Poor Tom.

nobody:. 4near tn.' inf6rm me. - "Tom," I
kept saying; "it can't be our Torn. No,
no." The next morning the first thing was
to ask for Tom.
Tom, bur poor' errand boy ? Hav'nt
you heard ? The poor • fellow is in jail, and
likely to go to prison. His trial comes on
in the September term;" and the circum
stances were 'rehearsed more at length than
I fd , nrid`them in the Paper. "Poor Tom," I
could only say—it was a clear, sunshiny
.day—"-Poor.Tom caged up on such a bright
day as this—be was free as a bird, and yet
• 1 never thought him a vicious boy."
determined to see him, and took the
earliest opportunity of vioiting . him in his•
new quarters, and I am 'sorry to say it was
the 'first visit I ever 'paid him. Pressing
through )the narrow; - damp, foul smelling
gangway that led, to his cell on the back
side of the building, I felt sad enough.

turnkey. Perlaps I did n't, and so I did
not stop to Argue the point. When we
reached the cell, whose door. grated on its
hinges ti - the Man unlocked, opened it, and
let me in; Tom was lying on his low cot,.
his head wrapped in the quilt.. He. Started
up, and, rubbing :his eyes, looked pleased
when he saw who had come - ; then, as if
suddenly recollecting where be was, his
head dropped on his bosom, and he be.,
gan to twirl the bedclothes with , his finger's.
"'Why, Tam, my' boy, how are you ?", I
asked oheerfully. " So so," he answered,
wibriut looking,up." "'`did not expect, to
find you here, Torn. • How did 'it happen ?

"Didn't you know 't was wicked to steal,
Tom ?" said I, sitting down by his side:
"Yes,.sir;i but did.n't think much about

The next day I went to see Tom again.
I took an orange and a picture-book to him.
" The boYsaysleisi sick," Said the turnkey,
"and I really believe he is." "Well, Tom,"
.1 asked, sitting down by his side, " how are
you ?" "So so," he answered with a faint
smile. I . put the orange in his , hand, and
laid the little book on the ooverlid. Oh,
how I wanted to, talk to Tom about his soul;
but I did not know where or how to begin.
Indeed it was awkward to begin now a
friendly care for him, neglected all too long;
for aught I knew, neglected till too .late.
And it was a bitter thought to me. While
Tom was sucking his orange; I slipped out
and borrowed a Bible of the jail keeper.
" Don't you want me read to you, Tom ?"
What'e it about?" he asked. ";You lie
teVand see." I . tinned to the giving of
the law on Monet ,Sinsi, and- read .the ac
*nat. " Big thunderstorm, was n't it ?"
said Tom, After I, got through. I
talked about the comulandmentsi, but he '
listened =with very little interest. " Tom,
rfiriiV feed abiitit ',Tains Christ; and Viidas
whe'betrayed big Mailer ?
and yen
~know what end he came to?"
"Vhat?" . hi asked. bindielf."
" "rifled hisself ? Perhaps be had 'nt 'any
hodY to care for Ma," " Yes, he had ;
Jesus Christ cared for him."
Finding myself making small headway
with the poor lad, I comforted myself with
the hope of doing bitter next time. Tom
grew .sicker. The jail keeper moved him
to.his own home, and I .. - ,rdered every, thing
to be done for his coin fort. But it was his poor
soul which weighed most heavily upon, me.
One day when we read to him the story of
the cross, of Jesus Christ loving him,and
dying for his sins, teararan down , his cheeks.
Tom's ear was gained, his limit was
touched, aud he listened to the 'prayer put
up for him with serious and heartfelt ,atten
tion. All exhortation and -warning, and in
struction short of this,- had failed obpro
clueing any strong impression upon the poor
boy's conscience ; this, the simple story of
a dying Saviour, moved and melted him as
I bad never seen him before. Then I felt
hopes for Tom. "He will be a good man
yet," I said to myself.
The next day: his mind was wandering.
I hasten to the sad end,. , A few more
days and be was no more, Viand. I followed
him to the grave his chief mourner ..
There is a large class of such boys as
Tom to be kindly cared for. There are
multitudes of boys, and girls outside the
church, outsid e the Sabbath, outside all re
ligioue and moral instruction, who may,Tell

