Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimulal
tiny Agent of the Stomach anti Intestines. It
is extracted from the Digestive Stomach of the
Ox, thus forming an Artificial Digestive Fluid,
precisely like the natural Gastric Juice in its
Chemical powers, and furnishing a Complete and
Perfect Substitute tor it. By the aid of this
preparation, the pains and evils of Indigestion and
Dyspepsia arc removed, just as they would he by
a healthy Stomach. It is doing wonders for Dys

vous Decline, and Dyspeptic Consumption, sup
posed to be on the verge of thegrave. The
Scientific Evidence upon which it is based, is in
the highest degree Curious end Remarkable.
SCIENTFIC EVIDENCE
BARON LF7IBIG in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Diges
tive Fluid, analogous to the Gastric Juice, may
be readily prepared from the meat and eggs, will
be softened, changed, and digested, just in the
same manner as they would be in the human
stomach."
Dr. COMBE, in his valuable writings on the
"'Physiology of Digestion," observes that " a
dimit.ution of the doe quantity of the Gastric
Juice is a prominent and all-prevailing came of
Dyspepsia ~" and he states that " a ditinguished
professer of medicine in London, who was severe
ly afilided with this complaint, finding everything
else to fish!, had recourse to the Gastric Juice, ob
tained from the stomachs of living animals, which
proved completly successful."
Dr. GRAHAM, author of the famous works
on "Vegetable Diet„" says t "It is a remarkable
fact in physiology, that the rtomachs of animals,
macerated in water, impart to the thtid the prop
erty of dissolving various articles of food, and of
effecting a kind of artificial digestion of them in
no wise different from the natural digestive pro
cess."

AS A DYSPEPSIA CURER,
Rr. HOLGIITON'S PEPSIN has produced the
most marvelous effects, in curing cases of DeMil
ty, Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and Dyspeptic
Consumption.• It is impossible to give the details
of cases in the limits adds advertisement; but
authenticated certificates have been given of inure
than Two Hundred Remarkable Cures, in Phila
delphia, New York and Boston alone. These
were nearly all desperate eases, and the cures
were nut only rapid and wonderful, but perma
nent.
It is a great Nervous Antidote, and particularly
useful tim tendency to lisitous disorder, Liver

THE MODERN BELLE.
Extract from Mr. Sark's Poem, read at the late
Manchester, N. H., Fain
The daughter sits in the parlor
And rocks in her easy chair,
She'a clad in her silks awl satins,
And jewels are in her hair—
She winks and giggles and simpers,
And simpers and giggles and winks,
And though she talks but little,
'Tis vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in russett,
And rugged and seedy at that—
His coats are all out at the elbow,
He wears a most shocking bud hat,
He's hoarding cud saving his shillings,
So carefully day by day,
While she, on her beaux and poodles,
Is throwing them all away.
She lies n-bed in the morning,
Till nearly the hour of noon ;
Then comes down snapping and snarling,
Because she was called so soon,
Her hair is still in the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbled with paint,
Remains of her last night's blushes,
Before she intended to %int.
She doats upon men unshaven,
And men with " the flowing hair,"
She's eloquent over moustaches,
They give such a foreign air.
She talks of Italian music,
And Sins in love with the moon,
And tho' hut a mouse should meet her,
She sinks away iu a swoon.
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are so very white,
Her jewels are so very heavy,
And her head so very light ;
Her color is made of cosmetics,
Though this she never will own,
Her body's made !costly of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with a fellow,
Who swells with a foreign air;
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair;
One of the very best matches—
Both aro well mated in life,
She's gut a fuel for her husband,
He's got a fool for his wife.
Probable Depopulation of Ireland .
From the London Times.
THERE is a branch of statistics which
has been lately forced into notice by actu
al events of a new and extraordinary char
acter. The "statist" no longer confines
himself to populations, that is, to the num
ber of persons dwelling quietly in certain
countries and cities and such sober facts,
for society itself is undergoing a change,
and is no longer content to dwell quiety.
