l.l UNPREcEDENrED. OCEAN STAINING
The steamship Pacific, Capt. Nye, Col
Inns line, has made twenty-five passage.
across the Atlantic.
Longest, IL days 8 hours.
Shortest, 9 days l9 hours and "a min
utes.
The latter is, no doubt, the shortest
passage, mean or true time, ever made.
The average of all her passages is under
eleven days.
The steamers of the Collins line have
done better this winter than ever before
Their passages lately have been aston
ishing. Crossing the Atlantic to the
westward in the middle of the winter in
less than eleven days is wonderful. The
company, however, find it losing bus
inesss. Their expenses are enormous,
and the income from the government and
passengers too small to prevent serious
loss. Ii the government does not come
forward and give this line substantial aid,
IT will be abandoned.-.N. Y. Herald.

GRAEFENBERG CHILDREN'S PANACEA.

Ia
most strange and incredible fact meets us at
the very threshold of our remarks on this valuable
medicine. Ii is this: that no medicine prepared
adapted TO the various diseases of children and
youth has ever been offered to the public, while at
the same time it is estab Iishcd by the most accu-
rate tables of mortality thai If Of the human
family die before reaching the age eff five Yeas.
We should suppose that to this great class of hui
man snfferers-ihiS Cne-half of the race-the most
anxious and earnest attention would have been
gwen; that medical skill would hav c been tasked
TO its utmost capacity to find out med icine TO
which mothers and nurses might resort uBAer tho
constantly recurring necessities which present
themselves in this connection. The world is lit
orally crowded with MI dicincs for adults, but 10
the sut1erings Of children no one has seemed te
turn proper attention. No one has REGARDED thei,
condition, No one has seemed TO think it possible
that the ravages of disease and dea III among them
might be stayed. 1t is true that there are numer-
Gus Vcrmiugcs and Coriials Of some value. but
each OF these are confined exclusively to one or
two forms of disease. The Graeienbcrg Children's
Panacea is the only medicine cxtant to ether
hemisphere that is at all worthy of teins ca lied
Children's Medicine; or that supplies the great
want alluded to.

PROSPECTUS.
OF THE
THIRTY-NINTH VOLUME
GREA T REDUCTION IN PRICE
THE
Knickerb0cker Magazine,

|
EDITED BY LOUIS GAYLORD CLARK,
will commence its THIRTY NINTH volume
with the number for January, 1852.
The subscription price of the KNIcKER.
! BOOKER will be reduced from five dollars,
10 THREE DOLLARS, on and after the first
day of January next.
The change is made for reason precise
| ly the reverse Of that which ordinarily in
duces publisher to lower the rates of his
Magazine. This is usually done because
the publication cannot be sustained at its
original rate, which is consequently reduced
with the hope of extending its circulation.
This is followed invariably by deteriora
ton of the work, in all its departments,
and in everything relating to it. Indeed
itmay be laid down as rule, in the con-
Quoting of a Magazine, that if the original
price will not remunerate for its publica-
ton, it is only going from bad to worse to
to reduce that price.
The Knickerboeker at the present time
enjoys a larger subscription list, and pays
better, than it ever did before; and of the
twenty years of its existence, the past year
has been the most prosperous.
The Publisher is now in a situation, in
consequence of the condition of the Mag
azlne, to offer it at THREE DOLLARS per
annum.
With this reduction there will be no
change in its form, size, character or quail
lty, except a chsnge always confirmed for
THE DETER; for it will improve on the past
maintaining the position SO long awa.ded
it.
TERMS: THREE DOLLARS a year,
strictly in advance; there will be no de-
Walton from this condition.
10 Clubs of Ten, $3.50 each.
Booksellers and Postmasters are reques-
ted 10 act as agents. Those who will un-
dertake to procure subscribers will receive
favorable terms. Specimen numbers will
be sent gratis on application postpaid.
All remittances and all business commu-
nlcations must be addressed to Samuel

