The Songs of old. How deep a spell
Lies in the old, fainiliar words
Once sang by tubes we lolled so well,
In other days, in happier years;
Visions of hope long passed away,
Come o'er the heart so lone and cold,
And memory asks oh, where are they
Who sweetly sung the songs of old?
*hero ate they 1 some in silence steep
Beneath the mournful yew tree's gloom;
Others within the boundless deep
Have early found an ocean tomb;
Dim are the eyes that gently shone,
The once warm heart lies still and cold,
And hushed fur aye, forever gone,
The' voice that sung the songs of old•
Where are they I On some foreign strand
For many a weary day they roam;
Cheerless they trend the stranger's •lantl,, '
From friends afar, afar from home,
Do they not long to join once more
The joyous dance, the social throng,
And mingle, ris in days of yore.
Their voice; in the olden song,
Fondly the heart still loves to linger
Amid the ruins of the past,
Tracing', with fancy's fairy finger,
Visions too beautiful to last;
Bringing to memory's eye again
The long lost friend, the cherished one,
Waking the past with some sad strain,
Dome well-remembered olden song.' ,
OBLIVION.
'Tis well that hearts at last forget,
'Tis well that broken ties
In after years can only wet
With thoughtful tears our eyes.
'Tis well the sun that rose in tears,
In glorious light will set;
That bitter grief will pass with years—
Those hearts at last forget. .
Yes, we forget—the weary breast,
The burning, aching brain;
Wiil luso, in calm and peaceful rest,
The anguish and the pain;"
And earthly memories, o'er whose biers
We wept with sad regret,
Grow dim before the lapse of years—
For we, at last, forget.
Not all ! not all! a careless word,
A well remembered tone,
A look, a ocene, a thought hath stirred •
The anguish past and gone;
And long-hush'd hearts have throhb'd again,
And long dried tears are wet;
Ah! memory brings the old, old pain!
We cannot QUITS forget !

'SHE CHOLERA
BY DR. BABLIN, CONSTANTINOPLE.
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

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

trifles. There is often -a.aliglit nausea,r or

It will have at first no single Characteristic
of Asiatic Cholera. But do not be deceived.
It is the cholera nevertheless. Wait a little,

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

paper of Camomile flowers, and a paper of

.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.

est state of excitement,-',in "eonseltienceofit

On Monday night last, after myself •and

der at the top of theievinceri, all conspiring
to create a scene worthy of a pademonititn:
Terribly startled, my' wife and I sprang from
our bed. The room was illuminated a
brightly as by a flood of , sunlight, though
the light was a bluish cast.
,Our 'first and
most reasonable concligion *est that the ne•
gro cabins were being consumed by , fire.—
We rushed ' to the ; windows • andbeheld a
sight thatlairly.curdled the blood in our
veins with.hotror, and filled our hearts with
the utmost terror. My , daughtersi shrieking
loudly, came flying into the room, hysterical
with fear. This is what we beheld. •.
Standing to the right of , the upper cabin,'
near the fenee that separates the negroes'
gardeufrom the house yard, was, a creature
of gigantic stature, and the most horrifying
appearance. 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. Its general color,
save its artns ) was of a dingy brown. The
air was powerfully impegnated with the Smell
of burning sulpher The poor negroes Were
evidently laboring under the extremeet ter
rorouid two of them, an old woman and lad,

fears, and have not recovered their reason
up to this writing. Ido not know bow long
this monster or devil was visible after•we
reached the witriows. When it vanished it
was enveloped in a spiral column of flame
that reached nearly to the top of the locust
trees, and which hid its horrid form from
view. The extinction of the flame was in.
stantaneous, and with its disappearance we
were relieved of the presence of this remark
able visitor,
If ours bad been the only family, visited
by this unearthly, creature, I should have
kept silent, and, perhaps, tortured my mind
into• the belief that it was a hallucination.—
But precisely the same apparition appeared
at my neighbor's Mrs William Dole, appear
ing there in precisely the' same• shape in
which it presented itself to us, save the head,
which appeared to those that witnessed it at
Mrs. D.' to resemble that of a horse. At
Mr. Adam Fuqua's, another neighbor, its
head was that of a vulture. On Tuesday
night it appeared at the house of Mr Jesse
Bond's, there wearing the head of an ele
phant. AB these places it made the same
appearance as at my house—excepting only
the very singular changing of the head—
and disappeared in the same manner. These
parties are all reliable ladies and gentlemen,
and at my - request have made oath to what
they all witnessed.
What it is, what its object, what its mis
sion, is something th'it passes my poor com-•

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

wrote thus to a friend : "As to myself,

and often passing the night without sleeping.

is to labor so hard during the day that when
night comes I May be enabled to sleep sound
Take care of your health and take plenty
of sleep. Let no one work in pain or weari

down until he is fully rested, when with
renovated strength the work will be better

hours' sleep out of, each.twenty-four is time

cheat ourselves, but we cannot cheat nature.
