During Feat, and Attractions Escape.- In Laurens street, near Spring street, yes- terday evening, about o'clock, child fell down cistern, constructed in the shape of jug. with neck or entrance about three feet in length. The child had fallen in, and had foated under the sides of the cistern, when a person named A. J. Brown jump ed in, made dive, and succeeded in res- cuing the child. The diameter of the cis- tern is not more than fourteen inches, mere ly large enough for bucket ;and when every thing is taken into consideration the saving of the child is truly providen- tial. The child. when brought up, was recognised by MT. Brown as his own, although at the cry of "a child had fallen in the cistern," he knew nothing of it. It IS the sixth being he has rescued in the course of his life from watery grave. Where IS the Humane Society,". We reccomniend MT. Brown as proper subject of thelr fla yor.--.N. Y. Star.

ABOLITION AMALeAMATIoN.-The fol lowing advertisement recently appeared 1T the Boston .iherator


 ABOLITION AMALGAMATIoN.- The fol- lowing advertisement recently appeared in the Boston Liherater
 4 friend of equal rights, is convinced that our colored bretheren and sisters are enti- tied to all the rights and privileges which are claimed blythe whites; that prejudice against color IS extremely absurd; and that as long as this prejudice exists, its victims will feel the yoke of oppression crushing them to the earth. He takes the liberty also to state, (being himself what Is termed white man. should he meet with a suitable opportunity, he IS convinced that 1t would be his duty, and 1t IS his determination to bear testino- ny against this prejudice by marrying a col ored woman.
 Information would be thankfully received of any young, respectable, and intelligent colofed woman, (entirely or chiefly of Af- rican descent,) who would be willing to endure the insults and reproaches that would be heaped upon her for being the partner of a wliite man and who Is either in low cir- cumstances, or who would be willing to cede all she has or may have of this worlds goods, to the American anti-slayery Society that the mouths of gainsayers may be stop ped. Information sent by letter (postpaid) to E. K. West-C Chester, Penn. will meet with due attention.
 There Is an appearance of sincerity ln this advertisement, which, 50 far as sineeri- ty Is virtue, should gain praise to the au- thor. When the Rev. Dr. Cox, consents that his son, If he has one,) should take a wife from the daughters of Guinea Ma bob--or when Nir. Arthur Tappan shall give one of his blooming, well educated, and accomplished daughters to good Istrapping black laborer In New York for a wife-we shall believe that those gentle men are as sincere and honest, as the good man of West-Chester, who tAus publicly announces his preference. If there are any bachelors in the Cambridge Anti-Slaye- " Society, we reccommend them also to Idivest themselves at once of the vulgar pre- ljudice against black. Philosophers tell us that all things are black when it Is dark it Is only by daylight that mems eyes are de- ceiyed by variety of colors. The distinc- ton of colors is mere optical delusion. - How much better Is 1t to have wife, who shall always be of the same color, and not subject to the capricious changes which va riations in the numberand direction trays of i light may produce. Numidias daughters are the real children of the sun; and have ''faces flushed with more exalted charms'' then all "the pale unripened beauties of the north" There Is but one obstacle in the way of this scheme of abolition. It is gen. erally believed that the colored ladies are a little too fond of their complexion to sul- fer it to be adulterated in their offsprings by such unnatural connexIncs.-Bost. Cour.

has been cured of corn each foot, which had been
exceedingly troublesome and painful for years. and
think It but uatce to your invaluable preparation to
add, (or the encouragement of those who' owing to
repeated disappointments in the various remedies re
sorted to, have finally despaired of cure) that your

commended remedies 10 no purpose; and what in
