THE JEWISH PILGRIM AT JERUSALEM.
Are these the ancient, holy hills, ,
Where angels walked of old !
Ia this the land our story fills
With glory not yet cold 1 '
For I have passed by many a shrine,
O'er many a land and sea,
But still, oh. ! promised Palestine,
. My dreams have been of thee.
I see thy mountain cedars green,
Thy valleys fresh and fair,
With summers bright as they have leen
When Israel's home was there ;
Though o'er thee sword and time have passed,
And cros3 and crescent shone,
And heavily the chain hath pressed,
Yet still thou art our own !
Thine are the wandering race that go
Unbless'd through every land,
Whose blood hath stained the polar snow,
And quenched the desert sand ;
' And thine the homeless hearts that turn
From all earth's shrines to thee,
With their lone faith for ages borne
In sleepless memory.
For thrones are fallen and nations gone
Before the march of time,
And where the ocean rolled alone
, Are forests in their prime ;
Since Gentile ploughshares marred the brow
Of Zion's holy hill
Where are the Roman eagles now 1
Yet Judah wanders stilL
And hath she wandered thus in vain
A pilgrim of the past 1
No ! long deferred her hope hath been,
But it shall come at last;
For in her wastes a voice I hear,
As from some prophet's uni,
It bid: the nations build not there,
For Jacob shall return.
Oh ! lost and loved Jerusalem-!
Thy pilgrim may not stay
To see the glad eaith's harvest home
In thy redeeming day;
But now resigned in faith and trust,
I seek a nameless tomb ;
At least beneath thy hallowed dust
Oh ! give the wanderer room !

From the Greensborpugh Patriot. -Trial
Of Edward BOIing.
Edward Doling, the story of whose vil
lainy has for some time filled the surround
ing country, was tried last Friday on an
indictment for Bigamy, at the Superior
Court of Rockingham county, before his
honor Judge Nash. The" rare occurrence
of the crime with which he was charged,
the respectability of the parties suffering
from it, and the novel character of the cir
cumstances attending the commission of
the offence, conspired to draw together an
unusually large crowd of spectators. But
the trial, in detail, turned out to be compa
ratively uninteresting. A very small por
tion of the train of minute but strange par
ticulars, marking thn steps of the criminal
towards the accomplishment of hi crime,
was elicited on the examination of evidence.
For the conviction of the prisoner it was
only necessary to prove his identity, and
that he had a wife living before and at the
time of his second marriage; consequently
the principal developements of the trial
consisted in the proof of these barren facts.
The case was submitted to the jury upon
the charge of the Judge, and a verdict of
"Guilty" returned after an absence of a
very few minutes.
As time will not now permit us to at
tempt a circumstantial narration of ihe af
fair, we subjoin a brief statement of the
facts, as we heard them from the trial and
from other sources.
Edward Boling, the son of a worthy
Methodist minister of Caswell county, was
married to Miss Harriet Parks, of the same
county, in July, 1838. He was 19 years
of age in May preceding his marriage; his
wife between 16 and 17.
About the last of September or first of
Uctober, 1840, a young man of genteel ap
pearance and pretty good address arrived
in Greensborough, gave his name as Sid
ney 7. Smith, and said he was from Per
ry county, Alabama, He went immediate
ly to the office of one of our lawyers and
delivered a letter which purported to be
from James Smith, of Ala., the writer sta
ting that he wished his son Sidney, the
bearer, to prosecute the study of the law
to a certain extent, so that he might be en
abled the better to manage a large property
that would eventually fall to him. The
letter contained some other fatherly sug
gestions relative to the guidance of son
Sidney, just as one would suppose an easy
old planter to write.
Young Mr. Smith secured boarding in
a respectable family; paid about as much
attention to Coke and Biackstone as is ge
nerally looked for in a rich young hair-
brained student; and commenced "cutting
the cenl" in prosperous fashion. In the
most natural way in the world he mention
ed, upon suitable occasions, the vast pos
sessions of the venerated .Mr. James Smith,
of Perry county, Ala., and passed among
his new acquaintances with all the ease of
"heir presumptive" to an Alabama fortune.
