FROM THE HELIGIOCS SOUVENIR.
AGRICULTURE.
BY C. W. EVERETT.
How West the Farmer's simple life !
How pure the joy it yields !
Far from the world's tempestuous strife,
Free, 'mid the scented fields I
When Morning woos, with roseate hue,
O'er the far hills away,
Hi footsteps brush the silvery dew,
To greet the welcome day
When Sol's first. beam in glory glows,
And blithe the sky lark's song, -Pleased
to his toil the Farmer goes.
With cheerful steps along.
While nooa broods o'er the sultry sky,
And Sunbeams fierce are ca?,
Where the cool streamlet wanders by,
lie shares his sweet repast.
When Twilight's gentlest shadows fall
Along the dark'ning plain,
He list's his faithful watch-dog's call,
To warn the listening train.
Down the green lane young hurrying ieet
Their easier pathway press j
His loved ones come in joy to greet,
And claim their sire's caress.
Then when the evening prayer is saiJ,
And Heaven with praise is blest,
How sweet reclines his weary head,
On Slumber's couch of rest !
Nor deem that fears his dreams alarm,
Nor cares, with carking din :
Without; his dogs will guard from harm;
And all is peace within.
Oh, ye who run ia Folly's race,
To win a worthless prize !
Learn from the simple tale we trace,
Where true contentment lies!
Ho! monarch! flushed with Glory's pride!
Thou painted, gilded thing!
Hie to the free-born Farmer's side,
And learn to be a king!
From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
PERILOUS ADVENTURE AT THE FALLS.
An occurrence of most thrilling interest look
place at Niagara Falls yesterday afternoon, at
tended with imminent peril to the lives of two
individuals, but resulting ia a most happy and
providential deliverance.
The new bridge on Iris island is planted in a
frightful rapid, where the current is from 20 to
30miles an hour, and is only about 100 or 150
yards above the brow of the great precipice, or
perpendicular fall. A carpenter by the name
of Chapin was engaged with others in covering
the bridge, and while at work upon a staging
about one hundred feet from Iris island, acciden
tally lost his footing, and was precipitated into
the rapids, and in the twinkling of an eye swept
away toward the great cataract. Speedy and
inevitable destruction seemed to await him ; but
fortunately he was uninjured by the fall, and
even in this most hopeless condition retained
perfect self-possession. Turning bis eye toward
the only point of hope above the fearful precipice
he succeeded, by great dexterity in swimming,
in effecting a landing upon a little island some
twenty feel in width and length, the outermost
of the group of little cedar islands situated some
thirty or forty yards above the falls, and about
equidistant from Goat island and the American
shore.
There he stood for an hour, looking calmly
and beseechingly back upon the numerous spec
tators who lined the bridge and shores, but with
whom he could hold no conversation on account
of the distance, and the roar of the rapids.
There is a man in the village of the Falls by
the name of Robinson, of extraordinary muscular
power, great intrepidity, and withal an admir
able boatman and he was probably the only
one that could have been found within fifty miles
who generously volunteered his services to -attempt
reaching the island in a boat, and bring
Chapin off! A light boat of iwo oars, similar
in construction to the Whitehall race boats, was
soon procured, and he embarked.
He proceeded with great deliberation and con
summate skill, darting his little boat across the
rapid channels, and at the intervening eddies
holding up to survey bis situation and recruit
his strength for the next trial. In a few min
utes he n eared the island, but a rapid channel
still intervened, sweeping close to the island,
and rendering the attempt to land very difficult.
He paused for a moment, and then with all his
strength darted across and sprang from his hoat
his foot slipped, and he fell backward into the
rapid current.
With the spectators it was a moment of thrill
ing interest and breathless silence, his boat seem
ed inevitably lost, and himself in fearful jeopardy.
Retaining, however, his grasp on the boat, he
sprang in, and again seizing the oars brought
up under the lee of the little island. All again
felt a momentary relief but still the great labor
and hazard of the enterprise remained to be over
come. A cool head and a strong arm only could
effect it. Robinson proved equal to the task. Tak
ing his companion on board, in the same careful
and deliberate manner.thoueh, at infinitely great
er hazard and labor, they effected a safe landing
on Goat Island.
There the spectators assembled to give them
a cordial greeting. A scene of great excitement
ensued the boat was drawn uji the bank, and
it was moved and earned by acclamation that a
collection be taken up' on the spot for Chapin
and his noble hearted deliverer Robinson.
It was a generous one and was thankfully re
ceived ; but the reflection of Robinson that he
has rescued a fellow being under such circum
stances will be to his generous heart a much
richer one. After the collection, Robinson and
Chapin took their seats in the boat, and were
carried in triumph on the shoulders of their
neighbors to the village.
The interest of the whole sceno was heighten
ed by the presence of Chapin's wife and 'child
ren, who stood on the shore watching with un
availing horror and agony what seemed his
inevitable and fearful fate. With what devout
