Wilmington, April 4th, 1845. 29-3m HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. tT may truly he said, that no one has ever been so successful in compounding a medicine, wi.ieh has done so much to reliec the human family, to rob disease of its terrors, and restore the Invalid to Health and comfort, as the Inventor and Proprietor of that most deservedly popular family medicine, Dr. Swaync's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, and none has been so generally patronis d lv the Profession and others, both in this cuunttv and in Europe, nor has there ever !een so great an eflort in the short space of six or seven years, lo deceive the credulous and unthinking. !y putting up Nostrums of various kinds, by various individu als, affixing the name of Wild Cherry, and as much of the nam.' of the- original preparation as will screen them from the lash of the law, and one of the impostors who puts out the common pare goric of the shops fnd calls it the Balsam of Wild Ch rrv, has had the impudence to caution the pub I c against the original preparation, Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, which is doing s i much gO'-d in the world. Beware cf such impost nrsjggEk And purchase none but the original and only gen uine article as prepaied by Dr. Swayne, which is the only on compounded by a regular Physician, and arose from many years' close attention to the practice of the profession, and which led to this groat disc .very. Thousands and tens of thousands of the best testimonials of the unparalleled success of Dr.Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cher ry for the cure of coxsi'mftion, cou;hs. colds, spitting blood, liver complaint, tickling or rising in the throat, nervous debility, weakness of voice, palpitation or disease of the heart, pain in the side or breast, broken constitution from various causes, the abuse of calomel. &c. bronchitis, asthma, whoo ping cough, &c, were declared to the world years before any other preparation of Wild Cherry came out. The most skeptical may satisfy themselves a to the truth of the above, by a little enquiry in Philadelphia. The genuine article is prepared on ly by Dr. Swayne, whose office has he. n removed to N. W. corner of Sth and Race streets, Philad'a. The Balsam and other spurious articles of Wild Cherry has been sold out, and the pr prietors are obliged to resort to falsehood and stratagem to make their own out of it. The genuine article is put up in plain style in square buttles covered with a blue wrapper, with a yellow label with the proprietor's signature attached. To get the genuine in Wil mington, you must go to the onlv appointed a gent, WM. SHAW.

The citizens of Dead Cow Brook hild a meetin here, 'bout three mil nee ago, tu consider the state of the Union, and the dangers that hung over it, and appinted a committee of eleven, tu write a letter tu I and Capting Potter, invitin on us tu come here by express mail; I tu take command of my old regiment, and the Capting tu oive good advice. The same day we got the letter we packed up, not stoppin tu have our dirty shirts washed, and when we got tu New Orleans, Capt. Sy Smith, of the skuner Swiftfoot, advised us tu go with him, round tu Boston, on his vessel. He said the express mail had got into sich a habit of never failing tu fail, that we might as likely as not be three munee on the way; but he could take us round in forty days, and would'nt charge us but half price, seein that he had the Capling's melasses abord; so we set sail from New Orleans, jest sixty days ago, day afore yesterday, and got into Boston yesterday inorniu! We was'nt in no danger of be in shipracked nor nothing of that sort, but we got out cf provisions, and had'nt nothio tu 'stain life for the last six days but the caigo, which was sweet petaters and me lasses! The petaters was good 'nuff, but i he melasses hail jest oot cleverly tu ivork in, when we begin tu eat it, and as soon as e got it down our stomachs, it worked vvuss then ever, and both on us is fallen away a good deal. Sy Smith made us pay sixty dollars apiece, passage money, yisterday, arter we got into port! Why,' says I, didn't you promise tu take us for half price?' 'Yes,' said he, 'but my full price is a hundred and twenty dollars a piece, so fork over tiie rino, old lellers ; it you don't I'll jest take you up afore a Jus tice!" We p iid him, but it was cussed hard, I can tell you. I never had my fee- ins hurt so bad in my life. We found the patriotic citizens of Dead Cow Brook in dredful commotion. Simon Spalding has got one hundred and twenty one sogers in artillery company, all on 'era trained fust rate.

Then they must be careful to churn before the cream stands too long, for if the cream contracts any bad taste, it will continue in the butter. Be careful to work out all the buttermilk, and work the salt well in. Use none but the best dairy salt, and use it free ly ; there is more danger of making the butler too fresh than too salt. If parked in the firkin at the dairy, as it always should be, an inch or two of clear strong brine should be put over each layer until it is fill ed.

John, Beside the old brook stream Where we were school boys in old time, When manhood was a dream ; The brooa is choked with fallen leaves The pond is dried away. I scarce believe that you would know The dear old place to-uay. The school-house is no more, John, Beneath our locust trees. The wild rose by the window side No more waves in the breeze ; The scattered stones look desolate, The sod they tested on Has been plowed u by stranger hands Since you and I were gone. The chesnut tree is dead. John, And what is sadder now The broken grapevine of our swing Hangs on the withered bough ; I read our names upon the bark, And found the pebbles rare Laid up beneath the hollow side, As we had piled them there. Beneath the gras-grown bank, John, I looked for our old spring That bubbled down the alder path, Three paces from the swing ; The rushes grow upon the brink, The pool is black and bare. And not a foot, this many a day, II seems, has trodden there. I took the old blind road, John, That wandered up the hill, 'Tis darkei than it used to be. And seems so lone and still ; The birds sing yet upon the boughs Where once the sweet grapes hung, But not a voice of human kind, Where all our voices rung. I sac me on the fence, John, That lies as in old time, The same half panel in the path, We used so oft to climb. And thought how o'er the bars of life, Our playmates had past on, And left me counting on this spot The faces that are gone. yet how much is called for by the grave by the lowliest hillock that is piled over the icy bosom, by the grassiest hollow that has sunk with the mouldering bones of a fellow creature !

