THE AVALGAMATION Or L&NOUAGES.—'!'here IS a grow
lug tendency in tits age to appropriate the most ex
pressive words of other languages. and after a while to
Incorporate them into our own; thus the word Cephalic,
which is from the Greek. signifying "fq• the bend," Is
now becoming popularized is connection with Mr.
Spalding's great headache remedy, but it will soon be
used in a more general way, and the word Cephalic
will become as common as litectrotype and many Toth
era whose distinction as foreign words has been worn
away by common usage until they seem "native and to
the numor horn."

Aka. Iie.IDACITE is the favorite sign by which nature
makes known any deviation whatever tram the natu
ral state of the brain. and viewed in this it may
be looked on as a safeguard intended to giro notice of
disease which might otherwise eseapo attention, till too
late to be remedied; and DR indications should never be
neglected. Headaches may be classified under two
names, vhs: Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptom
atic Headache is exceedingly common and is the pre
cursor of a great variety of diseases, among which are
Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile diseases.—
In its nervous form it is sympathetic of disemse of the
stomach constituting sick hark/eke, of hepatic disease
constituting bilious headache, of worms, constipation
and Other disorders of the bowels, as well as renal and
uterine-affectiona. Diseases of the heart are very fre
quently attended with Headaches; Anaemia and pletho

usually distinguished by the name of nervous Iteutluebe.
sometimes coming on suddenly in a state of apparently
round health and prosprating at once the mental and
physical energies, and in other instances it comes on
slowly, heralded by depression of spirits or acerbity of
temper. In most instances the pain- is In the front of
the head, over one or both eyes, and sometimes provok
ing vomiting; under this class may also be named -ca
m/ea.
For the treatment of either class of Headache the
Cephalic Pills have been found a sure and safe remedy,
relieving the most acitte pains*ln a few minutes, and by
its subtle power eradicating the tliseaaoa of which Head

Constipation or Costivoness.
No Ori . ti or the "many ills flesh Is heir to" is so preva
lent. so little understood. and so much neglected as
Costiveness. Often originating in eareless,or sedentary
habits; it is regarded as a slight disorder of too title
consequence to excite anxiety. while in reality it is the
prec nrser and companion of many of the most fatal and
dangerous diseases, mua unless early eradicated it will
bring the sufferer to en untimely grave. Among the
lighter evils or which costiveness is the usual attend
ant, ore Headache, Colic, Rheumatism, Foal Dreath.

frightful diseases such us Sialignent Fevers, Abeesses,
Dysentery, Dierrlues, Dyspepsia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy,
Paralysis, Hysteria, hypochondria:4s ' Melancholy and
Insanity, first indicate the r presence in the system by
this alarming symptom. Not ;Infrequently the diseases
named originate in Constipation, but take on an nide
; pendent existence unless the cause is eradicated in an
early stage. Front all these considerations it follows
that the disorder should receive immediate attention
whenever It occurs. and no person'should neglect to get
a box of Cephalic Pills nu the first appearance of the
complaint, as their timely use will expel the insidious
approaches of disease and destroy this dangerous foe to
human life.

Dance the old door yard elms benuntb,
And the last lingerers on the treco

Some blind with brown the shining brooks,
Some run mad races on the lea.
They flutter througketiett windward door,
Like Writs wing.wearied by the storm,
They skirmish every gust before,
They till the woods—yt silent swam.
Ent whirling on the air elate,
Or stirless in the forest gray.
Deed leaves are byeroglyphs of fate,
The symbols of our own decay.
Weird voices in the cedars moan,
And prophesy of Winter near,
And a sad quivering semitone •

Birds hurrying froM , the Clouded North,
Of coming storme-thelidings bring, '
The moles delve deeper-in the earth,
The insect world has,seized to sing.