ERAs IN wOMAN's LIFE.
ngges ted by the Death of H. L. Tilden, Esq
BY FLoRILLA FLEETWOOD.
She plighted her young heart to him
In grlhood's sunny hours,
When Hope was bright and joyous
LIES pathway gemmed with flowers.
Love lighted up her spirit,
She bowed before It's shrine,
And gave the heart an offering
In youths glad summer time.
She stood before the altar
The love-light in her eye
On the arm hence to protect her,
She leaned confidingly.
She stood beside the altar
A happy blushing BRIDE
And he who pledged protection
Viewed her with manly pride.
She moveth 'mid her household
with all a mothers joy,
The sun Of home was Frightened
As they blest their girl and boy;-
Rich jewels lent by Heaven
To make life's pathway bright
The deep'ning Of Loves fountain
Their star-their hope-delight.
She sat beside the Death-bed-
"My God and must he go!
WE MUST NoT-O, WE CANNOT PART!
He LOVED, HE LOVED ME So"
The death-mold CATERING in his eye,
The death-dew on his lip,
The eye spake what the lip could not,
As theirs in kisses met.
She nerved her for the conflict
He might not longer stay
ssCome gently, Death, o gently,
To bear my love away!''
welded Love, how sacred
How pure thing thou art =
To calm Deaths angry pillows,
And triumph DER the heart.
She sat beside the coffin
A crape-clad widow then,
And prayed them in her anguish
go take me not from him.'
Stout hearts were moved to pity
Men wept, unused to weep,
As from that last embrace she left
Him in Deaths icy sleep.
She stood beside the open grave,
The sun shone bright and fair,
A sable pail was on her heart
She left him sleeping there.
o God, the Widows anguish!
God, the orphans tears!
o heal their severed heart-strinSs
And dry their bitter tears!
Earth's fondest hopes are blasted
'Ts ever thus below
No heart untaught by sorrow
Through earth's dark vale may 60.
And sad indeed's the widows lot,
To tread life's path alone,
No more kindred heart to beat
In answer to her own.
But there's 'sbalm in Gilead''
For every bleeding heart,
Which will sustain the spirit,
Tho earth's last friend depart.
"fll be the widows God,'' says He,
''The orphans tenderest friend;
PHI lead their guileless footsteps
Till griefs and sorrows end''

THE GRAEFFENBERG CONSUPTIvE BALM.

1t is beyond all question true that the COnsump-
ION (phlhsic pulmonalis) is A Durable DISEASE.
Some scf the ablest medical writers assert this
among who.,n we may cite the celebrated names of
Lanec, Andral, Cruvlllier, Stokes and Williams.
Their researches, well as the more recent ones
of Royce and Boudet, show that so Ear from pull
monary tubercle being necessarily fatal it is
spontaneously cured by nature IN a vas. number Ct
cases, even when large nlcers have been farced on
the lungs.
Thd GREAT oDJRcT, is TO arreat the progress of
the ulcers Tor 'ubercles) upon the lungs, and to
heal them permanently. Health will then follow,
This the Graefenberg COnsumptive's Balm Wilde,
and it is believed TO be the only remedy ever dis
covIed. 1t acts at once upon the tubercles and
invariably arrests their progress, and restores the
lungs to soundhess. 1t will not of course replace
those portions of the lungs alrer y consumed, but
it will heal what may be left; leaving the indi-
vdual in health, though it may be with diminished
lungs.

awful occurrence at the island off Sicily.
which had been swept by two enormous
waterspouts, accompanied by a terrible
hurricane. Those who witnessed the
phenomena, described the waterspouts as
two immense spherical bodies Of water
reaching from the clouds, their cones
nearly touching the earth, and, as far as
could be judged, at quarter Of mile
apart, travelling with immense velocity.
They passed over the island near Mar
sala. In their progress, houses were un-
rooted, men, women, and children, horses
and cattle were raised up in the vortex,
and hurried to destruction. During their
passage, rain descended in cataracts, ac-
companied with hailstones of enormous
size, and masses of ice. Going over
Castellamarre, near Stabir, it DESTROYED
half the town, and washed 200 of the in
habitants into the sea, all of whom perish
ed. Upwards of 500 peesons have been
destroyed by this terrible visitation, and
an immense amount of property.
