THECKED PERSPIRATION.-I other
" words e'catching cod.' The skin then, and
not the internal organs is out of order. And we
assert that unless the skin is brought into healthy
activity, and made to eliminate the Insensible Per-
spiration freely and fully, not all the medicines in
the world will save the consumptive from the grave
To make our words true lei US quote from cele-
brated southern doctor, who wrote labored trea-
| tise on Pulmonary Consumption. He says: "But
let return to the consideration Of the indication
of cure it is simply this the restoration of the
| INSENSIBLE PRESENTATION. In other words,
to excite natural healthy action in the skin. This
all that is required for the cure of 999 out
thousand" Here, then, is another where
the true principle Of physiology is understood, and
the result to be produced in sickness and disease
and yet not knowing any other agent than inward
medicines to effect it. Physicians beg to see this,
acknowledge it in their writings, declare it with
much feeling but know Of no prescription that will
apply to the human cutcle to restore it to healthy
activity, and hence their necessity of still admins
tering inward remedies, instead of

HEADS AND TExrs-The excellent and
eccentric Rowland Hill when once in Scot
land, was found fault with because he had
no head and particulars in his sermons
When he next assembled the pulpit he made
an apology for his past omissions, and an
nounced that he should now have cour heads
how many particulars he did not yet know:
first, he should 60 round about his text
second, he should come up TO his text; third,
he should 60 through his text; and fourth,
he should 60 away from his text.

A NICE POINT OF LAw.-It has been sug-
gested to our friend, Mr.. Brefess, that his
opinion would be very valuable on the
question, whether man who dies before he
has settled with his creditors, may be con-
sidered to have shown an undue preference,
in paying the debt of Nature before his other
liabilities Punch.

SYMPATHY.
Oh, would there where some one fond and fair,
Leaning DER my solitary chair,
With her jasmin breath against nay cheek,
Looking DER the book daily seek
One to answer full my faintest tone
In gentle cadence of her own
One to enter soft my Utmost cells,
Like tuneful bee the frailest bells.
For the glorious book too much for one,
As for one poor planet the glorious sun
The transccndant rush of Heavens breeze
Fills me with DER abundancies-
Happy! might halve its mystic Joy
With breast that knew no harsh alloy
Might | rid ME of its irksome might
Ia the soul of some one kind and bright.

oh! never breathe dead ones name,
When those who loved that one are nigh,
1t pours a lava through the frame
That chokes the breast and fills the eye;
1t strains chord that yields too much
Ofpiercing anguish in its breath,
And hands Of mercy should not touch
A string made eloquent by death.
oh! never breathe lost ones name
To those who called that one their own;
1t only stirs the Wondering fame
That burns upon charnel stone.
The heart will ache, and well nigh break,
To miss that one forever fled;
And lips fmercy should not wake
A love that cherishes the dead.

LET US ALL BE UNHAPPY TOGETHER

LET US ALL BE UNHAPPY TOGETHER.
Oh come on some cold rainy day,
When the birds cannot show dry feather,
Bring your signs and your tears, Fanny Gray,
Let us all be unhappy together;
Bring the heart-piercing shoots from your corns;
Bring all the dull news you can gather;
Bring Dick Dismal, who looks so forlorn;
Let US all be unhappy together
Well talk about mldews and bights,
Occasional by badness of weather;
About horrible dreams and dull nights,
And we'll all be unhappy together:
And we'll talk of the ghost without head,
That kissd mother Mu-rp in the cellar,
That frighten'd the BARRIERS boy dead;
And we'll all be unhappy together.
Let us fancy fresh duty on snuff,
Cats, lap'dogs, or monkeys so clever;
Let's suppose that there is taxes enough,
To make us unhappy together;
Let us talk ofinvasion and blood,
OF devils, black, blue, white and yellow,
Noah's ark, old Noah and the flood;
Let us all be unhappy together.
Let us mourn for those days that are past,
When our hearts were as light as feather,
Let's suppose that this day is our last,
Let us all be unhappy together;
And charge you, my dear Fanny Gray,
Should you meet Susan Sad, that you tell her,
The keg's bust the gins run away;
And we're all unhappy together.
