REMARKABLE CURE OF BRONCHITIS.
New YoaK, February II, ls4s.

New YoRK, February II, lS4S
Messrs. SANDS: Having suffered many years
with disease of my throat, affecting the larynp,
during which time i was treated by the most die
tinguishcd physicians in Europe and the United
States, without receiving any permanent benefit,
but all the time my general health and strength
declining, and the disease making fearful progress;
caustic applications were used and whatever else
thought most efficient for producing a cure;
but am confident that the deplorable situation ]
was in, the laryngitis being accompanied with
phthisis and great difficulty in breathing, would
have terminated my life, had not obtained
relief through the medium Of your invaluable Sar-
saparilla. ] must say, gentlemen, when COM
mcnccd using the Sarsaparlla did not place much
confidence ia its virtues and this will not surprise
you, when you arc informed had tried more than
fifty different remedies during the past four years.
without any success; but after taking your Sarsa-
pnrlla few weeks, | was obliged at last 10 yield
TO evidence. This marvellous specific has not only
relieved, but cured me; and I therefore think Il
my duty, gentlemen, for the benefit Of suffering
humanity, 10 give you this attestation of my cure.

way. She never left her nest, refused the
food which Cuvicr offered her, and, literally
broken. hearted, expired five days after the
death Of her beloved companion.
This little history left strong impression
on the amiable and gifted mind of the young
tu'or. 1t led him to devote bis leisure hours
to the persevering study Of natural history,
and many months afterwards he related the
anecdote to the Able Tessier, who was nav
ing visit 10 the chateau. Revolutionary
prosecutions had obliged this distinguished
young man to take refuge in Normandy, and
accept the situation of physician at the hos.
ptal Of Fecamp Struck with the evident
talent of Cuycr, he engaged him 10 deliver
a course of lectures on natural history to the
pupils attending his hospital and wrote to
introduce him TO the notice Of GeofIroy-
Saint-1liarc. Cuver entered into cores
pondence with these and other scientific
men; after some time passed in profound
study, he was appointed to ill the chair Of
comparative anatomy at Paris. The re-
mainder of his glorious career is matter Of
history.

CuYier and the Swallows.

in his latter DAYS the celebrated Cuvier
loved to recount the incident which first turn
cd his attention to the study of natural his
tory. While Young and in want, he was en-
gagged as tutor 10 the children Of the Counl
dc Hericy, and with his pupils inhabited an
old chateau in the Pays de Caus at Fiquain-
Vile Cuycr's room looked towards the
garden, and early each morning he was ac-
cusomcd to open lis window and lreathe
the fresh air before commencing the instruc-
ton of his somewhat undisciplined pupils.
One morning he observed two swallows build
ing nes, in the outer angle OF his small
basement. The male bird brought moist
clay in his bcak, which the hen. as it were,
kneadcd together. and, with the addition Of
straws and bits o! hay, formed their future
home. Once the frame work was compile
ted, both birds hcstened to line the interior
with feathers wool, and dried leaves ard
then taking flight together into a neighbofing
wood they did not return to their nest until
after the lapse of several days Meantime
some important everts had happened -
While the two swallows were so busily en-
ployed in constructing their home, Cu,ier
iad remarked two srarrows perchcd on
n,ighboring chimney, who seemed to watch
the progress of affairs with much curiosity
The treacherous object Of this surveillance
speedily became apparent; for no sooner
had the poor swallows left the coast clear,
than the pair OF sparrows took possession Of
the nest, and established themselves in it as
comfortably as though it had been their own
property. Cuvier remarked that they new
er absented themselves together from the
nest one always remained on the watch,
with its sturdy bill protruded through the
entrance. prepared to exclude every visitor
except the mate.
Al the end of the honeymoon the righful
owners returned What was THEN surprise
10 find the nest preoccupied. The cock flew
Indignantly against his dwelling, to expel the
intrrlers, but was met by the formidable at
tack of the male sparrow, which quickl, re-
pulsed the unlucky proprietor with bleed
ing head and ruiiled feathers. Trembling
with rage and shame, and his bright eyes
darling fire. he returned to his bride, perch
ed ola green bough, and seemed for some
moments to hold an anxious colloquy with
her 'They then took flight together and
soon disappeared. Presently the hen spar.
Tow returned, and her husband began as
Cuvier conjeeiured, to give her an anima-
ted account of his adventures, accompany
ing the recital with curious little cries, which |
might well pass for derisive laughter BE

waste much time in rha.tering, bu. fastened |

both remained within, and now two stout
beaks were placed ready to defend the en-

of swallows began to assemble on the roof. \

Sad hearts sec, and the measured tread,
The falling teais and the dropping head;
Again stroke from the mighty hand
of Death has filed with grief our land

BY the dolcful sound, he is dead he is dead.
He is dead he is dead the good md brave
No medicinal leaf had the power to save,
Nor physicians skill nor healing art,
Could vestige of hope, or life impart.
The destroyers hand could ne'er be stayed,
Though the hopes of nation were on him
laid
On the wings of the wind the cry is sped
TO the hearts of ALL he is dead he is dead
He is dead he is dead; that hero gray
Who has stemmed the tide of deadlicst fray
And the cannon faced with no thoughts of fear,
near
And must he now thus tamely yield,
Whose grave should have been the battle field
With the clarion's clang ringing DER his head
He is dead he is dead and again once more,
Must the white house with mourning be shroud-

And the sound will come like a lava tide

The White Lady of HohenzOllern.

