SEAsoNABLE HINTs. - The Boston
Journal says:-"If your constitution is
delicate, wear flannel next the skin during
the summer season, and be particularly
careful that your young children wear it
also. We have heard an eminent ply
sician, now residing in this city, say that
a very large proportion of the deaths by
cholera infantum, which annually take
place in this city and vicinity, could have
been prevented by this>simple precaution.
II is the sudden changes of the weather,
the ordinary effects Of which may be in a
great measure warded of by wearing fan
mel next the skin, which produces these
fatal diseases, and which are generally
ascribed to too great an indulgence in
summer fruits.

Struggling through years of pain and toll
And joyless poverty.

Beautiful Extract.

1t cannot be that the earth is mans ONLY
abiding place. Ii cannot be that our life is a
bubble cast upon the wave and then to sink
into darkness and nothingness. Else why is
It that the aspirations which leap like angels
from the temple of our hearts are forever
wandering abroad unsatisfied. Why is il
That The rainbow and cloud come over us with
a beauty that Is not of earth, and then pass
OIL and leave us 10 muse on their faded low
illness! Why is it that the stars which hold
their %leStlvIty around The midnight throne,
are set so far above the reach of our limited
dcultIes-toreve knocking us by their un-
approachable glory? And finally, why is it
that bright forms of human beauty are pre-
scented 10 our view and then taken from us,
leaving the thousand streams of our affection
to How back in cold and alpine torrents upon
our hearts! We are born for a higher desti-
ny than that of earth. There is a realm where
the rainbow never fades-where the stars
will be spread out before us like the islands
that slumber in the ocean-and where the
beautiful beings that pass before us like Wis
ions, stay in our presence forever.
The CHoLERA.-We regret to announce
that this dreadful scourge is making its APP
p~earance in different parts of Europe and Asia.
Its approach is creating alarm with those who
have watched its progress from the plains of
Scinde toward Western Europe. About Is
months ago 1t ravaged the banks of the Indus
with fIightful severity, inficting serious loss
upon the British troops at Kurrachee and Hy-
derabad. About the same time it ragged in
Afghanistan; spread thence into Persia,
which il traversed from east to west, spread
ing to the northward into Tartary, and south
wardly into Turkish Kurdislan, and the Pa
chalic Of Bagdad. Early in the present year
1t made its appearance to the west of the Cau-
caslan mountains, and committed great raya-
ges in the Russian army acting against the
Circassians; and we just now learn of its re-
appearance in Europe, having broken out at
Taganrog, Indianapolis, and other ports ON
The westerly shores of the Sea ofAzof, Kief,
Smolensk, Rigs, Tifiis, Kars, Kontais, and

- True am old but tbs not years alone
Have thnncd and whitcncd thus these locks that do
But mock my temples with covering.
Grief hastens age; her wand wave with Times
The wrinkles she inscribcs upon the brow
Are deep as his; and deeper on the heart
Her foot prints. Years may bow the body down,
But, Sorrow thine the power TO bend the soul
And who like Want can teach humility?
Aflicton's hand has pressed me TO the earth, D.
And lean and whercd Poverty has thrown
Around me, as you see her tattcrcd mantle;
Whilst my old days behold herc-a bcggar.
AS houscless as the deer upon the hills
That knows not where TO seek a shelter when
The snow storm loads the bent apd groanng air.
Asking from door to door prccarious bread,
The crumbs that fall from Pcnty's burthencd table.
The world is full of men, but none have
For fellow OF some other race, mcthinks,
am--the last remaining of my kind.
Amid the crowd move as by myself
Like some lone bird transported from its place.
And freed beneath some sky it never saw,
Mong BIRDS oil every song except its
There is not one on earth that knows me none
TO look with kindness as pass,
Save now and then some gentle oncs-and they
Only because their pity is tribute
they gave To every wretchcd thing that lives.
All that have ever ioUed me have departed:
They who would in mine age have ministercd
To me, ARE NOT. A little group of graves
Grown thickly DER with grass and mountain flowers
And yearly dressed by their old fathers hand,
Is i, all that God hath left me of my children.
My Mary sleeps beside thcm-happv that
She stayed not long enough on earth TO know
How like desert this green world may be,
Without one living thing DER all its breadth
The heart may cling to, or that clings to us.
or all my house only have been left,
a wretch so leagucd with and misery
That have naught to do but suffer on,
In silence, through my earthly pilgrimage,
All hopeless that my 10, shall e'cr be n,cndcd.
But soon my steps must end some day, perhaps,
III lay me down weary by the way-sdc,
My arm beneath my head and one near,
And die :--some passing traveller pcrchancc,

COLLECTED from the ncchborhood, will hire
Some other wretch to give ii burial
