HYPOCHONDRIACIS3I
A NOVEL CURE FOR IT
BY K. M. CARLETON
"Good morning, friend Carter, how is
your wife, this morning ?"
• "Bad as ever. lam much discouraged,
I assure yoh."
“Do you still have a physician ?"
•cYes, but he can do nothing for her."
"But what does he say ?"
•'I-le says that it is the most awkward
case of hypocondriacism he ever met with.
am completely worn out. She insists she
is going to die to-day, and besought me in
the most piteous accents to remain with
her; but I have neglected my business too,
much lately,' and can no longer indulge hei'
with my presence, which only makes her
appear worse."
"A hard case, indeed, particularly 'for
you, but what do you intend to do ?"
! I can't imagine what, friend
Bush, unless I become insane and take
refuge in a mad-house."
"Do not despair;-such cases are by no
means hopeless."
have done with hope."
"I am no physician, Carter, but I have
a plan in my head which I think cannot
fail to cure. her." •
"Out with it, at once. I am ready to
grasp a straw if it points out the slightest
hope."
"Have you a good sharp axe ?"
"I believe so."
4, 1 f you have not, purchase one by all
means. When you return at noon, say as
little as possible to her, but proceed delib
erately to cut down the bedstead upon
which she lays."
"I did not think you would make my
affliction a subject of mirth."
"I never was more serious in my life.—
Do this, and leave the rest with me; but if
you do not agree to it, I wash my hands
of the matter."
"Since you are serious, I will agree to
anything, however ridiculous."
"It is a bargain, then?"
“It is:"
The friends parted. Carter proceeded
to his store, while Bush hastened to the
residence of his friend. As he was an in
timate acquaintance, he was at once admit
ted. He sent word to the invalid that he
had something of the utmost importance to
communicate to her, and must see her with
out delay.
Such a message roused the curiosity of
the dying woman, as she termed herself,
aneshe consented to see him. The nurse
had evidently got her cue, for she made
re
an excuse for leaving hi:in, and at once
proceeded down stairs.
"Good morning, Mrs. Carter, how do you
feel 1"
"I am dying," she said faintly.
"Then I will not disturb you." He
moved towards the doOr as if about to leave
the room.
"Do not leave toe, Mr. Bush, to die alone
besides, you gave me to understand you
had something important to say to me. "
"True ! but it is an unpleasant task to
be the messenger of evil tidings."
"Evil tidings ! What do you rhean, Mr.
Bush `. O "
"To distress a feeble, fond wife, with the
rreguluities of her husband is most re
pugnant' to my feelings. I wish I had not
come."
"Speak," said Mrs. Carter; propping her
head with an additional , pillow, "let me
}mow all."
"When your husband left you this morn
ing, where did he tell you he was going
"To his store, of course. Where should
he go?" •
"Injured woman—he deceived you : for
he called at the house of the young widow
Smith, where he is a constant visitor."
"You amaze me, Mr. Bush !" The inva
lid had hastily thrust a shawl about her,
and was fairly sitting up.
"Take care and not excite yourself, my
dear madam. I will not shock your feel-
ings any further. I was about to say—but
I cannot, dare not."
"Proceed—tell me anything rather than
allow me to remain in this suspense. Con
ceal nothing, as you value my friendship."
"I believe you an injured woman, and I
will frankly tell you, all, although it will
surely
,cost me Carter's friendship. He is
actually engaged to her. They will be
married some six months after your death,
which they have calculated will soon oc
cur."
"The monster !—but•l will balk him.—
And that smooth faced young widow—to tell
me only a day or two since, that she would
never marry again. I'll soon put a stop
to these fine doings.".
"But this is not • all, Mrs. Carter, they
have actually consulted Dr. Robaek, or
some other humbugging astrologer, to learn
how long, you will live, and he informed
them that if your husband could succeed
in cutting down all four posts of your bed
stead, while you remained in bed, you
would not live four days."
"Monstrous ! but this tale is incredible
I cannot believe it."
"You shall have proof, for your husband
will commence operations this noon, how
ever foolish it may seem."
"But I will not remain in the house to
he thus used. If I were not so ill I would
return at once to my father's.