Singing to her Babe.
I passed a dwelling in Duke• Street. The
front ,door was open,. and close _by the, step
sat a young wife, singing to her babe. There
was a low, sweet melody in her voice ; true,
the words were very simple, but all the fits.
eination of song was there. The little babe,
not yet,able to make the• adventurous circuit
of the room, lay quietly upon her lap ; its
little lands were folded across its breast, and
its soft, beautiful, eyes seemed to dilate with
joy and wonderment. as the musical sounds
fell upon his. ears.

Planting and Cultivation of Apples.
The distance at which the trees should be
planted: in an orchard, depends upon the
mode in which-they are to be treated. When
it is desired finally to cover and devote the
whole ground to the trees, ,thirty feet apart
is the proper.interval;.but,where the farmer
wishes to keep the land between the trees
in grain and grass, _fifty feet is not too great'
a,distancein'strong soils. Forty feet apart,
however, is tbe usual distance at which the
trees are plan tedii. i . orcharda..
Before_transplinting, the ground,, should
be well prepared for the trees, and vigorous,
healthy young trees shoUld be selected, from
the nurseries.' As there is a great difference
in the-natural growth, shape, and size of Ihe

kinds should be planted in the rows together,

Weeded 11 Caves,
Dr. D. L Talbot, in commencing a series
of articles for the Fort Wayne. Times, in
regard to the Wyandot Cave, makes the fol
lowing comparison -between. the Wyandot
and Mammoth eaves.
,
Wyandot Caye,
one of the ; most .extensive
and remarkable in 'the world is situated in
Crawford County, la., about twenty five
miles below New Albany,on Blue River.
I have called it a remarkable cave. The
Mammoth 'Cave, of Keptucky, has hitherto
•been designated as the greatest known cave
in the world. It may.startle your scientific
readers to hear me assert the fact, that there
is one stalagmite alone in Wyandet Cave
more massive than all the stalagmites and
stalactites in ,Mammoth Cave put together.
This cave I have surveyed and mapped a
distance `of'twenty,, mile's length,',:and
there are numerous avenues. I have never
penetrated . to their' end, altheugh I have
_visited :the. cave for,scientifie and otherlur
poses, over a ; dozen different times,spending
on. one visit fourdays and nights within its
darkaome halls. •
The Mammoth Cave'is distinguished more
'for' its vastness than for its beauty;., the
Wyandot,for its great 'eritent, its mammoth
hall„ its lofty ceilings, reaehing , frequently to
the height of two 'hundred and , 'sixty seven
feet, and especially 'for' 'its niimerous and
beautiful natural finintains, which almost
continually meet the eye in every direction.
A portion.of this cave has been known and
.visited for over forty years.' This portion is
about three aniles,in length, and is termed
the old' cave. ln 1850, a new door from
within the old cave' , Was discovered,,which
extended the eaves-united to 'bout • twelve
eitent. . In 1853, a etill'newer dis
covery 'of ingress was accidentally. made,
Which has added eight or ten miles thereto,
and disclosed a plan of formation more ex
tensive and: more beautiful than heretofore
known. This pave contains every kind, of
formation peculiar to the Mammoth and'
other eaves, &sides some very peculiar and
unique formations found only in Nilyandot
Cave.

Said Daniel Webster: "I once defended
a man charged 'with the awful crime of mur

him what could induce him to• stain his

Turning his blood.shot eyes full upon me,
he replied, in a voice of despair," Mr.

Could we go back to the early years of all
hardened criminals, I believe, firmly be
lieve, that their first departure from the path
of morality, was when they abandoned the
Sabbath &heal, and their subsequent, crimes
might thus, be traced back to the neglect of
youthful religious instruction.