In December he left the place on a pre
tended visit to certain wealthy relations in
Nottoway, Virginia, and did not return
until February, 1841. In the mean time
a letter was received by one of his credit
ors from a pretended nne'e of young Mr.
Smith, staling that his return was prevent
ed by the illness of his servant.
Alter tus return irom this inunt, some
lime in the month of March, he received
the astounding and grievous intelligence of
the death of his father in the southwest.
He exhibited a letter containing this infor
ination with marks of most sincere grief;
tied crape around his hat; mourned as
dutiful son for the sad event that had thus
early in life burdened him with the care of
a fortune; and forthwith began to "surge
his credit" in the stores, tailor shops, Sic.
In the mean time he had formed an ac
quaintance with the family of Mr. Bran
nock, of Guilford county, and an intimacy
with his daughter, which, on her part, ri
pened into affection, and he aked her hand
in marriage. Mr. B. prudently inquired
into the character and circumstances of his
proposed son-in-law; the invest'gation turn
ed out satisfactory; and the marriage was
consummated in May, 1841 Mr. Smith
being anxious to have it over, and go with
his lady out to his bereaved mother.
During the summer he concluded to set
tle in Caswell, N- C, having the offer of
a valuable tract of land from Edward Ho
ling, and induced Mr. Brannock to assist
him with his name in procuring a loan of
money, until he could realize some of his
Alabama fortune The land trade contin
ued to he canvassed until Mr. B. began to
suspect that all was notright, asked an ex
planation of Smith, who confessed that
Boling had managed to swindle him out of
a large part of his money, without giving
him a title to the land Mr. B. finally had
Boling arrested at Caswell courthouse, and
ascertained to his astonishment and dismay
that he was the same man who had mar
ried his daughter under the name of Sid-
ney Smith.
The villain continued up to the time ol
his arrest to pass in Caswell as Edward
Boling, and in Guilford as Sidney T.
Smith. His last wife, the daughter of Mr.
B., at one lime becoming uneasy at the
protracted absence of Mr. Smith, went to
the house of the eider Mr. Boling, expect
ing to find tiiere her husband in company
with young Mr. Boling, of whom he was
purchasing land, lint young air, Doling
on seeing her carriage, was taken suddenly
ill, could see no one, and passed the night
in a room with hi true wife. no one but
himself suspecting the strange connexion
existing among the company then under
his father's roof.
A man in Richmond has
sharp that, he shaves with it.
Such are the prominent occurrences of
this strange affair. : We have no space for
more at this time; but if not done bv a
more competent hand, we shall attempt a
full and circumstantial detail, when we can
procure the numerous letters by which the
infamous deception was kept up. '
Boling is now beginning to reap the bit
ter reward of his deception and viilany.
He was sentenced to be branded with the
letter B on his left cheek, (which was car
ried into execution in presence of the
Court;) to be imprisoned three years; and
to receive thiriy-nine lashes at three sever
al limes before the expiration of his im
prisonment. His abode has been assigned
him in Guilford jail. .
We attempt to give below the substance
of the Judge's remarks to the prisoner, on
the occasion of pronouncing his sentence.
The faults in the language are all our own;
whatever of beauty, justness or stern
ness of sentiment there is. are his:
-There is scarcely any duty more painful
ever devolved upon an individual than that
which falls to the lot of a judicial officer in
apportioning the punishment which the
law awards to a convicted criminal. In
the present case and under the present cir
cumstances it becomes doubly so, on ac
count of your youth and the atrocity of the
crime of which you stand convicted. You
are yet a very young man in that period
of life when we naturally look for the more
ingenuous feelings and honorable senti
ments of our nature to prevail: yet the evi
dence against you, respecting the recent
nefarious transactions of your life, disclo
ses a tissue of deception unparallelled by
any case ever before known in the judicia
ry of North Carolina.