"Take my advice, madani. Rest quiet
ly until he returns, but partake of all the
nourishment you possibly can, and when
he begins his vile work, leave your bed at
once and thus put an effectual stop to his
villainous intentions. I really cannot re
main another moment."
lie left the lady in . a terrible rage, who,
while reflecting upon her wrongs, entirely
forgot her illness. The unconscious Carter
returned, and 'without wasting words be
gan vigorously hacking at the elegant ma
hogany bedposts. The wife, with fury of
a tigress, leaped from the bed and coni
pletely overwhelmed the astonished man
with iuvectivh and accusation of the most
bitter and vindictive character.
He thinking her insane, fled from the
apartment, but she followed from room to
room, giving her rage full scope . and de
nouncing him and the widow Smith as the
vilest and most criminal of mankind.
After a long and ludicrous scene of do
mestic commotion, matters were satisfacto
rily explained by both parties. The lady
was completely cured of her fancies, and
became an excellent wife, but it was a long
time before she forgave Bush.
SONUS.—Some one "versed in wisdom's
ways" has said : "Let me make the songs
of a nation, and you may make its laws,"
—meaning that a greater influence was ex
ercised on the character of a people by
songs which moved them, than byathe laws
which governed: If this be true, and no
one disputes it, into what a lamentable
state of affairs have we fallen ! What songs
we have!
Wa onao " [Jack, woutu•
take the place-of "Hail Columbia," and be
come national in its character. We lho't
it the very lowest (which rhyme could make)
nonsense, and we thought the prowess of
skull (not brains) had been exhausted on
that mighty production. Fashion took it
up, and borne by a popular breeze it be
came the song par excellence for the draw
ing-room, and was breathed py sweet lips
to piano accompaniment; maudlin tones of
bacchanalian revelers mingled it with their
midnight hiccups, and juveniles gave evi
dence of the joy in their hearts, by sending
forth the strains of "Old Uncle Ned." On
it went, "conquering and to conquer." All
classes it took by storm, and melted every
heart. The gray-headed grandsire melted
into pity, as he heard that Uncle Ned had
no hair on the top of his head, in the place
where modern doctors thought•it should be
found. The nice young lady commiserated
his condition, because "he had no eyes for
to see," and hence was cut off from the en
joyment of looking at a thousand pretty
things—such as ribbons—which make up
her heyday of life. The juvenile is grieved
because the old man "had no teeth to eat
the corn cake," which eating is the juve
nile's delight. These misfortunes and oth
ers which Ned bad, came very near setting
the nation in tears. Its empire over the
hearts:of millions was thought to be estab
lished on a permanent basis. "Old Dan
Tucker" had been deposed by "Dandy
Jim," who in turn yielded the sceptre of
song to that black queen, Miss "Mary
Blane"—she was the only feminine who
reigned long, if "Lucy Long" be excepted.
The inure who had a care of the American
lyre, was undoubtedly of African origin, or
was playing a most deceitful masquerade.
She but revealed herself to disclose a huge
foot, a flat nose and a woolly head. The
Melodies of ' , Anacreon Moore," the sweet
strains which flowed from Scotia's plowman
poet, and the pure and elevated sentiments
of English and American lyrists, were hid
by the deep midnight which the very pres
ence of the negro muse created. The fash
ionable singer justified his love for such
songs by saying that the airs were taken
from the Best Operas—enough one would
think, to d—n the Opera, and not dig
nify a ditty. But "Uncle Ned's kingdom
has been found unstable, and has tumbled
down; and now in its place is seen the ap
parently rock-founded one of "Jordan is a
hard road to travel."
Soon after the Copernican system
of astronomy begin to be generally under-.
stood, an old Connecticut farmer went to
his parson with the following inquiry :
"Dr. T. do ybu believe in the new story
they tell about the earth moving round the
sun ?"
"Yes, certainly."
"Do you think it according to the scrip
tures. If it's true, how could Joshua
command the sun to stand still.'
"13mph 3" quoth the doctor, scratching
his head, "Joshua commanded the sun to
stand still, did he ?'?
"Yes."
"Well it stood still, did it not P'
"Yes."
"Very well, did you 'ever hear that he
set it going again 'I
RATHER INDIGESTIBLE.-A gentleman
in an eating-house, the other day, looked
in vain for a Bill of Fare.
