THE IRISH NATIONAL GATHERING . ' TABA . OF THE KINGS . Xsst -week ire had Tiot loom even for the meagre gna nnafisfastory report of the Great Irish National QaUiaing , to declare , or pronounce , ior Repeat -which appe » ed in tije 3 x > ndDnaaay papers . It was at a late period of the "Week that the account , meagre and ghora-down as It "was , appeared ; and -we "we werethen posniBgnno ' era " prets of matter . " We are glad that ji happened so . Ha € -we presented our readers with tbBTeport that has since gone the round ct the English press , no adequate' idea of the nature , and txtent . and enthusiasm 4 > £ thai most extraordinary GATHERING could hare been foraed . Prom the Weekly Freemen ' s Journal ir& could get a much , mote BatM&ctorv notice ; and we are glad ihat the delay has enabled ns to do so ior ol all things it is important that the people of England Buouldxightlj nndezstand the extent , and nature , and scope of the Irish Movement
The Journal describes the procession of Mr . O'Connell from his own Lours in Herrion-square , Dublin , towards the place of meeting—Tara-HilL He describes the enthusiasm of the people throughout the Whole line -of iheir journey ; and states that at Belpir , about a mfle and -a half from the hill , the liberator tpss met by the men of Kelto , and Trim , and Ifaran , -with thai xespeetiVB bands , playiag airs of triumph . The Trim hand , one of the finest in Ireland , V 28 dressed in an extremely beautiful uniform of -white , faced -with brilliant green ; and the band from Sells was conspicuous in a large caravan , constructed for the purpose , -with Saga it the tour comers , and a large -white flag in the centre , having tl » -wordB Ireland for the Irish . " A large a d very beautiful green banner , pierced -snth . 3 crimson border , asd a device executed in the centre , -was borne behind this ban £ , and the Yery Kev . t > i . U ' Evoy , the patriotic parish priest
of XeDs ^ -wbo ttsb himself the bearer of a flag at one of the curnfcrs of the Tast vehicle in -which his band "was canifcd , cheered rthe Liberator enthusiastically as he passed . The -standard borne by the Tfavan hand had Ifee follo-wiiig judicious inscriptions , namely : —*• Ireland vrelove thee , ^ md glory in struggling for thy tause ;" and " Obedience to the laws is the pivot upon -which all our actions tan . " JLt this point the scene became infinitely more animated thati at asy preceding one durinz the procession . As the Liberator ' a carriage passed , each of the bandB strnck . up" Behold the conqnaricg Hero comes / 5 ' bnt In a moment the music "was drotrned in the Still more soul-stirring thunders of the jnuMtnde . In passing hy the demesne of Mr , Xyneh , pf -R » m » TP the liberator ^ ras greeted by » great number cf most respectable persons , -who occupied private phaeton * , and among whom -were several elegant and fashionably dressed ladies .
The scene had been already suSdently interesting and animated , but the jaomccx how arrived -when it l > ecame incomparably more bo . A tarn in the road diBeloBedloTiew the aide of the Hill of Tara , -with ecuntless thousands spread ever , and tfcB leng road " lead ing to it filled - * i 3 h one dense mass of human heings , As the carriage of the Liberator "reached this spot a shout was raised that rent the air ionfiSes ; and the ibont passed along the line until it reached the hill "where all *• Teasora of the KingB , ' * took up the . echo , and ietnrned it lock -with a Jong , hoarse murmur , Tike "the sound of many "Waters . "' ilx . ( TGonnell toes in bis seat , profoundly affected , and there 'sste few who fcebeld the scene > t that moment that did not feel deep emotfon . The old Harper touched the chords of his harp , but the sounds died -upon the strings themselves , ki 3 tbe drums and horns of the numerous bands were dumb ; the voice of half a miliionshontiEg -welcome to their Liberator , and Hurrah ! for Ireland , could alone be heard .
Bow zlorions were the sounds that awoke the long silent echoes 6 t " Temora of the Ecgs . * " The music of Ireland was once more beard in the ruins of the Hall of Tars , and among the desert remains of the House of Comae . The- melodies of the olden time resounded sweetly from Rath-na-Koigh , snd from the Tea-mnr , and from-Batfc-l-soEhaire , and from the Dnmha-na-Kgialljand from Rath-na-Seansioh- The Lia Pail , or ScOne of ^ Destiny , -was there ; not on ths mound of the Uesiages , where it once stood , £ ut over the " Croppies * Grave ; " ami although 5 t did not emit its mysteriens tfrnrntftrs as of old , the thunders of Ireland ' s myriads were heard around it , from the monnds of- the Cathair-Crofinn . They , were , Indeed , thrilling rounds to hear . * Twas a cold heart they would not move ! The tear glistened in the eye of the stranger when he looked on thatseene and ibought of our history ; and many a heart was toofnfl to restrain the big drop which joy , and grief , and hope , and sympathy , made to trickle flown the ch «« k .
