The compositinn of Dr. Taylor's Balsam of Liver wort is only known by . the Propr.ittor, therefore it is dangerous using any but that from 375 Bowery.- WE herehy certify that our son 6 years of age. was suddenly taken with a lever. and after a severe sick ness a violent cough ensued. . He was bloated; his Skin was filled, and his physi cian said there was no favorite symptom about him. that he had aiconfirmed consumption. At that time, we procured a bottle of that valuable medicine; Tay 7 lor.'s Balsam of Liverwort. After taking one bottle began to have hopes of his recovery. He coatin. ed until he had used five bottles. It is now a year from that time, and his health is better than it has been since an infant. DAVID& HANNAH ROGERS. Granville*. Washington co:. N.

Hearken and observe how healthily—bow calm ly I can tell you the whole story. 4 00 It is impossible to say how first the idea enter ed my brain; but, oneo'conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none- Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me in sult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye I—yes, it was this! He tied the eyp of a vulture—a pale blue eye, with a film (tier h. Whenever it .fell upon ine, my blood run cold; and so by degrees—very gradually—l made up my mind to take the life of the old mari, and thus rid myself of :hi eye forever. Now this is the point You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you ahould have seen me. 'You should have seenone hew wisely I proceeded—with what caution—with what fore sight—with whet dissimulation I went to , work! I was never kinder to the old man 'than during the whole week before I killed him.. And every night, about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it—oh so gently! And then. when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern, all dosed, closed, so that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in I I moved it slowly--ve-, ry, very slowly, so that I.might not disturb- the old man's sleep. It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see the old man ee l he lay upon his hed. , Ha! would a madman be as wise es this I And then, when my head was well in the room, I undid - the lantern cautiously—oh, so cautiously, ( for the hinges creaked )—I undid it just so-much that a single thin ray fell upon 'the vulture eye. And this I did for several long nights—every night just at mideight—but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the old man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye. And every morning, when the day broke,ll went boldly lute the chamber.-and spoke courage ously to him, calling him by name in a hearty tone, and inquiring how he had passed the night. So you Fee he would have been a very profound old man, indeed to suspect that _every night, just at twelve, I looked in upon him while he slept. Upon the eighth night I was more than usually cautious in opening the door. A watch's minute hands moves More quickly than mine. Netter be fore that 'night; had I felt the extent of my own powers—of my sagacity. I could scarcely con tain my feelings of triumph. To think that there I was, opening the door, little by little. and the old man not even to dream of my secret deeds or thoughts. I fairly chuckled at the idea, and per haps the old man beard me : for he moved on the bed suddenly, as if startled. Now you may think that I drew • back—but no, .His /00ID was as black es pitch with the thick darkness, j (or _the shutters were dose fastened, through fear - o! rob. bore, ) and no I knew that he could not see'th ' e cr. pelting of the dour, , and I kept on pushing it stead ily, I had got my,hes' d' in, and wait about to open thelantern, when my thumb' slipped upon 'de tin fastening, and the old man sprang up in the bed, crying out—A. Who'e there!" • I kept quite still and said nothing. For anoth er hour I did not move a muscle. and in the mean Omni did not hear the old man by down. He was dill sitting up in the bed; listening ;--jost as I bop done, night. after,night, harkening to the death-watches in thewell. , - EEI Presendy I heard a slight groan, end I lutew that it was the groin of mortal tenor.

But even yet I refrained and kept still. I Scarce ly breathed. d held the lantern motionless. I tried how steadily I could maintain the ray upon the eye. Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart in creased. It grew quicker louder and louder eve. ry instant. The old-man's terror must have been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every mo ment !—du you mark me well ! I have told you thk , t em nervous r— so .I em . And now at the dead hoar of thinight, and amid the dreadful si lence of that old house, go strange a noise as this excited me to uncontrollable wrath. Yet for dome minutes longer I refrained and stood still. 4 But the beating grew loader, louder! I thought the heart must burst ! And now a new anxiety seiz ed me--the sound would be heard by a neighbor! The old moo's hour had come! With a loud yell, I threw open the lantein and leaped into dm room. Be shrieked once—once only. In an instant I dragged to the Elder, and pulled the heavy bed over him. I then sat upon the bed and smiled gaily, to find the deed so fardone. But, for ma ny minutes, the heart beat on with a mulled sound. This however did not vex me; it would not be beard through, the walls. At length it ceased. The old man was dead. I removed the bed and examined the corpse. Yes he was stone, stone dead. I placed my hand upon the heart and held it there many minutes. There was no pulsation. The old man was stone dead. His eye would trouble me no more. If, still, you think me mad, you will think ao no longer, when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body. The night waned, and I worked hastily but in silence. First of eh I dismembered the corpse. I cut off the head end the arms and the legs. I then took up three planks from the flooring of the chamber, and deposited all between the scath ing. I then replaced the boards so cleverly, so cunningly, that no human eye—not even his— could have detected any thing wrong. There was nothing to wash out—no stain of any kind—no blood.aptit whatever. I had been too wary for that. A tub had caught all—ha! ha! When I had made an end of these labors, it was four o'clock.—still dark as midnight. As the bell sounded the hour, there came o knocking at the street door. I went &urn to open it with . a light heart,—for what had I now to fear! There entered three men,who introduced themselves, with perfect suavity, as officers of-the police. A shriek had been heard by a neighbor-during the night; suspicion of foul play had been aroused; informa tion had been lodged at the police office, end they (the officers) bed been deputed to search the prem. ieee. I emiled,—for what had [to tear I /bade the gentlemen welcome. The shriek,' said was my own in a dream. • The old man, I mentioned, was absent in the country. I took my visitors all over the house. I bade them search—search well.— I led them at length to his chamber: I showed them his treasures, secure, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs in- to the room, and desired them here to "rest from their fatigue. ; while I myself, in the wild audaci ty of my perfectittiumph, placed my own seat up on the very spot beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim. Tho officers were satirded. My manner had convinced them. I was singularly at ease. They sat. while I answered cheerily, they chatted of fa- Millar things. But, ere tong, I felt myself get ting pale and wished them gone. MYbead ached, and I fancied a linking in my ears ; but still they end still chatted. The ringing became more distinct. I talked more freely, to get rid of , the feeling; but it continued and gained, definiteness —until, at length, I found that the noise was not within my ears. No doubt I now grew very pale ;—but I talked mote fluently, anti with a heightened voice... Yet the gonad increased—and what could ?do I It was a low, dull, quick sound—much such a sound as a timid& makes !dun enveloped in eoilon, I gasped for breath—and yet the officers helird it not.

