Ob, Italy, tby diretul Fate* oppress A land whose only crime is loveliness ; Sad fated dowry of eternal woe, From whence thy varied sorrows ever flow : Ah ! that less love'y, or at least more strong. Either to tempt, or stem tb’ epppressor’a wrong: Thy potent arm might then the foe with* stand. Nor smiling plains invite the spoiler’s hand. No more shoald Alps their hostile torrents poor, Nor Adige streams be ateia’d with crimson gore— No Goths should roam Po’s fertile shores along, Nor Mantua bear the harsh barbarian tongue; Nor should we see tby fiery sons in arms, For thy oppressor’s urged to war’s alarms— In every danger foremost of the brave, Victor or vanquished, thou alike the slave. [From Blackwood's Magazine for MarcA.] THE SOLDIER S FUNERAL. What had’st thou dene to sink so peacefully to rest? Childe Harold. Calmly he died, the gallant youth, When still’d was demon War’s comrao* non, When Summer’* tree* were green, end smooth The surface of the ocean: Well tor his sake may Friendship weep, Weep that, when battle toils were done, When Glory’i Wreath was bravely woo, Too swiftly should descend his sim, O’er being’s western steep! I heard the roll of muffled drum— I heard the bugle's lonely wailing— As to the church yard they were nome With honors nought availing; I saw the sad procession move, With arm - reversed, and look* of woe— The pall, the bearers mtnmg slow— The sword, and helm with plumes of snow, The coffin-lid above. Prancing along with hoof of pride, U 'conscious uf the sad disaster, Unmounted, led on either side, Behind its ancient roaster, The gaiiant war-horse followed; oft To battle had he borne his lord, Nor started at the (lashing sword, When trumpets «ung, when cannon roar’d, And smoke clouds gloom’d aloft. Then slowly, ’mid the new-dug ground, 1 saw the sable bier descend'ng; The grave lilted up—hi* comiades round, With heads uncovered, bending; In pe-isive mood I turned away. And from the mournful scene did steal— Full sad and sore my hear tdid feel, As twice I heard the volley peal Above his senseless clay! Yes! there they left him;—daisies grow Upon the turf that wraps hi* bosom, And round the evening breezes strew The hawthorn’s silver blossom; Re bears no more the clarion sound— No more the helmet decks his bead— No more, in love, by him are led His gallant troop,—but, in bis^stead, Another now is found. Yes! all must die, and pass away— The fair— the noble—and the brave;— Tis desolate—I dare not *av To hear the breeze sigh o'er the grave! Well may the lonely bosom ache, To mark the grey sepulchral stone, And hear the melancholy moan, As the long gra»s and weeds upon The church-lower’s summit shake! iUoval. Tiie Jolloioing extract from the Rev. D . Lathrop*s sermons, breathes a spirit of liberal Christianity worthy of being recorded. “ Religion does consist in little niceties and trifling distinctions, which neither influence the heart nor con cern me pracuce ; nor in me obser vance or rejection of particular rights and forms, which a man may use or disuse with ut prejudice to real virtue in himself or others ; nor in u zeal ouh mtarliment to,or angry abhorrence of, tltii sect, or that church, io which, as in most other fields, there are some ta-pH and some wheat; but in some thing more excellent and divine.— That, in a word, is true religion that innke.s a good man ; which renders one pious inwards his God, conformed to the pattern of bis Saviour, benevolent to bis fellow men, humble in his tem per and mariners, peaceable in society, just in his treatment of all, condescend ing in cases of difference, strict in the government of himself, patient in ad versity, and attentive to his duly in ail condition* and relations in life.— When yon see such a charterer, you may believe that religion is there,— When you find this to be your charac* ter, you may believe that wisdom has entered into your heart, ** Yoti are to distinguish between truth and error, and to embrace (be «ne and reject (he other. Ru( never la grea we h n tlii gt which h. e no relation to practice ; nor make light of grpat things, which are im* mediately connected with duty. If you see a man meek, humble, peacea* hie, sober and benevolent, careful to practice piety himself, and to promote it among others* yon may thir.k him i religious,(hough you suppose him to Ii.»ve adopted some groundless opin ions. IT yon see one eooieotiobs a b'jut religion, condemning all who think not ns he does, busy sowing the seeds of discord, and in eausing divi «ions among brethren, and more sections lu makp proselytes to his own p*My and opinions, than to makp good men of his proselytes; whatever you moy u ink of h,s heart, you will at le» • ceirsdnd*', that his zeal is not ac* cording to knowledge.'* PUBLIC SALE.

It is not indeed presumptuously proposed ts an infallible cure, bat the Proprietor has every possible reason that can result from ex tensive experience, for believing that a dose ol these pills, taken once every tiro weeks, during the prevalence of BILIOUS, YEL LOW and MALIGNANT FEVERS, wUl under the blessing of Providence, prove an infallible preventative—and further, that in the hrst stages of those diseases their use will very generally succeed io restoring health. They are admirably adapted to carry of! superfluous bile, and to prevent its morbid, secretions—to restore appetite, a regular ha bit of the body, promote a free perspiration* and thereby prevent colds so often attended with fatal consequences to the lives of thou sands. , O Please inquire for “LEES ANTL BILIOUS PILLS, with the signature of NOAH RIDGELY, (late Mickael^Lee & Co ) Mr. Hoah Hidgely—For two rnontba past 1 have been afflicted with violent sick ness at the stomach, aod inclination to vomit and loss of appetite. By taking two doses of your pills, 1 am restored to a perfect state of health, which induced my wife to try them also, which was attended with the same good effects, being now able to attend to ht r do mestic concerns. In my opinion this medi cine is unequalled in stomach and bowel com plaints, aot being attended with that griping pain common to other medicines. JOHN SCOTT. Lee’s W orm Lozenges. The proprietor has now the pltaiure of slating that the following case came nnder his immediate observation. His little daugh* ter about 5 years old, appeared very visibly to lose her tlesh, no particular cause could be given for her thus pining away, she was at length taken with fevers, which, with other symptoms led him to believe >he had worms, he gave her a dose of Lee’s Lozenges, which brought away, incredible as it may appear; two worms, the one fifteen and the other thirteen inches in length, each three-fourths of an inch round. Lee’s Elixir. A sovereign remedy Jor colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthmas, sore throats, and approaching consumptions. Mr. Aoa/t Ridgely—1 was attacked with a most violent cold, a sevete cough and pains in the breast, which continued to grow worse; during which my appetite failed, and my voice altered so much, that it was with the utmost exertion 1 could pronounce a sin* gle sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me that much good had been done by the use of Lee’s Elixir, advised me to procure a bottle, which I accordingly did. and to those persons unac. quainteri with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing, that thiee doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of one bottle restored me to perfec health.
