AYER’S CATHARTIC PILLS.

The sciences of Chemistry and Medicine have been taxed their ut- mest to produce this best, most perfect purgative which is known to mau. Innumerable proofs are shown that these Pitts have virtues which surpass in excellence the ordinary medicines, aod that they win uapre- eedentedly upon the esteem of all men. They are safe and pleasant to take, but powerful to cure. Their penetrating properties stimulate the vital activities of the body, remove the obstructions of its organs, purify the blood, and expel disease. They purge out the foul humors which | breed and grow distemper, stimulate sluggish or disordered organs iuto their natural actiou,and impart a healthy tone with strength to the whole eystem. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but alzo formidable and dangerous diseases that have baffled the best of | human skill. While they produce powerful effects, they are at the same time, in diminished doses, the safest and best physic that can be employed for children. Being sugar-coated, they are pleasant to take; add being purely vegetable, are free from any risk of harm. Cures have been made which surpass belief were they not substantiated by men of such exalted position and character as to forbid the suspicion of antruth. Many eminent clergymen and physicians have lent their names to certiy to the public the reliability of my remedies, while others have sent mo tho assurance of their conviction that my preparations contribute immensely to the relief of my afflicted, suffering fellow-men.

The Agent is pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac, con- taining directions for their use and certificates of their cures, of the following complaints :— : . ie

Costiveness, Billious Complaints, Rheumatism, Dropsy, Heartburn, | Headache aris ng from a foul stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, M orbid In- action of the Bowels and Pains arising therefrom, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, all Ulcerous and Cutaneous Diseases which require an evacu- ant medicine, Scrofula or King’s Evil. They also, by purifying the blood and stimulating the system, cure many complaints which it would not be supposed they could reach, such as Deafness, Partial Blindness, | Neuralgia avd Nervous Irritability, Derangement of the Liver and Kidneys, Gout, and other kindred complaints arising from a low state of

bstraction of its functions. ‘ E Oe ts ay off by some unprincipled dealers with some other pill they make more profit on. Ask for AreR’s Pius, and take nothing eise.

WITHERED FLOWERS.

Strange are the memories, oh, withered flowera, That to my heart ye bring in wordless speech ; Brightly as sunshine falls on distant towers And gilds their outlines—of the past ye teach.

Por from my childhood and its sunny pleasures, As with a key, ye turn the lock of years,

Ye lift the lid, and bring forgottten treasures Before these eyes that watch the store with tears.

Have ye a mirror in your withered petals, Wherein | read the history of my youth,

That ye give back like glass or polistied met:ls A thousand visions fraug’t with light and truth ?

Again I view my home at quiet even ; Lhe sparrows hopping on the gabled eaves, Windows illumined by the crimson heaven,

Varnished with joy and framed with quivering leaves.

I seem to hear the murmur of the river, As it flows on beneath the arching bridge ;

To see the moonlight with its white-hued shiver, Lying in bands upon the pebbly ridge.

And, stranger still, | have thgself-same feeling That traeed the letters of old romance :

The glow of love, o’er all around me dealing One hue of joy —that old forgotten trance.

A moment since, and some unknown connexion Gave me a strange reality of bliss :

I pressed another's hand in dear affeetion ; 1 felt my forehead glow beneath a kiss.

Now —but the light is vanished from my spirit, A cloud conceals the splendour of my sky. low could [ build on mortals who inherit The common fate—to live —to love—to die!

For they are dead, those loved ones. Life is floeting, And steals away the props on which we trust ; Leaving one only hope of future meeting, A stamp for memory, and a hezp of dust.

Leaving affections like these withered flowers, That we may hold and turn with reverent hands ; And thoughts that picture out the glorious bowers, Of which these figures are but shadowed bands.

THE LEGEND OF BARNEY O'CARROLL. (From Blackwood’s Magazine.)

