thought best to have me placed in Dr.
Kirkbride's hospital, 'West Philadelphia;
I remained there nine weeks, and thought
I was a little better, but in a few days my
dreadful complaint was raging as bad as
ever. Heating of the wonderful en res per
formed by Dr. - Wishard's Great American

that I have ever enjoyed a perfeetly well

my mind was continually filled with
gloomy thoughts and forebodings, and if
I attempted to change their current by
reading, at once a sensation of icy coldness

with which was the continual fear of losing,

made it difficult to walk by day or sleep
at night. I became averse to society, and
disposed only to seclusion, and having
tried the skill of a number of eminent
physicians of various schools, finally come
to the conclusion that, for this disease nt
my present age (45 years) there was no
cure in existence. But, through theinter

devoutly offer my thanks, I at last found
a. sovereign remedy in your Dyspepsia

Dn. \VirtuAnx—Sir:—lt is with much

of that most distressing complaint, Dys
pepsia. I had been greviously afflicted for
the last twenty-eight years, and f.r ten
years of that time have not been free from
its pain one week ut a time. I have had
it in its werst form and have dragged on a
most miserable existence—in imin day and
night. Every kind of food tilled mo with
wind and pain, it mattered not how light,
or how small the quantity. A continued
belching was sure to follow. I had no ap
petite for any kinds of meats whatever,
and my distress was so great for several
months before I heard of year Pills, that I
frequently wished for death. I had taken
everythlngthig I had heard or for Dyspep
sia, without M.eiving any benefit; but on
year Pills being recommended to the by
one who had been cured by them, I con
cluded to give them a trial, although I had
no faith in them. To my astonishment, I
found myself getting better before I had
taken one-fourth of a box, and,after taking
half a box, I" am is well man, rind eat

MUSIC
By JAMES S. WATKINS
A good ear for music, and a taste for
music, are two very different things
which are often confounded ; and so is
comprehending and enjoying every ob
ject of sense and enjoyment. Take my
self, for instance. I have a wholesome
taste for music, but cannot boast a good
ear for it. I would it were otherwise ;
would that I could write my name among
the able musicians of our band, so great
a passion have I for music; and yet I
' have never aspired higher than the per
formance on a jew's harp or an accor
deon.
Yon have hoard of the pipe- which
Pan first invented ? an instrument made
of reeds, to the music of which all the
nymphs were compelled to dance. Yon
will wonder when you hear the relation
which the poets give to this pipo,namely,
"as oft as Pan blows it the dugs of the
sheep are filled with milk :" for he is the
god of the shepherds and hunter?, the
captain of the nymphs, the president of
the mountains, and of a country life, and
the guardian of the flocks that graze up.
on the mountains;
—"Pan curat ores, ovinunque magi9tros."
.Paa loves Mc hepherdd arui theirftwkes helculs.
History teaches us that the nymph
echo fell in love with Pan,. and brought
him a daughter named - Iririges, who gave
Medea the medicines with which he
charmed Jason. He could not but please
Dryope, to gain whom, he'•laid aside - his•
divinity and became a shepherd. But
he did not court the nymph Syria with
so much success : for she ran away to
avoid her lover, till coining to a river
(where her flight was • stopped,) she
"prayed the Naiad; the nymphs of the
waters, because she could not escape her
pursuer, to chang her into a bundle of
reedsjust as Pan was laying hold of her,
who. therefore caught the reeds in his
hand, and folded them to his arms in
stead of her. The winds moving these
reeds backward and forward occasioned
mournful but musical sounds, which Pan
perceiving, he cut them down, and
made of them reeden pipes:
"lie sighs. his , ighs tns , ing reeds return
In soft, sum I notes, like see thnt seem'd to mourn
The new, I.ut pleasant notes the gods surprise,
Yvt this sha'l make us frientls last, he cries
S., he this pipe of roods nneval fram'd
With wax ; and nyr ns from hie mistress named.
Even from the period when one of the
terrestrial deities first invented the art of
music, it has appeared to us nothing
more than a regulated noise,for you must
agree, that without noise it cannot be
produced. All nations, civilized and half
civilized, where it is taught,use the same
characters for writing it, and under such
rules, it becomes a language more unciv
ilized than any other, which cannot be
spoken only through instrumental medi
ems. It is not clear or grammatical, as
well as a host of other errors, in its per
formance, which are,t.frpersons skilled in
the art, or profession, .asily perceptible
bads to the eye and
_Thajarsr,:tageocr,. • t ; can .0
more forcibly expresse. than any Other,
since there appears no limit to the nuin
her of voices or instruments employed,
while a speaker cannot discourse while
another is speaking beside him. The
Musiral language, I would suppose to be i
the most perfect of all languages, as its
fundamental laws do not allow various
constructions. Any piece of music, if
written well, can be read by all the na
tions of the eartli,consequently it never
needs translation. We use words to curse
our fellow man, but we cannot use music.
and this I ...elieve is the only purpose for
which we cannot use it. It gladdens the
heart with emotions of joy, and has a
charm in lulling the infant to sweet and
quiet repose. It braces the soldier, and
nerves him to deeds of valor, when about
to meet a desperate foe, and should he
fall it fills his eyes with heartfelt tears of
joy, to know he has one his duty, and
relieves his piercing pain It helps us
mourn, and sets in motion " the light
fantastic toe." We could not live witlr
out music, for with it, it makes even the
dismal swamp, a paradise.
" There are many chords which har
monize with the soul in its moment of
joy and of sorrow," which is verified by
the success of our song-birds in the dark
hours of our national distress; every
thing in music is flourishing, and we are
heartily pleased to see this refinement of
taste exhibited by the. masses of our
American people. -
Music! To the sound of a barrel-organ,
my very heart bounds with the monkey,
its usual accompaniment, or swells with a
jew's harp,or a harp of a thousand strings,
But woe is tne ! would that mine habita
tion were in the very skirts of Jerico,
rather than thus, next door to, and sepe
rate from, by a very thir i oartition, that
of a very ninical young lady, whose ear
torturing "executions" I am doomed to
suffer, from morning to night, nor is my
own domicil utterly clear of the malaria!
Now, there they go! " 17-na vo-ca pa-ea
a !"—piano and voice (one is enough),
each in its own independent, half dozen
keys, with flats and sharps ad libitam,
Surely they, (the performer next door
and mine own,) wore taught in chaos. ere
time was, or ere the spheres were tuned
to harmony, or ere the morning stars
sang together I"

