fSortrq. FAREWELL. Farewell, farewell, the struggle’s past. We are forever parted. And thou art now another’s bride, And 1 am broken-hearted ! I never told thee how I loved, By w6rd, or look, or tokenâ€" I lievefkhow it till the doom Thiif parted us was spoken. 1 did not tell the that my love Was fonder than a brother’s, And only knew it, felt it, when I saw thou wast another’s. Bright angels sometimes visit us On earth, and yet we never Know they are angels, till we feel That they are gone forever. J^rewell, farewell, dream pleasantly Of each untried to-morrow, Recall the past with all its joys, And leave to me its sorrow. I would not that thy gentle heart Should feel what mine is feeling ; A rush of sad remembrances Across it darkly stealing. The anguish and the agony Of hopes forever banished ; Tho darkness a bright vision leaves Behind when it is vanished. Oh! no, forget me if thou canst, Thy gentle heart will only B* saddened when thou thinks’t of one So desolate and lonely. And think not I am murmuring. Think not I would reprove thee ; Mv heart is only telling: ho// l)evotedly I loved thee. The flower that lifts its gentle form When balmy winds are sighing, Though crushed beneath the foot, will give Its fragrance out in dying. Farewell, farewell, the struggle’s past We are forever parted, And thou art now another’s bride, And i am broken-hearted. Jlnn&oni 3tvcnItiiig0. A lunatic once informed ins physician, who was classifying cases of insanity, that he had lost his wits by watching a politi- cian, whose course was so crooked that it turned his brain. Excuse My Back.â€"A censorious and conceited lady, vaunting her good figure, boasted to another that herself and her sister had always been remarkable for the beauty of their backs. ‘ That is the reason, I suppose, that your friends are all ways so glad to see them.’ was the naif reply. A Dutch woman desired to advertise her poney, which had 1 lost hissell, mit a tail frisky ver mooch, and strike very bard mit his hind fits !’ * What do you propose to take for your cold?’ said a lady to a sneezing gentle- man. * Oh, I’ll sell very cheap ; I won’t higgle about the price at all.’ There was recently a concert on the skirts of Newcastle, and the audience comprised some amateurs from a mine. In the course of the evening the Paganini of the orchestra stepped forward to play J a solo on the violin.’ Ilis ambitious se- lection was the famous ‘ Carnival,’ through which he struggled with exemplary cour- age, and at the end he dropped his bow and fiddle by his side, right and left, and made obeisance, expecting a burst of ap- plause ; instead of which his ears were as- tounded by an exclamation from the back seats: ‘ Aw say, fiddler, are ye gaun to be all ncet tunin’ that fiddle 0’ yourn, or are ) e gaun to give us a tune V English, Iuisii, and Scotch.â€" When a celebrated Scotch nobleman was ambassador to the court of France, King Louis was always very anxious to learn from him,’ the character of his nation, tria junta in uno. 1 Well, my lord, cried the king, how would an Englishman be found after a hard fought field V ‘ O, bleeping away the fatigues of the day,’ re- plied the ambassador.’ ‘ Very prudently, rejoined his Majestyâ€"1 arid the Irish ? ‘O, he’d be drinking away the fatigues oi the day.’ ‘ Good ! good !’ laughed out royal Louis. ‘ And now, though not the least in glory’s annals, your own country- menâ€" the bonny Scott]’ ‘Why, your Majesty, I ken Sandy’s humour--he’d be just darning his hose, perhaps, and thiul - ing of the siller he could save.’ B& COURTEOUS; OR THE RAILROAD CONDUCTOR CAUGHT. PSALM OF LIFE. LONGFELLOW IA1PR0VED. Tell me not, times out of number, That this life is but a dream, Would it were for then would slumber, All those notes I must redoem. Life is real, and in earnest, So too often proves the gaol ; Gold dust mizzles, but returneth Sjldom, fact upon my soul. Not enjoyment, lots of sorrow Plague us sorely on our way ; In these hard times each to-morrow Seems still worser than to-day. Art prolongs the time still fleeting. When wo must the uproar brave And amidst a special meeting, Hand our credit to the grave. Gch ! ’tis just a wcesame battle. Scrambling, climbing on through life ; Kick’d and cuff'd like driven cattle, Sure I’m woarv of the stifo. Then the future, Oh ! how pleasant, Last V gone, and credit dead ; Bad enough’s the living present, Worse a prison overhead. Lfves of some rnen may remind us. That with chise lings sublime. We, like them, might leave behind us Tool marks on the bust of time.

