STANZAS. BY RICHARD H. WIDE. My lift is like the summer's roe That opens to ihe morning sky, Bui ere fie th.-idesof ptening close, Is scattered on the ground to die! Yet on the rose's humble bed The sweetest Jews of night are shed, As if '-he wept ihe waste lo see But none shall w eep a tear for me! My life i like the aulum leaf That trembles i:i the moon's pale ray; It hold is fiail its date is brief, Restless and soon to pass awaj ! Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fade. The parent tree will mourn its shade. The winds bewail the leafless tree, Hut none shaii breathe a sigh Air mt! My life is like theprints which feel Have left on TanipaVdcsert strand; Soon as the rising tide shall beat, All truce will vanish from the sand! Yet. a if grieving to efface, All vestige of the human race; Un that lone shore Ion J moans the sea, Bui none, alas! shall mourn for me!
Italian ity, otherwise I houlJ not have spoken." 'Ah, you Lave s great advantage over us all in having travelled so extensively, Mr. Harvard," said Anne II , desiri.us to restore gocd feeling. The eay r cenes of the night wore on. Several limes hal Ferris Harvard com
pletely put to fault the shallow brained fops around him, placing them in anything but an enviable light.
Ferris Harvard w as a lieutenant in the Navy: and depended entirely upon his pay
a an officer, to support a widowed moth
er and a vounser sister to both of which
he was devotedly attached. His father,
self-made man. had once been a successful
merchant, who sailed and freighted some
of the heaviest tonned vessels that left the
port of Boston; but misfortune and sick
ness overtook him, and he sunk into his grave, leaving his only son to piotecl his mother and sister from the wants and ills of li e. Ferris had enjoyed a liberal edu-

midshipman, had risen to a lieutenancy by reason of his superior talents and good conduct. His profession had led him to
all parts of the world, and he had carefully
improved this advantage! tho constrained by his limited means, to practice the most rigid economy. lie had met with the only daughter of If arris II , one of ihe wealthiest citi-
Rostnn, courteous reader, the Yankee city of Massachusetts Bay, shall be the locale of our tale. There is a portion of the w et part of the town here at in London, occupied by the more opulent of the inhabitants, in the immediate neighborhood of the Common, as it is called. The vicinity is the aristocratic section of ihe city. You will find this spirit of pride or aristocracy to consist of associations in the old country; theie birth alone establishes the claim to distinction, w hile hero wealth is the most powerful. Ah! in this boasted free country, gold is the lover of b!1 ranks, forming for itself a kingdom out or the Republic, which it rules with a rod of iton, though in this Yankee city, genius
and intellect are far more readily appre
ciated than in any other part of the State. It was a cold w inter night, and the wind whistled shrill through the bare limbs of the giant trees that lined the mall. The ground was covered with snow, upon ihe surface ol which the light of the moon fell with dazzling splendor, studding Ihe encrusted cround with brilliant diamonds. As the old South clock struck nine,a young man closely wrapped in his cloak, sought the shade ofone of the large trees in the park from whence he watched the coming of numerous carriage loads f gaily dressed people of both sexes, who entered one of the princely houses in Bacon street.
