Britain and on the continent of Europe, and in
troduced into the United States under the inn
mediate superintendent of the inventor
The astonishing success of the Hungarian Bal
sam, in the cure ofevery form of consumption,
warrants the American agent in soliciting for
treatment the worst possible cases that can be
found in the community-cases that seek relief
in vain from any of the common remedies of
the day, and have been given up by the most
distinguished ply sicians as confirmed and in
durable. The Hungarian Batsam has cured
and will cure the most desperate of cases. 1t
is no quack nostrum, but standard English
medicine of known and established efficacy
Every family in the United States should be
supplied with it, not only to counterfeit the
consumptive tendencies of the climate but to
be used as preventive medicine in all cases
of colds, coughs, splitting blood, pain in the
side and chest, irritation and soreness of the
lungs, bronchitis, difficulty ofbreathing, hectic
fever, night sweats, emaciation and general de-
Dility, asthma, influenza, whooping- cough and

When | was down in our good town,
A month ago or more,
/ saw a very curious thing,
Which I'd ne 'er seen before.
Twas hanging in window case,
Upon a string a-straddle--
Looked something like an hour glass,
And something like saddle.
asked some of the people
Who CHANGED TO be at hand,
"What is it?" but their gibberish
could not understand.
One fellow called it a ''restraint'
On certain parties placed,
Like decree in chancery
To stay the tenants 'oGSte.
Another just the queerest chap
OF any in the swarm
Said twas not the glass Of fashion:
II was the mould of form.
Another said twas a machine
A lady used to rig her,
To bring her form and life into
The very smallest figure.
At last little girl came out,
And, think of my amaze!
She asked me ''if would not please
To want pair Of Stoyss"
Ofcourse, I'd heard of stays before,
But, strike me deaf and dumb,
1fever l, until that hour,
Suspected ''them was ump'
Well, is not it surprising strange
That any maid or wife,
Just for ''littie taper should
Put out the stamp Of GteP"
know that lunatics must have
Strait jackets put about EN-;
But women in their wits should make
A shift to do without EN-.

A CHILD's LAUGH.

love il, love 1.-THE laugh Of a child
Now ripping and gentle, now merry and wild;
Ringing out on the air with its innocent gush,
Like the thrill off, bird at the soft twilight
hush;
Floating up on the breeze like the tones of u
. bell,
Or the music that swells in the heart of a
she'll
OH the laugh of n child, so wild and so free,
Is the merriest sound in the world for me!

Don't Worry"

When Bulstrode Whitelocke was embark

he was much disturbed in mind as he rested
in Harwich on the preceding night, which
was very stormy, while he reflected on the
distracted state of the nation. 1t happened
shat confidential servant slept in an ada
cent bed, who, finding that his master could
not sleep, at length said, spray sir, will you
give me leave to ask you question:" Ger

governed the world very well before you
came into it," "Undoubtedly" "And pray
sir, don't you think he will govern il quite as
well when you are gone ont of itP" Ger
suiny." "Then sir, pray excuse me, but don't
YOU think you may trust him TO govern 1t

question 'Whitelocke had nothing TO reply;
but turning himself about, soon fell fast IL

DurY. A life of duty is the only cheerful
life: for all Joy springs from the affections;and
il is the great law ofnature, that without good
deeds ali good affection dies, and the heart
becomes utterly desolate. The external
world, too, then looses all it beauty; poetry
fades away from earth; for what poetry but
the reflection Of all pnre and sweet, all high
md lofty thoughts? But where duty is
s'Flowers laugh beneath her in their beds,
And fragrance i'll her footing treads;
She doth preserve the stars from wrong,
And tn eternal heavens, thro' her, are fresh
and strong.

At late meeting Of the British Associ-
alton, an explanation was given of the va
rious applications of gutta percha. "One
curious exhibition was hollow tube of this
substance, about one hundred yards in length
through which the breath of one party was
directed TO flute, whilst another party
played on the stops and keys, and the two
thus playing separate parts produce per-
feet tune. The object of this exhibition
was to illustrate plan proposed by the lee
turer. Mr.. Wishaw, for speaking telegraph
by means of which one party could convey

LIES SUNNY SPOTS.
BY WILLIAM LEGGETT.