and heartfelt gratitude must they have thanked
God. when the husband and parent once more
stood by their side safe and sound.
Said a fellow to a Jew, a while ago, "did you
know that they hang Jews and Jackasses togeth
er in Entrlanrt?" 1M T A;K " .u..
p. m. bill t, ICUUCU lilt!
Israelue, "but if it be true, it is fortunate that
you and I are not there, for one of us might be
hung for his nation, and the other for his nature
and there would be an end of both."
; , THE MORALS OF HANGING. ,
We do not know from what work the follow
ing terrible passage is extracted. We find it in
the Albany Daily Advertiser. It bear3 harder
against punishment by death than a whole acre
of homily. Y
THE HANGMAN AND THE JUDGE.
"Did your lordship ever attend a killing time
at the Old Bailev? If not, pray favor me with
vour company not on the gallows, but staying
in the street, amid the crowd that always assem
ble when I am at work for you and the sherin.
Perhaps it will add to the zest, if you come when
I have a vonnz woman to stiffen, supplied by
yourself. Will the fluttering of the petticoats,
as she swings in the wind, produce a pleasant
sound in your -ars, my learned master? Fail
not to" watch the people the men, women, and
children, good, bad and indifferent who have
o-athered to behold the sacred majesty of the law.
You will see such flashing of the eyes and grind
ing of teeth vou will hear sighs and groans,
and words of rage and hatred, with fierce curses
on yourself and me: and then laughter, such
as it is, of an unnatural kind, that they will make
vou sick I You will feel no, why should you
fee! any more than your faithful journeyman ?
We shall goto our breakfasts with good appe
tites, and a firm conviction that every hanging
bout changes many sneaking pilferers into sav-
insr robbers, fit for murder.
"A few years ago I was called out of town to
hano- a little boy who had been convicted of kil-
n with malice aforethought. It guilty, ne
must have been in the habit of going to execu
tions. Ten thousand came to dabble in the poor
young creature's blood. That was the youngest
fellow creature 1 ever nanaieu in tne wayoi ou
smess : and a beautiful child he was, too, as vou
have seen by the papers, with a straight nose,
large blue eyes, and golden hair. I have no
heart, no feeling: who has in our calling 1 But
those who came to see me strangle that tender
youngster, have hearts and feelings as we once
had. Have I no had ; for what they saw was
fit to make them as hard as your servant or his
master.
"They siw that stripling lifted, fainting, on to
the callows : his smooth cheek of the color of
wood ashes his little limbs trembling, and his
bosom heaving sigh after sigh, as if the body and
soul were parting without ray help.
"This was a downright murder; for there was
scarcely any life to take out of him. When I
began to pull the cap over his baby fice, he pres
sed his small hnnds together, (his arms, you
know, were corded fast to hisb dy,) and he gave
me a beseeching look, just as a calf will lick the
butcher's hand. But cattle do not speak; the
creature muttered, "Pray, sir, don't hurt me. -
"My dear," answered I, "vou should have spoken
to my master; I'm only the journeyman, and
must do as I m bid. I his made him cry
which seemed to relieve him, and I do think I
should have cried myself if I had not heard
shouts from the crowd "Poor lamb! shame!
murder!" "Quick," said the sheriff. "Ready,"
said I. The Reverend gentleman gave me the
wink, the drop fell: one kick; and he swayed
to and fro, dead as the feelings of the Christian
people of Englanci.
"The crowd dispersed; some swearing, some
weeping with passionate exclamations ; and some
laughing while they cracked blackguard jokes
on you and me and the parson and the dangling
corpse. I hey had come for the sight; they
would have come to see an angel murdered.
They had come to get drunk with strong excite
ment, they went back reeling and filthy with the
hot debauch. They had come to riot in the pas
sions of fear and pity; they went back, some in
a fever of rage, some burning with hate, some
hardened in heart like me, or you ; all sunk
down in their own respect, ready to make light
of pain and blood, corrupted by the indecent
ehow, and more fit than ever to make work for
us the judge and the hangman."
O wise law-makers ! who think to soften the
hearts of the people; to make them gentle and
good ; to give them a feeling of respect for them
selves and others, by showing them a sight like
this.
SHARKS.
The Centreville Eastern Shore Times states
that the seine-haulers from Baltimore have rare
sport occasionally with those huge monsters of
the deep. A few days ago three sharks of enor
mous size, from twelve to fourteen feet long,
were taken in a seine on the flats ofT Pincy Point
in Chester river. After a long and net altogeth
er a bloodless battle, the seine-haulers captured
one and killed another, while the third was per
mitted to escape. Much d-imige was done to
the seine. One of the sharks laid hold of it with
his teeth and rent it in several places, nor could
he be induced to let go hi3 hold until severely
cut and bruised by the seine-haulers, who plied
their oars with great dexterity over the head and
back of the fish. We learn they are very num
erous in the Chester and tributaries. A party
of gentlemen who were on a piscatory excursion
a day or two ago saw no less than five.

