The wild streams leap with headlong sweep, In their curbless course o'er the mountains steep ; All fresh and strong they foam along, Walking the rocks with their cataract song ; , My eye bears a glance, like' the gleam on a lance, As I watch the waters dash, and dance ; And I burn with glee, for .I love to see, The path of anything that's free. :,The skylark springs with dew on his wings, And in the arch of heaven he sings, Trilla I trilla I 0, sweeter far, Than the notev that come thro' a golden bar, The joyouq bay of a hound at play, The caw of a rook in his homeward way; Oh, these shall be the music for me, For I love, I love, the path of the free. The mariner brave, in his bark on the wave, May laugh at the walls round a kingly slave ; And he whose lot is the desert spot, Has no fear'of an envious loe in his cot, The thrall and state at the palace gate, Is what my spirit bath learned to hate; And I burn with glee, for I love to see, The path of anything that's free. • THE OLD MAWS STORY. A THRILLING SKETCH I shall never forget the commencemeht of the temperance reformation, I was a child at the time, of some ten years of age. Par home had every comfort, and my parents idolized me their child.— Wine was often on the the table, and both my lath• er and mother frequently gave it to me in the bot tom of my morning glass. One Sunday at church, a startling announcement was made to our people. I knew nothing, of its purport, but there was much whipering among the the men. The pastor said on the next evening there would be a meeting, and an address upon the evils of intemperance in the use of alcoholic drinks. He expressed himself ignorant of the object of the meeting, And could not say what course it would be best to pursue in the matter. The subject of the meeting came up at our table after the service, and I qnsstioned my father about it with all the curious eagerness of a child. The whispeis, and words which had been dropped in my hearing, clothed the whole affair with a great mystery to me, and I was all eagerness to learn the strange thing. .My father merely said it was some scheme to unite church and state. The night came, and groups of people gathered on the tavern steps, and I hear,l the jest and the laugh, and saw drunken men come 'reeling out of the bar-room. I urged my father to let me go, but he first refused. Finally, thinking that it would be an innocent gtarification of my curiosity, he put on his hat and we passed across the green to the church. I remember well how the people appear ed as they came in, seeming to wonder what kind of an exhibition was to come off. In the corner was the tavern keeper, and around him a number of friends. For en hour the people of the place continued to come in, until there was a fair house full. . All were curiously watching at the door wondering what would appear next. The pastor stole in and took a seat behind a pillar un der the'gallery as if doubtful of the propriety of -being in church at all. Two men finally came in and went to the altar and took their seats. All eyes were fixed upon them, and a general stillness pervaded throughout the room. The men were unlike in appearance, one being short, thick set in his build; the other tall and well formed, The younger bad the manner and dress ot a clergyman,•a full round face, and a quiet, good natured . look, as he leisurely looked around over the audience. But my childish interest was all in the old man.• His broad, deep chest, and unusual height, looked giant-like as he strode slowly up the aisle. His hair was white, his brow deeply.,s,eamed with fur rows, and • around his handsome' mouth, lines ot calm'and touching sadness. His eye was black and restless, and kindled as the, tavern keeper ut tered a low jest aloud. His lips were compressed. and a c e' imson flush went and came over his pale cheek. One arm was off above the elbow, and there was a wide scar over his right eye. The younger finally arose and stated the object of the meeting, and asked if there was a clergy man present to open it - with a.: prayer. 'Our pastor kept his ,Seat, and the speaker him self made a short prayer, and then made a short address, at the conclusion calling upon any one present to make remarks. The pastor rose, under the gallery, and attacked the.poiitions of the speak er, using the arguments which I have often heard since, and concluded by denouncing those engaged in the new movement, as meddlesome fanatics, who wished to break up the time-honored usages-of good society, and injore the business of respectable men. At the conclusion of his remarks, the tavern keeper and his friends got up a cheer, and the cur-- rent of feeling was evidently against the strangers and their plan. While the pastor was speaking, the old man had fixed his dark eye upon him, and leaned forward as it to catch every word. As