NY OLI VEIL WENDELL HOLIdE9
Slowly the mist o'er the meadow wan creeping,
Bright on the dewy buds glistened the sun,
When from his "couch, while his children were
sleeping,
'n Rose the bold rebel and shouldered his gun.
Waving her golden veil
Over the silent dale,
Blithe looked the morning on cottage and spire;
Hushed was his parting
While from his noble eye,
Flashed the last sparkle r f liberty's fire.
On the smooth green where the fresh leaf IS spring
ing,
Calmly the first-born of glory have met,
Hark! the death-volley around them is ringing I
Look I with their life-blood the young grass is
wet
Faint is the leeble breath,
Murmuring low in death,
" Tell to our sons how their fathers have tied ;"
Nerveless the iron hand,
Raised for its native had, -
Lies by the weapon that gleams at his side.
Over the" bill-aides the will knell is tolling,
From their far hamless the yeomanry come ;
As through the 'florin-clouds the thunder-buret
rolling,
Circles the beat of the musterin silrem,g
Fast on the soldier's path, •
Darkens the waves of wrath,
Long have they gathered and loud shall they lull
Red glares the musket'S flash,
Sharp rings the rifle's crash,
Blazing and clzinging from thicket and wall.
Gaily the plume of,tlie horseman was dancing,
Never to shadow hiscold brow again;
Proudly at morning the war-steed was prancing,
• Reeking and panting he droops on the rein;
I'alo is the lip of scorn,
Voiceless the trumpet-horn,
'Porn is the silken-fringed red cross on high ;
Many a belted breast.,
Low on the turf shall rest,
Ere the dark hunters the herd have past by.
Snow-girdled crags where the hoarse wind is ra
ving,
Rocks where the weary floods murmur and wail,
Wilds where the fern by the furrow is waving,
Reeled with echoes that rode on the gale;
For as the tempest thrills
Over the darkened hills,
For as the sunshine streams over the plaint-,
Roused by the tyrant band,
Woke all the mighty land,
Girdled for battle from mountain to main.
Green be the graves where her martyrs are lying;
Shroudless and tombless they sunk to their rest—
While o'er their ashes the starry fold flying,
Wraps tine prOud eagle they roused from his
nest.
Born on her northern pine,
Long o'er the lbalning brine,
Spread her broad banner to storm and to sun;
Heaven keep her ever free,
Wide as o'er land and sea,
Floats the fair emblem her heroes.havnn won.
A Story of a Riding Whip.
A most dramatic story connected with the ri
ding whip (badine it was called then) took place
during the reign of Louis Treize, which filled the.
whole country with dismay, and caused* the death
of one of the most loyal and devoted of the kings
tollowers. Two of his Majesty's equerries, the
Couut de Marillac and the Seigneur de Bourville
were both deeply attached to a young orphan girl,
the daughter of the Baron de Faudoas, and one of
the greatesCheiresses about the court. The young
lady was a great favorite and protegee of the Queen
and always accompanied her majesty either in one
of the royal carriages or on horseback, whenever
the court removed during the summer progress to
the different places in the environs of Paris. The
favor she en?oyed at the hands of her royal mistress
had rendered her indifferent to marriage; for it ap
peare that her Majesty, growing anxious at behold
ing the increasing ill-will and strife between the
King's two equerries, had frequently urged Mad'lle
de Faudoas to make her choice between the two,
or by accepting some one else, to put an end to the
hopes which evidently reigileri equally with each.
Mad'lle de Faudoas was persuaded by her royal
mistress to consider over the matter, asking only
for a apace of seven days to determine what course
she would pursue; during which time it was under
stood that neither of her suitors was to press his
suit privately, or in any way to take undue advgn
tage of the other.
