COUGH.

This well known Temperance Lecturer
rather electrifes John Bull. Witness the
following paragraph from a London letter
in the Pittsburg Christian Advocate
" A man who plays Upon one string must
play we'll to attract many. Mr.. Cough
has played upon one string, in this eohn-
try, for the last eighteen months, and the
interest of the public in his performances
increases rather than abates. We use the
word performance" not at all in that
inyidious sense, for in spite of the suspi-
cions which attaches to a speculation in
which the orator receives the income OF
an opera singer for telling the faith that
is in him, we believe him to be perfectly
sincere, and true reformer. Your cor:
respondent has had the happiness of hear
ing Mr.. Cough twice, and the effect pro-
duced upon him, and to all appearance,
the whole listeners was overwhelming
What other effect could be produced by
an grafton which required eighteen feet OF
platform for its delivery? The orator
stamped and stormed and almost raved
his energetic sentences rolling forth a
marvellous food of the most musical words
over the heads of his astonished auditory.
He jumped about, carrying to the limits
Of the burlesque the axiom of Demothenes
that action is the chief requisite of the or
ator. Whether he initiated the kicking
donkey or the rolling gait of the drunkard
which he did-all was done with the
greatest art, and the most exqisite tact of
display in the knowledge of human ma,
ture; for not one of his anecdotes and
practical jokes missed fire; and whether
Mr.. Cough convulsed his audience with
laughter at some piece of humor, or melt
ed them to tears by sudden action upon
their pathetic feelings the experiment was
always successful. Mr.. Cough has true
genius-goodness of heart-a noble spirit;
and he is achieving great work of refor-
nation in this nation, so notorious as the
most drunken one under heaven.

UNCERTAINTY OF LIFE.-Last Thursday
morning lady residing In this city, left
her home for New York, apparently as
we'll as usual, intending to return in the
evening. But, alas for all human depend
encies, a messenger came in the same day
informing the husband that just as she
had reached relatives house in the latter
city, she had been smitten down suddenly
by some inward derangement of the sys.
tenn, and was not expected to live. She
died on Friday morning, and on Saturday
was buried. How true it is, that while
man appoints, God diappoints. And
how important to listen b the Divine in.

A CERTAIN CURE FOR ScRoFULA.-
Nicholas Longworth, the famous million
arie and wine grower of Cincinnati, pub
fishes the following cure for serofula:-
Put two ounces of aquafortis on plate
ON which you have two copper cents
Let it remain from eighteen to twenty-four
hours. Then add four ounces of clear
strong vinegar. Put cents all in large
moutEed bottle and keep it corked. Be
gin by putting four drops in teaspoon
full of rain water, and apply it to the sore.
Make the application three times a day,
with soft hair pencil, or mop Of rags
If very painful, putmore water. AS the
sore heals apply it weaker.

RED BANK, March %, 1855.
MIR. EDIToR:-Some eight years ago, our vii
contained only one house of public worship,
and that quite small place, it being free, and
could scarcely erer eli it. We have now, a
Methodist Episcopal, Baptist, Episcopalian,
and Presbyterian churches with good congre-
cations. The Methodist Episcopal Church
was built in the year 1S45, under the pastoral
charge Of the Rev. WIN. E. PERRY, through
whose labors we were enabled to build good,
convenient church, although numbering not
more than fifteen members at that time. Since
that time, we have Increased more or less
every year up to the present time; especially
the two last years. During the last conference
gear, under the labors of the Rev. JOHN SCAR
LETT, near one hundred was added to the
church, and this gear our church has been great
ly best. Our preacher in charge Rev. ROBERT
S. HARRIS has been engaged in an extra meet
ing for more than three months, and through
his instrumentality over one hundred have been
added to the church. He is one Of the most
perserering preachers ever saw. Our congre-
cation is large, and for some time have not
been able to seat all the people. Red Bank
is destined to be one of the best appointments
of the New Jersey Conference. We have also
one of the best choirs belonging to this church
there is in Monmouth county. We think the
day is not far distant when we shall have to
enlarge our. edifce. We have only two APP
pointments, viz: Red Bank and Rumson; and
number in society about three hundred mem
bers We have six Glasses and two Sab
bath Schools Yours, &C., j.

two or three years since theparty perish
ed by hunger
Such are the words of Mastitukwin's
narrative as detailed to the Rev. I. Hurl-
but of Rossville Mission, Hudson's Bay.
They are eutitled to credence because the
narrator is native Of the country, ac-
quainted with the language, and could
have had no object in making false state
ment. The various specimens Of oak that
were seen in the Esquimaux encampment,
prove that they must have had access
to at least one Of the ships of the missing
expedition.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We have received long communication,
probably make about three columns on the
subject of Sewing Societies." with request
to publish this week. We are obliged to re-
fuse doing so for several reasons; one of which
is that the author did not send his name; and
another is, that we have no time to correct the
grammatical inaccuracies it contains We
must, however, give the author the credit of
paying his Postage.