A royal commission TO investigate a ghost
Such is the newest occurrence in the world
OF wonder. Yet the ghost IS an ancient one.
The White Lady, who is said to have been
seen in the Schloss of Berlin, is no upslart,
but has ever pertained to the family Of Ho-,
henzolern, and wax. when anything sperial
Is to happen TO that family. Her appear
anec was predicted not long since; and
strange to say, she takes her ominous walk
Just as King Frederic William receives the
shot of the assassin
The vulgar knocking ghosts of New York
have been exploded and people attempt to
account even for the silent White Lady.
Some say the figure has been used tor very
earthly purposes; and dramatist has even
introduced the shadowy parsonage into a
comedy. 1t is easy 10 imagine that other
purposes beside those of amatory intrigue
may be wrought by The ambulatory vision;
malignant conspiraiors, for example, cndoi-
sing tie attempt of saieloge, may think 10

1t was night of storms lnd darkness
Every ray from the luminarles above was
shut out from all the land by impenetra-
bic masses Of cloud aud vapor, that
brooded closely overhead aud everywhere
clung TO the horizon. In the obscure
region to which we are now come, not

Not human habitation stands within
the compass of many miles. Woods,
rocks and ravInes arc all around. The
rough and precipilous hill which a flash
of lightning now reveals just before us
beirays, half way up its dreary side, the
mouth of a wild aud frighllul cavern,
Jagged and irregular teeth grinning a.
boye with ghaslly smile.
A human figure approached the en-
trance of the cave. BY the light of the
blazing clouds, as sudden and as feet
ing, We behold the hardy figure drop IN
10 the mouth of the cavern, aud vanish
from the dark and tumulluous world
without. No torch to light him, he
bounds along the rough and ray ess pass
sage, until lie comes whittier not even
the red lightning can penetrate. The
rocks around him tremble and grate at
each convulsive peal of the thundor a-
bove aud still he hurries on. A dim
glimmer of Light at length appears in re-
mote depths of the darkness before him,
far down in the bowels of the earth. The
proud warrior changes not his mood
shows no CLEAN of gladness that the OBJ
ject of his search is at length pointed
out. With the same fearless step he
presses eagerly on, and the point Of light

As the prieslcss went on in this wild strain,
the warrior began already TO be overcome
with the superstitious awe common 10 his
race, and his manner was suddenly subdued
to a gentler tone.
"Neloya speaks true words" said he, "and

He must sacrifice. He has niece"
"Who loves the chief he hatcs-who lurk

Clara Woodville.
a STORY OF THE REGICIDEs IN
NEW ENGLAND.


Weeks passed, and Edward STANLEY
no longer able to avoid a work so unge-
NAL TO his heart went to the war. His
love for Clara had, IN the mean time.
become conscious, was declared, and
sincerely returned. Their parting was
ominous aud full of sadness. Ominous,
vet both, as they were able, stilled their
forebodings aud forced on their looks an
air of composure.
"There is hazard aud hardship in this
enterprise, said Edw ard " but shall
surely return-relurn more worthy Of
her who has deignol 10 accept the poor
offering Of my al c.Ion. Exertion and
peril, the tolls Of soldier and his stir
ring life, will do me much service |
shall return With stronger nerve and
with reader Will. will so shake OH
these moods of abstraction, and so put
on the prompt character which becomes
man of action, that my Clara shall no
longer know him whose heart is left
with her, when he comes again" And
with a forced smile, he took a hasty
leave and went on his appointed way.
She, too, attempted to smile. but the
heart of each was excessively sad. As
the door closed, and he was departed,
she said to herself, as she for a moment
gazed after him" No, we shall never
meet again as we have been Some>
thing dreadful is before us, we shall moi,
again be as we have ever been up to this
fatal moment Farewell, Edward.
And now again weeks passed on.
Deep and anxious was the suspense Of
Clara, for all these weeks were barren OF
lidings from him she loved. But tie
season of Autumn was not very far ad>
vanced, when her anxiety found another
and nearer object on which TO be di-
vided. Her kind mother lay on bed of
sickness, Just bending over the verge of
death She-all knew that her last
hours had come yet her soul was un-
usually collected, and the tranquil bright
ness Of hope linged the sunset clouds of
her life. For the first time IN many
years, Colonel Woodyile wept Floods
Of recollection in that dying hour Of his
wife rushed through his bosom, and
brought in with their waves the quick
thought and the sensibiliiy Of his youth.
"A few words" said Mrs. Woodville
in her last moments" A few words |
must speak TO my dear Clara alone
Come TO my bedside, my child, for
shall soon speak 40 more. Lay my
feeble arm, child, about your neck, and
bend your ear to meet my words, tina,
you stay not without my blessing. You
have been to me in all things, and at all
tlmes, daughter. Your own mother,
in the last hour of her life, commended
you to my care, and told me all of her
sad story that, for your sake. needed
