SUOBT PATENT UBUKHIIi

'jfttr 8B«is—wo. CLXir.

At the request of ihe edfttur of the Maumee River Tiotos, I will preach from thigtegt Take yomr time. Site Lney

My hearers—while reflecting upon this "subject, whole swarms of petty thought*, no bigger than bed bugs, and as insignificant as ants, come buzzing around me. I shall en* deavor to bring most of them into the hive of my present discourse and, in order to do this, 1 must !et them take their time: otherwise they would mean nothing, express nothing, and be worth nothing. To obtain anything obtainable, which the heart may desire, my friends, you should never take a run-and jump at it, else you may miss it altogether but, take your time—don't hurry—travel slowel and tread carefully, and you will make much surer of your object than if you went off like a bottle of ginger pop, fretting and foaming for a moment, and then as inactive, lifeless, dormant as a woodchuck in winter.

This world is a great and curious quagmire, through which thousands grunt as they go, unmindful that more haste causes less spe&d. Step cautiously from bog to bog, and you will reach the heavenly shore upon the other side, safely, soundly and with very little mud upon your boots but just as true as you run recklessly across such a dangerous slough, you will sink into the mire of trouble up to your waists and the more you kick and flounder about, the more you are in for it.

My friends—take your time in every thing. I know that you have all set out and started for salvation but if, with one grand rush, you millions of hasty and inconsiderate mortals, block up the narrow gate of heaven, only a few of you will get in, with torn robes, bloody noses, and b^iised shins, even though you knock down the porter, and show fight to the guardian angels but if you just take your time—have your tickets ready—and exhibit no counterfeits—the whole party will bo put through as nicely as the President and his suite were at Howard's. Always take your'timo to work, like a barrel of new cider, and you will accomplish your undertakings and gain strength by the exercise, instead of ruining your healths by going it continually on the hurry-up, nervous, exciting, don't-know-what-to-do system. The Omnipotent toolc his time to commence, and complete the stupendous work of creation. It required one day at least to churn the cream of chaos into any thing like a decent curdle—two days to bring it to a harder substance—and three days more to divide it into those myriads of little lumps, swimming in an unbounded ocean of infinity, called worlds. Now, my dear henrers, if proper time had not been taken for the execution of this mighty project, what kind of a mass do you suppose would have been mude of it Why, we might have had a half finished firmament—a sun without warmth—and a moon made of mouldy cheese and the probability is, that the grent clock of the universe would keep no better time than a cider mill operated upon by a blind horse, and a young nigger soundly slumbering upon th« sweep.

My young fellow morta's—-the path of existence is rather a rough one and it mustn't bo run over in a hurry. Take your time— pick your way* and keep your eyes open— and you will arrive at the end of your journeys, without getting sore-footed, and perfectly satisfied with whatever acids may have been mingled with tho snctharine juices of life. Don't be too eager to get rich. Take your time for that—and, above all, take your pick out of those lovely candidates for matrimony, which adorn the fair dominion of maidenhood. The girls are beautiful blossoms that bud and bloom spontaneously, ns it were, along tho lonely walks of celibacy. Grasp them not too hastily, lest you be pierced with thorns—and remember, too, that the fairest and sweetest flowers the soonest lose their beauty and fragrance. Therefore, take your time and look for feminine posies, from which may bo extracted the essence of admiration, even when they become withered in autumn, and their gay corolla of outward attraction shall have fallen faded to earth. If you can't do this, kiss where you can, and charge me with the damage.

My young beloved sisters in sin—I know you all have an itching desire to get married and I fain would see you happy in the sacred bands of Hymen, and your hearts garlanded with the never-fading wreaths of love. But just wait your time, my dears, or your prospects of matrimony will be as slim as a crop of corn in a cow-pasture. If you flirt with fools—flutter round fops—and follow the gentlemen, instead of waiting for the gentle* men to follow you—you will, probably, soon be compelled to take your own time and, perchance, be left to decay, wither and dry up in the cold uncongenial atmosphere of neglect. Act with becoming modesty—sit still upon the blooming banks of Love's limpid water, as you throw out your enticing flies for us fish to bite at—don't run up and down the stream in search of suckers that merely smell of the bait and never hitch on but keep quiet, wait with patience, and you will get at least a cat-fish for your pnins. But you, ye frailer sisters of iniquity—who have no virtue to protect, no characters to lose, nor hopes to be blasted—I suppose you are bound to take your time instead of taking my advice. Poor unfortunates) Go it with a gallop down the dark avenues of error, that lead straight to perdition 1 I havo not the moral power to restrain you and yet if! could only get hold of your petticoats «s you approach the precipice, I'd hang on, till I heard something snap beside a corset-string. fr