Through the richly stained glass windows
the gorgeous light issued in a steady flood, Bccompanied by the thrilling tones of mufic from a full band; the house illumin ilrd
at every point, seemed crowded with gay and happy spirits. The stranger still con
templated this scene his cloak, which had uniil now enveloped the lower part of his features, had fallen, discovering a face of manly beauty, a full dark eye, with arching brow s, and short cut ling hair, as black as ihe raven's plumage, set off to great advantage his Grecian stjle of feature a becoming moustache curled above his mouth, giving a decided classic appearance to the whole face. The naval button on his cap i-howed that he belonged to that branch of our national defence. ' Shall I enter 1" said he "thoughtfully to himself, ''and feast my eyes on charms
that I can never possess. Hard fate that I should be so bound by the iron chiins of poverty yet I am a man, who have a soul s noble as ihe best'of ihem. We w ill see," he said, crossing over to the gay scene, he entered the hall. He cast otf his over shoes, handed his cap and cloak lo the servant, and unannounced mingled with Ihe beauty and fashion that thronged the rooms. Gradually making his way among the crowd, he souffht a ffrotiD in whose centre stood a
bright and beautiful being, the qjeen of loveliness of lhat brilliant assembly. The "bloods"' of ihe west end flocked around her, seeking for an approving glance from those dieamy blue eyes, half abstracted, she answered or spoke upon the topics of conversation, without apparent interest. Suddenly she started and blushing deeply, dropped a half courtesy, in token of recognition to some one without the group. Her eyes no longer languid, now sparkled w ith animation, and as our n-ival friend entered the group about her she laid her liny gloved band within his, saying: ''Welcome Ferris, we feared vonr sailing orders had taken you to see ibis bleak w eather." -We should not have lifted anchor w ithout first paying tribute to our Queen," was the gallant reply. A titter ran through the circle of excludes at his appearance among them, but when the ladv approved theie was no
cause of complaint. ' Strange familiarity," said one young leilow to another, "what pretensions can he have here?" "And Miss II called him by his given name, too,' said another, "rather familiar that, wonder whattheold man would say to it?" "What scene does this painticg represent?"' asked a lady friend at this moment, of Anne II . "I think it is an Italian picture," jeplied
the fair girl. "Spanish I should say,"obseived he who w as first questioned on the appearance of Ferris. "Evidently Spanih,:' said another exquisite, "though I regret to differ from .Miss II ." "You err," said Ferris, turning to the twf) gentlemen, the lady is right. "Ii is an Italian scene, as yon will discover by a closer examination of the costumes and figures."" "Pray, do-you establish yourself as an umpire ui the casej" retorted one of those who h id pronounced ihe picture to be a Spanish scene. "I contend that yoi are wrong," said the other, seeking some cause for difference, add desiring to show up the unpretending Lieutenant. 'Pardon me, ladies," said Ferris, taking H i notice of the speakers, "I saw that painting in the studio of Isola, at Genoa, a few years sine, and I know from its author that it represents a street scene in that
zensof Boston at a fete given on board the ship to w hich he belonged, and had immediately became enamored of her, but he well knew, in his own heart, that the difference in their fortunes formed a barrier to his wishes. He had been a casual visitor for several months previous to the time our story commences, at the house of the II family. "I must think of her no more," said Ferris id himself, "If I am thus sneered at by her friends for offering her common civilities, with what contempt would her
austere parent receive a proposition for
her hand from one so poor and unknown." Harris II was indeed a stern old
"Oh, he will not hear a word of the mat
ter, I know,'" said Ihe sorrowing girl. "No
longer ago lhan yesterday, he spoke to me relative lo a connection with R ,but
I can never love but one," said th 3 beauty,
giving him her hand.
Ferris could bear suspense no longer;
in fact, the ;hint relative to her alliance
w ith another, spin red him to action, lie
proceeded to that part of the room w here
Mr. II sat, and after a few introductory remarks said: "You have doubtless observed, sir, my intimacy in your family for more than a
year past. From the fact lhat you did not object to my attentions to your daughter,
I have been led lo hope that it might not
be altogether against your wishes. May
I ask, sir, with due respect, your opinion
in the matter? '
"I have often seen you here," replied
Mr. II ."and have found no reason lo
object to yovjr visits, 6ir."
"Indeed, sir, you are very kind. I have
neither fortune or rank tooffervour daugh
ter, but still, emboldened by love, I esk you for her hand." The old man laid down his book, and re
moving his spectacles, asked:
Does the lady sanction your re
quest?"
"She does." "Have you thought well of your propo
sal?"