AN ADVENTURE IN IDIA.
It was in the year IS3—,that I join
ed my regiment, as a sub, at Banga
lore; and not being used to such
climate, where the mercury runs to
110 degrees in the . spring, with no
idea of coming (lowa, again till au
tumn, I soon found myself' an invalid,
and almost cursed the day that I had
been tempted to leave cool old Eng
land for such a sweltering country.—
Some of my friends advised a trip to
the Malabar coast, and I was nothing
loth to try any change, believidg,even
the worst I could possibly make must
be for the better. So I procured a pa
lanquin, and eight good bearers, to
take a turn about, and set off forth
with through as wild IC country as
ever mortal could wish to see.
Nothing remarkable occurred till
• we entered - what is known as the
Wey nerd J angle ; and if nothing had
happened there, I should haVe been
tempted to indict the whole country
as a libel on appearance. Such a jun
gle as that I may never behold again!
Reeds, weeds, grass, brambles and
bushes were interlaced like a network
! beneath gigantic trees of teak whose
bows interlocked and canopied the
whole, so that in -many plaices the
bright sunshine of heaven never pen
etrated the earth; and as I was borne
along hi my palanqiiin, on the
shonl
ders of four timid coolies, while the
• other four walked leisurely behind, I
had the satisfaction of knowing I Was
in a -perfect \‘''ildernes, inhabited by
wild _elephants, wild boars, tigers,
leopards, hyenas, jackals,„ and any
number of deadly reptiles, and that
if we were attacked by any ferocious
beast, I should propably be deserted
on the instant and left to take care. of
myself.
And then fancy me at night, with
all these howling beasts around me,
attempting to sleep, amid all the poi
sonous exhalations of a malarious re
gion, with millions of • mosquitoes,
moths, and bugs, humming, buzzing
and perforating every pore of my
body, and you will form sonic faint
idea of the pleasures of a sick man's
journey.
Well, one hot, sultry afternoon,
when We had reached somewhere
near the heart of this jungle, as I
was leaning back on the seat of my
Hl:6l(pin, and dreamily listening to
the drowsy, monotonous song of the
bearers, I was suddenly roused and
startled by two or three hoarSe tram
' pet blasts, which proceeded from a
wild elephant, who was. crushing
through the jungle at no great dis
tanee.; but before I had time for a
word, MY attendants dropped ni
without ceremony, and betook them
selves to flight. .I leaped to mj , feet I
with a kind of delirious strength,and,
knowing that there was not a minute
between me and eternity if I remain- 1 ,
o d w h e re I was, I plunged into the
copse, and ran like a madman
. )n a
direction opposite to the sounds of
my advancing foe.
Fortunately for me, I wins only a
few socondS in reaching the foot of a
large teak-tree, up which I began to
climb as oily a• man may climb . for

from filo in an agony of fear—not so
much the natural fear of death itself,
as the instinctive fear of such a death.
I think the animal must have turn
ed from a direct course before espying
me, for though dote upon me; as I sup
posed, when I began to climb, I. had
succeeded in reaching the first limb,
at least some thirty feet from the
earth, when be made his appearance
at the foot of the tree, snorting and
bellowing in the most terrible man
, ner. Seeing me beyond his reach,
he lashed himself into a perfect fury,
his comparatively small, pig-like eyes
shooting gleams, of fire as he cast
them upward in his disappointed
rage.
Then laying hold of the tree with his
trunk, he tried his strength in shaking
;
it, but it was too heavy for him to CD
; danger my position by that means, he
soon relinquished it for another.—
Wetly stepping, back a feW paces,
I be measured the ground ; and then,
with a sudden bound forward, he
struck the tree a tremendous blow
with his head and tusks. I was watch - -
filo. him closely, but, only barely i
Prebended his design n time to throw
my arms-and legs- around a limb and
I brace. myself forth shock. Nor was
; I at all too well prepared; for the
concussion bruised me not a little,
and it seemed as if a few pounds
r more of force must have sent me clean
from my perch. -
But my enemy was not done yet.
Stepping back and looking up at me,
with an expression that seemed win
'
quire what I thought of it, at the
same time that he would assure me
of its being only the beginning of his
battering operations, lie returned to
the charg e with increased vigor.
But this time I was better prepared
for him, and came not so near beine,
; unseated as on the first trial. Noth
!
big discouraged, he retreated still fur.'
! ther, and then came down like an av
alanehe. It was terrible. I had twin
ed and braced myself in every possi
ble manner; but when he struck, it.
seemed as if the coneassion after first
braising me, and almost knocking the
' breath from my
. body, relaxed every
nerve. Doubtless I should have fall
' en to the earth below, only that! was
pretty securely balanced in the crotch
• of the tree, and having resisted the
main shock, had DO difficulty in
retaining an upright position..
On'again looking down on,. the,ele.
pliant, I was surprised to see him
' with his head- fast against the tree,
lashing his tail, pawing the earth, and
•
starring a sort of moauhig, bellowing
sound, altogether not-unlike a vicious
bull when about to make an attack.—
i I did not itt, first comprehend what
! had occurred, but supposed his actions
to result from the anger of disap
poietment in not being able to bring
me to the ground. But I scion had
cause for rejoicing rather than fear.
Ms last charge had been made with
so much. force, as to imbed his long
ivory tusks in the tree,. and he was
now a prisoner to his own brute ,
'strength.* In vain he pulled. and
wrenched, moaned, and bellowed and
lashed himself into a perfect fury.—
There be was a fast prisoner—caught,
as one might say, in his own trap—
and if- ever a poor mortal was justifi 7
ed in rejoicing over the misfortunes
of.a living creature, I think that in
dividual was myself.
But I was still a prisoner also.—
How was I to get down ? and how
make my escape when down ? True,
the elephant might not be able to lib
erate
himself in time to do me any in
jury, but I already knew enough of
the terrible jungle to feel little Melina-
tion to set off through it alone.—
There were many intricate paths,
branching off from the main one,
over which I ha,d,l*n borne, and the
mistake of taking any one of theo
would most certainly be fatal—re-
suiting in death from starvation
through being lost, or death from '
some one of the thousand other stir
rounding perils. What should I do?
It was reasoniilife to hope that some ,
of my attendants wOutd,,,eooner or
later, return to team tire fate of their
master ; and before entering on any
thing
rash, I resolved to wait a protp
er time for them.
Drearily passed - the next three
hours that I remained upon my gid
dy perch, above the imprisoned beast;
looking off upon an undulating sea of
matted foliage, with the hot . sun of
that tropical climate pouring down
upon me its scorching rays, and al
most slitting me with its feverish
heat. How eagerly! turned my eyes
in every direction, in the hope of get
ting
a glimpse of one of my attend-
ants, to whoin I could make known
ray situation. No human being, was .;
in sight, and my wildest shouts
brought no reply. Should I remain
where I was or descend ? We were, j
as I knew, almost half a day's jour
ney from any settlement, and it would
therefbrebe i impossible for me to reach
a habitation before nightfall, even
should I be fortunate enough to fol.
low the nearest path, while a single'
mistake would leave me to perish in
that awful Solitude. I decided, there-;
fore, to remain where I was, either.
tilt the sun of another day, or until
I should see at least ono human' be
leg capable of acting as a guide.
The sun was rapidly nearing the
westerri horizon, and 1 was despair
ing of any succor that day, when my
attention wits attracted to a commo
tion.in the jungle, - so me quarter of a
mile distant. Birds of various kinds
flew up screaming, and either hover
ed over the spot, in anger, or darted
quickly away in fear, and I could
catch glimpses °Oho deer, the' elk,
and the.buffalo,boundingpff in every
direction. What could be the cause
of thie ,disturbance ? Was it, some
one or more of my attendants return-

