!. Sc Closds have silver linings,"
q Thus the poet sings
81 Tostifc vain repinings,
AID silence murmurings:
: But in the cloud above me
No !" siirer" do see;
Now, Poet, 60 an you love me,''
Prithee! shew il unto me!
The words which you have spoken
Perhaps are very true;
Yet until the cloud is broken,
And the sunlight peepeth thro',
This thought of &c siluer Innings"
But awakens fresh repininys;
For You must surely see, sir sy's,-'7 'e p
Though truthful you may be sir
That the dark side is for me- sir
While the bright side is for you.
Even were its lining golden,
If it may not be bcholden,
Pray tell me! Mr.. Poet, ...r
Is it comforting to know it
Unless you mean to show it?
Your well-meant information E
Has naught of consolation;
For the sky is none the brighter,
Nor the cloud shade the lighter -.
Unto me;
From knowing that behind it
If lean euer find it
There may be;
A Sun that shines forever,
But which ], alas may never
Chance to see.
So dark the cloud that hovers
In my sky tonight,
cannot think it covers
A single CLEAN of light;
Now prove your aphorism-
If such, indeed, it bel
Dispel my sceptcism,
Or pirate no more to me;
To drive away each shade of doubt
Pray turn the dark cloud inside out.

NINETEEN MONTHS WITHOUT FooD.-Death.-We
learn from the Albany Times that Mrs. Hayes, of
the town of Day, Saratoga county, New York, whose
case we detailed some time since, and who had lived
nineteen months without food or drink, died week
or two ago. She remained insensble for fifteen
months Ct the PERIOD and up to few days of her
DEATH when she seemed to revive, and spoke occa-
sionally. After her DEATH her body opened
and a snake five feet long and half an inch thick
was taken from the stomach. It was alive when re-
moved but died soon after. The is a very re-
markable one and it is to be regretted that it was
not subjected to scientific examination.

"By day oppressed with letters and manacles, by
night lying naked three or four in bed of straw,
without covering of any kind, rolling in filth. and
starved to desperation, the poor wretchcs, who, in
their hepessness had passed into the hands of men
whose only object was to keep them as cheaply and
as long as possible, led a life in comparison with
which that Of well-fed pig in sly seems sort Of

To the Public.

In answer to the numerous letters addressed
to me on the suhj"ct of the Mustang Lini-
ment would say that have had no connec
ton with that article TOR several years. 1t
was invented by me, and while put up under
my control and supervision, was universally
accepted by the public as the best liniment in
the world. In 1854 sold out my interest in
it to other parties, and since that time it has
passed through the hands Of several persons,
most of whom have been so INSCRIPTIONS as
TO manufacture it Of inferior and cheap arti-
Giles, and thus to entirely d stroy its value as
a medical remedy, trusting for success in sell
ing it, to its former highly established reputa-
ton. Its present proprietors have gone so
far as TO substitute other articles in its CON-
position for those in the original prescription,
so that the Mustang Liniment now vended
possesses no one Of the distinguishing charac-
teristes of the genuine article, as it was orig
inally invented and manufactured by me-
These parties, to enable themselves with more
facility TO foist their worthless and injurious
article on the public, use my name as its spon-
sor. calling it "BRAGG's'' Mustang Liniment,
and cautioning the public to beware of any
other Bragg's Liniment as an imposition.
This is done with view of exciting preju-
dice against ~BRAGG's ARCTIC LINIMENT," an
article more recently invented by me, and
possessing all the virtues of the original Mus
tang, with some improvements-th result of
experience and later discoveries and manu-
featured by Bragg d BHrrowes, which firm is
composed of my son, Oliver I. Bragg and
Michael Burrowcs. This article is superior in
many respects to the Mustang when it was
put up pure and in good faith, and is immea-
surably superior to the articI, now vended as
the Mustang Liniment. 1t is also the only
linimcnt mauufac tured to which my name is
appended by my authority or consent. In
conclusion | cannot hold myself responsible
for any Of the evil results of using the Mus
tang Liniment now vendcd, and especially
after this public disclaimer Of any connection
with its proprietorship or manufacture.

\. &. BRAGG, NJ. D.

Explosion of the Pennsyiyania.

We copy the following from the Memphis
Eagie and Enquirer Of esterday:
We have to record at the present time, pro-
badly the most terrible Steamboat accident
and loss OF life that ever occurred upon the
Mississippi. The fine steamer PCnus lSana,
commanded by Capt. klclnilter. aud plying
between ST. Louis and New Orleans, ii. she
was nearing the lower pout OF Brrd aw Is
land, seventy miles below tais c.ty Sunday
morning last, exploded two OF her boilers,
blowing the entire front portion of the boat
together with about two huudrcd OF pas
sengers-both deck aud cdbiu--hundrcds Of
feet into the air. Many of them were asleep
in their berths at the time, and were hurried,
unawekened, into eternity.
Captain kleinieiter happened 10 be in the
barber-shop at the moment, aud thereby
capped. As soon rs possible, he ordered the
anchor to be cast, but the line soon snapped,
aud the boat taking fire, fioated on down.
a woodboat was hailed; the owner, Mr.. Har-
rison, came To the Immediate rescue; the dead,
dying and wounded, and living. were put
the wood boat, save lew who cOnld not be
taken oil before the wreck took lire. At one
time the wood boat adhered TO the wreck and
apprehension was felt To the prospect OF
some two hundred being barned up. Owing.
however, to the energy and decision of pnr-
pose of a few noble and daring spirits, The
wood boat, after being separated. WAS drawn
over 10 Ship and Battle Island where they
witnessed the wr,ck burn up below them, Ia
a space of about ten inmates, and where
they remained until about l O'Clock, when
the steamer Imperial. bound for New Orleans,
was hailed and towed the wood-boat down 10
Austin.
large number of the passengers, both OF
the wounded and unhurt. remained upon the
hank, near the scene, anti ociock IN the
afternoon, when the Kate Frisbee came up,

coming up--James Doris. chief engineer
Father Dellcrop, New Orleans; \. Bautseher,
New Orleans; John Bautscher, New Orleans.
The steamer Diana, which also came 10 the
place of accident, did her part nobly.
The exact cause OF this heart-rending acct
dent, cannot be asceriained. We had sn in
tervew with Mr.. Doris, surviving brother oi
the chief engineer, who Was watch at the
time. and received his own statement, which
we have no reason Ia doubt. he rays he

After the reading of the VaIedctory which

throughout was large; immense, we might say
Monday and Tuesday nights. On the latter
