tM l^orttq. THE MOTHER’S PRAYER. [Suggested by seeing a mothet bending over her child in the attitude of prayer.] Music from heaven, play sweet around ; And earth, hush thy discordant tones, While o’er my babe steals sleep profound. To close her eyesâ€"to still her moans. Ve angels, hover near her head, And chant in soft, celestial strain, While starry lamps shine on her bed, And blessings fall like summer’s rain. Whisper, ye winds, in cadence mild ; Ye threatening tempests, sink to rest; Oh, gentle peace, be with my child, With seraph visions may her sleep be blest. Father of all, to thee I’ll raise, My eyes, my hands, 1 clasp in prayer: Guard her by night, and guide her days, And for thy home her soul prepare. iJustum jutmtotg.

G‘J-1 v GENERAL AUCTIONEERS i The Scottish American Journal COMMISSION T AGENTS THOMAS SEDMAN, SSafir FUNERAL A waspish waist makes a woeful want ’â€"of health. When a woman gives you a 1 bit oflier mind,’ it is, because she cannot keep the •peace. “ Why is the proprietor of a ‘ ham and bee* shop’ like a professor of languages 1 â€"Because he is a retailer of tongues. ‘ I was wellâ€"would be betterâ€"took physicâ€"and died.’ Jim Bones, a free nigger, of New York, has a child so exceedingly dark that he cannot be seen on the lightest day. How could you make a thin child fat ? Well, just pitch him out of the window, and he will come down plump. 1 There is no rose without a thorn.’ Quiz says there is a prim-rose. Why are your lips always at variance? Because words are frequently passing be- tween them. A dar.<(3y wishing to be witty accosted an fclld bellman as foitows : < You take all sorts of trumpery in your cart V * Certainlyâ€" jump in.’ A farmer the other day was told by his landlord that he was going to raise his rent. ‘ Much obliged,’said lie,* for I find it impossible to raise it myself.’ ‘ Bubby, why don’t you go home and have your mother sew up that hole in your trowsers,’ ‘ Oh, go along, old woman ; our folks are economizing, and a hole will Jast longer than a patch.’ An alderman having grown enormously fat while in office, a wag wrote on his back, * Widened at the expense of the Corpora- tion.’ Says an astronomer to a bright-eyed girl, when talking of rainbows, ‘ Did you ever see a lunar bow, miss]’ * I have seen beaux by moonlight, if that’s what you mean,’ was the sly rejoinder. An actor with a very homely phiz, was acting Mithridates, when a beautiful cap- tive said to himâ€"‘ Ah, my Lord ; you change countenance.’ A man in the pit exclaimed, 1 Don’t stop him, don’t stop him ; for Heaven’s sake let him.’ When the conversation at Holland House turned upon first love, Tom Moore compared it to a potato, because ‘ it shoots from the eyes.’ ‘ Or rather,’ ex- claimed Byron, ‘ because it becomes less by pcuring, /’ ‘ If the gentleman who keeps a slioe- store with a red head, will return the um- brella which he borrowed of a young lady with an ivory handle, he will hear ot some- thing to her advantage.” A son of Galen who was very angry when any joke was passed on physicians, once defended himself from raillery by say- ing, ‘ I defy any person whom I ever at- tended to accuse me of ignorance or ne- glect.’ ‘ That you may do safely,’ re- plied a wag, * for you know, doctor, dead men tells no tales.’ Why is an abbot a greater dunce than you are 1â€"Because he never gets further than his A.

At a late soiree at Count de Kisseleffs a new Polish waltz was introduced, in which was introduced, in which each ger- tleman holds a glass filled with campaign, and the grand point is to go round ti e room without spilling the wine.

Sept. 29, 1858. 69-ly 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 low 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 home 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 tho 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 oi the Scottish character, and of a nature fitted to call forth the sympathies of Scotchmen both at home and abroad, will occupy a conspicuous place. In this department, tho 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 interest its readers wherever situated, il will take a broad view of topics of this class, choiding those of a merely local nature, except in 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 iu the British Provinces, will be specially considered, and it is believed that the information and news of the Journal on this impoitant class of subjects will be such as shall command attention. The Scottish American Journal, will in every respect be conducted in an efficient and business like manner, with every requisite guarantee for its permanence. The proprietors, who are responsible parties, resident ia 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, the treatment of all import- ant questions affecting American interests, and as its literature will be cosmopolitan, it is hoped that even to the general reader its columns will not appear uuentertainin" or profitless.

