BRANDRETH'S PILliS.'
TTflrlK New York Son says : Brandreth's Pills
cL have been used among many of our friends,
and in our own family we have used' them nearly
four years when we required medicine; in that pe
riod, no Doctor save Dr. Brand re th has crossed our
threshold, and no medicine besides the Doctor's
Pilb used. Our belief is, "keep your bowels and
blood pure," and every kind of disease will be pre
vented or cured. The Brandrelh Pills are eminent
ly calculated to do this, andhereby much lessen
the sura of human misery.
The New York Evening Star sayss Brandreth's
Pills are a medicine which their own intense worth
will secure for them a large and ready sale, j They
have deservedly a high reputation; and ns a family
and anti-bilious remedy, it would be difficult to
equal them among all the Patent Medicines of the
present day. I ;

both pleasure and satisfaction in recommending to
all our readers, Brandreth's Vegetable Pills,; as the
most certain, most safe, and invaluatde medicine
extant. as anli-bittous ana aperient riHs. we
ere perfectly convinced they stand far above all oth
ers: as a certain cure in all cases of worms. Scurvy,
scorbutic humors, erysipelas, and all affections of
the skin, dropsy, asthma stone, gravel, piles, and
lumbago, they will be found invaluable." i

THE TEMPTATION OF
RACHEL MORRISON.
The following beautiful story from the
London New Monthly Magazine, conveys
an impressive warning to all young 'ladies,
to beware-of forming attachments with
men of plausible and insinuating .address.
j but of corrupt and infidel principles. Such
- attachments, if not arrested in their course,
often produce a shipwreck of the affections
i dn" ll consummated
in marrage, com
monly result in disappointment and woe.
It was a clear, sunny September morn-
mg bright and cheerful Autumn was steal
ing, not striding, over ihe landscape, and
Rachel Morrison looked out upon a joyous
picture, as she sat within the window of
her father's house. Her two younger sis
ters had spread a richly fringed carpet be
neath a verandah that was curtained by
clustering vines. The elder of them had
filled a basket with the rich clusters of the
purple grape, and held it up, a double temp
tation to little Miriam and a bounding beau
tiful greyhound, the pet and torment of the
family. Kate Morrison, the tempter, would
not, however suffer either of them to touch
a grape until she had first presented the
basket to Rachel ; indeed, her youthful
terlo'ed Rachel dearly and loved her the
more, for that the rose was fading from her
cheek, and her lips sedom smiled as was
their custom in former times. I have often
observed that th.e love of children increases
with the illness of a friend or companion
a beautiful illustration of the disinterested
nature of true love. ' There is a bunch,
Rachel a bunch fit for a queen ! The
doctor' said you might eat grapes."
" Thank you dear Kate. They are very
fine indeed ; but you should nut have tempt
ed Miriam and Nina with them". " Oh !"
replied Kate, laughing, " I love to tempt
them to tease them a little ; it does them
good." No, I do not think so," said
Rachel. I am not fond of quoting from
the Holy Scriptures on trivial occasions,
but vou must remember we piay not to be
led into temptation ; and Kate, looking on
the temptation with which you tempted
your little sister, and the pretty hound,
made me think" "What, sister?"
"Upon mine own!"" "Your's Rachel!
I did not tempt you with grapes!"
" Grapes ! " repeated Rachel Morrison,
smiling, though there was a sadnesss in
the smile. " No, not with grapes ; yet I
have had my temptation." " What was
it, sister?" "I will tell
you when you

" To ride the kicking poney ?" Indeed,
mv Kate, you need not attempt to find out.
Listen to me ; if it pleases God that I live
until you have completed your seventeenth
year, I M ill relate to you my "temptation."
If listen to me Katharine I am taken
Irom you into the .world of spirits- before
you attain the beauty, and incur the dan-
gers of womanhood, I will leave a writ-
ten testimony that may warn you how to
avoid the sorrows which have planted and
watered the willows that are already grow-
ing over, my'early grave.
Kate did not quite understand what her
sister meant, but she saw that her eves
were filled with tears, and so she crept The time appointed for our union, and
silently to her side, and looked up into her the care, attention, and tenderness of my
face, and felt her heart sad within her. A affianced husband, made me almost forget

usu.illy crld spring sent (the Physician amid the congratulatipns and preparations,

deemer liveth." There was much mourning
in the bereaved dwelling. Kate was able
to feel and to tell how truly she missed
The glancing of her sisiet s's eye, '
The waving of her hair,
The footsteps lightly gliding by,
The hand so small and fair.
But little Miriam soon forgot her troubles
in the excitement of black frocks and a
crape bonnet.
Years pass, as well as months; and when
we review them, we think they pass as
quickly. The retrospect of both is nearly
the same ; but the prospect, how diflerent!
Katharine Morris had completed her 17th I had escaped froni 1 the tumult of com pa
year, and was already arrived at the dan- ny to commune with my own heart, aud
gerous distinction of being a belle and a He, to whom all hearts are open, knows

ber that her sister, whose once beautiful Suddenly the church bell sounded in my
form was now part and parcel of the earth ear, and I arose to attend its blessed sum
wherein it lay, left a ' written testimony" mons. I was pushing back the silver stars
of her trials; that she had laid open her of a clustering jessamine that curtained the
heart's feelings, hopes and disappointments, arbor's entrance, when I saw the object of

