As that which makes thy whisper, Fate,
For which on thee the centuries wait,
And destinies of man.
Across thy Alleganian chain,

The crying of thy chiIdren's blood

And unto thee, in Freedoms hour
OF sorest need, God gives the power
To ruin or to save
To wound or heal, to blight or bless
With fruitful field or wilderness,

The question of the human race
Is thine to solve anew;
And, trembling doubtful on thy breath,
A thrill of life or pang CT death
Shall reach the wide earth through.
Then let thy Virtue match the Crime,
Rise to the level Of the time;
And if a son of thine
Betray or tempt thee, Brutus-likc,

OCTOBER 4, 1856.

DEAR SIR: At a mass meeting of the
citizens of Berks and Lancaster counties,
/ held at Adamstown, on the line of the two
counties, Resolution was passed to call
a State Convention, to settle a Union Elec-
toral Ticket in accordance with the above
Call. Believing with them that this is
the most effective way to defeat Mr. Bu-
chanan, we earnestly invite your co-opera-
tion. The immediate publication of the
Call in your County, either in the news
paper or by hand-bills, is suggested. We
feel quite sure that nine-tenths of the
friends of both Fillmore and Fremont ap-
prove of this course The time is too
short to admit of delay.
You will Of course,if you approve of the
movement, see that call is issued, fixing
the place and hour at which the Delegates
for your County will be chosen.

VOTING.

that Of Buchanan was received with great

that of Fremont with storm of hisses,.

not very creditable to the venerable bach.

Rigid Legality.

A clever Arkansas correspon-
dent OF The New O.lean. Plcayune
tells the following story Of the rigid
manner in which justice is melted
out to men in that State:
| Some years ago man without
family or relations lived in a county
in this State, aud was possessed Of
an estate worth $1,000. He went
10 New Orleans, aud was absen.
four years without being heard from.
The Probate Judge granted admin
istration on his estate-w ound il
up and discharged The adnisislra-
tor. The man returned; had been
10 Mexico; applied 10 the Judge for
his property; when in open court
the following dialogue took place:
Dead Maa-Ifyour honor please,
| want my effects returned 10 me, as
You see / am not dead.
Court know-that is as a
man that you are alive and in
court; but as a court, know yo,,
are dead, for the records Of this
county say so, and against their
verify there can be no avermeni-
so says Lord Coke, and a god
many other books ! never read.
Dead Mdn-But | want my
property, aud it's M matter TO me
whether your records lie or not.
| am alive, have not transferred my
property, and TO deprive me OF it
without my consent is against all
law.
Cour5--If you insinuate that the
records OF this Court lie, this court
will send you to Jail.
! Dead Mn,--Send dead man to
jail!
Cdurt-Mr. Sheriff, take this
apparition onil
SherW-"Be thou ghost, or COB.
lin dam'd, I'll speak to tbee!"-lel's
go and take something TO drink.
The Judge stuck 10 it that so far
as his court was concerned he was
dead, aud Id i! he shouldn't
stay dead the poor fellow went
into charcery and spent all he made
in Mexico, and the rest.

Cbeap Ice House.

A correspondent Of the American
Farmer furnished the following:
We will give you our experience
with a cheap ice house. -Four years
ago last January, We had one dug,
of the following dimensions, viz: ten
feet every way; this was dug on high
groundinto firm clay: after getting
it this depth, we had the bottom
made into the bowl shape, and laid
down small logs across it; at the sur
face We had a pen made Of logs a.
round the edge. to the height of four
feet, and the dirt that came out Of
the hole was thrown up and rammed
around this pen; this pen increased
the depth to fourteen feet The
part in the ground has no walling CT
any description. When filling, we
have small quantity of straw kept
between the ice and the earth. FiE
teen wagon loads will fill my house,
and it has been empty but once in
four years, and that was in Noyem-
Der, and then it was emptied by ia
king out cart loads at time for ex-
traordipary purposes. After the
hank was thrown up around the pen,
we set in four blocks at the corners of
logs, twenty feet long; they we're
cut this length in order to throw the
caves some five or six feet from the
ice, and there by secure it from the
intrusion of water. There was left
sufficient space between the logs to
admit free circulation Of air. The
walls have crumbled very little
more the first year than any since,
and this was caused by rats. We.
paid a workman four dollars for putt
ting on the roof, hanging doors, etc,
and this was the whole cost, save
The kboring Of four farm hands, two
days, digging and putting up the
logs, and the cost Of materials.

Checked Precipitation.

There are two kinds of rerspira-
tion, sensible and insensibie. When
we see drops of wafer on the surface
Of the body as the result Of exercise,
or subsistence Of fever, that is sensi-
bic Precipitation. perspiration recog-
nized by the sense Of sight. But
when perspiralion is 50 gentle that it
cannot be detected in the shape of
water-drops, when no moisture Can
be felt, when it is known 10 US by a
certain sof, of the skin, that is
iusensible persriration, and is so gen.
tie that it may be checked to very
considerable extent without special
injury. Bot to use popular language
which cannot be mistaken, when a
man is sweating freely, and it is sud-
denly checked, and the sweat is not
brought out again in very fe" mo-
msnss, sudden and painful sickness
is very certain result.
What, then, checks perspiration?
A draft of air while we are at rest,
after exercise, or getting the cloth
ing wet and remaining at rest while
il is so. Getting cut of a warm bed
and going to an open window OF
door, has been the death Of multi
tubes.
A lady heard the cry of fire at
midnight; it was bitter cold; it was
so near, the flames illuminated her
chamber. She left the bed, boisted
the window; the cold chilled her 10 a
moment. From that hour until bel
diath, quarter Of a century later,
she never saw well day.
A young lady went to her win.
dow in her night clothes to look at
something in the street, leaning her
unprotected arms on the stone win.

She became ain invalid, and will re-
main so for life.
Sir Thomas Colby bang in a pro-
fuse sweat one night, happened to
remember that be had left the key

improve the iuadvertance and drink
some of his wine, be left bis bed,
walked down stairs; the sweating pro-
cess was checked. from which be died
10 few days, leaving six million Of
dollars in English funds. His i'll
ness was so brief and violent that be
had no opportunity to make bis will.
and bis immense property was divid-
ed among five OF six day-laborers
who we're his nearest relatives.
The great practical lesson which
we wish TO impress upon the mind oil
the reader is this: When you are
perspiring freely, keep an motion un
til you get to a good fire, or some
place where you are perfectly shell
tered from any draft Of air whatever