the pastor took his seat the, old man rose, his tall form towering in its symmetry and his chest swelling as he inhaled his breath through his dilated nostrils. To me, at that time, there was something awe-inspiring and grand trrthe appear ance of the old man as he stood with his toll eye upon the audience, his teeth shut hard, and a si lence.like that of death throughout the church. He bent his .gaze upon tE- tavern keeper, and that peculiar - eye lingered and kindled for half a moment. The scar grew red upon - his forehead and beneath the heavy eyebrows his eyes glittered and glowed like a serpent's. The tavern keeper quailed before that searching glance, and I felt a relief when the old man withdrew his gaze., For a moment he seemed lost in thought, and : then in a. low and tremulous tone commenced. There was a depth in that yoke, a thrilling pathos and sweetness which rivited every heart in the house before the first pe riod had been rounded. My father's attention had become'fixed on the eye of the speaker with an in terest which I had never before' seen him exhibit. I can but briefly remember the substance of what the old man said, though the scene is as vivid be fore me, as any that I ever witnessed. "My friends! I am a stranger in your village, and I trust I may call you friends. A new star has arisen, and there is hope in the dark night which hangs like a pall of gloom over our country."— With a thrilling depth of voice, the, speaker'locked his hands together and continued—"Oh! God, thou who lookest with compassion upon the post erring of earth's children, I thank thee that a brazen ser ' Pent has been lifted, upon which the drunkard can look and be healed; that a beacon has burst out upon the darkness that surrounds him, which shall guide back to honor and heaven, the bruised and weary wanderer." • ' It is strange what power there is in some voices. ' The speaker's voice was low and measured, but a tear trembled in every tone,.and before 1 ktew _ why, a tear dropped upon my, hand, followed by others like rain drops. The old man brushed one from his own eyes and continued: "Men and Christians! You have just heard that lam a va.rantrfanatic. 'I am not. As Godknows ' my own sad heart, I came here to do goal. Here me and be just." • . "1 am an oldman, standing..alone at the end Of ~ life'djourney, There is a deep sorrow en : my heart and tears in my eyes. I have journeyed: over a dark beaconlies ocean, .and -life's hopes. •have. been wrecked. Il.am :without friends, home ni kindred on earth ; and looked with longieg to the rest:of the -night oh:teeth: Without friends, kindred or' home! It was not once tor ' ' ""'•• ''''''' '•'• ' • • • No one could withstand the touching pathoit'llt • the old man I noticed a tear trembling on the lid of my'father's eye, and I no more felt ashamed of my own. No, my friends it was not so once. Away over the dark waves which have wrecked lny hopes, there is the blessed light of haypineis and home.- - I reach again convulsively for the shrines of the household idols that once were mine, now mine no more." The old man seemed looking away through fan cy upon some .bright vision, his lips apart and his fingers extended, I involuntarily turned in the direc tion where it was pointed, dreading to see some shadow invoked by its magic movement. "I once had a mother. With her old heart crush ed asiih sorrows, she went down to her grave. I . once had a wile, a fair, angel-hearted creature as ever smiled in an earthly home. Her eyes as mild as a summer sky, and her heart as faithful and true as ever guarded and cherished a husband's love.— Her blue eye grew dim as the floods of sorrow washed away its brightness, and the 'living heart I wrung until every fibre was broken. I once had a noble, a brave and beautiful boy, but he was driven out from the ruins of his home, and my old heart yearns to'know if he yet lives. I once had a babe a sweet tender blossom, but these hands destroyed it and it liveth with one who loveth children." "Do not he startled friends—l am not a mutder er in the common acceptation of the term. Yet there is light in my evening sky. A spirit mother rejoices over the return of her prodigal son. The wife smiles upon him who again turns back to virtue and honor. The child-angel visits me at nighfall, and I feel the hallowing touch of a tiny palm upon my feverish cheek. My brave boy, if he yet lives, would forgive the? sorrovvi- g old man for treatment which drove him into the world, and the Wow that maimed him for life. God forgive me for the ruin I have brought upon me and mine.' He again wiped a tear from his eye. My father watched him with a strange intensity, and a coun• tenance unusually pale and excited by some strong i was once a fanatic, and madly followed the malign light which led me to ruin. I was a fanatic when I sacrificed my wife, children, happiness and home, to the accursed demon of the bowl. I once adored the gentle being whom I injured 5,0 deeply, ”1 was a drunkard. From respectability and of fluence, I plunged into degradation and poverty.