My hearers—whatever yeu do let it be done \rtth an honesty of purpose—a willingness of disposition-—* cheerfulness of heart—and always to the tune of «Take your met Miss Lacy.' So mote it be 1

From the Newark Sentinel

THE VOYAGE TO THE MEDITEBRAHBAJf. letters to the 16th of May Were received here yesterday from (be American Missionaries at Jerusalem. The numerous friends of Mr. and Mrs- Whiting, in hia quarter will tie gratified to learn that the? were prosecuting their responsible labors without interruption, and in

good

inalih. Raider* contemplating a voyage to the East will bt interested by the subjoined extract: Jtmuni, 16th May, 1843.

An America* steamer, which haabegun to ran from Constantinople to Beirut, came down to!affa and Mr. Smith, Mr. Calhoun of Smyrna, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter, ano Mr. Cbaaaeand, stepped on board, and were in Jerusalem in Ida than two daya from B. Thia would not be much in your rail road and steam country but here we think it wonderful- For myself I ilmoat envied our friends their quick and eaar

peerage,

Malta, France and England, .. England to the United States,

Since this estimate was made the N. Y. Packcts have reduced the price ofpassage to $75, which reduces the estimate $90.

"MOUNTAIN SCENERY.

There is something in the wildness and sublimity of mountain scenery that tends to mind us rather of eternity than decay. The perishable works of man are no whero to be seen. No city lies in gloomy ruins, to show the outline of faded areatness no remnant of a sanctuary here stands to show the worship that haa passed away. We see no failing records of.the glorious deeds of these whose names are limrnt in the history'a pan. We stand upon the mountain and we scarcely know that man exists upon the earth. This is not the land where arls have died, or science been forgot those rocks never echoed the eloquence of orators, or the song of poets these waters never bore the proud ships of the merchant the soil never yielded to man the fruit of hta industry. It ia not there that the finger of time can be recognized. In vain would he set his mark on snows that never fail or disturb the fast bound form of adamantine ice. In vain heatretches out his his hand where the rushing torrent and the wavering water fall, blest with sn eternity of youth, dash along their head-long course regardless of the blightning power that withers strength, or lulls to rest the creation and the creature of mortality. Here may we pause and say thai Time has lost its power.— Here may we view the faint efforts of Time overthrown in an instant. Changes they are but the work of an hour has defeated the slow progress of decay. The lightning of the thunderstorm, the blowing tempest, theengnlphing-flood, the over-spreading avalanche, have effaced from the surface of nature the impress of time, and left naught in the change to remind us of age. Surely there am scenes in life which seem created to awaken in mankind the recollection, that even Time can lose its power- Who will not feel the nothingness of the pleasures, the cares, nay, even the socrows of our petty span, when for a moment he dwells with his heart and soul upon the thoughts of an eternity! Yes, it will sober the gay—it will comfort the grieved.—Bvsarrfr "Why has not a man a microscopic eyet For this cause, simply because a man is not a—fly.", 5-:?*4

Mr. Paine, of S. Leicester, Mass., Kas improved tho microscope so as to bo enabled to to present by its aid a perfect representation of objects both in perspective and when opake. He gives the following curious description of the larvse of a fly:—"I had placed it," said he under the action of 3,000,000 powers, which gave a representation on the screen 12 feet long.

of course necessary to have your money either in specie, (which is convenient) qr in bills of exchange or letters of credit, on England, which you can easily procure in

pool will serve you all over the Levant. As to letters of introduction, if you take the route to England, snd thence by steam up the Mediterranean, you scarcely need any until you reach Beirut, and I am sure you will not need any there. In touching at Gibralter, Malta. Alexandria, &cM it is customary to call on the Consul immediately, (whether with a letter or without makes no difference) and he gives you all the information you need. With the Consuls at all these places, as also in Smyrna, Constantinople, &c., Iam acquainted. And on your return, I could give you letters to persons in France and England. The packet from Alexandria and Beirut is, with her passengers, subjected to a quarantine at Beirotof7or 14 days. To avoid thia inconvenience, it might be well to land at Malta, ana proceed thence by steamers to Smyrna (making short trip to Constantinople also) and so to Beirut

the Austrian line. Now' as to the season of the year. Thil country should be visited in the spring—April and May are the pleasantest months—and the climate is as salubrious at that season as any other. It is true we sometime* have the plague in the country in.the spring: but for some years past we have not had much trouble pt anxiety from the plague.