Not finding one, he inquired of a waiter,
a new echner, who was yet - hardly initiated
into the mysteries of his vocation :
"Will yon bring me a' programme ?"
"Yes, sir," he replied, itteill you have
it boiled.or roasted ?"
The
. gentletnan, 4 . fearing it might be
rather mdigeetible, declined both proposi
tions.
"THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD."
CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 25, 1854.
REFORM SHOULD BEGIN AT HOME
"This is pleasant," exclaimed a young
husband taking his seat cosily in the couch
ing chair as the things were removed. The
fire glowing in the grate, revealecia pretty,
neatly furnished sitting room, with all the
appliances of comfort. The fatiguing bus
iness of the day was over, and he sat en
joying what he had all day been anticipating,
the delights of his own fireside. His pretty
wife Esther took her own work and sat
down by the table.
"It is pleasant to have a home of one's
own," he again said, taking' a satisfactory
survey of his little 'quarters. The cold
rain beat against the windows, and he tho't
he felt really grateful for his present com
forts.
“Now if we only had a piano,” exclaimed
the wife.
"Give me the music of your own sweet
voice before all the pianos in creation," he
declared complimentarily, besides feeling a
secret disappointment that his wife's thank
fulness did not happily chime with his own.
"Well, but we 3vaut one for our friends,"
said Esther.
"Let onr friends come to see us, and not
harp on a piano," exclaimed the husband.
"But, George everybody has a piano,
now-a-days, we won't go anywhere without
seeing a piano," persisted the wife.
"And yet 1 don't know what we want
one for—you will have no time to play on
one, and I don't want to hear it."
"Why, they are so fashionable—l think
our room looks nearly naked without one."
"I think it looks just right."
"I think it looks very naked—we want
a piano shockingly," said Esther emphati
cally. '
The husband rocked violently.
"The lamp smokes, my dear," said lie
after a long pause.
"Wlfeu are you going to get au astral
lamp ? I have told you a dozen times how
much we teeded one," said Esther pettish
ly.
"Those are very pretty lamps—l never
can see by an astral lamp," said her hus
band. "Those lamps are the prettiest of
the kind I ever - saw—they were bought in
Boston."
"But, George, I do not think our room
ID complete without an astral lamp," said
Esther sharply. "Why the Morgans and
the Millers, and many others I might.men
tion, all have them; I am sure we ought
too."
"We ought to, if we take pattern by other
people's expenses, and I don't see any
reason in that."
The husband moved uneasily in his chair.
"We want to live as well as others do,"
said Esther.
"We want to live within our means,
Esther," exclaimed George.
"I am sure we can afford it, as well as
the Morgans and Millers and Thorns—we
do not wish to appear mean."
George's cheek crimsoned.
••Mean ! I am not mean !" he cried an
grily.
"Then we do not wish to appear so,"
said the wife. "To complete this room,
and make it look like other people's we
want an astral lamp."
"We want—we want," muttered the hus
band, "there is no satisfying woman's wants
do what you may," and he abruptly left
the room.
How many husbands are in a similar di
lemma ? How many houses and husbands
are rendered uncomfortable with the con
stant dissatisfaction of a wife with present
comforts and present provisions ! How
many bright prospects for business have
ended in bankruptcy and ruin, in order to
satisfy this secret hankering after fashion
able necessaries ? Could the real cause of
many failures be known, it would be found
to result from useless expenses to answer
the demands of fashion, and what will peo
ple think ?
"My wife has made my fortune," said a
gentleman of great possessions, "by her
thrift, prudence and cheerfulness when I
was just . beginning."
"And mine has lost my fortune," an
swered his companion, "by useless extrav
agance and repining when I was doing well."
What a world does this open to the in
fluence which a wife possesses over the fu
ture prosperity of her family ! Let the
wife know her influence, and try to use it
wisely and well.
A LOFTYC ATARACT.—Captain Walker,
of the U. S. Surveying Expedition, gives
the account, in the San Diego Herald, of
a wonderful cataract which he discovered
in his explorations:
"On the Upper Virgin River are two
very remarkable falls. One of them, two
hundred miles from its mouth, is the most
stupendous cataract in the world; it falls
in an almost unbroken sheet a distance of
full one thousand feet! The river some
distance above, traverses a pretty timbered
valley, and then runs through a close ken
yon. Here the current becomes rapid.—
The mountain seems to run directly across
the river. At the fall, the stream is nar
rowed.to thirty or forty yards--while the
kenyon rises on either side in almost per
pendicular cliffs to a heighth of two hun
dred feet. The pent up stream rushes on
to the brink of the precipice, leaps over
the falls with scarce a break, into the vast
abyss below.
