ly proper Physician to apply to.
DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal Col
lege of Surgeon.. London, graduate from one of
'the moat eminent Colleges of the United States,
and the greater part of whose life has been spent
in the Ilospitals of London, Paris, Philadelphia,
and elsewhere, hue effected some of the most as

troubled with ringing in the ears and head when
asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at sud

A CERTAIN DISEASE.—It is a melancholy ,
fach that thousands fell Victims to this horrid dis

nature and indulging in a certain secret habit.—
Such persons before contemplating.

promote connubial happiness. Indeed, withoitt
these, the journey through life •liccomes a weary

The Probable Death of King
Alcohol.
If I was a great Legislator,
I tell you just what I would do;
I would battle down old King Alcohol,
And slay all his armies too.
Now listen awhile, and I'll tell you,
What vile and base things he has done;
Although he is souse hundred years old,
lie is worse now than when he was young.
He has gathered an army about hint,
To puff him and keep up his fame;
lle promises riches and honors,
if they never speak ill of his name.
Now these puffers are worse than sea pirates,
1%6, Quit tor the sake of groat gain ;
_ _
they have robbed many children of fathers
thousand oft`uilers they've slain.
They'll take ;he fast cent from your coffers,
nor children must beg for their bread
goo/ t o il me, yd !oTers of freedom, .
Ain't it time titii vile mOnnich was dead]
Yes, we'll siny him, and his armies together,
Or drive them clean out of the State;
We'll ell be one great Legislature,
And show the vile tyrants their fate.
I bear he has boon in one skirmish,
In which he.was made very lame;
They any he can never recover:
Three cheers for the bravo State of Maine.
We must not be beat by our neighbors,
In things that are lawful and right ;
Come, then, ye dear lovers of freedom,
Come, join in this alcohol tight.
We won't let him live auy longer,
No ! millions can't bribe us to save ;
We'll kill Mtn, we'll show him no mercy,
And not shed n tear o'er his grave.