ing to
_ascertain My fate? Man, I
knew, was almost universally feared
by the wild feathered tribes of the
wilderness; and the animals of the
brute creation, and in man was . now
my hope. - Wildly did my heart beat,
and eagerly did I strain my eyes to
catch a view of my deliverer.
Tire line of commotion advanced
slowly, but still.l could not be certain
of the cause. eßrer and nearer it
gradually came, till at last 1 felt a
cold thrill of terror pass through m y
frame, as I suddenly caught a glimpse
of the sleek, spotted bide of a royal
tiger, sloWly and softly mlikinl.); his
way 'through the jungle, directly to
ward the tree upon which I teas perch
ed. I lOoked down at tho elephant,
and pereeived.that b y some peculiar
faculty or instinct, he was already
aware..of his danger. Ile was stand
ing perfectly still, no longer making
an effort to release himself; but I
could see the skin of his broad back
quiver, as if every nerve of his body
was effected.
•
The tiger gradually drew nearer,
turd at the last stopped within a few
paces, as if to calculate his chances.
Then, with bri.trtivi hair, he stOl,e
softly round ills intlnded victim in a
broad circle, his sharp teeth visible,
and his terrible eyes glaring with
fierce angerand desire. Then crouch.
ing for the spring, he gave one fear
ful roar and bound, and fairly landed
upon the back of his helpless victim,
who uttered one agonizkl cry—a Sort
of shriek and groan combined—that
made me pity him, enemy though he
was.
But his sufferiri,gs were of short
! duration, as he could make no resis
tancc, the tiger had matters all his
own way, and almost in the time it
takes me to tell you the fact, he had
opened the throat of the giant beast,
and was drinking his fill of the warm
gushing blood. The sight sickened
mc, and I clung to the tree with clos
ed eyes and dizzy brain.
When I looked again, the terror of
the jungle was making his retreat,
licking his chops with glutted satis
faction. I looked down at the ele
phant, and beheld a gory carcass, Stilt
held to the tree by his tusks. He
was dead, and in his death, perhapS,
was My own salvation, though I was
still afraid to descend lest I should be
compelled to remain there through
the night; but I bethought, me to try!
the virtue of my Voice again, and
shouted for help. To my surprise
and aluxost, frantic joy, an answer
:was returned. I repented my call of
help, and one of my attendants made
his appearance. -1 explained what
hail o'eeurred, and by, a signal of his
own, he Soon brought three of the
others to his side.. I then descended,
hut, fotind myself very. faint, and was
by two of them assisted to my palan
quin, where 1 swooned away.
It is enough to add that I passed
through the jungle in safety;
though
if any patio:ban thinks I flattered
myself on being a hero before I felt
it, I beg to undeceive him. I have
since experienced some remarkable
adventures, but'none that have left
upon my mind so vivid an impression
of the terrible as the one I have just
related:':
IOE HOUSES
The cheapest, easiest and quickest

for the purpose, is built of wood; and
the money difference in cost placed at
interest will more than keep the
wooden house in repair, and good as
brick or stone, so long as the walls of.
such would stand. A corner in the
woodhouse will sometimes answer '
the
purpose. Lay a floor of the desired tize
above the level of the standing water.
Put up a. common frame on two sides

other sidesand board up on the in
side, battening the cracks. get up
studs along the two sides of the wood.

