ANTICIPATION OF THE FUTURE 1t is an
elevating and spiritualizing OF the mind
It tends to carry the soul little way to-
wards its proper region. 1t tends to lessen
the false Importance of the things of this
world. and to slacken their hold. 1t con-
tributes to obviate the unnatural and per-
nicious estrangement and dissertation be-
tween our present and future state. 1t
tends to habtuate the spirit to seek and
find the grand Importance of its existence
in its hereafter. 1t tends to awake lively
and sacred cur osity, which is surely right
and worthy state of feeling with which to
60 towards another world, and to go into it.
1t may help to turn to valuable account the
varieties in the present system of our exist
ence-the facts in surrounding nature-the
immediate circumstances of our own being
by prompting, on each particular, the
thought and the question, "What cores
ponding to this-what is contrary to this
what instead of this-may there be in that
other world?" 1t may aid to keep its as
sociated with those who have gone tkieher.
1t may give new emphasis to our impression
of the evil of sin, and the excellence of all
wisdom. holiness and pety, by the thought,
"What manner of effect is this, or this,
adapted to result in, in that future state?"

The EL DORADO FIRED INTo-The ~ Y
Mirror contains the following brief account
of the recent outrage which the telegraph
has reported to have been committed upon
an American steamer few days since, by
a Spanish frigate:-
"Capt. Gray, of the United States mail
steomship FL Dorado, reports that while on
his passage from Aspinwall to Havana, on
Wednesday morning, the 7th inst, at Ali
45m, while steering his usual course, Cape
Antonio light in sight, distant 10 to IL
miles, he fell in with ship laying to- with
maintopsail to the mast, distant about half
a mile, who fired shot at the FL Dorado.
which strhck the water about 20 yards from
the bow.
Capt Gray immediatly ordered the helm
to be put to starboard, and stood towards
the ship, and when within 800 yards anotl-
er shot was fired which passed Immediately
over the wheel-house. The engines were
instantly stopped and the Ell Dorado was
boarded by an officer from the Spanish frig-
ate Ferrolona, who, after examining her pa-
pers and causing nearly an hours detention,
suffered her to proceed.

LORD BRoUGHAM's INs 7RIPTIoN.-A
French paper states that Lord Brougham
has laced the following inscription over
the entrance door of his chateaux at Cannes:
Invent portum; ses eff for, una, valette,
Sat me lusistis ludite nunc aiios."
That is. '1 have reached my haven; hope
and fortune, farewell; you have sported with
me enough, now find another dupe." Lord
Brougham French neighbors construe this
as "an announcement of his intention to re-
tire from public life, and to pass the remain
der of his days among them in the genial
climate of the Var" However that may
be, the adoption of such motto, at the end
of the career of such brilliant statesman,
is very instructive fact. He stands forth
like Solomon at the end of life, writing
vanity of vanities' on all.

An Ode to All Mankind.

BY j. C. YOUNG N. D.
All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
AS It's YOUR case alone, not mine | plead
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Man doomd has to bare, when the remOrseless
fangs
OF dire disease, is fastened in his soul,
When he would seek the dagger or the bowl,
To end his misery by the potent spell
OF deadly poison, or the polished steel. morn
Ye who have writhed and groaned from night to
Cursing the hour that ever ye were born!
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to count the breeze
Hoping 'twould quench the flames that madly
burned
In every vein, as if your blood were turned
Th molten lava
To him who hath felt this
| need not speak, as he knows what it is
But such as only feel the incipient spark,
Should read this Ter, and every sentence mark
Upon the tablets of their memory,
AS none may tell how he Il tomorrow be
But all should know, in dark affliction's hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their pain, so prompt they'd think my
hand
Must surely grasp a Necromancers wand,
Like some good Genii of the olden time
Whose every act bespoke his power sublime,
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In every town and hamlet, small or great,
Some can be found who know the power WELD,
Having tried it-know it was to them a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore
Upon Scamanders banks, in battle bore
They know it saved them from the blush of shame
Preserved their health, and dearer far their name
For who'd confess the pain that spoiled his rest,
Sprang from a source impure, to say the least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this o'er,
Remember, ] ALONE can you restore.
To health and usefulness.
That you may know
have the means and power for doing 50,
= here will state. Let each one note what say,
NV motto always is-NO CURE, NO PAY.
I'm found with ease my names ON every tongue.
The suff 'rers friend, and yours too,

Platform of the American Party.
MOTTE HALL.

