Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over a large part Of the
globe, is the consequence of a diseased action IN the
system, induced by the poisonous miasm of vegetable
decay. This exhalation is evolved by the action Of solar
heat on wet soil, and rises with the watery vapor from
it.. While the sun is below the horizon this yapor
fingers near the earth's surface, and the virus Is taken
with it through the lungs into the blood. There it acts
as an irritating poison on the internal viscera and e1,
creting organs of the body. The liver becomes torpid
and fails to secrete not only this virus, but also the bile
from the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitutional
disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the stomach
sympathize with the liver, and become disordered also.
Finally, the instinct of our organism, as if IN an attempt
to expel the noxious infusion, concentrates the whole
blood of the body in the internal excretories to force
them to cast it out. The blood leaves the surface, and
rushes to the central organs with congestive violence.
This is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the central
organs and rushes to the surface, as if in another effort
to expel the irritating poison through that othsr great
excretory-the skin. In this also it fails, and the sys-
tenn abandons the attempt exhausted, waiting for the
recovery of strength to repeat the hopeless effort another
day. These are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND
AeuE. Such constitutional disorder will of course un-
dermine the health if it is not removed.
We have labored to find, and have found, an anti6ote,

NELSON LEES ACCOUNT OF WHAT He SAW
AMONG THE CAMANcHEs.-The Albany
Knickcrbocker notices the return to that city of
Nelson Lee, who was taken prisoner by the
Camanche Indians in 1856, near Eagle Pass,
while on his way from Texas to California
He furnishes the following:
Lees life was spared because the Indians
could not manage repeating watch which he
carried. The watch saved his life. In the
Camanche camp Mr.. Lee found no less than
twenty eight captured white women and some
thirty or forty children. A day or two after he
arrived in camp, they massacred an English
woman, named Ann Haskin, in most cruel
manner They tied her naked to tree, and,
in the presence of her two daughters, Mar
garet and Harriet Haskin, inflicted the most
revolving cruelties upon her. Before Mrs.
Haskin was finally dispatched, she was tortur-
ed for nearly half day, during which time
the Indians became excited with liquor, and
danced about her like demons. They took
sharp pieces of flint and cut her flesh in ell
possible directions. Mrs. III. and her daught-
ers were captured while on theirway to the Nor
mon settlement at Salt Lake The daughters
still remain with the Indians Their ages are
IL and 10. Lee made his escape in the follow
ing manner. He was accompanying the chief
of the Camanches to a lodge some miles dis
tant. During the tramp they met party of
Indians the Indians gave the chief skin
filed with liquor The chief drank of the
spirits and became excited. Arriving at a
creek he dismounted and stopped down to
drink At this moment Lee seized his toma-
hawk, split his head open, and killed him in
stantly. He then took the chiefs rife mount
ed the chiefs horse, and put for Mexico
When he reached Mexico he was completely
naked, while his feet and legs were so swollen
from being cut by the cactus plant, that he
could only ride some eight miles day. The
last hundred miles he did on foot his horse
having died of exhaustion. The Mexicans
treated him very kindly, and gave him money
and clothing to reach home. The clothes he
now wears in Albany are those given him by
the Mexieans.

MIND
BY wM. EEGGETT.

Let others praise the hue
That mantles on thy face,
Thine eyes of heavenly blue,
And mien of faultless grace;
These charms freely own,
But still higher find;
Twill last when oeauty's flown,
Thy matchless charm of mind.
The damp of years may quench
The brightness of thine eye;
Times icy hand may blanch
Thy cheeks vermillion dye;
Thy form may lose its grace,
fhy voice its sweet control;
But naught can e'er efface
The be-, utie5 of thy soul.
What's beauty but flower
That blooms in Eumners ray3
When pours the winL.,y shoWer,
Its charms will fade away'
The minds a rich perfume,
That winter cannot chill;
The flower may lose its bloom,
But fragrance fingers still.
Stars gem the vault of heaven.
When days last hues decline;
As darker grows the even,
With brighter ray they shine;
Thus, in the night of years,
When youths gay light is DER,
More bright the soul appears
Than e'er it shone before.
The leaves when autumn busters,
Forsake the tree and die,
But, falling, show rich clusters
OF fruitage to the eye;
Thus time, in flying, snatches
The beauty, but displays
One charm that all o'ermatches-
A soul that ne'er decays.

THERE USED TO BE.

There used to be small foot climbing stair !;
There used be blithestep running here and there;
The memory of a sweet voice fingers my ear;
1t mocks thelonely silence ever ringing here!
We had a little plaything in garden bowers;
We loved little white hand plueking garden flow
Then tree, and shrub, and blossom, well-known
friends became,
And welcome were the spring birds coupled with his
name.
I used to feel soft hand patting my cheek;
used to kiss two soft lips-oved to hear them speak,
Then merry the playing on our parlor floor;
Now naught is left but silence-silence evermore-

MONEY, MONEY.

