ble for the restoration of health. To be able to state
ronfidently that Consumption is curable by Inhalation,
Is to me a source of unalloyed pleasure. It is as much
'under the control of medical treatment tis any other
'formidable disease ; ninety out of every hundred cases
can be cured in the first stages, and fifty per cent. in the
second; but In the third stage it is imposaible to save
'more than five per cent., for the lunge are so cut up by

'the suffering attending this fearful scourge, which an

of the present population of the earth, eighty millions
`are destined to fill the Consumptive's grave.

Blood, and the immediate effect, produced by their depo
sition In the lungs, is to prevent the free admission of
air into the air cells, which causes a weakened vitality
through the entire system. Then, surely, it is morn ra
tional to expect greater good from medicines entering
the cavities of the lungs ' than from those administered
through the stomach ; the patient will always find the
lungs free and the breathing easy, after inhaling rune
dies, True, inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless,
it acts constitutionally, and with more power and cer
tainty than remedies administered by the stomech. To
prove the powerful and direct influence of this mode of
administration, chloroform inhaled will destroy sensibil

The Sub elation of ammonia will rouse the system when

'medicines is perceptible In the skin, a few moments af
ter being inhaled, awl may be immediately detected in
the blood. A convincing proof of the constitutional ef
fects of inhalation, is the fact that sickness is always pro
duced by breathing foul air. Is not this positive evi
dence that proper remedies, carefully prepared and j utli•
d ow d y administered through the lungs, should produce
the most happy results During eighteen yeera' prac

You tell nio of the Wevior's lovis mother—
I fool it in my heart;
But, oh, from this beautiful world, mother,
The soul is fain to stay—
For the grare is dark and dpep, mother,
And heaven seems far away.
Then bury me in the morning, mother,
And lot me have the light,

Let me hold the pledge of thy love, mother,

For death is thp gate of light, mother,

treated as a son. 'He was a good fellow if ho was
rough, for he had the goodness that all who came
within her influence must have. •
"I kayo seen her look the devil out of him of
ten. I remember once when the horses behaved
in a way not to suit him, and he had to let au
oath or two escape his lips preparatory to putting
on the whip. We were riding together down the
avenue,.and he raised the lash. At the moment
ho caught her eye. She was-walking up from the
lodge, where she had been to see a sick child.—
She saw the raised whip, and her eye caught his.
He did not strike. The horses escaped for that
time. He drove them quietly through the gate,
and three miles and back without a word of an
ger.
"Did I tell you I was her cousin also? On her
mother's side. Not on the General's. We lived
not far off, and I lived 'much of my time at his
house. Tom and myself had been inseparable,
and we did not conceal our rivalry from each
other.
"Tom," said. I, one Morning, "why can't you
ho content with half the Goneral's fortune, and let

"Bah ! Jerry," said' he, "as if that would be any

"Just what I was going to propose to you. Be
reasonable now, Jerry, and get out of the way.—
You must see she dosen't care a poppy for you."

"I rode by her side, and looked up at her occa
sionally, and thought she was looking splendidly.
I had never seen her more so. Every attitude was
grace, over look was life and spirit."
"Tom clung efo‘66 to her. One would have
thought he'was watehing the very opportunity I
was after myself. Now he rode a few paces for
ward, and as I was catching my breath to say
Sarah, he would rein up and fallback to his place,
and I would make some flat remark that made me
seem like a fool to myself, if not to her.
"What is the matter with you, Jerry," said she,
at length.
"Jerry's in love," said - Tom.
"I could have thrashed him on the spot."'
"In love Jerry in love !" and she turned her
large brown eyes towards me. . •
"In vain I sought toTathom them, and arrive
at some eenclution, whether or no the subject in•

