" Our Life is as a shadow."
The - dream was sweet, but could not last;
The vision bright, but soon was past;
The morning sun was glorious too,
But soon it changed its golden hue,
And, robed in clouds of threatening lorm,
Betokened fast approaching storm.
Thus falsely youth's bright beam has shone
And lured the thoughtless votary on,
Till, like a transient meteor light,
It disappeared in sorrow's night.
And hope's fair visions too are flown,
That once in heavenly brightness shone,
And smiles that rest upon the cheek
Of health and happiness could speak—
All, all are fleeting, false and frail ;
The sunken eye, the cheek so pale,
The quickened pulse, the shortened breath .
Proc aim the swift approach of death.
But let the earthly glories die,
Nor wish t. em back in all their power,
To smile upon the parting hour,
While pleasures new, and joys untold,
The opening gates of /leaven unfold.

THE TURNING POINT
Henry Irving was a native of Eastern Virginia .
His only inheritance—a warm heart, med ium in
tellect, a sociable nature, fine personal appearance,
and a liberal share of that peculiar feeling general.

dants from the " first families' of the old. Dominion.
At the age of twenty-tour be left hia native State
and in the fall of 1829. engaged as a salesman in
the largest dry goods house in F—, a flourish
ing town on the Ohio river. Having acquired a
liberal education, a cultivated taste,and gentleman
ly deportment, he soon became a favorite in the
social circle. °
Although possessed of some of the private and
social virtues of human nature, Irving was not free
from its vices; he loved the wine cup and card ta
ble vices not thatas reprehensible now. Cust m the
treat sanctioner of human error, at that day rec
ognized these as the bonds of fraternal brotherhood
and public sentiment had not yet elevated the stan
dard of social morality above them ; consequently.
Irving's fondness for these vicious pleasures, instead
of operating against his popularity served as an
introduction to the highest circles.
His companions were of that wild, reckless.
whole souled, pleasure seeking class of young met ,
who throw care to the dogs, and with mirth, wit
and jollity, drift smoothly, yet rapidly down tha'
; stream whose source is crowned with choicest flow
ere and perfumes of sensual pleasures, and, with a
dark and wailing surge, plun.2es into eternity. His
most intimate and confidential friend, was John
Hawkins, a young lawyer of promising talent and
pleasant address, but destitute of correct moral prin.
ciple ; was an avowed infidel, and entertained what
he considered a manly contempt for virtue and piety
was fond of whist, euchre and good brandy, and
was withal what the world denominated a clever
fellow."
It was about a year, I think, after Irving came
to P—, that Emma Carson returned from Phil.
a s'elphia, where she bad been sent to complete her
education—one too, that had well developed her
natural strength of mind she now stood ready to
make her debut with credit to herself, her teachers.
and frjerds. With a fine form, expressive features,
a ctithrated mind, and most bewitching hazle eye,
it was not strange that Emma soon became the
envy and admiration of society, nor that Irvin g , be.
fore many months, paid frequent visits to Mr. Car
son's.
An intimacy was formed, which, on Irving's part
soon ripened-into a strong attachment. Emma tv,.s
made conscious of the fact by his .marked atten
tions, and hints thrown out by some of her friends;
it was to her, under the circumstances, a source 01
deep regret. She treated him with etiquette and
kindness, received his visits in a courteous, friendly
manner, but nothing more, and however much she
might admire his conversational powers and agree
able manners, a recent knowledge of his general
character would prevent her from desiring to en
courage his new-born feelings. What course should
she pursne ? It was not long until she and Irving
met at a party. Irving escorted her to the table
'equested the pleasure of drinking a glass of wine
w.ltb her. She politely, yet firrrry declined. Irving
insisted on the ground of custom ane friendship. I
"Neither custom or friendship, Mr. Irving, has'
the right to demand a sacrifice of principle," said
Emma, "and I should deem myself unworthy the,
name of woman or friend, should I grant such a re
quest and lure you on in the utter ruin of body and
'soul!"
