The discovery of the use . of Sulphuric Etar to destroy the consciousness of pain during surgical operations, is, .undoubtedly, one of the most important and remarkable acquisitions of modern science. 4is im portant, because it disarms terror,;lind frees from anguish the ministrations of the sur geon, which -are always, the most dreaded just in proportion as they are Most necessa ry. And it is reinarkableomt so much from tiniclottng a new power in an old and &mil iar medical remedy, as from pointing out no application which is almost self-evident, I and yet was never before thought of, to any p.irpot , e, by any live man. Every body knows, and has atways known, that a_ man in the !tltipur of intoxication, or that re-'I suiting from opium or other narcotic drug, is insenflble, more or less, to bodily pain; and opium, given in moderate doses, has been always used upon occasions by Bur-. genus to abate the agony of the knife. But no one ever seems to hare thought of taking advantage of the full . eifect,—the stupor re sulting from overpowering doses of these narcotic substances,—as that condition of insensibility most favorable to the perform ance of painful operations. A passing no tion, which seemed the i4ea itself, and yet -was immediately lost—forgotten or discard ed—was once in the mind of Sir Humphrey Davy, when experimenting on the proper tiei of Exhilarating Gas: "As it appears capable," said he, of destroying physical pain, it may probably be used to advantage ;a physical operations in which no 'great el, fusion of blood takes place." Here seems • to be expressed all that we now know of the powers of the ethereal vapor, which are very similar to those of the nitrous oxide; and accordingly, some of the British periodicals (which have a rare character for claiming every new discovery fur some neglected British genius) hint that the honor belongs to Sir Humphrey; But the great British philosopher,published his remarks in 1800 ;. and from thr time to the present, a period of nearly ha f a century, we bear not a word more of a discovery, which, having been re: _rived, or re-made, in An:reties, has suddenly_ excited the )hole world with a fall sense of its brilliancy and value. The real merits ,of the discovery belong to the United Stites, as all- the saran, of Europe cheerfully .admit. And here, mar vellous to lie said, the honor is contested be tween three individuals—Doctors isiOkson and Morton, of Boston,. who claimed the discovery and took out a patent as ioint dis coverers in 1846; and Mr.' Horace Wells, of Connecticut', a dentist, whoclaims to have. tested and successfully employed in dental operations, both the ether and exhilarating gas, as early as 1844, and to 'have. immedi ately—without seeking any patent—com municated his discovery to the scientific men of Boston, and'to Doctors Jackson end ' Morton amongst others. We shall not pre sume to decide between the rival claimants. There seeing to be a growing disposition,l however, in the scientific world, to favor the ?Jaime of Mr. Wells ; and the Legislaturedf . Connecticut has honored him with a vote 4f, thanks, as being the real original &A:ureter. 1 ' But at the present.

Those who would acquireftill in formation, will find it ini the periodicals of the day, and especially the British , and French, medical and miscellaneous, which abound with articles on the.subject. The resultof full etherization is a.kind of intoxication : perhaps we should drop the qualification, and say, simply, intoxication itself. ".In plain language," says the North British Review, " as in plain fact—there is no disguising it—the patient is drunk. The tipsiness, however is of a, light and airy kind : very pure, very pleasant, and very passing, and, when gone; cleaving very little trace behind." •In the "state of emergence," or sobering, the appearance of intoxication are most striking,—inability to stand or walk,—loquacity, hunter, maudlin grief ,or affection, with sometime" the after-conse quences of sick-headache endthe "horrors." In the midst of the full operation, the usual appearances are those of a swoon or trance. In general, the patient remains quiet Ass motionle's, as if inanimate; the muscles of ten quivering slightly, hoirever, at each`. play -of the knife, u if by the mere physiological stimulus which their contractility receives ; and kitting of the brows, occasional or fixed, is extremely common, giving an expression, by frowning, rather of annoyance than pain. Sometimes there is a slight shrinking of the flesh front the knife, the patient seeming to make some little effort to move it away.— Sometimes the part is violently contorted, with, in fact, all the ordinary manifestations of pain ; although there isl no subsequent re membrance of it. The sensation of the pa tient, as remembered, are, for most part, soothing and agreeable ; although the rec ollection is sometimes of night-mare and dis agreeable dreams. Bat, I however disagree able, the remembrance does not seem to be in any way connected with the pangs of the Operation ; in regard to Which the etheriza tion, when really effectual, may be said to secure a coMplete and absolute exemption ftom suffering. In this state of etherization, the' surgeons Of Europe and America have already suc cessfully performed all kinds of operations, the most painful and the most horrid,—am potations and extractions, the excision of Mes -and erulsion of nailer-every operation ost harrowing to the feelings and dreadful to the imagination ; 'and the patient has suf fered no , horror of mind or pain of body. In this view, therefore, the discovery of the new remedy might be almost considered worthy to have been made by angels. In speaking of the dangers resulting, from the inhalation of ether, some injustice has undoubtedly been done in attributing disas ters, which