From the Meadve Democrat and Courier,
A SIMPLE CURE FOR ASTHMA.
To the editor,
Dear Sir--The following simple remedy
for the Asthn.a,as related by Doct. Monroe,
professor of Anatomy in the University of
Edlnbnrg, give you for publicity, should
you think 1t worthy place in your paper.
am moved TO this act from the considera-
ton that some whom l respect in this boz
rough and neighborhood, are much afflicted
with that distressing complaint
The late DR.. John Hume, one Of the
Commissioners Of the sick and hurt III the
Royal Navy, was for many years violently
afflicted with the Asthma. Having taken
many medicines without relief, he at last
resolved to try the effects of honeg, having
had great opinion Of its virtues as pecto-
raj. For two or three years he eat some
ounces of it daily, and got entirely free of
his asthma, and likewise of gravelly cone
plant, with which he had recovered his
health, when he was sitting one day in his
office for the sick and hurt, person labor
ing under great difficulty of breathing, who
looked as if he could not live many days,
came to him and asked him by what means
he had been cured Of his Asthma. DIR.
Hume told him the particulars of his cure.
For two years the DR.. heard nothing Of this
person, who was a stranger 10 him, and
had seemed so bad that he did not imagine
that he could live very long, and, therefore;
had not even asked who he was. Howev-
er, at the end of that period, man in per-
feet health and decently dressed, came to
the Office Of the sick and hurt, and returned
DR.. Hume thanks for his cure, assuring him
that it had been brought about by the free
use Of honey. Let every one, therefore,
afflicted with the Asthma, whether the dis
ease be of the dry or humid character, give
honey a full and fair trial by eating as
much of it daily, especially morning and
evening, as will amount to or ounces per
day.

lie no doubt thinks'-said Henry to him
self as he left the house not knowing which
way to go-'He no doubt thinks the ship
is lost and himself ruined Oh God! what
can have become of Louisa: perhaps this
moment suffering for want, t,arnong strangers.
The thought maddened him. i must find
her--l sCiH find her, nou!' he exclaimed,
still pursuing his way in any direction he
happened to take. A plan occurred to him.
He would go TO the crier and have II decla-
red throughout the city, that the ship c.
supposed TO have been burnt by pirates had
arrived safe at New York. The Harcourts,
if they were in the city, would hear of it,
and all would again be right.
Turning down -------- street, he observ-
ed young lady come out Of a house, on
which was a large sign, Employment Civ
en- to Female Poor From the slight glance
he obtained of her face, he thought il was
Louisa. He followed her; she turned up a
court and entered small wooden building;
few moments afterwards Henry knocked
at the door. 1t was opened by Louisa Har-
court She did not recognize him, he was
so altered.
DO You not know me, Louisa? Have
you forgotten Henry SEYMOUR
She made no answer, but tainted and fell
into his arms; he called for assistance; Mr..
and Mrs. Harcourt came; Henry gave Lou
sia to Mrs. Harcourt, and requested to
speak to Mr.. H. They entered room;
Henry made himself known, communica
ted the joyful intelligence; and concluded by
saying, Il have nov one favor 10 ask. Per-
nit me to visit your family as one friend
visits another Mr.. Harcourt seized his
hand. Henry, we will never part. Take
my daughter for YOUR wife, if you think
her worthy Of you. Try to forget all that
has passed; and it will not be my fault il
we are not happy
louisa and her mother entered the room;
all was explained. Henry passed the eve
ming relating his adventures, and returned
to his lodgings the happiest being alive,
with the exception of the Harcourts.

ladies who had been coming scandal all the

BEAUTIFuL EXTRACr,

The following beautiful extract is taken
from " Wilson Conworth,' in the last num-
Der of the Knickerbocker Magazine -
4" The land of William Penn is the only
soil not purchased by the blood of the ma
tives. A feeling of peace came over me, as
thought of this, and called to mind the
scene where he is represented as treating
with the Indians: The design is magnif-
cent.
How firm must have been the principles
of that man! What a religion that must be,
which fortfies man to og wit hout armour
or shield into the midst of an Indian tribe,
relying OH the efficacy of his own purity of
purpose, and the dignity Of bis sentiments
to protect him! How much is heroism be-
yond the daring of the warrior! The one is
moral the other is physical courage. Is
there in all history character that approach
es nearer to the character of Christ than his!
His WEAPONS were weapons of meekness
and love; he went about doing good, he en-
dured adversely with patience, and would
have suffered martyrdom for his faith. His
fame is the purest fame; there is not blot
upon his character. His principles of
peace, which are getting to be the princi-
pies Of the whole civilized world. Thus
much he was in advance of the age. AS
touched the soil of Penn, determined to
seek out a home in some community of
Friends"

A SKETCH FOUND IN TUE roRTFoLIo OF THE LATE
Tony TEMPERANCE, ESQ,

SKETCH POUND IN THE PORTFOLIO OF THE LATE
Tony TEMPERANCE, ESQ,
At the close Of 6ne summer day, at an
open window, in large and elegant man
sion in B. street, Boston, sat Louisa
Harcourt, her head reclining on her hand;
which was partly concealed by her dark
chesnut hair, which hung in graceful ring
lets over her face. She appeared lost in
thought.
At little distance from the window sat
her mother, an aristocratic looking lady, in
q rich dress, which, sparkling with jewels,
Contrasted strangely with her daughters
white muslin dress, and beautiful hair; or
hamented only with golden band.
Louisa, DEAR said her mother, 'hOW
dull you are this EVENING" you have not
said word for an hour. | expect Mr.,
Palmer every moment, and hope you will
stay and see him.
The young lady raised her head and dis
played most beautiful countenance. Her
features were small and very regular Her
skin of alabaster whiteness. Her cheek
was pale, and the eyes, which were deep
blue, were filled with tears. Rising to leave
the room, she displayed beautiful, slender
form, rather smaller than the ordinary
height
Louisa Harcourt was eighteen years Of
age. When twelve years old, she became
acquainted with a young man named Henry
Seymour, two years older than herself
Their acquaintance ripened into friendship
from friendship into love.
Henry always met with welcome at Mr.
Harcourts, until he began to see the course
things were taking, About two month,
previous to the commencement Of my tale

that the Spring Is giving birth to poetry as beauti
full as its own flowers

Beauteous Spring! love thy bower9
Thy many hucd and scented flowers,
The glorious dyes
OF thy sunset skies,
And the sweet repose of thy moonlight hoHrs.

While leaping ril!s
And breezy hills
And rocks and valcs the notes prof6ngs
Bounteous Spring! thou bringrst flowers,
. And freshening Ilews to the faded bowersj
vi Unchain'st the rills,
And Ger Wales and hills
Pour'st down the sUft and gentle showers.
While sigh thy gales of rich perfume,
And wave thy flowers Of fairest bloom,
Ger those who sleep,
InAlumbers deep,
In the peaceful rest of the grassy tomb.
Delightful Spring. | Ikheel hear
Thy eloquent song breathed soft and clear
Der hill and dale,
While the balnly gale
Bears every sound to my listening ear
Oh! soft is the gentle lullaby,
And pure and clear the violet skyi
And the rainbow wing
OF the Emerald Spring
Is tanning my brow as she wanders bys
Oh! here with glowing heart bring
Ny pure and grateful offering
Of thanks and love
To the God above.
Who made the eloquent, blooming Spring.
