A CERTAIN DISEASE.—It is a melancholy !itch that thousands fall Victims to this horrid dis ease owing to the Unskillfulness of ignorant pre tenders, who by the use of that deadly poison Mercury, ruin the Constitution, causing the most serious symptoms of this dreadful disease to make their appearance, such as affections of the head, throat, nose, skin, etc., progressing with fright ful rapidity till death puts a period to their dread ful autlering, by sending them to that Bourne whence no traveler returns.

I Hantingdoa, Feb. 116, 1852. HUNTINGDON, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1852. From the Philadelphia Bulletin, Sonnet to Louis Napoleon. fly GEORGE H. BORER. Oh! shameless thief! a natibb trusted thee With all the wealth her bleeding hands had won, Proclaimed thee guardian of her liberty : So proud a title never lay upon Thy Uncle's forehead. Thou wast linked with one First President of Francs, whose name shall be Fixed in the heavens, like God's eternal sun— Second to him alone—to Washington ! Was it for thee to stoop unto a crown ? Pick up the Bourbon's leavings yield thy height Of simple majesty, and totter down, Full of discovered frailties—sorry sight ! One of a mob of kings? Or, baser grown, Was it for thee to steal it in the night? Washington's Farewell to his Army. The morning of the 4th of December, 1783, was a sad and heavy one to the rem nant of the American army in the city of New York. The noon of that day was to witness the farewell of Washington—he was to bid adieu to his military comrades forever. The officers who had been with him in solemn council, the privates who had fought and bled in the "heady fight" under his orders, were to hear his commands no longer. The manly form and dignified countenance of the "GREAT CAPTAIN" was henceforth to live only in their memories. As the hour of noon approached, the whole garrison, at the request of Washing ton himself, was put in motion, and march ed down Broad street to Francis's tavern, his head-quarters. Ho wished to take leave of private soldiers alike with the offi cers, and bid them all adieu. His favorite light infantry were drawn up in line facing inwards, through Pearl street to the foot of Whitehall, where a barge was in readi ness to convey him to Powles' Hook. Within the dining room of the tavern were gathered the general and field officers to take their farewell. Assembled there were Knox, Greene, Steuben, Gater, Clinton, and others, who had served with him faithfully and truly in the tented field; but, alas! where were others who had entered the war with him seven years before Their bones crumb led in the soil, from Canada to Georgia !- I Montgomery bad yielded up his life at ' Quebec, Wooster fell at Danbury, Wood hull was barbarously murdered whilst a prisoner at the battle on Long Island, Mer cer fell mortally wounded at Princeton; the brave and chivalric Laurens, after dis playing the most heroic courage in the trenches at Yorktown, died in a trifling skirmish in South Carolina; the bravo but eccentric Lee was no longer living, the Putnam, like a helpless child, was stretch ed on a bed of sickness. Indeed, the bat tle-field and time had thinned the ranks which entered with him into the conflict. IVashington entered the room—the hour of separation had come. As he raised his eye and glanced on the faces of those as sembled, a tear coursed down his cheek, and his voice was tremulous as ho saluted them. Now was he alone. Men, "albeit unused to the melting mood," stood around him, whose uplifted hands, to cover their brows, told that the tear, which they in vain attempted to conceal, bespoke the an guish they could not hide. After a moment's conversation, Wash ington called for a glass of wine. It was brought him. Turning to his officers, he thus addressed them: "With a heart full of love and gratitude, I now take my final leave of you. I most devoutly wish your latter days may bo as prosperous and happy as your former ones have been glorious and honorable." He then raised the glass to his lips, drank, and added, "I cannot come to each of you to take leave, but shall bo obliged to you if each will take me by the hand." General Knox, who stood nearest, burst into tears, and advanced, incapable of ut terance. Washington grasped him by the hand, and embraced him. The officers came up successively and took an affection ate leave. No words were spoken, but all was the "silent eloquence of tears." What were mere words at such a scene? Noth ing. It was the feeling of the heart— thrilling, though unspoken. When the last of the officers had embra ced him, Washington left the room, follow- ed by his comrades, and passed through the lines of the light infantry. His step was slow and measured, his head uncover ed, and the tears flowing thick and fast, as he looked from side to side at the veterans to whom he now bade adieu forever.