The cOurfwas then staying in retirement at Fon
-taineblead, and, no amusement but that of the chase
being encouraged for the moment, it was thought a
most auspicious time for the reflection which the
young lady desired. Moreover, the rivals, but sel
dom meeting, and only doing so in virtue of the of
fice which each of them held, would have but few
opportunities ofdisplaying any of that mutual irri
tation which had been so distressing to their friends
and a source of so much anxiety whenever they
chanced to be thrown together at the assemblies of
the court. However; "Phomme propose et Dieu dis
pose." Six days of the term had already expired,
and the seventh had arrived, while still the once' ,
tianty of the choice of Alad'lle de Faudoas was as
gpeat as evei: On this fatal seventh day the Queen
contrary to her usual custom, proposed to accom
pany his Majesty's hunt to the forest, and requested
Mad'lle de Faudoal, who was a first-rate' horsewo
man, to attehd her. The day had passed off well,
the two rivals always keeping as near to the heir- '
ess as their office would allow, but, being bound by
the laws of honor, neithering of them venturing to
bestow the smallest mark of attention upon the ob
ject of their love.
The company was returning from the wood
weary and harassed with the longday's chase. The
ladies and gentlemen of the royal suite were riding
somewhat carelessly and promiscuously behind their
Majesties, and by the time the company had reach
ed the Gate of Swans, which opens from the forest
to the wood belonging to the palace, Mad'll de Feu
does found herself; to her astonishment, riding be
tween M. de fibrillae and M. de Bourville. Just at
that moment, as they were passing through the
gate, the ladp's horse stumbled, and, in the endeavor
to hold him up, she dropped her riding whip. In
an iustant, the two rivals, by a simultaneous move
ment, wheeled round to where it lay in the middle
of the road, both together jumped from their horses
to pick it up, and alas! both were successful in
raising it from the ground.
A fearful presentiment seized upon the soul of
Madlle de Faudoas as she beheld the movement,
and she uttered a loud cry as she beheld the riding
whip snatched from the hand of M. de Marillac,
and triumphantly held aloft by M. de Bourville,
who galloped gayly towards her, and, halt alight
ing, with one foot in the stirrup, bare headed, and
bowing to the very ground, he placed the little be
tasseled badine in her hand, she accepted the court
sey with,a gracious smile, little dreaming that the
fairy-like weapon had been acting with the deadly
power of Asmodeus' wand, and had conjured up a
whole legion of fierce and frightful demons, whose
strife was to be quenched by blood alone. Her pal
frey enterecitthe court-yard. and M. de Yourville as
sisted her to alight; she looked around for M. de
Marillac, and perhaps felt annoyed that he was not
there to assist her likewise. She did not know that
he was standing still beneath the gateway where
she beheld him last, his whole soul tossed with
fierce contending passions, his teeth still grinding
with impotent and deadly rage, his faee livid as that
of a corpse, excepting one spot alone • where a red
line was drawn across the cheek as though by a
burning iron. He had been compelled to lean for
support against the gateway, while, unconscious of
all around, he had suffered the steed he had been
riding to wander down the read, where he was care
lessly nibbling the grass which grew on the edge
of the forest, and stumbling now and then over the
briule which hung loosely trom tits neck. Presently
the silence was disturhed by the approach of a bevy
of young courtiers who, laughing, talking, and dis•
puting, came rattling along the causeway from the
chateau. At their head was M. de Bourville, his
hat set jauntly on one side, and his glove dangling
from his baud in a most careless and unabsorbed
fashion which contrasted most strongly with the
pale and haggard countenance and deadly expres
sion of M. de Marillac. The latter roused himself,
however, as the group drew near—he advanced tow
ards M. de Bourville.
"I knew you would come back," said he, with
a gasping effort, " bully and coward as you are ;
knew you could not mistake my reason for await
ing here;" and as he spoke, his rapier flew from the
scabbard, and flashed in the setting sum
M. de Bourville answered not; he colored slightly
at the epithets by which he had been addressed, but
was drawn aside by his comrades, amongst whom
were some good friends of M. de Marillac's who
had come to see fair play and justice done. It was
the Count de Cambise, the cousin of Mane de Fau
doas, who acted as spokesman on the occasion, and
said that, hi the name of M• de Bourville, before the
assemblage of gentlemen, he had come to expre s
his great regret at the foolish accident which had
happened while struggling for the posession of the
badine, and to say that M. de Bourville was ready
at the very momant to offer every apology worthy
of one gentleman to another; that, considering the
situation in which they stood, any quarrel or hos
tile encounter would tender them both supremely
ridiculous in the eyes of the whole court; that M.
de Bourville was so deeply sorry for the accident,
that he could wash away—
Ay , let him do so, then fiercely interrupted
hi. de Alarillac; " let him wash the stain from my
cheek., it it wore in troth an accident, as he says,
there can be no shame in the act."
