The cholera which has. just left us after committing fearful ravages , is making its way into Europe, and will probably cross the Atlantic before another . aumwer has pass ed. 'laving been providentially compelled to ' have a good degree of practical acquaintance with it, and to see it in all its forms and sta ges during each of its invasions of Constanti nople, I wish to make to my friends in Maine &tine suggestions which way relieve anxiety, or be of practical use. • Ist. On •the approach of the cholera, ev ery family should be prepared to treat it without waiting for a physician It does its work so expeditiously, that while you are waiting for the doctor it is done. 2d. If you prepare for it, it will notcome - I think there is' no disease which may be a voided with so much certainty as the cholera. But providential circumstances, or though:- less indiscretions of some member of a house hold may invite the attack, and the Challenge will never be refused, It will probably be -made in the night., your physician has been called in another direction, and you must treat the cause yourself or it will be fatal. 3d. GauAes of attack. I have personally investigated at lease a hundred cases, and not less than three-fourths could be traced di• rectly to improper diet, or to intoxicating .drinks, or to both united Of the remain der; suppressed perspiration Would compiise• .a large number. A. strong, healthy, temper ate, laboring, man had a severe attack of chol era, and after the danger had passed I was .curious to ascertain the cause. Ile had been cautious and prudent in his diet. used nothing intoxicating. Ills residence was in a good locality. But after some hours .of hard labor and very profuse perspiration, he had lain down to take his customary nap right against an oped window, through which a very !et'? cshing breeze teas bloiciv. -An other cause is dritkinglargrly of cold water when ,bot And thirsty, Great.latigue, great enxie.ty, fright, fear, all figure among inci ting causes. one , eau avoid ail these-be is xis safe from the cholera'as from being gwept away by a cornet. ' ' 4th Simptoms of an attack. - While chol era isyrevalent in a' place, almost every one experiences more or less disturbance 'of. di gestion, It is docibtleas in part imaginary. Every one notice's the 'slightest variation of teeling,..an&this_gives atk importance to Mere trifles. There is often -a.aliglit nausea,r or transient - pains , - or rutn'ilitig sounds when , no attack follows. No one is entirely free from °Nina:A in the Christian Mirror, Novernlier 14th and 21st, 1801, WAYNESEORO',. PRANKLIN COUNTT,,PEVNS _these. But he n diarrhoea eornmenees,, though painless hod slight; t-is-in-reality-the skirmishing party ofithe advancing column. It will have at first no single Characteristic of Asiatic Cholera. But do not be deceived. It is the cholera nevertheless. Wait a little, give it time to get hold, say to yourself, "I feel perfectly well, it will soon pass off," and. iu a short time you will repent of your folly.' in vain. I have seen many a one commit su icide in this way. Sometimes, though rarely, the attack com mences with vomiting. But in whatever way it commences, it is sure to hold on. In a very few' bouts the patient may sink into the collapse, .The hands and feet become cold and purplish, the countenance at first ner vous and anxious, becomes gloomy and apa thetic, although a mental restlessness and raging thifst torment the sufferer while the powers of life are ebbing. The intellect re• mains clear, but all the social and moral feel ings seem wonderfully to collapse with the physical powers. The patient knows he is to die; but cares not a snap about it. • In sonic cases, though rarely, the diar rhara continues for a day or two, and the fool ish person keeps about, then suddenly sinks, sends for a physician, and before he arrives "dies as the fool dieth." COURSE OF TREATMENT. Ist. For stopping "the iiicipient diarrhoea: The mixture which I used in 1848 with treat success, and again in 1855,.has during phis epidprnic been used by thousands, and although the attacks have been more sudden and violent, it has fully established its repu tation for efficiency and perfect safety. It consists of equal parts by measure of 1 Lau danum and Spirits of Camphor. 2 Tincture of lthubarb.t In an adult, 30 drops on a lump of sugar, will often check the diarrhoea. But to prevent its return, care should always be taken to continue the medicine every 4 hours in . diminishing doses 25, 20. 15, 10, 9, when careful diet is all that will be need ed. In case the first does not stay the diar rhoea, continue to give in increasing doses 35, 49, 45, 60, at every movement of the bowels. Large doses will produce no injury while the diarrhoea lasts. When this is check ed. then is the time for caution. I have nev er seen a case of diarrhoea taken in" season which was not thus controlled, but some ca ses of advanced diarrhoea, and especially of relapse pail no heed to it whatever. As soon as this becomes apparent, I have always re sorted to this course : Prepare a teacup of st:ireh belled as for use in starching linen, and stir into it a full teaspoonful of lauda num for an injection. Give one third at each movement of the bowels. In one des perate case abandoned as hopeless by a phy sician, I could not stop the diarrhoea until the 7th injection, which contained nearly a teaspoonful of laudanum. The patient re• covered and is in perfect health. At the same time I use prepared chalk in 10 grain doses with a few drops of laudanum and cam phor to each, But whatever course is pur sued it must be followed up, and the diar rhoea controlled or the patient is lost. • 2d. Mustard Poultices. These should be applied to the pit of the stomach,: and kept on till the burface is welt reddened. 