she had torn afresh wounds which time alone, but an intimate friend was with him,
had comparatively healed and had again and I shrank beneath the shade. As they
counted the drops distilled from her lace- p.pproached they laughed, and talked to
rated heart. "'My blessed child !" said gether, and so loudly that I heard what one
her mother, "have you forgotten poor Ra
chel's legacy! how she bequeathed the
knowledge of her "temptation," that your
fate might not be as her's." She hid a
few leaves of paper upon her table, fairljtTh is sentence attracted my attention, though
and plainly written' ; and Kate retrimmed
her lamp, and flung the garland from her
brow, that she might read the story of her
sister. i
" A woman's, Kale! a young unmar
ried womans's trials, are generally of the
affections trials of temper trials of judg
ment trials of power, come afterwards ;
but a young girls's trials are of the heart.
I hope you will not understand what it is
to love ; unless indeed, you love what is
lovely, love not only for time but for
eternity. ine impression made on a
young heart may be considered light; and
yet, Katharine, it is Ions; h, how long !
before it wears out: I found it so. You
know the pains my dear mother ever took
to impress npon us our religious duties, (o
teach us Christ all-in-all sufficient ; and to
manifest our faith by our works. I fear
that I trusted too much in my own strength
that I thought too much of my own ac
quirements. The pains bestowed on my
education, made rae superior ti my com
panions, but not, alas ! superior to myself.
The remembrance of your sister- of the
once living reality of her jlio pens these
lines, will, before you read them, have fad
ded to an outlined vision. You will remem-
sis-jber a thin, pale girl, who loved flowers and
music, and; for whom you gathered the
fittest grapefe ; and the thought of her will
bring back her last kiss, her white brow
her dead hand, the inever to be forgotten
touch of death! the tears, a mother's pre
cious tears! then the funeral. Ay, my be
loved sister, all will be as a vision but
we may learn wisdom from such.
I did not think too highly of my acquire
ments, and practised them more for the
sake ol di.pla', than a desire to give plea
sure. They attracted the attention of one
who, possessed of much beauty, much tal
ent, and some indeed many amiable
qualities was, nevertheless, deficient in
the great requisites for domestic much
less christian happiness. For a time, we
were as two gay butterflies, sporting. ia
the sunshine ; I learnt to see with his eyes
to hear with his ears, to feel, to live but
in his presence; and yet I hardly knew it
was nut that strange? One of the mys
teries of love : perpetually denying his in
fluence with my lips, lying to my own
heart, practising self-deception; but how
ever, 1 might have succeeded in deceiving
myself, I did nut, could nor, deceive him.
He knew his power, and while he loved

he believed well; yet, endeavored to laugh
at .-amiable weakness," "earlv preju-
(jces,' and want of wordly knowledge."
Such he termed, in honied words, woman's

hope, her shield and buckler. At first I
was alarmed, but lie! never then wounded
my feelings. Dav, bv day, secure of my

tu suppose that he was guilty of infidelity,
waiited the courage; and in truth, the
christian knowledge? fo combat his aser-
tions, and for a long time, I sheltered my-
self under the hope, Almost 'the belief, that
he did but jest. And awful as it was,
still it was a comfort, a coward's comfort,
truly, that has no truth lor its foundation,
My'dear mother, too, trembled while she
prayed for my happiness; but my father
thought of the splendor of the alliance, and
rejoiced therein.
with so much seeming pleasure that we
should do so, that I hailed n as a happy
omen: and on that memorable Sabbath
morning entered a bower whose roses and
jessamine had been twined by his hand;
which made them doubly dear to me. It
was a bright, and balmy day the sprays
were bending beneath the dew drops, and
the air was heavy with perfume ; every
thing was hushed and silent even the song
of the bird was tempered in its sweetness ;
and I praved -oh! how fervently prayed
that I might that we might together find
the way, the truth, and the life.
- j of them would have given worlds I never
had heard.
The sacrament wilt take up so much
time, that I cannot meet yon as 1 intend.'
when indeed did he speak that I was ttot at
tentive ? Oh, how I shuddered at what fol
lowed! Then why do you go ? Why
submit to what you despise f f would not
do it for any woman on earth ?' I would
do more than that for Rachel; but when."
once away from this, she will get rid of all
her early prejudices, and become, one of
the world : her mind is comprehensive, arid
her love for rae will tend to teach her the
superiority of rational over formal religion
To have a preaching wile to be obliged
to go to church ising psalms on Sundav ;
and take the sacrament once a month a
pretty prospect of domestic felicity''.'
Pshaw you do not suppose my present
life is a type of that which is to come? No
no ; I do not intend to be canonized under
the domination of Saint Alfred, but it pleas
es her, and believe me she is not half so
bad as she was. I remember when she
would not read a newspaper on Sunday I
Is it possible !' Fact upon my honor. -Now
she is getting better ; I must tolerate
the mummery till we are married; and then-
Kate, Kate, I heard no more. A tor
rent of bitterness overwhelmed me The
blessed saframent to be termed mummery,
the roan for whom I prayed, to exult that
my reibn was declining to 'plan its
destruction ! 1 do not ask you to pity roe
now, because my transgressions have been
pardoned my race run my sorrows teas
ed their troubling my spirit ' found ita
rest ! but then, or rather when restored fo
perfect consciousness you would have pit
ied me."
For weeks I could not leave my bed,
the delirium of brain fever for a time spar
ed me worse agonies, but the temptation
was with me still. I knew that Alfred's

In the House of Representative of this
State, the Committee on Agriculture, re
commended the purchase of fifteen hundred
copies of Robert's Silk Manual, for distri

find his labor thus appreciated by our Legis

been at so much pains to collect, about to
be so extensively diffused.
