A REMARKABLE ESCAPE OF A WIFE
FROM PoIsoN.-We find the following
statement in late English paper =
A strange rumor is rife in the neigh
bolhood of Watford, relative to an oc-
currence, which, if true is quite re-
markable.
1t appears, as near as We can gath
err from reliable sources, that man(wc
omit names for obvious reasons) short
time ago died, bequcathing his props
crty to his brothers wife who has been
suffering from continued i'll health to
such an extent as to render the servi>
ces of nurse indispensable. 1t also
appears that few mornings ago her
husband took up to her room two cups
of coffee one for his invalid wife which
he gave into her own hands, and the
other he placed by the side Of the fire
for himself, after which he left the room
for some purpose. In his absence his
wife complained of the coffee being
cold, and the nurse exchanged her cup
for the one on the hob, which the wife
drank soon after which her husband
returned, and drank the coffee which
had so innocently been substituted for
his own, which he was Immediately
seized with the most raking pains in
the stomach, and in every other re-
spect exhibited the usual attendant ef-
fects of the mos, virulent posion. IT.
FIVE minutes the man expired, but from
what cause at present can only be con-
jectured, but the inquest will doubtless
clear up the mystery.

The Old Stage-Coach.

Though others boast of their railroad speed,
The rattling car, and the whistles scream.
And look with-pridc on the iron stecd,. o..
With fiery lungs and breach Of steam
The jostling, crowding, rushing ahead,
And scolding, fretting, all in a rage :
I sigh again for the visions, fed,
OF turnpike roads and the old mail stage.
Then, ho for the days of the turnpike road
The prancing steeds, and brisk approach,
The mellow horn, and the merry 1hd
That used to ride in the old staA toach!
The old stagc-coach, in Its golden day,
Rolled proudly on, with its cheerful load.
And claimed from all the full right Of. way,
monarch then, of the turnpike road!
But now the day of its praise is Ger,
1t yields the palm to the railway train,
The dear old friend, so beloved of yore,
We ne'r shall look upon It's like again.
Then, no! &c.
The old stage coach. as it came Of old.
Each idler reused with its noisy din;
With cracking whip. how it briakly rolled,
With conscious pride, to the village inn!
But now it stands in the stablc-yard,
With dusty seats and rusty tire.
And we this friend of our youth discard,
For railway cars and stced of fire;
Yet give mo the days of the turnpike road.
Though others boast of their railroad speed,
The rattling cars, and the whistles scream,
And look with pride on the iron stccd,
With lungs of fire, and breath of steam,
sigh again for the golden day,
When, up the green, with its merry load.
The old stage came, as it held tho sway,
A monarch, proud, Of the turnpike road,
Then, no! &c.

With my Nelly by my side,
With nay bluseyed gentle Nelly,
For she was my sweet young bride.

Though the time has long gone by,
When wooed my gentle Nelly,
While my heart beat warm and high.
All, loved my light haired Nelly,
And she fondly loved me too,
Aud We hoped that thus together
We might pass lfe's journey through.
Three short years she linger'd near mo,
Three short years of peace and bliss,
Then she calmly, softly left me,
For better world than this.
Twas one morn in early summer,
That they came for her to 60,
They were angels bright that took her,
But they left me here below.
'Tis in vain that have riches,
Or that fame should wreathe my brow,
For my pale, dear Nelly's loft me,
And I'm sad and lonely now.

THE FIRST NAPOLEON ON THE STEAM

ted that Napoleon |. contempsuously re-
jected Fulton's proposal to apply steam
power to tho propulsion of vessels, and
even pronounced Fulton charlatsn."
This vulgar error has at length been
conclusively refuted by tho publication
of NJ. Rapetti, in tho Moniteur Of tho
18th ult., Of the following lOtter, which
foims part Of the forthcoming Napoleon
Correspondence"

Be that as it may, it is my desire that
you forthwith intrust the examination
Of it to a commission composed of mem.
bers to be chosen by you from the diff
ferent classes Of the Institute. It is to
that body that scientific Earopo should
look for judges competent to solve the
problem in question. A great truth-a
physical, palpabls fact--is apparent to
me. 1t is now the businessof these sci
entifc men to perceive, and to endeavor
to appreciate that fact. Their report as

A PILLS.
FOR ALI THR PURPOSES ora
FAMILY PHYSIC

THERE has long existed puh,ie demand Cor an
saeetive purgatve pin which could be relied on as
sure and perfectly safe in it operation. This has
been prepared TO meet that demand, and an exten-
sive trial of is virtues has e0nelusively shown with
what success acc0mplishes the purpose designed.
u Is easy % nake physical piA, but not easy ~
Fnake he best Of al pills-o one which should have
every other. This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit 70
ake public decision. II has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every pprgaiiEs
medicine IS acrimonious and irritating 70 the bow.
els This is not Many OF them produce 50 much
gripping pain and revulSi0n in the system as TO more
than counterhalanoe the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation or pain,
unless il arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton or Arrangement in the bowels Being purely
vegetable, no harm can agise fr0m their use " any
quantity but il is better that any medicine should
be taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several diseases to which they ap-
plieable are given on the box. AIpopg the COM
plants which have been speedily cured BY them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, In its various forms
of Jaundiee, Indigestion Langpor and Loss Of Ap
petite, Iistlessness, lrritablity, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Aaue, Pain in the Side
and Loins; for IN truth al these are but the con
sequence Of diseased action in the liver. As an
aperient, they afford prompt and sure relief IN Cos
fveness, Piles, Colic, Dysentery Humors, Scrof-
mia and Scuryy, Colds with soreness Of the body,
Ulcers and impunty Of the blood in short, any
and every case where purgative Is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessfnl cures IN Rheumatism, Gout, DTopsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, PalpitatOn Of the Heart, Pains in thG
Back, stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring Of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe
lite and vigoF. They purify the blood, and, by thet
stiInulant action on the eireulatory system, reno
vate the strength Of the body, and restore the
wasted diseased energies Of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose Is advantageous, even
though no serious arrangement exists; but un-
necessary dosing should never be carried too far
as every purgatiye medicine reduces the strength,
when taken 70 excess. The thousand cases in which
aphysic is required cannot be enumerated here, bu
they suggest themselves to the reason Of ever
body; and II Is confidently believed this pill vii
answer better purpose than any thing which hai
hitherto been available 10 mankind. When thei
virtues are once known, the public will no longG
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of |
cathartic medicine.
