Alas! they'r turned all upside down, that quiet suite Of reams, With slops, and suds, and soap, and sand, and tubs and pails, and brooms ; Chairs, tables, stands are standing round at sixes, and at sevens, While Win) and housemaid fly about like meteors in the heavens; The parlor and the chamber floor were cleaned a, week ago, The carpets shook and window.: washed, as all the neighbors know ; But still the sanctum had escaped—the table piled with books, Pens, ink. mfd paper all about, peace in its very looks— Till tell the women on them all,as fails the plague on men, And then they vanished all away—books.papers,ink and pen. And now when conies the master home, as come he must of nights, To find :Al things are "set to wrongs" that they have "set to rights!" When the sound of driving tacks is heard, though the house is far from still, And the carpet woman on the stairs, that harbinger of M— lle looks for papers, books or bills, that all were there before, And sighs to find them on the desk or in the drawer ne more. And then he g, imly thinks of hor who set this fuss ' afloat, And wishes she was out at sea in a very leaky boat; lie meets her at the parlor door, with hair and cap awry, With sleeves tucked up and broom in hanchdellaneo in her eye; lie feels quite small, and knows full well there's, nothing to be said, So holds his tongue, and drink, his tea, and sneaks au ay to bed. 7.30 A.

Earrou :—ln my last communi cation, I endeavored to show that alco holic stimulants possessed no qualities that rendered them preventatives of con sumption, beyond that possessed by other poisonous drugs, such as Indian hemp, Prussic acid and fusil oil. I also endeav ored to show that their application as a medicine during its incipient and forma- tive of consumption stages and after the disease was fully developed, depended upon such special icdications as rendered their indiscriminate use hazardous. The correctness of the views expressed re evident from the nature and origin of 7IMINff=MMEIMIEEM by some one that "2onsumption was a wise provision in nature to prevent the deterioration of the race,inasmuch as it was an exterminator of persons possessing a low vitality,aud feeble and depraved con stitution." Be that as it may, it is an acknowledged fact that consumption in a majority of cases, is the result of an in herited tendency from a diseas3d and enfeebled parentage. The most general land active CaUS3S that have operated to transmit to children consumptive con stitutions, have been the existence of the disease in the parents and the enfeebling effects of intemperate habits. No fact is better established than that the children of intemperate parents are weak in mind and sickly in body. Visit our schools for idiotic and feeble minded children, and it will be found that one-half arc the children of intemperate parents. It is in vain to look for the progress of the human race,physically andmen tally, while so many indulge intthc indiscriminate use of intoxicating liquors and other nar cotic drugs to feed an artificial and de praved appetite. The false notions re specting the curative and preventative effects of alcoholic stimulants, as a rem edy in consumption, which prevails in the community are developing the dis ease in vastly more cases then are bend fitted by it. Itis often said that physi cians use and prescribe it as a preventive of the much dreaded disease. I admit that physicians prescribe stimulants, and very properly too. I admit that stimu lants are medicines of incalculable value, but in no proper sense are they preven tives. I have given a good deal attention to the cause, progress and developenaent of veetrg.