A nobleman once asked a clergyman,
who was diningat the bottom of the ta
ble, why the goose was'. always placed
next to the parson ? •"Iteally," said he,
"I can give no reason for it; but your
question is so odd that I-shall-never see
a goose again without thinking of your

The invention is known as the Lyman
process,and the company owning the pat
ents is called the "Fibre Disintegrating
Company." They have extensive works
at Red Hook, South BrOoklyte, consist
ing of 32 lots of laud, and the buildings
thereon. The land runs within a few
feet of a good wharf. Extensive prep
arations are being made so as to render
this establishment capable of turning out
upwards of twenty tons of paper pulp
daily, Machinery also is being fitted up
in this factory for the preparation of tex
tile material from unretted flax straw and
other suitable fibrous vegitables, after
the same have been subjected to the
"blowing process."
The Company have also a factory,with
four acres of land, at Elliabethport, N.
J., where it is proposed to "blow" part
of the material. They have also 3 guns
there, with all the necessary apparatus
for working them, and have erected sev
eral large and commodious buildings in
which to carry on their operations.
The Company have made arrangements
for setting up an establishment in the
vicinity of St. Louis, Mo., with 6 guns
to begin with. Cane will be obtained
from the cane fields on the Mississippi
River, a Hide below Cairo, 111. It will
be cut by the men who arc engaged in
cutting firewood for steamboats running
there. The cane will be transported on
large barges and towed up to the works
at St. Louis. There it will be blown,wash