— I dragged my family down with me. For years I saw her pale (cheek, and her step grew weary. , left her alone amid the wreck of her borne idols and rioted at the tavern. She never complained, yet she and tbe children went hungry for bread." ..One New Year's night, I returned late to the hut where charity had given us roof. She was yet up, and shivering over the coals. I demanded food, but 'she burst into tears and told me there was none.— I fiercely ordered her to get come. She turned her eyes sadly upon me, the tears falling fast over her pale cheek. At this moment the child in its cradle awoke And sent up a tarnished wail, starting the de sparing mother like serpent's sting.' " We have no food, James—have had none for several days. I have nothing for the babe. My once kind husband, must we starve?" 'That sad pleading face and those streaming eyes, and the feeble wail of the child, maddened me, and I—yes I, struck her a fierce blow in the face, and she tell forward upon the hearth. The luriis of hell boiled in my bosoin, and with deeper intensity as I felt I had committed a wrong. I had never struck - Mary before, but now some terrible impulse bore me on, and I stooped down as well as I could tin my drunken state and clenched both hands in her hair." "God of mercy; „Tames!" exclaimed my wife, as she looked up in my fiendish countenance, you will not kill us—you will not harm Willie," and she sprang to the cradle and grasped him in her em brace. I caught her again by the hair and drag ged her to the door, and as I lifted the latch, the wind burst in with a cloud of snow. With a yell of a fiend, I still dragged her on and hurled her out into the darkness and storm. With a wild ha hal I closed the door and turned the button, her plead. ing moans mingled with the wail of the blast, and sharp cry of her babe. But my work was not yet complete." "I turned on the little bed where lay my older son, and snatched him from his slumbers, and against his half•awakened struggles, opened the door and thrust hint out. In the agony of fear, he called me by a name I was no longer fit to bear, and lock ed his fingers into my side pocket. I could not , wrench that frenzied grasp away, and with the cool -1 ness of a devil, as I was, shut the door upon the arm, and with my knife severed it at the wrist." The speaker ceased a moment and buried his face in his hands as if to shut out some fearful dream, . . and his chest heaved like a storm swept tea.,. My father had arisen from his seat, and as leaning forward, his countenance bloodless, arta t the lhrge drops standing out upon his brow. Chills crept back to my young heart, and I wished I was at home. The old man looked up, and I never have since beheld such mortal agony pictured upon a hu man lace as there was on his: "It was morning when I 'awoke, and the storm bad ceased. 'first secured a drink of water, and then looked in the accustomed place for Mary. As I missed her, for the first time a shadowy scene of some horrible nightmare began to dawn upon my wandering mind. I thought I had a fearful dream, but involuntarily opened the outside door with a shuddering dread. As the door opened, the snow burst in, followed by. the fall of something across the thresh-hold, scattering the anow, and strik ing the floor with a sharp, bad sound. My blood shot like red-hot arrows through, my veins, and I rubbed my eyes to'shnt out the sight. It was—it 0! G6d, how horrible! it was my own injured Mary and her babe, frozen to ice! The ever true mother had bowed herself over the child to shield it, and wrapped all her clothing around it, leaving her own person stark and bare to the storm. She had placed her hair over the face of the child, and the sleet had frozen it to the white - cheek. The frost was white in' its half-opened eyes and upon his tidy fingers. I know not what. became of my brave boy." Again the old man bowed his headland wept, and I all - that were in the house wept with him. My father sobbed like a child. . In tones of low and heart-broken pathos, the old man concluded: "I was arrested, and for long months I raved in delirium. I awoke, was sentenced to Jtrison for ten years, but no tortures could have been like those I endured within my own bosom. Oh, God, no ! I am.not a fanatic. I wish to injure no one. But while I live, let me strive to warn others not to enter the path which has been so dark and fearful a one to me. I would see my wile and children beyond this vale of tears." The old man sat down, but a spell as deep and strong as that wrought by some wizard's breath, rested upon the audience. Hearts could have been