CURE OF NIRULENT SMALL Pox, SCAR
LET FEVER AND MEAsLEs.-Thc follow
nc receipt was originally furnished by
MIR. Larkih, member of the Royal College
of Surgeons, who vouches for tas "med.
icne that will effect revolution in the
healing art, as regards the prevention and
cure of not only small pox, but also of
measles and scarlet fever, however malig-
uant the type
On the first appearance of fever and ir-
ritation on ushcring in attacks, whether
occurring in families or large communities,
the suhjoined mode of treatment should at
once be entered on. Take one grain of
each of powdered Iox.glove or dIgilaiIs,
(valuable in the ratio ofits greenness-lhe
dark should be rejected } and one Of sui
phal Of zinc, (this article is commonly
known as white vitrioI.) These should
be rubbed thoroughly in mortar or ether
convenient vessel, with four or five drops
Of water this done, noggin, or about
four ounces more, with some syrup or su-
gar, should be added. OF this mixture,
table spoonful should be given to an adUlr,
and two teaspoonfulS to a child every Sec
ond hour,unl!l thesymptoms of The disease
vanish.
Thus conducted convalescence, as ifby
magic will result. The action of,he med
iciue is thus explained: The herb by its
lebrjIe qualities lays hold of the fever,
which it Immediately strangIes, while the
zinc acts the pant of a tonic, instantly re-
storing equilibrium.
1t may, however, be necessary farther
TO note, that should the towes become OBJ .
structed in the progress of the disease, IAN
evil in no wise common) then drachm of
the compound powder jalap, formed by
two parts o.! cream Of tartar with one of ia
lap: and one grain of the herb treated as
above, formed into pastil with syrup or
sugar, should be given to an adult, and one
half the quantity to a child. This simple .
medicine shuts out every other drug or
form Of treatment whatever, as totally un-
necessary if not pernicious.
SOMETHING WORTH KNowN.-We find |
the following in an exchange, and as il Is /
by no means the Er> time that we have
heard Of the cure of the Group by the same
remedy, we have but little doubt of lis et-
icacv:
My wife and l were aroused about
two o'clock this mornig by Tie struggling
Of our little boy, about three years old,
who was laboring under violent attact OF
The Group. His breathing was so difficult
as to arouse persons who were sleeping in
a room beyond the hall. hastily folded
a towel, dipped lin cold water. and applied
il to his throat and breast; then folded
a sheet to tie proper size, wet it, and roll
led him up il it, and wrapped blanket
over that He went 10 sleep in three
minutes. and slept Till Eve o'clock, when
he gotup, was dressed and he went TO
PLAY in three hours after the atiact, and we
were rejoiceJ at The curative power Ct cold

The London correspondent of the Spirit
the Times, in speaking of Gerald Massey,
new poet, who has just come into favor in
lat city, says:
Id Massey, the poet of labor one who endeavors
raise the class he sprung from to the enjoyment
the amenities of independence and right, softens
to the enjoyment of domestic comfort he is full
hope for the people. He should be given, to the
merican world in a cheap form, that every one
lay read him."
The following poem is from the pen of the above
ritter:
High hopes that burn'd like stars sublime
Go down i the heavens of freedom;
And true hearts perish in the time
We bitteriest need 'em
But never sit we down and say,
There's nothing left but sorrow:
We walk the wilderness to-day,
The promised land tomorrow.
Our birds of song are silent now,
There are no flowers blooming
Yet life bears in the frozen bough,
And freedoms spring is coming
And freedoms tide come up alway,
Though we may strand in sorrow
And our good bark aground to-day,
Shall float again tomorrow
Through all the long, dark night of years
The peoples cry ascendeth,
And earth is wet with blood and tears;
But our meek sufferance endeth
The few shall not forever sway,
The many moll in sorrow;
The powers of hell are strong to-day,
But Christ shall rise tomorrow
Though hearts brood DER the past, our eyes
With smiles of future glisten
For 10 our day bursts up the skies:
Lean out your souls and listen
The world rolls freedoms radiant way,
And ripen's with her sorrow:
Keep heart ! who bears the cross TODAY.
Shall wear the crown tomorrow.
O, youth fame earnest, still aspire,
With energies immortal
To many heaven of desire
Our yearning opes portal
And though age wearies by the way,
And hearts break in the furrow,
Wen sow the golden grain to-day
The harvest comes tomorrow.
Build up heroic lives, and all
Be like a sheathen sabre,
Ready to flash out at Gods call,
O, chivalry of labor
Triumph and toll are twins: and aye
JOY suns the cloud of sorrow;
And It's the martyrdom to-day,
Brings victory tomorrow.

raj trade of the country is so broken up that
nothing but money can be used for any com