3d, The patient, however well be may feel, should rigidly observe perfect rest. To lie quietly on the back is one halt the battle. in that position the enemy fires over you, but the moment you rise you are hit. When the attack comes in the form of di arrhoea these directions will enable every one ,to meet it Successfully 4th But when the attack is more violent, and there is vomiting, or vomiting and purg,- ing, perhaps also cramps and colic pains, the following mixture is far more effective and should always be resorted to. The mission aries, Messrs Long, Trowbridge and Wash burn have used it in very many cases and with wonderful success. It consists of equal parts of Laudanum, Tincture of Cau ! tieutu, Tincture of Ginger and Tincture of Varda mon ~eeds, Dose, 30 to 40 drops, or half a teaspoonful in a little water, and to be in creased aceorditn , '' to -the urgency of the ease In case the first dose should be ejected, the. _second, which should stand ready, should be given immediately after the sptogn of vcmit ing has ceased. During this late cholera siege no one of us failed of controhng the vomiting and also the purgin'g, by, at most, the third dose. We have, however, invari ably made use of large mustard poultices of strong pure mustard, applied to the stom ach, bowels, calves of the legs, feet, etc , as, the case seemed to require. Collapse. This is simply - a more advanced stage of the disease. It indicates the grad ual failing of all the powers of life, It is difficult to say when a case has become hope less. At a certain point the body of the patient begins to emit a peculiar odor which I call the death odor, for when that has be come decided and unmistakable, I have nev er known the patient to recover. I have re peatedly worked upon such cases for hours with no permanent result. But the blue color, the cold extremities, the deeply sunken eye, the vanishing pulse are no signs that the case is hopeless. Scores of such cases in the • recent epidemic have, recovered, lu' addition to the second mixture, brandy, (a table spoonful every half hour), .bottles of hot water surrounding the patient, especially the extremities; iinapistas • and - friction --will often in an hour or two work wonders. titirvt. In these and in all advanced eases thirst cteates intense suffering. The suffer 'et' craves water,:and-as - sure as he gratifies the.cravirig the wrirst symptoms return, and he falls a -main) to the transient gratificar Lion, Thiaouly safe'way is to have a faith ful ,friond or attendant, who will not leed his entreaties. The suffering may be, However, safely alleviated and rendered endurable.— Frequent gurgling the :throat and washing out the mouth, will bring somO .relief.

Camomile is very valuable in restoring the tone of the stomach. The Typhoid Feder. A typhoidrstate fora few days will follow all severe ease's. There is nothing a:arming .in this. It has very rarely proved . fatal. Patience and careful nursing will bring it-all right. The greatest danger is from• drinking too freely. When the patient seined to be sinking, a little brandy and water or arrowroot. and brandy have revived him, • In this terrible visita tion of the cholera, we have considered our selves perfectly armed and equipped, with a hand bug containing mixture No. 1, mixture No. 2, (for vomiting, etc ,) a few pounds of powdered mustard, a bottle of brandy and a paper of Camomile flowers, and a paper of Gum Arabic.' .1 lay no claim _ to originality in recomtnen ding this course of treatment, and have a dopted it from suggestions of able aed expe rienced physicians. Having been the only Doctor of many poor families living near ins, I have tried various remedies recommended by physicians, but I have found none to be at all compared with the above. During the, recent cholera I cannot find that any treat ment has been so successful as this. Contagion. The idea of contagion should be abandoned. All the missionaries who have been most with the most malignant ea ses day after day, are fully convinced of the non conta g iousness of the cholera. The incipi ent attacks which all have suffered from are to be attributed to great fatigue, making the constitution liable to an attack. In another letter I will give you a descrip• ion of the cholera as we saw it, and of some ndividual cases. The actual question now before Congress and the country is, whether the government of the eleven States lately in rebellion is to be given to the enemies of-the nation, whose hands are just unclutehed from her throat, or to her friends. If the people think that rebels, who do not pretend to be penitent e ven if they confess themselves conquered, should be invested with absolute power over all the inhabitants of their States or sojourn ers within them, including the negroes whom the people themselves have just set free, and that, besides this, they should be allowed their full weight in the government of the nation which, a little year ago, they were do ing their utmost to destroy, the people •can BO decide, and from their decision there is no appeal, excepting to themselves in a soberer hour. But let them have this issue always kept unmistakably before them. Let „them not think that they are deciding against Ex. ecutive unsurpation, or against taxation with out representation, or against Federal inter ference with the reserved rights of the States, or in favor of the effectual restoration of all the States to the Union. The question is, Shall one half the country be absolutely goy erned, and the whole be in danger of being controlled, by its enemies rather than its friends ? If this point can be kept clearly before the public mind, separate from all en tangling alliances, we have no fear- as to the result, And it is important that this should be done quite as much for .the interests of the rebels as of the loyal States. There COD be no substantial 'peace until this question is put at rest, and peace is more essential to them than to us. A Word to Boys A writer in an educational journal, the ti tle of which we have unfortunately lost, has the following pertinent and truthful remarks: Boys, listen ! The fist thing you want to learn, to develip what force there is in you. is self•reliat3ce; that is, as icgArds your rela tions to man. If I were 'going to give a for mula for developing the most Ahcible set of men, I should say. Turn them upon their own resources, with their minds well stored with moral and religious truth when are boys, and teach them to depend on F elf and not on father. It a boy is thrown upon his own resources at fifteen with the world all before him where to choose, and he fights the battle of life single-handed up to nun- hood, and dont develop more than au aver• ago share of executive ability, there is no stuff in him worth talking about He may learn +to plough, and sow, and reap, and mow, but this can all be done with machine's and horses, and man wants to be something better than either of these.. Wipe Out of your voctablary every such word as fait, give up wishing for improbable results, put your hand to the plough, or whatever tool you take to, and drive ou and never .look back.— Don't even sight your person to see if it is straight; 'don't be cousistent; but be simply true' If you go out 'to see a reed shaken by the wind,' it is pretty likely you will nev er see any thing of more consequence.

