CONSUMPTION.

A young lady in the last stage Of con-
sumption, was lately restored to health by
the following extraordinary and acciten-
tai remedy. She had long been attended
by the faculty, but derived no benefit
from their prescriptions, and considered
herselfverging to the end Of cxistance,
wheu she retired during the summer to a
vale in the country, with the intention to
wait in solitude the hour Of approaching
dissolution. While in that situation it was
her custom to rise as early rs her malady
would permit, and contemplate the beau
ties of nature, and the wonderful works
Of God from her chamber window, from
which she observed dog belonging to
the house, with scarcely any flesh on his
bones, constantly 60 and lick tho dew of
a camomle bed in the garden /; in doing
which the animal was noticed to alter his
appearance, to receive strength, and final
ly looking plump and well. The singu-
larty Of the circumstance, was impressed
strongly on the lady's mind. aud induced
her to try what effect might be produced
from following the dogs example. She
accordingly procured the dew from the
same bed Of camomie, drank small
quantity each morning, and after continu-
ing il some time, experienced some re-
lief her appetite became regular, she
found return Of spirits, and in the end
was completely cured.

To MEcHANIcs.-Of all pursuits of
life none more certainly ensures comfort
and respectabillity, than that of mechan-
ic. The man who understands useful
|irsdessend blessed with health, need new
er want food, or clothing, or shelter, pro-
vided he be industrious and prudent
So well have the Jews understood this,
that every Jew, whatever his rank, in all
ages, has been required to learn some
useful trade.
Why is it then that so many skilful
men OF this class, have never more than
the bare neccessaries of life their fami-
lies scantly supplied with food nothing
laid up and when death comes perhaps
wife and children are left destitute and
helpless : The simple reason in nine ca
ses out OF ten, is this: they indulge in
the useless, perncious, destroying prac-
tice OF drinking spirits. Useless, as is
proved by the testimony of medical men
and all who abstain from it; pernicIous,
from its invariahlc effects on the health,
disposition and morals wasting for it
leads most generally to poverty and want |;
destroying, for respectability, poverty and
life fall sacrifice before it.
A mechanic who is 40 years of age,
and who has expended I2 l-2 cents a
day for spirits, who is feeling the bitter
ness Of poverty by saving this sum, he
might since he was g years of age, have
accumulated about 1000 dollars--it he is
SO years of age, 1900 dollars-6O years
Of age 300 dollars.

tion. IL is now six months since this
tcsudx hss been Spefi-bound by il, and
tkePt under this strange and miserable
delusion.
But irony apart that honorable gen.
tlemag tells this country, and with a nota
bene, that il is not lightly said-but upon
his dignity as a Senator, and his honor
as private sgentleman-that their dis
tresses, whether real or imaginary, or
partly one and partly the other, have oil
passed away and that the prosperity of
the country compared With the average
OF late years, was never greater than it
lnow h.. The country, no doubt, has
Igreat 'iespect for that gentleman |; but /
doubt whether they will give him entire
credit for the correctness of this state
ment, contI addicted as il is by the evil
dence Of their own senses and by the
still better evidence Of their own bitter
experience. ~.
They will tell him that they have seen
with their own eyes, and ielt by their
own experience, the currency Of the
:euntry o be deraDged, totally deranged
by the arbitrary act OF the Executive
thereon and all its attendant evIls-the
confidence of the eaptal of the. country
TO has thershy .dsstroyed-:s and with the
confidence, the credit, and with the cred
it, the business, and with the business,
the prosperity of the country, to be de-
stroyed. And that these disastrous con-
sequences Of that arbitrary act Of power
still remain upon the country and must
remain, unabated and unlnitigated, while
the cause remains as it does unremoved
and unremedIed.
1t seems now to be finally settled, that
the cause is not 10 be removed and that
the country is not to be relieved, either
by the action of the Executive, or OF
Congress. The country must now be
qwarc}of this fact I; and they will now no
longer feed themselves with delusive
hopes from that quarter. They must
now sec that the only remedy for their
grievances is to be found in themselves
and to be applied by themselves.
