FIRST PIANO IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS. During the summer following the termina¬ tion of the Blat;k Hawk war—being among the first of the down-east emigrants to (he country then barely evacuated by the red men of the forests Dr. A. of Ballimore, removed lo what has since become a small town near
the Illinois rivet, by thc naine of P .  The
tloctor's family was composed of three young ladies and his wife, all of whom were perfor¬ mers on the piano,' and one of them the pos¬ sessor of the iustrument in quesiion.
As is usually the case in all newly settled places when a "new comer " makea his ap¬ pearance, the neighbors (that were to be) had collected together forihe purpose of seeing the doclor's "piuntler" unpacked, and making the acquaintance of ils possessor.
Dr. A.'s "household" was stowed away in seven large wagons—having been firat packed into pine boxes, on whioh were painted, in large black letters, the contents, address, &c. One wagon after another was unloaded with¬ out much sensation on the part of the little crowd ol lookers-on, exoept an occasional ex¬ clamation similar to.the following, from those who had never seen the like before:
"Glass! This side up with care! Wliy I thought this ere feller was a doetor. What on yearth is he going to do with that box full of winders?"
"This Bide np with care !" exclaimed one. "He's got his paragoric and ile-of-spike Rx'ms in that. Won't he fizic them augur fellows down on the river I"
In the last \yagon (here was but one large bo.'c, and on it were printed the words "Piano Forte—Keep dry and handle carefully." It required the assislance of all lhe bystanders to unload this bct, and the curiosity excited in the crowd upon reading the foregoing words, and hearing ^he musical sounds emit¬ ted as it struck lhe ground, can only be gath¬ ered by giving a few of the expressions that dropped from the spectators.
"Pine fort!''said a tall, yellow haired, fever-and-agne-looking youth; "wonder if he's afeerd of the Injuns "i He can't' scare them wilh a pine fort."
"K-ee-p d-r-y" was spelled by a large, raw- boned man, who was evidently a liberal pat- ion of 'old bald face,' and who broke off at
the letter 'y' with, "D n your temperance
karacturs—you ueedti't come round here with tracts!"
He was interrupted at this point hy a stout- built personage, who cried out—
" He's got his skeletons in thar, and he's afeered to gin them liquor, for they'd break oul ef he does! Poor fellers!—they must suff¬ er powerfully."
"Handle carefully," said a man in a red hunting shirt, and the size of whose fist, as he doubled it up, was twice that of an ordi¬ nary man. "That's some live critter in that. Don't you hear him groan?" This was said as the box struck the ground, and the concus¬ sion caused a vibration of the strings.
No sooner had all hands let go of the box, than Dr. A. was besieged by his neighbors, all of whora were determined to know what were its contents, and what were the mean¬ ing of the words "Piano forle." On his tell¬ ing thera that it was a musical instrument, some "reckoned thatit would take a tarnal sight of wind lo blow it -' others that it "would take a lot of men to make it go!" &c. The doctor explained its operations a.s well as he could, but still his description was anything but satisfactory, and he could only get rid of his inquisitive neighbors by promising a sight at an early pay.
Three days—days that seemed like weeks to the persons above mentioned—elapsed be¬ fore the premises of Dr. A. were arranged for the reception of visitors, and various and cu¬ rious were the surmises a"mong the settlers during this time. Dr. A. and his "plunder," were the only topics of conversation for many miles around.
The doctor's house had but'one lower room, but this was one of double the ordinary size, and the carpets were all too small to cover the eutire fioor; hence a strip of bare floor ap¬ peared at eaeh side of the room. Opposite to and facing the door was placed the "Pine fort." All was ready for the atlmission of vis¬ itors, and Mias E. was to act as the first per¬ former. The docior had but to open the door, and halfa score of men were ready to enter. Miss E. took her seat, and at the first sound¬ ing of the instruraent, the whole party present rushed in. Some went directly up to the "crittur," as it had been called on account of its having four legs—some, more shy, re¬ mained close to the door, where, if necessary, they could more easily make iheir escape; while others, who had never seen a carpet, were observed walking round on the strip of bare floor, lest by treaijing on the "handsome kaliker," they might spoil it!
