WILD CHERRY AND SAR3APARILLA .
DR. LE BOY, a Licentiate of the Royal College of Phys
lci.tnn iu London, having used in his private practice, for a
number of year, the
WILD CHERRY AND SARSAPARILLA.
at length made an extract of them, which with other veg
etables, be has combined iu one - f the b?t Pills ever made
known to the European Community, and which met the
attention of the American people. They are the most
ulilcaciou purgative and tonic yet discovered.
THE WILD CHERRY
is an excellent tonic, possessing astringent and aromatic
properties, which make it valuable in Uyspepsia, Jaundice,
weakness of the Stomach and chest.
THE SARSAPARILLA
U demulcent, diuretic and soothing, aad is given In Ilheu
i it'min. Scrofula. Diseases of th kin. and to eradicate
tae b l elTecls of Mercury. In the operations of aa otner
jjurg-iiive medicines debilitation and purification go hand
in hand ; they remove the good, as weU as the bad : thus
weakening the !ytem. whie".i they were only 'required to
cleanse, and making the cure generally almost as bad, and
fmiucntly much worse than the disease. Dr. L Roy's
Pills, on the contrary, strengthen and tone the system
wiiich they purge and purify. And this i their peculiar
attribute, and the principal cause of their unrivalled popu

are too well known to medical men and the community to

Great king ot trance, emperor of the East
was Dorn in 7tJ, at the chateau ot Saltz-
burg, in Upper Bavaria. He was the son
of queen Bertrade and Pepin the Short, on
the death ot whom, in 768, he was crowned
Fiance with Carloman, his
Uut tlic cunjitions of tU
partition were frequently changed with
out ever giving mutual satisfaction, and
the nobles, who had long sought to weaken
the royal authority, would, without doubt,
lave profited by the animosity which exist
ed between these two princes, if the death
of Carloman, which took place in 771, had
not given Charlemagne an opportunity of
becoming sole king ol t ranee, by prevent-
ng the succession ot his nephews. 1 heir
mother Med with them to Italy, and found
a protector in Desiderius,. king of the
Lombards. They fell into the hands of
Charlemagne, on the taking of Veronal and
of their future fate, - history says nothing.
If Pepin had heed of courage, activity and
extreme prudence to . found a new domin
ion, Charlemagne found it necessary to
enchain the minds of men by fear and ad
miration, for the means employed to effect
usurpation, hail enfeebled the' sovereign
power. '
The people of. Aquitania were the first
who tried to aim at independence. Char
lemagne marched against them with a small
force, but he relied 'upon 'Carloman, his
brother, 'to whom a part of Aqiiitania be
longed, and who, in consequence, was com
pelled to unite with him. Carloman found
him, at the appointed spot, at iho head of
his troops, but fearing to fall before the
power of his brother, Carloman hastily re
traced his steps. Abandoned thus, unex
pectedly, in a manner which, could not fail
to encourage the. rebels, Charlemagne did
not hesitate for a moment: without consi
dering the number of his followers, nor that
of his enemies, lie 'pursued his way, gained
a bi lliant victory (770.) arranged the af
fairs of Equitania with a promptitude and
foresight which displayed the energy of a
great man, and the skill of a politician, and
disconcerted the tributary princes of
France, who thought to profit by the youth
of ihe monarch. When Charlemagne
found himself sole master of- France,-he
formed the project of "subjugating the Sax
ons. - These people, who were still pagans,
occupied a large portion of Gei manyj like
all barbarous, they preferred plunder to
fixed establishments, and tliey were divid
ed into many tribes, whom it was difficult
to unite in the same interest, Charlemagne
beean to waie war upon them in 72, and
large-portion of France against him Fly
ing to the scene of action with the rapidity
whuh the danger rendered neceaaary,
Charlemagne seized the person of Desider
ius, sent him to tmd.his days in a monaste
ry, and caused himself to be crowned king
uf Lombardy, in 774. Thus ended that
kingdom which shortly afterwards took its
ancient name of Italy, but which preserv
ed the laws it had received from the Lom
bards. - - . .

but his troops, on their return, were de
featod jn the pass of Roncesvalles, by a
pi rt of the Saracens, and the mountain
Gascons, the untruly tributaries of Char
lemagne who were so intractable, that
more than thirty years, afterwards, strong
forces were required to oppose them. At
this battle, fell the famous Roland, whose
fate has been celebrated by romance
writers and poets. The disaffection of the
inhabitants of Aquitania having induced
Charlemagne to give them a separate mon
arch, he chose the vouno-cst of his sons.
Louis, well known as Lruis the Milt!. 77S.
At the same time the. continual efforts of
the Lombards and Greeks to reconauer
Italy, and the want of fidelity in his no
bles, made him feel the necessity of rally
ing them about the throne, and he gave
them for a king, Pepin, the second of his
sons; the eldest, who bore the name of !
Charles, remained vith him toassist.lum
in his expeditions. He had another son,
Pepin, whose mother he had reoudiated.
This son, having been convicted of taking
part in a conspiracy asainst him. was devot
ed to the monastic life.
On his return from Spain, Ch;.rlemagne
ound himself obliged to march against the
Faxons, and each year renewed the neces
sity of a warlike expedition. , lie caused
4,50Q of them to be put to death ;, a fero

and invigorate their resistance. Thence

ing at an inn at New-York, met with a
gentleman who gave him some liquor, and
being rather lively, the Indian boasted he
could read and write 'English. The gen
tleman, willing to indulge him in display
ing Ms knowledge, begged leave to pro
pose a question ; to winch the old man
consented : He was then asked, who was
the first circumcised? The Indian im
mediately answered, Father Abraham; and
directly asked the gentlemen who was the
first Quaker? He said it was very uncer
taiu, as people differed in their sentiments
exceedingly. The Indian perceiving the
gentleman unable to resolve his question,
put his fingers int his mouth, to express
surprise and looking steadfastly, told him
that Mordecai was the first Quaker, for he
would not pull off his hat to Hamad.