Out there where the big waves is breakin’, An’ dancin’ an’ foamin like mad, On a beautiful warm autumn evenin’ Was strollin’ a young fisher-lad ; For the place where the say is now foamin’ Was then just as bare as your hand ; An’ where that blue wather is curlin’ Was only a broad yellow strand.

Well, the fisher-boy, Barney O'Carroll, Was hot~—he kem down for a dip;

An’ as he was peelin’, behould you } He scen a most charmin’ young slip

Tn a state that was mighty provokin’— She'd only stepped out of her clothes :

An’ there she was singin’, while combin’ Bright hair that lowed down to her tues.

‘+ Blur an agers,”’ ses Barney, “ what is she ? Or where does she come from at all ;

Be the mortial, I°}) ax iv she’s married— Iy she isn’t I'll give her a eall.”’

So stalin’ up close to the coleen He bid her the time o° the day ;

When turnin’ she glanced at boald Burney, An’ pop! she was undber the say,

** She’s only a mermaid,’’ thought Barney, An’ pondherin’ shoreward he goes, As he picked upa green cloak, exclamin’, ** She'll surely come back for her clothes.’’ **Oh! give me my cloak,’’ cried a sweet voice, That seemed to come up from the waye— Bat Barney ran home like a eay-lark, The cloak an’ his body to saye.

That night there was tempest, an’ Barney Put off with some lads to a wreck ;

But only one beautiful maiden Remained of the crew on the deck.

She was saved by the courage of Barney ; An’, as a reward for her life,

Became, ere the autumn fruit withered, His fond an’ endearin’ young wile.

Now all things were thrivin’ with Barney, Not forgettin’ *‘ herself’ an’ twin boys, But the fool couldn’t keap his tongue quiet ; An’ by way of expandin’ his joys,

He tould her about the fair mermaid, An’ how he tuk care of her cloak ;

‘« The story,’’ says she, ‘* you bosthoon, Is no more nor a bottle o’ smoke.”’

«*O that I may lose you this minit, But it’s trath that I’m tellin’ to you.”

‘«« Why, then, show me the cloak,’’ ses the darlin’, ** For [im sure it’s a thing you can’t do.”’

«¢ Arrah, can’t [?°’ ses he ; ** just come this way, An’ say did you e’er see the match

For complateness, an’ splendor an’ beauty, With what I’ve above in the thatch ?”’

He stepped on a three legged creepeen, An’ just where the thatch met the wall,

Tuk down what appeared a tay-caddie, With its varnish an’ paintin’, an’ all :

An’ he opened the lid—-when his fut slipped, An’ sos, he came down on the flure —

Then, L’m tould, that the look that she gev him Was what you might call kill or cure.

‘© © be all the salt waves in the ocean !’”_ Ses Barney—*‘ Don’t curse,’ ses the wife ;

«« For the time I have to stay with you, Barney, Let us haye no hot wather, nor strife :

You have been very kind to me, darlin’— But this cloak o’ mine you tuk away.

‘‘ Oh, murdher!’’ cried Barney, ‘‘ ’twas you, then, That spoke to me out of the say.”’

‘‘ Troth it was,’’ ses she ; ‘‘ I am the mermaid That called to you out o’the wave— What's more, I’m the beautifal creathur You kem thro’ the tempest to save.

| An’ as long as my cloak you kep from me,

A mermaid I ne’er more could be.”’ ‘* Oh! iv I knew that, [’d have pledged it,” See Barney—‘* Acushla machroe!” »

‘** You’re no mermaid at all—sure no mermaid Or other maid ever had boys—

Here childher’’—he turned for 2 moment Consavin’ he heard a quare noise —

A noise like the boom 0’ the ocean When gently it kisses the shore.

Now Barney has pressed to his fond heart The sweet wife he ne'er shal] press more.

‘* Farewell, I must lave you, acushla— Don’t you hear how they call me away ?” Ev'ry thread of her graen cloak that minit Melted into a wave o’ the say ! Av’ surgin’, an’ singin’ such music— No wild harp was ever so sweet— Came a throop of young mermen an’ mermaids, An’ bore her clune off oy her feet!