The first tune seemed to put the whole com¬ pany in ecstacies. The raw-'boned man, who waa so much opposed to temperance traots, pulled out a flask of whiskey, and insisted that the "gal," as he called Mls-s E., should drink. Anoiher of the company laid down a dime, and wanted "that's worth" more of the "Forty pains," as the name of the insirument had come to him after traveling through some five or six pronunciations. Another, with a broad grin on his face, declaring that he "would give his claim and all the truck on it, if his darter could have suoh a cupboard !''— The " pine fort" man suggested that if lhat sort of musio had been in the Black Hawk War, "that would haye skeered the Inguns, like tiU holler!"
It is needless to say that it was late at night' before Miss E.and the other ladiesof the house could satisfy their delighted hearers that they iveie all "tired out." The whole country lor twenty miles around rung wilh the praise ofDr. A.'s "consarn" and the "musical kubburd!" The doctor immediately had any quantity of patienta—all of whom, how¬ ever, would come in person for advice, or for a few "agur pills." With an easy way and agood natured disposition, Dr. A. soon form¬ ed an extensire acquaintance, obtained a good practice and became a popular man. He was elevated to some of tbe most responsible offi¬ ces in the gift ofthe people—one of which he held at the time Sf his death. So much for the charms of a Piano Forte.

CORN AND COB-N MEAL.
A communication signed by a number of merchants and others was recently laid be¬ lbre the Philadelphia Board ot Trade, asking for information as to the most approved meth¬ od of preparing Corn and Corn Meal fore.xpor- tation to foreign countries. The subject was referred to a special Commiltee of the Board, who submitted the following Reporl at a sub¬ sequent meeting:
The Commitlee to whom was referred the Memorial and Queries addressed to the Board of Trade respecting the most approved man¬ ner ol preparing CORN AND CORN MEAL for market, beg leave to report the annexed anawers to lhe questions propounded:
Qucre 1st.—What description of Corn would be beat for the purpose of exportation ?
Answer.—Prime quality yellow round is preferred, and commands, in price, more than any other description—flat yellow usually commands per buahel more than white—the latter in least request.
Q. 2d. What kind of package is best, wheiher barrels, puncheons, or bags—and if the latter, what size 1
A.—Barrels are esleemed tbe best, not only on acconnt of facility in handling, but as com¬ manding more nearly their original value, when emptied—beside, not being liable to have their contents affected when on ship board, as in the case of bags.
Q. 3d.—If manufactured into Meai, is kiln drying a pre-requisite in order to pass inspec¬ tion for exporlation—and if so, what is the best process, and also ils fineness %
A.—Section eight of our Inspection Laws requires "all Meal liable to inspection, shall be made Of kiln dried Corn, and also ground to a due degree of fineness—and be boiled, and cooled, before being packed."
Q. 4lh.—The best manner of packing; that is, wheiher hot or cold; and whether there is any advantage in sifting or bolting, equal to the cost of it ?
A.—The most desirable manner of packing is undoubtedly when cold, or otherwise the Meal would undergo a sweating process in the cask, which must cause it lo sour in a warm climate, or if the barrels are not proper¬ ly seasoned, extract the moisture from the .wood. The remainder of the question is ans¬ wered by reference lo the preceeding reply, quoted the inspection law on the subjeot.
Q. Sth.—What kind of apparatus is consid¬ ered the best for the kiln-drying process—and, if possible, the cost per 100 bushels, or 500 bushels capacity?—aniijinally, any other in¬ formation calculated to be useful to those who may De supposed to be entirely unacquainted with the subject ?
A.—Themost approved apparatus for dry¬ ing is the double sheet-iron pans, or one placed above the other, comraonly kncwn as Grooke's Patent—and which your coramittee are unable to describe, wilh the minuteness neoessary to be of practical service^-the cost of course varies, as to the raanner, and the materials of which the kiln is built—whethe: of wood or brick exteriorly—and wilh soap stone foundations and sills, or fire brick— a less costly material than either. The casks in which meal is packed, must be of seasoned stuff; the staves twenty-seven inohes in length, and the diameter at the head 16i in¬ ches, and contain 196 Ibs.of meal. Particu¬ lar reference should be made to our Inspec¬ tion Laws for full information respecting pen¬ alties for short weight, false tare, &c.