spaee. with sawdust. Then board up
the two outsides, and batten as before,
and fill up.th.e.space. Now lay si , x or
eight inches of saw dust on the floor
(a foot deep over a layer of charcoal
would be better,) and the work is
done. Blocks of ice of equal size
should be lain in—the larger the bet
ter. Cover with charcoal, a good •
thickness of saw-dust, and a top cov
ering of straw. Eight cubic feet of
ice will last an.ordinary family during
a whole season. Of course the north
eastern corner of a wood-house should
be selected. The ice house should be

and the days of Tyrahny were num

The grandeur of• that scene care nt
be compassed in one glance. H©
stood amid a grave anv pl•udent body
of men, conscious indeed of the wrongs
of their country, but relying upon
modest petition for redress. They
never let their imaginations ramble
into visions of upright chainless inde
pendence. A thousand things forbade
he idea. Their habits of thought
and action, their pitiable weariness as
a country, their disgust for war ou
account of recent and exhausting con.
filets, all tended to indispcse them for
freedom. They were besides, legis.
ting beneath the jealous eyes of royal
deputies, who would not fail to call
treason by its riglm name. They sat,
as it were, under the glimmerings of
the diadem•
Who would dare, if so inclined, to
stalk forth from their midst,and throw
down the gauntlet to the mightiest
Empire of the V - orld—nay, to all the
Empires of the world—to principles
as old as the globe itself, interwov
en with every page of past history,
sanctioned by venerable ages, and
proud and awful the heavens ?
Who would dare to leap on the moss
grown and frowning ramparts of mon
:welly-, and pluck its blood-red flag?
Who would rush from the 'security
.of submission, and Sampson like,
grasp the lion by his mane ? It was
the grandest moment of time—hut
God had reared up one to fill it. That
man was Patrick Henry.
He opened hia His heart, big
with the destiyes of the world, strug
gled for a moment with doubt—but
no longer. The electric appeal shot
forth—drifted on—flashing fiercer and
brighter, in growing, overwhelming
majesty, until the last words—" Give
me Liberty or give Ill') Death !"
'filled up its measure ofterrible might;
and the last link of the chain, that
had entirely bound the form was riv
en. He bad finited his sublime task,
The revolution_ was a-fact.
"SE LA H."
The word "Mali," which is used in
the Psalms seventy four times, and
Xhrice in the prophecy of Habakkuk,
must have some significant meaning,
and yet there semis to be much doubt
in reference to the matter. It is a
Hebrew Word, which the translatott
have left as they found it, because
they could not agree as to its mean
ing, The Targurn and most of the
Jewish commentators give to the word
the .meaning of eternally, - forever. The
version of the Septuagint translation
appears. to have letzardeA.; it as a mu
sical or rythmical note. Hemer re
gards it as indicating a change of
tone; Matheson, as a musical note,
equivalent per,haps to 9 word repeat.
According to Luther and others it is
equivalent to the exclamation, Silence!
Gesenius says Selah means, "let the
instruments play and the singers
stop.'! Woeher regards it as equiva
lent to sursum cordct P (up, my souls)!
Sommer, after examining all the SC,T ,
enty-lburpassages, in which the word
occurs, recog,nixes,in every case "ar.
actual appeal or summons to Jeho
vah; they are calls for aid,.atid ; pray•
ers to be heard, expressed eith , 7;.r with
entire directness, or if not in the imi
porative, "hear, J ehovah !" and the
like,,still earnest addresses to God,
that he would remember and hear,
&e. The word itself be regards as
indicatini , a blast of trumpets by the
priests. ''Selah itself he thinks is an
abridged expression used for Higgs
ion, indicating thesound of the string=
ed instilment, and Selsb a Vigorous
blast rif trumpets. Some think the
word marks the beginning of a new
measure of verses; and others that
it joins what follows to that which
goes before, and shows that what has
been said deserves always to be re
membered. • Some have thought Se
lab showed the cessation of the actu
al inspiration of the Psalmist; and
others that it is simply a note to in
dicate the elevation of the voice;
still others, that it is equiValent to
Amen, be it so, or let it be.
