CURE FOR SMALLPOX AND SCARLATlNA.

A merchant and ship owner of this city
has had the following sent him from Eng
land, where it was furnished by Mr.. L.
Larkin, Member of the Royal College of
Surgeons, and who vouches for it as a
''medicine that will effect 8 revolution in
! the healing art, as regards the prevention
and cure not only of small pox, but also
Of measles and scarlatina, however malig-
nant the type. IN manner more efficient
and extraordinary than could ever have
been hitherto anticipated, even by the most
ardent philanthropist
''On the first appearance of fever or ir-
ritation ushering in attacks. whether oc-
curing in families or large communities,
| the subjoined mode of treatment should
at once be carried on Take one grain of
powdered foxglove or digitalis, valuable
in the ratio of its greenness-the dark
of zinc; (this article is commonly known
as white vitriol) These should be rubbed
! thoroughly in a mortar or other convenient
vessel, with four OF i've drops of water !;
this done. noggin Tor about four ounces)
more, with some syrup or sugar should
! be added. ~Of this mixture, a tablespoon
/ ful should be given to an adult, and two
teaspoonfuls to a child, every second
hour, until symptoms of disease vanish.
Thus conducted, convalescence, as if by
magic, will result The rapidity of an
event SO auspicious will equally delight
and astonish II may, however, be neces-
sary further to note, that should the bow
els become obstructed in the progress of
the disease. an evil by no means common,
then drachm of the compound powder of
jalap, (formed of two parts cream of tartar
with one of jalap,) and grain of the herb,
treated as above, formed into pastil with
syrup or sugar, should be given to an adult,
and half the quantity to a child, This
simple medicine shuts out every other
form or article whatever as totally unnec-
essary, if not pernicious,
| The nethoelus nse7ehdt of these medi
cines, capable of effecting results SO gigan-
tic remains now only to be given, and ap-
pears to be as follows The herb, by its
antifebrile porerties, lays hold at once OF
the fever, the prolific source of woe which
it immediately strangles. while the zinc
acts the part of tonic: instantly restoring
the equilibrium"
Mr.. Larkin adds: mo emigrant OF
1 government vessel should hereafter be al
lowed to put to sea without few pence
worth of these protectors and it is fur
ther ardently hoped that, as the dearest
interests of our common humanity are 81

Henry Clay is Dead, and Nobody Cares

Washington letter writer says the Nebraska
bdI, introduced by Douglas, will probably pass,
for Henry Clay is dead and nobody cares what is
done
When the eagle scars forth thro the mid heaven
careering,
The vulture obscene, aud the carrion crow
Shrlak away from MS presence, in dread, if
fearing
One glance from his eye as a shaft from bow:
50 when in the pride of his manhood invested,
Some great noble spirit appears among men,
Majestic IN mein, with true dignity crested,
Each traitor aud coward sinks back TO his den ::
Sinks back, as the spider-that poisonous thing,
That fattens in foulness through cunning and
guile;
When some hand is upraised sudden ruin TO bring
On the web it mas spun, and ats inmate most vile.
But as foul exhalations, engendered in slime,
Shine out when the glorious daylight is o'er,
50 treachery cowardce, falsehood and crime
Startup from their lairs, when the good man $

Whose clarion voice awed Senates of old,

gathering. Balls might and would be bet.
ter conducted if it were not for the blind
prejudice of churches, which keeps from
such society many moral and religious
people who believe there is no harm in
dancing.
Many parents are willing that their
children should attend parties where silly
plays and silly conversation occupy the
time but let the dog trot of ''chasng the
squirrel be exchanged for promenade
all'' and their modesty and dpiety are shock
ed at the awful depravitys 1t is time that
such strange inconsistencies were ended
1t is time that religious people should
look upon dancing in its true light, as an
innocent amusement, and balls be elevated
| to their proper standard, as social gather
lngs where good manners and true polite
ness might be learned and society be large
ly benefited thereby.
But it can hardly be expected that those
who have long been taught to believe dan
cling sin, will be convinced that it is 9TH
erwise They will still regard it as de-
vice of the devil with which to delude poor
mortals. But would ask of such one ia

you as you say to others, "Search the
Scriptures" You may find some passa-
ges in them which condemn dancing, but
if so your experience will be different from
mine. Instead of being condemned, find
it commended David says, "Lord, be
thou my helper; Thou hast turned for
me my mourning into dancing thou hast
put off my sack cloth and girded me with
gladness to the end that my glory may
sing praise to thee and not be SILENT
Solomon, in the third chapter of Eoclesi-
astes, says: "To every thing there is a
season, and time to every purpose under
the heaven; A time to weep and time to
laugh; time to mourn and a time to
dance" &c. Such passages as these you
will find in the Bible that holy book
which is the foundation of your religious
faith, and the teachings of which you re-
gard as the teachings of God Solomon,
whom you regard as the wisest man that
ever lived, says "There is time to dance, u
and the Lord himself turned David
mourning into dancing and unless you
are wiser than both you need not offer any
objection. Live up to the principles of
true Christianity follow the teachings of
the Bible; obey the golden rule, ''Do un-
to others as ye would that they should do
unto YOU and the liveliest jig that was
ever danced will not not interfere with
the enjoyment of your religion.

The Summer Midnight.

GTJ.C ATRA.
The breeze of night has suns to rest
Iron the rivers tranquil breast
And every bird has sought her nest,
Where silent is her minstrelsy.
The queen OF heaven is sailing high,
A pale bark on the azure sky,
And not breath is heard to sigh,
So deep the soft tranquility.
Forgotten now the heat of day
That on the waving waters lay;
Yae noon OF night her mantle gay
Spreads for the sun s bright blazonry.
But glittering in that mantle bright,
There CLEANS line of silver light,
As tremulous on the sea of night
l. hoyers sweet and playfully.
At peace the distant shallop rides;
Not as when dashng o er her sides
The roaring bays unrulv tides
Were beating round her furiously,
But every sail is furled and STILL
Silent the seaman's whistle shrill,
While dreamy slumbers seem to thrill,
With parted hours of ecstacy.
Stars of the many-spangled heaven,
Brightly this night your beams given,
And proudly where your hosts are driven,
Ye rear your dazzling galaxy
And, far and wide, softer hue
Is spread across the plains of blue,
Where in bright chorus, ever true,
Forever swells your harmony!
Oh for some sadly { ing note
Upon this silent hour to float,
Where from the bustling world remote
The Tyre might wake It's melody.
One feeble strain is all can swell
From my almost deserted shell
In mournful accents, yet to tell
That slumbers not its minstrelsy.
There is an hour of deep repose
That yet upon my heart shall close,
Shall burst upon me wondrously,
On may | then awake forever,
Ny heart TO rapture's high endeavor.
And as from earth's vain scenes l sever,
Be lost in immortality,