"Why, Miss Carson, 1 am really surprised to
hear you speak with so much earnestness in this
matter, and more especially at what I must con
aider an unnecessary reflection."
" Mr. Irving any young man who indulges in ar
dent spirits even to a moderate degree, and that re-
.stricted to the fashionable circle, is in my opinion
io danger of ruin; and I vssure you I- will never
kupwingly, directly or indirectly countenance the I
evil; real furthermore, no one, especially a young
man, whose habits are not confirmed, can retain
any esteem and his wine."
" But instances can be adduced in which your
rigid discipline has defeated its own end by driving
to desperation."
" Granted, that there are such isolated cases--
what do they prove, the evils of an illiberal moral- I
ity, or the reckless depravity of the human heart ?
It is on such occasions as the present, that vice too
often receives the approving smile of wealth, fash
ion and influence, and virtue her deepest wounds."
Miss Carson, 1 fear you place more stress on
the influence of your sex than the subject will justly
warrant."
t• Not at all, sir. Tell me, if any of the present
company of young men shall be laid in a drunkard's
grave, to whose influence may it in reason he at
_ tributed3 Will you tell me the influence of her
who fills his glass to-night will not add weight and
speed to his descent?"
Irving and Emma were standing apart from the
company. Their conversation being in a low tone
-- or - voice was not overheard among the general con
fusion of tongues and dishes.
A. couple of ladies passed over to them and chi
' ded them for being unsociable. Irving
hod set the
un-tasted on the window -seat, which one of
the ladies' observing, inquired why their glasses
wan not empty. Irving laughingly remarked that
he had just discovered Miss. Carson had conscien
tious scruples, when one ea , d, ,, wait till I get anoth
er glass, and Kate and I will drink with you."
The glass wei, brought, and the three drank
with great glee, twitting Emma Oo her " puritan
iern." The conversation changed, and nothing fur
ijor was said on the subject that nitht. Enough

of scut that would have enabled him to rise above
those influences that hung like an incubus about
him.
If he had then possessed what ekery young man
so much needs in the hour of trial and temptation
—the coun - setand sympathy of virtuous friendship,
bow different would have been his fate, but he did
not. He sought counsel and syMpathy from Haw
kins. "
." Why, Irving," said Hawkins, one evening as
they sat in their room talking the matter over," It
isn't possible you'd make such a d---d fool of
yourself as to give up to the whining of a school
girl ? A pretty how-dy'e-do, indeed, when a man
must renounce his manhood, acknowledge his ina
bility to govern himself, and all for a woman's ca
price! These saintly philanthropists must have an
exalted opinion of our self-respect and virtue, as they
term it, they generously offer to prop us up with
written contracts and pledges! Are we to have
our social intercourse circumscribed, cut and cor
nered to meet the views of every still-necked reli
gionist 'l'
" What a most exemplary pattern of human
meekness you would make, Irving, to place your
leading strings into the hands of Emma Carson. sur
render all claims of independence and say—" Em
ma dear, I cheerfully submit to your superior wis
dom and experience; whatever you say ieright.—
What in the devil is there about that girl to make
such a fuss about? There's plenty as good look
hig, as smart and hot troubled with such saintly
notions.',
And thus, with ridicule and sneers was the last
hope of reformation destroyed. That night Irving
and Hawkins attended an oyster supper at the
- Globe Coffee House," where they met some hall
dozen boon companions. Wine and wit flowed
freely. Irving drank deep to drown the voice or
conscience and the conflicting emotions that stirred
his soul, and that night for the first time of his life
Henry Irving was put to bed drunk!
From that hour his career was downward. His
visits at Mr. Carson's were soon discontinued. At
the last interview Emma urged him by all he held
I dear and sacred—by his hopes for time and eterni
ty—by every argon' ent and inducement that a
warm and earnest heart couldcommand-to change
his course of life, and for a moment'it roused the
remains of manhood within him, but there was a
chain of influeures = a power of indulgence that
even the eloquence of hie heart's love could sever
lln left her with a promise of reformation, and
shortly after left P— for.the South.