Is the history of Ireland ; and in , perhaps , that of Europe , there is no rseord of a meeting like that which Was wivsessed on Tuesday oh Tara's SIR . Whether we estimate its importance from its numbers or from the associations connected with the scene in which it Was 2 teM , wa find it equally unprecedented . There was a prestige abonV the spot which would have rendered it a imore important and a more interesting demonstration dan zsy of the other " monger meetings" which Ireland has yet witnessed in the cause of her legislative independence , -were it even less in numbers than any of them , bnt in numbers , too , it has far ticeeded ih ? m .
The platform , which wzs rsi-ed at a -short distance from the outer enclosure of the Eath-ns-Biodh , was ealcalited tots capable dfeontaiiiing more than a thousand persons , and within a few paces of it was constructed a smaller one , which wss devoted exclusively tc the Indies , axd presested during the meeting a brilliant galaxy of lemsle oeaiity . At rase " o ' clock a temporary alter was erfcttd near SLs summit of the Mil , and the Rev . Francis Flinn , P . P . of 3 > svsav cfiixed the lioly sacrifice of the mass , which Wss attended "by a congregation of temperate ^ hti futbfnl people , amounting to iuEdreds 0 / thousands . The occasion -was tns of most a-wfal aolsmnitS ' . J Ttie
-placethe ipotwhere the jatrtn e&wi of Ireland mst preachea thegsspel of salvation before the assembled princes of ihelsnd , and where the Idols of paganism crumbled before the blzzs of eternal truth that burst from the upBfted cross . Tcere , on the fame hiU . no longer in the godsons palace , in the warrior ' s csmp , « in the ehJfcftalnStcEt , but on the desEit rains of them all , and beneath the blue canopy of heaven—then and there it was that the humble minister -offered np an oblation for the-people—there , on the wreck of former grandeur , and amid the memorials ef past glories , did the people bend before the throne of mercy as the first dnty of a day to he devoted , to the regeneration of their native land . , At half tititb the 31 dd
-paEt BeT . Hr . 'Hroy , , Navsn , agam teltbriled mats , and after him the BeV , Mr . Coghlan , ofGoninstown , celebrated the Divineuysteries , asd liaving tddresEed the countless multitude at some length , on the importance of temperance , and its value as a moral assistance to their spiritual advisers , ana as air aid to their politics ! leader , he called on them to kneel and cStx up a prayer to the Msrcy Seat for the prolongation of the life of him who—the promulgstor of the doctrine of moral revolution—was leading them on to e bloodless sud stzinltss victory- The address waB of tLe most imprtsidve character , and wss followed by an extempore prayer in which the people audibly joined , and , wilh uplifted hands , implored a blessing on Ihfctr leader , end freedom for their conntry . Masses were afterwards celebrated in succession by the Bev . J . Coghlan , of Maiown , and the Rst . Mr . CFarrell , of JIoatE .
Amidst the other intereg&jg featnres of the day there 3 a one which we cannot omit to mention here . The 33 rcghfcda trades * preceded by their band , and bearing tme and twenty baaners , Errived on the hill st > ont twelve o ' clock , and immediately proceeded to the centre of Rath-2 fa-Riedh , and planted ihfcir colours in a circle arouEd the Zia Fail , which stards over the gravts cf flie TTnired Jrjshnnsj who ieli at Tara in 179 S- Dsrfng Uicir inarch to the laih they wtre joaied by the K = iis and two other tsxds ; and , haTins formed the circle of JanEers , the four hands whseh were placed in the centre o ! -fee ring struck up" God save the Qnetsu , " and tben played " Patrick ' s" D 2 y , " which -was again and again rapturously enecred by the innumerable crowds that ¦ were congregated around the interesting spot . The effect of tte circle of batners , as sten from the distance to cTownthe . summit of themoEsd / was most picture qne , ana could be fousllbi enly in ihe femotlons it was caleolated ts produce by a kniwlfcdge cf the creBmstaiices under which it was formed .
