Remedy for Fits.

Humphrey has happy singularity in the
presentation Of moral lessons, and one which
often produces more permanent effect by its
quaintness than long lecture. Here is some
thing from him too good to be lost.
Though no doctor, have by me some ex-
cellent prescriptions; and as / shall charge you
nothing for them. you cannot grumbe at the
price. We are most OF us subject to fits; am
visited with them myself, sLd dare say you
ale also; and now then for my prescription.
FoR A FIT OF PAssIoN.-WaIk out in the
open air. you may speak your mind to the
winds without hurting any one.
FoR A FIT OF IDJENEss. s.-Count the tick
iugs ofa clock. Do this for one hour, and
you will be glad to pull of your coat the next
and work like slave.
FoR A FIT OF AMBITION. 10 the church
yard and read the grave stones they will tell
YOU the cod OF ambition. The grave will
soon be your bed chamber, and the earth
your pillow.
FoRA FIT OF REPIYINe.-Look about you
for the halt and blind; visit the afflicted and
dersnged, and they will make you ashamed Of
complaining Of your lighter Affections.
FoR FIT OF DEsPoSDENcY.-Look on
the good things which God has given you in
this world and Al those which He has promised
to his followers iu the next. He who goes in-
to the garden to look for cobwebs and spiders.
no doubt will fod them, while he who looks
for flower may return into his house with
one blooming iu his bosom.

He then brought out his horse with those

The following letter from an American ia
London furnishes additional and interesting
facts in relation TO Phillips "Fre Annihilator.
Which, if il is whaLH processes to be. is un-
doubtedy most useful aud wonderful discov-
cry:
LONDON, Friday, July 25, 1851.
The most extraordinary thing that have
witnessed since left America, is Phelps Fire
Annihilator Passing up Cheapsde few
days since. saw stream Of flame pouring
out Of the three. story windows ofa Wholesale
Cloth Establishment, and the building and con-
tents seemed doomed to immediate destruc-
ton. l was within few rods the house.
and as approached the door. man rushed in
with Portable Fire Annihilator in his hand.
IL was not larger than a common water-bueket
and weighing some 90 pounds. He ran into
the third story, and within less time than it
has taken me TO write these few lines. every
vestge Of flames had been 'annihilated'' by the
vapor ~hicE issued from the miraculous little
machine. For minute or two afterwards, the
vapor was seen issuing from the window, then
all was over. The fire was extugnishcd!
was so much asonished at the marvellous re-
suits of which was an eye-w itness, that has
tened to discover and visit the inventor OF this
Fire Annihilator. At his establishment l ex-
amined the machine, and tried several expert
ments, each Of which satisfied me that this s
beyond all question the most valuable discoy-
cry Of the age.
The vapor contained in this little machine
acts upon flames exactly as the damp 10 we'll
acts upon lighted candle. Flame cannot ex-
ist an instant IN the vapor. The vapor rushes
from the little machine with as much force as
steam flies from the escape pipe Of a steam-en-
gne, and flame falls before IL as quick as the
lghtning's fash. The effects are inconceiv-
able. and The triumph over fire is marvellous be
yond conception. A great and valuable addi-
ton to the utility 70 this invention is that this
vapor can be breathed without injury. The
consequence is, man with one OF these little
machines may protect himself with the vspor
and enter into the midst Of the fercest flames
with perfect impuni'y. They fall before him
in an instant!
Depend upon u, that scarcely house In
America will be without one or more Of these
machines within year, and you will see that
fire insurance officers and fire engine companies
will be numbered among the things that were.
The smoun, Of property and human life Of
toi I aud trouble. that this little miracle will
save, is beyond computation. Truly yours,

'Tis Well TO have a Merry Heart.

IT'S well to have merry heart
However short we stay;
There's wisdom in merry heart,
Whate'er the world may say,
Philosophy may lift its head,
Ana find out many flaw,
But give me that philosophy
That's happy with strawl
II life but brings US happiness,
IL brings us we are told,
What's hard to buy, though rich ones try
With all their heaps of geld!
Then laugh away-let others say
Whate'er they will Of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly say
He's got the wealth of earth.
There's beauty in merry laugh
A moral beauty, too
Ii shows the heart an honest heart
That's peid each man his due.
And lent share Of what's 20 spare,
Despite of wisdom's fears,
And make the cheek less sorrows spesk,
The eye weep fewer tears.

HUMAN NATURE.--B ad as may be the ma
ture Of man, still the honor for noble deeds,
the respect for virtue. the adherence for that
which is gnoble or base, will ever influence
bodies Of men when acting on first impulse
When the traitor has performed his part
when the end is gained for which he has been
employed those whom he has most benefited
will cast him from them. and the very man
who had lured him to the deed, will spurn him
as # his touch were contagious or as If his very
presence breathed intamy.

~ In the legislature of Georgia, the house
have laid upon the table the resolution of the
Senate, to go into an election of United States
Senator on the next day. The Georgian hopes
that it may be permitted to lie there to the end
of the session; for as yet |" there is no vacancy
in our senatorial representation. Judge Berriens
term of Office will not expire until March Sd,
1853 His successor will almost certainly not
be called to enter upon the discharge of the du-
ties of the post, until the first Monday of De-
cember, 1853. The next Legislature of Georgia
will convene a month before the commencement
of the session of Congress, at which Judge
Berrien's successor will take his seat leaving
ample time for his election, and bis arrival at
Washington, after the meeting of the legislature
of the State. This being the case, the duty Of
supplying the vacancy, which will occur when
Judge Berren's term of Office expires, should
clearly devove, not upon the present Legislature,
but upon that to be elected year after next BY
bringing on the election now, the Legislature will
place in office gentleman whose term will not
expire until eight years after he is chosen. Is
not this too long time to take most of our
public men on trustw