"About thirty miles above, there is an
other magnificent fall. Here the river
plunges over the cliff, falls a distauc e of
two or three hundred feet, and breaks into
a myriad of fragments upon a projecting
ledge beneath. Although the fall is not
so great as the other, it is more pictur
esque, from the multitude of smaller cat
aracts into which it is dividdd by the
rocks."
B Who is that gentleman ?" asked old
Roger of a friend, as he saw a large man
with a protuberant front standing in a
doorway in State street.
"That," said the individual addressed,
is one of our Boston pilots."
"Ali," replied the little old fellow, with
a face very merry "I should think, then,
that he was a direct descendant of Paun
chyus Pilot."

TEEE!PRIMITIVE MAN
I hold it to be morally impossible for
God to have created in the 'beginning,
such men and women as we find the human
race in their physical condition, now to be.
Examine the book of Genesis,Which contains
the earliest annals of the human family. As
is commonly 'supposed it comprises the first
three hundred and sixty-nine years of hu
man history. With childlike simplicity,
this book describes the infancy of mankind.
Unlike modern histories, it details the min
utest circonistances of individual life. In
deed, it is rather a series of biographies
than a history. The false delicacy of mod,
ern times did not forbid the mention of
whatever was done or suffered. And yet,
over all tlat expanse of time—for more
than one tlfffil part of the duration of the
human race—not a single instance is re
corded of a child born blind, or deaf, or
dumb, or idiotic, or malformed in any way!
During the whole period, not a single case
of a natural death in infancy, oh childhood,
or early manhood, or even of middle man
hood is to be found. Not one man or wo
man died of disease. The simple record
is, "and he died," or, he died "in a good
old age and full of years," or he was "old
and full of days.'! No epidemic, or even
endemic disease pfevailed showing that
they died the natural death of healthy men,
and not the unnatural death of'distemper
ed ones. Through all this time; (except
in the single case of Job, in his age, and
then only for a day or two before his death,)
it does not appear that any, man was ill, or
that any old lady or young lady ever faint
ed. Bodily pain from disease is no where
mentioned. No cholera infantum, •searle
tina, measles, small pox, not even a tooth
ache! Sp extraordinary a thing was it for
a son to die before his father, that an in
stance of it is deemed worthy of special no
tice; and this first case of the reversal of
nature's law was two thousand years afte r
the creation of Adam.' See how this reversa
of nature's law has fkir us beconie the latti
for how rarely it is now for all the children
of a faiiaily to survive the parents. Rachel
died at the birth of Benjamin; but this is
the only case of puerperal death mentioned
in the twenty-four hundred years of the
sacred history; and even this happened
during the fatigues of a patriarchal journey,
when persons were not wafted along in the
saloons of a rail-car or steamboat. Had
Adam, think you, tuberculous lungs; was
Eve flat chested, or did she cultivate the
serpentine line of grace in a curved spine?
Did Nimrod get up in the morning with a
furred tongue, .or was he tormented with
dyspepsia? Had Esau the gout or hepatis is?
Imagine how the tough old Patriarchs would
have looked at being asked to subscribe
for a lying in hospital, or an asylum for
lunatics, or an eye and ear infirmary, or a
school for idiots or deaf-mutes. What would
their eagle vision. and swift-footedness have
said to the project of a blind asylum or an
zwthoaped:ua ostablislamord3 Did-they 31159 F
any of these ravages of nature against
false civilization? No! Man came from the
hand of God so perfect in his bodily organs,
so jefient of cold and heat, of drought and
humidity, so surcharged with vital force,
that it took more than two thousand years
of the combined abominations of apetite
and ignorance; it took successive ages of
outrageous excess and debauchery, to drain
off his electric energies and make him even
accessible to disease; and then, it took age's
more to breed all these vile distempeip
which now nestle like vermin, in every or,
gan and fibre of our bodies.