"It's almost time," said little Elsie, fix
ing her troubled eyes on the old church
clock opposite the wirido* where she sat,
and then turned her sharp but sickly glance
on her pale faced mother: .
"Yes, Elsie; but don't be alarmed if he
should be himself," replied the wan look
ing woman, with a heavy sigh, "the fright
you took lately has injured you more than
a thousand colds. No one shall harm you,
dear; I will defend you to my death," she
added, with determination, as if speaking
to herself.
"I don't care for me, mother, a bit; but
when he tries to strike you, oh! how I
shiver, and how I almost hate him. I
can't help it mother, indeed I can't she
quickly continued, as her mother looltid tip
reprovingly, "just think of that sweet pa
tient little sufferer,
a cripple perhaps for
life; how pale and helpless he lies there,
my dear, darling little brother."
The mother turned her head slowly, un
til her two dun, blue eyes rested fully upon
an emaciated child; sleeping uneasily in a
broken cradle.
"Your father was good aid kind once,"
she murmured, even while a frown gather
ed on her brow at the sight, "and now,
when he makes one of his resolves, which;
alas! is but of short duration, h,ti oict sna
tore comes out like sunshine. P.oin. little
Henry, that was a cruel blow given by a
father's hand; but who is responsible!" she
exclaimed, suddenly starting from her seat,
while her temples and cheeks were crim
soned; "Oh! had I the power, not a ruin
shop should stand in this city by night
fall."
",Mother don't look so angry," said El
sie, with quivering lip.
"God forgive rue," replied the woman,
stooping and kissing the blueish 'forehead
of her child, "but when I think of what ho
has been—"
The door was pushed violently open and
a girl of some fifteen summers burst into
the room. Her fine face was lighted up,
and her eyes shone like two brilliants, as
she exclaimed, with vehemence, "oh! moth
er, mother, can you imagine what news I
have for you! It is so good, so glorious;
the new liquor law has passed, and they
say that in one week not a glass of intoxi
cating drink can be bad for love or money.
I felt so delighted when I heard it," she
continued as the tears struggled with her
smiles, "that I left the shop on the instant,
and hurried home to tell you. Now I
must be back again; it's worth a thousand
dollars to see that smile on your face;" and
she hurried again back from the room.
The drunkard's wife sat down dreamily.
She could hardly bring her mind to realize
the truth of what she had heard; presently
the consumptive child at her side pressed
the trembling hand of her mother, and in
sweet but faltering tones, uttered the sim
ple sentence, "God is good, mother."
Instantly raising, the poor woman laid
aside her work, and hurrying to bier little
narrow room adjoining, she fell upon her
knees, completely overpowered by her emo
tion. An hour passed before she rejoined
her sick children. The hour had been
HUNTINGDON, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1852.
spent in prayers of thanksgiving, and tears
of joy.
With a more cheerful heart than she had
known for many years, she hurried about
her work. It was impossible to make the
room look neater, for the most battered
furniture shone with cleanliness; but she
went out herself and purchased some lux
uries, such as none but Elsie had enjoyed
for many a day, and drawing the table to
the middle of the floor, she set it out with
all the ware that the closet contained.—
Elsie looked on, pleased and happy, only
asking her mother if she thought her fath
er would be home for supper.
"I know he will," was the firm answer.
When the two little boys came from
school towards evening, they crept around
the tabit3 peeping at the pie, and asking
all sorts of questions; whether that was
really tea that stolid on the stove, and if
they might have buticr on their bread?
and when they were assn.:9d that they
might, they moved around on for
tear of disturbing their sick brother, talking
to each other with the delighted glances of
their intelligent fiices.
At dark the eldest driughter returned,
and with a beautiful smile she said, "moth
er,l saw father at the corner of the street
ad what do you thinkl ho had a lobster
in his hand for supper, and he was as sober
as he could be. He did'nt notice me, but
I heard him say with a laugh, that if he
could'nt get liquor in Portland, he was
sure that he should'nt go out of the way
for it; and the man ho was talking with,
mother, was Mr. L, President of the
temperance society. 0! it does seem as if
wo should be happy once more. And how
nice every thing looks, not nicer than usu
al," she added quickly, "but we see
through different eyes this night, I sup.
pose."
The mother was still sileut, but hov;
high was her heart beating with new and
joyful hope. It seemed as if that heart
would at times leap from its enclosure:
and when the husband and father neared
home, she sank pale and trembling upon her
seat.
Eddy and Willie, the oldest boys, stood
in the door way; the father caught Eddy
and swung him up with a "hi-yah, sonny;"
then breaking off claw after claw of the
huge lobster; he filled their hands. He
entered the room carelessly, and glancing
at the table, deposited his burden upon it,
took off his hat, and for the first time for
five months sat down by the window beside
the sick child. Her little folded hands
were instantly held forth to be clasped by
his, and as ho took them a tear trembled
in his eyelids.
"1-lave you no brighter light than thatr ,
he asked, pointing to the, dying flame that
shed a feeble ray over the tidy table.—
"Send and get some oil."
"I have no money, Edward," said his
wife timidly.
"No money, hey? Well, I reckon I
can let you have a little;" and bending
forward he threw nearly two dollars in
change upon her lap. , The glance which
she gave him thrilled his whole being. A
moan from the little fellow in the cradle
startled him. -He went and stood uneasily
at the child's side, and gazed down into the
wan face that looked so suffering-like and
ghastly.
"Wife!" he exclaiined, turning up
ruptly away and walking the floor hur
riedly, "If ,I have prayed once that this
new law might go into operation, I have
twenty times. Since yesterday .morning,
when old Hart told me that he did'nt care
to sell a single glass, I have been thinking
what a curse I have been to you all, even
to that little babe,"
His voice faltered, while his oldest
daughter wiped away the tears that were
streaming over her cheeks as she sat in the
darkest corner of the room.
"And," he continued, "I've made a sol
emn vow to God, that I will never touch
rum again; and just think how much it
will assist me to know that I cannot go to
this corner and there to be tempted by the
site of that miserable poison."
"God be thanked," said the glad wife,
bowing her head upon the mantle to hide
her - steaming eyes; "for there never was a
better husband than you Edward, when
you are yourself. As for dear little Hen
ry, I trust he will get well soon; don't
think of the past but remember the fu
ture."
"I will, so help me God!" exclaimed the
husband in deep solemn tones.
Even Elsie was wheeled up to the sup
per table, and joy beamed in every face as
they sat together.
"In loss than a month," said the repen
tant man to his wife, "I mean to put you in
