A RHYME TO MY SISTER «CAD."
BT WALKER H. FETER*.
In Life's spring-time and profusion,
Cherish ana improve each hour,
Cling not to the fleet delusion,
That youth is a lasting dower.
Age comes on apace, and sorrow
Cloudi our brightest dreams of bliss;
There are woes in each to-morrow,
Therefore woo the Present's kiss.
While it brightly, briefly lingers
In the lap and clime of truth,
Folget not, Time's relentless fingers
Garners in the field of youth.
In the broad and golden future,
Studded with hopes flowers fair,
Ever strive to cull and nurture,
Truth's implanted blossoms there.
God, with his all seeing vision,
Looking from histhrone above,
Marks the penetient contrition
Of tbe children of his love.
*
Therefore strive beneath afflictions,
Calmly to endure and bear;
Murmur not, but benedictions
Offer in impassioned prayer.
SARTAIN'S UNION MAGAZINE.
ITEW VOLUMS COMMENCING WITH JULY.
This splendid Magazine came iuto the bands of the pre*
gent proprietor« after the publication ot tüe December num
ber of 1846, with a liât of 7000, and auch has been its popu

000 monthly. No Magazine has ever been established that
has increased in its circulation so much in so short a time.—
The proprietors, from the liberal support extended to them,
have made arrangements with artists audcontributors, both
American and European, that will truly make the Magazine
what the "Saturday Courier," in a late number of that ex
cellent paper styled it, "The Blackwood of America:' The
press throughout the country have spoken of it in the high
est praise. We only have space this month for the follow*
ing notices, but have thousands of "the same sort left."
"This is, beyond all comparison, tâe most brilliant of the
three-dollar Magazines, 'hie vigor and ability displayed
in this new Magazine, will surely give it the largest circular

but from the testimony of men of the highest landing here
and elsewhere, ii is mafcing some very remarkable cures of
Consumption." ..... « ». ...
The Rah way Register adds: "We have heard it stated by

LIVERWORT
This plant has for many years been found to be of singu

TAR.
This article is now universally acknoV» ledged to be tbe
most healing and efficient application for diseased or decay
ing lungs, or any portion of the fleshy or musc ular parts of
the human body. Its medicinal aud preservative qualHies
were understood br the Egyptians in the early ages of the
world» and no doubt now exists among scientific men, that
the preparation used in the embalmment of bodies, was
composed principally of this ingredinut. In later ages, it
was found to be in universal use among the uboriginies of
America, and at this day it is their principal, and, in fact,
only medicine for an unsound state of the lungs, or any ap
proach toit. Those who are acquainted with the history of
this hardy race of men, know that a death from 'on tump
tion is unknown among them! The medical faculty in ail
countrMv? appear to have become aware of the great healing
properties of this article, and are vow introducing U into
their practice. Dr. Buchan of Eugi&nd, Dr. Crighton of St.
Petersburg, Dr. La Prieure of Paris, and the distinguished
Dr. Cooper, have been in the habit of combining it with oth
er articles in their prescriptiops, and with entire success.

for the last two years. Her disease baffled the skill of the

ed her disease "consumption in the last stage," and said that
her recovery was past all human hopes. As a last resort,
with very little hope, I proenred Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry. After using a few bottles, I found, to my agreeable
surprise, that her health was improving rapidly. She is now
so far restored as to be able to atteud to her regular house

JUST PUBLISHED, No, 1 of the American
edition of ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL.
While venturing this step in the universal march
of periodicals, let it be understood that 1 am not
anxious to declare myself a menial Joan of Arc,
beating special mission to save the people in their
holy war against ignorance and wrong. I simply
prepare a plain feast where the viands will be of my
own choosing and some of my own dressing. I
hope if what I provide be wholesome aud relish
ing, I shall have a host of friends at my board
whose kind words and cheerful encouragement
will keep me in « proud and honorable position at
the head of the table.
I have been too long known to those whom 1
address to feel strange in addressing them. My ear
liest rhymes, written wilh intuitive impulse befote
hacknied experience or politic judgment could dic
tate their tendency, were accepted aud responded
to by those whose g«od word is a "tower of
strength " The first active breath of nature that
swept over my heart strings awoke wild but earnest
melodies which 1 dotted down in simple notes.—
When 1 found that others thought (he tuue worth
learning—when I heaid my stiains hummed about
the sacred altars of domestic firesides, and saw old
men, bright women and young children, scatftiing
my ballad strains, then was I made to think that my
burning desire to pour out my soul's measure of
music was given me for a puipose. My young
bosom throbbed with rapture, for my feelings met
with responsive echoes from honest and genuine
humanity, and the glory of Heaven seemed par
tially revealed when 1 discovered tnat 1 held power
over the affections of earth.
The same spirit which prompted my first at
tempts will mark, my present one. What I have
done has found generous support; let me trust that
what I may do will still meet the kind hand of help.
I have full confidence in my friends, and believe if
I offer thein the combination of utility and amuse
ment, they will freely lake the wares I bring, and
not think worse of me for tuning freely with ibem
in the market place of activity and labor.
1 am anxious to give my feebie aid to the gigantic
struggle for intellectual elevation now going on.
and fling my energies and will into a cause where
my heart will zeaiouslv animate my duty
It is too true that there are dense clouds of igno
rance yetto be dissipated—huge mountains of error
yet to be removed—but, there is a stirring develop
ment in "the mass" which only requires steady
and free communion with truth to expand itself in
te that enlightened and practical wisdom on which
ever rests the perfection of social and political civ«
ilization; and 1 believe lhat all who work in the
field of literature with sincere desire to save the
many by arousing genuine sympathiefand educa
tional tastes, need make little profession of their
service, for "the people ' have sufficient perception
to thoroughly estimate those who are *.iuly 'with'
and 'for' them.
I only ask a trial. I wiil giv 3 the best my judg
ment can offer from the co-operation of healthy and
vigorous talent and my own continued efforts.