"The naiieta of the question, the correctness of

and I could not repress a smile that grew into a
broad laugh.
"Tom joined in it, and we made the woods ring
with our merriment!'
"I say, Toni, isn't that your whip lying back
yonder in the road ?"
"Confound it, yes; the cord hits broken lion: ray
lyrist," and he rode back for it.
"Jerry who does Tom lever' said she quickly,
turning. to me.
"You," said I, bluntly,
"Why, of course; but who is he inlove with I
mean ?'
"It was a curious way to get at it. Could Ibe
justified ? It was not asked what I had intended
but it was getting it it in another way, and just
as well, perhaps. It was, at all events, asking
Torn's question for.hirn, and it saVed, me the em
barrassment of putting it as a;ty own. I determin
ed this instant.
"Sarah, could you love Tom well enough to
marry him?"
"I! Jerry; what do you mean?"
"Suppose Tom wants you to be his wife, will
you marry him?"
"I don't, know..—can't never thought of
such a thing. YOwdon't think he has anysuch
idea, do you.,"
"That was my answer. It was enough as far
as it went, but I was no better off than before.—
She did not love - Tom, or she would never have
answered thus. - .lint - did' she tale me? Would ,
net she receive.the Idea: in just,the, same way? • ,
"I looked back. Tom was on the ground—had
picked up his whip, and had one foot in the stir
rup ready to mount:ligain. I gulped down my
heart that was up in my throat, and spoke out.
• "Sarah, will you marry me ?"
"Philip,
.she turned her eyes again toward me
—those largo brown eyes, those holy eyes—and
blessed me with there unutterably glorious gaze.
To my dying hou,r, I shall not fOrget that gaze; to
all eternity it will remain in my soul. She look

row, surprise or love, I cannot tell you, l. that filled
them and over owed towards mo froraout their
itnmeasurable depths ; but Philip, it was the last
light of those eyes I never saw—the last.
"Is there anything left in that bowl? Thank
you. Just a 'glassful. You will not take any?
Then, by your leave, I will finish it.. My story
is nearly ended, and I will not keep you up much
longer.
"We had not noticed, so absorbed had we boon
in our pleasant talk, that a black cloud had risen
in the west and obscured the sun, and covered the
sky.; and even the sultry air Woof, called our at
tention to the coming thunder storm
"As she looked at rue, even as she fixedhcf 'eyoi
on'in'ino, a flash, blinding and fierce, fell ou the
top of a tree by the roadside, not fifty yards from
us, and the crash of thunder Shook the founda
tions of the hills.
"Fur a moment all was dazzling, burning, blaz
ing light; then sight was gone and a momentary
darkness settled on oureyes, Therkorsevrouch
ed to the ground in terror, and Sarah tkimi3a her
head i as if in presence of God.
"All this was the work of an instant, and the
next Tom's horse sprang by us on a furious gal
lop, dragging Tom by the stirrup. Ile had been
in the act of mounting when the flash came, and
his horse swerved and jumped so that his foot
caught, and ho dragged with his head on the
ground.
"There was a point in the road about fifty yards'
where it divided in two. The ono was the car
riage track, which wound down the Mountain by
easy descents; the other was a foot-path, which
was a short, precipitous cut to a point on the car
riage road nearly a quarter of a mile below.
"Calling to Sarah to keep back and wait, I
drove the spurs into my horse and went down the
steep path. Looking back, I saw her following,
her horse making. tremendous speed. She kept
the carriage road, following on after Tom; and I
.pressed on, thinking to intercept his horse be
low.
"My : mi.& was terrible. I Could hear then' thun
dering down the track above. I looked up and
caught sight of them through trees. I looked
down and saw a gully before me full eighteen feet
wide, and as many deep.
great horse was that 'black horse Cmear,and
he took the gully at a flying leap that landed us
far over it, and a moment latei, I was at a point
where the
. roads -again met, but only in time to
see the other two horses go by at a furious pare,
Sarah's abreast of the gray, and she reaching
her hand out brairely, trying to grasp the flying
rein, as hei'horse went leap for leap with him.
To ride close behind them was worse than use
less in such a case. It would serve a te
,increase
their speed; so I fell back a dozen roils and fol
lowed, watching the end.
"At the foot of the mountain ti& river ran
broaki and deep spanned by the bridge at the nar
rowest point. To reach the bridge, the road took
a short turn up stream directly on the bank.
"On swept the gray, and black horses, side by
side, down the hillside, not fifty leaps along the
level ground, and then came the turn.
"She was on the off-side. At the sharp turn
she pressed ahead a half length; and reined ber
horse across the grey's shoulder, if possible, to
turn him up toward the bridge.
"It was all over in an instant. The grey was
the heavier horse." Ile pressed her close ; the
black horse yielded—gave way toward the fence,
stumbled, and the fence, a light rail, broke with
a crash, and they went over, all together into the
deep, black stream.
"Still, the sound of that crash and plunge is in
my ears. Still I can see them go headlong down
the bank together - , into the deep, black water.
"I never knew exactly what I did then. When
I was conscious,liound myself swimming around
in a circle, diving occasionally to find them, but
in vain. The grey horse swam ashore. and stood
on the bank by my 'black, with distended nostrils
and trembling limbs, shaking from head to foot
with terror. The other black horse was floating
down the surface of the stream ? drowned. His
mistress was no where to be scan, and Tom was
gone also. .
"I found her 'at, last." -
"Restore her ? No ! AVance at her face show