The sacred writer did not design to "set the
poor against the rich" when he penned that
eternal truth-FsThe love of money is the root
Of an evil" It petrifes the heart, dries up
the milk of human kindness and makes man
a stranger to his follow man. All the charities
and courtesies of life-all the delicate sympa-
thies of humanity, are locked up in the icy en-
brace of this master passion. Principle, honor,
honesty, courage, purity, all are swallowed up
and lost in the love of money. Make men as
temperate and chaste as angels-throw around
them all the conventional restraints of social
life, and mammon shall still people He'll with
victims of avarice. You will see men breaking
the ties of home and kindred, forsaking long
cherished moral and religious principles-and
turning their backs upon all which mankind
ordinarily hold near and dear, for money
You'll see them Drawing the perils of the land
and of the sea, the cold of the frigid zone, and
the heat of the torrid, for money-You'll see
them battering health, happiness, nay, life it
self, for gold. You'll see them deliberately
choosing damnation, and refusing Heaven, for
filthy lucre.
This is the demoniac spirit with which the
Democracy have to contend. The age of
chivalry, of high souled patriotism, of gener-
Gus emotion, of noble, godlike philanthropy,
has passed away. A sordid, filthy, miserly
spirit, which sticks at no means good or bad,
fair or foul, to uphold the base tyranny of mon
ey-has reared its gorgen head against the
spirit of liberty
God in his infinite mercy grant, that Ameri-
can freedom may be saved in this time of trial,
and that the hopes of humanity may not be ut
terly lost in this tremendous conflict with the
subtlest and fercest foe liberty ever had on
earth.

hoar-frost was there to wipe away-that one
night of horror had added forty years. to his age!
In the course of that day numbers who had
heard of Gabriers adventure crowded to the
inn, and sought to see him, but none were adj
mitted save the three who sat continually by
his bedside-his weeping young sister, the
brave Arnold, and Master joss, the most
happy of all; for his conscience ceased not to
say, in voice that qcould be heard "you
alone are the cause of all this !" By way of a
little selfcomfort the sacristan used to exclaim
at intervals: 'If / only had hold of that
Lawrence! IF I once had that Ottkar by the
throatp' But both worthless kept carefully out
of sight; nor were they ever again seen in the
fair city of Vienna.
e'Ah!" said Gabriel, toward evening otis
all over between me and Annie She would
shudder at the sight of an old, wrinkled, gray
haired fellow like me-" -
No one answered his sister hid her face on
the pillow, while her bright ringlets mingled
with his poor gray locks; and Arnold's hand
some face grew very sad as he thought ''The
poor fellow is right; there are few things that
young girls dislike more than gray hairs and
yellow wrinkles"
"I have one request to make of you all,
dear friends said Gabriel painfully raising
himself on his couch: "do not let Annie know
a word of this. Write to her that am dead,
i IL
into the forest, and let the wolves cat me if
they will. want to save her from pain"
GA fine way, indeed, to save Annie from
pain cried well known voice, while light
| figure rushed toward the bed, and clasped the
poor sufferer in close long embrace. Only
own true fove! you were never more beauti-
full in my eyes than now, And pretend that
you're dead! A likely story, while every child
in Vienna is talking of nothing but my poor
boys adventure. And let yourself be eaten
by the wolves No, no, Grbriel you won't
treat your poor Annie so cruelty as that! !''
A regular hail storm of kisses followed; and
it is said-how truly 1 know not-that some
how in this general melee Arnold's lips came
into wonderfully close contact with the rosy
ones of Gabriels little sister. Certainly he
was heard the next day to whisper in his
friends GA fair exchange is no robbery,
my love: L think if you take my sister, the
least you can do is to give me yours"
1t does not appear that any objection was
made in any quarter. Love and hope proved
wonderful physicians, for although GabriePs
hair to the end of his life remained as white
as snow, lis cheeks and eyes, ere the wedding
dav arrived. had resumed their former tint and
brightness. A flsrrrnv nieen was Master Joss on
the day that he gave his SSless;ng to the young
couples-the day when Gabr1eips soretned
love found its reward in the hand of his Annie

remained true to his promise. His wife put on
her bonnet and shawl, and he said he would
remain and "keep house."
"What will you do while am gone?'-
Emma asked.
'soh, I shall read and sing, and enjoy my
self generally. a
The wife went out and the husband was left
alone. He had an interesting book, and he
began to read it. He read till eight o'clock,
and then he began to yawn and look frequent
ly at the clock. The book did not interest
him as usual. Ever and anon he would come
to passage which he knew would please his
wife, and instinctively he turned as though he
would read it loud, but there was no wife to
hear it. At half past eight he rose from his
chair and began to pace the floor and whistle.
Then he went and got his flute and played
several of his fayorite airs. After this he got
