POETRY. A BALLAD OF NANTUCKET. BY T. B. ALDHICH. "Where go you, pretty Maggie, Where go you in the rain?" "J go to ask the sailors Who sailed the Spanish main, "If they have seen my Willie, If he'll come back to me— Tis sad] to have my darling A sailing on the sea!" O, Maggie, pretty Maggie, Turn back to yonder town, Your Willie's in the ocean, An hundred fathoms down! His hair has turned to sea-pelt, His eyes have changed to stones, And twice two years have knitted The coral round his bones. The blossoms and the clover Shall bloom and bloom again, But never shall your lover Come o'er the Spanish main. But xMaggie never heeded, And mournfully said she: "Tis sad to have my darling A sailing on the sea!" She left me in the darkness; I heard the sea gull 's screech, And burly winds were growling With breakers on the beach. The blythe bells of Nantucket, What touching things they said, When Maggie lay a sleeping With lillies round her head!" The parson preached a sermon, And prayed and preached again— But Maggie's gone to Willie Across theSjianish main!" Bloody Murrain- I have lately seen it stated in the papers that t his fatal disease had appeared among western Cattle; another writer pronounces the disease in curable. In the absence of proper books setting forth Ihe western diseases of cattle, I have thought it a public service to say something to the readers of the Recordon this subject. Bloody Murrain—Causes.—Many persons think this disease infectious; no doubt the blootiy dis charges in a herd of cattle intensify the predispo sing causes, but nothing more : and for thai rea son the diseased animal should at once be re moved from its fellows. I believe the disease to be caused by malaria. It generally appears in excessively wet paslure, and where cattle have j been fed a long time in a shott space of surface, | fouling the soil. Symptoms. —Yellowish water infused in the j ordinary white coats of the eyeballs, and exhibi- j ted in the urine, drooping, and'great inactivity; I loss of appetite, and especially if thediseased animals stand apart, and become solitary for some days before the disease fatally exhibits it self ; then follow bloody discharges from the 1)0 wels ; and sometimes the urinary vessels, as death approaches. Preventives. —Keep always, in tight troughs, salt sprinkled on ashes, accessible to the cattle. This is almost a sure preventive ; occasionally, however, as cattle get very fat, remove them to new standing places. Cure. —As soon as the animal shows an}' of the above symptoms, remove him at once from the herd ; mix common slacked lime as if for whitewash, and give a full grown bullock from three to four pints of it at once : if this does not cure, the case is hopeless: so far as my experi ence go?s. The lime acts not only as a power ful purgative, but in some other unknown way, os oilier purgatives fail to have any ethcient result. 1 need hardly say that the sooner the i drench is given after the disease shows itself the better—as after the bloody discharge from the bowels begins, it is rarely curable.— Ohio Farmer. HUMBOLDT- The aged and illustiious Baron Von Humboldt now in his 90th year, but still fresh in inlellec-; tuai and conversational powers, attended a ball given in Berlin on the 20th of January in honor of the royal wedding. The Baron allows neither his advanced age nor his great acquirements, and world-wide fame to entitle liiin to an)' dispensation from the minutest and most scrupulous attention to etiquette and cos tume, and willingly condescends on occasions like the one in question, to assume his cham berlain's costume, and his numerous orders, with all the careful attention to exterior befitt ing the most youthful and modest aspirant to Court favor. His health, however, gives fre quent occasions of uneasiness to his friends ar.d admirers, though he rallies from each attack with most surprising rapidity. NEW FALL GOODS.

LIN SKY'S GREAT MEDICAL DISCOVERY! Which is a purely vegetable Preparation, for the pu rifying ofblood, givir.g vigor to the Liver, stomach and bowels, and expelling fronr. the system all mor bid matter, and substituting in its stead a healthful activity through all the functions of life. HOW IT YVA.S DISCOVERED! In the fall of 1851 a daughter of Mr. I.indsey was suffering from a malignant attack ofCancrum Oris (Canker of the mouth.) She hail previously been prostrated by the attacks of Dysentary, inhumation of the lungs and Hectic Fever, successively, which resulted in the above named disease in its worst form, ller condition was most deplorable—her mouth and cheek were literally rotten—the attending phy sician pronounced the case a hopeless one. Every thing indicated a speedy and horrible death—the death of rotting out of life ! At this critical junc ture Mr. Lindsev prepared a compound for the pur pose of alleviating, possible, the pains of the little sufferer. She was made to use it freely, and in a short time to his roo-t delightful astonishment, there was a very perceptible change for the better. The rnouth began to put on a bright and healthy appear ance— the foul breath became sweet—the appetite was restored, and the child seemed to partake of a new and fresh life. Hope was inspired, and the use of the compound was faithfully continued, the result of which, with the blessing of God, was her complete restoration.