In general the hands on enterirg the field proceeded to this muaiicholy monument , and wi £ b . solemn dirges saluitd ibe memory * f the dead . On one occasion , iMrty JTcxford men kneit around the Stone of DcstiDy , and with unified hands cSkred a piayer to Heaven for their msssscred fathers and brothers whose remains reposed bentaih . The efiect wasirresisable ; snd , with nnc&VEred heads and bended knees en the green swarth . tinrlJThODiand men followed the pious example . The moment wsa toltmn in the extreme , as the incense of

out fear or danger , and in the middle of thB noon dBy , that ihe friends of them that u gone e&nld come here when I remem Ber r A * s s » on as the promoters of tna meeting had taken their places on the platform , and silence had fcceen obtained—Mr . Nicholas Boylan , of Hilltown House , came forward , and said hehad the honour to move the illustrious liberator of Ireland to Hie chaix , on ttis great and important occasion—{ ckeera ) . Tbe proposition was passed with acclamation , and the chair was taken by
THE LIBERATOR . M 2- O ~ Connell ~ proceeded to address the meeting , and was received with loud cheers . When the cheerine had subsided , he said—It would ba the extreme of affectation in me to suggest , that I have not some claims to be the leader of this majestic meeting—^ ( cheers ) . It would De worse than affectation—it would be drivelling folly , if I were not to feel the awful responsibility that the part I have taken in this majestic movemtnt imposes upon ' me—( hear ) . I feel responsibility to my conntry — responsibility to my Creator—{ hear ) . Yes , I feel the tremulous nature of that responsibility—Ireland is aroused , i » aroused from on »« nd to ths other . HermnV titudinons population have but one expression , and one wish , " and that is the extinction of the Union , the restoration of her nationality —( cheers > A Toice—There will be no compromise .
Mr . O Connell—Who is that thai talks of compromise ( cheers ) ? I am cot here for the purpose of making anything like a schoolboy ' s attempt at declamatory eloquence j I am not here to revive in ycur recollection any of those poetic imaginings respecting the spot on which ¦ we stand—shear , hear )—and which have really become ss household words ; I am not here to exasgerate the historial importance of the spot on which we are congregaied—but it is impossible to deny that Tara has " historical TscoliectionB that give to it an importance , relatively , to other portions of the land , and deEerves to be so considered by every person who comts to it for political purposes—( hear )—and gives it an elevation and point of impression in the public mind that no other part ef Ireland can possibly hava History may be
tarnished by exaggeration , but the fact is undoubted that we are at Tara of the KiBgs—icbters ) . We are on the spot where the monarchs of Ireland were erected , and where the Chieftans of Ireland bound tbemselYes by the sac-ed pledge of honour and the tie of religion to stand by their native land against the Danes , or any other stranger—( cheers ) . Thisis-empbatically the spot from which it emanated the social power—the legal authority—the right to ' dominion over the furthest extremes of the Island , and the power of concentrating the force of the entire nation for the purpose of national defence—( cheer *) . On this important spot I have an inporiant duty to perform—i here protest in the face of my conntry , in tiie face of my Creator—in the lace of Ireland and our God , I protest against the
continua ce of the Hnfounded and urjast Union—) cheers ) My proposition to Ireland is that the Union is not binding upon ns ; it is not binding , I mean , npon conscience—it is void in principle—it is void as matter of right—and it is void in constitutional law—( hear , hear ) . I proiest by everything that is Eacred , —without being profane to the troth of my assertion—( hear . )—there is really no union between the countries—thear . ) I don ' t speak sow of those details thai should make the Union a mockery j bnt there is , I repeat it , no rtal Union between the countries—( bear ) . My proposition 13 that there "was ne authority vested in auy p rson to pass Hie Act of Union . I deny the authority of the Act . The English Legislators had no such compett-ncy —that muBt be admitted by every person . The Iruh