M. de Bourville started and bit his lip, he looked
fiercely at M. de Cambise, at whose suggestion this
strange idea had entered the brain of M. de Maril
lac; perhaps he hesitated for as instant, but he had
somehow fancied that he bad gained ground upon
his livid by the afternoon's adventure, and began
to mink it would be foolish to lose his advantage
for the sake of a silly quarrel, and so, with a forced
laugh, endeavoring to turn the whole affair into a
joke, he consented to wash the mark of disgrace
from the face of M. de MAllac, and to declare
most solemnly the' while that it was occasioned by
the purest accident. and that nothing was ever fur
ther from his thoughts than gny intention of insult
or offence.
The idea was eagerly seized upon by the bystan
ders; for, with courtier-like curiosity and love of
gossip, they were one and all far more interested
in learning the decision of Mad'lle de Faudoas than
in witnessing a duel such as they were wont to be
hold every day of their lives, and they crowded
round de Marillac, applauding him for his good na- .
tore, and suggesting the necessity of having the re
paration executed immediately. A small brook,
clear as the purest crystal, runs near to the edge of
the wood at this very spot, and thither was M. de
Marillac led bytis joyous comp .moos. He sat him
self down upon one of the moss-grown stones which
abound throughout the place, but be spoke not, nor
did that fearful expression of hate once leave his
countenance. In spite of himself M. de Bourville
trembled as he gazed, but,neverthelea., he behaved
as became a gentleman, and put as good a face up
on the matter as possible. He undid the sash froth
his waist and dipped It in the brook, and then pas
sed it oveN the cheek of M. de Marillac, where the
red line mode by the banine of Madlle de Faudoas
was still slightly visible.
Gradually the laughter of those around had sub
sided into silence, for there was something awful
in the stern, unmoved gaze with which M. de Ma
rillac surveyed the hurried, half frightened manner
in which his adversary proceeded. When the cer
emony was over M,de.Bourville carefully dried the
place, and replaced the scarf around his waist. He
would have smiled, but there was that in M. de
Marillac's eye which prevented him; and when the
latter arose, the whole assembly drew back in awe."
" is all trace of the insult departed ?" exclaimed
the Count, as he gazed around.
There was a simultaneous affirmation, lorall felt
uneasy.
" Can the world tell of my disgrace? Is the mark
of my shame thoroughly washed away ?"
'lt is—it is!" shouted the company with one ac
cord.
M. de Marillac looked around once more, and
then slowly drawing from his left belt the heavy
handled hunting whip he wore in virtue of his of
fice, he drew it with a terrible blow across the face
of M. de Bourville, exclaiming, " So much shall
aot be said of this—the world shall behold it for
ever; and 1 defy the powers of heaven or hell to
make one wash the stain away!'' He threw down
the whip, and stood with folded arms," gazing at
his enemy, from whose brow the blood was pont-
Mg in torrents, and who stood overcome by sur
prise at the unexpected attack. The adversaries
fought of course on that very spot, and on that very
night, by the light of the moon; and in spite of the
shock which M. de Bourville had experienced, he
fought with such desperation that his rival fell
dead upon the green sward, just at the very moment
when Mad'lle de Faudoas had confessed to the
queen that her choice was made, and that she had
written to M. de Marrillac ! Med"lle de Faudoes
retired to a convent alter the catastrophe, and M.
de Bourville fulfilreil the Marillac's prediction by
carrying the scar of his chastisement to the grave.
•. Bourville le Balafre," no longer pleasant to ladies
eyes, withdrew to his province, and lived a seclu
ded life in remorse and obscurity.;
R heumatism
As this disease is very common, and is a very
painful one, any useful information on the subject
may be of benefit to some of our readers. The fol
lowing is part of an article on the subject from the
"Dollar Newspaper," Philadelphia:
"Rheumatism is a disease of the blood, and in
order to effectually remove the disease, the rheu
matic poison, (perhaps the urate of soda) must be
eliminated from the circulation. The principal de
purating organs are the emunctories of the kidneys,
the lungs, and the skin. Through the skin and the
kidneys alone can the rheumatic poison be removed
and far more through the latter than the former.—
Every man afflicted with rheumatizm should have
a long bath tub, in which he can completely im
merse his whole body. In such a tub (made of
tin perhaps) he should every morning take a warm,
weak, ley bath, rubbing the surface briskly with a
flesh-brush till it glows finely. This bath should
be used for four or five days, arid then, for a few
days, a strong salt water bath (warm) should be
substituted. This is the best external treatment
known to the profession, and the great trouble is
that it is so little known to them. Warm flannel
should, of course, be constantly worn•by rheumatics.