— Shortly an event occurred more touching than all the rest. A gigantic soldier, who had stood by his side at Trenton, stepped forth from the ranks, and extended his hand. "Farewell, my beloved General, fare well !" Washington grasped his hand, in con vulsive emotion, in both of his. All dis cipline was now at an end. The officers could not restrain the men as they rushed forward to take Washington by the hand, and the sobs and tears of the soldiers told how deeply engraven upon their affections was the love of their commander. At length Washington reached the barge at Whitehall, and entered it. At the first stroke of the oars, he rose, and turning to the companions of his glory, by waving his hat bade them a silent adieu. Their an swer was only in tears; and officers and men, with glistening eyes, watched the re ceding boat till the form of their noble commander was lost in the distance. Contrast the farewell of Washington to his army at Whitehall, in 1783, and the adieu of Napoleon to his army at Fontain bleau, in 1814 ! The one had accomplish ed every wish of his heart. His noble ex ertions had achieved the independence of his country, and he longed to retire to the bosom of his home. His ambition was sat isfied. He fought for no crown or sceptre, but for equality and the mutual happiness of his fellow beings. The other great sol dier was the disciple of selfish ambition.— He raised the iron weapon of war to crush, only that he might rule. But still he was a great General, and circumstances way have in a measure directed his aims. En thusiasm points with fearful wonder to the name of Napoleon, whilst justice, benevo lence, freedom, and all the concomitants which constitute the true happiness of man, shed almost a divine halo around the name and character of WASHlNGTON.—Buck ingham's Traditions of New York, in the Sunday Times. Tile Contrast. I saw a vast multitude of the sick and dying, and fast hastening to death, and I heard a voice saying to each and all.— There is life for the asking, and there was but one or two of all that great company raised their voices to beg the boon. I saw a band of weary travellers, in a sandy desert, parched with thirst and faint beneath the rays of the burning sun; and I heard a voice saying to them. There is water for the sinking. “110, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters!" and directly in sight appeared a cool and spark ling fountain, gushing from a rock, which throw a shadow across the weary land, and but a few there were who made the effort to reach the grateful shade of the rock, or to slake their thirst in its waters. "I here is gold for digging," proclaimed another voice; and thousands of eager ques tioners cry, "Where—where 1" Far, far away, over the deep waters, across the dan gerous passes of the mountains; danger and disease must be met, privation and hunger must be braved—but what of all that 1— there is "gold for the digging," at the end. And how they throng, and press, and crowd, to reach that far off-land! "What shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and loose his own soul 'I" 02 — .4 A New-York house has recently transmitted an order to Paris for an invoice or dress goods, with a deep border on the side. These goods are intended for ladies' short dresses, and the width of the cloth will comprise the length of the skirts. We give the following description from a New- York paper:—.The skirt comes a little below the knee, and buttons in front—the waist is cut plain, and also buttons in front. The border extends round the skirt, and in front to the bottom of the waist—the latter being out to have the border form the letter V. The trousers are made loose, gathered into a band at the ands.' " ( 3 s/ Doing it Handsome. A few evenings since, says the Easton Post, the passenger train on the Railroad arrived at a small village and stopping at the depot, a loving couple got out and inquired the way to the minister's. On reaching the house, John made known his errand, which was no other than to have the rite of holy wedlock performed. The reverend gentleman was just leaving to perform a service of another kind, and sug gested that the parties should wait his re turn. But John was in a hurry, and the minister thinking he could make a short case of it, consented to tarry; but the bridegroom was not quite ready. His trunk was out on the platform, and said he, ad dressing the minister : "Spose you just help me in with it."