SOOTHING SYIIUP
For children Tee thing,
PREPARED BY HIMSELF.
To .Mothers and JVurses.
THE passage of ilie Teeth through the
gums produces troublesome and dan
gerous symptoms. It is known by moth
ers that there is gre.it irritation in the
mouth and gums during this process. The
gums swell, the secretion of saliv.j is in
creased, the child is seized with frequent
and sudden fits of crying, watching, sterl
ing in 1 1 e sleep, mid sp sms of peculiar
part?, the child shrieks with extreme vio
lence, and thrusts its finders into its mouth
1 f these precursory symptoms are not spee
dily alleviated, spasmodic convulsions uni
versally supervene, and soon cause the
dissolution of the infant. If mothers who
have their little babes afflicted uith these
distressing symptoms, would apply I)r
William Evans's Celebrated Soothing
Svmp, which has preserved hundreds of
infants when thought past recovery, from
being suddenly attacked with that fatal
malady, convulsions.
This infallible remedy has preserved
hundreds of Children, when thought past
recovery, from convulsions. As soon as
llie Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child
will recover. This preparation is so in
nocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant, that
no child will refuse to let its gums be
rubbed with it. When infants are at the
age of four months, though there is no ap
pearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to
open the pores. Parents should never be
without the Syrup in the nursery where
there are young children; for if a child
wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediaiely gives ease by open
ing the pores and healing the gums; theie
by preventing Convulsions, Fevers. See.
To the Agent of Dr. Evans' Soothing
Syrup: Dear Sir The great benefit
afforded to my suffering infant by your
Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted
and painful dentition, must convince every
feeling; parent how essential an early np
plication of such an invaluable medicine
is t IcIicVC i"f?.ol misery and torture. Mv
infant, while teething, experienced such
acute sufferings, that it was attacked with
convulsions, and my wife and fr.i.5y sup
posed that death would soon release the
babe from anguish till we procured a bot
tle of your Syrup; which as soon as ap
I plied to the gums a wonderful change was
produced, and after a few applications the
child displayed obvious relief, and by con
turning in its use. I am glad to inform
you, the child has completely recovered,
and no recurrence of that awful complaint
has since occurred; the teeth are emana
ting daily and the child enjoys perfect
health. J giveyoti my cheerful permission
to make this acknowledgment public, and
dl gladly give any information on this
circumstance.
When children begin to be in pain with
Jl'eir teeth, shooting in their gums, put a
I'tt'e of die Syrup in a lea-spoon, and
wuh the finger let the child's gums be
fubbed for two or three minutes, three
jimes a day. h must not be put to the
breast immediately, for the milk would
take the syrup off loo soon. When the
teeth are just coming through their gums,
mothers should immediately apply the sy
P; it will prevent the children having
fver, and undergoing that painful opera
uo f lancing the corns, which alvtavs
J'pes the tooth mud) harder to rowie
lro,,gh, anrJ sotnetiuiHs causes death.
Beware oi'Coiuitca'ftits.

JPississippi Legislature. On the 27th
ult. the Mississippi House of Representa

of resolutions, declaring thai the State of
Mississippi is bound to redeem her bonds;
that she will redeem them, and preserve
her faith inviolate; and that all insinuations
to the contiary are a calumny upon her
justice, honor, and dignity.
On the 30th, the resolutions instructing

Amciican Heard of Foreign Missions, and
the American Education Society, an es
tate equally, worth probably forty or fifty
thousand dollars; to the American liihle
Society two thousand dollars, and to the

sand dollars to the Theological Seminary
at Andover, making more than two hun
dred thousand dollars as the total amount
of his donation to that institution. The es

