A SACKED MELODY.
If yon bright stars which gem the night,
Re each a blissful dwelling sphere,
Where kindred spirits re-unite,
Whom death has torn asunder here,
How sweet it were at once to die,
And leave this blighted orb afar—
Mix soul with soul, to cleave the sky,
And soar away from star to star.
Rut, oh ! bow dark, how drear, how lone
Would seem the brightest world of bliss,
If wandering through each radiant one,
We fail to find the loved of this !
It there no more the ties slionld twine,
W hieh death's cold hand alone can sever,
Ah ! then these stars in mockery stiine,
More hateful as they shine forever.
It cannot lie'.—each hope and fear
"J hat brights the eye or clouds the brow,
Proclaims there is a happier sphere
'1 ban this bleak world that holds us now!
There is a voice which sorrow hears,
(V hen heaviest wears life's galling chain :
'Tis Heaven that whispers "dry the tears —
The pure in heart shall meet "again!"

Kossuth's Interview with the President.
Kossuth, accompanied by iiis suite, had
an interview with the President on Wed
nesday, 31st December. It was not a
formal or official reception. Kossuth read
the following address—
M. KOSSL Tit's ADDRESS TO THE PRESIDENT.
" Enlightened by the spirit of your
country's institutions, when we succeeded
to consolidate our natural and historical
State right of self-government by placing
it upon the broad foundation of demo
cratic liberty—inspired by your history
when we had to light for independence
against annihilation by centralizing ab
solutism—consoled by your people's sym
pathy when a victim of Russian inter
ference with the laws of nature and of
nature's God—protected in exile by the
Government of the United States sup
porting the Sultan of Turkey in his noble
resolution to undergo the very danger of a
war rather than leave unprotected the
rights of humanity against Rosso-Austrian
despotism—restored by the United States
to life because restored to freedom, and bv
freedom to activity in behalf of those du
ties which, by my nation's unanimous
confidence and sovereign will, devolved
upon me—raised in the eyes of many op
pressed nations to the standing of a har
binger of hope, because the star spangled
banner was seen cast in protection around
me, announcing to the world that there is
a nation, alike powerful as free, ready to
protect the laws of nations, even in dis
tant parts of the earth and in the person
of a poor exile—cheered by your people's
sympathy so us freemen cheer not a man
whatever, hut a principle —I now bow be
fore you, sir, in the proud position of
your great nation's guest, generously
welcomed by resolution of the Congress
of the United States, with equal generosity
approved and executed by your Excel
lency. I beg leave to express my fervent
thanks, in my name and in the name of
mv associates, who after having shared
mv misfortunes, have now the reward to
share the honor and the benefit which the
meat Republic of the United States was
pleased to bestow upon Hungary by be
stowing it upon its freely chosen chief,
when he became a persecuted victim of
despotic violence. 1 beg leave to express
niv fervent thanks in my country's name
also, which, amidst the sorrows of its
desolations, livlscheered by yourcountry's
generosity, and looks with resolution to
the impending future, because it is con
fident that the time draws near when the
eternal code of the law of nations willbe
cotn.- a reality.
"President: —1 stand before your Ex
cellency a living protestation against the
violence of foreign interference oppressing
the sovereign right of nations to regulate
their own domestic concerns. I stand be
fore your Excellency a living protestation
against eentralizaii >u oppressing the state
right of self-government. May 1 be al
lowed to take it for an augury of better
times, that, in landing on the happy shores
of this glorious Republic, 1 landed in a
free and powerful country, whose honored
Chief Magistrate proclaims to the world
that this country cannot remain indifferent
when the strong arm of a foreign Power
is invoked to stifle public sentiment and
repress the spirit of freedom in our coun
try. 1 thank Cod that he deemed me not
unworthy to act and to suffer lor my
fatherland. 1 thank Cod that the late ol
my country became so intimately con
nected with the fate of liberty and inde
pendence of nations ol Europe as formerly
it was intimately connected with the se
curity of Christendom. 1 thank Cod that
my country's unmerited woe and my per
sonal sufferings became an opportunity to
ser k a manifestation of the spirit and
principles of your Republic.
"May Cod the Almighty bless you
with a long life, that you may long enjoy
the happiness to see your country great,
glorious and free, the corucr-stonc of in
ternational justice, and the column of
freedom, as it is already an asylum to the
oppressed."

everlasting gratitude of Hungary."

