The only time during the twelve months of the
year, when it may be truly said that the inhabi-
iants of the city of Gotham abandon business,
dvest themselves of the cares and anxienes Of
life, aud make it point TO parlake of enjoyment,
is during the Christmas holidays. This is the
carnival time of New York, and lasts from about
week before Christmas to a week after New
Years day.
The schools and academies are then temporari-
ly closed the big and little urchins are Temporal
rily let loose-the authority of the school madams
aud masters is for the time suspended-and the
parents and guardians enjoy the society OF their
children and wards during vacation. The cake
bakers and coniectoners assume an air OF great
importance, for they know full well their ser
vices are at that time of the highest impor-
tance-the toy dealers exhibit their Juvenile pre-
sents--the bazaar keepers and cabinet makers
their neatest productonsin fine, every trader, OF
high aud low degree, considers it his duty to put
the best leg foremost" during the holidays, and
accumulate much spare change as ne can
while the carnival lasts.
We did intend to give a description of the
Christmas carnival, but we find il impossible to
do Justice to the subject in an article of ordinary
length. In lieu OF doing so, we refer our readers
10 the advertising columns of this journal, which
vii! perhaps give them as good a description Of
the way The holidays are celebrated in New York,
any article that might be written on the subject
could convey TO them. Advertising is now an es-
sential element OF society, and faithfully depicts
the age we live in. In these days of the pomp
and circumstance Of glorious war, we think it
better to take this

leaky, and that the captain of one of the others
discharged his first pilot, end took New York
pilot, in order TO get TO sea in safety.
In conclusion, and as the supporters and de-
tenders OF the weak and oppressed against the
oppressors, we defy the opponents of the New
York Pilots to substantate the charges they have
made against them in the columns of their organs,
and assure them that their efforts to crush these
noble fellows will most signally fail. "Thrice
armed is he whose cause is Just"

From the New York Herald,
nOCTOR GREEN, of Reading, Pennsylva
- MIA, founder of the cold water system as
remedy against intemperance, sayeth:
That much Of The art Of Physic consists in kno,oir,s
when not to gire IL.
Nothing more true than the want Of this knowl
edge and the want of knowing when not to Civ,
physic, instead of giving it, has done more harm
than good to hundreds and thousands Of people
throughout the world
His method is founded on the laws Of nature anG
on scripture, which sayeth "there's time for al
things" Consequently, there's time for physit
well as for other things. Truly is there.
This doctrine, founded on the laws Of God, be
ing superior and going before the laws of man
enable the to do what he otherwise could not do
Enableth the farmer to give seed to the EARTH bu
kind Providence giveth harvest. So, similar
principles, enableth the physician to give medicine
to the sck-but that same kind Providence giveth
health. Let us be thankful,
The Doctors discovery Of new and easy mode
Of giving health TO the sick, and, at the same time
preventing them from living as usual is gaining
ground and fast spreading over the world-bringine
to him, in return, applications from distant lands
through letters well as through personal applica
tons "'
We could enumerate many cases Of sickness that
have yielded to his principle of cure, both from
foreign and neighborlng countries and also some in
our own immediate neighborhood, particularly one
of female who resides Nazareth, and, If we
mistake not, is member of that exemplary and
praiseworthy society denomnated Moravians.
She was sorely afflicted for number of years,
and part Of that affection was mental alienation,
sickness causing dreadful distress both Of body and
mind. ..' q. ... 30
She was placed under the direction and care OF
several eminent medical men, who treated her &C.
cording to the old medical school, which terminated
without success
Afterwards she was placed under the care, and
treated according to the doctrine prescribed by
the medical man named at the head of this article,
and which terminated in success.
This new doctrine has restored her to health and
happiness, and to the hopes of family friends and
relatives.
N. B. His principle of cure restores hearing and
eyesight. ..
Ii is done without putting anything into the ears
or eyes: Of course, no danger whatever can happen
to them; for the putting of things into them as of
people do, has been the ruin of hundreds and thou
sands Of people.