ORR OsHAVVA, C. W. From whom all English or American Phon- graphic Works may be orecured R. MORSE, the inventor of Morse’s Indian Root Pills, has spent the greater portion of his life in travelling, having visited Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as North Americaâ€" has spent three years among tho Indians of our Western countryâ€"it was in this way that tho Indian Root Pills were first discovered. Dr. Morse was tho first man to establish the fact that ail 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, 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 tho various passages of the body free and open. And how pleasant lo us that we have it in our nower to put a medicine in your reach, namely, Morse’s Indian Root Pills, manufactured from plants and roots which grow around the moun- atnious cliffs in Nature’s Garden, for the health and recovery of diseased man. One of the roots from which these Pills are made is a Sudorific, which opens iho pores of the skin, and assists Nature in throwing out the finer parts of tbe 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 ease and double strength to the kidneys; thus encouraged, they draw large amounts of im- purity from the blood, which is then thrown out bountifully by the urinary or water passage, and 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 the other outlets, are thus taken up and From tiie 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, becomes porlectly healthy; consequently all sickness and pain is driven from the system, for they cannot remain when the body becomes so pure and clear. The 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. Yres, 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 have been brought, as it were, within a step of he silent grave, now stand ready to 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. After one or two doses had been taken, they were as tonished, and absolutely surprised, in witnessing their charming effects. Not only do they give immediate ease and strength, and take away all sickness, pain and anguish, but they at once go to work at the foundation of the disease, which is the blood. Therefore, it will be shown, especially by those who use theee Pills, that they will so dense 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.

The reputation of these very celebrated vege- table remedies is now unequalled by any others in this country or in Europe. They are fully established as the most universal family medi- cine now in use, and they will maintain their pre-eminent renown by the intrinsic and com- prehensive virtues which acquired it. The usual modes of puffery would be unworthy of them and is unnecessary. Thousands and tens of thousands of persons now living in perfectly restored health, can testify, as thousands have testified, to their prompt and decided efficacy not only in ail ordi- nary derangements of health, from Impaired Digestive Functions, Costiveness, Bilious and Liver Complaints, Rheumatic and Inflamma- tory Colds, Coughs, Nervous Weakness, Loss of Appetite, Failure of Flesh, Headache and Iflipu re State of tbe Blood and other Fluids, but also in Rheumatism, Fever and Ague, other Intermittent Fevers, Asthma, Bronchits, Cho- lic, Pleurisy, Palpitation of the Heart, Rush of Blood to the Head, Settled Pains in the Joints, Limbs and Organs, Affections of the Bladdoi and Kidneys, Jaundice, Dropsy, Piles, howovo; inveterate, Habitual Costiveness, Serous and Bilious Looseness, Obstinate Headache and Giddiness, and an immense number of other maladies. They require no dieting nor confinement,aie perfectly mild and pleasant in their operation, but will powerfu ly restore healthâ€"that greatesl of all earthly blessingsâ€"to the most exhausted and dilapidated constitutions.

The prices at which theso and other types aro sold at the Canada Type Foundry, will be found at least 30 per cent less than they couid be pur- chased previous to its establishment. It is therefore hoped thatthe Printers of Cana- da will show their appreciation of the advantages it holds out, by be towing upon it a fair share of their patronage, in return for which the propriet- ors pledge themselves to leave no means untried to give ample satisfaction. Printers ! mark the reduction in the price of type s nee this Foundry was opened ; and bear in mind that a greater reduction depend upon your- selves. Our motto isâ€"supply the trade with type of such quantities and at such prices as will pre- vent the necessity of patronising foreign manu- factures.

G. & Co APOTHECARIES’ K1 IIA L L T The object of (he Woman’s Advocate is the> opening out of new spheres of employment for women who have so long suffered the distress attendant upon the insufficient remuneration, and a too limited number of occupations. The paper endeavors to collect all informa- tion that can be important to women, relative to occupations bottor suited to them, and which will yield a more comfortable subsistence than tho few unhealthy trades upon which they have been so far obliged to depend for exis- tence. The Advocate employs, in the various de- partments of the business, many women, who aro paid for their labor as high prices as are* paid to men for the same amount of work. To ihe editor and proprietor the past three years in which she lias been engaged in this work, have been years of anxiety and toil ; but the enterprize has been carried on with the hope of doing good to others, and finally pushing the business to a successful point, when it may re- munerate all concerned. With this hope she enters the field for another year, trusting to the many assurances of friends >n all parts of tho country, for aid and co-operation.