Legislature had no such competency -, and 1 arraign the Union , therefore , on the ground of the incompetency of . the bodies that passsed it—( bear ) . No authority could render it binding bat the authority cf the Irish people , consulted individnally through the counties , cities , towns , and villnges ; and if the ptop ' . e of Ireland called for the Union , thtn it was binding on them , but thtre wss no olher authority that couW mate it binding—thear , hear ) . The Irish Parliament had no sneh authoiity ; they were elected to make laws and sot legislatures , and it had no richt to the authority which alone belonged to the people of Ireland . The trustee might as -well usurp the right of the person who trusts him ; the servant xiisfrt as Well usurp the powers of the master . Tbelrish Parliament were elected
ss our trustees—we were their masters—they were but our servants , and they had no right to transfer us to any other power on the face of the earth—ihear , hear ) . When I proclaim the Union to be a nullity , I have the words of Ssnrin , who declared , in speaking of the Union— " It will be obeyed as b law as long as youhave a sufficient force to keep it bo , but no longer ; " and I now tell you to continue your peaceful , bat steady , opposition to that Union , until your loyalty and fidelity are . TBwarfied hy the calling together of our native Parliament bj our beloved Sovereign . Three enters for her . ( Here the immense multitude cheered for several minutes . ) We will break no law . See how we have accumulated the people of Ireland for this Repeal year . When , on the 2 nd of January , I ventured to call it
the Repeal year , every person laughed at me . Are they laughing now ? It is our turn to laugh at present Before twelve months more the Parliament -will be in College Green—< cheers ) . I said the Union did not take away from the people of Ireland their legal rights . I told you that the Union did not deprive the peojle of that right , or take away the authority to have selflegialatioo . It has not lesztced the prerogatives of the crown , or taken away the lights of the sovereign , and amongst them is the light to call her Parliament wherever the peopleare entitled to it , and the people of Ireland are entitled to have it in Ireland . And the Queen has only to-merow to-issue fctr writs and get the Chancellor to seal them , and if Sir Bdward Sugdtn dots not # gn them , she will soon get an Irishman that will , to revive the Irish Parliament . Tae towns which sold their birthright have no right to be reckosed amongst
the towns sending members to Parliament . King James the Hrst , in one day , created forty borou / jhs in Ireland , and the Queen has the same right as her predecessor to do so— ( hear , hear ) . We have a list of the towns to return members ( the counties , as a matter of course , will return them ) according to their popul * - tion , and the Queen has only to order writs to issue , and Jo have honest ministers to advise her to issue those writs , sod the Iriib Parliament is revived by its own energy , and the force of the Sovereign ' s preiogatrre—( hear ) . I will oaly require tie Queen to exercise her prerogative , and the Irish people will obtain their nationality again—( cheers ) . If , at the present moment , the Irish Parliament was in existence , even as it were in 1 SB 0 , is there a coward amongst you—is tbore a wretch amongst you so despicable that would not die rather than allow the Union to pass ? A Toice—Yes , to the last man—( cheers ) .
Mi O'Connell—Let every man who , if we had an Irish Parliament , would rather die than allow too Union to pass , lift np his hands . ( Tb « immense multitude lifted up their hands . ) Yes , the Queen will call that Parliament ; yon may say it is the act of her ministry , if you pUi&se . To be Bure it wonld be the act of her ministry , and the people of Ireland are entitled to have their friends appointed to the ministry—( hear , bear , anfi cheers ) . The Irish Parliament will thtn assemble , and I defy all the generals , old and young , and all the old women in pantaloons—( laughter ) . If 3 y , I dtfyaH the chivalry of the earth to take away that Parliament from us again —( cries of never ) . Well , jny frisnds , may I a ^ k you to obey me—( cries of we will}—in the course of conduct I point out to you ,
when I ^ ismiss you to-day ; when yon have heard the resolutions put , I am sure you will ga home with the same -tra&qnillity yon came here—( yes ) . Every man of yon ( every man of us , ) and if I wanted you again , wonld you not come again to Tara HiU for me—( cheers ) ? Remember me , 1 lead you into no periL If danger existed , it would arise from some person who wonld attack us , for we will attack nobody ; and if Out danger exists , you wBl not find me in the rear rank . Tbt Queen will be able to restore our Parliament to « us . The absentee drains , which caused the impoverishment cf the country , will be at an end ; the wholesale ejectment of tefianta , and turning them out on the high-way ; the murdering of tenants by the landlords shall be at an end—cloud cheers ) . The rights
