{Extract from the London .Mtduul Journal )
C. J 11 Upturns, M. !>., F. R 3., Professor of Medi
cine in Ltijversity College, London, Consulting I'hysi
cisu to the Hospital for consumption, dec., says: I have
prescribed the Oil in above four hundred cases of tubercu
unease of the Lungs, in different stages, which have
h*en tinder my care the last two years and a half. In
• - ie large number of cases, 206 out 0f234, us use was fol
-Jwed hy marked and unequivocal improvement, varying
•*> d- gree in different cases, from a temporary retarda
tan of the progress of the disease and a mitigation of dis
■'ssii-.g symptoms, up to a more or less complete restor
to apparent health.
V he effect of the Cod Liver Oil In most of these cases
sis v. ry remarkable. Even in a few days the cough
mitigated, the expectoration diminished in quantity
'id opacity, the night sweats ceased, the pulse became
' ower, and of better volume, and the appetite, (lesli and
strength were gradually improved.
"In conclusion, I repeat that the pure fresh oil from
e L ; ver of the Cod is more beneficial in the treatment
''Pulmonary Consumption than any Bgcut, medicinal,
dietetic or regimenal, that has yet been employed"
•V vr have made arrangement* to procure the Cod I.ever
fr'ih from head quarters, it tan now be had chemically
ly the single bottle, or in boxes of one doten each.
Its wonderful efficacy has induced numerous spurious
"*"t.Uhns. As its success depends entirely 011 its purity,
•- 1 much care cannot be used in procuring it genuine.
Kerry bottle having on it our written signature may It

Pamphlets containing an analysis of the Oil, with no

per cent, on the premiums paid, and without increasing
the annuni payment to the company.

There Is a habit which boys teach each other at the

self, in solitude, growing up with the boy to manhood;
fewofthose who indulge in this |iernick)im practice are
aware of the consequences until they find the nervous
system shattered, feel strange and unaccountable feel
ings, vague fears in the mind. The individual becomes
feeble, he it-unable to labor with accustomed vigor, or
to apply his mind to study; Ma step is tardy and weak,

WORDS BT MKLODIA.
[This is a song by a young Southern lady of
j eighteen, which some one will yet set to music,
i and thus give it the wings of perpetual recur
rence, which it well deserves.— Editors Home
{ Journal.}
I think of thee!—those orbs that roll
In yon soft sky so blue and bright,
Bring nightly to my pensive soul
One heavenly dream of lost delight.
At eve the stars come back to heaven,
And sparkle happier than before;
To me, alas ! no joy is given ;
I weep to think thou'lt come no more.
I hate the songs I sung of old,
Though they were dearest then to me ;
I cannot bear the world so cold,
Should hear those songs I sung for thee.
When summer's fled the earth is lone,
The wild bird's silver note is o'er,
( And thus with me when thou art gone,
1 weep to think thou'lt corne no more.
Roll on, resistless time! Thy wing
Shall never change the spirit's bliss,
And if I could , I would not fling
Away a dream of love like this.
Yet when rny shattered bark hath passed
The waves of life's dark ocean o'er,
If thou, loved one, art found at last
In heaven, I'll rest and weep no more.

BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.—Few think of
the lofty and divine hopes that the belief in
immortality opens to us. One of the pur
est of these is an expectation of a more en
tire intelligence—of the great gift of con
versing with all who have lived before us
—of questioning the past ages and unra
velling their dark wisdom. How much in
every man's heart dies away unutlered !
How little of what the sage knows, does
the sage promulgate ! How rr.anv chords
of the lyre within the poet's heart have
been dumb in the world's ear ! All this
untold, uncommunicated, undreamed of
hoard of wisdom and harmony, it may be
the privilege of our immortalit}' to learn.
The best part of genius the world often
, knows not the Plato buries much of his
; loro within his cave—and this, the High
L'uknown, is our heritage. With these
thoughts, how easy it is for the parting
soal to beautify and adorn Death ! With
how many garlands we can hang the tomb !
INay, if wo begin betimes, we can learn
to make the prospect of the grave the
most seductive of human visions—by little
and little we wean from its contemplation
all that is gloomy and ab!iorrent--by little
and little we hive therein all the most
pleasing of our dreams. As the neglected
genius whispers to his muse, 4 Posterity
shall know thee, and thou shalt live when
1 am no more, we find in this hallowed
and all promising future a recompense for
every disappointment in the present. It is
the belief of the Arabs, that to the earliest
places of human worship there clings a
guardian sanctity—there the wild bird
rests not, there wild beasts may not wan
der ; it is the blessed spot on which the
eye of Cod dwells and which man's best
memories preserve. As with the earliest
place of worship, so it is with the latest
haven of repose—as wiih the spot where
our first imperfect adoration was offered
up, our first glimpses af divinity indulged,
so should it be with that where our full
knowledge of the Arch-Cause begins, and
we ran pour foith a gratitude no longer
clouded by the troubles end cares of the

