ltis world of wonders nobody can
deny, we take up the periodical of the
day with the expectancy of reading some
new theory or discovery. as well as see-
ing news in the abstract. The trans
atlantic electric cable. at the time we
write, is fast expanding from its central
point In mid-ocean 10 its two "lermnI'
on land, TO link the hemispheres but at
the same time that we justly look upon
this as convincing proof of the great
"march of intellect" we must not lose
sight Of another and no less grea! palpa-
hle evidence of what giant intellect, sim
gle-handed, can accomplish. THOMAS
HOLLOWAY, whose name las the great
medical dictator of the present age) 1t
needs no submarine telegraph 10 herald
from one cline to another. has, by means
Of his two remedies, Pill and an Oint-
ment long established chain of commu-
Lnicating agencies around the globe, with
out having recourse however to the aid OF
electricity or a metal wire. As the poet
has designated man TO be but "a link in
the great chain Of causation," so may
Holloway be said, through the instrument
tality of his aIl-powerful remedies, TO
have organized a Universal DiSpensary
or the sick of all nations without regard
creed or color, whether civilized or
avage, simple in their all-sufficiency,
nd within The reach of all.
What has led to these remarks at the
present was visit we paid some time
lnce 10 DR.. Holloway's establishment in
New York, and the inspection with which
we were then favored Of some Of the in
Vulnerable proofs Of his vast enterprise,
ceivabe extent 10 which his labors have
extended, and the consequent universal
acceptallon Of his twin-remedles as speci-
fics for internal and external disease-pa-
ges might be written in adducing proofs
of this, but one will serve 10 elucidate the
fact i'll the present instance sufficient to
convince The most scepllc. In proportion
as countries are di,linct and diversified,
so are tie means of reaching all the scat
tered members of the human family diff
cul, to accomplish. To do this, il would
be necessary to employ an almost Pen
,ecssta" array of different tongues. Ac-
cordihgly, in almos, living language, has
this enMVprising man made known his
mission fp suffering humanity, and in no
less than thirty distinct dialects have the
wondrous properties OF his medicines
been actually printed, thus in their own
tongue enabling millions to apply TO their
own peculiar cases these all powerful Gu
ratlves.

SPURGEoN AND THE $4,000 OFFER
great deal of nonsense has been uttered,
both in and out Of print, in regard 10 the
proposed visi, Of Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon TO
this country. The real facts of the case.
as derived from the very best authority,
are said by well informed correspondent
TO be simply and briefly these :
1t is true that Rev. Sidney A. Corey,
of the Eighteenth street Baptist Church,
New York, proceeded TO London few
weeks since with view TO induce Mr.
Spurgeon TO visit America. Ii is true that
Mr.. Spurgeon has agreed, on certain con-
ditions, TO come within two or three
months from this time f.; und as 1t is like
wise true that the conditions In question
will be, if they are no. now, complied
with, the coming of the distinguished
stranger may BIZ looked upon as I'm fat
uccOmpi.
But il is not true that Rev. Mr.. Corey
is interested IN the matter 10 the extent oi
Of one dollar or one cent, and the pecunl-
ary interest Of Mr.. Spurgeon in the matter
is of no greater magnitude. The former
has done good work, for the good OF the
church, and not with view OF promoting
any private speculation of his own, while
lhe dlsinteres,edness of the latter is 100

he cumes here merely TO "Pus money IN

MAIDEN RESOLUTION

Oh a.! III tell you of a fellow
Of a fellow have seen,
Who Is neither white nor yellow,
But he's altogether green
He has told me Of a cottage,
OF cottage 'mong the trees,
And would you think the fellow
Tumbled down upon his knees
Then his name il isn't charming,
For i's only common BILL,
And he wishes me TO wed him,
But | hardly think | will
While The tears the creature wasted
Were enough to turn mill
And he begged me 10 accept him,
Butt hardly think l will.
Oh ! he WHISPERED Of DEVOTION
Of devotion pure and deep;
But il seemed so very silly
That | nearly fell asleep
And he ssid il would be pleasant.
AS we journeyed down the hill,
To 90 hand in hand together,
But hardly think | @ill.
He was here last night to see me,
Ard made so long stay,
| began to think The blockhead
Never meant TO 60 away
AT first learned to hate him,
And ! know | hate him still,
Yet he urges me 10 have him,
But hardly think l will.
I'm sure | wouldn't choose him,
But the very deuce is in 1t,
For he says if | refuse him
That he couldn't live minute;
Now this is very shocking,
For we are taught we mustn't KILL
So I've thought the matter over,
And | think I'll marry Bill.

THRILLING VERSES.