heard in their beating, and tears to fall. The old man then asked the peopla to, sign the pledge. My father leaped from his seat and snatched at it eager ly. I had followed him, and as he hesitated a mo ment with the pen in the ink, a tear fell from the old man's eye on the paper. "Sign it, sign it, young man. Angel's would sign it. I would write my name there ten thousand times in blood if it would bring back my loved and lost ones." My father wrote "Monximas 4IIDSON." The old man looked, wiped his tearful ey.es and looked again, his countenance alternately flushed with a red and death-like paleness. "It is—no it cannot be—yet how strange," mut tered the old man. "Pardon me, sir, but that was the name of my brave boy." My father trembled and held up his left arm from which the hand had been severed. They looked for a moment in each other's eyes, but reeled and gasped— "My own injured boy!" "My father!" They fell upon each othe:'s necks until it seemed that their souls would grow and mingle into one. There was weeping in that church, and 1 turned be wildered upon the streaming faces around ma. "Let me thank God for the great blessing which Vas gladdened my guilt-burdened soul," exclaimed the old man, and kneeled down, pouring out his heart in one of the most melting prayers I ever heard. The spell was then broken, and all eagerly signed the pledge, slowly going to their homes, as if loth to leave the The old man is dead, but the lesson he taught *his,grandchild on the knee, as his evening sun went dErn. without .a cloird, will never be forgotten,— ielerthticism has hist none of its fire in my man 'hood's heart. ' •'' • • ' CITY OF LANCASTER, T UESDAY MORNING, MAY 17, 1853, The Comet of 1856. The following interesting detaili respecting the comet, which is expected to make its appearance about the year 1856,aregivenby M.Rabinet, an em inent French astronomer, and member of the Acad emy of Sciences, in an article recently published. The Boston Traveller translates from the Courier des Etats Ifni: "This comet is one of the.grandeet of which his torians make mention. Its period of revolution is about three hundred years. It was seen in the years 104, 392, 683, 975, 1264, and the last time in 1556. Astronomers agreed in predicting its re turn in 1898, but it failed to appear—manque au rendez-vous, according to the expression of M. Rah inet—and continues to shine still, unseen by us.— Already the observatories begin to be alarmed for the fate of their beautiful wandering star. Sir John Herschel himself had put a crape upon his telescope, when a learned calculator of Middlebourg. M. Born me, re-assured the astronomical world of the con tinued existence of the venerable and magnificent comet. 'Disquieted, as all other astronomers were, by the non-arrival of the comet at the expected time, M. Somme, aided by the preparatory labors of Mr. Hind, with a patience truly Dutch, has revised all the calculations, and estimated all the actions of all the planets upon the comet for three hundred years rd revolution. The result of this patient labbr gives the arrival of the comet in August, 1858, with an uncertainty of two years, more or less, so that from 1856 to 1860 we may expect the great comet which was the cause of the abdication of the Em peror Charles V.,.in 1556. 'lt is known that, partaking of the general super stition, which interpreted the appearance of a comet as the forerunner of some fatal event. Charles V. believed that this comet addressed its menaces par ticularly to him as holding the first rank among sovereigns. The great and once wise, but now %Ta iled and shattered, monarch had been for some time the victim of cruel reverses. There were threaten ing indications in the political if not in the physi cal horizon of a still greater tempest to come. He was left to cry in despair, 'Fortune abandons old men.' The appearance of the blazing star seemed to him an admonition from heaven that he must cease to be a sovereign if he would avoid a fatality from which one without authority might be spared. It is known that the Emperor survived his abdica tion but a little more than two years. "Another comet, which passed near ns in 1835, and which has app-ared twentyfive times since the year 18 before christian era, has been associated by the superstitious with many important events which have occurred near the periods of its visitation. "In 1066 William the Conqueror landed in Elig- land at the head of a numerous army about the time that the comet appeared which now bears the name of Halley's comet. The circumstances was regarded by the English as a prognostic of the vic tory of the Normans. It infused universal terror into the minds of the people, and contributed not a little towards the submission of the country after the battle of Hastings, as it had served to discour age the soldiers