Which conveys the
Remedies to the cavities iu the lungs through- the aft

neutralizes the tubercular matter, allays the cough,

confidently that Consumption fa curable by Inhalation,
is to me 'a source of unallayetrideakiire: It Ines mneb
under the control of medical treatment as any, 'other
•fotioldaide disease; ninety out of every hundred' cases
'Mtn be cured in the first stages, and fifty percent. in the
riedond; 'bid; In the third stage it la impossible to save
more than five por cent., for the lungs are so cut up by
the disease as todefy medical skill. ~giren, however, iu
Mi n lest iteges, Inhalation affords axtriordinery.relief to
the suffering attending this fearful scourge, which, an
nually destroys ninety-five thousand persons in the U
nited Status alone ; and a correct calculation elvoits that
of theptesent population of the earth, ..eighty millions
are'destined to fill the Consumptive's grave.
Truly,the quiver of death has no arrow so fatal its
Consumption. In all ages it has been the great enemy
of life, for It spares neither age 'nor' sex, but sweeps off
alike the brave, the beautiful„ the gracefui„and the gift
ed. By the. help of that Supreme from. whom

sumptiow, The first cause of tubercles is from Impure
Blood, and the Immediate effect, produeed h y their depo
sltion in the lungs, Li to prevent theitett admission-Of
air into the air cells, which causes , a weakener] vitality
through the entire system. Then, surely, it is mere ra
tional to expect greater good from medicines entering
the cavities of the lungs, than from those administered
through Abe stomach ; the patient, will always find the
lungs free and the breathing easy, after inhaling. cone
dim,. True, inhalation is 'a local remedy, .nevertheless,
it acts constitutionally, and with more : power and cer
tainty than remedies administered by the stomach. To
prove the powerful and direct influence of this mode of
administration, chloroform inhaled will destroy sensibil
ity in a few minutes, paralyzing the entire nervous sys
tem, so theta limb maybe amputated without thitollght
eat - palniluhaling the ordinary burning gas will destroy
life in a few hours.
-The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the system when
faintingtr apparently dead. -The odor. of many of the
medicines is perceptible in.the skin; a few moments af
ter being inhaled, and May tie itinnedlately detected in
the blood; A convincing proof of the constitutional ef
fects orinhalation, 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 judi
ciously administered through the lungs, should produce
the most happy results t During eighteen years' prac
tice, many thousands, suffering from - diseases 'of the
lungs and throat, have been under my.care, and I have
effected ninny remarkable cures, even after the sufferers
land been pronounced in the last stages, which fully sat
isfies me that, Consumption is no longer if fatal disease.—
My treatment of Consnmption is original, and founded
on long expe.denee and a thorough 'investigation.
perfect acquaintance with the nature of tubercles, &c.,
enables nu; to distinguish, readily, the various forms of
disease that simulate consumption, and apply the proper
remedies, rarely being mistaken even iu a sidgle
This familiarity, in connection with certain pathological
and microscopic discoveries, enables me to relieve
the lungs from the effects of contracted chests ; to en
large the chest; purity the blood, impart to it renewed vi
tality. giving energy and tone to the entire system.
• Medicines, with full directions, rent to any part of the
United States and Cumulus, by patients communicating
their symptoms by letter. lint the cure would be more
certain if the patient should pay me a visit, which
would give me an opportunity to examine the lungs and
enable me to prescribe with much greater certainty ;
and then the cure could be effected without my seeing
the patient again.