But observe that the firkin must be thoroughly seasoned, and soaked in brine before the butter is put in, and that more butter is spoiled in the cream than any other way. In warm v. eather cream will become tainted before a person is aware. Thus much fi r dairy butter. Store butter may be very much improved if the merchant will take more care. He should have at least three tubs of strong pure brine, into which he should put his butter as he takes it in, washed o- ver carefully, re-salted and packed in fir kins in all respects in the same manner. By all means sort your butter, as it comes in, as you will then be enabled to have it of uniform quality in the firkin, a very desi rable object in market. If any one should send butter, 1 hope they will conform to the foregoing suggestions, and if it does not come into market in good condition, it will be ihe first time I have known them fail. Ohio Cultivator. Lig'itning and Manure. It has been discovered in England that electricity, real lightning, conducted by wires to the earth, greatly promotes vegetation, and hence many persons are enriching their grounds by this new stimulant. We hope good will come of it. This generation is cer tain'y fulfilling its destiny. It is becoming the "utilitarian age" with a vengeance, which brings down from the clouds the lightning of hea nure the cornfield il read ful lightnings for the stable manure. The guano trade will be bioken up entire ly, and a tempestuous season, with vivid lightning, will be worth forty muck heaps and stable yards. Anil yet it is probably true, ih :t lightning can be made to promote vegetation; that it can be conducted to the required spot, and made subservient to the desired object and if so. man has another cause of gratitude to the Giver; for he may now lay his hand upoa the mane of the lightning, and render it not merely innox ious, but directly and visibly useful. Let him, in the use of the element, not forget Him, " Whose hand the lisrhtning forms. Who heaves old ocean and who wings ihe storms. " HARDY CARROLL. We learn that at the late term of Franklin Superior Court for Franklin county, Har dy Carroll was sentenced to execution, under the decision of the Supreme Court; and that he will pay the forfeit for his crimes on the second day of next month: His appearance, when brought into the Court-house to receive his sentence, is said to have been pitiable in the extreme. Hav ing escaped from Lonisburg jail twice, it was found indispensable to chain him down to the floor by the legs and arms, and in consequence his hair and beard had grown to an enormous length, and he had wasted away almost to a skeleton. Hardy is a tree man of color, and his life and death will be a warning to many of his class. For years he had committed crimes, and laughed at the law, for neither walls nor bolts could withstand him. But his ca reer is doubtless now over. Chained down as he now is, there is no chance for his escape. At one lime in Lonisburg Jail, whilst chained by the foot, he contrived to get hold of a piece of plate, and with this he severed his manacles, by a slow and te dious process of filing. He then took off all his clothes, and with some meat, which had been brought him for his dinner, greas ed himself from head to foot; and when the Jailer came in as usual, he slipped through his hands like an eel, made out of the prison, and plunged into Tar River, which runs but a few rods from the soot. He was hunted down, however, and bro't back. Ral. Standard. THE GRAVE. How little reflection is expended upon, U. S. Phil.) Gazette. Thinnim Plants. The thinning of; seedling crops is a very necessary thing to be done in time, before the young plants have drawn one another up too much, by which they become weak, and out of form, and sometimes never do well afterward. All plants grow stronger, and ripen their juices better, when the air circulates freely around them, and the sun is not prevented from an immediate influence; an attention to which should be paid from the first ap pearance of plants breaking the ground, ln thinning close crops as onions, carrots, turnips, etc., be sure that they aie not left too near, for instead of reaping a greater produce, they would assujedly be less. When they stand too close, they will make tall and large tops, but be prevented su el ling in their roots; better to err on the wide side, for though there are few plants, they will be much finer ones. Making Jelly. Those who would make fine iellv. should always avoid boiling the juice of the fruit, when it desirable to have the article, when made, retain ine na vor of the fruit from which it was prepa red. After the juice is pressed from the fruit, and the proper quantity ol sugar ad growth, and ti e molewarp undermine in an hour's labor, is crushed the spirit that could enthral a world, and dare even a contest with destiny t How little il speaks for the value of the existence which man endures so many evils to prolong ; how much it redtices the significance of both the pomp ami wretchedness of being, reducing all its vicissitudes into the indistinguishable iden tity which infinite distance gives to the stars a point without a parallax, a speck. an atom! Such is life the gasp of a child that inspires the air of existence but once a single breath breathed from eternity. But the destiny that comes behind us o blivion ? It is not enough that we moral ise upon the equality of the sepulchre; that the rich man, whose soul is in the ostenta tion of a marble palace, and his heart in the splendor of the feast should consider 'how small a pit must content him, or that eminence above the beasts," should know that the shaggy carcass and the lawn-shrouded corse must fatten the earth together. Wo should teach our vanity the lesson of hu miliation that is offered by the grave; neg lecting the mighty mausoleuinns of those marvellous spirits which fame has render ed immortal, we should (urn to the name less tombs of the million, and in their de serted obscurity, discover the feeble hold which we ourselves must have upon earth and the memory of men. Friendship for gets what the devouring earth has claimed; and even enmity ceases at last to remem ber the resting place of a foe. Love our selves as we may. devote our affections to others as we can, yet must our memory perish with us in ihe grave.