"In depth, and, acutenese he is a rival to Aristotle, in
immensity of learning &Match , for, Leibnitz, and in com
preheneiveness ol thought an equal. to Bacon. The whole
Circle of the ancient classics—poete, philosophers, and one
tore-the en ire compass of Christian' literature—Eastern
and Western, from Justin to Luther, including the angry
controversies and the endless disputes of the fathers and
schcolmen—the great works of the Reformation; and the
Prolific productions of England, Scotland, Germany, and
France, from the period .of the 'Reformers until now, all
seem to be as familiar to his mind mithe alphabet to other
men; and what to more remarkable,:thisPondCrons Mass of
learning is no' ineumbrance. He has not only swallowed
down, but digested libraries iand while he carries, it le
hardly extravagant to say, all the thoughts of all other
men in his head, he has airlinciense multitude besides—
precious as any he has collected—which none ever had bte
fore him,' and for which the world witralways hold him in
grateful remembrance. He is an honor to Scotland, and
an ornament to letters."

MEDICAL.
DR. R. A. WILSON'S PILLS.
Having retired from the practice of medicine, I may be
permitted to say that it has failen to the lot of but fee
persons to have enjoyed so liberal or large a stews at
obstetrical practice as my own bas been for the last thirty
or forty . years.
The experience of that long period of active life, and the
fact of my'having been twice, since 1830, es' ociated with
Dr. R. A. Wilson, In the practice of medicine, (in both
period of five years,) enables ice to judge fully of the merits
of his pills.
fio convenient, en efficient, and yet so safe, did I eaten
these pills, that for the last five years in practice, for tho
cure of chronic diseases of whatever name. and those of
femalea in particular, I have used more of them than si
other medicines. Like every other medicine, these mesf
fail in some instances, but in my hands there has been leis
disappointment and more satisfaction in the administratio n
of this one remedy than of all others—its good effect/
sometimes quite astonishing me.
If my patient required a safe aperient medicine, ether
before or after parturition, the Wilson's Pills were just the
thing I wanted:
If a dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined
with costiveness, or inactivity of the liver, constituted the
disease of my patient, the pills were ort the thing
wanted.
If I treated a case requiring an emmenemue, the WO.,
son's Pills were just the thing I wanted.
If palpltatinn, headache, flushed countenance, or other
difficulties indicating a disturbance of the circulatory awl
secretory systems, annoyed my patient at the torn of Ste,
the Wilson's Pills were joist the thing I wanted,
Thus, without respect to the name *disease might happen
to wear'at the time I have had it under treatment, partico
ler indications or symptoms arising were al oars most
promptly and most happily met by the Wilson's Pills.
That so great a number of dteeyees, and sometime&
-apparently opposite ones, in which I have used those pills,
should be cured more readily by them - than by any other
remedy, may at first seem strange and contradictory, but
why it is so, is as clear to my mind as that a greet many
persons should become thirsty from as many different
causes, and yet all require that common and greatest of all
blessings, water, to quench their thirst.
In conclusion, it is due the reputation of medicine and
the public to say, decidedly and unconlitionaily, that the
Wilson's Pills are the only combination I have ever suet
with barfly long course of practice that really possess any
thing curative or specific for sick-headache.

Hepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DArist in the right side, under the edge of
J the ribs, increase on pressure sometimes
the pain is in the left side; the patient is
rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder blade,
and it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for a
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is
affected with loss of appetke and sickness,
the - bowels in general are costive, sometimes
alternative with lax; the head is troubled
with'pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is gene
rally a considerable loss of memory, accom
panied 'with a painful sensation of having
left - undone something which ought to have
been done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient complains
of weariness and debility; he is easily startled,
his feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the skin;
his spirits are low; and although he is satis
fied that exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet, he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough, to try it. In fact, he distrusts every
remedy. Several of the above symptoms
attend the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet examination
of the body, after death, has shown the
.t.nrxx to have been extensively deranged.

AGUE, AND FEVER, when taken With Qu inine,