THE PRESIDENT'S REPEY.
"I am happy, Governor Kossuth, to
welcome you to this land of freedom; and
it gives me pleasure to congratulate you
upon your release from a long confine
ment in Turkey, and your safe arrival
here. As an individual, I sympathised
deeply with you in your brave struggle
lor the independence and freedom of your
native land. The American people can
never be indifferent to such a contest, but
our policy as a nation in this respect has
been uniform from the commencement of
our Government, and mv own views, as
the Chief Executive Magistrate of this
nation, are fully and freely expressed in
my recent message to Congress, to which
you have been pleased to allude. They
are the same, whether speaking to Con
gress here, or to the nations of Europe.
"Should your country be restored to
independence and freedom, I should then
wish you, as the greatest blessing you
could enjoy, a restoration to your native
land; but, should that never happen, 1
can only repeat my welcome to you and
your companions here, and pray that God's
blessing may rest upon you wherever your
lot may be east."
Remedy for Starlet Fever.
The following cure for this malignant
disease, is given in the Delaware Re
publican, by a physician:
MESSRS. EDITORS: —You will confer a
favor on some of your readers, at least,
by publishing this receipt for Scarlet Fe
ver ui its stages, and which will cure
nineteen cases out of twenty, if strictly
attended to ; this treatment although ap
parently simple, you will find a sovereign
remedy, and will save many of your little
ones from a premature grave, which is
almost sure to follow the use of calomel,
which universally tends to increase the
disease instead of curing it. Treatment
as follows:—(live a mild cathartic, such
as castor-oil or some gentle pills, every
two or three days, and when there is fever
present sponge the body with weak ley,
and give some simple tea to promote per
spiration, such as catnip, sage, balm, ;
and for the putrid symptoms give good
brewer's yeast, mixed with cold water;
one tablespoonfull of the former to two
tablcspoonfulls ol the latter, for children
ten or twelve years old, and younger ones
according to age; to he repeated from
three to five times a day ; ami use as a
gargle yeast and cream or milk, equal
parts, sweetened with honey, and gargle
the throat and mouth frequently with it;
and if the throat is much swollen, poultice
with yeast and pulverised slippery elm;
continue the above treatment until well.
I know, by many years experience, that
this is the best and most efliectual way to
cure the scarlet fever.

fioixo SIX MILES TO SEE WHAT A Sr\-
PAY SCHOOI, LOOKED UKK. —-A superin
tendent of a Sunday School in Alabama
says; —Early this spring, a bov came to
the school-room, who lived six miles oil.
lie was badly fixed, as is very common
with the children about here. I went to
him and asked him if lie would become a
scholar, lie lived too far oil", and had
only come over to see what a Sunday
school looked like, and if he liked it lie
would come again. On the next Sabbath
he came again, and was among the first
there, and he had brought another boy
with him 4 to see.' Will on the next
Sabbath four of the family, and others
from the same neighborhood, were there.
I got them to spell a lesson. This boy
was so pleased with our school, that he
went home and persuaded his neighbors
to have a Sabbath-school, and thev have
one, and only two out of twenty can read
and only one professogf of religion is
among them who can pray in public.
This boy has learned to read, and is now
one of the teachers ! —What the result
will be we cannot tell.
FIFE'S FAST DOERS. — Fife's last hours
are grand testing hours. Death tries all
our principles, and lays bare all our foun
dations. Vast numbers have been found
to act tiie hypocrite in life, who were
forced to be honest in the hour of death.
What atheists have owned their madness,
what infidels have denounced their prin
ciples, what worldlings have bewailed
their lolly when death approached ! Mis
givings of the heart that have been kept
secret through life, have come out in death;
and many who seemed all right and fair
lor glory, have had to declare that they
had only been self-deceived. It lias been
said, 4 men may net dissemble in death,'
hence the value ol dying testimonies. We
gather the last words; the last acts; the last
experiences ; and we treasure lliem up as
indubitable evidences in favor of, or
against the character of those that wore
their value as tests of character, and all
have felt their force.