But the great remedy for rheumatism, after all,
is diuretics; and among the best of them is the mea
dow saffron (colchicum autumnale.) The tincture
of colchicum seeds is generally used. The brandy
tincture is the best for decidedly nervous rheumat
ics; the wine tincture to those of h firm nerve fibre.
Of either of these tinctures, 25 drops three times a
day, for an adult, till it operates as a slight laxa
tive (when the dose should be lessened) is about
the right quantity. Alter using the tincture oicol
chicum for ten or twelie days, the solution of io
dide of potasium (of the strength of one ounce to
the pint of rain water,) half a teaspoonful twice a
day will speedily complete the cure. An experi
ence of years in the treatment of all grades
of rheumatism has established the correctness of
the above treatment. have never seen a case
that would not yeild to its powers. Sometimes
acids or alkalies (according as the urinary deposit
is white or red,) may be used with fine effect.—
The best acid that can be used in rheumatism is
the cirtic, and the best form is that of sour lemon
ade.
The "Lynchburg (Va.) Express" says:A gentle
man wishes us to publish the following for the re
lief of humanity. He says he has known a number
of cures made by it, and all of them in a short time:
Half an ounce of pulverized saltpetre, put in half a
pint of sweet oil; bathe the parts affected, and a
sound cure will speedily be effected.
pre would state that.the.first extract is decided
ly orthodox, and the information should be exten
sively circulated. The wine of colchicum effects a
cure upon some persons subject to gout in a very
short period. We cannot say anything respecting
the practical effects of the latter receipt, but it is
so simple that it can easily be tried, and that with

CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 28, 1853.
The Marriage Relation.
The following sound, clear, and christian views
of the marriage relation, are taken from, a popular
work entitled " Nlartyria, a Legend," published in
this city a few years ago, from the pen of a gifted
clergyman :
"Of earthly relations, those of husband and wife,
parent and child, friend and neighbor, master and
servant, constitute much the largest portion of man's
happiness; and, are more important, any one of
them, than all others together. It is in the obser
vance, the refinement, the strengthening of these
commonest, these greatest, these primal relations
that happiness is increased, and not in the inordi
nate accumulation of money, the acquisition of
empty fame, or in luxurious indulgences.
‘• Happiness is to be attained in the accustomed
chair by the fire-ide, more than in the honorary oc
cupation of civic office; in a wife's love, infinitely
more than in the favor of all human beings else;
children's innocent and joyous prattle, more than in
the hearing of flattery; in the reciprocation of lit
tle and frequent kindnesses between friend and
friend, more than in some occasional and dearly
bought indulgence ; in the virtue of contentment,
more than in the anxious achievements of wealth,
distinction and grandeur; in change of heart more
than in change of circumstances; in full, firm trust
in Providence, more than in hoping for fortune's fa
vor; in a growing taste for the beauties of nature,
more than in the lee simple inheritance of whole
acres of land; in the observance of neatness and
regularity, household virtues, rather than in the
means of ostentatious, and therefore rare display ;
in a band-maiden's cheerfulness, more than in the
improved tone of politics; and in the friendship of
our next door neighbor, more than in the conde
scending notice of my Lord Duke.
Happiness, then, must be sought for in simplici
ty, and in costliness; in the perpetually recurring,
more than in the rare; in abiding peace, rather
than in temporary raptures; the next after the well
of living water which springeth up into everlasting
life in no source else so sedulously, as in those (sun
tainewhich are fed by the never-tailing love o; rel
atives and friends.",
Again he says:
There are some persons who have their imagina
tions so excited by the possibility of some distant
good, as to lose all taste for the little delights which
husband and wife, master and servant, parent and
child, may devise and reciprocate hourly, almost.
Which is the luckier man, he that can be happy
in the smile of his wife, or he that must wait, wait,
wait for the smile of fortune, and wait in vain, per
haps?