I think if I were to make this voyage from the United States, I would embark for England, towards the end of February, say the 15th or 20th. Leaving my visit in England till my return, 'when the season will be finer) I would soon proceed to Malta. At Malta I would inquire about the health of Egypt and Syria, and learn how many days quarantine there would be in going from Alexandria to Beirut and then determine wnich of the two routes to Syria I would take. If circumstances favored it, I should like to see Alexdria, and run up to Cairo and look at tho Pyramids. And that wOula be the right season to visit Egypt. (1 suppose you would hardly think of going up the Nile to Thebes. If so, January or February would be the time for that. It takes about 2 months to go up and return to Alexandria.) I might thus expect to be in Syria early in April. After spending a month or two. it would be a pleasant season to run up to Smyrna, and Constantinople spend a few days in Greece, and then proceed to Malta, or Marseilles, where are 20 dayt quarantine. These days of qaarantine at Malta are passed very comfortably. There is always company there and with a few books, and letters and journals to write, the time passes away pleasantly and rapidly. Or, going first to Smyrna, and returning by Alexandria, 1 should avoid the quarantine at Beirut. After taking pratique, at Malta, I should be free once more, ana could, on my return, touch at Naples, Rome, Venice, &c. if I chose, and so pass through France, and see England in summer, which every one says is the best season. (On coming over first, I should find Parliament in season, and could attend for a few nights.)

You no doubt are aware that the way te get into the Mediterranean with the least expense is to take passage in a merchant vessel to Smyrna as we missionaries ao. And sometimes yon can have a pretty comfortable passage that way. The usual time from Boston to*Smyrna is from 35 to 45 days, and tbo passage $100 and found. For myself, I prefer a sailing vessel, on some account, to a steamer though of course one needs more patience.

The best season for visiting Egypt is in winter A traveller would do well to land in that country say the middle of January. The steamers leave England for Alexandria about the first of every month, and reach Alexandria the 16th or 18th. The weather is then delightful. And after visiting Egypt, he would then arrive in Palestine at a good timo.

N. B. No traveller in these countries should be without Robinson's Researches. This work is worth more than all other books of travels on Palestine put together, and with the Bible, it ia nearly sufficient. The Modern Traveller on Egypt, Palestine, and Syria, is a useful book.

VANZANDT, p.,re8peoirnlljrin-

forms his friends and the public generally, that he has returned to St. Louis, Missouri, where he will continue to devote his time to the practice of the different branches of his profession, and especially to the treatment of diseases of the Eye and Ear. To thisportion of his art, he has given much attention, and during the last thirteen months he visited Europe with a view to avail himself of all the lights which European skill and science have thrown upon it. In Edinburg, Glasgovy, Berlin and Paris, he attended lectures delivered oh this subject, b^ the most distinguished professors, and in the Same cities, he assiduously attended the hospitals, and infirmaries where such diseases were exclusively treated, and whore operations were constantly performed. Being thus enabled to add to his own ... derived from latter# hlrtlMlf,

experience of many years, the knowledge derived from the skill and experience of others, hn flat that those who are laboring under diseases of the eye or ear, and who will confide- themselves to his care, will obtain permanent relief.

During the earning winter, Doctor Vanzandt proposes to deliver a course of lectures of twelve weeks, touching the Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology. of the eye and ear, and the mode of treatment of the diseases to which those organs are subject apart of the course will be clinical,'perhaps sufficiently so to exhibit and illustrate most 01 the causes of diseases by which these organs are effected.

would refer the reading public to the numerous voluntary letters published recently in the Good Samaritan relative to the happy and beneficial effects of the administration of

DR. MOFFAT'S LIFE PILLS ANDPHGBNIX BITTERS Those who have perused the letters above referred to will observe, that in almost every case they attest the fact, that no inconvenience of any sort attends tbe taking of these medicines, in ordinary cases, bat that the patient without feeling their operation, ia universally left in a stronger and better atate of health than was experienced previous to being afflicted with disease snd in all cases of acute suffering, greet relief is obtained in a few hours, and a sure ts generally effected in two or three dsys.

In case of FEVER of every description, and all billions affections, it is unnecessary for me to say aught, as I believe the LIFE MEDICINES are now nniversally admitted to be the moat needy and effectual cure extsnt in sll diseases of that efaas.

