Addressed to East-Land Division 332, Sons of Temperance, who were lately presented with an elegant Bible, by the ladies of the neighborhood, at a Temperanoe Harvest Home.
BY DK. EDWARD CH.^NDLEE.
Tvyz—" B,-uee's Address."
So.Ns ot Temperanoe early rise, E'er the morn illumes the skies; Health will sparkle in your eyes.
Free from langor, free from pain. On the crystal fountain's brink. Bathe your face, and freely drink, Aqua-pnra,—break each link.
Binding brandy's servile chain.
Touch not, taste or handle now, Juice of grape, to stain your brow ; Victory claims your solemn vow,
Alcohol in battle slain. Through your hearts pure blood will flow. Vigor through each system glow, While your joyous feelinga know,
Pleasure thrilling every vein.
Woman's love in every clime. Changeless as unchanging time. Filling earth, with joy sublime,
Claims from you that victory won. Happy when her influence draws. Friends, so dear, to join the cause, Binding ^rOT, in virtue's laws.
Father, husband, brother, son.
Dear lo her the happy home. When her loved ones cease to roam, Lost in wine's delirious foam,
Leave, then leave its baneful wiles, Gather where alone is found. Pure, domestic joys abound, Love's endearing circle round,
Sweet, as her approving smiles.
O'er each page her gifl divine, Gospel truths forever shine ; Read, and ponder every line,
Lo ! Jehovah's word is there. Love yout neighbor—mercy too ; Banish ever, from your view. Slander, strife, and all their crew,
Make yonr Hall a house of prayer.
Firm let your division prove. Void of scorn before us move. Glorious theo, the cause you love.
Built substantial, brighl, and fair ; Ardent spirits, cast aside. All things temperate else beside, This for inotto, be your guide.
Sons of Temperance every where.
Mr. Van Buren,'s Jiitiick on the Freedom of the Presn.
Mr. Van Buren, as Vice President of the Union, was once President of the Senate. Previous to the election of 1836, a bill was inlroduced into the Senate of the United States to author ize Postmasters to open the mails and take out any matter relating to aboli tion, whicll in their opinion should be thought of an incendiary character.— Mr. Calhoun forced the measure to see how far Mr. Van Buren would go in subserviency to the South. At the mo¬ ment of the passage of the bill, the Vice President was not in his seat. The vote was a tie. 'Where,' shouted Mr. Calhonn, 'is the Vice President?"— The^glow of exultation at having cor¬ nered the Magician was visible in ev¬ ery lineament of the face of the South Carolina agitator. The Vice President takes his seat, and gives his casting vote infavor of the censorship of the Press in this enlightened couniry !— And why did he do. it ? Because Southern votes were required to make him President, and the South must be propitiated.
Here is a man quite worthy of sup¬ port by the friends of liberty ! ! !
Berks County.—The Whigs of Reading had a great ratification meet¬ ing on Saturday evening last. The nomination of Gov. Johnston was hailed with enthusiasm. David F. Gordon, Esq. presided, and addressed the meeting in a neat and impressive manner. He was followed by Dr Luther, Mr. Meredith, (of Chester county,) Dr. Eckert, Mr. Wyncoop, (of Schuylkill,) and Jacob Hoffman, Esq, The speakers were often interrupted by the cheers of the crowd, and the meeting adjourned witii nine cheers for Taylor, Fillmore, Johnston and Mid¬ dleswarth.
CtJ-CANDiD Admission.—Gen Caleb Cushing in addressing the Cass men at Boston, the other day, admitted, as all locos must, that Gen. Taylor is an hon¬ est man. Well, let us have an hone.st man for President and he will conduc' the affairs of the nation in an honorat ble and upright manner. "An honest man's the man we want."
(KtMoee Bolting.—The German paper printed iu Herman, Missouri and which lias heretofore been an earn¬ est and most effective advocate of the Locofoco party, has taken down the name of Cass and Butler !
Chester County. The Whigs of this county held their Convention on Tuesday last, and nominated the fol¬ lowing candidates :—Congress, Jesse C. Dickey.;. Senate, H. Jones Brooke ; Assembly, Henry S. Evans, Thomas K. Bull, and David J. Bent. Prothon- atory, Samuel B. Thomas; Register, Wm. Baker, Edward Hebberd, Clark Williams. ~
Searching   Interrogtilories.—The Albany   Journal   asks the following questions :—I. Did Gen. Cass write a leiter from Washington on the 1 Tth of July, 1847, addressed to a gentleman in Michigan ?    2. Did  that letter, if Written, contain any reason for aban¬ doning the Wilmot Proviso.?    3. If so, were those reasons substantially   as fo lows -.-.That the adoption of the Wilmot Proviso, at that time, would injure the   Administration—kill   the Democratic party—prevent the acqui¬ sition of any additional tevritory-and lead to the ^Ylthholding of supplies and the termination of the war"    Will the Union deny that any such letter was written.    5. Will  Gen.   Cass permit