"I have." "And yon ask " "Your daughter's hand." ''It is yours," said the old man. Ferris sprang, astonished, to his feel,

man, and yet he was said to be kind to the poor, giving freely for the relief of the needy. Still he was a strange man, he seldom spoke to those around him, yet he evinced the warmest love for his only child, and Anne too, loved her faiher vvith
an arcent affection. 1 113 delight was to pore over his library, literally living, as it were, in the fellowship of the old philosophers. Upon several occasions when Ferris was at his house and engaged in conversation w ith Anne, he had observed the old man's eye bent sternly upon him, when his heart would sink within him, and he would awake to the reality of his situation. Ferris was one evening in Beacon street, where, in spile of the cold reception he received from those he generally met there, he still enjoyed himself in the belief that Anne was not indifferent to his
regara. lie naa oeen relating at tier re
quest, his experience of different national
characters with whom he had met, speaking of their peculiarities and describing the
various scenic effects of different countries.
Anne sal near a sweet scented geranium, w hose leaves she was most industriously engaged in destroying. Ferris, bending
close to her car, said:
"Anne, will you pluck me that rose as a
token of affection? you must know how
ardent mine is for you or, slop, dearest,
behind it grows the candy tuft. You know
the mystic language ol ootli, will you
choose and give me one?"
1 Hush, hush, Ferris," said ihe blushing
girl, handing- him the rose.
This passed, when the attention of the
company present was drawn to some en
gaging object. Never before had Ferris received any evidence of Anne's love,save from her tell-tale eyes. The flower was placed next to his heart, and lie left the apartment. He had proceeded but a few-
steps from the house, w hen he was accos
ted by a poor mendicant, clothed in rags,
w ho was exposed at that late hour of 'the
n'gntto the inclemency of the season. "Pray sir," said the beggar to Ferris
''can you give me a trifle? I am nearly
starved, and chilled thtough by the night
air.
Ferris, after a few moment's conversa
lion with the beggar, (for his was not the
heart lo turn away from the sufferings o
a teuow creature nandeo mm a purse containing five or six dollars, urged him to
seek immediate shelter and food. The beggar blessed him and passed on. A (ew nights subsequent to this occasion, Mrs. II .Anne's mother, received hini as she did most of her visitors, with a somewhat constrained and distant welcome. Being a woman of no conversational powers she always retired quite early, conducting her intercourse with society in the formal manner. Ferris was much surprised lhat Mr. II had taken no notice of his intimacy at the house, for he very seldom saw him, but when he did so, he would see the old man's eyes bent sternly upon him in anything but a friendly and inviting spirit. In this dilemma,
ne was ai a loss wnat course to pursue:
heretofore lie had despaired of ever gaining Anne's acknowledgement of affection for him. and now that he had succeeded in this, he was equally distant from the goal of his happiness, for his better judgment told him that the content of her parents could never be obtained. On this occasion, he had taken his leave as usual, when he was met by the beggar of the former occasion, who again solicited alms, declaring that he could find no one else to assist him, and that the money he had before bestowed upon him, had been expended for food, and rent of a miserable cellar w here he lodged. Again Ferris placed a purse in the poor man's hands, at the same time telling him that lie himself was poor and constrained to the practice of rigid economy in the support of those dependant upon him. He left the beggar and passed on his way, happy in having contributed to the alleviation of human suffering. Not long subsequent, .Ferri called one evening at the house of Mr. II and fortunately found Anne and her father alone, the former engaged upon a piece of embroidery of a new pattern, and the latter poring over a volume of ancient philosophy. On bis entrance the old gentleman took no further apparent notice of him, lhan an inclination of the head, and "good evening sir." He took a chair by Anne's side, and told her of his love in a low but ardent lone, begging permission to speak to her father upon the subject.
"I jhardiy know now to receive your kindness, sir, I had looked for different Ireatment." "Listen, young man," said the father, "do you think I should have allowed you
to become intimate in my family without
first knowing your character? Do you
think I should nave given this precious
cinid (and here he placed her hand in
Ferris') to you before I had proved you?
No, sir; out of Anne's many suitors from
the wealthy and highest in society, I long since selected you as one in whom I could
feel confidence. The world calls me
cold, calculating man; perhaps I em so;
but I had a duty to perform to Him who
had entrusted me with the happiness of
ihis blessed child; I have endeavored to discharge that trust faithfully; the dictates
of pride may have been counterbalanced
by a desiro for my daughter's happiness.