The nate little cottage had vanished, An’, floating away in a shell, Went herself an’ the childher—poor Barney Could hardly spake more nor ‘* Farewell— Won’t you lave me one boy for a keepsake ?”’ But afore he had said one more word, Each child left the side o° the mother, And changed to a lovely say bird !

An’ foldin’ their bright wings, an’ nestlin’ On Barney’s hand, shoulder, and breast— Just as iv they wor still his dear young ones, He kissed them ; while fondly he pressed The sweet gentle things to his sad heart, An’ kissed them again; then away With the mother an’ mermen an’ mermaids The little birds flew o’gr the say!

“Why, thin, Barney, what ails you, you spalpeen ? An’ what’s this you have in your fist? — A bottle ! ov courge, nothin’ in it— No, nor in this dhudeen that you've kissed. Or what (an’ the tide makin’ swiftly) Possessed you to lie on the strand ?” ‘**T was lookin’ at somebody dhrinkin’, An’ so [ like wather at hand :

‘+ Bat ov all the sthrange sights an’ adventures That ever you heerd—an’ they’re thrue— I seen,’’—and he ris @p and tould me The story [I’ve just toald to you. ** An’,”’ evs he, ** what do you think abut it?” ** An’,’’ ses I, * drank or not, you're the same,; An’ you're tale, if not thrae, sure it’s pleasant, An’ not at all bad for a dhrame!”’

Gleanings from late Papers,

Beactiron Exraact.—Men seldom thiuk of the great event of death until the shadow falls across their own path. hiding forever from their eyes the traces uf the loved ones whose living smile was the sunlight of their existence. Death is the great antagonist of life, and the cold thouzht of the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. Wedo not want to go throuzh the dark valley, although its passages may lead to paradise; aud, with Charles Lamb, we do uot want to lie down in the muddy grave even with kings and princes for our bedfellows. But the fiat of nature is inexorable.

There is no appeal or relief from the great law which dooms us to dust. We flourish and we fade as the leaves o! the forest, and the flower that blooms and withers in a day has not a frailer hold upon life than the mightiest monarch that ever shook the earth with his footsteps. Generations of men appear and vanish as the grass, and the countless multitude that throngs the world to-day will to morrow disappear as the footsteps on the shore.

in the beautiful drama of Ion, che instinct of immortality, so eloquently uttered by the death-devoted Greek, finds a deep response in every thoughtful soul, When about to yield his young existence as a sacrifice to fate, his beloved Cle- manthe asksif they shal! not meet again, to which he replies: “T have asked that question of the hills that look eternal— of the clear streams that flow forever—of the stars, among whose fields of azure my raised spirit hath walked in glory. All were dumb. But while 1 gaze upon thy living face, I feel that there is something in the love that mantles through its beauty that cannot wholly perish. We shall meet again, Clemanthe.”

A Represgntativs.—A young urchin, employed to cleanse a chimney of a house ia Macclesfield, and having ascended to the “ summit of bis profession,” took a survey. This com- pleted, he prepared to descend, but mistaking the flue, he found himself on his landing, in the private study of a limb of the law, whose meditations on some abstruse point were put to flight. The sensation of both parties it is impossible to describe ; the boy, terrified lest he should be punished, stood riveted t> the spot, and the lawyer, struck dumb, started from his seat, the very image of horror, but spoke not. Sooty, however, scon found a. tongue, and in aceants, which ouly inereased the terror of the man of law, cried out—

‘- My father’s cumin’ directly.”

This was enough ; the presence of such an equivocal being, so introduced, unnerved his heart; with one bound the affrighted lawyer flew down stairs, and in his kitchen sought refuge from the enemy.

THE CLEARANCES ON THE DERBY ESTATES.