Every circumstance connected with your
life and with your recent offence is an ag
gravation of your crime. Your parentage,
not only highly respectable, but your father
a minister of the gospel, blameless in his
social relations and in his walk before the
world ; yourself moving in a circle far from
the lowest in society; with a wife who
looked to you with alt a woman's confi
dence for love and protection; and a tender
child whom it was your province to sustain
and cherish and fit for an honorable station
in society, you had the daring effrontery
to go but a short distance into a. neighbor
ing county, pass yourself in socieiy there
under another name, persevere in your de
ception until you ingratiated yourself into
the good graces of an unsuspecting family,
secure the affection of a young and innocent
girl, and consummate a second marriage !
It has been said by some writer that truth
is stranger than fiction, and the case before
me proves the correctness of the remark.
Romances and novels furnish relations
similar for marvellousness and atrocity;
but such realities 1 have never before met
within all the observations of my life.
Human viilany, in the various shades in
which it has been painted to our view, has
hardly furnished a parallel to this.
It is my solemn conviction that you are
not the only sinner that you are not the
only individual who has been engaged in
this work of crime and wretchedness. It
is difficult to believe that "one so young is
imbued with sufficient depravity of heart,
connected with the possession of that cal
culating viilany to enable him to design
and carry out a plot so complicated, and so
disastrous to the peace of two virtuous
and extensively connected families If
you have accomplices, it is my wish' and
prayer that they may yet be detected and
delivered over to that punishment which
outraged humanity and the avenging laws
demand.
How painful it is to contemplate the dis
grace
involved, and the peace of mind
destroyed bv your criminal conduct
You have inflicted wounds too deep for
the hand of time to cure ; caused misery
which nothing but the grave can cover up,
and eternity alone can obliterate. Think
of the parents who gave you being; your
father an exemplary man a religious min
ister. Kneeling night and morning at the
f mily altar in prayer and praise to your
common Maker, how often has he petition
ed heaven, with the yearning earnestness
of a father's heart, for blessings upon
your head. And when he hoped and ex
pected, as ho had a right to do, that you
would be a solace and a slay to his decli
ning years, and smooth witli the gentle
hand of duty a d affection his passage to
the tomb, your conduct pierces his bosom
with the most poignant grief, will embitter
the few remaining years of his existence,
and bring down his gray hairs with sorrow
to the gra.ve. Think of that mother who
nursed you upon her lap, who sustained
you at her breast, and watched over the
weakness and waywardness of your infancy
with an anxiety fell only in the maternal
breast. Call to mind the situation of her
who should be your bosom friend, the wife
of your youth, whose confidence vou have
so basely abused, and your child who
will inherit any thing but honor from its
father. Neither are these all the individ
uals who feel the ceaseless pangs entailed
by your crime. The more painful, be
cause not to be mitigated or repairei:, are
the outraged feelings of the family of Mr
Brannock. A blooming young rirl has
been sacrificed by your calculating viilany;
her hopes in life those hopes so delicately
yet so fondly cherished by a female cut
off forever; though still pure in mind, her
prospects are blighted irretrievably.
And this vast concoutse of people, drawn
together by the story of 5'our crime, who
have listened to the disclosures made uu
ring the invesiigation of your case, stand
aghast to think that their own families
their own daughters and sisters are liable
to be ruined in the same way.
Until the year 1829 the crime of which
you stand convicted was punished wit!
death, it was Tanked with arson, and
murder, and treason, and all these unnatu
ral and ferocious acts which are evidence
of a depravity of heart unfitting the indi
vidual to live in society I am J at a loss
to conceive the reasons that operated upon
the legislature to induce them to extend
the benefit of clergy to the crime of bigamy.
The .nan who bares his arm in the face of
heaven and stabs his neighbor to the heart,
forfeits his life to the offended laws.
Your crime entails upon society an amount
of misery as great, and I cannot see why
the punishment should be less. What are
the feelings of all the parties involved, and
above all, those of your fair victim, com
pared with the quiet of the grave ? Your
crime deserves the full punishment provi
ded by law, . and a proper regard lo the
safety of the community requires it. It
must therefore be severe and exemplary-
The Philosopher and the Rustic. An
thony Coliins, w ho was a Freethinker, one
day met a plain countryman going to
church.
" Where are you going !" said the Phi
losopher. "To church, Sir," answered the Rus
tic. "What to do there !"
