A SWIM IN SALT LAKE.
I came near going away, like ninelecti
. purists out of twenty who visit these
'arts, without taking a swim in Great
'alt Lake. If I had done so, you might
!ave set me down a poor traveler indeed,
or this day's experience has been quite
3 interesting, instructive, its sensations
s novel, and its incidents as striking, as
ave been afforded by any other three
ayspf my sojourn. A. drive of twenty
'Wei in the coolof the morning brought
ie and my. companion to the best batting
lace in the lake. We had refreshed on
le way with a nice country breakfast at
.ishop Kessler's (think of breakfasting
-ith a bishop and paying him filthy lucre
n. it I), and were in fine condition for a
ash in the slight surf. There were no
ousel within gunshot, and the apathy
rhich prevails at the city concerning•all
rts of healthy sport had its compensa
on in this case, for it allowed us full op
ortunity for indulging in "buff bathing"
-nature's own sort,-which the watering
laces have suppressed hitherto, but are
ow, ashamed of their conventionalities
t last, allowing to "come in" again.
itt, Salt Lake cares naught for watering
lace regulations, p and we were soon in
raves,
natures, neck deep in the salty
raves, kicking and splashing, somer-
aulting and cavorting, as happy as clams
or schoolboys) inhigh water.
'Neck deep ! It is an arbitrary expres
on, and may mean five feet or twenty
ve, for one cannot go beyond that depth
nless handicapped. The dense fluid
uoys him up so that, after reaching the
epth of his shoulders, he may walk as he
leases. he can't touch bottom, and his
;ead refuses to keep down as persistently
13 an apple on Hallowmas E'en, or a
hicago scalper under the bankrupt act.
.aoyancy—you will never know the
:leaning of the word until you go to Sa!t
ake and bathe. You feel as if you had
iscoliered a new element, superior for
ae time to earth, air or water. You
trike out to swim in the usual way, and
lour back parts rear up like the roof of
e tabernacle; anon your feet are, kick
• in the air, and you flop_to save your
i ead from an unexpected ducking. Lying
in your bacli,lou float like a porpoise;
pen you try some new evolution, and
bout your astonishment and hilarity at
ie result.
`"Halloo ! how do you feel now!" I
zit my fellow bather.
" 0, buoyant," is the reply.
The sensation is akin to that described
slabg as "salubrious," though it has
one of the muddled quality of the tip-
\ Jer's salubriousness. You merely feel a
ttle delicious uncertainty as to whether
bladder,
area Chicago traveler or a big air
:Padder, and you delight yourself with
refiection•that, after all, there is not
1 ouch difference betiveen the two. The
r: Imperatore Is just right, and the effects
-teem exhilirating rather than weakening.
..IV -and-by you get surfeited with novel
. and go ashore. Then you get your
thereminder of the exceeding saltness of
he water—first except some little gulps
fir first plunging in, . which most likely
taught you to keep your mouth shot
.to all farther influx from the
.flement around you. Under ;the
?prying - influence of the sun,

white mass of pure salt—a sort of ve

The Romance of Busking Corn.
Honestly—and all rural proclivities
ipart—l do not think that husking corn
Is very likely to promote the flow of the
Lenderer sentiments.' It is simply—hard
Fork; specially when we come to count
up a score or two of hnsks. It is an
other instance in which the printed pas
toral is far more attractive than the actual
,astoral. A roomy old barn,-with blithe
runlight pouring in and lighting up the
Cobwebs and flashing in the golden locks
)f Joan, who wears striped brocade and
.its magnetically near you, might make
he work tolerable. But with half a hun
- lred of damp shocks standing away in
an angle of the cornfield, with a
biting northwestern . whistling among
.them= -fingers benumbed, a thumb worn
bare by its wrestle with the rasping
,husks, and Joan (if she be there at all)
sitting on a cow-stool, and with nose
pinched fearfully by the October chilli
ness—the affair wears quite another as
pect. The realists, if they venture upon
the subject, may rely upon these latter
data as correct. What, too, if Joan be
red-no sal and ugly? She may not make
a fine . Mire in a corn field or in a picture;
but even ugly Joan may so Blume that
• home of hers with smiles, with cherry
activity, with delicate and unflagging at
tention to all home interests, as to make
•n atmosphere about her in which she
'moves transfigured, and seems ever as
beautiful as the morning. Lovers think
• theOelves wise; but in reality they are
as blind as bats, and have no conception
of the devotion and the self-sacrifice of

