! What is Dirt ?—J)r. Cooper ofSouth C ir-
■ olina. used tosay to his students, "don't be a-
' Iraid of a liltle dirt,-young gentlemen. What
1 'sdirt ? Why, notliiii" at all offensive, when
| chemically viewed. Put a littlo alkali upon
thai 'dirty grease' spot on your coat; and it,
j undergoes n chemical clianga and becomes
' soap. Now rub it wit li a litile water and it
Iappear; it is neither grease, soup, nor dirt.
l'i'at is not it very odorous pile of dirt
; yon observe there. \\ eil scatter a little gyp-
t sum over it; and it is no longer dirrv. Every
I 'liing you call dirt, is worthy your notice as
| students of chemistry. Analize it! It wil]
1 separate into very clean element.
"Dirt makes corn, corn niakss 'bread and
meat and that makes a very sweet young lady
that I saw one of you kissing last nijjht.-—
! So alter all von were kissinjr dirt—particularly
I if she whitens I km- skin with chalk or fuller's
earh. There is no telling, young gentlemen,
what is dirt. Though. I must say, that rub-
j bin? such -tuff ii[i»n the beautiful skin ol'a
young lady, is a dirty pra dice, 'i'earl pow-
der,' I think, is made ol bismuth—nothing but
dirt."

MOFFAT'S
Life Pills and Plicenix Bitters.
Those Medicines have now bfen before the pub-
lic for a period of FIFTEEN TEARS* a"d
during that time have maintained a high character
in almost every part qf the globe for their extraor-
dinary and immediate power of restoring perfect
health to persons suffering uuder nearly every kind
of disease to which the human frame is liablo.
IM MANY THOUSANDS
of certificated instances, they have even rescued
sufferers from the very verge of an untimely grave,
after all the deceptive nostrums of the day had ut-
terly failed; and to many thousands thoy have
permanently secured that uniform enjoyment of
health, without which life itself i9 but a partial
blessin<*. So great, indeed, has their oflicacy inva-
riably and infallibly proved, that it has appeared
scarcely less ^han miraculous to those who were
acquainted with the beautifully philosophical prin-
ciples upon which they are compounded, and upon
which they consequently act. It was to their
manifest and sensible action in purifying the springs
and channels of life, and enduing them with re-
newed tone and vigor, that they were indebted for
their name.
Unlike the host of pernicious quackeries which
boast of vegetable ingredients, the LIFE MEDI-
CINES are purely and solely vegetable ; and con-
tain neither Mercury, nor Aiitiittony, "or Arse-
nic, any other mineral, iu any form whatever.
They are entirely composed of extracts from rare
and powerful plants, the virtues of which, though
long known to several Indian tribes, aud recently
to some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are alto-
gether unknown to the ignorant pretenders to
iiredical science ; and were never before admiuiB-
terod in so happily efficacious a combination.
The first operation is to loosen from the coats of
the stomach and bowe'o the various impurities and
crudities constantly settling round tljein : and to
remove the hardened feces which collect in the
convolutions of the small intestines. Qther medi-
cines only partially demise these, aud leave such
collected masses behind to produce habitual Costive-
ness, with all its train of evils, or sudden Diarrhea
with its imminent dangers. This fact is well
known to all regular anatomists who examine the
human bowels after death ; and hence the preju-
dice of these well informed men against the quack
medicines of the age. The second elfrct of the
VEGETxlBLE LIFE MEDICBfES is to
cleanse the kidneys aud ihe biudder ; and, by this
means, the liver and lungs, the healthful actiou of
which entirely depends upon the regularity of the
urinary organ*. The b!o.)d, which takes its red
color from the agency of the liver aud lungs, before
it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them,
and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach,
courses freely through the veins, renews every part
of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner
of health in the blooming cheek.
The following are among the distressing variety
of human diseases in which tf.* VEGETABLE
LIFE MEDICHIE3 are known to be inial-
hble :
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first
and second stonwehs, and creating a flow of pure
healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind;
FLATULENCY, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn,
Headache, Restlessness, Ill-temper, Anxiety,
Languor, and Melancholy, which are the general
symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as a natural
consequence of its cure.
COBtiveness, by Cleansing the whole length of
the intestines with a solvent process, and without
violence • all violent purges leave the bowels costive
within two days.
Diarrhoea and Cholera, bv removing th«
sharp acnu limits ny which uie&p. complaints are
occasioned, and by promoting the lubricative secio-
tion of the mucous membrane.

that he tried in vain every remedy prescribed
within the whole compass of the Materia Medica.
He however at length tried the Medicine which is

possible, by any human means.

Diskasks or Ferial**— these medicines have been
used with the most beneficial results in cases of this
description:—King's Evil, and Scrofula, iu its
worst forms, yields to the mild yet powerful action of
these remarkable Medicines. Night Sweats,
Nervous Dehii.ity, Nervous Complaints of all
kinds, Palpitation of ths Heart, Painter's
Colic, are speedily cured.
MERCURIAL DISEASES.
Persons whose coiiftitutiODS have becorpe im-
paired by the injudicums use of Mucukt, will find
these Medicines a pe./ect cure, u they never tail
to eradicate from the system &'.! the effects ol
Mercury infinitely sooner than the moat powerful
preparations of Sarsaparlla. A single trial will
place them beyond the reach of competition, iu C"*
estimation of every patient.

TOWN OF TAOS,
AT TIIE HEAD OF NAVIGATION O^'
THE TRINITY RIVER
te n wiles below the kaft
THE above town has keen laid off atPo rterj
Bluff, on the west bank of the Trinity-
the immense advantages h;»ld out to the
Merchant, Farmer,Mechanic and Profession^
man, in search of a location, arc such as will
impress every person in its favor, who valuo
health, a rich soil, and a genial climate. Mer-
chants will here find a tract of .country one
hundred miles in extent dependent upon this
point for supplies, the Farmer can purchase
good land in the immediate vicinty at from (if-
ty cents to one dollar per acre, the title indis-
putable, consisting of choice black and choco-
late colored soil, timber and prairie, in point q{
richness, fully equal to the American bottoms
on the Mississippi, or the bottopi jands of the
Red and Arkansas .iivers, affording an excel-
lent Stqck. range,, both Summer and Winter
and well calculated for the growth of Corn
Cotton, Wheat,Rye, Oats, .and. Garden Vege-
tables.
The Frmer Mechanio and Professional man
puisne their several occupations with profit
and will have the advantage of a rapidly in-
creasing population: there is sufficient water
power for Mills and Manufacfiving purposes
This being the nearest Bluff to the foot of
the raft, and accessible the best part of tht
year, to • boats of light draught, affords the
most desirable depot for storing goods destined
for upper Texas, aud the tdj^ning States of
New Mexico.
The roads from Shrevepori, Mouth of Mill
Creek and Kiamiachie, on Red River, also
from Paris and Bonham intersect the road
leading to Porter's Bluffjn and near Kings-
borough Prairie.
The Trinity bottom at this point is scarcely
half a mile wide, with but 1 slough, over which
a good bridge has been built, whereas at every
other crossing the bottom is from three to live
miles widest, cat up with innumerable sloughs.
A direct line trom the Clarksville prairies to
Austin .would cross the Trinity river in th*
immediate vicinity of Porter's Bluff, this route
now having a good and perfectly straight road
between these points, will pnake.it the most
popular line,of travel to the West.
