NECESSITIES OF REL1o1oN.-Ike Marvel in his

Heverles OF bacheior thus happlly writes:
A man without some sort of religion, is at best
a poor reprobate, the football of destiny, with
no tie linking him to infnity, and to the won
drous eternity that is begun within but a wo-
| man without it is even worse-a flame without
heat, a rainbow without color, flower without
perfume.
man in some sort ties his frail hope and
honor, to this weak, shifting ground tackle, to
| his business or the world but a woman without
A man may clumsily continue sort of moral
responsibility out of relations to mankind but a
woman in her comparatively isolated sphere, and
where affection and not purposes is the cOntrOll-
ing motive, can find no basis in any other system
ofright action but that of spiritual faith.
A man may craze his thoughts to truthfulness,
in such poor harbOrage as Fame and Reputation
may stretch before him; but woman-where can
she put her hopes in storm, if not in Heaven?
And that sweet trustfulness-that abiding love
that enduring hope, mellowing every page Of
life-Gghtning them with pleasant radiance, when
the worlds storm breaks like an army with smo-
king cannon-what can bestow it all but holy
sOul-tie to what is stranger than any army with
cannon? Who has enjoyed the love of Chris
tian mother, but will echo that thought with ener-
CIV, and hallOw it with tear?
A CURE For ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS REM
EDY.-The effects resulting from the bite of rabid
the writer deems it but an act of Justice to make
the suboined remedy public, for the benefit of the
unfortunate hereafter. Within the past two weeks
there have been two cases of hydrOphobia of the
most distressing character-one in this city and
one in New Jersey-and daily reports are made
in tho newspapers of mad dogs being seen in and
about the city. Every individual in the commu-
nifty, therefore, should procure and preserve a
copy of the following cure, so that in case of
emergency, he might avail himself of its beneficial
tendency. VIM. HOffner, ESQ.,, of Passyunk, the
gentleman from whom the writer obtained this
invaluable receipt, states that he has known sew
eral instances of men and animals who have been
bitten in the severest manner by mad-dOgs, but
who, having taken this remedy never experienced
any effect whatever of the disease:
s'Take the root of Elecampane, one ounce and
a half cut it fine, then boil it in one pint of new
milk down to half pint take this three morn
ings, fasting, and eat no food till O'Clock in the
afternoon. 1t should be taken every other morn
ing the two last doses must weigh two ounces
each. This remedy will have the desired effect,
if taken at any time within twenty four hours
after the accident"
The press generally, by giving the above receipt
a conspicuous insertion, will advance the cause of
Humanity.-Cor. Of Pennsylranian.
ANOTHER LOVE AFFAIR.-On wednesday the
eth, a Miss Fuller, in Darbyville, Pickaway coun-
ty, drowned herself in the creek, in a few minutes
after reading note from her lover, that he did
not intend marrying her, and was about leaving
the village. A correspondent says, that after
she read the letter, she exclaimed ''My God, what
shall become of me!'' She crossed the street,
passed through house without noticing the fam
lily, rushed up STAIRS where the false one was at
work, and caught him round the neck, kissed him,
said she had come to bid him long FAREWELL
She then ran across field, and plunged into wa
ter fifteen feet deep. A man blowing near by,
supposing something was wrong, ran after her,
but only reached in time to see the bubble where
she had sunk.