ROADS AND ROAD MAKING. Valuable Knowledge.—Professor Gillespie says in his book on Roads :—"A straight road over an uneven and hilly country may, at first view, when merely set upon the map, ba pro nounced to be a bad road; for the slraightness raust have been obtained either by submilting lo sleep slopes in ascending the hills, and de cending into the valleys, or these natural ob¬ stacles musl have been overcome by incur¬ ring a great and unnecessary expense iu ma¬ king deep cuttings .ind fillings.
" A good road should wind around these hills instead of rnnning over them, and this it may often do witbout at all increasing its length. For if a hemisphere (such as half a bullet) be placed so as to rest upon its plane base, the halves of great circles which joins two opposite points of this base are all equal, whether they pa6s horizontally or vertically. Or let an egg be laid upon a lable, and it will be seen thatif a level line be traced upon it from one end to the other, it will be no lon¬ ger than the line traced between the sarae points, but passing over the top. Precisely so may the curving road around a hill be often no longer than the straight one overit; for the lalter road is straight only with reference to the vertical plane which passes through it, and is curved with reference to a horizontal plane; while the former level road, though curved as to the vertical plane, is straight as to a horizontal one. Bolh lines thus curve, as we call the latter one straight in preference only because its vertical curvature is less ap¬ parent to our eyes.
" The difference in length between a straight road and one which is slightly curved is very small. Ifa road between two places, ten railes apart, were made to curve so that the eye could nowhere see iurther than a quarter of a mile of it at once, its lengih would exceed tliat ofa perfectly straight road between the same points by only about one hundred and fifty yards.
" But even if the level and curved roads were very much longer than the straight and steep one, it would almost always be better to adopt the former; for on it a horse could safely and rapidly draw his full load, while on the other he could carry only part of his load up the hill, and must diminish his speed in descending it. As a general rule, the horizon¬ tal length of a road may be advantageously increased, to avoid sm assent by at least twen¬ ty times the perpendicular height which is to be thus saved : that is, to escape a hill a hun¬ dred feet, it would be proper for the road to make such a circuit as would increase its length two Ihousand feet. The mathematical axiom that "a straight line is the shortest distance between two point-s," is thus seen to T.-i.-DPwcT-irL'- rrnrrv , be an unsafe guide in road making, and less
EXPE^SIVh tOLLl. appropriale than the   paradoxical proverb,
Rev. Mr. Dear, Baptist missionary, slates "^at "the?longest way around is the shortest that the Chinese are supposed to spend (annn-1 way_home." ally?) 3360,000,000, for incense to burn before their idols. T-his is one dollar for every in¬ habitant in the empire, old and young, and it is only for a single item in the support of idol¬ atry.
-Aha!—'.foolish, enough in the celestials to spend their money in such fumigations. But, after all, we—most ol us—make prodigious outlays to please oar idols, too. Some folks make idols of themsel ves, and provide incense for their idols in the shape of costly costume, fashion and frippery—rare fabrics of the loom, silks, satins, feathers ahd jewelry: and think they are doing a proper work in this method of inducing atrophy of the pocket, and com- suinption of the purse. Splenditi furniture, and- expensive houaes, too, form other items of Idolatry. One man idolizes the table—an¬ other does the same by horses. There are worshippers of the dice box; and we have among lis a goodly army of devotees to the bottle—borning mcense before their idols to the destructioa of fortune, fame, comfort, health, happiness. Almoat everybody, like the Chmese, has his " Jos," to.bow down to and to raise a smoke. Well rny dear friend whoever you ate, before you undertsie to
A Pkedicament.—I was one day travelling in Calabria; it is a country of people, who I believe, have not great liking to any body— and are partioularly indisposed towards the Freneh. To tell you why wouldbe a longaf-' fair. Il is enough that they hate us to death,& that the unhappy being whn should fall into their hands would not pass his time in the most agreeable manner-
1 bad for my companion afine young fellow. I do not say this to interest you, but because it is the truth. In these mountains the roads, are precipices, and our horses got on wilh the greatest difRculty. My comrade going a track which appeared more practicable and shorter than the regular path led us astray.
It was my fault. Ought 1 tohave trusted to a head of twenty years? We sought our way outof the wood while it was j'et light, but the more we looked for the path the farther we were off from it. It was a very black night, and we came close upon a very black house.
