A STRIKING SMILE.

THE HEALING WATERs.-Our readers will
doubtless remember the magic properties as
signed to the River Lethe in the Mythology of
ancient Greece. In those darker ages super
stition held predominant sway, and usurped
the minds of men. Immersion in its waters
was believed TO cause forgetfulness of past and
present woes-the afflicted mind and diseased
body could alike throw off the trammels that
bound them, and being thus no longer the
slaves of mental or bodily enthralment, finish
the rest of their days with indifference to the
past, and unalloyed anticipation for the future.
But start not. attentive reader, when we
tell you with less fable, but far sterner fact,
that IRE have Lethe near our homes and
hcarths whose waters not occasionally but at
all times flow in one continuous stream of heal
ing benefcence
Whether the aflction emanate, from the
deep-scated core of long neglected disease, or
from the ravages of malignant epidemic, or
again from long ng-protracted habits OF dissipa
ton and vice, there is at hand, within the easy
grasp of the poor sufferer, be he high or low.
a remedy for his woes to which he can look
for succor.
We allude, in the above remarks, TO the
vastly spread and mighty influence of the rem
edics which bear the name Of the world famed
and renowned Professor Holloway.
Countless thousands Of every tongue and
cline, daily hymn his praises, as having lifted
them from bed OF suffering and sorrow to
new life and terminated vigor!
Be the malady hidden in the inmost vitAls of
the human frame, or eyinccd by superficial
sores, by sure, but gentle means, he eradicates
the secret evil, and Gisperses to the winds the
chronic vcnonI that has for years defied the ply
sician's skill
These are not idle words we utter, nor tho
visionary imaginings of feycred brain, but
the stern realities of long tried practice and
anfoiiing issues.
The suffrages of universal acclamation stamp
Hoiio,cag as the man, and his medicines as the
means that administer to the healing Of the
nations from the .sOrient" to the ssOcciden-
tal'' sun,
The printer heralds il from pole to pole, and
leaves TO all and each but a ssfyidos fe,t" TO
wiring from the unwilling lips of the skePtic
and doubter the universally allowed confession
that "these things are so.''-N I. Examiner.

now announce a new miracle about twice a
week. The last is jump which the s'wafer''
made, in church, from the hand OF person
who ought not to have touched it, to the mis-
sal of very devout lady, aud thence into her
mouth, which happened providentially to be
open at the time. This was clever for wa
fer, though we confess, the greater miracle
seems to be, that priest should print such a
story and not to be sent to St. Pelagie as a
rogue, or to Bicetre as a fool. However, the
jumping wafer is worthy companion of the
Winking Virgin.

THE SHORTEST WAY.-Some twelve years
ago Napoleon, Indiana, was celebrated for two
things, one for the carousng propensities OF
its citizens, and the other for the great number
of cross roads in its vicinity. 1t appears that
an Eastern collector had stopped at Dayton to
spend the night, and gain some information
respecting his future course. During the G.
vening he became acquainted with an old dro-
yer, who appeared well posted with the geo.
graphy of the country, and the collector tho't
he might as well inquire in regard to the best
route to different points to which he was des-
tined.
81 wish to go to Greenfield" said the col
lector, snow which will be my shortest way 2"
ssWell, sir,'' said the drover, ssyou had bet
ter go to Napoleon, and take the road leading
nearly north.''
The traveller noted it down.
"Well, sir, if l wished to go to Edinburg 2"
ssThen 60 to Napoleon, and take the road
west.''
swell, If wished to go to Vernon 20
$50 to Napoleon, and take the road south
wcst.''
ssOr to Indianapolis 20 asked the collector,
eyeing the drover closely, and thinking he
was being imposed on.
"Go to Napoleon, and take the road north
west.''
The collector looked at his notebook; eve
ry direction had Napoleon on it; he began to
feel his mettle rise, and he turned once more
to the drover, with
ssSuppose, my friend, l want to go to h-l?''
The drover never smiled, but scratched his
head, and after moments hesitation he said
"Well, my dear sir, L don't know of any
shorter road you could take than to go to Ma
poleen.'

to the horse market in New York, to purchase

AN ADVERTISEMENT.