In this world there is nothing of such value as
affection ; and the most trifling expression of it,
even though it be but a single word of endearment,
is in the best ears a pleasanter sound than that of
gold pieces.
' The price of a virtuous woman is far above ru
bies,' Solomon says. Were. there allotted to any
one a female figure of solid gold, as a companion
for life, who is there but would beg that it might
be of silver only, that it might speak? and then
of inferior metal still, if it might only feel? and,
then, that it might be like himself, of earth,
might it only accompany him about? And yet,
Ohuman inconsistency 1 husbands be many of them
heedless of home joys, as not being an increase of
wealth.
Man is created to be a living soul, and not to be
an alchemist; and the real want of his heart is
sympathy, affection, love and not the philosopher's
stone. It would not be more unreasonable to trans
plant a favorite flower out of black earth into
gold-dust, than it is for a person to let money-get
ting harden his heart into contempt, or into impa
tience of the little attentions, the merriments, and
the caresses of domestic life. Boston Journal.
The Dream of Happiness
Often had I heard of happiness, but was igno
rant of it myself. Aly anxious heart inquired, is
it all a phaltom—a thing of fiction, merely, and not
of fact? I determined to travel through the earth
and see if it were in the possession of any mortal.
I beheld a king on his stately throne. Subjects
obeyed his laws. A multitude of servants went
and came at his bidding. Palaces of the most
costly materials were at his service, and his tables
groaned under the richness of their burdens. He
seemed furnished with all he could desire, but his
countenance betrayed that he was not happy.
I saw a man of wealth. He resided .in an ele
gant mansion, and was surrounded by every luxu
ry. But he lived in constant fear of losing his pos
sessions. He was continually imag ining that all
his property would be consumed or t aken from him.
Thus picturing to his own mind the miserable con
dition of himself and lamily, he was not satisfied
with his present wealth. The more he had the
mine he desired. Surely here was no happiness.
1 looked upon a lovely valley, surrounded by
hills. In the midst of this stood a neat little vil
lage. Gurgling streams came murmuring down
the hill-sides. The lambs frolicked merrily about.
Cattle grazed in the verdant pastures, and now and
then went to quench their thirst at the nearest
spring or purling brook. Everything seemed plea
sant. I thought certainly here is happiness. But
I visited the inhabitants of this beautiful spot, and
saw they were not happy. They had not lived
peaceably among themselves, and murmured be
cause great wealth was not their portion, or that
they were not born to his station.
1 beheld a fair young creature, blessed with health
and beauty. She was the life of the ball-room, and
received the most constant attentions. ' But I per
ceived that she Is as not truly happy. These things
could not satisfy the longing of her heart.
I saw a true and heartfelt Christian. He was
constantly exercising love to his fellow-men, and
doing all in his power to extend the knowledge of
Jesus Christ and Him crucified. He trusted not to
the vanities of this life for happiness. He sought
not the world's riches, but laid up treasures in Hea
ven. His soul was at rest, and at peace with God,
and with mankind. Although he experienced
many trials both in public and private, still he was
cheerful and content with his lot. He only, of all
these, was possessed of true happiness.
A Mother's Prayer.
A weather-beaten sailor, on making his home-•
ward passage, as he doubled the stormy Cape, en
countered a dreadful storm. The mother had heard
of his arrival outside the Cape, and was awaiting
with the anxiety a mother alone can know, to see
her son. But now the storm had risen, and, as ex
pected, when the ship was in the most dangerous
place. Fearing that each blast, as it swept the rag
ing deep, might howl the requiem of her son, with
faith strong in God, she commenced praying for his
safety. All - this moment news came that the ves
sel was lost.
The father, an unconverted man, had, till this
time, preserved a sullen silence, but now. he wept
aloud. The mother observed, "Itis in the hands
of Him who does all things well," and again, in a
subdued and softened spirit, bowed, commended her
son, and her partner in an audible voice, broken on•
ly by the bursting of a tall heart, to God.
Darkness had now spread her mantle abroad, and
they retired, but not to rest, and anxiously- waited
for the morning, hoping, at least, that some relic of
their lost one might he found.
The morning came. The winds were hushed,
and the ocean lay comparatively calm, as though
its fury had subsided since its victim was no more.