Come all yoti good Whigs of the Union,
And Democtats, list to our sons, We're going for oldEough and Ready, And wonltilike to have all go along. So fare you well old Cass & Butler,
So fate you well Jemmy Polk, too, We're going for old Rough and Ready, And kindly we bid you adieu ! We helped you to elect Geoeral Jackson,
We voted for old Matty Van, And for Polk, bat we now tell you, plainly, Your Cassea we never can stand. So fare you well, &c. When Cass feather'd his nest up in Michigan,
But liule we heeded him then ; Tho' we tho't him far worse than a heathen, When he went for the sale of while men. So fare you well, &c. When Cass led the flunks in the Senate,
Receiving eight dollars a day, He thought he would be mighly saving, By clipping »he volunteers' pay. So fare you well, &c. Your Cass, too, was lately at Cleveland,
Surrounded by hundreds of boys ; But when asked about Rivers and Haibors, He could'nt be heard for the noise. So fare you well, &c. Then come every friend of the Union, Come old men, and come ye b'hoys, Let's go it for old Rough and Ready, Who never was soared at a noise I
Then fare you well old Cass &. Butler, And fare you well Jemmy Polk, too, We're going for old Rough and Ready; To show what the People can do.
Th« Trade in Child Murder.—The Lon¬ don press is calling attention to the poisonings which have become a practice among certain classes of the English population, for the sake of gain, by frauds on insurance ofiices and buiial clubs; and shows reason for sup¬ posing that Ihe known cases are but a lew in¬ stances of a crime whioh is to a wide extent undetected, especially in the factory districls. At Pieston, where there are 23,000 members enrolled in the two burial societies, statistics suggest a very dark suspicion. Only healthy children are accepted for enrollment, and si.v- leen weekly payments ate exacted before the benefit can accrue to the person who enrolls a child; accordingly, between Ihe ages of two months and six months, the morlalily among children enrolled, is less Ihan that among the unentered children o( the general populalion; but after six monihs it is grealer; that is, the healthier children, who are insured, die off faster than the uninsured and sickly.
" The average amount granted at death," says the London Daily News, " is belween eight and nine pounds; and it is not unfre- quent lo hnd that an infant is enrolled in three or four different burial clubs, so that the pre¬ mium for its death becomes as much as twen- ly pounds. In the manufacturing districts where the raolher of a family is working in a Iaclory, theinfants are entrusted lo hired nur¬ ses who oflen lake charge of the children of several families at the same time. Now il is by no means rare to find these hired nur ses speculating on the decease of their charg es by enrolling them in burial clubs, in the expectation that a speedy death may ensure a large relurn for investment.
It is unnecessary to allude lo the easy melh ods by which Ihis gambling speculation may be realized, for negligent treatment, wilh the aid.of Godfrey's cordial, will aoon terminate the life of a child, under circumstances in which criminal intention could not be con¬ strued. These pecuniary inducements to neg¬ ligent treatment act upon the parents them selves. The chaplain of Preston jail meniions the case of the sickness of a child of a nurse who, being offered by her sympathising mis¬ tress the services of her own medical man, de¬ clined them on the ground of the enrollment of the child in two burial clubs, and ibe con¬ sequent gain by its death.
This systematic child murder appears too horrid for belief, but unquestionable facts prove that it is, alas, loo true.