a better house; and as soon as 1 can I'll
hoist all of this old trash of lumber out of
doors, and we will get in its stead as nice
furniture as any body need have in our cir
cumstances. I declare 'tis a comfort,
though, to see you all eating so heartily,
and looking so happy. Eveu Elsie's cheeks
are as red as roses."
The child smiled merrily, but the moth-
er kept down a sigh that was swelling in
her bosom; she knew that her fair girl
would soon be in a happier home than earth
could afford, but oh! it was a consolation to
feel that a sober father would stand beside
the dying bed of the little one.
"Father," said rogueish Eddy, "I like
the mayor, though, don't you ?"
"Like him? that man will have no thorns
in his dying pillow. I believe that a
thousand lips, at least, are invoking a
blessing on him to-night."
"God bless him,' said the wife and moth
er softly, and oh! there was joy in the heart.
A Castle and a Heart Besieged.
Tho' following romantic story is one of
several, which pleasantly relieve the gra
ver History of Hungary, introductory to
Kossuth and his Generals, by H. W. Do
Puy—now in the press of Phinncy and
Co., Buffalo :
Murany, one of the most important fort
resses in the possession of the Transylva
nians, was lost in a manner characteristic
pf tho age of chivalry. A castle of great
strength, in the centre of a country so of
ten the seat of eival war, the name of Mu
rany frequently occurs in Hungarian histo
ry. At one time the Diet complains of it
as a harbour for traitors and robbers.; at
another, a solemn decree of the nation indi
cates it as the safe-guard of the kingdom,
and appoints it as the place where the sa
cred crown of St. Stephen should be depo
sited. At this period it was in the hands
of a woman. Maria, the lady of Murany,
a young and beautiful widow, educated a
strict Protestant, had little difficulty in
choosing the party she should adopt; and
readily admitted a ffiitachment of Transyl
vanian troops to strengthen the garrison of
her castle, but only on condition that she
should retain the coil - nand. The ill-dis
ciplined soldiery of Transylvania were eas
;:r conquered in the field; but as long as
protected their retreat; their entire
hopeless. A strong
b sl‘'ul o ub d ir y ea: lf i(3. ;:o w op a s s a p i n ni Z ' Wessel:3l: l 3l "re 4e7
tached to besiege the castle. As Wesset
;.4
enyi surveyed its natural and artific.,..
defences, he almost despaired of effecia'o
its reduction; and, when he heard that
Maria commanded the garrison, his despair
was embittered by the thought that his
hard earned laurels might now be tarnished
by defeat at the hands of woman. All the
arts of war were expended in vain against
the huge mountain fortress; every attempt
cost the blood of some of the King's best
troops, and served only as amusement to
the garrison. A protracted siege rarely
improves the discipline of an army, and
rumors of victories on the side of the ene
my were not wanting to discourage the be
siegat: rime, too, now pressed; and, as
force was still evidently powerless against
Murany, Wesselenyi at last determined to
try what persuasion might effect on its com
wandress. Disguising himself in the dress
of an inferior officer, the general appeared
before the gates as a bearer of a flag of
truce, to demand a parley with the mistress
of the castle; and cunningly did he talk of
favorable conditions and royal rewards, but
his opponent only laughed at his offers, as
she had done at his threats. A good gen
eral, however, always finds out the weak
points in his enemy's defences, and perhaps
the eyes of Maria had expressed no dis
pleasure at the handsome face and manly
figure of the envoy, nor probably were the
beauty and the courage of the command
ress without their influence on Wesselen
yi's determintion. Certain it is, that next
day a trumpet summoned the garrison to a
parley, and that this time the herald bore
a letter offering the heart and hand of
Wesselonyi to his beautiful enemy, to
whom he confessed the ruse ho had prac
tised; but vowed. that love had taken am
ple revenge for his temerity. Caught with
the romance, but determied to test its sin
cerity, Maria answered that if the writer's
courage equalled his audicity, and he was
willing to pursue the fortune he tempted,
he migt find, at midnight, a ladder against
the northern tower, in which a light would
be burning, and wUre, if he cause alone,
he might, hear further of his suit.
Wesselenyi was too good a knight to re
fuse the bidding of a ~ l adye fayre, hazard
ous though it might be. At midnight, and
alone, he left his camp, and, gaining the
summit of the rook, found the promised
light in the northern tower. The ladder
hung from on open window, and silently
and cautiously did the lover gain the height;
but uo sooner had he sprung into the tow
er than he found himself suddenly seized
from behind and dragged to the ground
while a body of armed men entered the
chamber and bound him in chains. Blind
folded, he was led forward, he knew not
whither, till a harsh voice commanding a
halt, thus addressed the prisoner: "Sir
' knight; strategy is fair in love as well as
war; you have delivered yourself into the
power of your enemies, and it is for them
to dispose of you as they ehoosei but the
counnaudress of the castle is inclined to'
I mercy, and on condition of your deserting
the cause of the King, she is willing not
• only to give you freedom, but to bestow
herself and her vast possessions on you by
marriage. In an hour I Mlle to receive
your answer—acceptance or death?" Rude
as was the trial where love and life plead
ed against loyalty and duty, the soldier
withstood it manfully, and, at the hour's
conclusion, returned only a sullen answer,
"Better die than betray!" Scarce had
the words passed his lips when the ban
dage fell from his eyes; Szecsi Maria stood
before him, in all her beauty; a smile play
ed around her mouth, and, extending her
hand to the astonished Wesst..lenyi, she
exclaimed, "Take it, noble 1: and
with it all I have, for thy constutcy !lath
won my heart; keep up thy faith to me as
well as thou halt done to thy King, and
Maria will gladly acknowledge thee her
conqueror."
Beau t i tiff Extract,
I saw.the temple reared by the hands
of men, standing with its high pinnacles
in the distant plain. The storms beat up
on it—the God of nature hurled his thun
derbolts against it—and yet it stood as
firm as adamant. Revelry was in its
halls--the gay, the happy, the young and
the beautiful, were there. I returned
and the temple was no more—its high
walls lay in scattered ruins, moss and
wild grass, grew wildly there, and ut mid
night hour the owl's cry added to the
young and gay who reveled there, and had
passed away.
I saw a child rejoicing in his youth—
the idol of his father. I returned, the
child had become old. Trembling with
the weight of years, he stood the last of
his generation—a stranger amid the deso
lation around him.
I saw the old oak standing in all its
pride on the "mountain—the birds were
caroling on its boughs. I returned. The
oak was leafless and sapless—the winds
were playing at their pastime through its
branches. -
"Who is the destroyer?" said I to my
guardian angel,
"It is Time," said he,--"when the morn
ing stars sang together with joy, over the
made world, he commenced his course,