were the results of the operation, to the effects of the vapor. But ether is, in its own nature, a poison, and capable, when taken in, excess, of destrOying life, just "like any other violent stimulant or powerful nar cotic. The long use or substitution of its vapor in the lungs in the place of atmos pheric air, is sufficient to cause death, in consequence of the mere privation of air; but besides this, it hat a more powerful ac tion on the brain and 'nervous system,, which cannot perhaps be continued for a long time without real danger. It is known in its operations to involve risk to 'young chil dren, and higly nervous hysterical females ; and it ill especially dangerous to persons in clined th apoplexy, and to those afflicted with pulmonary complaints and affections of the heart. "So far as we know," says the writer in the North British Review, " there is not one instance of fatal castuality which Can be ascribed directly to the ether's use." Nevertheless, it is believed thatsorne very seriousavils—and eren some deaths— have actually resulted from the use of ether, the ether being the sole undisputed cause.— Convulsions, swoons, and apoplectic attacks of the most perilous character have been known to ensue, when ether has been taken for amusement. Its use for this object should never be allowed : nor should it ever be em ployed for medical or surgical purposes, un less with the advice, and under the supervis ion of the most careful and accomplised pro fessional men. When its employment is thus regulated, the evils capable of arising from its administration will be reduced to the smallest number, perhaps entirely pre-. vented ; and we shall have in the Letheon a gift of science, before which—considering their benefits to the human family—the gun cotton, the magnetic-telegraph, the Daguer reotype, Leverrier's, planet, and the innu merable brilliant discoveries of the era, will shrink into comparative insignificance.

A 'feeble young mid kavechis home ,and the nursing cares of a data; mother or fond wife, and dimes hire away North among the Hills, to & seek the. will--wisp angel of other words to get his stemach washed out and liver put in order. After a night's balmy repose, or rather in the midst of a night's , slumbers, in which he dreams of fireside and home and the 'maternal coffee and toasts that awaits his wakening, the door of his chamber opens, and in walks a figure with Shaggy hair, and bare and braw ny 'arms, who shakes the 'lumberer and rouses him With the hollow spoken words, "Your bed is ready." Your bath is rat*, he means, Without the politeness of asking, " Are yea ready for your bed 1" •As inex orable as fate he stands, Whilp the victim rises and denudes himself till no covering , but hit skin shields his shrinking nerves from the chill air through the open window. - The tormentor then strips the bed and spreads first a blanket, and then over that a thick sheet just wet in water of 46 deg. Fa renheit. Upon this the shriveringshrinking patient, with his Whole surface in a state of goose-flesh-ishness, extends his *hole length, and feels himself instantly enveloped in its heart 'chilling folds. Then blanket after blanket is laid over and tucked in, till he takes the form and has somewhat the feel ings of an Egyptian mummy, just' leaci and 'cold, bound hand and foot, and wrapped up for the tomb. He is then left to his own re flections and the reactive powers of nature. He considers that if the building should take fire he would probably, in his helpless con dition, be roasted - alive, and makes up his mind he would not mind a roasting much provided it were in a warm fire. Soon, how ever, nature rallies her force, and the blood vessels are in excited action. First, the sur face of the body becobies warm, then the sheet,: then everything is heated to the steam ing point, and there ensues a most soothing, sweet and heart-softening sensation, in which he again falls asleep, and dreams of Paradise and abed of rose leaves. Ah whence is that spectre, that pulls off is Clothes Ah whence is that splash that now gamma his earl It is the same hard-hearted villian as be fore, who, without deigning a single word,. throwS off blanket after blanket, and corn- fortable after comfortable, till only one en.. velope is left, when he seizes him by the shoulders, lifts him upright in the bed, un covers his feet, pup on s pair of slippers: throws a blanket over the head and says " follow me." *di one eye open, as docile as a lamb led to sacrifice, feeling like a fool, he goes slip-shod down stairs, seats himself n a tub of water at 72, where a bucket full is pounced over him, and two tough hands rub him well—" But that is nothing—that ain't." Before him is the terrible plunge bath, 14 feet by 4or 4i deep. Its surface is,..so clear that it seems only a tank of air with a slight emerald tinge. Vain ,imagination. That liquid is as real as rock, and cold as the double extract of icebergs, and into that— wretched mortal—must you plunge. So here goes ; one plash, and he rises to the top, feeling •an icicle thrust through his heart. Out be scrambles and bnck — again to the half bath, which now feels like hot water, to be again rubbed. Then a dry rubbing with a sheet and he is clothed for a walk, and he struts forth to meet the sun, with nerves braced up to such a pitch that he cares not what he meets. Over bill and through dell he stumps it with vigor, till presently the reaction is com plete, and jie feels as if be had swapped him self away for another man.' If be has even the humblest knowledge 'of whistling, he puts it in practice, or speeds along medita ting, the first half way of the walk upon the beauties of nature, and the other half on the probable quantity of breakfast required to satisfy an app‘tite which has become more sharklike th&human.