Love at the First Sight.—There is not a greater fallacy in love than thai of a young lady believing herself in love at first sight Ask her (wo years afterwards whatahe thinks of her passion ! We may be prepossessed in an individual's favor, bul real lasting love is of slow growih, and it can be nourished only by the virtues of the one preferred. Every thing else that goes by the name of ' love ' is false, and will come lo a sad end.
Lots of Game.—A few days ago a steam¬ boat slopped at a landing somewhere in Ar¬ kansas to wood. A cuslomer on board the boat took his gun and stepped on shore, hop¬ ing Ihat during the hour they were likely lo stop he might bag a tew birds. After travel¬ ing a fewTods he came across a rough looking fellow, andthe following dialogue ensued :
'Howare ye?'
'How are you, slranger?' replied the Arkan¬ sas man.
'Have you any game in these parts !'
' 0 yes, plenty on 'em.'
'What sort of game's'
' Well, most any sort, but principally Brag and Poker."
Sharp Shooting.—A shallow-headed cox¬ comb, having received a pertemptory nay in answer from a young lady to whom, in spile of the most signiScant hints thai his atten¬ tions were nol agreeable, he had "popped the question,'' declared that " he wouldn't live— he would blow his brains out I"
'"Twill be a glorious shot if you hit Ihem'' she said, as she lurned upon her heel con¬ temptuously, and left the roAm.
CtJ- ' Does the Court undersland you lo say, Mr. Jones, that you saw the edilor of the ' Augur of Freedom" into.\icaled V
'Not at all, sir; I merely said thai I have seeh him so flurried in his mind that he would undertake lo cnt copy wilh the snuffers—that's all.'
K?" Why' is a spendthrift's purse like a Ihunder-oloud ? Because it keeps continually lighl'ning.
Q:^ A person, in public company, accusing the Irish naiion wilh being the most unpol¬ ished in the world, was answered mildly by an Irish gentleman, 'thatit ought to be other¬ wise, for the Irish meet with hard rubs enough lo polish any nation on earth."
Repartee.—The late Rev. Dr. Isaac was both a great wag and a great smoker.
" 'There you are," cried a young lady, who surprised him one day wtth a pipe in his moulh, " at your idol again."
"Yes, madam," replied he, " burning il."

ITS WORKS PRAISE IT!
BORNS, SCALDS, AND ALL KINDS OF INFLAMED SORES
fOUSEY'S Universal Ointment, ia the most complete burn antidote ever known. It instant ly (and as if by magic) stops pains of the most des perate burns and scalds. For old sores, Tjruises, cuts, sprains, &c., on man or beast, it isthe beat application that can be made. Thousands have Iried, and thousands praise ii. Il is the most per¬ fect masier of pain ever discovered. All who use recommend 11. Every family should be provided wilh It. None can lell how soon some of ibe fami¬ ly will need it.
Observe each box of the genuine Oiniment has the name of S. "Tousey written on the oulside label. To imitaie this is forgery.
Boatmen, livery men, farmers, and all who use horses, will find ihia ointment the very best thing they can use for collar galls, scraiches, kicks, &c. on their animals. Surely every merciful man w-ould keep his animals as free from pain aa possible.— Tousey's Universal Ointment is all thai ia required. Try il.
Bites of Insects.—For the sling or bile of poi¬ sonous Insecls, Tousey's oiniment ia unrivalled.— Hundreds have Iried it and found it good.
Piles Cured.—For the piles, Tousey's Univer¬ sal Oiniment is one of the best remedies ihat can be applied. All who have tried il for the piles re¬ commend il.
Old Sores Cured.—For old, obsiinale sores, there is noihing equal to Tousey's ointment. A peraon in Manlius had, for a number of yeara, E sore leg that baffled the skill of the doctors. "Tou¬ sey's ointment was recommended by one of the vis¬ iling physicians, (who knew ila great virtues,) and two boxes produced more benefit than the patient had received from any and all previous remedies. Let all Iry it.
Burns and Scalds Cured.—Thousands of ca¬ sesof bums and scalds, in oil parts of the country, have been cured by Tousey's Universal Ointment

FOR the disposing of their choice GREEN aiid BLACK TEAS, oi' the latest imporiations, would very respectfully invite a call from country merchamsand others visiting our ciiy.
Our Teas are of llie finest quality, and very fra¬ grant, having been selected with the greatest care and at unusually low prices.
For the Country Trade they will be packed in i, ^, or 1 lb. packages, if preferred ; thus furnishing two advantages :—1st. No loss in draught. 2d. An assortment of Teas for a very small amount of cap- tal. The latter particularly of advantageto persona of moderate means, and whose sales of the article are limited.
Our determination is to avoid all unnecessary ex¬ pense that will have a tendency to increase the cost of our Teas, hence the present course of Circular Leiters to the trade, instead of TraveUng Agents, a practice pursued by some of our cotemporaries, a very great expense. These agents must be paid whether they make salesor not. With the advan¬ tages we possess of procuring Tea, and a close ap¬ plication to business, to say noiliingof attending to our own business, and not trusting it to others, mus ultimately Insure us a share ofyour custom.