John liroini , s Dying Speech.
Old John Brown, whose "soul goes
marching on," upon being asked by the
Court that tried him in Virginia for trea
son, what he had to say why sentence of
death should not be passed upon him, im
mediately rose and in a clear and distinct
voice said:
"I have, may it please the Court, a few
words to say. In the first place,l deny
everything but what I have all aong ad
mitted of .a design on my part to free
slaves. I intended certainlyto have matte
a clean thing of the matter, as I did last
winter when I went to lissouri, and
there took slaves without the snapping of
a gun on either side, moving through the
country. and finally leaving them
in Canada. I designed to do the same
thing again on a larger scale. This wasall
I Intendedto do. I never did intend mur
der or treason, or the destruction of prop
erty, or to excite or incite slaves to rebel
lion, or to make insurrection. I have
another objection, and that is that it is
unjust that I should suffer such a penalty.
Had I interfered in the manner which I
admit has been fairly proved—for I ad
mire the truthfulness and candor of the
greater portion of witnesses who have tes
tified in this case—had I so interfered in
behalf of the rich, the powerful, the intel
ligent, the so• called great, or in behalf of
any of their friends, either father, mother,
brother or sister, wife or children, or any
of that class, and suffered and sacrificed
what I have in this interference, it would
have been all right, and every man in this
Court would have deemed it an act worthy
of reward rather than punishment. The
Court acknowledge, too, as I suppose,
the validity of the law of God. I see a
book kissed, which I suppose to be the
Bible, or at least the New Testament,
which teaches me that all things whatso
ever I would that men should do to me,
I should do even sq . tothem. It teaches
me further to remember them that are in
bonds as bound with them. I endeavor.
to act up to that instruction. I say lam
yet too young to understand that God is
any respector of persons. I believe that
to have interfered as I have done, as I
have always freely admitted, I have done
in behalf of His despised poor, not wrong,
but right Now, if it is deemed neces
sary that I should forfeit my life for the
furtherance of the ends of justice, and
mingle my blood with the blood' of my
children and with the blood of millions
in this slave country whose rights are
disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust
enactments, 1 say let it be done. Let me
say one word further. I feel entirely
satisfied with the treatment I have receiv
ed on my trial. Considering the circum
stances it has been more generous than
I expected. But I feel no consciousness
of guilt. I have stated from the first
what were my intentions and what were
not. I never had any design against the
liberty of any person, nor any disposition
to commit treason or excite slaves to re
bel or make any general insurrection. I
never encouraged any man to do so, but
always discouraged any idea of thaekind.
Let me say also in regard to the state
ments made by some of those who were
connected with me. I fear it has been
stated by some of them that I have in
duced them to join me, but the contrary
is true. Ido not say this to injure them,
but as regretting their weakness. Not
one but joined me of his own accord,
and the greater part at their own expense.
A number of them I never saw, and
never had a word of conversation with
till the day they came to me, and for the
purpose I stated. Now, I have done."
These words, so bravely spoken, have
sent such a thrill through the world as
nothing which has been said since the
sermon was preached upon the Mount.
The Latest Dodge
A very ingenious trick, by which a
gang of swindlers are making money by
mutilating national bank notes of the de •
nomination of five dollars, has recently
come to our notice. The dodge consists
of making ten bills out of nine, and is so
managed that there is but one pasting to
each of the manufactured notes. The
nine whole bills are taken, and from the
right of the first one-tenth is sliced off;
from the right of the second two-tenths;
from the right of the third three-tenths,
and so on to number nine ' from which
nine-tenths are taken from the right, or
what amounts to the same thing, one
tenth from the left. Number one is
passed as it is, with a tenth gone from
the right; the one-tenth taken from num
ber one is pasted to the residue of num
ber two, from which two-tenths bad been
taken; these two-tenths are made to an
swer the place of the three-tenths taken
from number three, and so on through.
Thus nine five dollar notes are com
pleted, leaving the original number nine
with a tenth gone from the left, as a tenth
note.
It will be seen that but a tenth is gone
from each bill, and in a different place on
every one, and a little ingenious pasting
make the loss imperceptable to ordinary
observers. It is certain that large num
bers of these mutilated bills have been
circulated in this city, and our readers
will do well to look out for them. 'The
rogues who have carried out the fraud
were cunning in selecting the denomi
nations they did. Larger bills would
have been more closely scrutinized, and
smaller ones would not have been so re
munerative, A similar thing was done
by parties in Williamsburgh, several years
ago, with fifty dollar notes of the Inter
national Bank of this city, but that cheat
was not so cleverly managed as this, and
was soon detected. The department will
not redeem a bill which bears evidence on
its face that it has been tampered with,
And we advise our friends to scrutinize
their five dollar notes closely.
shatespearels Religion.
Mr. Hepworth Dixon has discovered
Shakespeare's religion. He was a Puri

