THE LAST DEVILS WALK.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

From his birthstone bed at break of day
evil has walking gone
To tramp and char the flowers to death.
TO infest the air with his pestilent breath,
And to cloud the morning sun.
And, pray, how was this devil dress'd?
Oh he was cased N an iron vest;
HIS scales were close, and his rivets true,
win never clank for a spear to get through.
And over the hill, an over the dale,
He walked, and over the u. ain
ana an ar-gun, elegant polished, and round,
That would XIII miles off, with never a sound,
He twirld, like a harmless cane
And over the laurels Of full blown Fame.
Ana the tender shoots of the young Good Name,
He stamp'd with his rnercilrss boof of shame
And he left his print on each
And backward and forward he wrigged his tail
Through rose-trimm'i garden and llly-strewn vale
Marking his course by alOathsome trail,
Like a snail-track over a peach.
He spied a laborer hard at work
Early at his vocati
His prominence Offer Il a CAPITAL shot
"Oho ~ quoth the devil, she sees me not"
So he shoul er'd his piece and he aimed Got wot
With terrible cslculation
He saw young innocent folks at play,
Blameless, beautiful, ise and gay,
The prospect liked not him,
So vitrol flask from his pouch he drew,
q ucEeilSH uecu j anu tiie nqutu Threw
O'er the fair young group, whom ne left a crew
OF monsters scarr'd and grim.

Of time and weather had stood the chance,
And was still erect and fair,
Aha!' quoth the devil, "the pile looks well,
bot f'e fireworks studied for nothing in hell,

May lead to combustion there"

Its whereabouts few can tou Ho"
But the devil had done his worL ,h.
So he crawled him back for his rnon.,,y, uay,
Which he royalty spent in a ioyial va pay
With tn lowest devils in hell n.y.
"There are many devils that walk this uor,a
Devils great and devils small
Devils with tails and devils without ~
Devils who whisper, devils who shout,
Devils who mystify devils who teach;
But the CALUMNY DBvHL-as hard to reach

strange things, but not one that has left a
deeper impression on my memory than the
dull, impassive way in which that worn-out
heap of misery took that piece of money ,and

concourse. When the last of the five had got
up and faded away, the spectators opened to
let US pass, and not one of them, by word or
look, or gesture, begged ofus. Many Of the
observant faces were quick enough to know
that it would have been relief to us to have
got rid OF tie rest of the money with any
hope of doing good with it. But there was
feeling among us all that our necessities were
not to be placed by the side of such a spec
tacle and they opened way for US in pro-
found silence and let us go.

Mob near New York City...DestructiOn
of the Quarantine Station.

The following intelligence by telegraph
from New York, indicates an anarchical con-
dition of public sentiment and private action
in that vicinity:
New YORK, Sept. 8.
The Quarantine station at Staten Island
was attacked last night by mob of 100 men,
and several of the buildings fired. The large
hospital and buildings, the buildings used for
yellow fever patients, and DR.. Thompson's
private residence, were entirely destroyed.
Several other small buildings on the prem
ises were also burned. DIR. Thompson rallied
force of so men and endeavored to protect
his dwelling, but they were all driven out.
One man cf the Doctors party was shot dead.
Before firing the fever hospitals, the mob
removed the patients to a distance, laying
them on the ground.
No intelligence of this outrage reached the
of harbor police was dispatched to the scene,
but they arrived too late to be of service
The inmates of the quarantine together
with the physician and all, fled, fearing the
mob intended to take their lives
LATER-It is ascertained that the burning

Beard of Health at Castleton also posted
handbill, signed by their chairman ard secre-
tary, in which the quarantine was denounced
as nuisance too intolerable 10 be borne. and

selves, by abating it without delay.
The plan was to burn all the b .ild.ngs. and
placing the sick in barge, tow them to the
city and leave them anchored off the Battery

A PROCLAMATION
TO 7 H E L A DIE S.

Whereas, it appears that the days of right,
honor, and integrity are fest fading away,

tain panacea for the troubles incident to fe-
male disorganizatiou; they alone correcting
all painful menstruation, assuaging palpita-
tions ofthe heart, disturbed sleep, pain IN the
side. and causing health and happiness to the
whole sex more especially TO the married
portion, as they are certain to bring on the
monthly period with regularity. And where
as, these Pills are purely vegetable and en-
tirely free from minerals, therefore perfectly
harmless in their operations and " holly uD-
like other medicines thrust upon the public,
purporting to effect the objects already de-
tailed. Therefore, be it known, that nothing
but the said Pills of DR.. CheesmGn will ac-
bompish the desired object. when dis0ppo'nt-
ment has been experienced under the regime
of other Pills; and the LADIES will cause
this Proclamation 10 spreaG amongst them, to
their own everlasting benefit-alWays pre'nI-
sing that said Proclamation in one case must
be considered null and void that is TO say,
that the Pills must not be taken when any
female is in AN Interesting situation, other

suit.

To THE PUBLIC. The extraordinary
course pursued by rival managers of diff
ferent Lotteries to iDjure US because oul
liberal shemes, and prompt mannor Of do
ing business has materially affected them
compels US to call special attantion te
the facts, which all who deal with us
know already; that is, that our Lotteries
are legal; the managers and trustees hon.
est and honorable men; that we have sold
more prizes 10 the last twelve month than
all other Lotteries in the Union, and that
they have been promptly cashed in all Ca
ses on presentation.
The effort to injure US is aimed not on
ly at our business by our rivals, but is
also intended to act politically oo one OF
our partners; and We assure our friends
and the public that WITH OUR CONCERN
ALL is RIGHT, aud this, the legal investi
CATION which we shall urge to hearing.

our business will be conducted as usual