We went inandnot wiihout suspicion'. But what was to be done? There we found a wbole family of charcoal burners at the table. At the first word they inviled us lo join thera. iMy young man did not "Arait for much ceremo¬ ny. In a minute or two we were eating and drinking in right earnest—he at least. For my own part, I could not help glancing about al the place and the people.—Our hosts, indeed, looked like charcoal burners; but the house, you would have taken it for an arsenal. There was nothing to be seen but muskets, pistols, sabres, knives and cutlasses.
Every thing diapleased me, and I saw that I was in no favor rayself. My comrade, on the contrary, was soon one ofthe family. He laughed, he chatted with them; and wilh an imprudence which ought to have been prevent¬ ed, he at once said wheie he came from, where we were going—that we were Frenchmen.
Think of our situation. Here we were a- mong our mortal enemies, alone, benighted, far frora huraan aid. That nothing might be omitted that could tend to destroy us, he must play the rich man forsooth, promising these folks to pay thera well for their hospitality; and then he must prate about his portmanteau, earneatly beaeeching lhem to lake care of ii and put it at the head of his bed, for he wan- led no other pillow.
Ah, youth, youth, how you are to be pitied! Cousin, tliey might have Ihought we carried the diamonds of the crown—the treasures in hia portmanteau, which gave him snch anxieiy, consisted of the letters of hia mistress.
Supper ended, they left us. Our hosts slept below, we on (he story where we had been eating. In a sort of platform, raised seven or eight feet, where we were to mount by a lad¬ der, was the bed that awaited us—a nest into which we had to introduce ourselves by jump¬ ing over barrels filled with provisions for all' the year.
My comrade seized upon the bed above, and was soon fast asleep, wilh his hands upon the precious portmanteau. I was determined to keep awake, so I made a good fire, and sat myself down. The night was almost passed tranquilly enough, andl was beginning to feel comforlably enough, when just at the tirae when it appeared to me that day was aboutto break, I heard our host and wife talking and disputing below me, and putting my ear into the- chimney, which comraunicated to the room below, I perfectly distinguished these exact worcis of the husband :
' Well, well, let us see: must we kill thera both ?'
To which the wife replied—
' Yes'—and 1 heard no more.
How  shall I tell you the  rest ?    1 could

GREEN MOUNTAIN MAID.
Twas a beautiful spot where the vine-cov¬ ered cot of the mountaineer stood on the edge of the wood. There the forest bird's song echoed all the day long, and thc moun¬ tain streamed played in the edge of the shade, while the graceful young fawn cropped the herbage at dawn frora the wide spreading lawn. 'Twas a beautiful spot—'twas a beau¬ tiful cot, and surely there ne'er was a raaid- en more fair, nor a maiden more rare, than the maid that dwelt there. Shall I picture lhis maid of the greenwood and glade as she was in the day when old 'Allen' held sway, while his lion-nerved men were the pride of the glen? She was neiiher too tall, too short nor loo small nor so light or so airy as the form of a fairy. But the pride of the glade was the rosy cheeked maid, with eyes quite as blue as the summer sky's hue, and tresses of brown floating gracefully down, and nest¬ ling below on a bosom of snow. She could warble and sing like the songsters of spring; she could spin and could sweep, could mow and could reap—could ride the grey steed at the top of his speed,'and had sported a trifle with her old father's rifle. And this boun¬ cing young maid of the evergreen glade was chaste and refined,and she had such a min(l,as you seldom will find among the gay maids of the haughtier grades.
A lover she had who would have been glad to capture her heart by his scheming art.— O'Handy his name, and a dandy by fame, who though wrinkled and parched, was whis¬ kered and starched, and displayed quite a rare and citified air.
Well, he knelt at her feet and began to .en¬ treat, while his great bosom beat with unmer¬ ciful heat; and he told such a lale as he deemed would not fail to make her believed t at he could not deceive.