"To worship God, Sir."
"Pray tell me, is God great or lit
tle !"
"He is both, sir."
"How can that be !"
"He is so grpat that the Heaven of Hea
vens cannot contain him, and he is so
little that he can dwell in my heart."
Collins afterwards declared that the sim
ple observation of the Countryman had
more effect upon his mind than all the
volumes he had perused, written by the
learned doctors.
Vegetable Serpent. No curiosity of
the vegetable world, that we ever saw,
equalled that shewn us a few days ago, at
the store of Messrs. Hogan & Lyon in this
City. It was a vegetable, tesembling the
gourd or Squash species, 5 feet 5 inches
long, and 6 3-4 ihclies in circumference, at
the iargest swell. It was green, except the
ten greyish horizontal stripes that run la
peringly from the head to the tail; and had
the exact appearance of a snake of that
size, even the contortions and lumps of the
body, with the curled and sharpened end.
We understand that it grew suspended from
a post, which accounts for its general
straightness; but that other vegetables on
the same vine, that rested on the ground,
assumed curling attitudes, with head erect,
as if 10 strike. It was raised in the gar
den of L. G. McMillan, Esq. of Elyton,
Jefferson county, and is said to resemble
in 11s interior, with perfect exactness, the
organization of a snake. Hundreds of per
sons have seen it, and all express their
wonder at this serpentine freak of nature

THE DOWER, BUT NOT THE
DAUGHTER.
Mr. Walsh writes from France that
Madame Bretot, a thriving blanchisseuse,
of the Rue de Bievre, had a fair daughter.
who like all her sex of the' same age,
which was tempting 18, was very fond of
balls and other gaieties. The good mo
ther was indulgent but prudent, and while
she permitted her lively damsel to attend
these scenes of amusement, always took
care to accompany her. At a Sunday s
dance, about a month ago, at the Quartre
Saisons, Mile. Eugenia met with a part
ner so genteel and gallant that he won the
hearts of both mother and daughter, and
the favored vouth was received into their
domestic circle as a suitor. The prelimi
naries were at length so far arranged for
a marriage between the lovers, that Mme.
Bretot drew 1,000 francs from the Sav
ings cans to purchase a suitable ouilit
for the young couple. Alas! for the un
certainty of human projects ! Two eve
nings ago, when the expecting bride and
her mother returned home, after a day
tpent on their knees not at church, but in
iheir washing-barge, near the Pont de
1'Archeveche they found that their dwel
ling had been broken open, their locks
forced, and not only the lOOOf., but every
other article of value, carried off. This
was indeed a dire disaster, but the severest
cut ot all was a sheet ol paper, conspicu
ously affixed to the chimney-glass, on
which was written, in too legible charac
ters 4,I might have taken both ' your
daughter and her dower, but I content
myself with one, and leave you the other."

TERS have been gratefully and publickly acknowl
edged by the persons benefitted, and who were pre
viously unacquainted witn tne leautituliy pnno-
sophical principles upon which they are compoun
ded, and upon which they consequently act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases of every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats of the
stomach and, bowels, the various impurities ard
crudities constantly settling around them; and to
remove the hardened fasces which collect in the
convolutions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitual
costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden di
arrhoea, with its imminent dangers. This fact is
well known to all regular anatomists, who exam
ine the human bowels after death: and hence the
prejudice of those well informed men against quack
medicines or medicines prepared and heralded to
the public by ignorant persons. The second effect
of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and
the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the
lungs, the healthful action of which entirely de
pends upjn the regularity of the urinary organs.
The bladder which takes its red color fiom the agen
cy of the liver and the lungs before it passes into
the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourish
ed by food coming from a clean stomach, courses
freely through the veins, renews every part of the
system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of
health in the blooming cheek.
Motfatt's Vegetable Life Medicines have been
thoroughly tested, and pronounced a sovereign rem
edy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of the
Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Headache,

tions and Bad Complexions, Lruptive complaints.
Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable complex
ions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common Colds and
Influenza, and various other complaints which af
flict the human frame. In Fever and Ague, par
ticularly, the Life Medicines have been most emi
nently successful ; so much so that in the Fever
and Ague districts, Physicians almost universally
prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffatt requires of his patients is to
be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
recording to the directions. It is not by a newspa
per notice, or by any thing that he himself may say
in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is a

IT was the intention of the undersigned
to issue a Prospectus some time previous
to the commencement of the present (the

rangements' becoming necessary, and which
could not be effected at an earlier day, this
Prospectus was unavoidably. delayed until
the present time. "VV". " - . f-
The undersigned lias now , the gratifica
tion of being able to assure the friends of
the paper, and of, the cause in which it is
engaged, that the Lincoln Republican is
now placed on a sure foundation; and that
nothing is wanting to ensure its long con
tinuation, but the exertions of its friends:
and he would take this occasion to call up
on them to bestir themselves in its behalf.
. He cannot deem it necessary to say more
than that the Lincoln Republican will con
tinue to pursue the course it has heretofore
marked out. Its doctrines are, and will
be, the doctrines of the Republican School
of '08 & '99 ; and it will, as heretofore,
endeavor to shew; that every departure
from them, in the administration of the
affairs of the Government, is subversive of
the rights of the States and of the liberties
of the people ; and therefore, it is orly by
a strict adherence to them, that those rights
and .those liberties can be preserved.
These are the opinions of the undersign
ed ; and so long, as the paper remains
under his control, such, shall be the doc
trines it will endeavor to inculcate. -
Though not personally interested, the
undersigned cannot refrain, from calling on
the opponents of a National Bank', a high
and ruinous Tariff, a Distribution of the
proceeds of the Public lands, an assump
tion of the State "Debts; by the General
Government, and of Abolitionism and all
its horrors on the friends of State Rights
Republicanism,, the uncompromising op
ponents of all the dangerous doctrines of
Federalism, to rally around and sustain the
Republican presses of the country. : For,
it is obvious, that to the supineuess of the
Democracy in this resirect, and to the vigi
lance of the Federalists, may be traced the
defeat of the Republican party at the late
elections; and in a change of. conduct and
in that only, may the Democracy hope for

species ot disease ly the use of MOFFAT'S LIFE
MEDICINES, is no longer a matter of doubt, as a
reference to the experience of many thousand pa
tients will satisfactorily prove. During the present
month alone, nearly one hundred cases have come
to the knowledge of Mr. Moffat, where the patient
has, to all appearance, effected a permanent cure
by the exclusive and judicious "use of the Life Medi
cines some eight or ten of these had been con
sidered beyond all hope by their medical attendants.
Such happy results are a source of great pleasure to
Mr. M. and inspire him with new confidence to
recommend the use of his medicines to his fellow
citizens. .
The LIFE MEDICINES are a purely VEG
ETABLE preparation. They are mild and pleas
ant in their ojeration, and at the same time thor
ough acting rapidly upon the secretions of the
system carrying off all acrimonious humors, and
assimilating with am! purifying the blood. For
this reason, in aggravated cases of Dyspepsia, the
Life Medicines will give relief in a shorter space of
time than any other prescription. In Fever-and-Aguc,
Inflammatory Rheumatism, Fevers of every
description, Sick Headache, Heart burn, Dizziness
in the Head, Pains in the CheFt, Flatulency, im
paired appetite, and in every disease aruing from
an impurity of the blood, or a disordered state of
the stomach, the use of these Medicines has always
proved to be beyond doubt greatly superior to any
other mode of treatment. . ' '
All that Mr. Moffat asks of his patients is to be
particular in taking them strictly according to the
directions. It is not by a newspaper notice, or by
any thing that he himself may say in their favor,
that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the re
sults of a fair trial. Is the reader an invalid, and
docs he wish to know whether the Life Medicines
will suit his own case? If so, let him call or send
to Mr. Moffat's agent in this place, and procure a
copy of the Medical Manual, designed as a Do
mestic Guide to Health, published gratuitously. He
will there find enumerated very many extraordina
ry cases of cure ; and perhaps some exactly similar
to his own. Moffat's Medical Office in New York,
