1 love the man v

Misfortunes angry

love the heart that spurns" despair Though all its friends have flown.

I love the soul so richly proud,

That misery cannot blight; The soul that braves the jeering crowd,

And sternly claims its right. I love that fortitude, rcfin'd, Which sorrow cannot shake; I love that strength of soul and mind No earthly power can break. I love the man who scorns to bend Beneath affliction's blast: Who trusts in an Almighty Friend, To soothe his woes at last. RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSIES. From Nile's Register. Wc have 'fallen upon evil times.' Indeed it

would almost seem that a return to the 'day of lire and faot' might he speedily looked for, if

the sccuhar power could be rendered subservi

ent to the propagation aud 'glorious progress' of

some of the leading Christian sect. C oncerning

such quarrells, (which then existed as now, though with a hetter excuse than at present.) Franklin, about sixty years ago, said, in a private letter to a friend: Whcn theologians of religious people quarrel about religion, each party abuses the other; the profane and the infidel believe botli sides, and

enjoy the fray; the reputation of religion in gen

eral su(lcr?,and its enemies are ready to say, not

what was faid in the primitive times behold

hox these Christians love one another, but, mark horr these Christians hate one. another P There have been many regular set-to's between wranglitig priests whose zeal was manifestly greater 'to floor" their antagonists and, by cart loads of Latin and Greek and Hebrew, 'with' or without points,' send each other into the safe and fast keeping of 'the prince of devils,' and gather laurels for themselves outrageously and indecently inconsistent with the sublime principles of that religion which leaches meekness and forbearance, and 'peace and good will to all men.'' And even the 4th of July a day which of all others should be kept free fro'rrv srch controversies, and mainly because that perfeejtright of conscience was established by the Declaration of Indepcndance, has been used for the purpose of forwarding sectarian or particular religious

views, and the progress of one of the 'churches has been toasted on this day! Such things arc not only in 'bad taste they are decidedly mischievous.nvA should promptly obtain the most decided marks of public reproach, contempt and scorn. We 'owe no subscription to the rules of fa'rth of no party of religionists for wc cannot receive the whole dogmas of any one; bat wc agree in practice with the good people of all, who 'do justice, love mercy and walk humbly.' "Arid it always delights us to witness, or be informed of such instances of co-operative goodness, is to be found in the Baltimore infirmary where our valuable and valued friend, Solomon Filing, Esq. the Governor of that institution and a 'Jew,' has a charge over the 'Sisters of Charity,' devoted to administer to the wants and relieve the pains of the sick and wounded and sore. No one who is acquainted with the persons just alluded to can, for an interest, suppose that 'Jew or Gentile,' 'bond or free,' is regarded, in the fatherly or sister like kindness and care with which parents are attended or that between the two, there is any difference in thing what the laze and the go p enjoins on both. We read 'the harvest truly is great, but the laborers few.' Every 'church,' more or less, has adopted certain 'articles of faith' which are regarded by its thorough going members as essential,but if all these 'essentials,' were collected together and -made into one book, a Chinese philosopher would, probably, regard the Christian religion, (as set forth in these utterly opposing dogmas.) as a much confused mass of matter than that of the virtuous sects which abound in his own land; and, perhaps, also claim in her own behalf, the fact, that a far greater number of the inhabitants of the world are of his own general way of thinking. And yet on the important point of shewing the duly which man owes to the CREATOR by rendering kindness to his creatures, the followers of Moses or of Jescs

of Confucius or Mohomct, or even those who re

gard the person of the Grand Lama as the invisible evidence of GOD would all agree. In matters of faith, every man has an unquestionable right to judge for himself, when determining what particular sect approaches the nearest to the dictates of his own conscience but it required of all men, that, using this great and glorious liberty for themselves, they should not interfere with or abuse others for doing the same thing. It shews a spirit wich is in malignant opposition to the charity of the gospel; and in the beautiful parable of the 'good Samaritan,' and in numerous other instances, it pleased the Great Teacher, to shew that professions, without works of benevolence, were utterly vain. The Gentile, who poured oil and wine into the wouds of the man who had been beset with thieves, was preferred to the pricstcapped Lcvite, who would have suffered a fellow man to perish by the way side. The dignified professor one who had a legal right to enter the temple, render mouthworship there saying 'stand aside, fori am holier than thou,' was shew n to have no religion in his soul whereas the other, who might have been hacked into pieces had he penetrated even the 'outer veil, was held up as an example for the followers of the 'Meek and Lowly.' It is not often that we speak of such subjects and for the reason that it is hardly possible to refer to the tenets or conduct of a religious sect, without finding a thousand pens ready 'to leap from' the ink-stands, blackened with all the fury

lartizan zeal, and sharpened by the 'common

nger of the craft;' and the most innocent re-

'arks uttered, in the most general terms, are dis

covered to have some direct application to persons or things which never entered the mind of the writer of them but we would encourage a greater degree of liberality, and a closer observation of what we quaintly call the 12th commandment 'Let every one mind his own business.' Our business, 'as we understand it,' is to enforce the 11th commendment 'Love one another. And we do think that deeds, and not

words the offerings of the heart, rather than of

bulls or ot rams, or any other outward ceremony or sacrifice, will find acceptance hereafter, w hen the dust of all men shall be mingled in a common mass of matter autocrats and emperors, popes and archbishop?, shall return to the earth as they were,with the wild Arabs of the desert,and the filthy 'Hottentots of South Africa and 'all without distinction line.' But we have been dis