While thus he knelt pleading, while thus interceding, he thought by her smiling that his words were beguiling. But he found the conclusion a hopeless delusion; for the maid waa unlinking his schmeing—was thinking; and she thought in a twinkling, she'd give him a sprinkling of the well peppered ointment of black disappointment. Ere he drew to a close she turned up her nose, as you raay suppose, just as high as she chose; and scorning his prose, through his pleading she broke,' and thus 'twas she spoke:
'0, great is your fame; O'Handy your narae —frora the city you came, wilh your heart all inflarae; and you thoughi in the shade of the mountain or glade, to caplure a maid by pomp and parade. 0, save all your tears, your hopes and yout fears, your ducks and your dears for aome other ears. All men are agreed you're a nice bird indeed, but your figure's too lean; you're too guant and loo green; and that isnot all, you're excessively tall; your nose is too big, you've a Voice like a pig, and you wear a big wig, while your upper lip seeras just the shade of your drearas. Now my answer you know—there's the door, you may go.'
Still he lingeied to plead his love and his need—and he. boaated and lold of his titles and gold—of her station in life whom he chose for a wife- But he found 'twas no part of a mountainraaid's heart,to bear insult and wrong from an eye or a tongue.
That maid could not brook such word and such look, and she caught down a broom that hung in iTie room, and she hit hira a blow that made the blood flow not gracefully slow.

scarcely breathe; my whole body was as mar-  He lit on all fonr just out of the door all cover- ble ; to have seen me you could not have told I ed with gore.    Then he sprung to his feet, and
whether I was dead or alive. Heavens! when I think upon it ! we two were almost wiihout arms; against us were twelve or fifteen who had plenty of weapons. And then, ray com¬ rade dead of sleep and fatigue. To call him up, to make a noise was more than I dared; to escape was an impossibility.
The window was not very high, but under it were two great dogs, howling like wolves. Imagine, if you oan, the distress I was in.
At the end bfa quarter of an hour—which seemed an age—I heard some one on the stair-case, and through the chink of the door 1 saw' the old raan, with the larap in one hand and one of his great knives in the other. He mounted, his wife after hira; I was behind lhe door—^he opened il; but before he came in he put down the lamp, which his wife tonk up; and coming in with his feet naked, she being behind him, said ina smothered voice, hiding the light partially with her fingers :—
' Gently, go gently.'
When he reached the ladder he mounted, with his knife between his leeth; and going to the head of the bed, where the young man lay wilh his throat uncovered, with one hand he took his knife, and with the other—oh my cousin, he seized a ham which hung from the roof, cut a slice, and retired as he carae in.— The door is re-shut, the light vanished, and I am left alone to my reflections.
When the day appeared, all lhe faraily with agreat noise came lo arouse usas we had de¬ sired. They brought us plenty to eat—they served us a very proper breakfast, a capital breakfast 1 assure you. Two capons formed part of il, ' of which,' said the hostess, ' you must eat one, and carry the other away.'
When I saw the capons I at once compre¬ hended the meaning of those terrible words, ' Must we kill them both ?'—Leliers of Paul Louis.
considered it sweel to beat a retteat, to cover defeat, and he fled from the place in shame and disgrace—disappeared o'er the green and was never more seen—and ever since then city dandified men have learned to beware of the Green Mountain Fair.

GOOD BUTTER.    .
' Is your butter good ?' said I to the farmer.
'Good!' my wife has made butter these twenty years and 1 shonld think she ought'to know how to raake good butter by this tirae.
He was evidently offended.
' Well, let us e.xamine it.' The cover was taken off the tub; the clean white cloth, (which had been wet in brine,) rolled up, and the yellow treasure revealeil. It certainly did look good.
'It tastes sweet, but how very salt it is.'
'We always make our butter salt to have it keep at this season.'
' Let us see if the buttermilk is as well work¬ ed out as the salt is in.'
Some of the rolls were pressed down with the ladle.
' Now my friend, if yonr wife has made but¬ ler these twenty yeais, she does not know how to raake good; for no buiter can be good until the buttermilk is worked out. If lhat is done, you need not salt it so much lo have it keep %vell in any place, A very little care and labor would have made this butter excellent; but lacking that little, it is only a second qual¬ ity, as you shall acknowledge, when I sno,v you a sample of good butter.
We went iu and I took up a roll from a crock of first rate butter. It was smooih, clear and handsorae; the hand of woman had not been on it from the time it had left the churn until now, all the work had been done with the ladle.
' If yon get a drop of buttermilk from that butter you shall have the whole free.'
