THE GREAT PREVENTIVE MEDICINE!;
Though Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills have;
achieved triumph upon triumph, in the cure of ob- j
Minate cases of disease, even after they had been ,
entirely given up, and after all other remedies had I
failed, yet their power of prevention may be justly
esteemed ,

mischief also, and are so far an evil. Were it
within human power to maintain the
ELECTRICAL EQUILIBRIUM
between the earth and air, there would be no occa
sion for storms, for the air would always be pure.
So of the human body. If kept free from mor
bid humors, the action is regular and healthy. But
if those humors are allowed to accumulate, a cri
sis, or, in other words, a storm, will arise, which
is always more or less dangerous.
wright's indian vegetable pills
sre equally well calculated to prevent the storm,
or 10 allay it when it comes. But
prevention is better than cure,
and less troublesome. The

A Loi-e-Lcttcr iu Rhynic.
Composed so7nc time after the 'flood of Admiral
Noah, by the heart smitten Jacob addressed to
the flame-inspiring Nancy.
To thee, dear Nancy, thee, my sweeting,
Your Jacob sends these few lines greeting :
With thee, by all the powers above, ;Jl
I'm over head and ears in love I
Young Cupid took his station sly
In one bright corner of your eye; 1
And from his bow let fly a dart '
Which piere'd my ribs and hit my heart
Opened a way so clear and wide, 't
It's quite deranged my inward side: f"0f' J '
Indeed, so restless have I grown, . ." .
I cannot bear to live alone. . ' '
By day and night I always fancy . ,;
I'd like to walk or talk with Nancy. '.
In thee, dear sweet-heart, I behold,-- .
More tempting charms, by far, than gold-T: : .
Nor would the world, without you, be
A world ;of any worth to rner- ;
Coodness, when beaming from your eyes,
Far mote than cribs of corn I prize;
And thy sweet smile, howe'er protracted.
Would make me with delight distracted.
Cotton, when ginrul and neatly press'd,
Is not so fair as your white breast; -
Nor is tobacco half so sweet, " -To
those who love the weed to eat;.! &
As are your ruby lips to one m A j
Who lungs to press them to his own.
Then, Nancy, take me unto you, : oIr
I'll prove forever kind and true
My love shall last so long, no doubt '
Savannah's stream shall first run out
And when death comes to put us under,
And cut our marriage knot asunder,
I'll strive to die the day that you do,
And thus we'll leave the world as few do,
So, if through life, with-me you take up,
In death I'll still'be your dear Jacob !

a metallic plate cooled almost to a freezing
point by muriate of soda, and to this the heated
plate must be suddenly transferred.
2. The next operation is to give the plate a
coating of iodine. This is accomplished by
suspending it over a dish with iodine divided
into small pieces. This process should be con
ducted in a darkened apartment. The requisite
lime for ihe condensation of the iodine varies
from five minutes to half an hour. When thia
process is satisfactorily accomplished, the plate
should be immediately fixed in a frame, with
caiches and bands, and placed in the camera ?
and ihe transference from one receptacle to
another should be made as quickly as possible,
and with 'only as much light as will enable the
operator to see what he is doing.
3. The next operaiiqn is to obtain the draw
ing'. Having placed the camera in. front of (he
objf ct to be represented, and the lens being ad
justed to the proper focus, the ground glass of
the camera is withdrawn, and the prepared plate
is substituted for it, and ihe whole is left till
ihe na!ural images are drawn by the natural
light from the object. The time necessary to
leave the plate for a complete delineation of
ihe object depends upon the inlensisy of the
Iighu
4. Immediately after removing the plate from
the camera it is next held over ihe vapor of
mercury, which is placed in a cup at the bot
tom of a box, and a spirit lamp applied below
till the temperature rises to 140 degrees of
Fahrenheit. This process is intended to bring
out the image, which is not visible when with
drawn from ihe camera.
. 5. The next operation is toa; the impression.
In order, to this the coating on which the de-
sion was. imnressed must be removed, to Dre-
serve it from being decomposed by the rays of
light. For this purpose the plate is placed in
a trough containing common water, plunging
and wiihdrawing it immediately, and then plung-
ing it into a soluiion of salt. and water, till the
yellow coating has disappeared.
This new science or art has been distinguish-
by different names. It was first called Photog-
raphv from two Greek words signifying aright-
ing by light., It was afterwards called the art
of Photopenic drawing, or drawing produced by
light. xl. Daguerre, the discoverer, gaVe it bottom, he thrusts m his body, sduts up tne

the Greek, and are expressive, in some degree,
of ihe nature of the process. The term Da-
ruerreotype, however, is generally made use of,
derived from the name of the discoverer.

The atmosphere immediately incumbent upon
the' earth has the power of absorbing morewofv
the blue rays of light than at greater altitudes;
and thus when we cast our eyes on high, we
look through a volume of the densest air replete)
with blue light ; and so likewise if we looki
abroad over an extensive tract of country, the
horrizon of which is formed by distant hill,,
they appear blue, or, in other words, they par
take of the color of the medium through" which
they are viewed. If we journey to them, the
blue color gradually vanishes, and at length
their ordinary colors appear ; and now, looking
from the hills to the spot from whence we
journeyed, it in turn appears blue. The ridge
called the " Blue Mountains," in Australia, an
other of the same name in America, and many
oiher3' elsewhere, are not really blue, for they
possess all the diversity of scenery which their
climates can give; but to the eye, when first
discovered, they all at first appear blue, and
they have retained the name.
. In anddilion to. the numerous mechanical uses
of Wood," says Mr. Griffiths, " and its chem
ical uses as a sort of artificial heat, the chemist
discovers that it is capable of a most curious
change or transmutation into edible matter: in
fact, a kind of bread may be made of wqod.-r
This is effected by selecting the saw-dust of
the least resinous wood that of beech, for ex
ample washing it with water to remove all
soluble matters, and then gently dry it in an
oven ; after this, it is mixed with marshmallow
T
juice, and formed into cakes which are baked
at a high temperature ! and these reduced to
fine powder, with the addition of a little corn
flour and leaven from a dough, which, when
moulded into loaves and baked, constiiuies bread
more palatable than that prepared-in time of
scarcity from bran and husks of corn." -
Vacuums. If a flexible vessel be emptied
of air, its sides will be almost crushed together
by the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere.
And if a tube, partly filled with fluid, be
emptied of its air, the fluid will rise to the top.