The LIFE MED1CINE8 are also a most excellent relief in affections of the Liver snd Bowels, ss baa been proved in hundreds of esses where petients have come forward and requested that their experience in taking them might be published for the benefit of others. in their operation in such esses, tbey restore the tons of the Stomach, strengthen tbe digestive organs, and invigorate tbe general functiona of ths whole body, and thus become to both sexes (for they are perfectly adapted to each) an invaluable mesne of preventing disease snd restoring health.

In affections tf ike head, whether accompanied with

multiplied symptoms of disordered digestion, the LIFE MEDICINES will be found to possess the most salutary efficacy.

Cathartic compound combines smallnesa of bulk with efficiency, and comparative mildness df purgative action, and having a peculiar tendency -to the biliary organa. Is extreigely valuable in this spuntry, in which billions fevers and other complaints attended with congestion of the liver so much abound. They have ROW stood the test of 16 years, and experience has proved them to be a safe ana valuable remedy, in Intermittent, Remittent, and Bilious Fever, Jaundice, Bilious Cholic, Indigestion, Dropsy, Dysentery, Bilious Vomitings, Colds, and all complaints of an inflammatory character. The complete and universal satisfaction which has been given by these pills, to sll who hsve once used them, renders the publishing of the numerous certificates in their favor unnecessary. To prevent counterfeiting, they are now put up in a red zylogrnphic wmppor. Price 83 cents lor a box contain.ng 30 Pills.

TIMES ARE SAD^Y CHANGED.

/rTJsl N slmost every walk of life, the truth of this vkj proverb stares one full in the face. But «o where we may, and in what shape or form shall we fina the times so sadly changed as in the practice of medicine. Docs a man catch a serious cold—he must take a dose of calomel and jalap—should lie have afoul or bilious stomach, it will take a box of blue pills, or a package of neat little powders, impregnated with the all infallible mercury, to relieve him. A twinge of the gout—a limb swelled with rheumatism—a pain in the Bide—a severe headache—In fact, almost every spcciea of disease to which human nature is liable, however slight may be the attack, this universal poison isemployed to relieve suffering humanity—not "only employed. but a heavy expense is actually incurred by the sufferer for prescribing, or ordering from the apothecary, this wonderful mineral, in all its diversified forms.

Let us look at the result* In New York, with a popuation of 300,000. we have upwards of 7000 dcatns per annum. In thfi intelligent city, then, where most people are so careful of thejr heslthses to confine then)set yes duringt he slightest st tack, and call in medical advice, We have about Si deaths among etery JOOO inhabitants. Mark the contrast I csn point out a sinsle town in New England, within 24 hours ride of New York, containing 4000 inhabitants, where there does not occur ten deaths within the year—and many of these are persons from 70 to 90 years of age!

The principal physician in this place is Dr.—--, with whom I am well acquaint* d. He uses principally vegetable medicines prepared by his own hsnd,— it is only in some desperate eases that he employs mercury, or calomel, in any shspe. The consequence is he ts successful in the hifthest degree in his practice—and is frequently called 20 miles distant. I may further remark. he is a consciencions man—for he never attempt^ the treatment or a case that lie does not understand.

I might adduce a thousand Instances where the happy effects of myomn mcdicines, the LIFE PILLS & rHCENlX BITTERS, have been plainly manifest in* desperate coses—to say nothing of their almost universal approval in ordinary attacks of dfoease, 1 do not offer my-medicines to the public sa infallible—or as possessing any mysterious ingredients—I offer them solely ns good vegetable preparations, which I solemnly believe will by a fair trial, conquer most of the prevalentdiseases of the day. I have in my office, at 373 Broad way, indubitable proofs of this faet. Thousands ol my fellow citizens, in all pans of the Union have voluntarily sent me statements the most flattering, of their experience in the use of the LIFE PILLS ft PHCENIX BITTERS —many cases in this city and elsewhere, I have personally attendedall whieh have proved favorable to my previously formed opinion, that in nine cases out of ten, among tho ordinary diseases whieh our phisicians universally treat with preparations from calomel and other minerals—a good vegetable mtiitine would be far preferable.

One word, then, of advice. The LIFE PILLS & PHCENIX BITTERS are solely vegetable. In their operation, they act powerfully upon ths secretions, and tnua tend to equalise the diatrihution orciftulation of the blood throughout the system—removing therefrom all bad humors, and restoring even to the complexion of the invalid a passing glownf health. Which he afterwsrds retains. There are many young persons of sedentary occupations, psrticukrly females, who era often afflicted with an oppression of ths internal organs—whieh is generally the effect of an uncoual distribution of the blood, consequent on their employment Such afflictions, though sli|