We annex en extract from a work on China, recently published in Eng. land by a Captain Bingham : Baslan Atlas. oThe-tee-kiang, or Child of the Ocean, is one of the moat extensive rivers in the world, second only, only to , the Mississippi and Amazon., It takes its rise in • Thilset, and em reaching theses passes over en extent of 2,700 miles of country in its circuitous route, relieving the Lakes Tong ting and Poyang of their superfluous waters. When passing Nankin it runs 'with a continual ebb, and with such force as to require a strong breeze to sail against it. In its downward course numerous islands are formed, which are constant ly increasing from the quantity of soil suspended in its waters. The Conway bad been employed in surveying the mouths of this mighty riverond her indefatigable captain succeeded in discovering a passage by which line of battle' ships might be conducted through the Ganda which guard its en trance. The Conway did not proceed °both? six. ty miles up ; and even then the ebb- was found to run eight hours, and the ,flood at, neap tides was scarcely perceptible. terhe: ,t appearance of the ship created a great sensation ; and the natives were apparently busy throwing up fortifications, which, being examined by the telescope, proves nothing'but mats extert. ded on poles, with painted ports, to give them the appearance of forts ; these poor ignorant people nut having the least ides that their real character could be so easily'distinguished. Diiiing the time the dispute was going on between the late Lord Napier and thiCliinese authorities, our country. men at Canton were one morning astonished at seeing the shore apparently bristling with a hun. dred cannon ; but on examining them with their glasses, they had up in the front of a mat fort a range of earthen jars, with their open ends pointed toward the river. We - found that it was a con stant practice to stick a large round peice of wood into the Muzzle of a three-pounder, painted white, with a black spot as Idrge as the bore of a thirty two pounder, and as the white muzzle was con. tinued along the line of:guns, it became very dill'. cult, by merely looking at them, to discover the deceptiorl." New SouTO WALES—The Reaulla of Trans portation."—The system of transportation as es tablished by Great Britain for purposes of punish ment has produced results which entitle it to at tentive consideration. Downy Bay was coloniz ed by the English In 1778. It was made a re ceptacle for convicts. At the present time the town of Sidney, the capital of the colony, contains 30,000 inhabitants, Building lots have been sold there At one hundred dollars per. foot. In 1898 as many as three hundred and thirty-six ships ar rived at New South Wales—they came mostly from Great Britain. The imports into Sid ney in 1839 amountedin value to more than five millions of dollars; the exports were between fear and five millions. The Wand of New Holland is so large as to be considered by some geographers untitled to the appellation of • continent. It is two thousand seven hundred miles in length and two thousand miles wide. Thus there is abundant room for the spread of settlements ; and the soil and climate are so favorable as to invite to a rapid increase of population. There are many wealthy people in the colony.— Numbers, of the convicts, becoming industrious and prudent,,emass riches. There have been in stances of strange contrasts in this way. Indivi duals transported for stealing sheep have become the owners of large flocks; f?ot.pads have made a show in their own carriages ; the violators of laws at home have acted as colonial magistrates end made the laws respected. But it is the great principle which works out these results that deserves to be especially noted. There is a proverb which says a theie to honor among thieves"--the interpretation of which mu imply that in every coinmunity, no matter of what materiels composed. certain laws and regulations founded in justice , are essential to its existence. Human SoCiety imposes the necessity of confi dence, man towards man ; it recognises moral elements ; it implies sympalliies of feeling, per ceptions of the true, ideal of the right.—When malefactors -are thrown together to constitute a community, the necessity of the case compels the observance of laW. A conservative spirit rises up and gathers to itself materials of strength. Be sides,-in a multitude of instances the outcasts thus collected together had previously been the victims of a social star, which excluded them from its blessings, and which made no provi sion for their welfare. They had known the force of laws only by feeling their oppression. They had been the victims of society ; it was no matter of .wonder that they hail sought to mo lest it. Dot when these disintegrated fictions—these isolated moms—that had held no part nor lot in the sympathies of civilization, became the corn. ponent -elements of a separate Bocioty, they were brought to see in the existence end maintenance of laws the guardian power that Wes "to protect teem.