DEVIL IN THE GROCERY.
BY HAZEL, GREET,
CRAPTER 1
Captain Spluggs, areal jolly old enetomer,
standing five feet three in his be - ote, weighing
some three hundred pounds, resided in Illinois,
and kept a giocery up at the hiad of possum
Creek, at a place ea..lod Cracker's Neck—that is
to say, he sold molasses, Whisky, and such like,
in a little log cabin up them The captain bad
a goodly number of patrons, especially for the
whisky, and rumor says he was not a bad ens
tomer himself L-in fact, some even wont so far as
to hint that he drank more whisky than any oth
er throe mon en the creek, and I will not attempt
to refute the charge, for I know from somo entice
or oilier, the old fellow was exceedingly fond of
the busineSs. •
Captain Spluggs had a son, who like his dad
was a true lover of the toed erii•.er," but the old
Mall refused to let him drink it. lie had enough
of the 'Young Americo; about him, hoWever, to be
capable of shifting for himself; So when old
Spluggs was in bed snoring away in regular saw
mill style, the younger Spluggs was pretty' sure
to come 'bobbing around' for the'Purpose of steal
ing the key from the pocket of his dad's trousers,
as they hung on a chair. This accomplished, he
would collect a lot of his young friends together
at the grocery and have what they called; a jolly
time of it.
„ ,
Captain Splugge grocery SON* got to be an in.
tolerable nuisance to the neighbors. ' All daY long
the . old gentleman and lila friends drank and ea
roused, and all night long the young gentlentan
and friends kept it up, after the plan laid down
by the older one. It was too much for the ,pa
tienco of any people. Even the Cracker Neck
iana- could not endure it, and. so they palled a
meeting, and appointed a. committee whose duty
it was to visit the old captain, and request him
to keep a better order of things in the future.
The committee HICIL performed their office; at
Which . the captiaa laughed heartily. Finding
.that he was inclined to make sporrof them, they:
resorted to threats, and assured him that unless
be mended his ways the citizens would take the
matter into their own hands—still he laughed.—
Their visit made no impression—thingS went on
as before.
Seine nights after this, Spluggs, junior, having
possesseil himself of the key, repaired to t he gro
cery as usual to have his spree. It was about
the hour of eleven, and ono of his participants
was already in waiting.
"Arab," said he, addressing the young Mr
Spinggs, “rll be dinged of I don't think tha's
samahin" in this 'are grocery, for I hear 'some
kind of trompin' round in, tiler!
"Guess it's only the rats, for tha's lots and
gobs of them about.,". replied Arch.
-"Hark! I hear it again!" exclaimed the first
speaker.
"It does sound a little queer," replied_
"Let's go and set down on the door step ; and -dis-
ten awhile afore we go in."
•
They proceeded to put this plan into execution,
but ere they had scarcely touched the step, which'
was a large flat stole, they hounded up with a
suddenness that would have made looker on to
suppose it was red hot.
"What in the nation's this we've sot down in ?"
asked Arch. -
"Tar, or molasses, or somethin' me I lived" re
plied the other.
"Alolasses, as, sure as Ellootin '," contin tfea Aroh,
after a short im castigation.
"Yes, molasses And whisky, by lolixim !" put in .
his' friend, who had fust carried the work of ana
!ping:still further, by liringingsonie of the doubt: ;
ful compound' in proiltnity with his nasal organ. !
"That's so, and it's a rennin' out from under
the door in a purflesluee !" said Ares. .
Just theti'their: ears were greeted with a most
inhuman sounding groan from within, tried then
the gromphin' round' comnienced again. This
was too much for the unstrung nerves of ear
young heroes, and ; so they cut dirt for other quar
ters.

as if his old sides had been made o f India rubber,

od.the door of the dwelling, he was not far behind
them. As soon as the parties could recover their
breath; Captain Spluggs said,
- "Say, deff,-did you see it? What' was it?"
"The very devil, himself, cap., and no mistake,"
replied Jeff.