I chose you first she has since voluntari
ly done so. I know your life and habits,
your means and prospects you need tell
me nothing. With your wife you will re
ceive an ample fortune; the dutiful son and
affectionate brother, will make a geod hus
band. But stay." said the old man. "I
will be with you in a moment," and he
left the lovers together.
"The story of your marriage with R-
was only to try your heart, and thicken
the plot," said Ferris to the blushing girl
At this moment the door opened and
the beggar w hom Ferris had twice reliev
ed entered. Stepping up to Ferris solicited charity. Anne recoiled at first at the dejected appearance and poverty stricken
looks of the intruder, w hile Ferris asked
tn astonishment how he gained entrance
into the house. In a moment the figure
rose to a stately highness, and casting off
the disguise it had worn, ciscovcrcd the
person of Anne's father.
"I determined." said the father, address
ing Ferris, after I had otherwise proved your character to test one virtue, which of all others is the greatest Charity.
Had you tailed in that, vou would also
have failed with me in this purpose of mar
riage. You were weighed in the balance
and not found wanting; here, sir, is your
first purse, it contained six dollars when
you gave it to the poor beggar in the
street it now contnins a check for six
thousand; and here is the second lhat con
tained five dollars which is also multiplied
by thousands, Nay," said the old man, as
terns was about to speak, "there is no need of explanation it is a fair business
transaction."
Tlits was, of course ell mystery to Anne
but when explained added still more to her
love for the future husband.
Ferris Rnd Anne were soon married, an
one stately mansion in Beacon st. serves as a home for mother, wife, sister, and
all, gossip said, (and said truly for once,) that old Mr. II having money enough, had not sought to add more to the fortune he should leave his child by forming for her an alliance with gold, but had sought and found what was far more valuable, true merit. "And now nbidath Faith, Hope and Charity, there but the greatest of these is Charity."
CAUTION TO ALL.! Let all the world take notice, and be careful not to buy the (si-gar coated) l.MPROVED INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, unless eveby box has on it the written signature of the original inventor and patentee, G. BENJAMIN SMITH, M. D.
These pleasant Pills possess the power
to open all the natural drains of the sys
tem viz: the LUNGS, KIDNEYS, SKIN and BOWELS hitherto unknown in the
practice of medicine; and so completely
has been their triumph over all other medicines, that many have been led to suppose they contain some powerful mineral; but upon examination by Drs. Chilton, Randolph, Huntington and others, this supposition is at once proved to be groundless. Sold in New York at 179 Greenwich Street, also by Rushton & Co., 10 Astor

TO THE PEOPLE OF FRANKLIN &
ADJOINING COUNTIES.
Nail seriousness we address vou. and
upon an important 6ubiect; one'which
deeply effects your interests; we tb re fore, earnestly solicit your candid and careful attention . In presenting this subject we have in view, we would refer you to the following well known gentlemen. We do this, being fully aware that such names are only needed to give character and importance to any subject; we therefore, would urge upon all, who after carefully reading this article, feel they are interested, to call upon the gentlemen referred to, and "see whether these things are so." Hitt & HaiLe, Brookville, E. Tyner & Co, Metamora, Conweli.. Shoip & Van BsRUEN.Laurel tt-. - - c ii
m. adams, r airneia, E. Corey, Bloominggrove, Morgan dc Nickols, Andersonville. Tbe above gentlemen have either used,
or are agents for the sale of the famous.
and justly celebrated "Jets Davids or Hebrew Plaster" and "Resurrection or Ptr sian P(f,"and have recently been supplied with them anew and can testify to their ex ailed character, and also furnish uncontro vertable proof as to their virtues and efficacyjin all cases for whicb.eitber the "He. brew Plaster," or "Persian Pills." are recommended. The success of these Medicines in the Eastern States, and W. T., Ohio, Pa., Nichigan, lllinois.and this Stata and indeed wherever introduced, have been unprecedented in tbe annals of medicines, clearly proving the fact, that when a medicine possessing real merit and great medical virtues, is offered to the public, it will meet with a success commensurate' with its worth. The character of the "Hebrew Plaster"' and "Persian Pills," is fairly established", and upon a firmer basis than any other medicines of which we have any knowledge. Having, for six years successfully met and warded off tbe shafts of malice and envy,
which by tbe interested, have been hurled' against them and by their wonderful cures.