The Clonmel Chronicle, of recent date, supplies some fasts which, it says, may tend to enlighten the public mind upon the subject of Lord Derby's dealings with his Tij perary ten- antry. The following is a eundensed statement of the addi- tional information :-——

‘*The Coogley estate, one the emallest in the parish of Doon, contained at the time of the murder but I4 tenants, aad there has not been much difficulty in discovering who amon them have taken part in trying to detect the erimipal, an who have endeavoured to screen the murderer, and avert the retributive arm of justice by setting afloat false reporis, ca}- culated only, and no doubs artfully designed, tv mislead the magistracy. Where, we would now ask, did the false intelli- gencers of the press find their ‘‘ hundreds of families’’ that were soon to be set adrift upon the world? The few that are to leave have at least no such present doom before them ag that predicted by their sympathizers; fhey need not seck the workhouse as their sole retreat. for they are allin afflusat circumstances, owing (which of them ean deny ?) to the unre- mitting generosity of their noble landlord. and to his sense of Justice in carrying out at his own expense ali the pormenont improvements on the estate, and leaving the tenant with al! his capital to expend in cultivating the lend for hts own profit. Lord Derby did more than this. In the agreements entered into with the tenantry it was the invariable custom upon the estate to insert tenant right clauses, securing to them the value of the crops and unexhausted manural improvements to the land.

‘* When during the years of famine, the estate was covered with bat squatters and Jabourors on the bog, ani those poor people petitioned Lord Derby to send them to America, their petition was granted, and, free of expense to themselves, they were enabled toemigrate, and many of them by their imdastry | have since reaped the fruits of this liberality. All the land | then taken up was levelled over, put into excelieut order, and

‘given to the present tenants at Jow rents, and without their contributing anything by fine or otherwise to ths eost of ra- |claiming it. The occupiers of those holdings are well aware of the profit which their tenancies secured tiem —nor are they ,ignorant of how largely that profit exceeded ths advantage whieh the noble earl himself derived from the estate. But /when murder has stained this field of a landlord's generosity, \is it to be reasonably expected that heshould continue to them 'the means of profitable resource, to his own disadvantage, if | they conspire to conceal the murderer? Did no other feeling (than mere gratitude prompt the recipients of his lordship's | bounty, they should long since have come forward to denounce the criminal by openly disclosing the hidden facts of the out- rage. Itis idle to say that they are ignorant of the reason why the unhappy Crowe was vicsimised, for it is made the subject of conversation, and rather freely discussed in tho

jneighbourhood, Some of the tenants are known to be cogni-

for the exhibition at the Palais d’Industrie, umong the coul- | gant of important evidence, and if they do not come forward

lections of living artists, had it cracked in the oven of sufficient care. The porcelain 1e hundred dollars. Not loug since a baker fe!] asleep and broke $8000 worth of porcelain, for which he was obliged to pay, and consequentiy ruined, i do not kuow if you have porcelain bakers in the United States, but if you bad you would find this far preferable to many other pastimes in vogue.

Music 1n Evatanp.--There is no country where one may hear better music than in England, yet that conntry bas never produced a great composer. [Jandel was a German and Haydn was born near Vienna. Englaod has never created a school, or style peculiar to itself’ The glees of the sixteenth century will always charm, just as the Lrish melo- dies do; but they are mere fragments of the simplest kind, and have nothing in them tending to high eminence. The Kaglish know this; and they prove their good taste by never playing their own music, and by only playing the best music

Thebog being very gmall, to no other person, not even to his agent, /was a similar favour granted; and besides all this, the neble ‘lord built aud kept up two schools for the parish, though, as we have already stated, his estate was the least extensive in Doon. But the foul perpetrators and concoctors of the dread- ful outrage proceeded to the completion of their murderous purpose, reckless of past liberality, of future retribution ! One word more as to the justice of thestep which Lord Derby has taken. Possessed of an enlarged ow and an hon- orable feeling, the Earl of Derby would be the last to inflict an ‘injustice. ‘Lime is given to all the suspected tenants to clear