FACTS ABOUT FRIDAY.-From time imme-
mortal, Friday has been frowne upon as
day of i'll omen, and though this prejudice
is less prevalent now than it was OF yore,
when superstition had general sway, yet
there are many, even in this matter OF fact
age of ours, who would hesitate on day as
inauspicious, to begin an undertaking of
momentous importance. And how many
brave mariners, whose hearts unqailed could
meet the widest fury of their ocean home,
would blanch to even bend their sails on
Friday But to show with how much rea-
son this feeling is INDUCED, let us examine
the following important acts in connection
with our settlement and greatness as ma
ton, and we will see how great cause we
Americans have to dread the fatal day:
On Friday, August Sd, 1892, Christopher
Columbus sailed on his great voyage of dis
covery. On Friday, October 18th, 1892, he
first discovered land On Friday, January
4th, 1893, he sailed on his return to Spain,
which, if he had not reached in safety: the
happy result would never have been known
which led to the settlement of this vast con-
tinent. On Friday, March 18th, 1893, he
arrived in Palos in safety. On Friday, No
vember 22d, 1893, he arrived in Hispaniola,
on his second voyage to America. On Fri
udy, JUNE lOlll, ltJO, lc, llOuSl
to himself, discovered the continent of
America
On Friday, March 5th, 1896, Henry VII,
of England, gave to John Cabot his commits
sion, which led to the discovery of North
America. On Friday, Sept. 18th, 1865, Me
lendez founded st. Augustine, the Oldest set
tlement in the United States by more than
forty years. On Friday, Nov. 10th, 1920,
the Mayfower, with the pilgrims, made the
harbor of Provincetown. On the same day
was signed that august compact, the fore
runner of our present glorious constitution.
On Friday, December 22d, 1920, the pilgrims
made their final landing on Plymouth Rock.
On Friday, June 18th, 1775, Bunker Hill
was seized and fortified. On Friday, Octo-
Der 7th, 1777, the surrender of Saratoga was
made, which had such power and influence
in inducing France to declare for our cause.
On Friday, Sept 22d, 1880, the treason of
Arnold was laid bare, which saved US from
destruction.
On Friday, Oct. 18th. 1881, the surrender
of Yorktown, the crowning glory of the
American arms, took place. On Friday,
June 7th, l776, the motion in congress. made
by John Adams, seconded by Richard Henry
Lee, that the United Colonies were and of
right ought to be free and independent.
/ Thus, by numerous examples, we see that
however it may be with the other nations,
Americans need never dread to begin on Fri
day any undertaking, no matter how mo-
mentous it may be.

Interesting from Kansas.

Mr.. Charles Branscomb, late of Chicopee,
who went out as pioneer of the first emf
grant party to Kansas from New England,
returned to this city yesterday, bringing very
gratifying accounts from the emigrants.-I
The whole party were in excellent health and
spirits, looking forward confidently to the
/ full realization of their expectations and
hopes. They have selected and ocated
! themselves on a beautiful site for a town,
on the right bank of the Kansas river, forty
miles from its mouth where they had pitch
ed their tent and commenced the cOnstruc-
tion of their cabins They have formed a
regular sQuatter organization, OF which thei
first President is Mr.. F. Fuller, late of this
city; and Mr.. +. Davenport of Boston isl
Secretary. Mr.. Branscomb states that hisl
expectations in relation to the country were
realized in every respect; and in the abun
dance of its springs of pure, sweet and ex-
ce!lent water, it far exceeds his anuclpal
ton.
Mr. B. states that if the emigrants push
forward from the free States they Will not
;. only secure to themselves, easily and at q
cheap rate, a future independence in most
! delightful climate, but will also secure the
new State to freedom. Even the emigrants
from the slave States, who do not carry
holders themselves begin to give up that the
State must be free. One STAKEHOLDER in
| Franklin, Mo-, explored the country, and
! having selected claim, near where the New
England company have located, returned to
= Missouri and removed his effects, including
four slaves, on to the location. On his ar
rival, finding the population coming in from
the free States, and Judging we'll the conse-
, quences, he took his effects and the slaves
back again to Missouri. Another, from Vir-
ginia, who had selected location, On seeing
what the character of the population was
likely to be, remarked that he ' was not such
Id fool as to bring his slaves there
! Mr.. B. seems very happy in the encour
aging prospects of his new home. After
attending to the business which has brought
; him east, on his own behalf and that Of his
Z associates, he will again return to Kansas,
2 in season to accompany the next train of
/ emIgrants, and to afford them the aid and
advice which his experience qualities him to
impart.
! 1t is now expected that the next company
l will consist of about 900 persons, and that
= they will leave New England the latter part
of this month.
Some of the shareholders inquired of Mr..
D BranscOmb whether he was Eli Thayer of
: Massachusetts, of whom they had heard so
= much. Mr. B. replied that he was not, but
: there was a man in the company who was
> ready to personate Mr. Thayer, and take the
= consequences if they would pay the compa-
: ny the 50 900 which had been offered for
:. Mr.. Thayer's apprehension and delivery
z They informed them, moreover, that they
j stood in the same position Mr.. Thayer did
{ and that they were there to test the question
o of the rights of American freemen in that
{ territory. = Worcester Mass. Spy, Aug. II.
