Reader. I peddled over a thousand bottles of this in the'
_vicinity of Boston. I ' know the effects of it in every
case. "So sure as water will extinguish'Bre. so sure will
thii cure humor. I never sold a bottle of it but that I

There are two things about this herb that appear to me !
surprising; first that it grows in our pastures, in some
plaroi quite plentiful, and yet its value has never been
known until I discovered it in 1846—second, that it
should cure all kinds of humor.
In order to give some Idea of the sudden rise and great
popularity 01 the discovery. I will state that in April,;
1858, I peddled it and wild about six bottles per day—in'
Alai!. ISSI, 1 sold over one thousand bottles per day of it. I
Sono , of the wholesale druggists who have lawn in the i
business twenty and thirty years, say that nothing In
th e annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There ;.
is a universal praise of it from all quarters.
in my own practice I alWays kept it ktrictly for humors
—but since its introduction as a general family medicine.
great and'wonderful virtues have been found in it that .
F never suspected.

condition to see the light.' We'll 80 about
that: at any rate, we 'take the respo4ibility':
'lt was, I think, for I have not my I memo- ,
randum•hocik of tie day before me, in the 1
month of August, 1836; that rfoutul l y v aelfi
wandering through the great, inland sea that i

:ern now, it . used to be, some time off ; other,!
and that too since the greni min-storqin.No- !
ah's time) until I brought ! up at Foq.-Craw-!
ford, Green Bay. i
'At this point, Captain E. B. Birdsall, of!
the . Third United States Infantry, (poor fel-;
low, he has: 'fought his last battle,' and now, i
slumbers with the{ dead of; a thousand years !
ago,) procured Mackinaw boats., a stifticiebt
number to :accommodate 'the whole :detach-'

and fifty United States Dragoons, on their
way to Fort Desfoines; Tin the MiSsissippi i .

or fifteen soldiers with the necessary camp!
equipage, provisi ns,.ete. . .
'Thai provide and fully provisidned for
the journey, the oars were let fall, and we I
threaded our up the Fox River, a: portion
of the Way quite a rapid stream, with many i
formiddble rapid. with grand andlesser chutesi
to pas s !over, tint I we arrived at Fort Winne-!

wa i
the'reabh of civi ization. A portage t' half a I
j e
mile from the F x to the Onisconsin River, ,
and . our • boats w re again launched, 4ind we;
pursued our wa . down , the lust named river)
until a+ struck 1 t
ie Mississippi, some few miles !
. ,
. below 'Prarie du -Chien.
'I should perthaps, have stated, ere this,
that it teas our i variable custom to sleep be , :
neath ur tents n shore evernight:: .
'Soo ' after . triking the Mississippi, our:
tents Were pitcl ea, one' night, as usual. It'
was not long be bre,the camp-fires gave token !
that thi: eVenin, meal was is process pf .prep-:
aration. In du time the guards were set, si
lence reigned in the little army, rz: naught
was to he heardl save the regular
,tread of the'
night -Watch, as le paced his silent round: ;
'I held no'idea when I turned is that night
,that I Was to lie unceremoniously turned out
m
before orning r l But I was mistaken. .DIW
ring the: night, kinr camp was visited :bv a fu
rious rain-storm: . The Water descended in
torrents, and diSturbed in his lurking-Place an
enornit us'ltattlesnake, who, it would seem,
took,up hiS'line , of march with. I presume,. no
very ,ccirrect idea of his destination . ; but with a
commendable desire, I doubt not, to! provide
hiniselt with shelter from 'the pitileis storm
that wits ragin ,, about, and invading, his do
minions, the broad r ' forest s of which) he had
probable been an iindistiwbed occupant for
many -ears.
'I cannot for one •moment imagine that his
snakeship lad any partieitlar penchaiy for my
quarters, but it so happened that 'aliOnt one
'clock at night.; -nther - he br b'
I• pav f
o'clock at night, or rather morning. Jrougt,
up at'ny tent, and acting, upon the old prov
erb, only a saying—of 'any port in a storm.'
he pitched in, without as much as saying, 'Br
your leitive, Sir,' and the 'first intimation at=
fordedli i ne . that I was to he honored :with his
distill , " ished presence 'was the fact . that he
was iiwntiritmg, his cold, wet, and horrid car
case, directly across my legs,'just above the
knee-jOints. Having obtrued him4elf thus
far int O -good society, he seemed to be entire-',
ly satitified with himself, with me, and, for'
aught i knew, with the rest of mankind, and
the comfortable quarters into which ; le had ;
thus thrust, himself unbidden; for I 'am very,
certain, had 'I been permitted to make choice;
'of a cHmpanion for the night, my tendencies I
would ho,t have been in that direction. But .
here he was, warm, quiet, and free from the
storm, land seemed mightily inclined, so far as I
I could discover, to t -tarry fOra :while. Butby .
this time I began fiilly to realize myown,po
sition. I bail assumed, in the first place, as;
all the indications were that' way, that it was;
a snakr, and my imagination, in the second ,
place, led me to'suppose it was a ratllesnake.;
Of course .I had no positive knowledge on the
subject, for his entrance, had been unan
nounced ;, but I thought I had a right to make
that tisurfiption, and to govern myself actor-'..
dinglyl
'BO the thought of 'such a companion was d
horrible! A sleeping partner, too—a . snake, II
so forhidding in every :possible aspect, that I
even at this time, altholigh about:nineteen'
years ave roiled over the' incident, it makes .'
me sh dder through every limb to think of!'
But that was not the question up 'most in'
my mind at that time. The question was:;—;
'Bow Can I get rid of him 'l'. And it was a'
nice question,too 2 .—onemorevasily conceived
than executed . I ',knew the fix I was in, I'
was frilly aware of thy position ; for my ores-'
ence of mind had not for one moment desert
ed meL .,
!Alt ough an intruder—although. he -had
presuMed to poach upon my manor Without a
license—still I was aware that this king of his !
speciee was to be treated with greatrespect
and consideration, until I bad got, .at least.
beyond the reach of his murderous fangs. I'
commenced, therefore, the:process of sliding'',
my legs out from under him—not, td be sure„
I at a pace of two-forty—but imitating more..
the speed of the snail, and - almost holding my
breath during the operation. I was fully ,
awa're, that my only safety lay in this. Per
haps I might have got rid of him in a more:

eccentri#ities of atmospheric pressure on the
baroineter in various parts of South America.
Lieut { Herndon, IL S. IN:, in his descent of

At eastern base of the Andes he found
the preShure olthe atmosphere, as measured
by th temperature of boiling water, to be
nearly, ah great as it is usually at the sea level;
and afb:ii. having descended the river for nearly
a thou s*nd below: this place Of 'great

"dead,' lingers strangely, end echoes 'sadly in
the ear, and, thongh_the sympathising soul.—
Deadd 2 tlead—dead--and the world ;grows
gray, and the heart stills, and the ,eye, mois
tens to that mysterious sound. ;
The spirit trembles before the iushing flood
of conflicting emotions which follow the dark
echo, and essay to glance through its import.
But the echo fades amid encircling milt, and
the spirit turns back confused with bliadness.
Even the echo of death cannot be penetra
ted. The few feet of mould that Composes the
grave, are wider than the globe, i higher than
the stars. Not the mind's eye, nor the anx
ious soul can glance through the:barrier—the
boundary between Time and, Eternity.;
"When lam dead l" More or less signifies
resignation, or dependent wo, a 'fulfilment of
nature,. or a perversion of its end, may these
words express, though sad they are at ast.
When'the aged man, whose steps have:grown
feeble in the w4lks of goodness, and , whose
hands trenible&with the fruit of ;his oft given
charity, utters these words, they all from the
lips as a prayer to Heaven. In them his will
harmonizes with his destiny; and the tear that
starts for a superior soul about . ; to leave its
- clay, glistens in the light of happiness, that
gleams out of the heart, at the prospective re
word of the future. t • ;
The lips, too, that never pressid . the rim of
the fount of N,ature's Poesy, may murmur,—
"when I am dead!" but death tot such to one
is better, perhaps, than life. ' . llis heart holds
no music, chiming in cadences , to weal and
wo; his inward existence' is vbid, and the
rough surface of his being checliered, though
not brightened by the half stray thoughts,
darkens but little with into panoply of the
tomb. ' "
How different, - when' youth, glowing with
beauty of soul and heart, rich ttith the trea
sures of mind, and warm with sympathy for
all of ikrieliness, sighs like the: south wind
"When lam dead!" A- spirit Seems to wail
its anthem, acid an eclipse of the; noontide sun
to fall upon . the picture, of a 'high 'nature
checked in its purpose—turned', from dulcet
waves upon a coral reef, against the rocks of
a destructive shore.
"When I am, dead!" It is as mournful as
the plaint of a ghost. on the tempest and mid
night wind. But we must say it some time ;
for the'grave lies at hand yawning through a
bed of thorns or- gleaming like a White avenue)
of hope leaning against the.stais.
'When lam 'dead v." Strange and fearful
import hath it to the utterer, but it is a weak
phrase only to others, the world. Who:speaks
it? marivrthink the single- going forth of . a
soul..will move none—all will be as before.
When he, and you, and we gentle - readers,
are folded in our shrouds, friends dearest and
those whP loved us best, will dry their tears
ere they have all. begun to flow. The heart
"that beats with rapture 'against; our own will
freeze above our memory in:brief time—brief
er "than . Woman's trust orl main's period of
• goodness:.
. But it is well thus; 'tis the wPrld's custom
I and nature's law.• We weep not for the dead
but while', they die: We shall 'boon be With
i,thern; and it may be good, we go early to
:_their narrow home.

RED HAIR.—The young men anclWome9 . of
the, present age seem to think that red hair is
an abomination in the sight of the public; and,
consequently, endeavor, by all manner of
means, to change the color to abe.autiful ekes- ,
nut brown or black. Even some portions' of
the press have standing jokes on ",.earroty
polls;" on the stage, if they wish to introduce
a very funny character, they put a red wig on
him. This is not as it should be, because we
have seen some red hair that vifts'renllY beau
tiful, and in ancient times nations who were
the most polished, the most eivilized,, and the
most skillful in the fine arts, were passionately
fond of red hair.
The Gauls, ancestors of the Modena French,
had the same preference, though the color is
now in disrepute by their delseendents, who
like black hair. A taste for red hair, howev
er, still exists in extensive 'regions. The
Turks, for example, are fond of women who
have red hair, while the modern Persians have
a strong aversion to it. The! inhabitants of
Tripoli, who probably learned froni the Turks,
give their hair a red tinge by the aid of ver•
million. V•The women of Scinde and Deccan
ate fond of dyeing their hair red and yellow
as the Romans did, in imitation of German
hair.. There is among Europeans generally a
strong dislike to red hair, but in Spain, red
hair is admired almost to adorixtion, andthero
is a story told of one of our paval ;eomman
`:ders, who luxuriated in fiery locks, being idol
-1 ized, and caressed in consequence by the
Spanish women, and' looked upon all a perfect
Adonis. ,