At this moment, the little - gate in front of their
divelliug turned on its hing es. The door opened—
and their son, their lost loved son, stood before
them. The vessel had been driven into one of the
many harbors on the coast, and was safe. The
father rushed to meet him. His mother, hanging
on his neck, earnestly exclaimed:
" My child, how came you here ?"
" Mother," said he, as the tears coursed down his
sunburnt face, "I knew you'd pray me home!"
What a spectacle! A wild,.reckless youth ac
knowledging the efficacy of prayer! It seems that
he was aware of his perilous situation, and that he
labored with the thoughts—" My mother prays—
Christian's prayers are answered, and I may be sav
ed." This reflection, when almost exhausted with
fatigue, and ready to give up in despair, gave him
fresh courage, and with renewed effort, he labored
tilt the harbor was gained.
Christian mother, go thou and do likewise. Pray
for that son who is likely to be wretched in the
storm of life, and his prospects blasted forever. He
may be !raved.
Pattern Wives.
lII=
Mrs. Violet was one of your pattern wives; never
laced her boots without consulting her husband .
Her dress maker always stood, Scissors in hand, till
be had turned over in his mind the relative advan
tages of flounces and tucks, boddices and basket
waists. Mrs. Violet was merely an echo of Mr.
Violet; her voice was soft and low; her motions
slow and proper; and she hung on his arm, and
cuddled up to his side in a manner convincing to
the most skeptical that she was 'the weaker vessel."
Now I suppose you think Mr. Violet was mas•
ter of his own house. St. Peter! no more than you
are ! There was a look in the corner of that little
meek creature's eye, that was as good as a loaded
musket; and Mr. Violet fetched and carried accord
ingly. Not that she ever raised that musical voice
above a sighing whisper; no, indeed! she left that
to the strong minded monster women, who never
read this passage in John Milton--"He for God
only, she for God in him." 'Nevertheless, Mrs. Vio
let's knowledge-of the world was confined entirely
to the length of her apron string; still it was always
"husband," and "dear Violet," even when the poor
wretch knew that his life wasn't worth two cents,
did he abate "one jot or titile" of his matrimonial
loyalty.•
What gave me convulsions was to hear her defer
o his opinion in company, and then to see him
fetched up in the middle of a sentence, at a gentle
reminder from the toe oilier slipper under the ta
ble!
Every night Violet stepped into the confession
box, never daring to swerve a particle from the
truth; so fully was he impressed with The idea of
Mrs. Violet's clairvoyance. How he tended the
baby, and tied the children's pinafores! how he
sewed on missing buttons, when the blinds were
closed ! How lovingly Mrs. Violet looked over his
hymn-book in meeting! how sweetly she smiled
when she offered him the cricket! how touchingly
she turned to her husband to reply for her, when a
neighbor asked her a question. How he didn't
know any more than you do the contents of his let
ters till she had inspected the same How his best
coat and vest were locked up on Sunday,night at
su.tdown, lest he should be tempted to make him
sell for some other Violet—how he had to eat "pick
ed-up dinners," on the full conviction that the roast,
turkey allowance had gone to her milliner's. How
Tommy had a "soldier cap" made of the Evening
Transcript, before his paternal could get a birds-eye
view of it. How Mrs. Violet gave him private tu
ition in putting on her shawl affectionately, which
exhibition was to come off in public the first favor
able opportunity. How all the humbugged, keen
sighted (?) public remarked, Mr. and Mrs. Violet?"
How Mrs. Violet died one day, and how her hus
band drew a long breath and took a vow to find
her antipodes if she existedn terra firma, and how
he married a saucy little beauty, who cuffs his ears
in public, and loves him like ten thousand in pri
vate; who minds her baby and darning needle, and
leaves him in undisturbed possession of his liberty
and his ledger. Happy Violet! he believes, with
me, now in blue eyes and Paradise.