then be made into

to paper-makers for them to' make into
paper.
No better material is required for pa
per than Cane, subjected to the 'blowing
process.' It is almost equal to cotton
For ordinary white paper for newspapers,
&c., and when mixed with ten or fifteen
per cent, of blown hemp stalks, or blown
flax, it will make the finer kinds of paper,
book and letter paper. The six small
guns at St. Louis will blow about twenty
to twenty-live tons of cane daily.
Excellent paper has been made at,
Elizabethport from straw, hemp stalks,
wood, &c., and it is ascertained that pa
per made from the blown fibrous ma
terial is not only much cheaper than can
be made 1 y other processes now in use,
but that it is far superior in quality.
The nature of the patent wilt be best
explained by giving the exact language
of the claim in the patent, viz :—"What
I claim as new, and desire to secure by
letters patent, is the mode of separating
the fibres of wood, flax, or other fibrous
substances, for paper, cloth, or other pur
poses, by charging the mass with hot
water, steam, compressed air, or other
elastic fluid, while in a cylinder or other
suitable receptacle, and then causing it
to be projected from said receptacle, into
the atmosphere or any space where it is
subjected to a sufficiently less pressure ti
cause its disruption by the sudden expan
sion of the fluid within it substantially as
above specified."
Papier Mackie can be made very cheap
by this process. It is ligttter, more dura
ble and less brittle. and liable to damage
than plaster, and admits of being colored,
gilt, or otherwise ornamented. It can be
made, to a great extent, water-proof,and
almost fire-proof. In Belgium tiles for
roofs are made from paper. Papier Ma
cho is a good material for handsome
furniture, also for mouldings and other
architectural ornaments.
It is anticipated that the importation
of rags into .the United States will bo en
tirely stopped when the Company, or its
grantees, shall have established their
works in various parts of the country

BEAUTY.
Beauty is that inherent quality in ob
jects which excites pleasurable emotions,
It is a property which, without the exer
cise of the will or the reason, appeals di
rectly to the senses. It arises neither
from proportion nor utility, nor does it
indeed consist in perfection. It depends
upon
Icirojierap!, nu;cliiintatily
`on,tre luman:miitlYiand asvakeiremiotioria
of love. Its attributes are not those
which arise from the majestic and terri
ble, the huge and infinite. They rather
emanate from objects that are diminutive
and Smooth, having their parts, features,
and colors, symmetrical,delicate and bril
liant, yet regularly varying and gently
and imperceptibly blending together. 1
The natural effect of beauty is electric.
It operates independently and sways us
unconsciously. Its influence, howeveris
quite distinct from that of passion. To
the sensitive and imaginative soul it ap
proaches as calmly and gently as a pleas
ing sleep, entrancing the whole inner ex
istence.
Beauty resembles some sylph-like form.
Her every feature melts in most perfect
symmetry. Her eyes are speaking and
love-begetting. Her speech is more me
lodious than Lydian strains. Her whole
demeanor is pleasing and her every
movement graceful. She is not an inhab
itant of the gloomy ...nd disordered realms
of chaos, but she dwells in regions of
light, where she may be appreciated and
her influence felt. She strays from the
undulating ranges of the mountains into
the richly adorned rallies. She skips
over the rolling plain and roves on the
banks of clear streams, where the waves
dance in the. sunlight and the bnrsting
bubbles resemble oceans of diamonds.—
She goes forth over highland and low
land,and at night accompanies the "moon
walking in brightness" through the con
stellated heavens. Amid clustering flow
ers, rolling meadows and fields wearing
the tawny hue of harvest, she wanders,
and ever and anou seeks the woody
groves and lovely landscapes for a place
'of retirement With childhood's auburn
curls, or perhaps, with the hoary locks of
age, she associates herself with the en-
dearing and venerated. About the gal
leries of art, in the circles of refinement.,
through the halls of fashion, wherever
man is found possessed of faculties to ap
preciate her, their she spreads her daz
zling wings, from which drop shades of
loveliness. She steak a charm from
every object, and furnishes a model for
every artist's skill. Such is natural
beauty and such her personification.
" Muer a censorious liar:" exclaim
ed old Mrs. Partington, as she read in a
certain paper an account of a new
counterfeit, which was said to contain
three women end a bust of Washington
on each end. " What:" says she, "Gen.
Washington on bust ?"Tis not sci?"
And the old lad); lifted her specs,and de
clared she had known the old gentleman
fbr the last thirty years, and she never
heard of his being on a bust—much less
with three women.