During all this time, however, fattd
causes were at work which wore away and
finally exhausted the glories and abound
ing vigor of the pristine race. At least as
early as the third generation from Adam,
polygamy began. Intermarriages were all
along the order of tTe day. Even Abra
ham married his half sister. The basest hat
lotry was not beneath one of the Patriarch.
Whole people, like the Moabites and Aixi
orites, were the direct fruits of the combin
ed drunkeness and incest between father
and daughters. The highest pleasures and
forces of the race gradually narrowed down
into apetite and incontinence. At length
its history became almost too shocking to be
refered to. If its great men, its wise men,
its Ged favored men, like David, could be
guilty of murder for the sake of adultery,
or like Solomon could - keep a seraglio of
a thousand wives and concubines, what
blackness can be black enough to paint
the portraits _of the people they ruled, and
children they begat?
After the Exodus, excesses gradually
developed into diseases. First came cu
taneous distempers—leprosy, boils, elphan
tiasis,E, the common effort of nature to
throw visceral impurities to the surface.
As early as King Asa, that right royal
malady, the gout had been invented'. Then
came consumption and the burning ague,
and disorders of the visceral organs, and
pestilences, or as the Bible expresses
it, "great .plagues and of long continuance;"
and "sore sickness and of long continu
ance ;" until, in the time of Christ, we sde
how diseases of all kinds had become the
lot of mankind, by the crowds that flocked
to him to be healed.
And so frightful, so disgracefully nu
merous have diseases now bec'ome, that if
we were to write down their names, in the
smallest legible hand, on the smallest bits
of paper, there would not be room enougi
on the human body to paste the tables.--
Extract from Horace .41ann's Inaugural
address.
WOMAN'S LOVE.
A SCENE FROM REAL LIFE. . i
There is many a life scene more touching
—more worthy of immortality than the
deeds of conquerors or the heroes of history.
The following from the St. Louis Republi
can, is one :
W. 7,1 saw, says the editor, last evening, an
apt ill ustration of the affeotion of woman.
A poor inebriated wretch had been to the
calaboos e. His conduct in the street, and
after he vvas placed in the cell, was of such
a violent character that it became necessa
ry to handcciff him. The demon rumaind
possession of his soul, and he gave vent to
his ravings in curses so profane as to shonk
the senses of his fellow prisoners, onhf
whom, in the mune cell, at his own soli *-
tation, was placed in a separate apartme t.
A woman appeared at the grating, and in
her hands she had a .rude tray ' upon will I li
were placed some slices of bread, fre h
from the hearth-stone, and other little d --
icacies, for her irrinihnsband. She sto{d
at the bar gazing intently into the thick
gloom, where her mannoled companion
wildly raved. Her voice was low and soft,
and, as she called. his news, its utterance
—BraceNell
was as plaintive as the melody of a fond
and crushed spirit.
' The tears streamed from her eyes, and
there in the dark house, the abode of the
most wretched and depraved, the tones of
her voice found their way into thatwickedi
man's heart, and he knelt in sorroly andinL
silence before his young and injured wife,!
whilst his heart found relief in tears such
only as a man can weep. Though the iron'
still bound his wrist, he placed his hands,.
with their heavy insignia of degradation,
confidingly and affectionately upon the
brow of his fair companion, and exclaimed,
4c.lCaty, I will try and be a better man."— .
There, upon a rude seat, she had spread
the humble meal, which she had prepared,
with her own hands, and after he had fin
ished she rose to depart, bidding him be.
calm and resigned for her sake, with the
assurance chat she would bring a friend to
go on his bond, and that she would return
and take him home. And she left him, a
strong man, with his head drooping upon
' his breast, a very, coward, humiliated before
the weak and tender being whose presence
and affection had stilled the angry passions
of his soul. True to the instincts of her
love and promise, she did return with one
1 who went on his bond for his appearance
next morning—with his hand clasped in
that of his lovely wife, she led him away a
penitent, and we trust, a better man.—
There were those who laughed, as that pale,
meek woman bore off her erring husband,
but she heeded them not, and her self-sac
rificing heart knew or cared for nothing in
its holy and heaven-born instincts, but to
I preserve and protect him whom she loved
with all the devotion of a wife and a wo
man.