Making Love to the Wrong Person.
A Ciocinnali paper is responsible for
(ho following:
A young gentleman who had bocn pay- ;
ing his addresses in propria persona to a j
young lady in the city, left a few mouths
ago and went down the river on business. I
A correspondence was immediately opened J
between the enamoured pair, and after ex- :
changing several letters, the young lady !
was mortified to find that her letters were ;
unanswered, and consequently she ceased i
writing. But the real secret of her not I
receiving letters, was the fact that another
young lady of the same name, supposing '
they were intended lor her, took them
from the office and opened a correspoa- j
dence with her proxy lover. Some two |
months pusscd away, when the young man
wound up by n direct proposal and insist
ed on an immediate answer, averring at i
the same lime that he thought the tone of
her letters very different from those re
ceived when he first left Cincinnati, and )
upbraided his fair love with inconstancy. ;
This last epistle was too much fur our ro
manlic incognito, and being conscience
smitten for the part she had been acting,
and fully persuaded that some oilier lady j
had been pining for the man she was
wooing, sought her out and delivered up
the letters to the rightful owner. The
mitlei was speedily arranged, and the re- i
al lovers have since become united in the ;
bonds of wedlock.

IM: DEVIL'S FHTlT. —Potatoes were
first introduced at Moscow by Mr. Row
| land, about sixty years ago. At first the
people would neither plant or tourh then>,
saying they were the devil's fruit, given to
hirn upon complaining to God that he had
j no fruit, when he was told to search in the
earth for som°, which he did, and found
potatoes. A curious Berwickshire legend,
which, however, is palpably anachronical,
attributes the introduction of potatoes into
Scotland to that famous wizard of the north,
Sir Michael ScotJ. The wizard and the
devil being in partnership, took a lease of
a farm upon the Mcrtoun estates, called
) Whitehouse. The wizard was to manage
the farm ; the devil advanced the capital.
The produce was to be divided as follows
—the first year Sir Michael was to have
all that grew above the ground and his
i partner all that grew below, the second
year their shades were to be just the op
posite way. His Satanic majesty, as is
usual in such cases, was fairly overreached
in the bargain; for the wizard cunningly
| sowed all the land the first year with
wheat, and planted it with potatoes the
second—so that the devil got nothing for
his share but wheat-stubble and potato
tops ; and litis scourging rotation Sir Mich
ael continued, until he not only beggared
his partner, but exhausted the soil. In
r spite cf this legend, however, we must con
tinue to give credit to Sir Walter Raleigh
for having been the introducer of potatoes
into this country. The first that tried them,
so we are told, fell into the very natural
j mistake of eating the apples and disre
garding the roota. — Shields (England)

THE ILLITERATE ROBBER.—A gentle
i j man passing iate at nigl.t over the Point
Neuf in Paris, was accosted by a polite and
j seemingly suppliant stranger, who asked
i him to read a paper which he had just
picked up. The gentleman held up his
i lanlhorn and complied :—The following is
the translation of the lines :
" Speak not a word when this you've read,
| Or in an instant you'll be dead ;
Give up your money, watch and rings
Or other valuable things:
Depart then quickly, as you will,
Only remember silence still."
The gentleman thought it best to de
liver up his valuables as required. The
robber was afterwards recognised bv the
i person robbed and arrested. His identity
was positively sworn to, and the following
confession was made by the criminal ;
"My Lards—l confers that on the even
ing specified I met this gentleman on the
Point Neuf. and the transaction occurred
as he has related it, but I am far from be
ing yet guilty—l cannot read. I picked
up the paper and thought it might he of
consequence. Seeing that the gentlemen
had a lantern, I begged him to do me the
favor to read the paper. He complied,
I and then to my surprise, put his watch,
money and rings into my hands. I was so
astonished that I could not ask him what
he meant, and supposed that the paper was
of great value, and that he had given me
his rings, money and watch to get rid of
me. Thus if any one be wronged, it was
I, and 1 hope justice will he done." He
was acquitted.— London Times.
How to Measure an Arre.
LAND.—3O£ square yards make 1 square rod
40 square rods make 1 square rood
4 square roods make 1 acre
610 acres make 1 square mile
48 k) sq. yds. or 100 rods make 1 acre.
In measuring an acre by yards, the usu
al practice is, to trace off 70 yards in
length and 70 yards in width ; this, in a
rough way, may be considered near enough
for all practical purposes ; but as 70 yards
either way make 4900 square yards, it
exceeds an acre by 60 square yards : To
determine an accurate acre, it should be
measured 70 yards in length, by 69 1-7
I yards in breadth. The same result may
be arrived at by measuring 220 feet in
j length and 19S in width, or by measuring
73£ yards in length by 66 yards in breadth.

THE LENGTH OF LIFK.—A gentleman
| having a remarkable long vision, over
heard a lad ohierve to another cs he pass
led them. " That gentleman's face is long
er than his life." He was 6fr"ck wih
the singularity of the observation,and re
| quested an explanation : "Str," replied the
! boy, " I read at school that a man's life is
, hut a span, and I am sure your face is
double that length."
A young dandy who supported an enor
mous moustachio, asked a lady what she
thought of his looks. Well,' said she,
'you look as if you had swallowed a -qui:-
I rel, and left the tail sticking out of your
mouth.'