If there is any better sense than the follow¬ ing, afloat in this week's cargo for oblivion, we have not seen it. Read, oh, spendthrifts and successors to Treasurer Walker:—'There is nothing like a good clear balance-sheet for bringing a prodigal to his senses. Spending money is so easy and delightful an operation lhat it is no wonder if raen are sometimes in¬ sensible to the rapidity with which itjgoes on. It is so pleasant to get what we want and each particular item is of itaelf so inaignificant, that the coat, one fancies, can make no great dif¬ ference at the year's end. But the heaping up of single stones forms the pyramid, and when the iterap are gone through, there coraes the sum total, which" is occasionally a not less surprising result of aggregation. The only difficulty is to get the spendthrift to look at lhe figures. Let him once see plainly what he has topay, and what he has to fay\with. If a grain of coramon sense remains, he sets about retrenchment. Nations do pretty much as in divlduals do in this respeot,except that it takes a longer and more bitter experience to cure them of lheir folly. Indeed it unfortunately happens that countries like Great Britain, pre eminent for the prudence and regularity- of their private transactions, are the incorrigible squanderers of public funds. Their tempta¬ tions to improvidence are in proportion to their credit; and if any strong popular passion for fighting, acquisition, or benevolence is to be gratifiedjGovernmentshave every possible en¬ couragement to purchase the expensive article and let the bill be sent in at a future day.— The day of payment comes at last, and with it, painful but wholesome resolutions.'

For the cure of Incipient Coiuiumptionj Chronic  Cntnrrh Asthina, Bronchitis, Obstinate Covgh, Liver Com¬ plaint, Spitting af Blood, Palpitation of tke Hearty and all hindred diseases of the  respirative organs.
THIS PREPARATION, now so extensively used, h:is no parallel, aa an efiicient remedy, in the class ot dia eases for which it is applicable. Its peculiar cnmposition enablea it to act in a kindly manner upon diseased organs; soothing the irritation, quieting the coiigli and inducing an easy expectoration, thus fieeing the Inngs and air vessels from offensive matter, which otherwise would aggravate disease, and ultimately reault iu confirmed conoumption.

PinLADELPHIA. Dec. 13,1840. Mr. S. P.

I at last resolved to try your Compound Syrup of Tar; before I had fiuished the second Ijoille, I was greatly relieved. 1 am now nearly through the third bottle, nnd I cnn^-ider my- lelf entirely cured, nud this result I attribute solely lo the nse of your valuable medicine. 1 slnte this that otiiers similarly aBected,may resort to tbe s-imc menns for cure.

I do not say too much, and well aliesio' facts bear vie out, when I say your Compound Svn tn* OF Tar has, through Providence, literally raised mtfrutn adealh'bed.
Last fall I contracted a severe cold, which resulted iu violent inflamation of the lungs, which threw me into a rapid decline, with a rucking cough, spitting of blond, pal¬ pitation of the hean nnd oppression; and at the time the circulation seemed suspended, a coldness would come over me, and I felt that my powers of life were fast giving away. Nothing I took benefitted me, my stomach and bowels being completely deranged, nnd my physicians gave me up, saying I was pnst help and musl dic.
Mr. Vickers, one of the undersigned, called to see me and kindly brought me a bottle of your mediciue, but found me in a.dying stale; he left ihe medicine, however, and 1 so far revived as 10 swallow with great difficulty a tea¬ spoonful, and astonishing indeed waa its effocts. Bfilore taking my Srst bottle, I threw off my luugs large quiuni- tieiof corrupt matter, which releived me wonderfully and enabled my lungs to beal. The disense was completely arrested, and tn your invaluable mediciue alone, I owe my restoration to health. For some time I had charge of the Jefferson T. A.

VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS
Are a Strengthening Purgative and a Purifyivg Tonic.