• About six years after the foregoing incidents
two merchants from P— were returning from
New Orleans where they had been purchasing gro
ceries. The day before the boat arrived at Louis
ville, as they were seated on the guards, engaged in
conversation, an unusual commotion was observed
among the hands on the main deck.
The two gentlemen alluded to, with several oth
er, went below to ascertain the cause of the distur
bance. They were told that one of the firemen had
a fit (it delirium tremens, and that the hands were
trying to confine him. They stepped back into toe
engine room, and there lay Henry Irving tied to a
bale of cotton, writhing and foaming in all the ag
onies of that dreadful malady. When the boat
reached Louisville he was placed on a dray and
conveyed to the hospital, where the next day he
ended his life, calling down the most bitter curses
on him whose ridicule and sneers had silenced the
pleadings of virtue and love, and drove him to ruin.
The Strawberry Boy.
The following simple and unvarnished story is
strictly true. It is given as a horticultural item.
to illustrate the progress in early life. of a young
horticulturist, in that branch of industry.
Fourteen years ago last May, on a Saturday a'
noon, a boy called at my dwelling house, to sell
strawberries. He was of slender form, apparently
about fourteen years of age. with a bright- and in
telligent countenance. The fruit was beautiful and
tempting. but I had bought enough at market in
rife morning for dinner and for tea, and refused to
purchase more. He observed that his strawberries
had just been picked from the vines, and would
keep for the Sunday. My wife was much pleased
.with his gentle and pleasant manners, and decided
at.once to purchase, and engage a daily supply
for the season. Upon inquiry we learned that, with
his father_and younger brother, he cultivated vege
tables and fruit to sell in the Cincinnati market. on
a small place near Newport, Kentucky; that he had
a taste for horticulture and for books, and that no
effort was spared to improve his knowledge in both.
In summer he cultivated the soil, and in winter the
mind.
For three years we were regularly supplied by
this boy, from the earliest to the latest period of
the season, with strawberries freshly gathered, of
fife quality, and at moderate prices; then with rasp.
berries in succession
The fourth year we missed him on his accus
tomed round, and feared that we should see him no
more. My wife felt disappointed, and cried a good
deal about it.
. .
He was so intelligent and obliging, so gentle and
engagine - b in his manners that she had taken a great
fancy to him. Besides all this, where could we sup
ply our table with such fine strawberries, brought
daily to the house? Various inquiries were made,
but nothing could be beard of him. She only knew
his christian name; the other, if she had ever heard
it, had escaped her memory. She recollected to
have observed an occasional hectic flush on his
cheek, and feared that - the lell destroyer, consump
tion, had marked him for his own. Poor boy, said
she, we shall never see him again; he has run his
race, and will soon be forgotten. .
Years have passed away, and we had ceased to
speak of him, when one day a young man of gen
teel ap earance called 'at my store, and, presenting
his hand, asked if I remembered him. In the hurry
and bustle of business life, one forms so many ac
quaintances that it is not easy to recollect every
name or face at first sight. I. therefore, answered
that I did rot. He replied, that when a boy he
used to supply us with strawberries, and then he
I
inquired kindly for my wife nd children.
He stated that, by diligen in his horticultural
pursuits, he had saved some oney, and was then
interested in a small store in he neighboring town.
I was delighted to see him, a d to hear of his pros
perity, and gave him a cord al invitation to my
house, but he pleaded want of time and departed.
On reaching home in the evening, my wile was
much pleased to hear that her young friend the
Strawberry Boy was living and well, but rather I
slighted by his not calling to see her.