Road, midway between Raleigh and Gaston, has
sDrunff into existence within a few months : and

here, a Newspaper will be enabled to lurnisli its
readers wnb the earliest commercial, political, anu
areneral intellirrence.
For the great convenience of those ordering goods

bers can be obtained ; and the necessary arrange
ments made for publishing an efficient paper in
proper style.

THE INDIAN ELIXIR,
A CURE FOR
Coughs, Aslhma, Sf Inflammation of the Lungs
Is a vegetable extract, of an' agreeable laste, and cer'
tain in its happy results. The secret of making this
pleasant elixir was communicated by an Indian chief
or mediciner as he was called, to an English physician
attached to the command of Gen. Wolfe, after the ca
pitulation of Quebec, as an act ot gratitude for some
favor he had received during the progress of tbat affair
Shortly after this transaction the professional emle
man was recalled, (by the decease of some wealthy con
nexions at home,) to the possession of an ample for
tune. Although the doctor abandoned his lormer pur
suits, he never relinquished the practice ol the "Indian
Elixir," which he prescribed to a very great extent with
out receiving any compensation whatever, except the
reward which attends the performance of a good action.
After the death of the doctor, from the same humane
motives, his descendants continued the use of the re
ceipt for a long time, as our numerous te9timonals v.ill
show, till the increasingdemand made it necessary that
they should form some such arrangement as should de
liver them from the trouble, and yet not diminish its
usefulness. The heir, therefore, finally willed to do
the business entirely by agency; making only so mod
erate a charge, as merely to defray the expenses ot pre
paring the medicine. With a view lo this object, the
executors have appointed C. E. HOIT ihe sole agent
for North America and the West India Islands; who
will reside in New-York, and appoint such sub.agents
as, in his judgment, necessity may require. Certifi.
cates and letters of recomniendaiion may be had of ihe
ageiits, where many of the originals may be examined,
which would satisfy the most fastidious. As the article
is not sold with a de9ire to make the profit an object,
Ihe folly of a false repre&ention must appear obvious to
every reasonable person. Price Si per bottle.

tion being made according to law, and Defendant fail
ing to appearand answer; it was ordered that another

ESRAIVDRETfi'S P1LI,S
THE New York Sun says: "Brandrelh's Pills have
been used among many of our friends, and in our
own family we have used them nearly four years when
we required medicine ; in that period, no Doctor save
Dr. Brandreth has crosed our threshold, and no medi
cine besides the JJoctor's rills used, uur Deuel ,
'keep your bowels and blood pure," and every kind of
disease will be prevented or cured. The Brandreth
Pills are eminetly calculated to do this, and thereby
much lessen the sum of human misery."
Tnj New York Evenine Star says : ' Brandreth s
Pills are a medicine which their own intense worth will
secure for them a large and ready sale. They have
deservedly a high, reputation ; and as a family and
anti bilous remedy, it would be difficult to equal them
among all the Patent Medicines of the present day."
LL" I o the whole family of men. We feel botfl
pleasure and satisfaction in recommending to all our
readers, Brandreth's Vegetable Pills, as the most cer
tain, most safe, and invaluable medicine extant. As
anti-bilious and aperient Pjlls. We are perfectly con
vinced they stand lar above all others: as a certain
cure in all cases of worms, scurvy, scorbutic humors,
erysipelas, and all anections ot the skin, dropsy, asthma
stone, gravel, piles, and lumbago, they will be lound
invaluable." London Times.
Extract from Dr. B's address to the citizens oj
ihe United States :
"And be careful to remember that I have never
authorised any doctor, druggist, apothecary or pedlar
in the United States to sell mv Pills. Never lorget
that this class, doctors, drusrists. apothecaries, and
pedlars are the men "who sell counterfeits, (with few
exceptions,; and that all tradesmen who are maue
agents have each of them an engraved certificate ot
agency, signed in writing with a pen by me, apd which
certificate requires renewal every 12 months, it being
no gruarantv for more than nn vpar from date ob

THE EXCLUSIVE SALE OF HIS PILLS.
For sale by Wm. Peck, agent, Raleigh N. C. whois
also duly authorised to appoint Sub agents for the sale
of the Pills, in each of the following Counties viz: Cum
berland, Chatham, Caswell Franklin, Granville, Guil

for Sub-Agencies in these Counties, it is suggested, (a
is usual in such cases) that the applicant should be r
commended to the Agent above named at Raleigh.
IT" Dr. Brandreth's Pills are sold at 25 cents pet

P. S. It is a real fact, that the great popularity of the
medicine in this country has tempted the unworthy
to counterfeit extensively ; hence the importance ol the
Doctor's oft repeated caution to purchasers.