TIIE hopes  ofihe   American agenig  are  far more than realized, hy the succesa of DR. LE KOY'S VKGETABLEtlNIVERSALPILLS on lhis side of the Allanlic. Never did a medicine spring into such immediaie popularity.    In loss than three months Eight Thousand Boxes have hccn disposed of;  and certificates  of cures per- .ormcd by lhem from upwards of Four Hundred persons.   The cures embraced a great number of diseases;   let those which predominate were Bil¬ ious Fever, Co;.n, Hahifjal Costiveness, Dyseniery Loss of Appetite,   I'latulence, Worn?a, ond Low¬ ness of Spirits.    All pGr?ijn3 who take lhem agree that thcy are arc superior to ?vcry other medicine thcy had used, in  the miidnciis, the  energy,  and the efficacy of their action ; for Ihougli they pro¬ duce neither gripe or nauseo, they  act  upon the secretions with great directness, force, and rapid¬ ity ; and as a purgative leave notliing to be dcuir- cd.    But their sreat  peculiar excellence, and that which distinguishes them   from all other  purga- tivcf" ia, lhat their operation ia followed  by no re¬ action.   Thcir unrivalled   purifying and purga¬ tive properties, for which they  are indebted to the essence ofSarsaparilla, and other ing'redient9,being controled   by their higlily tonic virtues,  derived from the extract of Wild Clierry, thej do not strain the   digestive organs into aciion, as the  mode of operation with other catharlice, but on thc contrary Btrcnpthcn them into action.    Thus all other pur¬ gativo medicines produce more or lesa subsequent costiveness, and sluggishness of thc  gastric juice, while Dr. Le Hoy's Pills leave all the machinery of the syslem fuil oflife and aciiviiy, and thc bow¬ els   open .and   natural.    "Hence," writes   Dr Cheesman, "they  are the  only   active  purgative which I can recommend with confidence, and with¬ out alarm;   for ihey remove  nothing   hut  what ought to  be removed—neither rack, nor strain— occasion no apathy or debilitation—and leave the bowels free, opon^ and vigotous."    Butthe great virluR which has spread thcir famo over the two hemiFpheres with a rapidity almost miraculous— lies in their purification of ilic blond.    Here thcy not only stand altocclher unrivalled,but fill up the measure of desire.    They at  once arreat the for¬ mation of had hlood, by   removing all mipurities from ihc chyle, of which the bluod is formed; and strenglhing thc digestive organ.^j, so qs to be able lo exclude from ttall matter ofan innutricious nature; and then they   purify the blood already   in circu¬ lation ; nnd never cease operation until it is entire¬ ly free every noxious particle,  and full of health, life, and vigor.    The    wonderful virtues or Dr. Le Roy'a Pills as puriljcr of the blood, render them the bestof known rcmcdios in disease ofthe skin. In fact, so powerfull is their heailhy mfluence on the vital fluid, that their effect may be seen almost as soon as felt;   for all persons taking them give speedy evideNce oftheir  benefibial operationsin this respect,hythe brightness of the eye, and the clcarneBfloflhecomplection ;they also feel i?. strong flow of nnimal spirits—ti consequence thnt can on¬ ly the result of pure blood,  without which  there can bc neither health or   comlort in  the  human system.

THE WARM WEATHER.
The sudden changes of the weather, during this season of the year, exhibit a moat baneful effect on the human sydtem, dcliiltiatingautl prostrating-it.—Thc stomach nud Imwel3 become deranged, giving timely notice to all, who arc inclined lo give attention lo the waruing voice of na¬ ture. At such times "Jayne's Carminative" never fails to afford imraediaje relief, checking the disease and re¬ storing lhe paiieni to vigorous health. Mothers cannoi be too cautions with their children during lhia monlh,and the monili following, and in the earliest stages of this summer disease, whether from tcethingj oppressive heat, or other causes, they should al once resort to this never failing rem¬ edy. Hundreds of certificatcfi from respectable persons in this ciiy, are in possession of the proprietor, ready to exhibit to all who may desire to see them al his office, No. SSnuih Third street Philadelphia.
LIFE! LIFE!! LIFE?!! " All that a man hath will hc give for his life," so we find record lu the most ancient and besi of hooks, bui as we see thousands dying around us wilh Consumption, Croup, Cough, Asthma, Bronchiiis, Spitttfig BIno*l, and other Pulmonary affections, wftarc led to doubt the cor¬ rectness of the abovo aasertion, especially since it is so well known that a cerlaiu remedy may be obtained, which always arresi those diseases.
Dr. JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT never fails to givere- Hef, and cures after every other means have failed.— This can be and has been proved iu tliousands nf instan¬ ces, where it has effected rmlicil vures, after the paiiaQt had been given up byall his friends and physicianji For snle by JOHN F. LONGf