The circumstances which induced the
writing of the following touching and
thrilling lines are as follows: A young
lady in New York was in the habit of
writing for the Philadelphia Ledger on
the subject Of Temperance. Her writing
was SO full OF pathos, and evlnced such
deep emotion of soul, that friend Of hers
accused her of being maniac, on the sub.
ject of Temperance-whereupon she
wrote the following lines
Go feel what have felt,
Go bear what | have borne-
Sink meath the blow father dealt,
And this cold worlds proud scorn
Then suffer on from year TO year
Thy sole relief the scorching tear.
Go kneel as | have knelt,
lmplore, beseech and pray
Strive the besoled heart to melt,
The downward course TO stay
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesque, your tears defed.
Go weep as | have wepi,
O'er a loved fathers fall
See every promised blessing swept
Youths sweetness turned 10 gall
Life's fading flowers s,rewed all the way,
rha! brought me up 10 woman's day.
Go see what have seen,
Behold the strong man bowed
With gnashing teeth lips bathed in blood,
And cold and livid brow
Go catch his wthered glance and see,
There mirrored his souls misery.
Go to thy mothers side,
And her crushed bosom cheer:
Thine own deep anguish hide
Wipe from her cheek the bitter tear
Mark her worn frame and wilhered brow;
The gray that s;reaks The dark hair now.
With fading frame and trembling limbs :
And trace the ruin back TO him,
Whose plighted faith in early youth,
Promised eternal love and truth,
But who fores worn, hath yielded up,
That promise TO the cursed cup;
And led her down, through love and light
And all that made her prospects bright,
And chained her there, mid want and strife
That lowly thing, a drunkard's wife
And stamped on childhood's brow so mild,
That wilh'ring bligh,,.he drunkard's child.
Go hear, and feel, and see, and know,
All that my soul hath felt and known,
Then look upon the wine cups glow,

You are getting old and gray, Mag,

And sllVery hairs reveal.

And ask NE what | mean
You dye your hair, YOU know you dc

And when you even smile. Nag,
The dimpI Ies on your iace
Reveal the ldct that wrinkles
Will soon dispute their place
Your teeth are white It's true, Mag,
And heard your dentist say
A better sci he never sold
You needn't turn your head away.
Your cheeks are red as roses, Mag,
Your brow and neck are fair
Both Rouge and Lilly White, see,
Have lent assistance there.
Crows feet are near your eyes, Mag
Remove them if you can
By any artificial means
AS yet unknown to man.
You know you're thirty-fve, Mag,
Then why dispute your age !

And you'll be married yet.

"Let us all be Friends"

No sort Of quarreling pays. 1t is al
ways more profitable TO have the good
will and the good opinion of any man than
to count him an enemy. The humblesl
man has some influence, and il is far bet
Ter 10 have that on our side than against
US. II we quarrel with one who cannot
himself aid or iniure rs, lie may have rel
atives or friends whose good word might
one day be useful. Or if he is such
perfect .outsider' as 10 have neither friend,
relative or influence, il seems like a
small business TO quarrel with so iorlorn
an individual. AmIability is so lovely
virtue that men insIinctively admire its
fortunate possessor, and when he comes
in contact with ross-gralned, quarrel
some individual, his own good nature
shines more brightly by reason Of the con
trast.
We may safely promise largely in
creased enjoyment 10 him who becomes
reconciled TO an old foe. II is not wise
to nurse quarrel and keep it warm by
broodng over real or imaginary injuries.
And the road TO peace is very plain and
straight if we have been hasiy, or unkind.
or inconsiderae, there is roihing SO man
ly and honorable as a prompt acknowl-
edgment Of our fault or TOlIy, and but a
brute will refuse profferad reconciliation.
On the other hand, if we have been in
iured, lie, US remember that we also need
pardon for many offences. and we will
find il hard 10 withhold our forgiveness.

AFRAID OF INTERNAL MACHINES Abiding to the
threatening rumors of vengeance to be taken for
the hanging Of Old Brown and his associates, the
Richmond Enquirer says: q
When all chances for making o successful rescue
fail the Abolt0nists they will try to get satisfac-
ton for the deaths of the miserable beings at
Charlestown, by sending parcels of death-dealng
and explosive materials to the most prominent par
ties in Virginia, who were in favor Of the letter Of
the law being strictly carried out in regard to the
condemned prisoners.
These !" torpedoes,'' or Internal machines are
generally made up in most deceptive packages,
and labeled to prevent all suspicion Of danger
on the part of the receiver. The latter naturally
undoes the package in hurry, and, in pulling off
the lid or cover, starts some concealed spring or
other igniting continuance, and the whole affair ex-
plodes, with the sound and fury of bomb-shell
dealing death and destruction around
Such killing conception is truly wosthy of the
fanatcal demons who would lend money, means
and succor to incite Southern slaves to rise in
rebellion, with midnight dagger, poison and incen-
diary torch to destroy their owners and protect
ors with our wives and children.
In good truth, if such be the state of feeling
among the Abolitionists, we may henceforth look
upon every bale and parcel of Northern manufact-
ures brought among us, g torpedor that will
conduce to destroy independence and pr1 ctical
selfreance in Virginia. While the parcels first
alluded to may destroy life of man. the latter ones
will destroy liberty Of mind and Of progressive
utilitarianism. fs5 - ~

A SUSPICIOUS VEssEL.-A dispatch of the Inst

small steamer ran into this inlet on Wednes-
day last, and still remains at anchor. Only one
person came ashore from her, and in answer to
questions put to him, stated that the steamer was
from New York, bound to Havana, having been
purchased by the Spanish Government, and that
she put into the inlet in consequence of head-wnds
There seemed to be quite number of men on hoard,
and as she still remains, notwithstanding the calm
weather, some Of our citizens suspect her of being
in the hands of the ibusers. Her sides are painted
black, with white stripes.