Ilatig it, 110 ! we’ll still keep honest Heart, and leave the rest to fate. ‘ Halloa, Limpy, the cars will start in a minute, hurry up, or we shall leave you behind.’ The cars were waiting at a sta- ion of one of_our Western Rail- roads. The engine was puffing and blowing. The baggage master was busy with baggage and checks. The men were hurrying to and fro with chcsts and valises, packages and trunks. Men, women, and chil- dren were rushing to the cars and hastily securing their seats, while the locomotive snortud, pufled ind bio wed* A man carelessly dressed was standing on the platform of the de- pot. He was looking around him, and seemed to pay little attention to what was passing around him. It was easy to see that he was lame. At a hasty glance one might have hastily supposed that he was a man of neither wealth or influence. The conductor of the train gave him a contemptuous look, and familiarly slapped him 011 the shoulder, called outâ€" ‘ Halloa, Limpy, better get aboard, or the cars will leave 3*011.’ ‘ Time enough. I reckon,’ replied the ind.vidual so roughly dressed, and he retained his seeminglv list- less position. T. lie last trunk was tumbled into the baggage car. ^ All aboard, cricd tho conductor. Get on Limpy,’ said he as he pass- ed the lame and carclcsslv dressed man. The lame man made no reply. Just as the train was slowlv mov- ing away, the lame man stepped on the platform of the last car and walking in quietly sat down. Ihe train had moved on a few miles when the conductor appeared at the dqpr of the car where our friend was sitting. Passing along he soon discovered the stranger whom he had seen at the station. ‘ Hand out your money here. ‘I don’t pay’, replied the lame man quietly. ‘ Don’t pay V * No, sir.’ ‘ We’ll see about that. J shall put you out at the next station,’ and he seized the valise which was hung over the head of our friend. Better not be so rough, young man,’ returned the stranger. The conductor released the car- pet bag for a moment, and seeing he could do no more then, he passed on to collect the fares of the other pas- sengers. As he stopped at a seat a few paces o 11, a gentleman who had heard the conversation just mention- ed, looked up at the conductor and asked himâ€" ‘ Do you know to whom vou were speaking just now V ‘ No sir.’ ‘ That was Peter Warburton, the President of the road.’ ‘Are you sure of that sir,’ replied the conductor, trying to conceal his agitation. 41 know him.’ The color rose a little in the young man, but with a strong effort he controlled himself and went on collecting his fare as usual. Meanwhile Mr. Warburton sat quietly m his seatâ€"none of these who were near him could unravel the expression of his face nor tell what would be the next movement in the scene. And heâ€"of what thought he 1 He had been rudely treated ; he had been unkindly taunted with the infirmity which had come through no fault of his. He could revenge himself if he choose, He could tell the directors the sim- ple truth, and the young man de- piived of his place at once. Should lie do it! And yet, why should he care ? lie knew what he was worth. He kne v how he had risen by his own exertions to the position he now held.â€"When a little oia.gc pedlar he stood by the street crossings, he had many a rebufi. He had outliv- ed those da\ s of hardship j he was 1 cspected now. Should ho care for strangers’ roughness or, taunts? Those who sat near him wanted curiously to see the end.- Presently the conductor came back. With a steady energy he walked up to Mr. Warburton’s seat. He took his books from his pocket, the bank bills, the tickets which he had collected, and laid them in Mr, Warburton's hand. 11 resign my place, sir, said the conductor. Ihe 1 resident looked over the ac- counts for a moment, then motion- ing to the vacant seat at his side, saidâ€" ‘Sit down, sir, J should like to talk with you. As the young man sat down, the resident turned to him his face in which there was no angry feeling and spoke to him in an undertone* My 3'oung friend, I have no re- vengeful feelings against you, but \ ou have been' very imprudent in this matter. Your manner,, had it been thus to a stranger, would have been very injurious to the interest of the company. I might tell them of this, but I will not.. By doing so f should throw you out of your situa- tion, and you might find" it difficult to find another. But in futare re- member, be civil to all whom yeti' meet. You cannot judge of a man by the coat he wears ; anJ even the poorest should be treated with civili- ty. Take up your books, sir, I shall tell no one of what has passed. If you change your course nothing which has happened to-day which shall be injurious to you, Your sit- uation is still continued, good morn- ing sir.’ The train of cars swept on as many a train had done before ; but with it a lesson had been given and learned, and the purport of tiie les- son ran somewhat thusâ€"4 Don’t judge from appearances. A HARD CUSTOMER. A green looking customer observ- ed a sign hanging over a grocery store, reading thus : 4 Wholesale and Retail Store*’ He worked his way through' the crowd of ladies and gentlemen, until he got facing one of ihe clerks, who was exhibi- ting some fine sugar ton young lady, when he broke out with : * Say, Mister, who’s boss here V 4 The proprietor has just stepped out, sir.’ 4 Well, be this a retailing shop V The young man hardly compre- hending greeny’s thoughts, simply answered : ‘Yes, sir a wholesale and retail store.’ ‘Guess you understand your trade.’ ‘ O, yes,’ replied the clerk, wrap- ping up a bundle for his hdy cus* tomer, * what can 1 do for you.’ 4 Well as the cohl weather is com- ing on, 1 thought 1 mought as well come and give you a job.’ ‘ I don’t understand you, stranger,’ replied the cleik, who be- gan to think the fellow was in the wrong box. ‘ Zactly so ; well, I’ll tell you.’ 4 Explain what you mean, my friend,’ said the cleik, as he saw him produce a bundle from under his coat ‘Well, as I said before, the cold weather’s coming on, I thought I mought as well be fixin’n for it. Come mighty near frcczin’ t’other winter, tell ye did, butâ€"’ 4 Stranger, I hope you will tell me what you want, so I may serve you,’ interrupted the clerk, seeing there were a number of customers wait- ing to be served, but who, in fact had almost forgotten their errands in the rich conversation between the clerk and his droll customer. 4 Certainly, squire, certainly, I al- ways do business in a hurry, and just as quick as the old master will let you, I want you to re tail these old shirts! Lit ’em come down to about the knees, kase I dont ware^ any drawers 1’ The effort may be imagined, but, as the novelists say, can’t bo describ- ed. The loud burst of laughter which followed, served to convince the poor fellow he had committed himself? and his long legs were put in motion at the rate of 2.40. DEATH. Strange, that we can live so con- stantly with that threatening hand over us, and yet not think of it al- ways ! Strange, that we can use a limb, or enter, with interest into any persuit of time when we know that our continued life is almost a miracle ! How difficult it is to realize death ! IIow difficult to believe thr.tt'.ie hand with whose every vein you are fami- liar, will ever lose its warmth and its motion ! That the eye which is so restless now, will settle and grow dull. That the refined lip which now shrinks so sensitively from defilement, will not feel the earth lying upon it, and the tooth of ihe feeling worm ! Tnat the free breath wilt be choked, and the fore- head be pressed heavily 011 the de- caying coffin, and the high air be shut out ; and this very b>dy, warm and breathing and active as it is now w.il feel no uneasiness or pain. Oh 1 it is hard to believe at first that we must die!â€"harder, still, to believe and realize the repulsive cir- cumstances that follow that terrible change ?â€"It is a bitter thought at the lightest. There is little com- fort in knowing that the soul will be thereâ€"that the sense and the mind, that feel and measure suffering will not be gone. The separation is too great a mystery to sutisfy fear,â€"it is the body that we know. It is this material frame in which the affec- tions have grown up- The spirit :s a mere thoughtâ€"a presence that v e are told of but do not see. PhiloiC- phise as we will, the idea of exis- tence is connected in dissolubly with the visible body and its pleasant and familiar senses. We talk' of, and believe the ascent of the soul to its Maker but it is not ourselvesâ€"it is not our own conscious breathing identity that we send up in imagin- ation through the invisible air. It is some phantom that is to issue forth mysteriously and leave us gazing on in wonder. We do not understand, we connot realize it.â€" Willis, The Scottish American Journal DEVOTED TO THE Interests of Scotchmen in America, AND TO TUK DISSEMINATION OK SCOTTISH LITERATURE AND ART ! CONSIDERING the multiplicity of news- papers in America, it has to many been a matter of surprise that the numerous body of Scottish residents should have been so long un- represented. To supply this desideratum, No. 1, of the Scottish American Journal was published on Saturday, August S, 1857. and is now continued weekly. The primary object of the Journal is to fur- nish its readers regularly with the news of their native country. It presents a weekly re- cord of all events of interest occurring in Scot- land, and its subscribers are in this way as fully informed of what is transpiring at homo as if they were in regular receipt of an old-country newspaper. Scottish questions will be discussed with intelligence and impartiality in the editor- ial columns, and the sentiments of the leading parties on these subjects will be fairly repre- sented and commented upon. In the literary and miscellaneous department of the paper, while merit and talent will be ap- preciated from whatever country they.emanate, the Scottish element will preponderate. Tales, sketches, and poetry, illustrative of the Scottish character, and of a nature fitted to call forth the sympathies of Scotchmen botii at home and abroad, will occupy a conspicuous place. In this department, the co-operation of various distinguished authors, possessing unrivalled facilities for the task, has been secured* In politics, the Journal will occupy a thoroughly independent position, alike free from party bias and national prejudice. In or- der to ii terest its readers wherever situated, i< will take a broad view of topics of this class, hoiding thoso of a merely local nature, except n so far as they may p;esent points of import- ance to the general pnblic Questions involv- ing the interests of British residents in the United States and in the British Provinces, will bo specially consideied, and it is believed that the information and news of the Journal on this impo tant class of subjects will be .such as shall command attention. The Scottish American Journal, w ill in every respect be conducted' in an efficient and busit.ess like manner, with every requisite guarantee for its permanence. The proprietors, who are responsible parties, resident in New York and elsewhere, therefore look with con- fidence for the support of their numerous coun- trymen in all parts of America, and they will be glad to communicate with respectable par- ties at a distance who may be disposed to co- operate with them for the establishment of the paper in their respective localities. A publication established with these objects must of course look for support mainly from those connected by birth or descent with the country whose current history it chronicles : but as the broad basis of this journal necessi tates, in addition, tho treatment of all import- ant questions affecting American interests, and as its literature will be cosmopolitan, it is hoped that even to the genera! reader its columns will not appear unentertainino: or profitless.

