at breakfast. She had heard
something of his newly acquired greatness, and
felt embarrassed in deciding how to treat him.
The " standing cup,"which she had been accus
tomed to proffer him, might not now be exactly
the kind ofcourtesy he would expect and she
was not quite prepared to give him a seat at her
table, and place him on the looting ol an equal.
In this dilemna, it occured to her that the best
way would be, to put her civilly in such a shape
as would throw the solution of the difficulty on
him trusting-that his good sense, and recollec
tion of the past would relieve her from embarrass
ment. She therefore asked him, not to sit down
and take breakfast with her, but whether he had
breakfasted.
" Ihanlc you, iUadam, was fnnce s answer,
given with all the ease and indifference of an ac
complished " lion" " Thank you madam, I am
going to breakfast with the Prince liegent, at
Carlton House. iV. Y. Commercial.
Crows can be caught intoxicated but once,
The 'following amusing article is extracted
from the Peori (Illinois) Register.
"Colonel B. has one of the best farms on the Illin
ois river. About one hundred acres of it is now cov
ered with waving corn. -When it hrst come up
in the spring, the crows seemed determined on its
entire destruction. When one was killed, it seem
ed as though a dozen came to its funeral. And
though the sharp crack of the rifle ofren drove
them away, they always returned with its e
cho. The Colonel at length became weary of throw
ing grass, and resolved on trying the virtue of
stones. He sent to the druggist tor a gallon ol
alcohol, in which he soaked a few quarts of corn,
and scattered it over his field. The black legs
came and partook with their usual relish ; and,
as usual they were soon pretty well corned ; and
such a cooing and cackling such a struling and
staggering! The scene was like but I will
make no invidious comparison yet it was very
much like -
When the boys attempted to catch them, they
were not a little amused at their staggering gait,
and their zigzag course through the air. At
length they gained the woods, and there beitig join
ed by a new recruit, which happened to be sober,
they united at the top of their voices, in haw, haw,
hawing and shouting the praise or curse ot alco
hol ; it was difficult to tell which, as they rattled
away without rhyme or reason, so very much
the Colonel saved his corn. As soon as
they became sober, they set their faces steadfastly
against alcohol. Not another kernel would they
touch in his field, lest it should contain the accurs
ed thing, while they went and pulled up corn for
his neighbors. To return like a dog to his vom
it like a washed sow to the mire like not
they. They have loo much respect for their char
acter black as they are again to be found
drunk."

New Haven, Ohio, Dec. 4th, 1838.
Gentlemen, Seeing the very high estimation held forth
by the Agent in this section, and by those who had the op
portunity of trying Dr. Pbelps' Compound Tomato Pills
and being under belief of the firm having restored healthy
secretions of the glandular system more than once, by us
ing the Tomato Apple a a vogetable ; I have been induc
ed to try this medicine in various diseases. In the Autum
nal Intermitlents, prevalent in this section of the States, I
have no doubt Dr. Phelps' Compound Tomato Pills will, in
a great measure, if not entirely supersede the use oCal
omel. I believe that in diseased liver they are more
prompt in their effect, and as efficient, as Calomel I have
tried them in various other diseases, as -Rheumatism, Dys
pepsia, Jaundice, &c, with tho most happy effects. As
far as my knowledge extends, I have no hesitancy in rec
ommending them as a highly valuable Family Medicine.
Yours respectfully,
THOMAS JOHNSTON.
From a gentleman of high respectability ; dated
New York, Nov. 6th, 1838."
To R. G. Phelps, Dear Sir : I have used your Com
pound Tomato Pills, the past season, for the Liver com
plaint ; and am happy to add, with decided benefit : an
therefore take great pleasure in recommending litem
well from a sense of gratitude to the benevolent Proprietor
as with a view of serving the cause of philanthropy ; from
a sense of duty I owe the public to bearing my testimony
in favor of this the world s invaluable medicine.
Six years since, I suffered from a malady, pronounced by
the concurrent opinion of a council of physicians, a chron
ic inflammation of the Liver; and underwent a skilful
mercurial treatment ; being confined for manv months ;
and at leneth mainlv restored to a tolerable degree of
health, though not without an apprehension that I should
be similarly afflicted, ttly fears have been but too well
confirmed hv a recurrence of nearly all the symptoms of
this dreadful malady the past summer ; when accidentally
I heard of your Pills, and learning something of their prop
erties and characters, and their rapidly increasing celcbn
tv, I resolved on trying them. Feeling as I did, a repugn
nance to resorting again to Calomel, and after ineffectually
and unsuccessfully trying other medicines professing
specific remedy for this complaint, I purchased a box of th
Messrs. Sands, Druegists.corner William and Fulton streets
duly authorized agents ; they presenting me, to accompa
ny the box, a pamphlet containing a specification, direc
tions, &c. I had not taken one box of them before I hap-
oily experienced their healing efficacy and curative effects
and now that I have given them a thorough trial, can
cheerfully and unhesitatingly pronounce them the very
bent remedy extant for any derangement or affection of th
Liver or Siilern, Billion Jljtections, Palpitation oj th
Heart, or Dyspepxia in any of its forms : also as a good
family medicine, are the best with which 1 am acquainted
At mv recommendation and solicitation many ot m
friends and acquaintances have ta'ton them as nfamily med
icine, with perfect success. I grant my permission to use
this as you please. Yours truly,

Early impressions. What is the object of ed

be done ? Not by lessons, but principally through
the influence of example and circumstance and
situation. How soon is the child, exposeu to tnese

and feels the pressure to its mother s bosom ; lrom
the hour that it becomes capable of noticing what

may grow into a petty tyrant at ten months old ;
and tottle about at two years a selfish, discontent

turns from with disgust. During this period ev

Some right and some wrong notions may take
such firm hold, and some impressions, cood or"
bad, may sink so deep, as to be with scarcely any
force eradicated. There is no doubt that many of
those incurable crookednesses of disposition,
which we attribute to nature, would bo found, if
they could be traced, to have originated in the ear

stunted tree is so, not from any natural perversity
of the seed from which it sprung, but from the

Sir For several years past I have found it well to keep
in my family a bottle of castor oil and other simple med
cines. and no doubt ther timely use has been greatly bene'
ficial in preserving our health, tor some time past 1 have
made use of your Compound Tomato Pills, as a substitute
for those medicines, and have been so much pleased with
their mild, vet effective operation, that they have becom
our family medicine, while others have been laid aside. I