Though LIES dark and thorny path,
It's goal the silent tomb,
1t yet spots Of sunshine hath,
That smile amid the gloom.
The friend who veal and wo partakes,
Unchanged, what'er his lot,
Who kindly soothes the heart that aches,
Is sure sunny spot.
The wife who half our burden bears,
And utters not moan,
Whose ready hand wipe off our tears,
Unheedng all her own;
Who treasures every kindly word,
Each barsher one u get,
And CAROL blithely as bid
She's too sunny spot.
The child, who lifts, at morn and eve,
In prayer, its tiny voice;
Who greves, WIENER its parents grieve,
And joys when they rejoice
In whose bright eye young Genius gows,
Whose heart, without BLOT
Is fresh and pure as sunny rose
That chld's a sunny spot.
There's yet, upon LIES weary road,
One spot Of brighter glow,
Where sorrow hath forgot its load,
And tears no longer flow;
Friendship may wither-love decline,
Our child his honor blot,
But still, undimmed, that spot will shine
RELIGION lights that spot.

LITERARY LADIEs.-A writer in the New
York Tribune, giving an account of liter
airy soiree in that city, describes the femi =
nine portion of the company as follows:
"The ladies are scattered all about as
thick as stars; yet we do not know how to
approach them. There is the stately Mrs.
Seba Smith bending aristocraticaly over
the centre-table, and taking in bright cold
steady stream, like an antique fountain by
moonlight; and yonder, nestled under light
shawl of heraldic red and blue, like bird
escaped from its cage and already longing
to get back again, is the spiritual and dain-
ty Fanny Osgood, clapPing her hands and
Growing like baby. Next her, sits, quiet
as pet lamb, the petite and piquante Mrs.
Ellet, her sparkling black eyes, humed with
the glitter of some wicked repartee she has
been forging. If she were not in Rome
you might have seen on the opposite side of
the table, Miss. Fuller, her large grey eyes
lamping inspiration and her thin quirering
lip prophesying like Pythoness. Yonder
by the fireplace sits the darkeyed and po-
e,ic faced Grace Greenwood, talking ear.
nestly, and casting bright glances of lam.
bent defiance around her, as if she loved
yet condemned everybody. Behiod her in
low armchair, which sways gently TO a
half murmured tune, sits the heart and soul
of tenderness and poetry, in the plump and
temporal person of Lydia Maria Child; she
never leaves her own retreat, and sings ever
loudest and sweetest from her nest. 1t is
strange that we should have encountered
her here amid this gay parade of beauty
and distinction. Though well deserving
place anywhere, by virtue Of the deptt
and purity of her genius, her fervid anC
o'ermastering worship of the beautiful, anc
the sincerity and classic simplicity of hel
soul, yet she and too seldom strays from
home, and seems even now to be uneasy
and restless, as if she fancied the room abou
to compress and fatten every body in it
and she detests flat people,"

HOWARD HIGH SCHOOL.

Mn. EDIroR: In late visit made to the
town of Fayette, Howard county Mo-, ]
embraced the opportunity of visiting the
Howard High School," one of the very
best institutions of learning in the West, as
think, for a thorough and sound educa-
ton for either males or females. There
are in regular attendance, as was informed,
some $50 scholars. | spent the greater
part of one afternoon and evening, in hear
ing the classes, in the various departments
of the school, rccite; and l was very much
gratified, both with the pains.tak of the
teachers, and the promptness of the students
to understand and answer, on the various
branches in which they were being taught.
The evening came off with Rehearsal
This consisted of tunes and songs on the
piano-forte, and reading pieces of original
composition, from paper, which is being
published by the young ladies of the school.
There was large crowd in attendance as
spectators, the spacious chapel was filled to
overlooking with ladies and gentlemen;
the performances on the piano were good,
some of them quite elegant; and the pieces
read from their paper, were quite appro-
pirate, various, and interesting, and the
whole went off very finely indeed.
Iwould take this opportunity of recon-
mending to the public generally, the Ho,o,
ard High School, as an institution of learn.
ing, of high grade, both for males and fe-
males, high in the confidence of its friends,
and worthy of universal patronage.

energy to rescue them from the grasp of