DR. MORSE’S Indian Hoot Pills. DR. MORSE, tho inventor of Morse’s Indian Root Pills, has spent the greater portion of bis life in travelling, having visited Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as North Americaâ€" has spent three years among tin Indians of our Western countryâ€"it was in this way that the Indian Root Pills were first discovered. Dr. Morse was the tirst man to establish the fact that all diseases arise from IMPURITY OF THE BLOODâ€"that our strength, health and | life depended upon this vital fluid. When the various passages become clogged, | and do not act in perfect harmony with the dif- ferent functions of the body, the blood loses its action, becomes thick, corrupted and diseased ; thus causing all pains, sickness and distress of every name ; our strength is exhausted, our health we are deprived of, and if nature is not assisted in tnrowing off the stagnant humors, j the blood will become choked and cease to act, and thus our light of life will be forever blown out. How important then that we should keep iho various passages of the body free and open. And how pleasant to us that we have it iu our power to put a medicine in vour reach, namely, Morse’s Indian Root Pills, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around tho mou:i- >ttuious cliffs iu Nature’s Garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man. Ono of the roots from which these Pills are made is a Sudorific, which opens tho pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out the finer parts of ill© corruption within. The second is a plant which is an Expectorant, that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs by copious spitting. The third is a Diuretic, which gives e ise and double strength to tho kidneys; thus ••nconraged, they draw large amounts of im- purity from the blood, which is then thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passage, ind which could not have been discharged in any other way. The fourth is a Cathartic, and accompanies the other properties of the Pills while engaged in purifying the blood ; the coarser particles of impurity which cannot pass by ihe other outlets, are thus taken up and From the above, it is shown that Dr. Mouse’s Indian Root Pills not only enter the stomach, but become united with the blood, for they find their way to every part, and complete- ly rout and release the system from all impuil’V, and the life of the body, which is the blooa, becomos perfectly healthy; consequently ail sickness and pain is driven from tho system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes so pure and clear. Tho reason why people are so distressed when sick, and why so many die, is because they do not get a medicine which will pass to the afflicted parts, and which will open the natural passage for the disease to be cast out; hence, a large quantity of food and other matter is lodged, and the stomach and intestines are literally overflowing with the corrupted mass ; thus undergoing disagreeable fermentation, constantly mixing with the blood, which throws the corrupted matter through every vein and artery, until life is taken from the body by disease. Dr. Morse’s PILLS have added to themselves victory upon victory, by restoring millions of the sick to blooming health and hap- piness. Yes, thousands who have been racked or tormented with sickness, pain and anguish, and whose feeble frames have been scorched by the burning elements of fever, and who iiave been brought, as it were, within a step of lie silent grave, now stand ready lo testify that they would have been numbered with the dead, had it not been for this great and wonderful medicine, Morse’s Indian Root Pills.. Atterone or two doses had been taken, th«y were as tonisbed, and absolutely surprised, in witnessing their charming effects. Not only do J.h$y give immediate ease and strength, and tafce aw$y all sickness, pain and anguish, b«t they at once go to woik at the foundation of the disease, I which is tli« blood. Therefore, it will be shown, especially by those who use these Pills, that they will so cjense and purify, that diseaseâ€" that deadly enemyâ€"will take its flight, and the flush of youth and beauty will again return, and the prospect of a long and happy life will cherish and brighten your days.

If the Mechanic or Artizan wishes to know tiie best machine in use, or how to make any substance employed in his businessâ€"if the llousewite wishes to get a recipe for making a good color, &c.â€"if the Inventor wishes to know what is going on in the way of improvementsâ€"if the Manufac- turer wishes to keep posted with the times, and to employ the best facilities in his busi- nessâ€"if the Man of Leisure and Study wishes to keep himself familiar with the progress made in the chemical laboratory, or in the construction Of telegraphs, steamships, rail- roads, reapers, mowers, and a thousand other machines and appliances, both of peace and warâ€"all these desiderata can be found in the Scientific American, and not elsewhere.