Two years ago, when I saw him again, he was
comparatively rich, worth some fifty thousand dol
lars—and married the daughter of a late distin
guished lawyer—had purchased and was then resi
ding in his fine mansion, in one of the cities imme
diately opposite our town. Occupied in business of
public trust and responsibilities, he lives respected
and esteemed by all his neighbors. He is well
known to many of our citizens of Cincinnati.—
With all this prosperity, he has had.good sense to
remember that he was once the " Little Strawberry
Boy," and no doubt, he feels prouder of being the
architect of his own fortune, from that foundation,
than if he had inherited ten times as much from
his ancestors.—Horticulturist.
MEN On THE Rrvoronfox.—Gen. Greene, in his
dispatches, after the battle of Eutaw, says: " Hun
dreds of my men were naked as they were born."
Judge Johnson, in his life of Green, says: "Poster.
ity will scarcely believe that the bare loins of many
men who carried death into the enemies camp, at
the Eutaw, were galled by their cartouch boxes
while a 'fold of a rag or a tuft of moss protected
the shoulder from the same injury from the mus
ket." Gen. Green, says in his letter to - the Secreta
ry of War We have three hundred men with

that they can be put on duty only in cases of a

"THAT COIIITPRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR. COMMANDS TRH, GREATEST BZWARD."--Buchanan.
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 1853.
Female Intrepidity.
It was in the year 1832, towards the close of No
vember, a light snow, mingled with sleet, was
whirled about by the wind, and pierced through
every crevice of a little road-side inn, situated be
tween. Hornberg and Bottwell, on the frontier of
the duchy of Baden.
Two travellers, driven by the bad weather to the
shelter of this humble hostlery, were forgetting
their hunger and weariness in the comforts of the
hearty repast of smoked beef. The hissing and
roaring of a large stove contrasted agreeably in the
travellers' ears with the loud moaning of the north
wind without, and disposed them still more to the
enjoyment of the good things within.
The inn keeper and his wife, had, for their only
domestic, a young girl of Baden whom they had
brought up from childhood. Krettel, for such was
her name, was a host in herself, house-keeper and
- maid to her mistress, cook in the kitchen, valetde
chambre to the stray visitants in the best room,
and groom in the stable—the hardy, active and
good-humored German girl fulfilled all the duties
usually shared by a large establishment ut servants.
Ten o'clock struck, and the travellers having lin.
ished their supper, drew nearer to "the group that
had collected round the stove, Father Hoinirk,
the minister, their host, and sortie neighbors who
enterecrby chance. The conversation turned on the
fearful and murderous events of which the neigh-
boring forest had been the scene, and each one had
his own story to tell, surpassing the rest in horror.
Father Hoff'kirck was among ihe.foremostin ter
rifying his-audience by the different adventures. all
more or less tragical. The worthy father had jest
finished a horrible story of robber—quite the /'d
euvr ein his way. The scene of the legend was a
little more thin a gun shot from the inn door; it
was a tradition, unfortuntely ; but an ancient gib
bet which still remained on the identical spot, gave
to the narration an air of gloomy veracity which
no one dared to question. This place was, in truth,
made formidable throughout the province as being,
it was said, the readezvous of a troop of bandits,
who held there, every night, their mysterious meet•
ing.
All the guests were still under the influence of
the terror which Memory of Falh-r Hoff !Dreg had
caused, when one of the travellers before mention
ed, offered to bet two ducats that no one dared to
'et oil at that moment to the fatal spot, and trace
wi'h charcoal, a cross on the gibbet. The very
idea of such a proposition increased the fears of the
company.
A long silence was their only reply. Suddenly
the young Krettel. who was quietly spinning in the
corner, rose tip and accepted the bet, asking her
master's consent at the same time. He and his
good wife at first refused, alleging the loneliness of
the 'place, in case of danger; but this fearless dam
sel persisted, and was at last suffered to depart•
, Krettel only requested that the inn door should
be left open until her return, and taking a piece of
charcoal, to prove on the morrow that she had re
ally visited the spot, she rapidly walked toward the
gibbet. When close beside it, she still. fancying ,
she heard a noise; however, after a moment of hes
itation, she stepped forward ready to take flight at
the least danger. The noise was renewed, K.ee:•.el
listened intently, and the sound of a horse's feet
struck upon her ear. Her terror prevented her at
first from seeing how near it was to her—that ob•
ject of fear was fastened to the gibbet itself. the
took courage, darted forward and traced the cross.