of the landlords will be respected , bnt their duties Bh&ll be eiiforcfcd f an eqiiable tenure will take the place of the cruel tyranny of the present c » -de of laws , and the protection of the occupying tenses of Irebnd be insribed on the banner of Repeal—( cheers ) . Garry home with yon , my advice—let there be peace and quiet , law and order , and let every one of yon enrol yourselves Repealers—Jcries of " We will * - )—men , women , and children ( yea , men , women , and children ) . Give me three " millions of . Repealers , and I wjll soon have them —Uhfcfcrs ) . The ntxt step is being taken , and I anronpce to you from this spot , that all the magistrates that have been deprived of the cummigsion of the peace ,
shall be appointed by the association to settle all the Kis-putes and differences in their neighbourhood —( hear ) . Keep out of the petty sessions ccuit , and go not to them on Monday next . We will submit a plan to chooEe persons to ba arbitrators to setHe the differences of the pfcopie without expence , and 1 call npon every man that wishes to be thought the friend of Ireland , to have his disputes settled by the arbitrators , and not again go to the petty sessions . We shall shortly have the preser--rative Bodety to arrange tie means of procuring from her Majesty the exercise of her prerogative , and I believe I am able to announce to you that twelve months cannot possib ) y elapse without having a hurrah for our parliament in College-green . _ __ :

To the Editor of ihe Pilot . Sra , —It is probable that yon will uotiee the statement in the Morning Chronicle of Thursday , that a " * Scotch gentleman' at Tara , who -was there Ior the special propose of estimating the numbers , gave to the reporter his opinion that there were 500 , 000 assembled . As 1 am the person referred to , and as the numbsr stated is far L-elow the truth , I think it right to inform you , that I went ronnd and round , through and through * the meeting at eleven o ' clock , two hours and a-ha-lf bifore Mr . O'Conneli ' a arrival , I estimated the number then pn-EHit to be 500 , 000 . It was of this I spoke to

the reporter . When Mr . O * Cbnnell cime I went once more round Tara , and continued for more than an hour cuuutiag various groups , measuring the grcund they occupied , and by the result applying to other portions of the meeting not counted , tried to come to a correct estima'e , that there were on and near the hill upwards of one million , probably not less than twelve hundred thousand people J I am as foliy convinced of this as that there -was a multitude there at oil . Taking into account the hundreds of thousands on the roads , who never reached Tara , there were above one million and a half of
people out on that day , fojr the special purpose 0 / be > nj » at the meeting . In my account to the Morning Chronicle I have stated my opinion of the numbers ; and I have said , what I may here repeat , that the meeting on Tara was to me , as it must have been to every one whose souls were not BenseleBS and dead to feeling , ths most awfully grand and solemn scene that the human eye ever witnessed . It was a scene to make Irishmen proud , though they might grieve for the causes that brought them together . It was a scene to make strangers regret that they were not Irishmen .

At the Liverpool Assizes an old woman , whoso evidence was required in a bigamy case , refused to be sworn .

Playing with Edged Tools . —A private in the 1 st regiment of life Guards , named Shieldpjstationed st Windsor , was within a hair's breath of losing his lifa on Friday last , in consequence of a practical j » ke being played off upon him by one of his oomradee , named Bennett . It appears that Shields laid a trifling wager with Bennett that the latter could not shave him without drawing blood . The operation ,
however , having ; beon skilfully performed , Bennett remarked , "Oh ,, I've left a little bit of hair under your chinfand now I'll give you the finishing stroke . " He then , by way of a j . iko , drew , as he imagined , the back of the razor across the other's throat , when the blood spirted forth in a stream , to the great terror and alarm of the operator , Bennett haritig most clumsily mistaken the blade for the back of the razor . The wound thus inflicted waa nearly three inches in length , aud extending to ; the depth of within the sixteenth of an inuh of tbe windpipe . Several of the arteries were divided , and the effusion of blood was immense . Mr . Campbell , the surgeon of th 8 regiment , who was fortunately immediately in attendance , sewed up the wound , and the poor fellow , who has thus experienced so providential an esnapp , is now in the hospital , and out of danger . It will be pome weeks before he will be fit to resume his military duties .
