MATERNAL AFFECTION.
Woman's charms arc very many and pow
erful. The expanding rose jusi bursting into
beauty, has an irresistable charm ; the youth
,ful bride led triumphantly to the hymeneal
altar, awakens powerful feelings of interest
and the blush of her cheek (ills the beholder
with delight but the charm of maternity is
much more sublime than all these. Heaven
has imprinted on a mother's face something
beyond this earth, something which claims
kindred with the heavens; the angelic smile,
the loving look, the watchful eye, which keeps
its fond vigil over her slumbering babe ; these
are the objects which no artist can touch,
which poetry fails to exalt, which the most
.eloquent tongue cannot eulogize, and on which
description becomes ineffective. In the heart
of man lies this lovely picture ; it lives in his
sympathies, it reigns in his affections ; his eye
looks in vain for such another object on earth.
Maternity, delightful sound ; so entwined
around our hearts, that they must cease to throb
ere we can forget it. 'Tis our first love ; 'tis
part of our religion. ' Nature has set the moth
er upon such a height that our infant eyes and
arms arc first uplifted to it; we cling to it in
the meridian of life; we almost worship it in
old age. He who can enter the abode of a
family and behold the tender babe feeding on
its mother's beauty nourished by the tide of
life which flows through her veins, without a
panting bosom and a grateful eye, is void of
those feelings which characterize the man of
sentiment and generous affections. He who
can approach the cradle of sleeping innocence,
without reflecting that "of such is the kingdom
of heaven," or view the delighted mother hang
over its beauties, and half retain her breath
lest she should break its slumbers without a
veneration beyond all common feelings, pos
pesses a heart which none ought to envy, and
6hould be avoided in every intercourse of life.
Providence Courier.
Death. The first conviction that there is
death in the house, is perhaps, the most awful
moment of youth. Wheu we arc young, we
think that not only ourselves, but that all
about us are immortal. Until the arrow has
struck a victim round, our hearth, death is
merely an unmeaning word; until then, its
casual mention has stamped no idea upon our
brain. There are few, even among those least
suspected of thought and emotion, in whose
hearts and minds the first death in the family
does not act as a very powerful revelation of
Ihe mysteries of life and of their own being;
.there are few who, after such a catastrophe, do
not look upon the world and the world's ways,
at least for time, with changed and tempered
feelings. It re.cals the past, it makes us pon
der over the future ; and youth, gay and lisht
Iiearted youth, is taught, for the first tijneto
regret and fear,
CHRISTMAS.
"Ah, this was wont to beo festal time. '
In days gone by I I can remember well k.'
The old familiar melodies that, rose,
At break of morn from all our.raoss-clad hills,
To welcomo in each Christmas.. Never. since
Hath music seemed so sweet. Bui tho.light
hearts,
"Which. to those measures heal so iovouslv.
Are tamed to stillness now., There is'no voice
91 ipy through all (lie land."
For th Phoenix.
TO A FRIEND.
Remember Me.
When morning beams with splendour bright,
In glory doth arise,
And sprinkle o'er with rosy light, j
The fair nnd tranquil skits 5
When musick's notes are chanted forth,
And heard from ev'ry tree,
In this gay hour of nature's mirth,
My Friend remember me.
And when you walk among the bow're,
Which Nature gay hath made,
And cull their fairadorniug flow'rs,
Or recline in their shade J
While you, with Nature thus engage,
And all her beauties see,
Let fancy point to rnem'ry's page,
There read remember me.
And when the beauties of the day
Are past, and night have come,
And ourlain'd round the bright and gay,
With sad and pensive gloom ;
Then, as before the Altar's ahrine,
You humbly bend the knee,
And supplicate for grace divine,
O I then remember me. Junius.

Strange if True. The Boston TranscriM
relates that in the House of Correction at
South Boston, on the 27th ujt., an Irish wo.
inun gave birth to n child while asleep in
her cull. She declares positively, that she
knew nothing about it until nwnkened bv
tho infant's cries I When thu door was o
pened by the watchman, she came out and
walked up three flight of stairs to tho hospi
tal, without the east inconvenient, dnrdiir.
ing that she felt quiie well.
Here is nnolher marvellous account from
tho Boston Medical Journal, no doubt equal
ly true "There is n child in the town of
Scituate, Mass. between 10 nnd 12 years of
age; who was born without either arms or
legs, with the single exception -of n little
member resembling a part of a fina-er. with
the first joint on the left shoulder, with which
u can upon n box, or pick up a cent. He
rolls himselfiibout like u ball', with facility;
has n good countenance, good health, and an
intelligent mind, constantly improving at
school." What a funny siuht it would be to

ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
FELLOW CITIZENS: At a time like
the present, when our country is literally flood
ed with nostrums brought from foreign climes,
you may perhnps think it an net of temerity in
'us to oiler, os u candidate for your favor and
patronage, a Medicine which is strictly Amer
ica!. Common sense, however teaches us,
that those herbs which spring spontaneously
from our native soil, must be better adapted to
our constitutions llinubrfipn medicines, how
ever useful tho latter may have been in the
countiies lo which they belong. The climate
of the United Stales stands unrivalled for the
production of medicinal plants, and a very little
investigation will sullice to convince the most
nkeplir.nl Hint our otrn country is able to sup
ply all our wants, independent of foreign as
sistance. In bringing n medicine before the public for
the first tune, it is generally thought necessary
toimpres8 the people with an idea of the diffi
culties encountered in its discovery, or the on
tiquity of its origin; thus une tells us that his
medicine is " a newly discovered chemical
compound, the result of many years' intense
stuaii and scientific research ;" and another
i ascrioes the honor lo somebody's Graadta-
Tiir.ii, He rowt as the success ol a medicine
must depend on ils own intrinsic merits, and
not on the time or manncr.in which it was dis
covered, we cannot sec the use of falsifying, for
the puqtose of investing ils origin with ficti
tious antiquity. Such auxiliaries arc not need
ed on the present occasion, as a single dose of
the Indian Purgative will sullici- to convince
every invalid (and lo such only we look for an
impartial vrrdict) that ils curative effects are
incalculably superior to those of any other med
icine now in use. Proud of thia superiority,
we tcorn fictitious old, but give it to the world
for what it i.i.SI PM LV A compound of FOUR
SIMPLE HERBS, used for the cure of dis
e.w, bv THE COPPER CC LORED WAR
RIORS OF THE WEST. Oncofthc herbs
is an expectorant, one a sudorific, one a diu
retic, and one a cathartic. The proper com
bination of the above forms a medicine, of such
EFFICACY and POWER as has been hith
erto unknown in the art of heuling. Its mode
of curing ii first to neutralize all putrefactive
matter in the body; wcond to cause the exnul-
' sion ol the same through the proper outlets,
' provided bv nature for that purpose; consc-
1 ' -.1..?. . " ..?.. . . . it. .1 ,
ijucmuj in (iciiiiu 1 3 uoi ciiiiiini-ii iu me noweis,
although it is greatest there, but extends to the
nostrils, throat, salivia! glands, lungs, ekiu and
kidney.
Each of the above drains is intended by na
ture for the discharge of an excretion or impu
rity peculiar to itself, and although we may for
a time compel the constitution to evacuate the
whole through one drain, such treatment can
not fail to derange the mechanism of the oodv,
oiid utterly ruin the health of the patient. I t
is true that all diseases ari?e from impurities of
the blood, but it is also true 'that nature has
provided many different channels for the dis
charge of these impuiitio; therefore we are
not likely to benefit the patient by trampling
on the laws ofnature, in biinging all the dif
ferent kinds of excretory matter through one
channel; hence the cviiol allempting to cure
all diieose.1 by a course of sweating, or vomit
ing, or physicing, or any oilier method which
opens only one class of excretories.
No medicine deserves to be called a Univer
sal Remedy unless it's effects exteiid to each and
every one of the natural drains, and this pow
er is not even claimed by nny medicine except
Ihe Indian Purgative. In accordance with
these several properties, the operation of the
Indian Purgative is regulated by the state of
the patients body. Thus, if the olistructing
matter is lodged in the urinal exctelorics.Jt
will act ns n diuretic: if in the bronchia! ves
sels or pulmonary excretories, it will induce ex
jitctoiiition; ifin the cells of the cellular mcm
broneor excretories of Ihe skin, n irpntl,. nmlr.
fectuul perspiration will be kept up; and, under
every combination of ciicuiiiblances, it will act
more or less as n cathartic. Here it is proper
to remaik, that allhounh the nunraiivi! ahvnra
induces an increased numlier of alvine evacua
tions, and is capable of overcoming the most
obstinate cases of rostiveness, it does not raise
n " hurricane" in the boweln, nor woste the
healthy juices by over-action. Its effects ex
tend to every pa.tt of the system, and for that
reason arc not liable to ovcr'action in any part.
The inestimable value of a medicine" which
will act on all the excretories, at one anilitho
same tune, is more apparent when we reflect
that the human body is n complicated machine,
consisting of numberless different and, distinct
members, all of which are so intimately con
nected, nnd mutually descendant, that no ope
part, can bo injured witljout producing a cor
responding degree of injury on every other
part: therefore, one nnn ifiln. Kn.t., i,
diseased, nnd another part healthy; neither can
one part he cured while another part remnina
disposed. Disease becins in tlin htnivt nn.l ...
the blood flows to every nart nl il,n Lium
every part of the BVstem must become more or
iws diseased; no disease is cured unless ilm
cause is removed, and to remove the cause wo
r i i rc ,,lu bl(MHl to 0 ""lthy state, and
if the blood is made healthy, every part of tho
body ' mull be the same.
We have now illustrated llm
dian sysitem of pracice, nnd the more it is in
vesligateil ihe more reasonable it oppears as
regards its truth, we have only to reflect that it
was taueht by Nature, and therefore mutt be
true. When the body stands in need of nour
ishnienl, we are impelled bv hunger to eat; anil

that il wo lived in a stntn nl' nntnr.. tl.iu
PROPER MKDICINE: hence tho superior!
iy oi me Hunan system. The nrt or healing
was first learned in (he woods, and to this day
the untutored savago is the best medical teach
er; lor the Indian practice is the only one which"
is consonant to Hiosi !ternal and immutable
laws which govern tho nnimal economy.