At the same instant the report of a pistol showed
her she had been noticed. By a movement as swift
as thought, she unloosed the horse, leaped on the
saddle and fled like lightning. She was pursued ;
but redoubling her speed, she reached the inn yard,
celled out to them to close the gate, and fainted
away. When the brave girl recovered, she told her
story and was warmly congratulated on her cour
age
and presence of mind. All admired the horse.
which was of striking beauty. A small leathern
valise was attached to the saddle; but Father HotT
kirch would not stiller it to be opened except in
the presence of the Burgomaster.
On the morrow, which was Sunday, the innkeep
er, his wife, and their guests, all set out for the
neighboring town, Where they intended, after the
service, to acquaint the Burgomaster with the last
evening's adyentures. Krettel, left sole guardian of
the house, was advised not to admit any one until
her master's return. Many a young girl would
have trembled at being in laer,situation ; but this
young servant girl having seen the party disap
pear, fearlessly set about her household duties, sing
ing with a light heart and a clear voice some pious
hymn which her kind mistress had taught her.
An hour had scarcely passed when there came a
knock on the outer door. It was a traveller on
horseback, who asked leave to rest for a little while
Krettel at first refused ; but on the promise of the
cavalier that he would only breakfast and depart,
she agreeeto admit, him. Besides, the man was
well dressed and alone, so there was little fear from
him. The stranger wished himself to take his horse
to the stable, and remained a long time examining
and admiring the noble steed which had arrived
the previous evening in a manner so unexpected.—
While breakfasting, he asked many questions about
the inn and its owners, inquired whose was the
horse that attracted his attention so much; and, in
short, acted so successfully, that the poor girl, in
nocent of all deceit, told him her late adventure,
and ended by confessing she was all alone. She in
stantly felt a vague sense of having committed
some imprudence, for the sfilinger listened to her
with singular attention, and seemed to take a
greater interest than simple curiosity in what she
was saying. The breakfast was prolonged to its
dtmost. At last, after a few unimportant questions,
the traveller desired the servant girl to bring him a
bottle of wine. Krettel rose to obey; but on reach
ing the cellar, found that the stranger followed her,
and turning around she saw the glitter of a pistol
handle through his vest. Her presence of mind
failed her not at this critical moment. When they
had reached the foot of the stai - s, she suddenly ex•
ringuished the light, and stood up against the wall.
The man, muttering imprecations, advanced a few
steps groping his way. %revel, profiting by this
movement, re-mounted the step, agile and noise
lessly, closed and bolted the door upon this pre
tended traveller, and then barricaded herself in an
upper chamber, there to await her master's arrival
Krettel had not been many minutes ensconced,
in her retreat, when a fresh Knocking sounded at
the inn-door, and she perceived there two ill-look
ing men, who asked her what had become of a
traveller who had been there a short time before.
From their description of his appearance, the
young girl immediately discovered that the person
sought for was the stranger whom she bad locked
in the cellar; nevertheless she thought it most pru
dent to make no admission on the subject. On her
refusing their request to open the door, the two
men thieatened to scale the wall. The poor girl
trembled with fear; for she knew that they could
easily accomplish their project by means of the
iron bars fixed to the windows of the lower story.
In this perplexity, Krettel looked around her, and
her eye fell on a musket which hung from the wall,
a relic of her master's younger days. She seized
it, and pointing the muzzle out of the window,
cried out that she would fire on the first man who
attempted to ascend.