It was nearly as. high as the comb of the cabin, and had umonstreus head not dissimilar in shape . to that of an ape; two short.very white horns appeared above each eye; its arms were long and covered with shaggy hair of an ashen hue, and terminated with huge paivs, not unlike those of a cat, *armed with ' long and hooked claws. Its breast was "as large as that of a large sized ox. Its legs resembled the front legs of a horse; only the boors were cloven. It had a long tail, armed with a dart shaped .horn which it was continually switching about.— Its eyes glowed like two living coals of fire, while its nostrils and mouth were emitting sheets of bluish colored - flames, With a hiss ing sound like the his Sing of a serpent, only a thousand fold louder.

I=l DISTNTEUESTED BENEVOLENCE.-II o beautiful are those little offices of love, per, formed without any ostentation; but promp ted by the outpouring of a true and gener ous soul. How soothing to the weary and careworn hearts, are those sweet and quiet acts cf kindness, which spring up spontane ously like the flowers of : Spring by the way side. How little do we know the power for good of a kindly spoken word, for many a heart, that has ceased to pulsate with human affection, and learned the sad lesson of dis trust, has become warmed gradually. by the genial and sunny benevolence of another, was unconscious of the influeoce of the un pretending disinterested kindness bestowed He who speaks kindly, and takes an erring broiler by the hand; exerts more-power-for good, and does more for reformation than. all the power, of the press and oratory. combin ed. llestE.—After all, downright, plain uom ioit; is what 'we are all after.'

They apply to the parents of the girl, and ii the parties thus far are agrOed, the next proceeding is to appoint two,kmaie negotiators, whose duty it .is to broaehrhe subject to the young lady,, This is a matter of great tact and delicacy:' The lady anibisz' sadors do not shuck the young lady te Sitom • they are sent by any sudden or abrupt avow al of the strut subject of their mission. In , stead of doing this, they'launeh ont in piai; sea of the gentleman who seeks her hand. They speak of the splendor.of his, house., the sumptuousness of his furniture, of hie cour age and skill in catching seals,nad:.Uthef fie comnlish meats. The lady, pretending to tie' affronted even at tlise remote hints, rues away, tearing the ringlets of her hair as she retires, while, the ambassadresses, having got the consent of her parents, pursue her, drag her from Ler concealment, take her by force to the house of her destined husband, and there leave her. Compelled to remain there, she sits for days with dishevelled hair, silent and dejected, refusing every' . kind of •sustenance, till at last, if kind entreaties do.not prevail, she is compelled by force, and even by blows, to submit to the detested union. In seine ca ses, Greenland women faint at the prcipcii34, of marriage—in others, they fry to the moun tains, and only return when compelled to do so by hunger and cold. If one cuts off her hair, it is a sign that she is determined to re sist to the death. All this appears so unnatural to US, that we seek for the reason of suelt an apparent violation of the first principles of human na ture: The Greenland mire is 'the' sLive of her husband, doomed to a Head toil, drudge, ry and privation; and if he die, she and her children have no resource against starvation. The married state is a miserable condition, while widowhood is a still more appalling fate, Wealth and - Happiness The , insufficiency of Inere wealth alone to confer happiness is strikingly illustrated iu the life of Nathan Myers Rothschild, the Jew, who died in London some forty years ago, one of the most devoted worshippers that ever laid a withered soul on the altar of Mammon. For years he wielded the purse of the world, opening and closing it to kings and emperors as he listed; and upon certain occasions, was supposed to have more influ ence in *root Britain than the proudest and wealthiest of its tiobles—perhaps more influ ence than both !louses of Parliament taken together.' He once:purchased bills• of the. Government, in a single.day, to the, amount of $20,000,000, and with the profits of a sin gle loan, purchaspd'an estate at the cost of 8750,000. Yet with all his colossal wealth ho was.a miserable' train; and with sorrowful earnestness, once exclaimed to a gentleman who was congratulating him on the gorgeous magnificence of his palatial mansion, and thence inferring that he, was happy : 'Hap- PY I me 4tiPPY The late Stephen Girard, when surroun ded by immense wealth, and supposed to be taking supreme delight in its acentnulation, I wrote thus to a friend : "As to myself, live like a galley slave, constantly, occupied, and often passing the night without sleeping.
