The Trail of the Woodcock.
]. NJ. II

Some years ago, an Italian singer, Of a
very gentlemanly and amiable character
named g., went over to England
to sing at the Opera. He never loved the
stage, and finding an opportunity of ell.
tering into soma mercantile speculation,
he quilted his original profession, dropped
the Italian termination of his name. and be-
came highly successful in his new pursuit.
His distinguished manners, and the re-
spectability of his character, obtained for
him an admission into the first circles of
London and the Duke aud Duchess of
R looked upon him with a particu-
lar regard and esteem, admitting him on
familiar terms to their domestic circle, as
well as to their more public parties. He
never could wholly master the English
language, however. One day dining a.
one with the duke and duchess, the duke
sent him some woodcock, but omitted to
send him any of the trail.
IL will beg your Grace for some of de
bowels" said Signor c..
"Oh, fe ! Mr.. c." said the Duchess
Il beg your pardon for correcting you, but
In England we call that the trail"
"Ithank your Grace thousand tines
was the reply. "I will not forgot--de
TRAIL shall remember de trail. How do
you spell it?"
The spelling was explained to him and
the matter passed over. About month
after, large dinner party was given by
the duke of R, and Signor C
was invited but did not appear at the hour
appointed. After waiting few moments
the company sat down to dinner, and the
soup was hardly eaten, when one of the
servants brought in note to the Duke,
who ON opening it appeared convulsed
with laughter. The duchess insisted that
the whole party should share in the fun,
whatever it was, and after some hesita-
ton, his Grace read as follows:
My Lord Duke--I am profoundly
grieved that l cannot have the felicity of
attending upon your Grace this evening,
and have waited till the last moment, in
hopes that 1 should be better. I find,
however, that it would be in vain to at
tempt it, as / am afflicted with excrucia-
ing pains in my trail, and can only sign
myself with very great respect, your
Grace's faithful servant. c.

Cheerfulness. 4..s

y, HOW we love cheerful san-shiney
face. 1t is perfectly refreshing to meet a
cheerful man with his face covered all
over with broad honest smile. Such a
face is always an index to an honest, gen.
erous and kind heart, within. The very
atmosphere in which such a man moves.
breathes cheerfulness, and all about him
arc happier for his presence. He looks
on the bright side of the picture, hopes all
will be for the best, and rises above mis-
fortune not suffering small and trifling
difficulties to harrass and disturb his mind
To the dropping moping invalid, the COM
panionship of such man is worth more
than all the drugs in Christendom, or even
a voyage over the waters" Cheerfulness
is the secret of good health. The old say
ing of"langh and grow fat" is full of
philosophy. The cheerful man don't COM
plain and growl because the weather is
100 hot or too cold, two wet or too dry {;
but thinks it will all soon be right again.
He laughs because he is cold, or because
ne is almost melting with heat. If the
market is dull, he is glad that he has sold
his produce before the price fell or if he
has not soil, he thinks there will be q
change in the markct-the price VII be
better before he sells. And should it hap
pen that he has to take low price at last
he laughs at himself for being bit, for it is
.'as well to laugh as cry" Such man is
generally honest, and always generous
lie laughs at his own disappointments ris-
es above tritiing difficulties his mind is
not forever employed in lamenting his own
troubles, and consequently he has time to
consider the necessities and sufferings of
others-a soul capacious enough to SYM
pathise with those in distress, and hand
liberal enough to supply their wants. 1t
is true, man may "smile and be vii
lain still )" but it is easy to distinguish
between the sordonic grin and the open,
generous and merry laugh Of the truly
cheerful man.

TIL think Of thee, when morn's bright hour,
Spreads golden radience DER the lea;
And far or near, still own the power,
That binds my constant heart to thee.
And should roam mid other scenes,
In foreign lands far-far from thee,
I'll nurse thine immage in my dreams,
And think Of thec-of none but thee.
I'll think of thee when dewy eve,
Spreads out the robes of sable night;
And when the ewes sweet silver queen,
Sheds forth her pale and lovely light.
And when the stIrs come one by one,
To light up Heavens fair waveless sea,
And spread their holy radience round,
I'll think of thee-Tll think of thee.
IL think OF thee-though fortune frown,
And shroud the star of hope in gloom,
Though sorrows storm-clouds gather round,
To mar and rob me Of youths bloom.
Or should the fates more lenient prove,
And bid my longing heart beat free,
To thee I'll sing my songs of love,
And think of thee-of none but thee.
I'll think of thee, when youth has fled,
And all lifes dreams have passed away;
When Youths fair garlands all are dead, I.
And Fancy's fairest wreaths decay.
When on thy fair and youthful brow,
Stern Time has set his fadeless seal,
I'll love thee ever then as now,
And think of thee-forever thee.

the Sugar House Cure.

DIR. Cartwright of New Orleans, COM
municated to recent number of the
Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, an
article Of considerable interest to invalids,
which is entitled "The Sngar House Cure
for Bronchi'l, Dyspeptic, and Consumtive
Complaints" 1t is stated that residence
in a sugar house, during the rolling season,
farsurpasses any other known means of
restoring flesh, strength and health, lost
by chronic ailments of the chest, throat,
or stomach. The rolling season is the
harvest, when the canes are cut, the juice
expressed, and converted into sugar. In
Louisiana it commences about the middle
Of October and ends at Christmas, but is
sometimes protracted into January DR..
Cartwright says: ...
Last December, having very severe and
distressing cough, which, for some weeks,
had resisted the usual remedies. l went
into sugar house, drank glass Of hot
cane juice, and stood over the kettles. call
ed CHARTERS, for some hours, inhaling the
vapor arising thercfrom. The vapor wa
agreeable and soothing to the lungs. The
fragrant, saccharine aura seemed to pene-
trate into the inmost recesses of tho oh.
structed lobules, opening its way in the
intercellublar passages and air-cels, with
out exciting cough, but removing the
distinctions, the cause of the cough.
| stood over the CHARTERS, enveloped.
for five hours, in dense cloud Of vapor Of
an agreeable temperature and an aromatic
odor; after which retired to rest and had
a refreshing sleep. In the morning the
inhalation ofthe vapor was again resumed,
when returned home, through cold,
raw, windy atmosphere, some ten miles,
TO the city, almost well, without experien-
cing any inconvenience from the exposure
to the cold; the cough and disagreeable
sensation Of chillness, smothering, and
febrile irritation, having disappeared al
most entirely. ....a a.r
A tenuous vopor, Of an agreeable, aro
matte odor hovers constantly over the
heated juice of the CHARTERS. 1t is demul
cent saccharine, and grateful to the res
Piratory organs; causing no oppression or
feeling of constructor, as other vapors and
smokes so often do, but the lungs seem
to expand and drink'it in with avidity, as
the roots Of plants require the moisture Of
the earth, impregnated with azotized
bodies after shower. What humus is
to vegetable substances, the elements con-
tanned in this vapor would seem to be to
man. ..r

The New Volume of this unriyaled md
popular Monthly commenced with the Janu-

rank among its ravals, and is now universally
conceded TO be
THE BEST AMERICAN MAGAZINE.

In the department of Art Graham's Mag
azine has always been celebrated. The
excellence and beauty Of its pictorial appoint
ments far surpass the usual adornments OF
the Monthly Magazines The very finest
and most expensive efforts of the first artists
Of Europe and America grace the work.
Every variety of subject and of STYLE is
found in perfection in Graham No

the same number of any current periodical
to test the vast superiority of Graham's
Magazine in this respect
The new volume opens in style of e,e-
gance that must convince our friends that
"EXcELsIoR" is our motto for 1852, and that
