THE Hydromagen is valuable discovery
for protecting the feet from damp or cold,
and therefore preventative Of many Lung
diseases, ,oithom amy doctoring ,oAaterer.e
The Hydromagen Is in the form of n sole,
and worn inside the boot or shoe. Its n,e,li-
Gated character Is n powerful antidote to
disease.
For Gentlemen il will be found agrsca-
bic, warm, and healthy, to wear in the cold
est or rainiest weather, as the foot cannot
become wet il the Hydromagen il inserted.
Ladies' may wear the lightest sole.l boots or
shoes in the most inclement weather with
impuniiy while Consumption, so prevalent
among the young of our country, may be
thwarted by their general adoption; They
entirely suprcede Orer- shoes, rs the latter
cause the feet TO prrspire in very unheal-
thy manner; and, hesides. are not danger
Gus wear to pedestrians in icy weather, like
| india rubbcrs' While the latter cause the
feet TO appear extremely large, the Hydro
magen, being mere thin slice Of cork pre-
pared, peculiarly placed inside, does not in
crease the size of the boot, or cause the
foot to apper untidy. TO Children they
are extremely valuable, as they may engage
in exercises with comfort and healthy effects.
Their cxpe lse is so slight as to scarce need
mention besides, those who patrOnizr them
will lind their yearly doctors bills much di-
unfinished thereby.
As the Hydromagcn is becoming more
known, its sale is increasing to an :.lmost
incredible extemt Last year in London,
Manchester, birmingham, Liverpool, Glas-
gov, Leeds, Dublin, Paris, Antwerp Hau-
burgh, and Berlin, our sales reached ,732, :

o, come to my grave, by moonlight,
When the stars their vigils keep
When the day is deepening into night,
And the busy world is asleep.
When thou art sad and alone, Cora;
When darkness gathers around thee,
Then come to my grave by moonlight,
And thou shalt comforted be.
The stars will look calmly down, Cora;
viii look calmly down upon thee:
And when you meet their holy eyes,
Dear Cora, you will think of me.
You will deem that starry host, Cora,
That bespangles the arch above,
Are my eyes beaming kindly on thee,
With tender and holy love.
You will hear my voice in the wind, Cora,
AS it goes moaning above my head;
And its gentle tones will cheer thy heart,
AS you weep by the early dead;
And the evening zephyr will fan thy cheek,
And kiss away thy tear;
1t will cheer thy lonely heart, Cora,
To think that am near.
Then come when thou art sad, Cora,
When darkness gathers DER thee;
o. come to my grave by moonlight,
And you will comforted be.

Young man, one word in your ear. You are
starting upon the great journey of life. Don't
stand there holding your horses, waiting for the
crowd to 60 by. If you do you will wait un-
til the of life shall set upon your gray hairs.
and your days be forever past. No. What if
the crowd is big; mix in and take your position
along with the rest. If the sluggards do not
90 fast enough, drive around them. You will
make by it. Distance all you can; be exceed
by none, and you will surely come out ahead
You may break wheel occasionally, but not
oftener than others would break it in driving
past you. The world will move on some fast
and some slower; yet they do all move, and
what folly for you to wait until others have out
sped you and carried away the choice fruit of the
season. Remember that, oh Young America.

A WARRANT MARRIAGE CERTIFIcATE.--The
Ellenville Journal gives the following account
of marriage in Denning and the attending cir
cumstances. II is proverb that Love laughs
at locksmiths," it may be said that Love over
comes all opposition:
Married-In Denning, Oct 9th, by Jacob Os-
terhoudi, Esq, Mr.. Nathan Hinckley to Miss Ma
ry f. Donaldson, of Neversnk, Sullivan Coun-
ty.
There were some peculiar circumstances at
tending the above marriage which do not usual
y accompany ceremonies Of this kind. The ia
ther of Miss Donaldson was opposed to this
match. The parties were to have been married
OH the Goth. Mr.. Ii. started for the residence
of his betrothed, some nine miles, but before ar
irving there was met by young man with gun
who told him he could not 60 to the house.
There was notice on the gateway, or bars
leading to the house, reading No Admittance." !"
The young man with the gun asked Hinckley if
ho had read it. Hinckley replied that he had,
whereupon he was informed that he had better
give heed TO it, and some demonstrations were
made indicating that there might be some shoot
ing going on if he did not. Deeming prudence
the better part of valor, young Hinckley beat a
retreat, and forthwith took counsel how he
might accomplish by stratagem what he did not
like to undertake to bring about by force. tie
finally hit upon the following expedient. He
remembered that Miss Donaldson had in her
possession ring that belonged to him, so what
does he but get warrant for her, send the con-
stable and bring her before Squire Osterhoudt,
on charge of getting goods under false pre-
tences. This was exactly what he did. When
the constable went to the house where Miss ID.
was, her father was at work some distance from
the house, and of course knew nothing of what
was going on till the constable, with his fair prs
oner, was wei! on his way. After the officer
and prisoner arrived at Squire Osterhoudt's, it
did not take long for Hinckley to withdraw the
complaint and pay costs, after which the arrange
ments of which notice is given above, took place
instantly.