W anted-a hand to hold my own,
As down life's vale I glide
Wanted-an arm to lean upon,
Forever by my side
Wanted-a firm and steady foot,
With step secure and free,
To take its straight and onward pace
Over life g path with me.
Wsnted-a form erect and high,
a head above my own,
So much that might walk beneath
Its shadow DER me thrown.
Wanted-an eye within whose depth
Mine own might rise and see
Cprisings from a guileless heart,
O'erfown with love for me.
Nanted-a lip whose kindest smile
Would speak for me alone;
A voice whose richest melody
Would breathe affections tone.
Wanted-a true, religious soul,
To pious purpose given,
With whom my own might pass along,
The road that leads to Heaven.

THE RESURRECTION FLOWER.

In its account of the recent Spring Exhibi-
tion of the Brooklyn Horticultural Society, the
New York Tribune says: ssWe must notice
one very remarkable curiosity, known the
Resurrection Flower. This flower, rather
plant, resembles in its nominal state a dried
poppy head, with the stem attached. Upon
being immersed moment or two in glass of
water, and set upright in the neck of small
vial, in few moments the open petals began
to burst open gradually, yet visibly to the eye; !;
they continued to expand until, throwing them
selves back in equidistant order, there was
presented beautifully radiated starry flower,
somewhat resembling both the passion flower
and the sun flower, and yet more splendid than
either. The unfolding still continued until
the petals bent backward over what might be
termed the base of the flower, presenting in
bold relief in its centre its rosette of the most
exquisite form and ornamentation, and thus
assuming q new charm, entirely eclipSng
what moment before, seemed its absolute
perfection. After remaining open an hour or
more, the moisture gradually dissipates itself,
and the fibres of the flower contract as gradu-
ally as they expanded, and it re-assumes its o.
riginal appearance, ready to be unfolded again
by the same simple process-the number of
times seeming to be limited only by the will
of the possessor.
DIR. Deck, who brought this specimen from
Upper Egypt, suggests that the flower IS na-
tive of the Holy Land, and is type or varie-
ty of the long lost Rose of Jericho, called also
| the s'Rose of Sharon" and the ssStar of Beth
lehem,'' and highly yenerated for its rarity and
peculiar properties,by the pilgrims and crusa-
ders; and eagerly sought after by them as
priceless emblem of their zeal and pilgrimage,
and worn on their escutcheons in similar
manner as the scollop shell and palm-bra
This idea is strengthened by the fact that re-
semblances of the flower, both opened and
closed, sculptured upon tombs of two OF
the Crusaders buried in the Temple Church Of
London, and also in the Cathedrals of Bayeux
and Rouen in Normandy, where some of the
the most illustrious Crusaders are interred.-
Its botanical position is difficult to assign, as
it presents some peculiarites of the highest
and lowest classes.
The opinion most sanctioned is, that the
flower is pericarp, or seed-vessel of the plant:
| that it grows in desert or sandy places, and
falls, in due course of existence, from the pa
rent stem. Retaining its seed in an arid soil
and atmosphere, it is for months and years
waited about by the winds, but from lack OF
moisture keeping closed. Eventually, it falls
upon some damp spot, near some well or oasis:
when it opens, deposits its seeds, and thus, by
most exquisite adaptation of means to an
end exhibited by this beautiful phenomenon
of nature, the work of reproduction is COM
menced und concluded.

An ENGLIsHMAN dropped into restaurant in
Providence, recently, and made hearty meal,
topping out with piece of pie, which, upon
tasting, he found was cold. He called the E.
thiopian waiter, and said to him 'sTake this
piece of pie to the fire and 'eat it." He was
much surprised to see Sambo walk up to the
stove and quietly devour the pie.
