New Cure for Consumption,

We find the following statements in the Mo-
bile Herald and Tribune; and if substantlated,
the discovery will be invaluable, The quantity
of the medicine to be given at a dose Is not sta
ted:
In the first number of the N. Orleans Monthly
Medical Register, which we noticed few days
ago, we find an article by Professor Stone, on
the virtues of Phosphate Of Lime in Scrofula
and other depraved states of the system" (which
is of some moment. 1t was suggested by an
essay in the London Lancet on the "physiOlogy
and pathology of the oxolate and phosphate of
lime, aud their relation to the formation of cells"
"The conclusions of the author (says Profess
sor Stone) are based upon careful chemical re-
search, and results from the use of the remedy.
His researches show that in man, as well as in
vegetables and in inferior animals, phosphate OF
lime, as we'll as Ealbumen and fat is absolutely
essential for the formation of cells, and he con-
sders that many of the pathological states of the
system depended upon deficiency OF this salt
The affections in which it is advised are ulcer
ations dependent upon general dyscrasla, and
not mere local affecton-infantile atrophy IN
those suffering from rlckets and consequent d.
auhea and tuberculous diseases, particularly OF
the lungs in the early stages"
Struck by this article, Professor Stone tested
| it, and he thus describes three cases in which
its virtues were obvious. The first was that oil
slave, who was admitted to the Professors In
Urinary in July, with disease of the nose, the
whole system showing great progress IN scrolu'
ous decay The usual remedies were unsuc'
cessfully applied until August when cod liver
oil was used, but the disorganizaton OF the
stomach was increased by it The phosphate oil
lime was then applied-oght grains, three times
day. Its good effects were soon apparent
1t and the oil were therefore administered to-
gether, and the patient soon was restored to
health.
The second case is that of young lady, aged
twenty-four. Her disease was one of unmlx
ed phthisis, when might have been expected tc
terminate in the course of a few months fatally
The upper parts of both her lungs were flIec
with tubercles, and in some places were begin

The Sword and the Press.

The following beautiful extract, illustrating
in powerful manner the advantages of printing
to mankind, is from an essay by Thomas Carl
isle, in the British ReUieV, published nearly
twenty years ago, when that somewhat noted
writer clothed his ideas in plain English, and
his works could be read without the aid of
Glosssary, and understood without an insight

A Presentiment.

unfortunate accident upon the Passumpsic Rail-
road, for week or two before it occurred seem.
ed impressed with the idea of some impending
evil He mentioned his impressions to his friends
appeared downcast, and did not wish to run
an engine any more. IndeeSI heghad gone so
far as to say that after tina! week b. should leave
the place he occupied on the Road. He was
ready to do any thing else but act as engineer.
In passing up few days previous to that on
which the accident took place, before it was full
day light, he whistled for the train to brake up'
insisting that the fireman should 60 forward and
examine the track, for he plainly saw the figure
of man moving along. He also stopped at
another, and about the same time, believing
there was man on the track. 1t turned out in
both cases to be an.illusion. If Mr. B. had been
a timid and nervous man, these impressions
would readily be accounted for, perhaps; but he
was Just the contrary-cheerful, cool, deliber-
ate and fearless far even, as to be remarka-
BILE for these qualities. His Impressions, viewed
in connection with his well-known character
and melancholy end, are certainly mysterious,
and we do not know how they are to be accoun.

Hungarian Feeling.

Through all the Hungarian society," he says,
there is even in this time of national depres-
sion, a kind of erGggeraton, may call it, or vi
olent expression of feeling, to which it takes
some time for stranger to accustom himself.
There is nothing at all like it in European or
American society. A NATURAL passionate elo-
Quence, and kind of Outre mode of expressing
their feelings, which would be altogether out of
place and affected with US, but which does not
seem at all singular after little while among
them. have been in most sensible and cul-
tivated family, where all the ladies were dress
ed in black for their county, and where they
wore small iron bracelets-almost as heavy as
handcuffs-on their wrists, in memory of the
solitary prisoners of Arad and Temeswar.
| have seen too, often, in Hungary, bits of the
J,ooms with which I1aynau was beaten, brought
over by some one, put up in handsome gold set
tngs, and worn as pins by the ladies' And
there is scarcely family in the country without
the lulo bracelets worked by the Hungarian
prisoners, and marked with the first letters of
the names of the Generals who were executed

Meath care, and sadness and crushing wrong,

And look with me in o coming years
Let thy faith be strong aud thine eye be bright,
To pierce the shades of surrounding night
And through the mists of the future
There are happier days in store for thee
For the bright bird, Love, has built its nest
In thy lonely and sorrow haunted breast,
And he sings gentle and happy strain,
To cheer thy sadness, and sOothe thy pain
"Though grief O'ertake thee and false friends flee,
One fond heart still will be true to thee !"

For the coming of promised happiness.

From my tear.dimmed eyes and my aching heart
And thank Our Father in heaven above,

ted from pure gratitude of spirit at beng relIev-
The season had been intensely severe, the
provisions of the colonists were exhausted, and
the expected vessels from England did not ar
rive. In such dreadful dilemma the souls of
common men would have been discouraged, and
sunk in the apathy of despair; but our pilgrim
fathers never despaired. Their faith was an
chored on the Rock which could not be shaken.
To meet the exigence Of famine, they appoint
ed Fast 1t certainly was very good reason
for holding fast, that they had nothing to eat !;
yet, who but puritan would have thought Of
this expedlent for exciting the faith and keeping
alive the hope of the people? We have often
thought in no other single circumstance of their
history was this unconquerable spirit of our an
:estors, and their lndomitable love OF liberty
more srikingly shown. They would not be en-
'laved by their appetites; if they starved, it
should be by their own voluntary appointment.
Well, the morning arrived-the fasting had
already began, when, O, sound of joy! "The
vessel the vessel has come' The grave fa-
Tiers instantly yielded to the popular feeling,
and changed their day Of Fasting to Thanks
giving!
Such was the origin of custom ever since
held sacred by the descendants of those Pill
grims.
Compare that day of jubilee with the annua
Thanksgivings at the present day. Then the
Door, alf-famsbed coloniss we're but handful
of men, exiIes, prosecuted, despised, or wholly
unknown, and uncared for in what was termed
the World"
But we will not attempt to enumerate the ex
seeding number of national advantages and po
ltcal rogatives-blessngs we enjoy, over ev'
cry other people in that Il" "World." Blessed be
the memory Of those good men, who, firmly trust
ing in God laid here the foundations of civil ant
religious liberty on basis which has never yeI
been shaken--which, while we hold our annua
Thanksgiving festival, never can be subverted.-
