CHOLERA INorDENr.-7he Effect of the Will.
The following, which we take from the Lou
isville Journal of Wednesday last, shows how
much the mind has to do, in producing or ward
ing off cholera attacks:
On Tuesday, the wife of man named Jacques
in the lower part of the city, was attacked by
cholera DR.. Knight was called in, and, by his
direction, Jacques went for medicine. On his
return home he inquired anxiously OF the doctor
how his wife was He was informed that she
was in collapsed state and could not possibly
live. Thereupon he calmly took out his watch:
and handing it to his brother, said "My wife
is going TO die, and l cannot do without her; I
shall die too" He seemed in perfect health at
the time, but all the symptoms of cholera made
their appearance Immediately, and he died in
three hours

AWFUL CHOLERA FArALrTY--We copy the
following from the Rising Sun {Ia.} True Wing
OF the goth instant
A man from Pennsy lvania, (name unknown,)
with a wife and six children, left Cincinnati one
day last week, in skiff intending to go to Mad
lson--aud when arriving at North Bend his
vile was taken with the cholera, and died in a
few hours, her husband nailed rough box to-
gether, itnbedding it in the sand, where he left
her.
On arriving at Millersburg, few miles below
this place, all of the children died, but one, and
were buried in like manner The next day the
father died, aud was buried OH sand bar, by
fisherman. This completed the whole family,
with the exception Of Girl three or four years
Old, who is now living with the fisherman who
buried her father.
This is certainly one of the most remarkable
cases OF fatality on record. The surviving girl

SONG OF A LITTLE HEART.

I'll sing thee a song of little heart,
That belonged TO dear little maid,
And I'll tell thee in rhyme OF the curious part
That this dear little heart once played.
For the little maid asked her heart one day,
As it beat meath her bosom Of snow:
In faith, little trember, would'st thou awayl
But the little heart answered-No
And there came an old man with urrowed cheek
With his head ST. bald and grey,
And he Jmgled his gold and thus did seek
To cntce this heart away.
Ila ha said the little maid, with laugh,
Old man with thy head OF snow,
Dost think that care for thy yellow chafl
And the little heart answcred-No
And there came one with titled name,
Aud u string OF LIS NJ. and Ds,
And he said that his breast was consumed hy flame
That noughl but this heart could appease.
So the little maid asked her heart again,
Prlthce, little one, wilt thou 20 !
But the heart was veXcd and would scarcely deign
To answer her-No. no! no,
But there came a youth, gay, careless and fair,
Aud he stood meath u broad tree near
And he sang softly and sweetly an air.
That the maid cune close To hear.
And he kissed her aud smiled as she pressed he,
I'm utr hands II ilultered so-- [hearl
And she blrshed and signed as she badc him depart
But her little heart sad-No no,