credit upon Sir John Oldcastle a good
knight, who was one of the earliest mar
tyrs of the Reformation. Later in life
the dramatist discovered that he had done
grievous wrong by identifying Sir John
with the buffoon and libertine, and he,
therefore altered the name of this charac
ter to Falstaff. Not only did he do this,
but, in the epilogue to the second part of
King Henry IV, he goes out ofhis way to
vindicate Oldeastle's memory, "Who,"
he says, "died a martyr, and this is not
the man." Mr. Dixon declares that, as
Shakespeare dared to write that confes
sion in the days of Archbishop Whit

at the sometime. They cleanse the stomach, re
lax the livor and put it to work; thee the anpeLlte

m cu i e
ine ns u D m . p J.H.
Schenk, of
PhliadelPhia, owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of pulmonary Consumption. The Pul
monic
,: f :i
Syrup ripens the morbid - matter in the
lungs, inure throws It off by an easy expectora
tion, f r when the phlegm or matter Is ripe a
slight ongh will throw It off, and the patient has
rest axe the lungs begin to heal.
T. do this, the Seaweed_ionic and Mandrake
Pills must be ireely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonlc Syrup and the
food w ll make good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removyfir.•
all obstructions , relax the duets of the
gall bl der , the bile starts ely. and the liver
Is sou relieved; the stools will show west the
Pills can do,• nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly po'son ',Lich is very den
gerone to use unless with great care,) that will
unlock the gall bladder and start the secretions
of thediverlike Schmuck's Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one of the most , prominent
:lenses, of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tunic is a gentle stimulant
and allemtlve. and the alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made ot, assists the
stomach to tnrow out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pu4monic Syrup, and it is made
into good brood without fermentation or souring
in the stomaoh. •
The great reason why phislciaos do not cure
Consumption is, they try to do ton much; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills,to
stop night sweats, hectic fever and by so doing
they derange the whole digestivewers. lock
lug up the secretions, and eventually po the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Re
move the cause, and trey will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh,
Canker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and
stomach are made healthy.
_ ..„ . . .
If a person has consumption,
eitheroue the
ungs in some way are diseased, tubercles,
abeesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion,
or the lungs are a mass of Inflammation and fast
decaying. In such cues what must be done? It
is not only the lungs coat are wasting, but it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of fo .d. Now the
only chance is to tale Dr. Schenck's three medi
cines, which will bring up a tone to the stomach,
the patient will begin to want food, it will digest
easily and make good blood; then the patient be
gins to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body be
gins to grow, the lungs commence to.heal up,
and the patieint gets Malty and well. This lathe
only way to cureConsumptton.
When there is no tang disease and only Liter
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed ,
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient, without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pilla
freely in ail Dinkins complaints, as they are per