An important document connected with
the American party has made its appear
ance in New York. 1t is issued by Coun-
Gil No. II, and may be considered as shadow
ing forth the principles to be adopted by
that rarty in the next Presidential election
The document consists of an address and a
series of resolutions. 1t has been printed
and is to be circulated to every Council in
the country, that lin the language OF a res
olutiOn adopted by Council No. 12) 1.-The
views of the party throughout the United
States may be returned for the final action
of the next Grand National Council" The
platform laid down by the Council No. l2.
is. that the Federal Constitution shall be
supported, that State rights shall be respect
ed, and the Union upheld. An exclusive
American policy is to be introduced, in Or
der to balance the foreign element which is
now so rapidly gaining ground. The pres
ent system of electioneering is to be con-
demaed, and more in accordance with
American principles is to take its place
In matters Of religion, all individual opin
ions are to be respected, all churches are to
stand upon level, and the Bible is to be
used in the common schools, sectional ques-
tions are to be avoided, and all attempts to
ALLEVIATE divisions of the Union from each
other. are to be resisted.
The Council thinks that liberal policy
should be maintained by Congress in
measures designed to develope the resources
Of the country, and i'll the Improvement OF
harbors and rivers The spoils system is to
be abandOned-it is condemned as odious,
and un-American. Other minor matters
are set forth in the document, which is care
fully worded throu ghout, and which allows
Of considerable latitude OF meaning.

BR" The Wyoming Mrror r

BsE- The Wyoming Mirror relates a
good joke of an old collector, who was
proverbial for his politeness as well as per-
tinacity. He was always in the habit of
taking delinquent debtor aside when he
dunned him. One day he met on-payer,
upon an unfrequented road, some half mile
from any house and probably the same dis
tance from any human being. What does
the old chap do but leave his buggy call the
other aside, and in fence corner politely
asked him for that little balance.

A HARD WoRKER.-Col Benton tells a
good story of himself as follows:
"When first went to Washington I ad-
vertised for gentleman to teach me Span
ish. A Castilian came, who said he had
leisure early in the morning and could teach
me then, and at no other time. / asked him
what he called early. He said seven o'clock.
| told him he was not early enough for me,
but if he would come every morning at two
o'clock l would engage him. He agreed
and was let into Browns Hotel every morn
ing at two o'clock for seven months, and
never for once did the Castilian tap at my
door without finding me ready to receive
him." The Colonel continued, "we studied
Spanish every morning until daylight, Sun
day included"

the portion adjacent to the cartridge, is hol-

DR. YOUNG returns his sincere thanks to his
II numerous patients, (amoUnting to over two
thousand in the last year) for their patornage

them that he continues to consult on those diff
cult cases of Venereal, which have haffled the

andupon which he never failed to perform rad
ical cure.
The Doctor is happy to see the public apprec-
ate the valuable services Of regular medical
graduate-one in whOseskill and integrity they
can place the utmost confidence. rather than
class him with the herd Of Quacks, who infest
the city, sowing the seeds of debility and disease
to an alarming extent by pretending t. cure the
world of Diseases when they know nothing of the
modus operandi of medicine. They give mercu-
ry and other poisinous drugs, under the name of
vegetable medicines, which, instead Of curing
entail upon the system a hUmor which is hand

GEN. JAcKsoN's MoTTo.-"T "Think before
you act, but when the time for action comes,
stop thinking" That is the true doctrine.
Many men fail in life, and go down to the
grave with hopes blasted and prospects of
happiness unrealized, because they did not
adopt and act upon this motto. Nothing
so prepares man for action as thought;
but nothing so units man for action in
the course of action. Better by far adopt
some course, and pursue it energeticaily
even though it may not be the best, than
to keep continually thinking without acting.
go ahead" ought to be printed in every
young mans hat and read until it becomes
part of his nature, until he can act upon
his own judgement, and not be turned from
his course by every wind of interested ad-
vice. In conclusion, we would say, "think
before you act, but when the time for action
comes stop thinking