done away with all prejudice heretofore exsting against patent remedies, we have
good grounds for the assertion, that we
sincerely believe there is no medicine that gives such general satisfaction and fails in
so few instances to benefit all who use them
as the "Hebrew Plaster" and "Persian
Pills." This is said after mature dehbera-r
tion and in no spirit of boasting. We wish
tbe medicine to stand upon its own mem therefore shall not attempt to give it character by puffs or ficticious certificates, at such a course never adds to the virtues of any medicine, but is sure soon to meet it
just reward from an enlightened public.
ui tbe "Hebrew Plaster," we remark that the peculiarities of this Chemical Compound, are owing to its extraordinary effect upon the animal fibre or nerves, ligaments and muscles; its virtues being carried ,by them to the immediate seat of disease, or of pain and weakness. However good any internal remedy may be, this. s an external application, will prove a powerful auxiliary in removing the disease and facilitating the cure in esses of Loc&) Inflammation, Scrofulous Affections, King's Evil, Gout, Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, and in all cases where seated pain or weakness exists. We have likewise witnessed the happy effects of its softening and Leal ing qualities in numberless eases of Scrofulous Humors, Knots, Wens.White Swellings, Hard Tumors, Stiff Joints, Ague Cakes, Ague in the Breast, end the like, to the united sat
isfaction of ourselves and others.
It has likewise ibeen very beneficial in
cases of weakness, such as Weakness and
Pain in tbe stomach. Weak Limbs, Lame
ness, Affections of tbe Spine,Female Weak'
nesse,4c. No female, subject to pain or
weakness in tbe back or side, should be without it. Married ladies, in delicate sit1 ualiona, find great relief from wearing this
plaster. The application of this plaster between
the shoulders, has been found a certain re
medy for Colds, Coughs, Phthisic and Lung Affections, in their primary6tages. It de
stroys inflammaiion.by producing a copious
perspiration. ISo physician should be without it. No puffing or great spread of certificate! is intended. Those who wish to satisfy themselves of the efficacy of tLia Plaster can obtain sufficiet to spread 6 or 8 pitslers, for 50 cts. We would caution the public against buying of any one but those who we publish as agents; for we have reason to believe some unprincipled person has tampered with the life and health of hit fellow man. by counterfeiting tbe "Hebrew Plaster." Be sure and ascertain that whoever has tie Plaster for sale are agents for tbt subicnbers. None other ia genuine. THE RESURRECTION OR PERSIAN PILLS. These Pills raise from the greatest weakness, distress, and suffering, to a state of strength, health and happiness. TLe name of these pills originated from tbe circumstance of the medicine being found only in. the cemeteries ofPersia. This vegetable production being of a peculiar kind, led to experiments as to it medical qualities, and virtues. In half acentury it became an established medicinefor the diseases of that rountry. The ex tract of this singular production ws introduced into some parts of Europe in the yeaf 1783, and used by mauy celebrated phyai
cians in curing certain diseases, where alt other medicines Lad been used in vain. Early in tbe year 1792.tbe extract was combined with Ja certain vegetable medicineimported from Dura Baca, in tLe East Indies, and fora ed into Pills. Those in health, who live in marshy countries and unhealthy climates, cau avoid the diseases to which their situations are subject, by taking the Persian Pills once, an J in some instances.perhaps, twice a week, to cleanse the system, and purify it from the small accumulation of effluvia, wbicb causes the different diseases, ia different situations of tbe country. Those who find diseases fast increasing upon them.should take 6 or 6 pills on going to bed, which will generally operate .bh gentle emetic and cathartic; after which continue the use of tbem in smaller doses, s recommended on either part of.ioe bill. Those whojfollow this course will find tbem a sure and Never failing Preventive. Price of Pills 25 cents per box. D. HARTER CO. Janunry23rd. 5-ly