. The two robbers—for that they were, could no
longer be doubted—struck d,ur.tb at the sight of
fire-arms where, expecting no resistance, they
brought no weapons, and confounded at such intre
pidity, went away uttering sihe most fearful mena
ces, and vowing to return again in greater force.—
In spite of her terror our heroine remained firm at
her post. An hour passed away in this critical po•
sitio , at last the girl perceived her master and
bure.
t it
frien coming in sight, accompanied by the e
mast r and some officers.
T e brave Krettel rushed to the door, and her
fear. mounting almost to despair, gave place to the
liveli st joy. To the wonder at d admiration of all
she r lated what had happened; the burgoknaster
espe all . ) , lavished on her the warmest praise for
her talc conduct. The officers went in search
of th, robber, whom Krettel had imprisoned with
so noblo addre s s and presence of mind. After a
shard fesistance he was bound and secured; and

Virgin Mary and Saviour.
Mrs. Jameson has given in her Legends of the
" Madonnas," descriptions of the -persons of the
Virgin and Saviour!' The former is extracted from
the history of Niceponus Callistus, on the author
ity of Epiphanius, who had himself derived it from
more ancient autho. ity. The latter is in sub tance
from the famous letter Purporting to have been
written by Lentulus to the Roman Senate. It is
very well established that these portraits are the
works of pious monks of the middle ages, descrip
tive of real or imaginary pictures prevalent in
those days. Even as such, however, they may
have value, for these pictures of the pencil or im
agination perchance have authority from the tra
ditions of the church. However it may be, these
descriptions are the only authority for the portraits
now generally - received, and stamped in Bibles,
Prayer Books, &c.
"The Virgin was of middle stature; her face
oval; her eyes brilliant, and of an olive tint;
her eyebrows arched and black; her hair was of
pale brown ; her complexion fair as wheat. She
spoke little, but she spoke freely and affably; she
was not troubled in her speech, but grave, courte
ous and tranquil. Her dress was without ornament,
and her deportment was nothing lax or feeble.—
Mrs. Jameson mentions the general belief, in which
she apparently concurs, that the Saviour resembled
his mother in person, for, she observes, " It is ar
gued Christ had no earthy father, therefore, he
could only have derived his earthly lineaments -1
from his mother. All the legends assume that
the resemblance between son and mother must
have been perfect. Kugler, in his "Handbook of
Italian Painting," gives two descriptions of the per
son of the Saviour. The first is from a letter of
Lentulus to the Roman Senate, originally written,
about the end of the third century, out not found
until the eleventh ; the second by John of Dames-,
I ens, dates from the Sth century.
In the former, Christ is described as a " man or
stately form, dignified in appearance, with a coun
tenance that inspired veneration and which whoso
looked upon it may love, as well as fear. His hair
curling, rather dark and g'ossy, flows down upon.
his shoulders, and is parted in the middle after the
manner of the Nazarenes. The forehead is smooth,'
and very serene, the countenance without line, or
spot, of a pleasant complexion, moderately ruddy.
The nose and mouth . faultless, the beard thick and;
reddish, like the hair, not long, but divided, the eyes.
bright, and 'of varying colors." John of Damas
cus describes Jesus as of stately growth, with eye
brows joined together; beautiful eyes
' large nose,
curling hair; somewhat stooped; in the 'bloom of
life ; his beard black, his complexion olive, like'
that of his mother, with long fingers, &c. The'
description given by Lentulus agreed with the ac
count of Epiphanius of the person of the Virgin.—
It is the European, and one might almost say, the
Greek type, and in this she as the sanction of the
great masters of art.—Neui York Pout.

not tepid ones, are particularly apt to prove delite
rious. Few persons, indeed. can employ them at
all with advantage. Dr. Tilt, an English physician
Or eminence, oho has written as admirable work
on the best means of preserving health, gives it as
the best means ot preserving health, gives it as his
personal experience that hot baths produce tempo
rary plethora, head ache, and a sense of weakness
amounting almost to fainting. These are, he thinks
the general results also. He advises, therefore, that
hot baths should be avoided, unless when a phy
sician has explicitly directed their use.