THE NIAGAKA SHOWERBATH.
An entirely new article for Shower Bathing, to ith.Cold or If'ann Water, ^ GREAT and important improvement ia made •^ in this Shower Bath over all others, by throw¬ ing the water immediately onthe body without wet- ting the head, unless at the will or pleasure of tho bather; but n greater point is gained by being ena¬ bled 10 bathe with warm water, which no oiher Shower Bath is adapted to—and most important of, all, the Bath can be medicated without injury to the hair.
Many peraons cannot take a cold hath—their case is met in this, as ihey can regulate the temperature of the water lo suit iheir wish and commence bath- ingat any season ofthe year without any unpleasant result. Ladies can have the advantage of bathing wilhout welting the head or covering the same.
The arrangements are simple and complete, and not liable tn gel out of order. The Bath can be ad¬ justed to suil any heighth, from a small child to ihc tallest person. When the door is closed, the fix- lurea are hid and the outside appearance is that of a neat piece of furnilure.
They have received the approbation of several medical gentlemen—othersare requested to coll and examine ihem.

COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY. Of all the remedies of the day, and they are a greaty variety, which profess to be of great value to the human family, we hesitate not to pronounce Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry as one of the greatest discoveries of modern science. Of all the many compounds put forth for the cure of diseases which affect human na¬ ture, not one remedy could be named which has in so short a space.of time acquired such un¬ bounded confidence withthe public, andhas per¬ formed such miraclous cures; and has merited and received so much eulogium from Uie faculty and others, as this jusly celebrated remedy. Be Carefnl of your Coldy. Many people aro very apt to consider a cold but a trifling matter, and think that * it will go away of itself in a few days,' and they give them¬ selves no troubltj about it. But to such we would say, * be careful of your colds,' do not tamper with your consitutions. If you desire lo live lo a good ' old age,' use such remedies as will effect an. easy and permanent cure. Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry has cured more colds then any other niedioine otfered for sale in thiscountry. The certificates of cures effected by this invaluable medicine, which the proprietor is daily receiving, are of the most gratifying character, and tend to show Its sanitive properties, and the high rank it ho'ds in public estimation. The Press, the Medical Faculty, and thousands who have used Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, all concur in pronouncing it one of thebeat remedies ever invented for the cure of all Pitlmonary Affections. ;'

JO" From the best evidence ii ia estimaled that one hundred thousand die annually from disease of the Stomach and Bowels. In ihe face of ihis alar¬ ming mortality, charity, religion and humaniiy com¬ bine in urging us to mitigate evils wc cannot en¬ tirely remove. From uersonal observation and from experience drawn from otiiers, we are war¬ ranted in saying, that Medicine knowns no remedy half so efficacious as this, tn diseases of theae or¬ gans. More than five thousand persons were sav¬ ed from a premature grave, the past season, by its limeiy use. Many a mother is now blessed with her darhng child rescued by this remedy from death. As a test of our sincerity in urging upon every family the great importance of having this invaluable medicine constantly onhand, we will in every case of a well aulhenlicated failure, agree to refund the money. JCrRead what practising phy¬ sicians say of it.   Try il, and save your child.
Thi? will certify, that I have examined Dr. Keeler'a Cordial, and have ascertained its componeni parts, and consider it a good family mediciine, und worthy the al¬ lenlion of mothers and nurses, and consider they would do well to reioin it in their families.

Halsey's Forest Wine!
Patronized by the Nobility and MIedical Facul¬ ty of England, and esteemed the most extra- ordinary Medicine ofthe agei iyjEDICINES comaiiiing molasses or liquorice, ''* like the boasted Sarsaparillas, require many large bottles to produce the slightest change in health. The Forest Wine is altogether a oiffer- cni article. It conlains no syrupa to eive it consis¬ tency, but acquires its excellent flavor and power¬ ful medicinal qualities from the vegetable plants of which il ia composed. The Forest Wihe. com¬ bines the virtues of the Wild Cherry. Ddndelion, Yellow Dock, and Sarsaparilla, with oihervaiuable Plnnif whose properiies are still more powerful.
Its high concentration rei.ders it one of the most efficient medicines now in use. Less than a single boitle restores the lingering patient from weakness, debility, and sickness, to strong and vig..rons health. Every dose shows its good effects on the conBliin- lion, and improves the. state of the health. The Forest Wi.ve is recommended, in the atronc^est terms, for all complaints oflhe Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, Nervous Disordees,