Strange to say, our railways, our steamers.
and our mastery of the ocean have brought
us back, in some respects. to the habits of
the Nomads and MassagetEe, or the crusa
ders and pilgrims of a later age. Within
half a year six million visits have been paid
to the gredt shrine of art by persons who
have travelled scores, and hundreds, and
thousands of miles for the purpose. Ex
cursion trains bring up four or five thous
and a day by one line of railway. Eighty
five thousand children sang "God save the
Queen, at Manchester, on Friday, and fifty
thousand adults repeated the hymn the
next day in Hyde Hark. We forget how
• many millions are returned as having trav
elled by railway last year. The visits to
the British Museum and the Thames Tun
, nel aro now of the millionaire class.—
with a sprinkling of the ever-wandering
Scotch, and some of the less fortunate or
respectable of our own countrymen." Be
they what they may, the fact remains that
we are witnessing a phenomenon of the
same class with the migrations .of the
Gauls, the Goths, the Huns, the Turks,
the Magyars, and other tribes, that, be
fore the settlement of Europe, roamed
about looking for a home. "Familiarity,"
it is said, "breeds contempt," and certain
it is that no sooner is a great fact familiar
than men treat it with indifference, and do
not even seem to apprehend it correctly,
much less to follow it up to its consequen-
In Ireland the fact is brought home to
the understanding in so forcible a manner
by the actual sight of emigrant-trains emi
grant-ships, depopulated districts, ruined
habitations, and labour beginning to rise
in the market, that it cannot be disposed
of so easily as in this country. Tho jour
nals there have styled the movement the
"Celtic exodus;" and, considering the
actual difference between the condition of
an average Irish peasant at home, And that
which lie easily attains to in the United
States, we shall not quarrel with the reflec
tion which the name seems to cast on the
rulers left behind. The writers who treat
of this exodus tell us that it will go on till
the whole race is departed and their place
left untenated. Having once begun, the
migration will go on; and the strong social
instincts that have hitherto bound the ,
Irishman to the soil of his birth will now
opperate in drawing him to the great west
ward stream. In England it has been an
ticipated by some writers, that when the
Irish population should be reduced to a
certain low level, the inducements to re
main would rise so high that the migration
would stop ; and the remnant left behind
would be contentedly and permanently at
tached to the soil. The Irish authorities,
as we are disposed to think, very correct
ly, do not expect the migration to stop as
soon as the population has assumed its
proportion to the work to be done. The
people who have been in the habit of pay
ing thirty shillings an acre, would not now
remain on the land if it were reduced
twenty shillings or ton shillings—they
will have it at no price. Their minds are
completely made up to go after their
friends—to go home; that home not being
"Ould Ireland„' but the "Far West!"—
The stream once set that way, it will not
stop till Ireland is absolutely depopulated,
and the only question is, when will that
be? Twenty years at the present rate
would take away the whole of the indus
trious classes, leaving only the proprietors
and their families, members of the learned
professions, and those whose age or infir
mities keep them at home. Twenty years
are but a short limo in treating great so
cial or political questions. It is more
than twenty years since the passage of the
Reform Bill. What if it should really
come to pass that before another twenty
years the whole Celtic race shall have dis
appeared from these isles, and the problem
of seven centuries received its solution?—
We dwell in wonderful times in an age of
great diooverics, splendid improvements,
and grand Consummations. Art has al
ways been found the handmaid of human
developements. The discovery of gunpow
der put an end to the little wars and little
states of the middle ages, and introduced
larger political manipulations. The dis
covery of printing prepared for the revival
of learning and arts, and paved the way to
the Reformation. The discovery of the
mariner's compass showed our navigators a
path to the East Indies and the New
World. It may be the first mission of
railways to sot all the populations of the
Old World on the move, and send them in
quest of independent and comfortable
. homes.
And when will this moveruept stop
Incuriousness and prejudice are ready with
the reply, that it will stop, at all events,
when the Celtic race is exhausted. The
Englishman, wo aro assured, is too attach
ed to his country, and too comfortable at
home, to cross the Atlantic. But surely
it is very premature to name any such pe
riod for this movement, or to say before
hand what English laborers will do, when
seven or eight millions of Irish have led
the way to comfort and independence.—
The Englishman is now attached to his own
home, because he knows of no other. His
ideas of other regions are dark and dismal.
He trembles at the thought of having 'to
grope his way through the Cimmerian ob
scurity of another hemisphere. The sin
gle fact that he will have no g. parish" in
America is, in his mind, a fatal bar to lo-
4'4rittl' *
comotion. But all this is quick passing
away. Geography, union work-houses,
ocean mails, and the daily sight of letters
arriving in ten days from prosperous emi
grants, are fast uprooting the British rus
tic from the soil, and giving him cosmop
olitan ideas. In a very few years the ques
tion uppermost in his mind will be whether
he will be better off here or there?—
Whether he should go with the young and
enterprising, or stay at home with the old
and stupid ? If a quarter of a million
British subjects have left this country for
the Australian colonies in the present gen
eration, there may easily be a much larger
movement to a nearer and more wealthy
region. It has been imagined, indeed, that I
suck migration will have a natural tenden
cy to stop itself at a certain stage. We
are told that the English labourer will find
a new field in Ireland, deserted by the
Celt. It will, however, cost no more ef
fort of mind to cross the ocean at once than
to cross the Irish channel for a land which,
in the English mind, must ever be associ
ated with violence and blood. High wa
ges, again, we are told, the enjoyment of a
liberal government, and an improved con
dition, will bind the Englishman afresh to
the soil of his ancestors. But when you
make the English labourer richer, more in
dependent, intelligent, and more of a citi
zen, you have put him more in a condition
and temper to seek his fortune wherever
it may be found. The men who in the U.