'shoemaker, do on - extraordinary occasions.
CIIAFTER 111
The rest of that night was an awful time for
Jeff and the Spluggses. They remained up and
talked over the matter till morning, for an attempt
at sleeping would ha,vo been worse than non
sense.
When it was fairly light, the old captain and
the dauntless blacksmith gathered together all
the villagers, and, repaired to the grocery, nerved
for an awful encounter. As the safest mods of at
tack it was agreed that the chinking should be
punched from between the logs of the cabin, and
that the beseigers should fire on kis satanic ma
jesty- through the openings thus made.
The proposed aperture was . made, and there
stood the frightful monster, plain to be seen by all.
A gun was leveled at it by the blacksmith, but
ere he could the trigger, one of the neigh
bors knocked it up, and suggested, that it would
be better poliy to take the thing, alive, and sell it
to be exhibited as a show. All favored this but
Jeff and the Spluggses, they arguedthat it was all
a pack of nonsense to think of capturing the dev
il
alive, and stilt greater nonsense to think of ex
hibiting him. However, when one of the neigh
bors offered to go, into the grocery and make an
attempt to treat with the old fellow, they yielded
the point, and betook themselves to what they
considered safe distance, when they awaited in,
breathless anxiety, to witness the doubtful re
suit.
The venturesome neighbor, with a grin on his
face, that most persons would have attributed to
inward mirth, but which Captain Spluggs
push
as being caused by in tense excitement., push
ed open the door an walked in.
"Brave fellow !" exclamed the .captain, fixing
himself in a position- favorable to running, in case
such a thing was, necessary.
lu ry a mouton t the rash individual in the grocery
came leading forth by the horn—not old licelze
.
bub himself, but Captitin Spluggs' old brindle
cow—completely robed, from the tips of her horns
to the bottoms of •her hoofs, in a thick canting of
molasses and feathers.
A rending peal of laughter went up from all
save the old captain. He .could not laugh, for
having got rid of the devil, a vision of his losses.
began to rise up before him. Con examination, he
discovered that his groccey had met, a total, de
struction. Not a barrel of wisky or molasses re
maimed with ahead in it. The old fellow's wrath
knati no bounds. lied it not been for the feath
ors, and the sly winks exchanged by some of his
neighbors, ho would have fallen on old 'brindle,
and killed her outright; these caused him, to Ells
pact that she did not 'of her own free will and
aceord,' have much to do with it.
Thus _ended the liquor business at Creckr's
Neck., Captain Spluggs, like a good chrisiian,
bought a:farm, and put Arch to work.on it, which
made a man'of him. To this'day the old captain
often laugh's alma the . old scrape, and says it was
the best thing that ever happened him and that
he would now bo among the first to oppose the
ostablialiment of it groCe in the vicinity of
Cracker's Neck.

freely, but always makes it a point never to drink

An account appeared in the London papers
some months ago of a very complete instrument

The inVentiori and workmanship are- such as
might have - 'been turned out, only at ono
of our first-rate machine shops. The instru
ment bas been tried by Messrs. Chubb, the iron
safe-makers, who found that it would cut a piece
out of a quarter-inch iron door in four hundred
revolutions of the lever ny which it is worked, or
in an hour; an&it cut out a piece from a plate
half an inch in thickness without being in the
least injured or rendered inefficient for .further
use. A:Singular : fact in the ease is, that in the
thief's valise, in which the latter instrument was
found, was also discovered a cogwheel belonging
to the instrument seized in London, connecting
the person having the one machine with the own
er of the other. The person in whose possession
the machine was' found in Manchester escaped
punishment because he was -in a dwelling-house
with it when taken.; had he been taken with it
in the streets he could have been reached by the
law..
THE .SEA-SERPENT CAUGHT
A correspondent of the London Times, who
gives his name as Frederick Smith, sends EL letter
to that journal in which be says.
• "In your paper of the sth inst., is a letter from
Captain Ifarrington, of the ship CASTILIAN, stat
ing his belief that be had icon the great sea-ser
pent near St. Helena. His confidence is strength
ened from the fact of something similar having
been seen by Her Majesty's ship Dmosxus, Bear
the same position. The following circumstances,
which occurred on board the ship Pekin, then be
longing to T. d W. Smith, on her passage from
Moulmein, may be of service respecting this 'queer
fish.' On Dec. 28. 1843, being in let. 26' 5.,- . lon.
Be E, nearly calm, ship . having only steerage
way, saw about hitlf-e-ruile on port-helm, a very
extraordinary . looking thing in the water of con
siderable length. With the telescope we could
plainly discern a huge head and neck, covered
with a long shaggy looking kind of main, which
it kept lifting at intervals out of the water. Thi s
was seen by all hands and declared to be the great
sea-serpent. I determined on knowing some
thing /theta it, and accordingly lowered a boa t
in which my chief officer and four men went, talk
ing with them a long small line in case it could be
required, I watched themvery anxiously, and
the monster seemed not to regard their approach.
At length they get close to the head. They seem
ed to hesitate, and then busy themselves with the
line, the monster all the time ducking its head
and showing its . great length. Presently the boat

