Damascus.

Independently Of its central position, it
has attractions in itself superior, perhaps,
to any city in the East. We have heard
Of 'rose-red cities half as old as time,' but
Damascus is at least as old as any re.
ceived history, and is, in fact, the oldest
city we know Of which preserves to this
day its original importance. From the
time when Abraham left his home be-
tween the rivers to journey westward to
the Land of Promise its name has been
familiar; its beauty and riches have been
proverbial for 1000 years, and ithas been
link never broken between the patriar-
chal age and that of the steam engine and
the electric telegraph. 1t has come under
the dominion of David, of Jeroboam, of
Pharaoh Necho, Of Nebuchadnezzar, of
Alexander, of the Ptolemies, of Pompey,
of Cleopatra, of Herod, of the NIoslem, of
the Crusaders, of Timour the Tartar, of
the Sultans of Constantinople, and the
Pashas Of Egypt, yetit survives and still
fourishes. Here is still the street called
strait where Ananias came, directed by
a vision, to inquire for 'one called Soul
of Tarsus.' Here is still shown win
dow, by the way, of saracenic origin, from
which it is said the Apostle was let down
Here is. The site of St. Pnul's conversion,

which is even cited as proof Of its genui-
neness. And here are the tomb of Sala-
din, the head Of John the Baptist, the
house of Naaman, and the Mosque of
Sultan SeIim. So varied are the essocia-
tions, near and remote, real or apocry-
phal, of city which crowns them all by
its rare position and luxuriant yerdure,
its gardens, its pasture, and its lucid
streams its Abana and Pharphar, better
than all the waters of Israel

MERCANTILE HoNoR.-it might tempt
one to be proud of his species when he
looks at the faith that is put in him by
distant correspondent, who, without one
hold of him than his homer, consigns to
him the wealth of whole foti!a, and
sleeps in the confidence that it is safe. 1t
is, indeed an anlmatIng thought amid the
gloom Of this worlds depraVity, when we
behold the credit which one man puts in
another, though separated by oceans and
continents; when lie fixes the anchor of 4
sure aud steady dependence on the repor-
ted honesty Of one whom he never saw:
when with all his fears for the treachery
Of the varied elements through which his
property has 10 pass, he knows, that
should ii only arrive at the door of its
destined agent, all his fears and all his
suspicious may be at an end. We know
nothing finer than such homage from
one human being to another, when, per
haps, the diameter Of the globe is between
them; nor do we think that either the re
nown of her victories, or the wisdom of
her counseIs, so signallze the country in

dealing Of her merchants; all the glories of
British policy and British yalor are far
ecIipsed by the moral spIendor which
British faith has run over the name aud
the character of our nation; nor has she
gathered so proud distinction from all
the tributaries of her power, as she has
done from the awarded confidence Of
those men of all tribes and colors, and
languages, who look to our agency for the
most faithful of all management, and to
our keeping for the most inviolable of all
eustody-Chalmers.

The Hiseries and Effects Of Em-
TenRDer1mCC


The following is the most graphic de-
! lineation Of the miseries and affects of in
temperance that we have ever seen. 1t is
from the arguments advanced by certain
citizens of Portage county, Ohio, in q
memorial to the Legislature Oh the subject.
And its march of ruin is owned still !!
1t reaches abroad to others, inyades the
family and social circles, aud spreads
woe and sorrow all around. Itcuts down
youth in It's vlgor, manhood in its strength,
and age IN its weakness. 1t breaks the
fathers heart, bereaves the doating mo-
ther, extinguIshes natural affection, grasses
conJugal love, blots out filial attachment,
bights parental hope, and brings down
moruning age in sorrow TO the grave. 1t
produces weakness, not strength; sickness,
not health; death, not life. 1t makes
wives widows, children orphans, fathers
fiends, and all of them paupers and beg
gars. 1t halls fevers, feeds rheumatism,
nurses gout, welcomes epidemics, invites
cholera, imparts pestilence, and embraces
consumptions. 1t covers the land with
idleness, poverty, disease and crime. 1t
fills your jails, supplies your alms-houses
and demands your asylums. 1t engen-
ders controversies, fosters quarrels and
cherishes riots. 1t coDtemns law. spurns
order and loves mobs. ii crowds your
penitentIaries and furnishes the victims
for your scaffolds. 1t is the life blood of
the gambler, the aliment of the counter
fe'ter, the prop of the highwayman, and
the support of the midnight incendiary.-
1t countenances the liar, respects the thief
and esteems the blasphemer. 1t violates
obligation, references fraud and honors
iniamy, 1t defames benevolence, hates
love, scorns virtue and slanders inno-
cence. 1t incites the father to butcher his
offspring, helps the husband TO massacre
his wife, and aids the child to grind his
parric1dal axe. 1t burns up man, CON
sumes woman, detests life, curses God
and despises Heaven. 1t suborps witnes,
ses, nurses perjury, defles the jury-box
and stains the judicial ermlne. 1t bribes
votes, disqualifies voters, corrupts cleo
tions, poIlutes our institutions and endan-
gers our government. 1t degrades the
citizen, dehases the legislator, diShonors
the statesman and disarms the patriot. 1t
brings shame, not honor; terror, not safe.
ly; despair, not hope; misery, not happi- |
ness. And now, as with the ma!evolencc
Of fend, it calmly surveys its frightful
iesolations, and insatiate with havoc; it |
poisons felicity, kills peace, ruins morals.
olights confidence, Stays reputation aud
wipes out national honor, then curses the

REMEDY FOR SPRArNs.-An old friend
has handed to US the following receipt Eor
sprnins, the publication of which, if it be
as good as he deems it, may be produc-
tive of benefit to some of our readers -
One pint of soft soap, Country preferred,)
one pint of whisky; mix and boil them,
until the quaatity is reduced TO about one
pint. 1t will then be of the consistency
of plaster salve. Take thick cloth,
linen or cotton, sufficiently large to cover
the part injured; spread the mixture, and
sprinkle the same with the black pepper.
Apply this and let it remain for forty eight
hours, and cure in nine cases out often
will be effected.

CuRE FOR ScAB IN SHEEP.-I beg to
send you certain cure for scab in sheep,
as have tried it this. winter, with the
tappiest effects in some cases that resisted
the most approved washes. The follow
ing IS the recipe One part black an
timony, two parts powdered nisre, four
parts sulphur, a small quantity Of pow
dered ginger, and as much yellow soap
as will make the mass of proper consist
ence for making into balls. A drachm Of
this substance given to each sheep four
times week, will effect cure in a fort
night or three weeks, according to the
state of the sheep. Keep them in at night
in winter

ELECTION RETURNS.

DUBLIN, IRELAND, Nov. 8, 1856.
Buchanan has swept everything before
him, in Ireland; Fremont was unable
even to rally the Irish to his support.
ZURICH, Nov. q Fremont has trem-
endous majority in the whole of the Ger
man States; Buchanan got but meager
vote.
HOLLAND, Nov. 6.-In this seurkrout
country Buchanan and Fremont have
tied. The Dutch are terribly excited,
and the supply Of 'lager beer nearly ex,
hausted.