forth, and with one foot on the sea, and
the other on the land, lift up his voice to

Early Times in Indiana,
Said Major Oudesley, as he casually
dropped in on us yesterday morning, and
commenced talking away, in his usual qui
et, chatty and peculiar manner :
"I'm sick and tired of this artificial way
of doing things in these latter days."
"Why so, Major ?"
"There is an eternal site too much par
ade about everything that is going on, I
was at a wedding last night; the daughter
of an old and much esteemed friend was to
be married, and I was so urgently invited
that I couldn't help going. There was so
much fuss and parade that I was perfectly
disgusted. I could not help comparing
the proceedings where a couple were mar
ried in Lawrenceburg, many years ago,
when Indiana formed part of the great
western territory. At that time the set
tlements of the emigrants were mostly con
fined to the rich bottom lands of the water,
courses. Lawrenceburg was a small vil
lage of a few log cabins. My father was
acting magistrate for the distt iet, and very
promptly attended to all the various duties
of that office, in addition to which he was
in the habit of doing a great deal of Blau
ual labor on his own hook,"
"That was when you wasn't big enough I
to do much, Major
"Exactly; I was a tow-leaded brat of
some eight or ten years old when the lad
dent I am about to relate, took place, but
I remember all the . particulars as well as
if it occurred yesterday. You see it was
about dinner time one day in the fall of the
year, when the old man, being engaged in
laying in a supply of wood fur the winter,
drove up his ox team with a pretty solid
load of fuel.
"Just then a young and unsophisticated
couple entered the village, hand in hand,
inquired for the Squire, and were duly di
rected to the house. The youth was bare
footed, and wore a coarse tow-linen shirt
and pants, and rough straw hat of home
manufacture. Ills fair companion was
dressed in a blue cotton frock, pink cotton
apron, fine bonnet, and coarse brogan shoeti r
without stockings.
"We have come to gut married," says
the young man tq the old lady, my 'with
er, who was properly busy among the old
pots and kettles.

functionary due notice of the important
business in band. •
"1 can't atop till I unload this wood,"
said the old man, "tell them to come out

Out they went. . .
"The old man was on the top of the cart
and every time he threw off a stick • ,he ask

loaded, he had the youth's whole story,
having ascertained the names, •agcs,,.end.

to promote her happiness, etc.
"The young;ters gave simple and satis

"In the meantime the old.le4y, perfectly
understanding dad's way of doing things,
had scut out to say to the people that a
wedding was coming off at the house; and,
by the time the wood was unloaded, quite,
a crowd had collected to witness the cere
mony:
"The old fellow, having pitched out the
last stick, and picked up his long goad,
stood up in the cart, and commenced the
performance.