of Harold before the combat. The comet is represented upon the famous tapistry of Bayeux, executed by Queen Matilda, the wife of the Conquer. The same comet in 1456, threw ter ror among the Turks under the command of Ma homet 11, and into the ranks of the Christians du ring the terrible battle of Belgrade, in which forty thousand Mussulmans perished. The comet is de scribed by historians of the time as "immense, ter rible, of enormous length, carrying in its train a tail which covered two celestial signs (60 degrees,) and producing universal terror. Judging from this portrait, comets haVe singularly degenerated in our day. It will be remembered, however, that in 1811- there appeared a comet of great brilliancy, which inspired some superstitious fears. Since that epoch science has noted nearly eighty comets, which, with few exceptions, wele visible only by the aid of the telescope. Kepler, when asked how many comets he thought there were in the heavens, answered, "as many as there are fish in the sea." BELUTIFVL THOUGEIS.—God has sent angels into the world, whose office it is to refresh the sorrows of the poor, and to lighten the eyes of . the diconso late. And what greater pleasure can we have than that we should bring joy to our brother; that the tongue should be tuned to heavenly accents, and make the weary soul listen for light and ease, and when he perceives that there is such a thing in the world, and in the order of things, as comfort and joy, to begin to break out of his prison of sorrows, at the door of sights and tears, and slowly begin to melt into showers and refreshments—this is glory to thy. voice;and enjoyments fit for the brightest, angel. So I have seen the sun kiss the frozen earth, which was bound up with the images of death, and the br e ath of the north, and the waters break from their enclosure and melt with joy, and run in useful channels; and the flies to rise from little graves in the walls, and dance a little while in the air, to tell that joy is within, and that the great mother of creatures will open the stork of her new refreshments, become useful to mankind, and sing praises to her Redeemer. So is the heart of a sor rowful man : under the discourse of a wise comfort he breaks from the despair of the grave, and the fetters and chains of sorrow ; he blesses God, and He blesses thee, and feels life returning. fl Don't be afraid to marry a woman because she is a little cross and snappish now and then.— Remember the best apples are produced by engraft ing on a crab. A 4 vvoman that scolds and gets fe verish, may be rather trying to the patience, but she is always a divinity of cleanliness. Indeed, it is her love of neatness that makes her fret. If Mrs. Sourby can no more care for parlor than that good natured piece of dimity, Mrs. Flatulence, she would .care no more about dirty boots than she does. But as she differs in this respect from her good natured neighbor, a soiled dog on her front door step gives her a rush of blood to the head that can only be subdued by resort to hot water and a broom stick. Again we repeat, don't be afraid of a girl because she scold. JNO. S. WALKER, ' +AU Ulla VIM 1111 1 ILLR , OFFICE—Four doors above Swope's Tavern, East King Street, LANCASTER, PA.

TAKE PARIICULAR NOTICE Dr. J • addresses all those who have injured themselves by private and improper indulgencies, that secret and solttary habits, which ruin boll, body and mind, unfitting them for either busbies or society. These are some of •the sad and meltricholy ef fects produced by early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrita. Witty, Derangement of the Digestive Functions, ,ieneral Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c Mentally.—The Martel effects on the mind are much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Confusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo ding, Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of Solitude; Timidity, &c. are sonic of the evils pro duced NERVOUS DEBILITY Weakness of 'the system, Nervous Debility and premature decay generally arises from the destruct ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to the healthful existence of man, and it is the young who are the must apt to become its Victims from in ignorance of the dangers to which they subject themselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis led with respect to the cause or source of disease in their eons and wards. Alas! how of:en do they ascribe to other causes the awing of the frame, Palpitation of the Elea Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious Mental effects. such as loss of Memory, Depres• stun of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when the truth is they have been caused by indulging Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive tc. both Body and Mind.

Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided Youths been made, who have been suddenly resto red to health front the devastations of those terrific maladies which result from indiscretion. Such persons, before contemplating MARRIAGE, should reflect that. a sound mind and body are the ,niest necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey thro' life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan choly reflection that the happiness of another be. comes blighted with our own.

Another Scientific Wonder! • GREAT CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA ! D': ~ E. KOUGI '®Pi's The True Digestive Fluid or Gastric Juice PREPARED from Rennet, mitt. fourth Storn rich of the Ox, after directions of BARON LIEBIG: the great Physiological Chemist, by J. S. !lough:, ton, M. D., Philadelphia, Pa. "Phis is a truly wonderful remedy for Indigestion. Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Constipa tion, and Debility, curing after Nature's own method, by Nature's own Agent,,the Gastric Juice. Half iP teaspoonful of Pepsin, infused in water, will digest or dissolve, Five Pounds of Roast Beef in about two hours, out of the stomach. Panels is the chief element, or Great Digesting Principle of the Gastric Juice—the solvent of the food, the purifying, preserving and sumulatiug agent of the stomach and intestines. It is extracted from the digestive stomach of the On, thus term ing an Artificial Digestive Fluid, precisely like the ' natural Gastric Juice in its chemical powers ' and furnishing a complete and perfect substitute for it By the aid this preparation, the pains and evils of Indigestion and Dyspepsia are removed, just as they would be by a healthy skomach. It is doing wonders for dyspeptics, curing eases of Debility, Emaciation, Nervous Decline and Dyspeptic Con sumption, supposed to be on the verge of the grave The scientific evidence upon which it is based, is in the highest degree curious arid remarkable. SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE ! Baron Liebtg in his celebrated work on Anima Chemistry, says: 'An artificial Digestive Fluid, analogous to the Gastric Juice, may he readily prepared,from the mucous membrane of rite stom ach of the calf, in which various articles. of food, as meat and eggs, will be softened, changed, and digested, just in the same manner as they would be in the human stomach.' Dr. Pereira, in his famous treatise on " Food and Diet," published by Fowler & Wells, New York, page 35, states the same great fact, and describes the method of preparation. There are feW higher authorities than Dr. Pereira. Dr. Combs, in his valuable writings on the " Physiology of Digestion," observes that "a dim inution of the due quantity of the Gastric Juice, is a prominent and all-prevailing cause of Dyspepsia)" and lie states that "a distinguished professor of medicine in London, who was severely tamed with this complaint, finding everything else to fail, had recourse to the s Gastne Juice, obtained from the stomach of living animals, which proved com pletely succensfull.' Dr. Graham, author of the famous works on "Vegetable Diet," says: "It is a remarkablefact in phgsiology, that the stomachs of animals, mace rated in water, impart to the fluid the property of dissolving no, , ous articles-of food, and of effecting a kind of artificial digestion of them in nowise diffrfeent mru the natural digestive process." . AS A DYSPEPSIA CURER, ,Dr. HOUGHTON'S PEPSIN has produced the most marvellous effecis,in curing cases.of Debility; Emaciation, Nervons Decline, and Dyspeptic Consumption. It is impossible to give the details of cased in the limits of' this advertisement ; but authenticated certificates have been given of more than Two Hundred Remarkable Cures, in Phila delphia, New York and Boston alone. These were nearly all desperate cases, and the cures wore not only rapid and wonderful, but permanent. It is a great Nervous Antidote, and particularly useful for tendency to Billious disorder,'Lwer Complaint, Fever and Ague, or badly treated Fever ana Ague, and the evil effects of Quinine, Mer cury and other drugs upon the Digestive Organs, after a long sickness. Also, for excess in eating, and the too free use of ardent spirits. It almost reconciles health with intemprance. OLD STOMACH COIUPLAINTS.