States leave their homes for the Far West
are generally they who have prospered
where they are, and who want the excite
ment of another start in life. On the whole,
we are disposed to think that the prospect
is far too serious to be neglected, or treat
ed as a merely speculative question The
depopulation of these isles, supposing the
Celtic exodus to follow, constitutes about
as serious a political event as can be con
ceived ; for a change of dynasty or any
other political revolution is nothing com
pared with a change in the people them
selves. All the departments of industry,
the army, the navy, the cultivation of the
fields, the rent of landed property, the pro
fit of trades, the payment of rates and taxes,
depend on the people, and without the peo
ple there must ensue a general collapse of
all our institutions. We are, however,
rather desirous to recommend the question
to the consideration of others, and especi
ally of our statesmen, than to answer our
selves.
New Purchase for Liberia.
The New Jersey Colonization Society
has recently made a new and valuable pur
chase of land in Africa, for colonization
purposes. It lies beyond the previous
bounds of the colony, interior, in a north- 1
easterly direction from Cape Mesurado, be
tween the St. John's and St Paul rivers,
and contains about 250 square miles, or
160,000 acres. Its nearest point is abbot
20 miles from the coast. It is represent
ed ns having a beautiful elevation, an
abundance of sweet, cool water, in run
ning brooks from the mountains, over
white, pebbly bottoms, excellent timbered
forests, plenty of brick clay, and what is
more note-worthy, a good supply of gigan
tic stone suitable for building purposes.—
Some of the brooks have elevated banks,
from five to sixty feet high, and offer ex
cellent mill sites.
The whole tract was purchased of the
natives for the sum of $754, and what is
specially gratifying, is, that a strong de
sire was expressed by the native king and
their people to have the colony established
within their borders, that they might en
joy the protection and advantages of itt-'
struction which it would afford them. The
site of a town had been selected and twen
ty-five families of old settlers had volun
teered to commence the settlement.

Dreadful Affair near afiltimare.
BALTISIORE, Dec. 18, P. M.—A dread.;
ful affair took place on Wednesday night,
in Baltimore county, eieht mice film the
city. The 'house of Mr. eikes IN 28 brined,
and his wife and daughter perished in the
flames.
From the particulars as they have reach
ed us, Mr. Seikes left hone early on Wee
nesday morning, to avoid semis yersors
who were in pursuit of him. Lale in the
evening, two strange-locking men were ob
served in the vicinity of the house. Sonic
of the neighbors saw the men hastily leave,
a few minutes after the flames were discov
covered. As soon as the flames was ex
tinguished, the charred end mutilated re
mains of Mrs. Seikes and her daughter
were found. From the peculiar circum
stances of the affair, there is every reason
to believe that they were murdered in cold
blood by these two men, nod the house af
terwards fired, to conceal their fiendish
act. What motive prompted them to it,
no one can divine Great excitement pre
vailsin the neighborhood.
NZMEROrS CoxvEßsron FROM Ro-
MANISM IN TRELAND.-At a meeting of
the Irish Church Mission Society, the fol
lowing facts were stated by one of the
speakers. "In less than threeyears, 20,-
000 to 30,000 converts bad been made
through the operations of this society. In
the west of Galway, in Connemara, there
there were but 500 Protestants when they
began; now there were from 5,000 to 6,-
000. A tract of country, fifty miles in
length and thirty in breath, in that dis
trict, is now characteristically Protestant:
before it was Romanist. ri he Bishop of
Tuam has issued an appeal in order to
build twelve new churches in Galway for
the spiritual necessities of the converts.—
At Sallerna, where one was to be built,
the number of sittings stated by the mis
sionary as requisite. was 900."
Sending Letters by Telegraph.
It is stated that 'a gentleman in New
port (Ky.,) is perfecting an application of
electricity for propelling a box containing
letters over wires from place to place, on
the telegraphic principles. The experi
ment over wires of 600 yards in length,
has, it is said, worked to a charm.--In no
ticing this statement, the Boston Trans.
cript says:—
_
We learn that parties in this city have
been for some time past experimenting for
the same end with a prospect of success—
and that the project has been thought
plausible by some of the most practical
men who have contributed liberally to
wards its accomplishment.
