    A Large Organ.
At Frryboury in Switzerland i very pow
erful organ, which it well described by cor
respondent of th New York Observer;
It has 7900 pipes, some of them 32 feet long,
iid 04 stops. It is an instrument of power,
nd though the traveller is compelled to pay e
leven francs to hear it on a week day, it U worili
the money. At first one imagines a trick is
played upon him, and that a full orchestra ac
companies the organ. The mellow tones melt
in and float away with the Itoavier notes, as if a
band of musicians were playing out of sioht.
Many refuse to believe it is not a deception till
they go up and examine every part of the instru
menu The effect is perfectly bewildering.
There is the trombone, the claronet, the flute,
the fife, and ever and anon the clear ringing
note of the trumpet. The performance is clo
ed with an imitation of a thunder storm, in
which the wonderful power of the instrument is
fully tested. At first you hear the low distant
crowl swelling up and dyinr sway. The next
peal breaks on the ear with more distinct and
threatning sound. Nearer and nearer rolls up
the thunder cloud, sending its quick and heavy
discharges through the atmosphere, till clap fol
lows clap with stunning rapidity, rolling and
crashing through the building till its solid arch
es tremble as if the real thunders of luaven
were bursting overhead. I did not dream that
a single instrument could possess so much pow
er. The same correspondent also described two
suspension bridges in Freybotirg : one remark
able fur its great length, the other for its ex
treme beauty. The latter connects the tops of
two mounts n, swinging over a frightful gulf
that makes one dizzy to look down into. There
ore no buttresses or mason work in siht at a
little distance. Shafts are sunk in the solid
rock of the mountains, down which the wires
that sustain it are dropped. There it atretic,
a mere black line nearly 1500 feet in the hea
ven, from summit to summit. It looks like a
spider's web flung across a chasm ; its delicate
tracery showing clear and distinct againU the
sky. While you are looking at the fuiry crea
tion suspended in mid-heaven, almost expecting
the next breeze will waft it away, you see a
heavy wugon drive on it. You shrink buck with
horror at the rashness that could trust so frail a
structure at that dizzy height. But the air hung
cobweb sustains the pressure, and the vehicle
passes in safety. Indeed weight steadies it,
while the wind, as it sweeps down the gulf,
makes it awing under you. The large suspen
sion bridge ia supported on four cables of iron
wire, each one composed of 1,05(5 wires. As
the Menia bridge of Wales is often said to be
longer than this, we eive the dimensions of both:
Freyburjr, length 905 feet height 174 feet,
breadth, 5iS feet. Menia, length 560 feet, height
130 feet, breadth 25 fret. A span of 905 feet,
without any intermediate pVr, seems impossible
at first, and one needs the testimony ol his own
eyes before he can fully believe it.
Poetry Kxlraordinary.
The circumstances that called forth the fob
lowing amusing distich arc as follows : At the
late session of the Northampton Court, a case
of trover and conversion was tried for a horse,
which the defendant, Jos. Sterner, of Lehigh
County, got into his possession, and which horse
died three days thereafter. Messrs. Mathew
Hale Jones and J. Glancy Jones were the law
yers concerned.
This steed would delight all the lads of the fancy.
When driven by Matthew and mounted by Clan-
Tint with one lawyer driving, and one on his back,
The devil took pity and killed the poor hack.
But even grim death could not save him from
trouble,
The lawyer resolved that he should still carry
double, '
So a suit for conversion 'gainst the devil they
tried, '
When Hale got the hoofs, and Glancy the hide.
Lehigh Bulletin.
A Valentine's Joke. A New York corres
pondent of the Boston Transcript tells an anec
dote connected with Si. Vulentine's day.
