THE MODERN BELLE,
Extract from Mr.. Sark's Poem read at the late Man


sFact from Mr.. Stark Poem, read at the late Man
chester, N. H., Fair,
The daughter sits in the parlour,
And rocks in her easy chair
Shes clad in her silks and satins,
And Jewels are in her hair
She wnks and giagles and shippers
And slmpers aud gggles and winks,
And though she talks but little,
lis vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in his russell.
And ragged and seedy OF that
His coats are all out at the elbow,
lie wears shocking bad hat;
He's boarding and saving his shllings,
So carefully day by day,
While she, on her beaux and poodles,
ls throwing them all away.
She lies a-bed in the morning, x
Till nearly the hour Of noon,
Then comes down swapping and snarling,
Because she was called so soon;
Her hair is still in the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbed with paint,
Remains OF her last nights bushes,
Before she intended to faint.
She doats upon men unshaven,
And men with 'the flowing HAIR"
She's eloquent over moustaches,
They give ouch foreign air.
She talks of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon,
And tho but a mouse should meet her,
She sinks away in swoon.
Her feet are 80 very little,
Her hands are SO very white,
Her Jewels are 30 very heavy,
And her head 80 very light
Her color is made of cosmetics,
Though this she never will own,
Her body's made mostly of cotton,
He. heart is made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with fellow,
Who swells with foreign air,
He marries her for her money,
She narries him for his hair;
One OF the very best matches
Both are well ma ted in life,
She's got tool for her sband,
He's got fool Tor his wife.

WONDER OF WONDERS!
PETROLEUM. OR ROCK OIL.
"I'here are more things in hedcen and edTfh,
Than are drenznf of IN alhiLosophH."

ssThere are more things in hearen and earth,
Than are dreamt Of an ohilosophy"
The virtues of this remarkable remedy, and
the constant application for it, to the proprietor,
has induced him to have it put up in bottles
with labels and directions, for he benefit Of the
public.
The Petroleum or Rock Oil is procured from
well in Allegheny county, at a depth OF four
hundred feet, is pure unadulterated article,
without any chemical change, but just as 1t flows
from Natures Great Laboratory! That 1t con-
tains properties capable of reaching number
of diseases, is no longer q matter of uncertainty
There are many things in the arena of nature,
which, if known, might be of vast usefulness in
alleviating suffering and restoring the bloom OF
health and yigor to many a sufferer. Long be-
fore the proprietor thought of putting 1t up In
bottles, it had a reputation for the cure OF DIS
ease. The constantly and daily increasing calls
for it, and several remarkable cures it has per
formed, is sure indication of its future popu-
larity and wide spread application In the cure
of disease.
We do not wish to make long parade of GER
tifcates, as we conscious that the medicine
can soon work its way into the favor of those
who suffer and wish to be healed. Whilst We do
not claim for it universal application in every
disease, we unhesitatingly say, that in a number
of Chronic Diseases it is unrivalled. Among
these may be enumerated-an diseases of the
mucous tissues, such as Chronic Bronchitis, Con-
SuHtpttOH It's SlaSe,J <tStnllti, anu dlI
diseases of the air passages, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Diarrhoa, Diseases of the Bladder
and Kidneys, Pains in the Back or Side, Ner-
vous Diseases, Neuralgia, Palsy, Rheumatic
Pains, Gout, Erysipelas, letter, Ringworms,
Burns, Scalds, Bruises, Old Sores &C., &c. In
cases of debility resulting from exposure, or
long and protracted cases of disease, this medi-
cine will bring relief. 1t will act as a general
Tonic and AHerdtiUe in such cases, imparting
tone and energy to the whole frame, removing
distractions, opening the sluggish functions,
which cause disease and a broken constitution,
and giving increased and renewed energy to all
the organs of Life The proprietor knows of
several cures of Piles that resisted every other
treatment, get well under the use of the Petro-
leuns or Rock oil, for short time. The proof
can be given to any person who desires it

General KOsSutIl,

General Kossuth has written long and elo-
quent letter addressed to the Charge dAffaires
of the United States at Constantinople in which
he speaks in very sad terms of his present situa-
ton, of the treacherous and cruel manner in
which Turkey has dealt towards him, and of
the desperate chances of his liberation. In re-
ferring to the intervention of our Government
in his behalf and of the policy directing its
conduct towards foreign states, he utters this
pregnant passage:
l must frankly tell you that have anticipa-
ted the failure of your negotiation. The Tur-
kish Government yields but to feas or protection,
and it must be fully aware that whatever may
be the power Of the United States, Turkey has
nothing to fear and no protection to hope from
them; nothing, because your Government, your
legislative bodies, all your organs of publicity,
are very anxious to proclaim, over once again
and again, that non intervention in European
matters is the first fundamental principle of the
political system of the United States. To be
sure, wise were the men who established this
principle, and wise were the men who followed
it. 1t was a necessary one for the foundation
rs well as for the growth of the United States.
WOulu III De convenient to ME to lnyeS-
tigate whether the dress which is so well suited
to protect the childhood and to develope the
youth will still prove suitable when the much
promising youth had become full grown man
nay, mighty giant, as your country is
Time is going on, and every hour may bring its
own convenience as it brings its own necessity
May be that even your glorious country may
soon be called to feel that every position has its
necessity, has its conditions-has l would al
most say, its unavoidable fatality the more,
the greater, the mightier that position is
"God acts, not by special will, but by general
laws" said an English philosopher. May be
that even your country will very soon be called
that it is determined (as surely it is) to uphold
nay; still to heighten the glorious position it
already holds; it will scarcely be possible.
should it even be convenient not to put weight
into the balance, where the destinies of the old
world and its civilization are to be weighed. it
will scarcely be possible not to give anything
moro to sufferings of nations than the noble SEN
timents of sympathy of the struggling, the COM
miseration to the fallen, an asylum to the per-
secuted, or at the most generous offer, but
which even Turkish Minister may dare to de-
cline.