gusted with the foul and malicious things which

wc have seen published in too many of the religions newspapers, and would enter an humble, but earnest, protest against them all, saying 'Let there be peace between you.' II.nr Words. A young clergyman, who delivered a discourse in place of an aged brother minister? requested the opinions of the latter respei tii it- ... 'O,' said he plainly, 'many of the words you used were 'beyonj the comprehension of your hearers; thus (he word inference for instance, perhaps not half of my parishioners understood its meaning.' 'Inference, inference!' exclaimed the other; 'why. every one must understand that.' 1 think you will find it not so; there's my clerk now, he pride's himself upon his learning, and in truth he is very intelligent; we will try him: Zachariah; my brother here wishes you to drain an inference can you do it?' 'Why, I'm pretty strong; but Jobanadab, the coachman, is stronger than 1, 111 ask him.' Zachariah went out a few minutes after the coachman, and returned. 'JpliMiadab, says, he has never tried to drawoft inference, sir; but he reckons his horse can draw any thing that the traces w ill hold.' Young Mai's Advocate.

Snake Story. A singular snake story is related in the last number of the Montrose (Pa.) Volunteer. The circumstance is said to have occurred in Tunkhannock, Luzerne county, and is thus narrated 'A little child begged of its mother a piece, of cake, and on receiving it, immediatelv went out of the house. A short time

afterwards the mother sought the child, whom she found a little ; way from the house amusing itself with feeding the cake to a large rattle snake. The snake, w ith its head elevated nearly io the child's head, was receiving with much appWcnt satisfaction, from the hand of the unconscious child, the crunisofcakc which it broke offand put into his snakeship's mouth. The alarm of the mother, as might reasonably be expected, was very great, on seeing her child put its fingers into the mouth of so dangerous a creature as the rattlesnake; but retaining a proper presence of mind, she persuaded the child to come to her and then pursued and killed the snake.'

li mutts cough drops. Valuahle Medicines for Coughs ifc Consumptions. THIS Elixir is peculiarly adapted to the present prevailing disorders of the breast and lungs,leading toconsumption. Common colds and coughs,which are occasioned by obstructed perspiration, will readily yield to its influence, removing those troublesome

irritations, which act as a constant stimulant to coughing. It eases pain, and induces rest to an eminent

degree. Persons alllicted with pulmonary complaints

bleeding of the lunrs, &c. spasmodic asthma, palpita

tion of the heart, and consumptive affections, even in the most advanced periods of life, will find immediate

relief, from its remarkable power of diminishing the

irritability of the system, and the velocity of the circu

lation, and by cleansing and healing the disordered

parts. It also affords immediate relief in the Looping

cough. C'ofi of a Idler from Dr. J. C. Beiinet, dated, CiRc.LEViLLE, June 2(.th, l2p

.Messrs Crosbys I have the pleasure to state to you

the salutary effects in many cases, which I have witnessed in the use of vour excellent Courh Drops. As

a medicine in those diseases for which it is highly recommended, it serins not to have a substitute or an

equal. In my practice, since I received of

you proxy to sell them, 1 have administered them in some cases of Phthisis Pulmonas and of Spasmodic Asthma, and in gencial found that they produced re

lief, when other pectoral medicines in high repute, had failed to produce any perceptible effect. In common coughs and colds, I presume 1 may say, that they are

not only sovereign, but also an immediate remedy; at

least so lar immediate, as any medicine can be so call

ed, in regard to the time required for operation. It certainly must be obvious, that the evils of those dis

eases which thr-se drops were designed to cure, will be

lessened in proportion to their more extensive use

This may wear the appearance of hypothesis, as as

sertions ot medicines olten do; but when authenticat

ed by so many experiments all producing the same sal

utary results, we are divested of doubt in their use and unclouded certainty. Yours respeefully. JOHN COOK BENNETT. Extract of a letter from the. Rev. E. Harris, dated, Sai.em, N Y January 12, 1S25.

Messrs Crosbys I am ploased with this opportunity of relating a lew facts which may serve in commendation of your excellent Cough drops. For ten years I was affiicted with a pulmonary complaint; my

cougn was severe; my appetite weak, and my strength failing; I used many popular medicines; but I only

lound temporary relief, until by a continued use of your valuable Drops, I have been blessed with such perfect

health, as to render means unnecessary. EBENEZER HARRIS. CERTIFICATES.

Messrs Crosbys I have for IS years been troubled

with an affection of the breast and lungs, attended with

a severe cough, pain in the side, and dilhcuty of breath

ing; and in the fill of 12", I became so much ret'ueed that my life was despaired of; and receiving no visible

benefit trom my physician, 1 was advised to make trial of La Mott's Cough Drops; and after taking one bottle, was restored to perfect health; and it is my firm belief, that the use of the above named drops, saved my life. THOMAS JONES. Columbus, Ohio, July 22, 120.

1 his may certify that in the month of July, 1S2, I was at tacked with a cough, which, from its continu-

ed irritation of the parts, for four or five months, be

came alarming, from its frequency, producing faintness

and great prostration of ooth mental and bodily now

crs. I procured La Mott's Cough Drops, and taking

according to tne directions, which gave immediate re

lief: so that before I had used all of one bottle, I was

perfectly free from any cough. I would cheerfully recommend them to those alike afflicted. CAROLINE BENTON. Lee, Mass. Sept. 7, 1829