Tepid and cold baths, to be employed according
to the con-titution and habits of the particular in
dividual, are the baths to which most should confine
themselves. Nervous persons are esp-•cially bene.
fired by the tepid bath, which seems to have a di
rect sedative influenc. on the nervous system, prob
ably by absorbing. according to Dr. Tilt, the mor
bid irritability arising from an undue development
of the mind at the expense ot the body. Napoleon.
after excessive fatigue, either • mmtal or physical,
was accustomed to take a tepid bath, and, if possi
ble, indulge awhile in sleep; and he was often heard
to declare, that, without such a sedative, it would
have been impossible for him to have preserved his
general health. Alter his exhausting return from
Russia, subsequent to the memorable conflagration
of Moscow, he went immediately into the bath be
tore transacting business, and then slept, without
waking, for eighteen hours; and when he rose he
was as fresh as ever. The celebrated Diana ot Po
ictors, one of the most beautiful women France ever
gave birth to, and who maintained her charms long
beyond the usual term, owed the preservation of her
loveliness principally to to the daily, but judicious
use ot the bath. Thus we see that ordinary health,
the capacity to endure great fatigues alike of mind
and body, and the maintainance of personal beauty
in the fair sex, depend, more or less, on the discrim
inating, but habitual employment of the bath.
The tepid bath is, perhaps, the due most genes
ally suitable, The temperature of a tepid bath
should range from 68 deg. to 86 deg. Fahrenheit.
While the temperature is kept below blood heat,
the body slowly increases in weight, partly owing
to the absorption of water, partly to the dimunitiOn
of insensible perspiration. In a tepid bath, heated.
from 82 deg. to 86 deg. Fahrenheit, it was ascer
tained, by Chossat, that the pulse descended from
sixty pulsations to thirty-eight ; and it was clear
ly the soothing effect thus produced, which rendered
the tepid bath so delicious to the irritable nerves of
Napoleon. Dr. Tilt recommends the tepid bath
after long railway journeys, excessive wanking or
riding, or at periods of nervous irritability, superin
duced by any cause.
Cold baths are favorites with many persons, es
pecially those of robust frames and high health.—
But it is never wise to remain long in a very cold
bath. On coming out, if the stay has not been tno
protracted, the body feels as it entering into a war
mer atmosphere, because also the sensibility of the
skin is blunted. Sometimes headache supervenes.
This is a sign of a partially diseased skin, and a
want of re-action, causing the blood to remain con
centrated on the internal organs, where it was driven
by the shock of the cold wwer.
The best, perhaps, the only test, of the kind of
bath proper for each particular individual, is ex
periment. Opinionated persons, ignorant of them
dui operandi of the bath, always maintain that the
sort adapted fur themselves is the description suit
able for all. We know some individuals, who
swear, as it were by cold baths, and others who are
just as obstinate in behalf of tepid ones. A phy- -
•sician, familiar with the habits and constitution of
the patient, can generally tell what kind of bath
should be used, even without experimenting.
GETTING Manttian.—A down , east exchange
says that the sensitive young ladies in his part of
the country have lately held a convention—ladies' .
conventions are all the go now—the subject
matter to be considered being the most delicate
method of committing matrimony. Some propos
ed steam and some the electric telegraph ; but both
these meglods presented difficulties that could not
be surmounted. At length one of the two young
ladies who bad been quietly confabulating in a cor
ner, rose and said that she knew that when the
dreaded moment of matrimony arrived she should
faint, if some-method were not devised by which
the terrorsof the dreadful trial could be momenta
rily buried in forgetfulness; she therefore proposed
the application of chloroform, and the suggestion
was received with loud applause from the assem
bled spinsters. This is decidedly better than the
plan of the bashful man, who wanted to elide into
matrimony by degrees.. A .white.handkerchiet

The - True Digestive Fluid or Gastric Juice
_ _
PREPARED trom Rennet, or the fourth Stoot , .
ash of the Ox, after directions of BARON LIMO:
the great Physiological Chemist, by J. S. Hone.;
ton, M. D., Philadelphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indigestion,
Dyspepsia. Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Constipa
tion, and Debility, curing after Nature's own
met hod, by Nature's own Agent, the Gastric J nice.
