FROM TUB NEW-YORK AMERICAN. The following touching lines are from the pen of Mrs. Florid v White, and were addressed to r.,f,w n. Adair, of Kentucky, late Gov-

UJlll 111 -"- - " m. m a wide circle of friends accompany them. Farewell to the land of my birth, Though I leave thee to wander afar, Thou art dearer to me than the restof the earth; Aye dear as my own natal star: And though I should see thee not even for years I shall think of thee always, and often in tears. Farewell to thee! land of my sire! Abode of the brave and the free, If ever man cherished a patriot's fire, And worshipped his country, 'twas he; Oh! how could I part from this loved native shore, If I fancied his arms would enfold me no more! Sweet Home of my Mother! farewell! As his I called thee with pride As her's such fond thoughts on my memory swell That utterance chokes with their tide:
If the thought of her only thus thrills thro' my heart;
Could I ee her once more should I ever depart! Bright scenes of my childhood, adieu!
Sweet haunts of my half opened mind, j And ye sports, Love and Youth, consecrated by y ou, Oh! how shall I leave you behind! To part thus from brothers, from sisters, from friends, Is there aught upon earth that can make me amends! The Maxgostax. The Mangostan is one of the most delicious fruits that grows; and the tree on which it is produced is very graceful and beautiful. It is a native of Sumatra, and also of the Molucca or Spice Islands, but is to be met with in many other parts of Asia. The fruit is round, about the size of a common orange. The pulp is divided like an orange, and the flavor is said to be that of the finest grape and strawberry united. Parley's Magazine. The Banian Tree. The Banian tree is a species of the fig-tree, and deserves notice not only from its being a sacred tree with the Hindoos in the East Indies, but from the vast size, that it attains, and from the singularity of its growth. Each tree is in itself a grove ; and some of them are of an amazing size, as they are continnally increasing, and seem to be free from decay. Every branch from the main body of the tree throws out its own roots, at first in small tender fibres, several yards from the ground, which continually grow thicker, uhtil, by a gradual decent, they reach the surface of the earth: here striking in, they increase to a large trunk, and become a parent tree, throwing out new branches from the top. These, in time, suspend their roots, and receiving nourishment from the earth, swell into trunks, and shoot forth other branches. A banian-tree, with many trunks, forms the most beautiful walks, vistas, and cool recesses, that can be imagined. The leaves are large, soft, and of a lively green. The fruit is a small fig, when ripe of a bright scarlet, affording sustenance to monkeys, squirrels, peacocks, and birds of various kinds, which dwell among the branches. The Hindoos are particularly fond of this tree and almost pay it divine honors. The Brahmins, or priests, spend much of their time in religious solitudes under the shade of the banian-tree. They plant it in those villages, where there is no structure for public worship, and placing an image upon the boughs, perform there a morming and evening sacrifice. Parley's Magazine. WHAT IS THIS? It's like a ghost, Like a sword, Like an unruly horse, Like sugar,
Like pepper,
Like will o7 the wisp, Like a beacon, Like wine, Like a prison,
Like salt,
Like a potato, Like the devil, and Like Heaven.
The solution to the above is Ixve.
Love is like a ghost, because it is never seen,
touched or understood, but often talked about. Like an unruly horse, because it often runs away with its possessor, and is not easily managed. Like the bite of a mad-dog, it makes men mad. Like the will o' the wisp, it leads men into difficulties. Like a beacon, it directs to the wish'd for port. Like wine, it makes us heedless of consequences. Like a prison, it confines a man to one point. Like a sword, it often kills. Like sugar, it is sweet. Like pepper, it burns. Like salt, it is relishing. Like a potato, because it is best warm. Like the devil, because it torments us, and Like Heaven, it is the source of bliss.
Health of J'ero Orleans. Accounts to the 10th instant, represent the Yellow Fever to be raging with unabated violence. The attacks are said to be unusually fatal. The sufferings of the poorer classes are said to be very great. On the 4 th, the Directors of the Charity Hospital passed the following resolution: "Resolved, That during the prevalence of the present epidemic, the doors of the Hospital be
thrown open to all persons requiring its aid, and that although unprepared to accommodate the
numerous applicants that have and may present
themselves, every exertion shall be made to suc
cor them as far as possible. All destitute per
sons may accordingly present themselves directly at the Hospital, without applying for a ticket of admission.'1

VEGETABLE ANTI-BILIOUS PILLS. THE convenience of a cheap remedy, in the form of Pills, suited to the commencement of m..
of the indispositions to which we are liable, needs no comment. Many diseases, in their forming stan-e are easily arrested, by the exhibition of proper cathartic
iueuicme; mm uiu consequent suuermg ana expense are thereby avoided. All that pills can effect, in pre. serving or restoring health and that is much may be expected, and will be derived from the timely use of these Pills. Are peculiarly excellent in every variety of head ache, proceeding from a foul, acid or bilious state of the stomach; and in all feverishness of the system dependant on the same cause. In short, for every derangement of the stomach and bowels, requiringcathartic medicine, the Vegetable Anti-Bilious Pills ad. mit of no comment. Price 25 cents. For sale at the store of J.