Dreadful and Fatal Railway Accident . — On Suuaay afternoon a man , named William Deacon , aged twenty-five years , expired in Gay ' s Hospital from the effects of the dreadful hi juries he had received under the following circumstances . It appears that on the . previous afternoon , about , half-past four o ' clock , the : unfon mute man was at work on the joint lines of tho Greenwich , Dover , Croyden , and Brighton Railways , situate near tho Neckinger Spa road , Bermondsey , when the usual signal was given of an approaching down train , ' in order that those at work should timely got out of tho way . The deceased upon hearing it moved from off tHe lir . e , but is what was termed a sluggish manner , when just at tbe moment another train towards London approached , and from the slowness of his motions , the latter was close upon him before ho could get off the line on which it was running , and the step of the
engine struck him , and he was knocked down . The ; engineer , upon setiDg the occurrence , stopped the engine as speedily as possible and returned to his aBoisUuce , wiu-n it was found that his body had been nearly severed in two , aud that his bowels were protruding upon tho ' ground . He wasplnced in one of inn Tailway cirri&ges and conveyed to the terminus at London-bridge , and from thence to the above hospital . Mr . Aston Key , Mr . Cuck , arid Mr . Thompson , the surgeons , were promptly in attendance ou the unfortunate man ; and on examination it was fouud that the hipbor . o bad been completely severed , and the abdominal viscera nearly torn out . Every attention was paid to him that surgical skill could devise , but the injuries were of such a nature as to preclude all hope of his surviving beyond a few hours , and he lingered in the greatest agony until death put a period to his sufferings . :
Dreadful Death of Mb . Atmeb , the celebrated American Vaultkr . —This unfortunate man , whose recent performance at the English Opera , under the ma : tagemoiit of Van Amburgh , excited bo much admiration in hi 3 peculiar department , met his death on Thursday nijiht at the Circus of Mr . Batty , proprietor of tho Roy aJ Amphitheatre , who h& 3 several' various establishments in various parts of the kiiig-iom , and one in the Island of Jersey , where the laio performer was fulfilling his engagement . Tlie particular performance for which
Mr . Aymer was announced concluded with a < ouble summerset , a feat considered almost' ( if not quite ) impossible , and in throwing it the ill-fated artist , instead of alighting on his feet , f . 11 on his neck , and death was the immediate result . Mr . Batty , on hearing the fatal intelligence immediately quitted London for Jersey , to render every assistance that his liberality can effect ou the melancholy occasion . Smith , a great trampolim and vaulter , met his death in a manner precisely similar dur-ng the management of Messrs . Ducrow and West , at Astley ' s , some seasons back .
Fatal Accident—On Saturday night , between nine and ten o ' clock , another experimaut with Robinson'a night signal for shipping , was made from a s-kiff on the river off the St . Katherine ' s-dock , which , we regret to state * was attended with the Iojs of one lite , aud several others had a most miraculous escape . It appears thai during the experimental trials , fomo of the combustible materials of which the signal is made , aud which were lying in the skiff , aoitit nta'ly got ignited * and insrautly ilie skiff was in a btaz * . The pariies in it , to save ihtiiisolvi 3 from ih « ilimes , leaped ovtrboard into the water , and were , ( with one exception , that of a young lad , living at ihe wtat end of the metropolis , but whos : namu we hjve not boablo to ascertaiu ) with great difficulty savtd from frowning . The hkiff , which beloug-ed to a waterman named M'Nie ] , was nlo : o ; u wholly d' stroyed . Toe body of the lad who perished has not \ ct been found .
The Blood . —To a person who has at all studied the organization of the human eys ' . em , the circulation of the blood Will necessarily appear one of its most interesting and essential principles . When we nflect , for an instant , on the astonishing manner in whioh this crimson current shoots from the main spring of tho heart ; ' when we conbider it cour ^ in ^ rapidly through its various obannels , and branching out into a thousand different directions and complicated windings , for the nourishment of the frame ; we cannot . avo d being moved by an involuntary thrill of astonishment : — " And we exclaim , while wo survey the plan , — How wonderful this principle iu man . "
What the sap is to tM tree , the blood is to the animal frame ; and inasmuch as ihe strength aud verdure of a tree are dependant upon the moisture derived from the root , the health and vigour of the body are indispensably connected with a pure and free circulation of this important fluid . It is this , that , muHtfi-ed the flame ol existence : ; and irnlets its replenishments are freely and purely canmmnicated , tho vnal fire becomes clouded , ~ burns eliinJy—and ultimately is cxtinKuisbed . ln this light , aud in this "light alope , did the venerable Irarr . ( the messenger of heaith and lorgevity , ) regard "; the important cffio&of this essential fluid ; and this , as a consequence lee him to attend in an especial degree to the best- means for its constant freedom and purity . Nature , it i » said , has furnished a remedv for every ill : and . certainly , in
the useful researches of Old Parr , this sentiment ib strikingly borne ont . By a close , careful , and assiduous investigation of the properties of certain herbal productions , this lbng-livea and celebrated man , discovered that which would answer every purpose of purity and activity in the blood ; and , as a natural consequence , every purpose of a healthful , and prolonged existence . Had the life of Parr extended only to the ordinary limits of mankind , then , indeed , there might have been eome reason for questioning the pretended virtues of his medicine ; but when we find that the days : of this self practitioner were such as to call forth mention in -historical records , what are wejTSg' reasonable beings , to do but acquiescein the belief of the essential and infalliable benefit derivable from that invaluable discovery , now so well known as Parr ' e Life Pills .
