the afflicted a permanent and speedy cure in
Consumption. The first cause of tubercle.: is
from Impure blood, and the immediate facet pro
duced by their deposition in the lungs is to pre
vent the free admission of air into the air cells,
which causes a weakened vitality through the
entire system. Then surely it is more rational
to expect greater good from medicines entering
the cavities of the lungs than those administered
through the stomach ; the patient will always
find the lungs free and the breathing easy, after
Inhaling remedies. Thus, Inhalation is a local
remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally end

The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the sys

may be immediately detected in the blood. A

inhalation, is the tact that sickness is.always pro •

hard, grasping, niggardly employer who did
not Irate the Tribune, nor a generous, large

who did not like it. We ask mo higher praise,
no warmer attestation.
The circulation of the Tribune is at this
time as follows: Daily, 32,000 copies; Weekly,
176,500 copies; Senii•Weelelv, 16,000 copies;
Culiforniat and European, 6,060 copies; Total,
MOO copies. That of the semi weekly and

our Daily issues would now be some thousands
heavier and our advertising tier mare lucrative;
but of our patronage geuerally we have no rea
son, no wish to complain.
Of late, a concerted effort has been made to
diminish our rural circulation through the in

Deacon Brown considered himself a pil

of the pullic morals. nor was this idea of
his altogether a delusion. He was a stre
nuous advocate of church discipline, and
his everyday walk presented to the world
an example of the roost rigid piety. Tho',
periatirs, a trifle puritinic and bigoted, he
was a roan of ancoiripromising virtue. But

of the Elder, was, for some mason, loft at
lime. This lady was quite youthful, and
had by her gentle qualities, woa the es
teem of the entire Parish. It was during
the absence of her husband. that Deacon
Brown, on going to the Post Mike one mor
ning, received the following comtnunica
tion :
PODOEVILLE, July 15, 1845,
Mr. Brown—Dear Sir take liberty
to disclose _to you some tacts which have
1 given me as much pain as they will you r
self. I know beyond all question of a
doubt that a stranger very mysteriously
etude his appearance last night in the pri
i vote parlor of Mrs. Wisely. Ile was seen
there first about half post eleven o'clock ;
AO one seen him enter the house and he
has not been known to deport. I think
this new visitor was expec,ed, ani that
he is destined to share the affections of
Mrs. Wisely. The voice of the new coin.
er has been distilledy heard in her room,
and she has even been heard to address
him in the tenderest and most loving tones.
Such are the facts. You can act in the
rends. s as your sense of duty stay dic
tate. Nly opinion is, that should Elder
%Visely be informed of the stranger's ad
vent, it 'night hasten his return. Yours
truly. A FRIEND OF FIDELITY.
As the Deacon read this epistle, there
was a visible tremor in his hued. Ile pol
ished his eyeglass with a silk handker
chief, and perused it carefully a second
time. But Deacon Brown was not the
man to swerve from duty, thoitg't it led
him where he should not go. Putting the
letter in his hut, and buttoning his coat to
the chin, he hastened down to the hard
ware store, and whispering to a confiden
tial clerk, proceeded to she residence of
Mrs. Wisely. He struck his cone very
decidedly on the pave, greeted none with
his usual 'good morning," but seemed ab•
sorbed in the contemplation of a great pur
pose.
Arriving at the sceno of his triumph, he
stationed his clerk in front of the house
and giving the bell-knob a cautious pull,
was soon admitted by the servant girl.
The following dialogue then and there
took place:
'ls Mrs. Wisely in V
'Yes, sir ; she's in bed, sir.'
The Deacon examined his watch, and
muttered 'half past seven.' He then as

The refusal of John Hampden to pay
the tax imposed upon him by the tyranny
of the British Government was the means
of overthrowing the rotten despotism of
Charles I. and saving England from the

foundation of the Roman empire was a
cunning trick in an individual combat or

The magnifying power of the crystal frag

the liberties of Rome, and gave to the

A Beautiful Inoident.
A correspondent of the Cambridge
Chronicle ; in u letter written at Nantucket
gives this rare example of disinterested be
nevolence
Many years ago, a husband and father
started from his home to commence his
morning work in a rope walk upon our is
land. Breakfast time came, and, as was
her wont, his faithful wife left her home
to convey her husband's breakfast to him.
The snow had been falling for some time,
but she heeded it not, and started to cross
some open low in the outskirts of our town
The wind blew violently, and the blinding
snow disturbed her so that she lost her
path, and when found, some time after,
she was leaning against a tail-fence, smo
thered, frozen, dead. The father died al
so I think, ere long, and their two orphan
children were taken to our alias-house.
Years passed, and the children grew to
womanhood, and in turn were wives and
mothers The husband of one of them
was drowned a few years ago near our is
land, leaving several young children. An
aged ratan who had befriended his wife in
early years, then took her to his home,
and there she toiled hard to support her
children. In n0t,,,, way the old man's
property was used, until he had nothing
I It but his hunib.e out. Then the widow
toiled to support !din, till he saw that she
woo wasting away under her arduous la
bor, and nobly, generously, sent for a law
yer, and gave her his cottage which he
hod toiled hard to obtain, and in which he
hoped to speed his days, and went himself
to dwell in our almshouse. He shares a
pauper's home today, but his gray hairs
are a crown of glory to him- The widow
would have preferred to struggle on for
her benefactor, but he knew that his life's
sands were almost run, and it mattered lit
tle where he should be in the hour of death. j
One day this winter r lady gave the chil
dren of this poor widow some food for their
Kurd-workins mother, and un apple each j
for themselves. NVlien she next saw them '
she asked how they liked the apples, and
the reply was—"We did nut oat them our
selves, but carried them to our grandfather
at the almshouse."
The teacher of our high school recently
related the above to a large audience at a
Sabbath school festival in uur town, while
tears flowed freely down the cheek of man
hood, at the pathetic account, of which few
had any knowledge. Every heart recog
nized the real nobility of the aged pauper,
and deemed such an act of self-sacrifice at
once generous and disinterested.
How TO MAKE BLACK CURRANT WINE,
—Pick and squeeze the currants when
fully ripe. To one gallon of juice add six
quarts of water, and to each gallon of this
mixture add three and a half pounds of
brown sugar. Mix well together and
strain. Put into a cask and let it be ven•
tilated till it shall have passed the active or
vinous fermentation, when it may bo well
corked. As it will improve by age, it, may
be well to let it stand undisturbed for
years unless wanted for medical puroses.
The sante precaution should be taken in
regard to its !request use as to other fer
ment and intoxicating drinks lest a morbid
appetite be created therefor.

California Politica
Edward Stanley, ' formerly a Whig
member of Congress from North Caroli•
na, has been nominated for Governor by
the Republicans of California. He is a
gentleman of much ability and great pri
vate worth, and a few years ago was a
prominent politician iii his native State.—
John B. Weller, late U. S. Senator, has
been nominated for the same office by the
Democrats. The latest accounts state
that the contest will be a close one. Mr.
Stanley has already opened the campaign
in a speech delivered nt San Francisco,
before an immense audience. He fully
defined his position, and tools strong
ground in favor of the principles of the
Republican party.
