DissOlyiug the Union.

II Is funny to hear the compacent and dogma.
tic manner IN which sundry politicians of the
North aud Souih talk of dissolving the Union
They speak of the matter as if it were one Of the
easiest things in the world. and as if thry could
do IT, That is The CRANE, mistake of these NAL
content political agi,al"rs. They imagine that
they hold the destines of this vast republic in
,hehollow of ilIeirhand. They have but to open
their mouth in nullifying congressional har-
angne. or an elaborate revolutionary newspaper
article, and, presto. the Union is blown into a
thousand Fragments They take no account of
any other moral forces and elements in this
great country than those of an omnibus load of
Cataines, who, even it each had a power tor
ruin strong his WILL would not he able to
displace the smallest stone in the vast temple of
the American confederacy.
Outside of this knot of dscontenied and aspir-
ing men, lies the immense body of the Ameri-
can people, as unmoved and Indifferent to the
mimic whirlwinds which rage in the contracted
minds OF a few nullifiers, the ocean is TO
tempest in teapot. Before one solitary link
can be broken in the golden chain which uni,es
our glorious band of republican States, the Am
erican people must be consulted.- the mighty
millions OF farmers. mechanics, and tradesmen
the laboring and producing classes-the men
who have interests 10 be affected by change
OF government, and who have not the most re
mote intention OF permitting those interests to
be tampered with, without their knowledge and
consent. Whenever the Union is dissolved, it
will not be dissolved by Congress. The people
will unmake as they made, the government. 1t
was their work; they built it up; it is conse-
Grated by their blood; and their earthly treas
ures are deposited i'll it. Depend upon it, they
have authorized no men set of men, either in
Congress out of it, either directly or Indirect
ly, TO pull down that structure. That is a work
they reserve to themseves.-Rich. Dispatch.

A CARD-FROM DIR. J. G. YOUNG'S ppr
IA VAVE MEDICAL OFFICE To the as
fiioted-In this age of progress, when science i
developing itself in such manner as to anneao
almost miraculous, everything in common nIsca
is looked upon as not worth notice In view ~
this fact, DR.. Young, corner Of Montgomery ana NJ
California streets, up stairs, has concluded ~
leave the beaten track hitherto pursued bv mo-
scientific physicians, (that of waiting for the MI
lie to find you out alOne,) and publish to tba
world, as much as may be, his knowledge of tLo
healing ant, to let those who are in need of as
sistance know where they can find relief without
fear of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this subject, DIR. Youno
would say that for the past ten years he has pnT
sued the practice of medicine in one of the lar
gest cities of the United States, with the hiebest
success, and that his standing as physician is
without reproach having at one time been Jec'
turer at the University Of Pennsylvania on vene.
real diseases.
Upon all these considerations, DIR. Young ha,
confidence in introducing himself to the public
knowing that they will sustain well earned merit
The following are few of the many testmo.
nials which have appeared in the public journals
of the last few years.
[From. the Boston Medical Journal
Although we are opposed to the system of ad.
vertsing for good and sufficient reasons, still we
deem it but justice to say that DR.. Young is one
of the most industrious and intelligent votaries
of the medical science in the United States.
From Professor JacksOn.l
The subscriber is personally acquainted with
DR.. Young, and has seen much of his practice
and can bear testimony to his merits as pract
TONER.
From the New York Herald.l
The eminence of this distinguished gentleman
in his profession and the very extended opportu
mites possessed 10y him for the observation of We
nereal diseases, makes his services invaluable to
those afflicted with the above complaints.
[From the Whig and Advertiser.]
All afflicted with private complaints, should if
possible consult with Dr. Young, whose medical
education is not surpassed by any physician in
the country. In his Skill honor and integrity all
may rely with safety while most of the medical
practitioners in the city are without honesty or
respectability, their pretensions being grounded
in ignorance and assumption.

The Green.Eyea Monster

One day last month the following scene oc-
Cured on board of a Mississippi steamboat:
A German deck passenger had been har.
boring the "green-eved monster" during the
entire trip from New Orleans, on account of
some little attentions his wife received and
seemed to court from dashing. starched-up
Snyder" who unluckily for the husband
was also deck passenger.
Shortly after the boats arrival here, he
was driven to utter desperation at seeing
his wife receive and lovingly return the hate
ful Snyders kiss. Calling her forward, he
placed himself upon the edge of the boat
"Ah, Kathleen, you likes der taller so bet
ter as me all der while, so, mine Cot. l
browns myself ter death.
Overheard he plunged The wife be-
came frantic, and attempted to follow him,
but was STAYED by the passengers. She fell
upon her knees, and agonizingly entreated
her "Shorge'' to come back, but no George
appeared she promised unwavering constan-
cy-increased aff1ction-the spirit of devo-
tion and submission he seemed to be so anx-
ious she should manifest, but nothing but
the ruf1ed waters gave response. She then
SnFlekeu lor him again, Wnen up from the
water Shiveringly came an answer:
Il am now so dead as ter very tyvel, if
you kiss der Snyder once more any time
again; and if you no more kiss him and loves
me so good and better as you loves him
twice, Wy den | comes back myself. l no
likes der tamt tailor. him to get me for his
brudder-in-law nit mien wife"
A wild deiirious cry of joy escaped the
woman. She promised fidelity upon her
bended knee, when slowly from beneath the
guards of the boat emerged the half drown
ed Dutchman. He had managed to gain
the cover of the guards without being dis
covered, and there supported himself above
the water by the timbers. 1t is needless
perhaps, to Say, that since then Kathleen
has been most devoted wife, aud holds the
tailor in utter detestation.

INTENSE HEAT IN AUsTRALIA.-Messrs.
Joseph Stilling & CO., of Adelaide, South
Australia, in their circular for the overland
mail, say: "During the last seven days the
continuance of hot weather has been unpar-
alleled since the establishment Of the colony;
in this period, the thermometer has con-
stantly ranged night and day, in the shade,
from eighty to one hundred and twenty de-
grees, according to situations; and from one
hundred and thirty to one hundred and fifty
degrees in the sun. Many cases of sun
stroke have occurred in the neighborhood,
death being the result in some instances
Apples are also being exhibited as roasting
