A SINGULAR HUMAN BEING-A LAUDA-
MUM DRINxER.-We have in this village
one Of the most singular human beings (aI
things considered) to be found IN this cor
ner of the world. He is dwarf, about
eighteen years OF age quite small and de-
formed, aud not exactly an opium eater,
but laudanum dIinkct. He has been
victim of tho habit TO, years. and all at
t-mpts TO prevent his indulgence in the
Supplying drug have been in vain. The
desire for more and more has steadily gaiu-
ed on him until at the present time he ac-
tually drinks two ounces of laudanum eve
ry day. and what is still more remark able,
all al one time THIS enormous potation
is swallowed at regular hour in the after
noon OF each day; pipe aud tobacco then
follow, and smoking is in order till mid
night, unless, indeed, the subjrct-which
is sometimes the case-falls asleep, when
he is helped to bed. The only object Tor
which9thls strange creature seems to live
is this deadly narcotic, aud his on'y care
and ambition are centered in procuring the
little means required to buy the two ounce
draught. AS il has been found impossible
to place any effectua barrier between the
drug aud the drugged, the attempt has
been abandoned, as it has been thought
best to hereafter interpose no obstacles in
the way of free indulgence. Eimira Ad-
rertiser.

the scenes Of his boynood exhiIara,ed and
enlivened a feeble frame which had al.
most fallen prey to melancholy. The

brought fresh to his recollection, and once
more with buoyant spirits and a hopeful
heart, he was ready to launch forth into
the world 10 breast all storms, and to meet
and grappl. with every obstacle, As soon
as the Spring opened. he entered upon
the duties of his profession. He found at

Nothing party, but how shows strong pro-
clivlties for being an ally Of Horace Cree
ley. Mr. Wise's abilities and legal pro-
ficiencies soor brought him into command
of an extensive and lucrative practice,
which he continued to hold so long as his
mind was drawn from political matters -
His great forte as a lawyer is his great
power before jury. He has no superior

If to hope overmucfr be an error,
Ills one that the wise have preferred;
And how often have hearts been in terror

But bear what God gives thee to bear,
By this Spirit supported and gladdened,
