VEGETABLE INDIAN SPECIFIC.

For the cure of colds, coughs, assumptions. splitting of blood, GsthmGs, and aH diseases of the breast and lungs, prepared by v. BUT LER, Baltimore, Md.
 OF the various diseases to which the human family " are subject, none is so insdious, so dangerous and destructive, as the consumption. The bills of mortality published in the newspapers exhibit the mel anchoy fact that the proportion ofdeaths by this dis ease may be considered as about five to one. In as much then as this fatal disease bids defiance to the skill ofthe most learned physicians, it is great grat f ation the subscriber, that he is enabled offer that highly valuable remedy, the VEGETABLE IN DIAN SPECIFIC. The Indians are happy in their knowledge of medical plants. Governed wholly by experience they are certain as to their effect, and 1t IS said by an author of great character that true sumption IS a disease never known among them And the reason is obvious,so as they find themselves in danger, they have tS their remedy, which is always at hand and which it is in their power to procure without expense. As is difficult for physi- cians, much more for common people, to judge ofthe symptoms which threaten this disease, it may be prop CT to give an account of them in detail.

From the Portland Yankee.
40 INTELLEcTuAL REAuTY


TO INTELLECTUAL BEAUTY.
The awful shadow of some unseen power
Floats though unseen among us;
It visits, with inconstant glance,
Each human heart and countenance -
Like clouds IN starlight widely spread,
Like memory Of music fed
Like aught that for its grace may be
Dear, and yet dearer for its mystery.
Spirit of beauty
Why dost thou pass away, and leave our state,
This dim vast vale oftears, vacant and desolate
Ask why the sunlight, not forever,
Weaves rainbows Ger yon mountain river
Why aught should fail and fade that once is
shown
Why fear, and dream, and death, and birth,
Cast on the daylight of this earth
Snch gloom why man has such scope
For love and hate, dependency and hope
No voice from some sublimer world has ever
To sage or poet these responses given;
Therefore the names of Demon, Ghost, and
Heaven.
Remain the records of their vain endeavor;
Frail spells, whose unutter'd charm might not
avail to sever
From all we hear, and all we see,
Doubt chance, and mutability.
Thy light alone
Gives grace and truth to LIES unquiet dream.
While yet boy sought for ghosts, and sped
Through many listening chamber, cave
and ruin,
And starlight wood, with fearful steps, pur-
suing
Hopes of high talk with the departed dead,
called on poisonous names with which our
youth is fed;
] was not heard; / saw them not;
When musing deeply on the lot
Of life, at that sweet time when birds are
wooing
All vital things that wake to bring
News of birds and blossoming,
Sudden thy shadow fell on me
shrek d, and clasp'd my hands in ecstacy
vow'd that would dedicate my powers
To thee and thine; have l not kept the
vow?
With beating heart and streaming eyes,
even now
call the phantoms of a thousand hours
Each from his voiceless grave, they have in Wis
Toned bowers
Of studous zeal or loves delight,
Outwatchd with me the envious night;
They know that never JOY Humid my brow,
Unlink d with hope that thou wouldst free
This world from its dark slavery.
The day becomes more solemn and serene
When morn is past; there is harmony
IN autumn, ana d luStFe III LIle SKY,
Which through the summer is not heard nor
seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been.
Thus let thy power, which like the truth
Ofnature on my pensive youth,
Descended, to my onward life supply
Its calm, to one who wOrships thee,
And every form containing thee,
Whom, spirit fair, thy spells did bind
To fear himself and love all human kind.

NSCHOOLS IN PRUSSIA.

We are permitted to publish the follow
inc extract of letter from Berlin.
81 had the pleasure Of seeing, the other
day, the Ex-Prussian, minister, Bekedoft,
who had for i long time the direction OF all
the primary schools in Prussia. lie gaze
ME some interesting information respecting
the arrangements here, relative to this sub
ject. After the government had determin-
ed that every child should be sent to school,
their main object was to provide proper
teachers. For this purpose, in each of the
ten Prnssan provinces, they created at least
one, and in most of them, more seminaries,
for the education ofteachers /; besides small
er institutions for the preparation of teach
ers for the schools in which nothing more
than reading, writing, and cyphering are
taught. The higher seminaries prepare
teachers for all schools below the gymnasla,
which form an entirely distinct department.
These, and the universities, are an entirely
different concern. These seminarieS for
teachers are all under clerical management,
and before any teacher can be employed,
has as regular a course of examination to 60
through, as candidate for the ministry, or
for the medical man. Every school district,
.or commune, as it is called, is obliged 10 build
its own school house, and every man is tax
ed according to his property, for the support
of the teacher; and this is the case wheth-
er the man have children or not; and then,
of course, the schools are free. The mag
istrates are empowered and enjoined to Sc
cure the execution Of this law, and the at
tendance of the children. The parents are
subject to fine if they refuse to send their
children to the school; and in some in
stances, absolute force has been used to Sc
cure the attendance of the children. This
however, is very rare, as the only reason
that poor parent, in most cases, can have
to prevent his child being educated, is the
need of its services; the fine is sufficient tc
attain the end. In all these schools, the
Bible is used as reading book, and the
biblical history made matter of instruction
by the teacher. The religious instruction
however, properly belongs to the pastor
who is obliged TO devote at least one houl
in the week to this object. All the children
the boys at fifteen and the girls at fourteen
are confirmed and before this they must
at least for one year, have had regular in
struction. This is not mere form, the oh
iect is actually accomplished. | have de
signedly talked with some of the poores
