FROM Hfcf. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS TO HIS ,SON 9HjTPJi ^iB.S .*30 ITS TKACUL^GS. tEttc* ir.
We were considering the Bible in its historical character, and as the history of it. foniiHf.' From thq tnoim-nt when the "universal history vanishes, that of Abraham begins, and thenceforth it is the history of a family of which Abraham is the first and Jesus Christ the last person and from the first appearance of Abraham, the whole history appears to have been ordered from age to age, expressly to prepare for the appearance of Uhrist upon earth. The history begins With the first and mildest trials of Abra* ham's obedience, and the promise as reward «f his fidelity, that in "him all the families of the earth should be blessed." The second trial which required the sacrifice of his son, was many years afterwards, and the promise was more explicit, and more precisely assigned as the reward of his obedience.
There were
between these periods two intermediate occasions, recorded in the 15th and 28th chapters of Genesis—on the first ofwhich the word of the Lord came to Abraham in a vision, and promised him lie should have a child, from whom a great and mighty nation should proceed, which, alter being in servitude 400 vears In a strange land, should become the possessors of the land of Canaan from that ofi Rgypt to the river Euphrates. On the second the Lord appeared to him and his wife, repeated the promise that they should have a child, that "Abraham
?&XhVn«.ioTo? fhe canh shield
be blessed in him," "for I know him, sarth the Lord that he will command his household after him, and that they will keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which He hath spoken of him from all which it Is obvious thai the first of the promises was made as subservient and instrumental to the second—that the great and mighty nation was to be raised as the means in the ways of God's providence for producing thtf sacred person of Jesus Christ, through whom the perfect sacrifice of atonement for the original transgression of man should be consummated, and by which "all the families of the earth shall ho blessed." I am so little versed in comroversal divinity that I know not whether this xviiith chapter of Genesis has ever been adduced in support of the doctrine of Trinity there is at least in it an alteration of those divine persons, and of one not a little remarkable which I know not how to txpiain if taken in connection with the 19th, it would seem that one of the men entertained by Abraham, was God himself, and the other two, were angels, sent to destoy Sodom. Leaving this, however, let me ask your particular attention to the reason assigned by God for bestowing such extraordinary blesssings upon Abraham. It unfolds to us the first and most important part of the superstructure of moral principle, erected upon the foundation of oliedience to the will of (Sod.

is Justice and Judgment towards Man kind and this exhibited a* the result naturally following front the other. In the same chapter is related the intercession of Abrahm with God for the preservation of Sodom from destruction the city was destroyed for its crimes, but the Lord promised Abrahm it should be spared if only ten righteous should be found in it the principle of mercy was therefore sanctioned in immediate connection wfth that of justice. Abraham had sev-

The History of Abraham and his descendants to the close of the book of Genesis, is a biography of individual* tfce incidents related of them are all of the class he. longing to domestic life. Joseph, indeed, became a highly distinguiithed public character in the land 6 Egypt, and it was through that his father and all his brothrers were fitmly settled there which was necessary to prepare for the existence of their posterity as a nation, and to fulfil the purpose which God had announced to Abraham, that they should be four hundred years in a strange land, in the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph, many miraculous events arc recorded, but all those which are spoken of as happening in the ordinary course of human affairs have an air of reality about them, which no invention could imitate. In some of transactions related, the conduct of the patriarchs are highly Mamealde cir cuinstances of deep depravity are particularly told of Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, upon which it is necessary to remark that their actions are never spoken of with approbation, but always with strong marks of censure, and generally with a minute account of the punishment which followed upon their transgressions. The vices and crimes of the patriarchs are sometimes alleged as objections against the belief that persons guilty of them should ever have bee es« peeiallv favored„of God, but,
they were,there is every reason to believe that they were less so than their eotemporaries their vices appear to us at this day, gross, disgusting and atrocious, but the the written law was not then given, the boundaries between right and wrong were not defined with the same, precision as in tha tables given afterward to Moses the law of nature was the only rule of morality by which they could be governed, and the sins of intemperance, of rvery kind recorded in Holy Writ, were at that period less aggravated than they been in after ages, because they were in a great measure sins of ignorance,— From time to time when the sons of Jacob were settled in Egypt until the completion of the four hundred years, during which God had foretold to Abraham that his family should dwell there, there is a chasm in sacred history.— We are expressly told that all the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were three score and ten it is said then that Joseph died, as did all that generation after which nothing farfther is re-

This was the cause which had been reserved by the Supreme Creator during the space of three generations and more than four centuries, as the occasion for eventually bringing them out of the land for, in proportion as they multiplied, it had the tendency to excite the jealousies and fears of the Egyptian kings—as actually happened. These jealousies and fears suggested to him a policy of the most intolerable oppression and most execrable cruelty toward the Israelites not contented with reducing them to the most degraded condition of servitude, and making their lives bitter with hard bondage, he conceived the project of destroying the whole race, by ordering all male children to be murdered as soon as they were born. In the wisdom of Providence this very command was the means of preparing this family—when they had multiplied into a nation—for their issue from Egypt, and for their conquest of the land which had been promised to Abraham and it was at the same time the immediate occasion of raising up the great Warrior, Legislature and Prophet, who was to be their deliverer and leader.