After this temporary ( employ-, anent ceased, she fortunately presented -her self m a Merchant Tailor ,Of character who kindly. gave bar employutent and instruction, and after a short time was received into his family. Scan she became expert with her needle, which not only ; gave ber support, but enabled her to dress genteelly, having such al fund of good sense as to avoid all ix tra filOry, yeit always appetizing neat and in good taste. In 1842, she accidentally secured a bothe with a married lady, with two children, a son • and a daughter, aged eight and ten years, 'whose husband and father had deser ted and left them to such provisions as mine but a wife's and mother's resources could procure. Whilst in this deserted family, the heart-broken wife sickened and diedl--- Thermother, when dying, gave a heart-ren ding farewell to her two children ; and this noble stranger girl, weeping by her bed, assured the dying mother that she wouldbe a mother to her children. This assurance calmed the lest death agony of a fond moth er, who died. The young stranger-girl took the children, hired a room, diligently plied • her needle, paid the rent, continued her own neat and modest appearance, fed and dres- Jed the boy and - girl handiomely and appro priately, and them to a well selected school, in which she received no assistance, save one quarter to a select school taughtlby a Lady, who (much to her praise) declined mmuneration. Now, reader you ask-4—Whois this young stranger female? The writer will not tell you ; but to gratify the feelings this commu nication must excite in your bosom, will tell you a little of her history. Her parents,l in good circumstances relide in the Upper Province of Canada. She was wooed by a worthy young man whose affections were ful ly reciprocated, as actlCtidy and purely as woman loves. But the father, an English man, opposed , the ccinnection with all the determination of an Englisbm an. She was sent into the States to a farmer-uncle, to avoid further intercourse between the lovers. At this uncle's, contrary to-Ther habits, she was duly appointed a hilt maid. At this the nodle girl revolted •tind left, determined to depend upon her own resources. She ar • - rived in Schenectady, where she has remain ed till this week—living above charity, sole ly upon her own energetic labor, with the additional charge of two interesting I or phnne. This spring she wrote to her mother ap prising her of an intention to visit her home —the home of her childhood and child hood's mirth, and the home too of her maid en trials and Burrows. To her astonish ment, surprise and gratification, the first response to that letter was the presence of her father, who upon the receipt of it, 'left for Schenectady, that he,might the More safely conduct his long t asent daughter to her early home and. ber ; fond mother. But mark I—with a predetermined purpose and high 7 souled magnanimity, she says—" tith er, I will go; but these (presenting the or phans) are fay children H-they .go where I go?" The;father, apt to be outdone, repli ed—" Yes, conic home , my daugh ter, and take with yon yoar:adopted children ; there is a welcomei a &tibia welcome, Lind room for you and yours;' They left this day for, Canada, flocided with tears—tears for parting from the stran ger's friends—tears, ford happy reuniting of parent and child—tears for a parent's free, frank permission to a better home offered to a wandering daughter with two adopted, or phan children. O,! what a scene, and what a lesson to selfishness ! The writer should add one other tribute to this noble female. Her neatness and in dustry attracted attentioo; but true to ; her faith, every advance by Pew suitors, waste pulsed promptly and thoroughly. In truth she had a purpose,; a heart, a soul, and is entitled to esteem and respect everywhere. Schenectady, July 7;047. I t‘ Tat Nztvt.E.—The inetde is generally considered by farmers and gardeners as a useless and troubletorniliiieed ;but it needs little argument to prove that the most com mon gifts of Providencel are often the most useful to mankind. The Common stinging nettle is one of the ibest medicines which is produced in'the vegetable kingdom; and its medicinal qualities'aught to be more gener ally known And appreciated. In the form of a simple week infuiicm, taken in the quan tity of • pint a dair, it acts'as on alterative and deobstructant in impurities of the blood. A strong decoction taken in the same quan tity proves an admirable strengthener in general or partial relaxation. Applied as a &rmentaioi or poultice, it relieves swellings and abates inflammatioas,; and the express ed juice, taken in spoo4uls as the exigency' of the cause, may require, 'in internal blee dings, is the most powerful styptic known. We may add that its leaves, when boiled, are converted , into a tender, healthy, and nourishing aliment, grateful to the palate.— And yet there are few' plains whose appeal.- ance-is viewed , by the firmer with more 'die. gust than , the stinging 'num. -„; • .