THAT UNLIJC.K X NOSE.
George Frederickr Chilton, a very handsomely
dressed young gentleman, with auburn whiskers
and moustache of the same color, complained that
Simon Bolivar l'uddiman had pulled his nose in
the piazza of a fashionable hotel, where both of
these youngsters have fixed their abode. Cpiltun
the proprietor of the injured nose, is a very tall
person, and Rudoiman, the nose-puller, is a very
short one; so that it is difficult to coneieve how the
latter could perpetrate the.outrage without the
help of a stepladder, or some such convenience.—
The story told by Mr. Chilton, the sufferer, was so
extremely affecting that the whole auditory seem
edt• to melt at the i yecital. .
"Your Honor um:y observe (sail he) that my
nose has an unhealthy appearance; in fact, it is
much swollen and inflamed, and I have some rea
son to fear that it will be permanently diseased.
All thess "Maideasant effects, air, have been caused
by the violent conduct of my fellow-boarders.—
Nose-pulling appears to be a sorter mania, or mor
al epidemic, at our hbtel; every man who stops
there becames infected, as I should judge, with an
unconquerable desire, to execute the feat—and my
nose is constantly selected as the most suitable sub
ject for the experiment. I dare say, your Honor
would be puzzled were you to attempt to guess
how many times this nose had Imenpulled within
the last three months."
"It is impoesible for MO to make any such cal
culation, Mr. Chilton," said the magistrate.
"Of course, sir, yeu ean formno - idea of the in
credible number of times this act has been repeat
ed. I hesitate to mention the figure, for fear you
might find it difficult to 'believe, though . my ve
racity has never been impeached, and I am not , at
all given to boasting. lam pretty sure, howev
er, that no door-bell in our street has been tugged
oftener, during the autumn of 1857, than this un
fortunate feature."
"rWbatean you to provoke`so many assaults ?"
asked the magistrate.
"That is the strangest part of the business," an
swered Chilton. "I am always giving offencawith
out meaning; it—one of the boarders charges me
with winking at his Wife, or his sister, and pulls
my nose on that score; another tweaks my nose
because I do not pay proper attentions to his fe
male relations; a third.pulls, because I offer to
stand a treat; and a fourth, because I neglect to
make thasame offer; in short they are never at a
loss for one pretence or another. This gentleman,
(pointing to Ruddimany) ptilledmy nose because
I peeped over his head into a looking-glass at
which he was adjusting his shirt-c'ellar. His
head was so much below the level of my own that
I actually did'not observe him until I felt the
pressure of his Anger and thumb. Now, sir, (con
tinued Mr. Chilton,) if the law cannot protect my
nose, I shall have to enclose it in a case of dm
green or japaned tin, as a safe guard against -ill,

rough style in which they overdo the thing by con
stant repetition, is rather more; t ibi4, than
any man of honer and spirit can be eitucted to