'A talented physician, who was a strong be
liever in phrenology, had been for a long time
endeavoring to make his addresses acceptable
to a fair ludy whom the science taught him had
all the bump$ requisite to make her a most de
sirable partner for life, but the lady would not
acknowledge the 'soft impeachment, and laugh
ed at the swain for believing in humbug. Ho,
poor fellow, was ton much in love to bo wise,
and persisted in his attentions. Ou St. Valen
tine' day, the lady determined to finish the bu
siness, and she sent him an ornamented paper,
containing these lines :
"When I put all the bumps of your thick head to
gether, T think that your brains are as light as a feather;
From the Urge cotton bumps on your best tout 1
I see
Your thoughts are far more on your dress than
on me.
The man who is destined to make me a bride,
Must have more within, sir, and less of outtide."
It seems, however, that the bump of the gen
tleman's sell-complacency was not at all distur
bed by this hint at his self-conceit and vanity,
for he pas wd it off for a joke of some Boston
cousin, and tuld the whole a flair, in confidence,
on St. Vale mine's day, to his fair incogum !"
The Diffebkm-k l wish you would not
smoke segars!" said a plump little black-eyed
girl to her lover.
"Why not I smoke aa well as your chim
ney I"
"Because chimneys don't smoke when they
id in food order."

Mn. (1nt.tr: I believe il tbe tity of every
one lo do whatever in their power I ie, for the Ir ne.
fit of their fellow mao, and having had po-i ive
proof in my own family, of the wonderful properties
of your Dcpurative Syrup of Sarsaparilla, I m st
coiiscientiou-ly recommend it lo Ihe afflicted. We
had the mii-fortune to lose Iwu of our children, by
the breaking out of ulcerous sores thai covered Ih.
face, head and neck, although we had some of tin
most -cientitic physician lo attend thi m and had
tried all the known I e medics, including fwaim's
Panacea, without avail. Another of my children
was attacked in Ihe same manner, her face ar.d
neck w completely covered; the discharge Was so
offensive, snd the disease at such a heght. that we
despaired of her life. Seeing the wonderful effects
of your Depuraiive Syiup ol S irsaparill 1, we were
induced lo make trial of il, as the Inst resort ; it
acted like a charm; the u'cers commenced healine
immediately, a ft w bottles entirely restored lo r to
her health, which she bus enjoyed tiniliteriuptedly
ever since. As a purifier of the bio. d,I verily be
line it has not its equal.

PtiitanKirnrA, February 10, 18.18.
70R twenty year I was severely afflicted with
A Tttii on the Face and Head: the disease
commenced when I was seventeen years old, and
continued until the Fall of 1836, varying in vio
lence, but without evor disappearing. During most
of tbe time, gre.it part of my face was covered with
the eruption, frequently attended with violent itch
ing; my head swelled st time until it Ritas if it
would buret the swelling wn so great, that I could
scarcely get my hat on. During the long period
that I was afflicted wiih the disease, I used a great
many plications, (among them severs! celebrated
preparation) as w. II aa taking; inward remedies,
including a number of bottles of Swaim's Panacea,
Extract of Sursapiirilii, Arc, In fact, it would be
impossible lo enumerate all the medicines I used.
I was also under the care of Iwo of the most dis
tinguished physician of this city, but without re
ceiving much benefit, and I despaired of ever being
cured. In Ihe fall of 18:tfi, the disease st Ihe time
being very violent, I commenced usine the Hose
Ointment, (prepared by Vaughan St Davis.) In
a f. w applications the violent itching ceased, the
swelling abated, the rruption began to disappear,
and before I had used ajar the ill-ease was entirely
cnted. It has now been nearly a year and a half
since, and there is not a vestige of ihe disease re
mainine. except ihe scars from the deep pits formed
by the disease. It ia impossible for me to descril-o
in a certificate Ihe severity of ihe disease and my
suffering, but I will l e pleased to give a fuller ac
count to any person wanting further satisfaction,
who will call on me. At the time I commenced
using the Rose Ointment I would have given bun
died of do laia to lie rid of the disense. Since u
sing it, I have recommended it to several persons,
(among them my mother, who had the disease bad
ly on her arm,) who w. rea'l cured by il.