CANADIAN VERMIFUGE
A
Certain remedy for Worm*.
rilHIS medicine is safe in its operation, and 'nore easily administered than any other. The greatest cause of death among children is to be attributed to Worms. They give rise to numerous diseases, and are the more fatal because the least suspected were parents to give this subject more attention, and carefully observe the symptoms which indicate the existence of worms in the bowels, the live* o! ninny children wmuid doubt be noted. Some of the symptoms tire as follows: fhe countenance is of a pale or a leaden color, and suffused with occasional flushes, the eyes are heavy and dull, had breath, itching in the nostrils, the sleep is disturbed, the patient often awakening in great fright, and is liable to starting and grinding the teeth, the appetite i9 irregular, being sometimes voracious and at other tithes feeble, occasional vomiting, &c. 1vr'j Canadian Vermifuge has acquired a reputation far exceeding that of any other medicine of the kind, and is daily increasing in popularity, wherover it is known and used it is universally approved it possesses properties which no other article of the kind does, it is mornprnmpi and rjficimt in its action, and entirely free from ingredients which have any but a beneficial efloct, the nealth of the patient being always improved even when no worms are discovered. Physicians prescribe it, and to use the language of one in high standing, who resides in Cleveland, Ohio, consider it "the onlv article of the kind he ever saw that was so uniform and prompt in expelling worms it may indeed be relied on with the utmost confidence, as it has rtper been knotm to/ml, this is the reason why all who have used it will not use any other.
We have in our possession a number of certificates from physicians and others of the highest respectability, who all testify to its superior efficacy and recommend it as a never-failing remedy.
READ AND BE CONVINCED!^ We, the undersigned, have frequently administered a medicine prepared by Mr. John W{W, of this town, designated "J. Winer's Canadian Vermifuge," and being fully satisfied with its efficacy, confidently recommend it as a safe and efficient remedy for the expulsion of worms from the intestinal canal.

Messrs. J.

I at length procured a bottle of yoor Canadian Vermifuge, and gave it to her, which caused her to pass a larp number of worms since then she has been in tl enjoyment of perfect health. From my own experience I would recommend your Vermifuge as neing the most safe and effectual remedy for worms now in use. Yours, truly.

HE Great Flood of 1847 will be long remembered in many parts of the West. The swollen seemed to know no bounds, but rising higher and higher, carried dismay to the inhabitants. Merchants were obliged to remove their warts from the rivers' sides to remoter places families were compelled to desert their dwellings the poor suffered more severely than language can describe. The public authorities were called on to administer aid and counsel. In short a great public calamity had occurred.
Well would it be if the sad consequences of the flood had ceased when the waters subsided. But no! JGrThe retiring waves left vast alluvial deposites, which in a few months must give out that deleterious miasm which produces bilious diseases.
What says the celebrated Dr. Ferguson on this point? Answer: "The cause of bilious derangement has its principal source in half-dried margins of rivers." All history and experience prove this theory. When the British army encamped on the plain of Estramadura, at a time when the river Guadiana had become dry after a flood, remittent and intermittent fevers raged among the troops with such malignity, that they came nigh being

therefore earnestly call the attention of the entire West to their most extraordinary and celebrated series of Anti-Bilious medicines. In any locality where there is the slightest tendency to any form of Fever, Fever and Ague, Dumb Ague and the likr, the inhabitants should at once send to the General Agent of the district, and have a Graefenberg depot established near them. Were this don* and the Graefenbem Vegetable Pills and Health Bitters used ac6ordttte to directions, there would be no fear of bilious diseases.
So important are the Graelenberar Medicine* to the people of the West, that the following steps shdutd be immediately taken. 1st Every neighborhood should have its Graefenberg Depot By addressing the General Agent of any District this can be secured. 2d. Families should club together and get an imat up 3d. Emigrant Societies and other philanthropic bodies should furnish them to the needy.
By such means bilious diseases will be entirely prevented. other medicines of the Company are most eminently adapted to the diseases for which they are recommended and consist of the following!
The Graefenberg Eye Lotion, the Children's Panacea, the Green Mountain Ointment, the consumptive's Balm, the Dysentery Syrup.

THE undersigned, thankful for the very liberal patronage ne has received from the public and anxious to merit and receive furtljer favors in his line of business, would say that he is still manufacturing Wagons, Carts, Drtfcrs and all kinds of heavy vehicles at short notice and of the very best materials the country can fufnish—both Timber and Iron—and his workmankhip where known will speak for itself, and as it is the way he makes his living he cannot afford to do bad work and use bad materials. If he were a merchant, and could get work made up for Calicoes and Ribbons, without any hard knocks of his own, and could use puddle iron, such work could be sold cheap, and if such work be wanted (these hard time?,) he can make and sell wagons at sixty dollars. His painting is not done in a gaudy style, (to draw the attention from a close inspection of parts more vital to a good article,) but plain and of the best red lead or any other plain color that may be wanted. He uses none but Shoenberger's best Juniata iron, and if his or some other good maker's name is not found stamped on the tire and other parts, beware of it He warrants his wagons, materials, and workmanship, for two years, but not being a merchant wagon-maker, be is not prepared to barter off his work, but will give every facility he can to his friends, at his old stand, (a little east of the two spinnii