Mr. Editor: In the month of June,
1S3S, 1 very valuable negro man belong
ing to M;'j. William Eddings, of Abbeville
District, run away from him without the
slighest provocation, and went to Halifax
county, N. C. from whence he came but a
few years previous; afier an absence of two
years and seven months, he has voluntari
ly returned to his master. What will the
Abolitionists say to ibis? Or when w
they cease to denounce slavery as a moral
evil? Here is a negro ot uncommon in
telligence, who, in all probability, might
have escaped forever; but no, lie prefers
the servitude ot a humane master, to the
liberty proffered by the hypocritical friends
of universal lieetlum.
Shortly after this negro absented him
self from home, his owner offered a larg-
reward for his apprehension, which was
copied into a vile Aholition print, publish
ed in the State of Ohio, with the following
remarks addressed to the owner: "You
have not got your negro, and 1 hope to God
you never will." How will the learned
philanthropist of this expression leel, when
he is inlormr.d that tho negro has returned
to his master, without cither compulsion
or persuasion, ana tie says ne uui oniy
willing, bui anxious io continue a slave all
his life. Greenville S. C. Mountaineer.
Texas, Mexico and Great Britain.
Fhe London Morning Chronicle of a late
date contains sone information which ha
net vet anneared in this country, in relation
to the treatr recently made between Mex
ico and Great Britain, and the more recent
acknowledgment by the latter power, of
the independence ol the republic ol lexas.
Lord Palmerfton is repoitcd to have said
that the Texian Government agreed to
take upon itself 1 ,000,000 of the Mexican
debt. It is added, that a uepuiauun mat
waited upon the Minister upon thesubjtel,
expressed a wish that provision should be
made for giving the bondholders the op
tion cf rc ceiving part of the debt thus recog
nized by Texas in Isnd, with r'ttv9 lo
colonization. Lcrd Palrrerston, requesstd
the deputation to put their vhi writitvgf.
From the 21 me source we learn, that it is
expressly stipulated in t!ie Mesicaa con
verMon that 100,000,000 of sere of lb
vacant lands in the departments ftf Clifor
nia, Chihuahun, New Mt rico. .)nra
and Texas, shall be specially bypheca
ted in the payment of the principal and
interests of the national consolidated Fumlj
until the total extinction of the bonds; and,
by the decree of the Mex'can Congress
confirming the terms, it is declared, 25,
000,000 acres of government lands in the
department having the nearest communU
cation with the Atlantic, shall .-pecially be
set apart for security to the bondholders,
and for the purposes of colonization.
On the same occasion, a communication
was read fiom the London Financial A
gency of Mexico, stating thai the plan
proposed for Use consolidation of the over
due coupons had been under the consider
ation of Congress. The whole of the Cus
tom Warrants sent out, equal to 1,400,
000 would be paid off by the end of the
present year, leaving the 106th part of the
Custom Revenues available for the pay
ments of the dividends. The Mexican
Converted debt is about 8,S0G.4l5, one
half of which is an Active Five per cent
Stock, making the dividend presently pay
able equal to 15,000 per annum.

Quick way to get Rich. Miss In
griam, of Pontiac, somelime since was
perusing a Texas paper and bserving a
mongthe persons that bore a prominent
part in the affairs of that government, a
man bearing her own name, and jocosely
remarked to her companions, that she bad
made an important discovery that she
had found a namesake in Texas, and in
tended to write to him and chim relation
ship. This resolution, moie from curiosi
ty and a desire of novelty than from any
conviction that her hopes would be realiz
ed, was carried into effect. She wrote
him a respectful letter, giving him a histo
ry of her family and parentage, and sug
gested that as the name was not as common
as most of the names of our country, the
probability was strong that a rehtionship
existed between them. She received in
reply, a friendly and affectionate letter ac
knowledging her as a cousin, and expres
sing an carnet desire that the conespon
dence might be continued. This was
readily acceded to, and it was car.ied on
agreeably and satisfactorily to both parties,
until very recently, when she received
intelligence of his death, and information
that in his will he had bequeathed her the
handsome sum twenty thousand dollars
in gold and silver, leaving his personal
property anil immense landed estate to his
relatives in that country. A few days
previous to the reception of this joyful
communicaiion, she had connected her
fortunes w ith those of a Methodist Clergy
man, and should their deeds of charity
comport with their means, the widow's
heart will be filled with jo , and infiny an
orphan live to implore blessing upon the
heads of their benefactors, for their deeds
of benevolence and generosity.