TO RAISE EXTRA EARLY PO
- •
Cover the bottom.of several shallow boxes with
six inches' of equal parts of stable manure and
loam anti put .nny early variety of potatoes over
the surface„tivo or three inches apart; then Cover
them with six inches of the cotopost. Nail slats
or an open cover over the top, and bury in the
side of a fermenting manure berp, the warmth of
which will soon s.tart tbe potatoes into growth.—
If the heat ; should be too great, remove a portion
of.the manure from the top. and admit air inside
the box. When the weather will allow planting
out, remove the boxes, which Will contain a mass
of roots-and Whitish colored stalks. Leave them
in the open air for a few days to harden off, and
having watered them copiously,. take out the po
tatoes with as much earth as possible, undisturb
ed about the roots already formed, and transplant
in rows. . You, will then , have potatoes at least
two or three weeks earlier than when planted at
first in the open grounds..
The middle or latter part of March will be a
proper,,season for : putting them in the compos
heap, in this latitude. - • .

neighbor, found it impossible to make change

judge was on the bench, in the midst of s. very
important.caie, the avaricious man, whose braih
could not rest while three cents were absent from
his pocket, apPeared in the court room and un
ceremoniously desired the Judge to grant him an
interview. The Judge arrested the progress of
the ease, and addressing the counsel, mid

CAL CUL ATING It A OtILVES
Babbager.s celebrated calculating machine has
lon g been known and used in England, but bas
never been brought into use in this country. It
is said to be almost an impossibility to make a
series of pages of figures absolately correct and
free from errors, except at a great expense for
proof-reading. A single reader becomes confused
and mystified by dwelling upon figures only, and
is as likely to make errors as to correct them.—
As he cannot remain long at reading without be
coming confused, his place must be supplied by
others, who become confused in turn, to be than
succeeded by fresh readers.
The English sailing tables, by which all British
ships were navigated, were said from this cause
to be always wrong in some figure, and ships were
being wrecked continually in consequence of
these errors. They wore made absolutely correct
by Babhaves machine, which was the wonder of
the time at. which it was produced. But, as a
great discovery always leads to imitations, just
as the best songs have been most frequently par
odied, eo Babbege has not only been imitated, but
even surpassed. A' French saran has completed
an arithwerneter of suprising capacity. He has
worked patiently at this machine for thirty years.
His name is Thomas; and his machine adds up,
subtracte, multiplies, and divides, to an astonish
ing extent, and with perfect accuracy. It will
multiply eig'tt figures by eight in eighteen seo•
oncis, divide any sixteen figures by eight others
in twenty-four seconds, and in a minute and a
quarter Will extrect the square root of sixteen
figures, and give the proof.
This machine relieves the human mind instead
of taxing is. It works out the moat difficult and
complex operations with a rapidity and accuracy
that defy competition, and adapts itself to any
sort of combination. Its mechanism is extremely
simple, while it le compact, light, and. portable.
It is now used in various financial concerns in
Paris, and will yet find its way into every great
national observatory. To astronomers, it. will be
found of unspeakable value.
Pascal and Leibnitz spent years in attempting
to produce such a maehine, but they were a cen
tury too soon.