— She is now perfectly healthy! From this circum stance, Mr. Luidsey was led to prepare with greater care and exactness, what had so astonishingly cured his child, and continued his experimental efforts un til he succeeded in bringing to perfection his Great Remedy for Blood Impurity —since which time its effects have been almost miraculous. Hundreds upon hundreds, by it, have been snatched from an untimely grave and restored to the sweets of health and the endearment of friends, The young and old have tested it. saving powers and sing aloud its vir tues. Say they—"after using Lindsey's imptoved Blood Searcher, we felt as if a new life was stirring our veins, and under God we owe to it more than words can express."' But hear from their own lips and then judge of its valuable effects. . The few testimonials that follow show that it is deservedly styled the Greatest Discov ery (f this or any other age. J. M. LINDSF.Y. Hollidaysburg, Blair county, Fa. CERTIFICATES! Pattonsville, Bedfoid co., Fa., Oct. 1), '57. Mr. J. M. LiNDstY. Dear Sir:—l was severely alllicted with rheuma tism for a whole year—nine months of which time I was not able to leave my bed—when hearing of the wonderful effects of your Imptoved Blood Searcher, 1 determined to procure some it and give it a fair tri al. After using three bottles I was able to walk a lOnnd again as usual, and am now wholly cured. I car: recommend it to all who are similarly alllicted, and believe it is all it claims to be. Yours, truly, JOHN SHAFFER. .1 DESPERATE C.'ISE OF TETTER and BARBER'S ITCH, cured by the use of Lindsey's i'■ <•■! Searcher. 1, the undersigned, sometime in .M trch was severely afflicted with what was pro j.o>;.;o-d by my physicians to be a certain kind ofTet l> 1 and Barber's Itch. My condition was one of the greatest ir::>er3-; my face was almost constantly run ning with the foul corruption that escaped from the tubercles, by which it was almost completely cover ed. After being under the,care of my physicians lor near two month-, without the least benefit, 1 was in duced to make a trial of Lindsey's Blood Searcher, and the result was that in u-jng one bottle and a half I found a perfect cure, I tiuy also -ay that! eagerly tried whatever was recommended as a cure.— Such was my wietcbedne-.- that 1 even resorted to the dangerous experiment ot pouring pure Creosote on my lace and nerk, but all to 110 purpose—the Blood Searcher was the lir.-t and onlv thing that did me any good. As a blood purifier it is unequalled; & I have great reason to be grateful that I ever made a trial of its healing virtues, audi confidently recom mend it to any who may sutler trom 'letter, or any other disease arising troin nn impure state of the blood. " JOHN DELEHUNT. lioHidaysburg, Pa., July 29 1557. JX LYTERESTLYG CJSE OF SCROFU LA cured by one bottle of Lindsey's Blood Searcher. —This certifies that about one year ago our little son aged four years, was. most sorely alilicted with what the physicians pronounced to be a -crofula, and was treated accordingly for nearly a year, but without the slightest benefit. His eyes were running a thin mattery hurnor almost constantly; which would encrust his eyes beyond the power of opening them until they were washed and cleaned by soap and wa ter. About the same time an abscess formed just below the groin, which in due time broke and com menced a discharge, which was found impossible to dry up or heal—the bed would be very much stained and the clothing of the child perfectly sickening in a single nights tune. Alter having the attentions of a physician lor so long a time, and finding the child to begetting worse, we determined to try the effects of Mr. Lindsey's Blood Searcher. This was in last March—and before two weeks had passed away the change was manifest-, and I am happy to say that in the use ot a SINGLE HOPPLE our little boy has been perfectly restored to health. W'e cannot speak too highly of this invaluable medicine. It should be in every family—none should be without it. Asa pu rifier of blood it is beyond all price ! DANIEL BOLLINGER. Hollidaysburg, Pa., July 20, 1857. Hollidaysburg, Pa. March 19th, 1857. Da. J. M. Linpsey,— L'car Sir: I have been using your Improved Blood Searcher since some time last summer, and I deem it to be a mattei of duty to bear my testimony to its invigorating blood restorative virtues. 1 have been tor a number ot* years severe ly troubled ery*i}telas and general debility, but since I put myself under the influence of your Improved Blood Searcher, 1 find a very decided improvement, Indeed, my acquaintances frequently remark, that 1 look so "fat and hearty;" and I know of no other cause than the use of your Improved Blood Searcher. Judging from my own experience, I believe that this isoneof the most valuable medicines that woman can use, especially those who are or have entered upon the decline of life (from -10 to 50 years ofage). I feel that it would have been above ingratitude on my my part to have withheld this testimony, and in thus consenting to appear as a witness before the public. I have been actuated solely with reference to the voice of conscience and duty. You are at liberty to make whatever use you may deem pro per of this statement. Yours, respectfully, MARGARET W. O'DONNELL. IJVER COMPLAINT CURED BY LinJ sey's Improved Blood-Searcher.— Blair County, ss.

My appetite was completely gone, and when, in order to preserve life, 1 would force myself to swallow * mouthful of food, the stomach would immediately loath it, and cast it forth with the spittle. J h a j aio been suffering with the ague; each attack lasting about nine mouths out of the twelve, so that, w,th the ague and dyspepsia, 1 was reduced as I thought beyond recovery; I thought 1 must die, my physician could do me no good. Such was my condition, when Mr. Lindsey supplied me with a bottle of h> ? s im proved blood-searcher, assuring me it would work a cure, i commenced its use hut with little confidence but, in one week's time—so great was its restoial tive powers—J found my appetite to return, my stomach received a new tone, so that I could eat anything without the slightest inconvenience and before its healing touch the ague tied as from • charm ; nor have i been troubled with ague or dvi pepsia since. 1 enjoy a better stale of health than 1 had done for fifteen years' before; I am strori* and hearty, and I feel confident that, under the bier sing of God, 1 owe all to the invaluable Improved Blood- Searcher. 1 believe it not to be only a sure reefed* for ague, hut an infallible preventive , and, as such *| would recommend it to all whose business, halits of resiliences, expose them to this dreadful pest of hu mamty. Dyspepsia cannot stay where the Improv ed Blood-Searcher is properly used. 1 feel it my dm ty to point all who sutler, to this a!f-fcealinr medi cine. (signed.)
