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.

(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.

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.

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 !

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.

diseases—dyspepsia, and that in its worst form. My
appetite was completely gone, and when, in order to

mouthful of food, the stomach would immediately
loath it, and cast it forth with the spittle. J h a j

beyond recovery; I thought 1 must die, my physician
could do me no good. Such was my condition, when

cure, i commenced its use hut with little confidence
but, in one week's time—so great was its restoial

stomach received a new tone, so that I could eat
anything without the slightest inconvenience and