A GREAT SLEEPER.—The Rochester Democrat
gives the subjoined account of a Rip Van Winkle
in that neighborhood :
Our attention was called yesterday to a most ex
trayrdinary phenomenon. A full grown man, six
feet two inches tall, 37 years of age has slept for
nearly five years, with only occasional and brief
intervals of wakefulness. The name of this man,
subject to so remarkable a suspension of the ordi
nary faculties of the race is Cornelius Broomer.—
He is the son of a farmer living in the town of
Clarkson, in this county, in whose family only this
single and singular instance of somnolency has ever
occurred. The subject of notice first fell into this
long sleep on the 19th of June, 1848, and since
that time has been awake, at different periods, from
a few hours to four months at a time. It is re
marked that when he comes out of this catalepsy,
he appears to have no knowledge of the lapse of
time, or of circumstances taxing place while he
sleeps. The fit comes upon him instantly, without
so far as to know any warning. His eyes close,
his jaws are set, his muscles contract, and his whole
frame is rigid, so that if standing, he continues in
that attitude partly bent over; and it it is not easy
to pull him down. He has confirmed in this con

Various 'experiments are tried to restore him to
consciousness, without effect. The man sleeps on,
lives, eats, retains perfect health, with a pulse at SO,
and without variation. When asleep, he may be
placed upon his feet, and he will stand for days to
gether, as he has been known to do for three days
and nights in succession. In order to feed him, it
is necessary to pry open his firmly set jaws; and
in that manner but little food is introduced into his
stomach. He is not, however, much emaciated,
keeps his natural color, and appears entire.
ly without disease, excepting that which produces
his strange sleep. When he awakes, he comes out
of his trance suddenly, his rigid muscles relax at
once, he asks for meat or drink, and eats voracious

to regard it as an imposition, just as any active
man would receive an intimation that he was con
sidered sluggish.
Study of History,
We have sometimes thought that the study of
history was nst sufficiently cultivated in our schools
hnd academies. Indeed a student seldom, unless
incidentally acquires a more definite idea of history
than he gleans from the classics; and a youth
whose studies are confined to the different branches
of English letters, generally leaves school with but
vague and unconnected notions of ancient or mod
ern history.
The advantages which are derived from the study
1 of history are immense—but they do not seem to
be properly ,appreciated. History has been em
phatically termed " the looking glass of the world "
—lt reflects all the actions of mankind and brings
to our view the act of distant and receding ages.=
It gives us a prospect of human affairs—it shows
us the tumults, changes, wars, and' convulsions of
empires—the politics, religion, virtues, and vices of
individuals and nations—it furnishes us with pat
terns to imitate and examples to deter.
By studying history, a man may grow wise at
the expense of the studies of other men. He may
thus visit, without travelling, all the habitable parts
of the globe. He may converse with the sages of
the olden time. He may revel at Babylon with
Alexander the great, or sip black broth at Lace
&email with the pupils of Lycurgus. He may ac
company Atilla, the scourge of mankind, on
his devastating routes, or look in upon Peter of
Russia, while devising plans to improve the condi
tion of his barbarous subjects. He may go forth
with Columbus to dicover a new world—or join
Napoleon and his numerous hosts, in attempting to
to enslave kingdoms. In a word, familiar se,
quaintance with history will give a man a certain
knowledge of mankind, which every one should
possess It is an important branch of education,
which should not be overlooked. It will excite to
virtue and deter from vice. It will multiply and
enlarge a person's ideas, ar.d stirrinlate to noble
deeds.—Boston Journal.
- Vout'', Age, Style, Taste, Beauty
_l_ and Fashion.—The seasons of, life should be
arranged like those of the year. In the spring of
youth, when all is lovely and gay then as the
green cover is spread on all the face of smiling na-,
tare, in brightness and beauty, so let the dresspar
take of the season. "Fine taste, as well as fashion,
decrees the necessity or nicely adapted garments
to age, circumstances and seasons. The man
whose head is silvered with age, who feels not the
blood of youth dancing warmly in his veins, should
not run into extremes of diet's, nor yet should he
permit his clothing to be se far behind the times as
to render him ridiculous.] There is a becoming
fashionable dress, suitable for the age and seasons
of life as well as the seasons of the year. You can
be suited in handsome style in clothing that is well
and fashionably made, of good materials that tvill
fit well and become the figure and season, at the

DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges of the United States and the greater part of
whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon
don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect
ed some of the most astonishing cures that were
ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the
ears and Wend when asleep,great nervousness, being
alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with
frequent blushing, attended, sometimes, with de
rangement of mind. were cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE
Dr. .1. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by private and improper indulgencies,
that secret and solitary habits, which ruin both
body and mind, unfitting them for either busines
or society.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ef
fects produced by early habits of youth, viz t
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
bility, Derangement of the Digestive Functions,
General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c
Mentally.—The feartul effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Contusion
of ideas, ,Depression of Spirits,Evil of Forebo
ding, Aversion of Society, Sel Distrust, Love of
Solitude, Timidity, &c. are some of the evils pro
duced-
NERVOUS DEBILITY
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and
premature decay generally arisen 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 most apt to become its Victims from,
an 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 sons and wards. Alas ! how often do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the Hear:, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious '
Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres•
Edon of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when
the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to
both Body and Mind. Thus are swept from ex
istence thousands who might have been of use to
their country, a pleasure to their friends, nn orna
ment to society.
WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS
immediately cured and full vigor restored.
Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided
youths been made, who have been suddenly resto
red to health from the devastations of those terrific
maladies Which result front indiscretion. Such
persons, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the
most 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. Let no false delica
cy prevent you, but apply immediately.
He who places hirnsell under the care of Dr
J 0 H NsTo N, may religiously confide in his hon
or as a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon his
skill as a Physician_ . _
TO STRANGERS.
The many thousands cured at this institution
within the last ten years, and the numerous im
portant Surgical Operations performed by Dr. J.,
witnessed by the Reporters of the papers and ma
ny other persons, notices of which have appeared
again and again before the public,
is a sufficient
guarantee that the afflicted will find a skilful and
honorable physician.

themselves Physicians, and apply to DR. JOHN

The True Digestive Fluid or Gastric Juice
Tip REPARED from Rennet, or the fourth Stom•
ach of the Ox, after directions of Binort Liman;
the great Physiological Chemist, by J. S. Reuel
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
method, by Nature's own Agent, the Gastric Juice.
Half a teaspoonful of Pepsin, infused in water,
will digest or dissolve, Five Pounds of Roast Best
in about two hours, out of the stomach.
PEPSIN IS the chief element, or Great Digesting
Principle of the Gastric Juice—the solvent oiths
food, the purifying, preserving and stimulating
agent of the stomach and intestines. It is extracted
from the digestive stomach of the:Gx, thus form

of Indigestion and Dyspepsia are l'emoved, just as
they would be by a healthy stomach. It is doing
wonders for dyspeptics, curing cases 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 and remarkable.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
Baron Liebig In his celebrated work on Anima
Chemistry, says: ''An artificial Digestive Fluid,
analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be readily
prepared from the mucous membrane of the stom
ach of the calf, in which various articles of food,
us 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 hie 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. Combe, 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 he stales that "a distinguished protesaor of
medicine in London, who was severely afflicted
with this complaint, finding everything else to fail,
had recourse to the Gastric Juice, obtained from
the stomach of living animals, which proved com
pletely successfull."
Dr. Graham, author of the famous works on
"Vegetable Diet," says: "It is a remarkable fact
in phgsiology, that the stomachs of animals, mace
rated in water, impart to the fluid the property of
dissolving vs, , MIS articles of food, and of effecting
a kind.ot artificial digestion of them iu nowise,
diffrfeent taro the natural digestive process." .
AS A DYSPEPSIA CURER,
Dr. II OUGIPPON'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 certificore have been given of more
than Two Hundred Remarkable Cures, in Phila
delphia, New York and Boston alone. These
were neatly all desperate cases, and the cures were
not only rapid and wonderful, but permanent.

useful for tendency to Blllioue disorder,. Elver

cury and other urugs upon the Digestive Quinine,
after a lor.g sickness. Also, for excess in eating,
and the too free use of ardent spirits. It almost
reconciles health with intemprance.
OLD STOMACH COMPLAINTS.
There is no form of Old Stomach Complainta
which it does not seeni to reach and remove at
once. No matter how bad they may be,
it gives
instant relief ! A single dose removes all the un
pleasant symptoms; and it only needs to be repeated
short for a time to make these good effects perma

Mice. It is particularly excellent in cases of Nausea,
Vomiting, Cramps, Soreness of the pit of the
Stomach, distress after eating, low, cold state of
the Blood, Heaviness, Lowness of Spirits, Des

Insanity, Suicide, &c.