When recommended at all, it is for some special and peculiar purpose, to correct, change or 'modify morbid and diseased action. All the medical men, whose standing and authority are recognized among the profession at large, are agreed that con sumption is a disease depending upon the debilitated condition of the system, in which the waste of the tissues exceeds the repair. Alcohol furnishes no material for the growth or repair of the tissues, and consequently whenever it is taken as a substitute for food it must necessarily do harm. If stimulants enable a con sumptive to cat and digest more food than he otherwise would, it is indicated as a medicine ; but it is notorious that habitual spirit drinkers are usually irreg ular iu eating and taking less food. If a person who has a tendency to consump- . tion from a transmitteut taint, or any other cause, can maintain a vigorous di gestion, and can assimilate a sufficiency of animal and oleagenous food, take ac tive exercise, breathe pure air, maintain a cheerful, hopeful and happy frame of mind, he may regard himself vastly more safe than the spirit drinker with out any such tendency. I am no fanatic in regard to this matter ; all I contend for is to place alcohol where it rightfully belongs,.among useful and indispensable poisonous medicines, and like them to be used with care and caution. Thus far in the discussion of this subject, I scrupulously restricted myself to well es tablished and demonstrated facts and principles. I have also proceeded upon the supposition that all spirituous liquors arc exceptions. The great mass of liquors in the market are an abominable compound unfit for medicine or beverage. By consulting Annual Scientific Dis covery for 1859; page 240, Article, Chemical Science,—you will find this matter of compounding liquors explained. A mixture of six ounces of Cognac am ber oil, oil of bitter almond, (Prussic acid ; ) etherial oil of wine, more or less caramel put into one hundred and sev enty-five gallons of spirits, will produce the finest varieties of pale cr dark bran dy. Six ounces of green oil of cognac, with etherial oil of bitter almond, and tannin,converts one hundred and fifty gallon of natural spirits into brandy. A tbw pounds of elder flowers give it mel- , lowness and the tannin imparts rough- ness and age Manufactured gin is made as follow : A mixture of oils, of juniper berry and angelica seeds in equal proportions, together with rum ; ether, oil of lemon, °Amnon salt, and simple syrup is added to spirits of proper proof neutralized by means of spirits of nitre. Sometimes oil of caraway seed and fennel seed, with peach ether, are added to the above, to create an "Aromatic Gin," or give rich ness, smoothness and creaminess to the liquors. "Creosote is used to give to gin a cer tain degree of smokiness ; caustic potash is added to make it strong and biting on the palate." I might go on and give the ingredi ents, equally poisonous, of numerous other compounds that are sold under the assumed names of whisky, rum,beer and wine of various names, but enough has been given to convey a tolerably accu rate idea of the whole. Whisky, which just now has a great reputation for purity contains a large per centage of obnoxious drugs among which are fusil oil, a nar cotic poison,but a useful medicine Fusil oil is the medicinal principal in whisky, which renders it valuable as a medicine in consumptiou,by imparting to it sooth ing and narcotic properties. A medicine not unfrequently needed by patients liar rassed with severe cough. It is a fact should not be overlooked, that in whisky producing countries a disease very fatal, called whisky consumptions and caused by drinking whisky, extensively prevails. This fact alone is sufficient to divest it of all claims as a prevention of that dread ful disease. From the facts that have been deduced in this and previous com munications, we may safely infer that alcohol, Ist, Is not needed in the healthy hu man system. 2nd, That it is a narcotic poison, oper ating first upon the brain and secondly upon the stomach, liver, lungs and other organs. 3rd, That it enters into the formatitn of none of the tissues.

The Middletown Mercury of last week reports that there have been quite number of persons, hundreds perhaps, in the town of Wallkill, Crawford, .11amp tonburgh, Goshen and Wawayanda, at tacked with a new and singular form of sickness. In some cases whole families have been taken down with it; in others only one or two members of a family were attacked. Sometimes the disease has assumed a violent type and has pro duced death, again it has taken a milder form and the patients have recovered.— Many persons are now sick with it. The symptoms, as described to us by the physicians, are severe pains in the stomach,iuilanuation of the epigastrium, vomiting, and extreme cases, paralysis of the limbs, and spasms. The symptom r s are almost identical with those of what is commonly called " lead colic," or lead poison . Certain circumstances have led some of the physicians who have been testing these cases, to suspect that their patients were poisoned by the use of unwholesome flour. Common report, whether right fully or wrongfully we cannot say, indi cate a certain mill in that neighborhood, as the place where the unwholesome flour was obtained. We have since learned that Mr. Thomas Marsh, miller at Philipsburgh, having procured a new stone for his milling purposes, found in it some flaws or seams,which he unwittingly filled with lead; that in grinding, portions of the lead had worn off and become mixed with flour, thus rendering it deleterious, and causing considerable sickness among those using it This circumstance should be carefully remembered by millers elsewhere, that a like event may not happen; for those whose business it is to prepare the mate rials for the most important part of our diet, and that which effects the health the most,cannot be too carefully guarded from impurities and deleterious matter. A CITANGE or BASE.—The Boston Gazette's "Old Apple Mau" writes : have thought somewhat of changing my base of operations and going into the Fenian bond business, there is such a splendid field open for making money.— There can be no doubt, I think, in the mind of any intelligent man, of the sue cess of the Fenian movement. The only obstacle in the way is England, a mere bagatelle, that au iron-clad or two can blow out of the water.—This must be evident at a glance, and the investment in bonds will soon bring about this very desirable result. Doubtless the wholo of Europe, excepting the Pope, will join in this niovement,and the United States, it is well known, stands ready to help by investing its surplus debt in some binkiog fund, than which none better is known than this. However, in hope of better times, I shall defer decision until the first successful battle, and then put up the coupons; and speaking of coupons, it reminds me of a boast of my friend Sleet•, who is an inventor of wearing apparel made of paper. He tells me lie has in vented a paper shirt, with coupons at tached, an expedient that will undoubt edly be a success. A FUN ERA L IN MEN TCO.-At the funeral of a child in Acapulco, the body was dressed magnificently, crowned with roses, and the table upon which it was laid was covered with flowers. The table was carried through the streets, with the child on it; three or four men and boys walked in front, firing rockets, and the military band followed,playing the gayest • Regarding the death of children to merely their translation to an angelic existence, such an event among these people is an occasion of rejoicing rather than mourning.