Li MOTT'S COUGH DROPS.
Valuable Medicines for Coughs & Consumptions. THIS Elixir is peculiarly adapted to the present prevailing disorders of the breast and lungs.lead-
ing to consumption. 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 cough-
ing. It eases pain, and induces rest to an eminent
degree. Persons afflicted with pulmonary complaints
bleeding of the lungs, &c. spasmodic asthma, palpitation 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 hooping
cough.
Copy of a lelte. from Dr. J. C. Rennet, dated, Circle ville, June 2Uth, 182g. .Messrs Crosbys I have the pleasure to state to you
the salutary effects in many cases, which I have witnessed in the use of your excellent Cough Drops. As a medicine in those diseases for which it is highly recommended, it seems 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 general found that they produced relief, when other pectoral medicines in high repute, had
failed to produce any perceptible effect. In common
coughs and colds, I presume I may say, that they are
not only sovereign, but also an immediate remedy; at least so far immediate, as any medicine can be so called, in regard to the time required for operation. It certainly must be obvious, that the evils of those diseases which these drops were designed to cure, will be
lessened in proportion to their more extensive use. This may wear the appearance of hypothesis, as assertions of medicines often do; hut when authenticated by so many experiments all producing the same sal
utary results, we are divested of doubt in their Use,
and unclouded certainty. Yours respecfully. JOHN COOK BENNETT. Extract of a letter from the Rev. E. Harris, dated, Salem, N Y January 12, 1825.

VEGETABLE RHEUMATIC DROPS, or CERTAIN REMEDY.
ANY articles are before the public, as a cure f0f that obstinate and most tormenting disease ti ..
Rheumatism, and from close observation, we are leu to believe they have to a very great extent, failed to produce the desirable result; and may it not be attributable to the fact, that arttcles said to cure this troublesome disorder, are also recommended to cure a, most every disease with which our frail bodies are attacked, and in their preparation that object is kept in view, viz: to have the medicine a cure for all dig. eases. The Vegetable Rheumatic Drops are offered to the public as a sure remedy for chronic or inflanmatory Rheumatism; and as no case is known where a perfect cure was not effected, we are justified in declaring it a valuable medicine for that painful disease
and lor no other is it recommended.
A few of the many testimonials of its efficarr
are given below:
Messrs O S- S Crosby Co Gentlemen: I fe1
happy in having it in my power to state to you the good effect of your Vegetable Rheumatic Drops, had in restoring me from a sick bed. In the month of April last, I was so afflicted with the Inflammatory
Rheumatism that I was confied to my bed. I was en
tirely unable to help myself. I could not so much is
turn mysef in bed, and it was with the greatest difficulty that I could be moved in it; I tried various kinds of medicine, und was attended by a skilful physician,
out ail to no ellect, until 1 made use of your Sure llemedy, which, when applied as directed, gave me immediate relief. Within a short time after I commenced using it, I was able to ride out and attend to my usual business. I can cheerfuully recommend it to the public as being a good medecine for Rheumatic complaiats, as it has been a number of months and I have had n return. AARON HOLDltlDGE. Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 1st. 1832.
Messrs Crosboy's & Co. I was afflicted for several months with the Rheumatism; and having used every remedy recommended by the most eminent physicians within my reach without success, I at length procured a bottle of your Rheumatic Drops or Sure Remedy, and made the application as directed, and before I had used one half of it, a perfect cure was effected; and to my knowledge the same bottle cured two of my neighbors. It is now about two years since I used your medecine, and I have not been troubled with the Rheumatism since. RODNEY SPALDING. Marion, Marion county, Ohio, May 20th, 1832. Sirs I hereby certify, that I was for two years afflicted with the Rheumatism. I made use of different kinks of liiedecino, which only gave temporary relief.

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 diflicuty of breathing; and in the fall of 1823, 1 became so much reduced that my life was despaired of; and receiving no visible benefit from my physician, I v.as 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, 1S2G. This may certify that in the month of July, 1828, I was attacked with a cough, which, from its continued irritation of the parts, for four or five months, became alarming, from its frequency, producing faintness and great prostration of both mental and bodily powers. I procured La Mott's Cough Drops, and taking according to the directions, which gave immediate relief: 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. OCT Price Fifty Cents per bottle. For sale at the Store of J.

DR. THOMAS WHITE'S VEGETABLE TOOTHACHE DROPS.
HE only specific ever offered to the public, from which a permanent and radical cure may be ob
tained of that disagreeable pain, the Toothache, with all its attendant evils; such as fracturing the jaw in extracting of the teeth, which often proves more painful than the toothache itself; and cold passing' froni the decayed teeth to the jaw, thence to the head pro
ducing a rheumatic affection, with many other unpiea
sant effects, such as disasrreeable breath, bad taste in
the mouth, &c. all of which are produced from foul or
decayed teeth. I am happy to have it m my power to offer to the world a remedy, that will not only remove the pain, nine times out often, if properly applied, but
preserve the teeth from further decay, and arrest tw
disease in such as are decaying and have not commen' ced aching, restoring them to health and usefulness. certificates.
Jlr. Thomas White I have the pleasure to inform
you, that agreeably to your request, I have been using
your loothache Drops in my practice for some wu
past, and 1 must acknowledge that I find them lar su
perior to anv thin? I have ever vet known for that pur
pose. You are perfectly safe in recommending then to cure nine times out of ten; for from the success 1 have had, 1 believe your recommendation falls shortof their merits. I am well convinced that it will cure
most cases of Toothache when itjs timely and properly applied. I am not prepared to speak of its preservative
properties; but what I have seen of your teetnw1' havft lnnor hfpn fiirofl n nil rmeerraA fmm decaying.
and from a few weeks experience, I am decidedly of