Bait a teaspoonful of Pepsin, infused in water,
will digest or dissolve, Five Pounda of Roast Beef
in about two hours, out of the stomach:
PEPSIN IS the chief element, or Groat Digesting
Principle of the Gastric Juice—the solvent of the
food, the purifying, preserving and stimulating
agent of the stomach and intestines. It is extracted
from the digestive stomach of the. Oit, thus term
ing an Artificial Digestive Fluid, precisely like the
natural Gastric Juice in its cheniical powers, and
furnishing u complete and perfect substitute for it
By the aid of this preparation, the peens and . evils
of Indigestion and Dyspepsia are removed, just as
they would be by a healthy stomach. It to doing
wonders fur dyspeptics. curing cases of Debility,
Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and Dyspeptic Con
sumption, supposed to be on the verge at the grave
Elie scientific evidence upon which it in based, is
in the highest degree curious sad rematkable.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
Baron Liebig in nis celebrated work on Anirtia
Chemistry, says: ''An artificial Dicestive Fluid,
analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be readily
prepared from the mucous membrane of the stom
ach of the call, in which various articles of loud,
as meat and eggs,
will be softened, changed, and
digested, just in t he same manner as they would
be in the human stomach."
Dr. Pereira, in hia 'famous treatise on Food and
Piet," published by Fowler & Wotle, New York, •
page 35, states the same great fact, and describes
the method of preparation. There are few higher
authorities titan Dr. Pereira.
Dr. Combe, in his valuable writings on the
" Physiology of Digestion," observes that '•a dim•
minion 01 the due quantity of the Gastric Juice it
a prominent and all-prevailing cause in Dyspepsia,•'
and he states that "a distinguished pruiesaor al
medicine in London. who was severely afflicted
with this complaint, finding everything else to tail,
had recourse to the Gastric Juice, obtained trom
the stomach of living animals, which proved com
pletely successfull.'
Dr. -Graham, author of the famous works on
. .
"'llege , able Diet," says : " It ice remarkable fact
in phcsiology, thaethe stomachs of atinnals, mace
rated in water, impart to the fluid the property of
dissolving va..ons articles of food, and of effecting
a kind of artticial digestion of Ahem in nowise
, liffr.feettt mro the natural digestive process."
AS A DYSPEPSIA CURER,
Dr. OUGHT( iN'S PEPSIN has produced the
most marvellous effects, in curing cases of Debility,
Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and Dyspeptic
Consumption. It is impossible to give the details
of cases in the limits of this advertisement ; but
authenticated certificasni have been given of more
than Two Hundred Remarkable Cures, in Phila
delphia, New York and 8051011 alone. These
were neatly all desperate cases, and the cures were
not only rapid and wonderful, but permanent.
It is a great Nervous Antidote, and particularly
useful for tendency to Billions disorder, Liver
Complaint, Fever ar or badly treated Fever
anti Ague, -and t a evil effects of Quinine, Mer•
eery and other urugs upon the Digestive Organs,
alter a lor.g siekn,.ss. Also, for excess in eating,
and the too free use of ardent spirits. It almost
reconciles health with imemprance.
OLD STOMACH COO/PLAINTS.
There is no form of Old Stomach Complaints
which it does nut scent to reach and remove at
once. No mailer how bad they may be, it gives
instant relief ! A single dose removes all the un
pleasant symptoms; and it only needato be repeated
short for a time to make these good effects perma
aent. Purity of Blood and Vigor of Body follow at
once. It in particularly excellent in cases of Nausea,
Vomiting, Cramps, Soreness of the pit of the
Stomach, distress after eating, law, cola state•of
the Blood Heaviness, Lowness .1 Spirits, Des
