DR SHAW ONlCONsIIMpTION


There is perhaps no disease, with which our
country is affected, which sweeps of annually SO
many victims, as that fell destroyer OF the hu-
man race, Consumption. What vast amount
oi suffering might be saved the human fami, il
they would but avail themselves in season ol the
renudies which nature has provided for her
children, aud which science has reduced To such
form as to he within the reach Of all. Fm DO
II from us TO timpcr with those who are suffer-
Ing with this painful disease. In offering you IA
remedy, we do not ask you to rely upon the rep
resentation oi those who night be actuated by
selfish and pecuniary motives but we give you
the deliberate testimony Of some Ofthe most res

Wild Cherry, has established for itself II reputa-
ton that cannot he assailed. DR.. VIM. A.

The CssoN.-We learn from the
New York Tribune, that this ship lies
easily on a soft bottom, near to tho dock
Of tho Cunard steamers, in Jersey City.
She stands perfectly upright, her two
tall masts, with yards across. A, high
tide the wheel-house deck 10 about two
feet out Of water, and the saloon deck
and her bow-rall Just on a level with
il. When the tide is out the water falls
below the main rail Of the ship, leaving
her upper works in full view. Capt.
Benson, with his wrecking schooner, the
Rio Grande, and his divers in sub
marine armor, was alongside on Tues
day, and engaged in stopping the ports
through which the water entered that
sunk the ship. A large canvas is drawn
around the ship, the upper edge ofwhich
is above the water and lorms a sort Of
bag, encasing the vessel. When the
open ports and dead lights shall be all
closed by the divers, which was likely
to have been completed yesterday, moth
ing will remain 10 be done but to get
the steam pumps on board and tree the
ship. u

POEMS OF Henry KiRkE WHirE, with
memoir and tributary verses
Boston: Little, Brown e. Co.,
1854.
We never think Of this young and gift
ed poet without at once recalling the
beautiful lines Of Byron on his d :a,h,-
Unhappy White while lie was in its spring
And thy young muse just waved her joyous wing
The speiler came; and all thy promise fair
Has sought the grave to sleep forever there. Be.
Kirke White was man whose ge.
MUS was not properly appreciated dur
ing his brief lie, and it has not been,
as yet, since his death. Well has his
biographer said oi him, m,-Thus died, in
his twenty second year, Henry Kirke
White, whose genius and virtues justi-
fed the brightest hopes, and whose fit
ness for Heaven does not bring the con.
ISOLATION for his untimely fate which
perhaps 1t ought. |, is impossible 70
refrain from anticipating what his talents
might have produced, had his existence
been extended and though it is ea-
tremely doubtful if he were capable OF
worldly happiness, there Is a selishness
in our nature which makes US grieve
when those who are likely to increase
our intellectual pleasures are hurried to
the grave.
In whatever light the character Of
this unhappy youth be contemplated, it
is full Of instruction. His talents we're
unusually precocious, and their variety
was as astonishing as their extent. Be-
sides the poelical pieces in this volume
and his scholastic attaianents, his abil-
ity was manifested in various other
ways. His style was remarkable lor its
clearness and elegance, and his cores
pondence and prose pieces show extern
sive information. To great genius and
capacity, he united the rarest and more
important gifts Of sound judgment and
common sense. 1t is usually the mis-
fortune Of genus to invest ordinary OBJ
tents with a meretricious coloring, that
perverts their forms and purposes, 10
make its possessor imagine that it ex-
empts him from attending to those strict
rules oil moral conduct to which others
are bound to adhere, and 10 render him
netlectiul Of the sacred assurance that
Ito whom much is given from him will
be much required Nature, in Kirke
Whites case, appears, on the contrary,
to have determined that she would. in
one Instance at least, prove that high
intellectual attainr ents are strictly CON-
patible with every sscia and moral vir-
tue. A. very early period oi his life,
religion became the predominant feel
ing Of his mind, and she impaired her
sober and chastened effects to all his
thoughts and actions.
He wrote nothing which, dying, ne
could wish 10 eface. We commend
this volume 10 all, especially the young,
for from it's pages they will learn lessons
Of wisdom, truth and beauty.
This IL another Of the series Of tho
British poets (; others are to follow.
