An officer in the British service, resi-.

with the fatal disease, and was reduced
by it to nearly skeleton his friends

he himself had given up all hopes OF lohg
continuance of life. He was one morn

dentally went into a, shed where a man

arising from the rosin. To the surprise
of the afflicted one his respiration became
more free and unobstructed, and it instant.

rienced was procured. by his having
inhaled the resinous smoke. He fenain-
ed better during the day, and without con-
sulting BIZ, doctor, repeated the experiment.
in his sleeping room. This night he slept
soundIy-a blessing be had not known for

Twice day, for week, did he continr

success. He then mentioned the affair to
his medical adviser, wh9 was equally
surprised with himself at The improvement
of his patients health and advised him to

cough left him. aid bis appetite returned.
In six months his health was so improved
that he contemplated returning to his MAJ

so until year had expired. Still per-
sisting in his new found remedy, his health
was completely restored and he was once
more a sound man.

Destruction Of Wood.

An aged veteran ia the cause OF Agrie
Culture, observed to US the other day. lhat
single neighborhood in his vicinity, And
within the comparatively short period Of
seven years, no fewer than three hundred
acres Of we'll wool ed forest land, had been
cleared gifts original growth.

rate very few years will suffice to ''do
US up" Ii lie matter of fuel, as we are
already some what 'straightened,' and un,
der the necessity Of paying roundly for
everything we get in the shape Of wood,
whether dehagrable or not.
There are fewer evils more to he Ia,
mented than the destruction ofthe growing
wood. In an able speech. delivered 3
few years since. before the French House
of Commons, NJ Thusn, in relation to this
subject, remarked, "That war, pestilencs
and famine are less terrible Affections than
the destruction OF wood. .ai,I
France, observed the statesman, twill
disappear as many tflourishing countries
have, if she does not follow the example
of Cyrus, who planted forests in Asia
Minor. 1t is only the abundance of for.
es,s and water that enables China to sup.
port her three hundred millions Of popu.
lation, because in this empire, there arc
more trees planted than destroyed. Spain,

lated. in the time Of The Romans. the

waste of wood" The same is the case
With most of the countries in Asia, and the
same PROFESSIONALLY, ere. long, will: be
the case in this country, unless efficient
and speedy measures are adopted to Prs:
vent it. It Is indeed painful contempla:

San Francisco Bay Two thousand pounds
have already been extracted from the lat

at both ends. In little longer time two
others were thrown over, and made firm
to the opposite shore. Bonaparte was
there, walking backwards and forwards
in the mud, cheering on the men, end ac-
celebrating the work which was driven

es lower down the river as if be intended
to cross there, in orderto distract the enc
my from the real point Of danger. On
these the Austrians kept up an incessant
fire of artillery, which was answered by
the French from the island with 100 can
con, lighting up the darkness Of the night
with their incessant blaze. The village
of Erzerdorf was set on fire and burned
with terrific ierceness-for tempest
arose as if in harmony with the scene. and
blew the flames into ten fold fury. Dark
clouds swept the midnight heavens, as-if
gathering for contest among themselves.
The artillery of heaven was heard above
the roar of cannon and the bright lightning
that ever and anon rent the gloom, blent
inwith incsssant flashes below, while blaz-
ing bombs, traversing the sky in every d.
rection, wove their fiery net. work over the
heavens, making the night wild and awful
as the last day of time. In the midst of
this scene of terror, Napoleon remained
unmoved, needless alike of the storm of
the elements and the storm of artillery,
and though the wind shrieked around him,
and the dark Danube rolled its turbulent
flood at his feet, his eye only watched the
movements of his rapid columns over the
bridges, while his sharp, quick voice gave
redoubled energy to every effort. The
tlme-the scene-the immense results at
stake-all harmonized with his stern and
tempestuous nature. His perceptions be-
came quicker, and his will firmer and his
confidence of success stronger. BY o.
clock in the morning, 100000 infantry,
and 10000 cavalry stood in battle array
on the shores of the Danube, from whence
a month before the Austriars had driven
the army in alright. The clouds had
vanished with the night, and when the.
glorious sun arose over the hill tops, his
beams cleaned over a countless array of
helmets; and nearly 100000 bayonets
glittered in his light. 1t was a glorious
spectacle. Those two mighty armies
standing in the early sunlight amid the
green fields, while the air fairly sparkled
with the flashing steel, that rose like
forest over their heads. Nothing could
exceed the surprise of the Austriars, when
they saw the French legions across the
river and ready for battle.

MAN WAS NOT MADE TO MOURN.


There is voice that haunts me still,
Where'er on earth | be;
In lonely vale, on lofty hill,
And on the distant sea-
Ihear i: in the silent night,
And at the break Of morn;
And aye it crieth-dark or light
Man was not made to mourn
In ev'ry stream that seaward flows,
That voice salutes my ear;
In every wind that round me blows,
Its thrilling note hear;
In ev'ry sound of Natures heart,
The cheerful or foTlora,
This ever bears The better part
Man washot made to mourn
The sur that gIads the summer noon,
The light thar blessed all,
The myriad stars, the quiet moon,
The showers from heaven fall,
The flowers that in our meadows grow,
Our mountain paths adorn-
All, all, in their own fashion show
Man was not made to mourn
All Nature cries aloud-but man
Regards not Natures voice I;
Perverteth her benignant plan,
Her workmanship destroys
From her fair book the brightest page
With impious hands has torn,
Yet still she cries from age to age,
Man was not made to mourn!
o gentlest mother may the child
Ere long the lesson read;
Embrace thy Precepts, loving mind,
Thy fraternizing creed /;
Then shall the blessed end be known
For which he has been born;
And all shall feel, from zone to zone,
Man was not mode 10 mourn
