been made anxious by the sickly looks of
her children, 60 from pure air into their bed

of the atmosphere-the close, oppressive,

Sir James Clark on "IHe Sanitire Influence
of Climate"
VIs1oN-The following story is related
in German journal DIR. Wes,phal
clergyman of Brunswick died on the Goth
of February. Many persons intimate with
the deceased allege, that for several years
just past he had looked to the 20 Of FEBRUARY
1847 as the day of his death. This super
stitious presentment he accounted for as fol-
lows :-"He declared that whilst he was Of
ficiatihg as the pastor OF a secluded country
village he was aroused one night by knock
ing at his door. On rising from his bed
and looking out of his Gambler window he
perceived a man with lantern in his hand
.Supposing that some sick or dying person
required his spiritual aid, he hastily dressed
himself and opened the door. TO his
questions the man replied only by signs his
wish that DR.. Westphal should follow him.
The Dr. did so; and, to his astonishment,
was conducted through the churchyard and
10 the front of the church door. On the
church door he saw distinctly written the
following words DR.. Wcs,phal died Feb.
Goth, lS47." Whilst he stood intentlv
gazing on this inscription his conductor dis
appeared The doctor made some marks
on the church door, and these marks we're
visible next day when we went to look for
them, a fact which served to convince him
that he had not been under the delusion of
a dream. He communicated these crcum-
stances to his family 10 whom for several
years past, the month of Feb'y has been an
interval Of fear and anxiety. Whether
from the efforts of nervous excitement, or
from whatever cause it is possible to deter
mine, but DR.. Westphal expired on the day
which he had long confidently looked for
ward as the last of his exlstence-the goth
of FEBRUARY, ia47.

The Woman of Mind.

WY wife is woman of mind,
And Devlle who examined her bumps.
Vow'd that never were found in a woman
Such large intellectual Jumps.
Idealty" big as an egg,
With "Causali,y," great, was combined !;
He charg'd me ten shillings, and said,
"Sir. your wife is woman of mind"
She's too clever to care how she looks
And will horrid blue spectacles wear,
Not because she supposcs they give her
A fine intellectual air
20 she pays no regard 10 appearance,
And combs all her front hair behind,
Not because she is proud other forehead,
But because she's woman Of mind
She makes me bushel Of verses,
But never pudding or tart,
If hint | should like one, she vows
Pm an animal merely at heart;
Tho Ive noticed she spurns not the pastry,
When e'er at q friends we have din'd,
And has always had two plates of pudding,
Such plates! for IA woman OF mind.
Not stitch does she do but distitch,
Mends her pen too instead of my clothes !;
l haven't shirt with a button,
Nor stocking that's sound at the toes;
If ask her 10 darn me pair,
She replies she has work more refined;
Besides being seen darning stockings!
Is it fit for woman of mind?
The children are squal!ing all day
For they're left to the care of maid
My wife can't attend to "thc units"
"The millions" are wanting her aid
And it's vul gar TO care for ones ofspring-
The mere brute has love of its kind
But SHE loves the whole human family,
For she is a woman Of mind
Every thing is an inch thick in dust,
And the servants do just as they please ;
The ceilings are cover'd with cobwebs,
The beds ore all swarming with neas;
The windows flave never been ciean'd
And as black as your hat is each blind ;
But my wifc's nobler things to attend to,
For she is woman Of mind
The nurse steals the tea and the sugar,
The cook sells the candles as grease,
And gives all the cold meat away
To her lover who's in the police
When hint that the housekeeping's heavy
And hard is the money to find,
Moneys vile filthy dross!" she declares,
And unworthy woman Of mind.
Wiener she goes out to dance
She refuses 10 join in the measure,
For dancing she can't but regard
AS an unintcllectual pleasure;
So she gives herself up to enjoymcnts
Of a more philosophical kind;
And picks all the people to pieces,
Like regular woman Of mind.
She speaks Of her Gavorite authors
In terms far from pleasant to hear;
"Charles Dickens" she vows, "is a darling;;"
"And Bulwer," she says, "is DEAR"
"Douglas Jerrold," with her, "is an angel" !"
And Pm an "illiterate hind,
Upon whom her fine intellecl's wasted,
Pm not fit for woman Of mind.
She goes not to church on Sunday,
Church is all very we'll in its way,
But she is too highly informed
Not to know all the parson can say;
1t does well enough for the servants,
And was for poor people design'd,
but bless you'll its no good to her
For SIZE is a woman Of mind.

RICE BREAD.-Take one pound of rice,
and boil it gently to thick paste, which,

most beautiful trophies which have

some of the flowers Of Mexico. If
our officers would recollect fire addi-
tions they are competent to make to

house of the productions which they
have conquered, they would initiate

Lieut., Albert, and Paymaster Rich.
Mexico abounds with the various and
beautiful productions of the garden,
and none more remarkable than the
extraordinary family Of the cacti.
we hope the collection in the Conser-
vatory of the Patent Office may be
enlarged by additional trophies Of this
description. Our intelligent friend
breckenridge, who attended Captain
Wilkes in his expedition. and gath
cred many of the exotics which grace
the Conservatory, is an excellent bot
anist; and one of the most agreeable
visits we ever pay in Washington, is
to his flower garden. The other eve
ming he was polite enough to show us
his splendid cacti, now in bloom, and
to point out some of the flowers
which have been sent to him from
Mexico. Among them were flowers
sent by General Patterson from
Tampico expressly for the Conser-
vatory, viz: one barrel of plants, con-
sisting of six pieces of cacti; one
yucca, or Spanish bayonet; six species
of tilandsia; seven epiphitic. or air
plants. Among the last were on.
cidiums, epidendrums, brass avola,

Think OF it.

If instead of the laundering wing system of inter-
nal improvements, the energies and means of the
people of this State had been directed to the finish
ing of one such work the Madison and ndianap o-
lis Railroad, it alone would have furnished an income
sufficient to have completed at this day nearly, if not
quite, every work then projected, and the State would
have had an income sufficient to have speedily and
promptly paid off its debit provided any had been
CURED.
We believe wing paper is hardy enough to deny
that the State is in prosperous condition
than she has been in for years She is no longer stig-
matized a rePudator. Her important works are
benefittng the people generally; and easy do they
ee that works. to be undertaken by themselves,
are springng up, and being urged to completion, in
every section. And we see lear of nothing, in
word, but evidences Of general prosperity.
Will the people now look back some FIVE or six
years and call mind the dire representations of
the wing press and whig orators, should they resolve
to elect a Democratic State administration o how
feelngly Gid they urge the voters to saue The charac
Gcter and credit Of the State" by electing wings!
what ruin and distress they prophesIed, should james
IVhitconlb be called to fill the gubernatoria chair
o what rascals the Chapmans for daring to tell
the truth, and skinning the coons And o how eve
~ thing would go to wreck and ruin,-hOw the poor
ship Of State would be tost and stranded-how your
taxes would be increased and your farms sold from under
you-your banks gutted robbed and blown to the four
winds of heaven,-your school fund robbed and your
children sent forth the world ignorant hewers of
wood and drawers of water,-and the untold number
less plaques that would fOllow,--should Democracy
obtain the rule
Was it not so, Indianiansl Do not these same
false prophets still echo similar lamentations And
is it so! Answer for yourselves. And time has
proved their predictions unfounded in Stale Gov
eminent, the same purifier doubly contradcts them in
our nation. If general prosperity ever prevailed
throughout country, it does now The only ercite
nent is the struggling of the Federal wings for pow
err, and the bitter opposition 10 their government OF
those in whose veins yet the tory blood Of the