— On getting it into the house, he added— " Just help me up stairs with it; Elizabeth wants to dress." This done. "And now/ said he to a young lady present, as he de scended, 'spose you just go up stairs and help Elizabeth dress.' Surely such a request could not be de nied. The lady was dressed, and her toil ets duly made; as she was about to descend she bethought herself that John's wedding "ring" was in her trunk, and she would thank the young lady if she would "take it into John's room, and call him to get ready." The ring was accordingly taken into an adjoining chamber, and the bridegroom showed "where hc , might make ready."— This occupied time. But at length, the parties descended to their stations, and the service was about to commence. At this instant John filed off to a distant part of the room where the young lady was sitting, and said to her— "Come now, 'sposo you just go and stand up side of Elizabeth, it will make her feel better." The lady acceded. The two were soon made 'one flesh,' and the clergyman left. It was expected, of oourse, that the happy couple would take the latter train and pro ceed on their way that night. But all was , now over. The parties seemed at home.— At length John spying a piano, said to the , young lady, still in the room : "Come now, 'spose you give us a tune on that thing there." . The lady complied; it was a sentimental song, and the bridegroom was in raptures. "Never heard such a right down good thing in all my life; and now 'spose you go right through it again." It was repeated; about this time the car whistle announced the approach of the train. They were informed; but John said he 'had no thought of going from such a confound ed good place that night.' They stayed; in the morning they took the early train, and just as they were leaving the generous and grateful bridegroom slipped a silver dollar into the hand of the clergyman, his eyes opening and glistening like the rising sun. "There," said he, "take that, I'm going up to , I've a brother there he's going to be married; I'll send him down here; for you do the thing so handsome." Look at T'other Side Jim. When a boy, as I was one day passing through the market with my neighbor Joe, I spied a beautiful orange lying on a basket of the same fruit. I inquired the price and was proceeding to buy it, when my brother exclaimed with a shrewdness which I never shall forget, "look at t' other side, Jim." I looked and to my utter astonishment it was entirely rotten. In passing through life, I have been fre quently benefited by this little admonition. When I hear the tongue of slander level ing its venom against some fault or foible of a neighbor, I think, "look at t'other side, Jim !" Be moderate—have charity, per haps the fault or foible you talk so much and so loudly of, is almost the only one in your neighbor s character; and perhaps you have as great or greater ones of your own. It may be this is your neighbor's weak side, and except this he is a good citizen, a kind neighbor, an affectionate father and husband, and a useful member of society.— Others may listen to the story of calumny —but remember they will fear and despise tlAe calumniator. Learn to overlook a fault in your friends—for perhaps you may wish themto pardon a fault in you. NUMBER 15. A Fashionable Call, all they Said.

A boy who early and freely smokes, or otherwise largely uses to bacco, never is known to make a man of much energy of character, and generally lacks physical and muscular as well as men= tal energy. To people older, who' are natu rally nervous, and particularly to the phleg. , matic, tobacco may be comparatively harm less. We would, particularly warn boys who want to be anybody in the world to shun tobacco as a deadly poison." PROPERTY.—Property left to a child may soon be lost; but the inheritance of virtue— a good name, and unblemished reputation— will abide for ever. If those who have toil ing for wealth to leave their ehildern, would take half the pains to secure for them vir tuous habits, how much more serviceable would they be. The largest property may be wrested from a child, but virtue will stand by him to the last. Tins is a dangerous period of the year for colds—people should be careful. Mrs. Partington says she has got a ro mantic affection in her shoulders, the new geranium in her head, and the embargo in the regions of her jogular vein; all from the opening of the window to throw a bottle at a couple of billigerent cats on the shed. 113 — Ou it being reported to a party of ladies that a Captain Silk had arrived in town, they exclaimed, with one exception, "what a name for a soldier!" " The fittest name in the world," rejoined a witty female; "for silk never can be worsted." CHALLENGING THE JURY. "Do you mean to challenge any of the jury?" was the query of a counsel on an Irish trial, to an angry client. "To be sure I do," was the reply, "I mean to challenge every man of the twelve if they give a verdict against me, and. I wonder if I might not include the judge in the message'!"
