A Forcible Thought.

THE following passage Is from one OF
Henry Ward Beecher's sermons
Over the beauty of The plum and the
apricot, grows bloom and beauty more
exquisite than the fruit itself a soft, del
icate plush that oyerspreads its 5lushing
cheek. Now if you strike your hand over
that, and it is once gone, it is gone for.
ever for it never grows but once. Take
the flower that hangs in the morning,
impearled with dew-arrayed as no
Queenly woman was ever arrayed with
Jewels Once shake it, so that the beads
roll off, and you may sprinkle water over
it rs carefully rs you please, yet 1t can
never be made again what it was when
the dew fell silently from heaven On
frosty morning, you may see the panes
Of glass covered with landscapes, noun
tains, lakes, trees, blended in "A beautiful
fantastic picture. Now lay your hand
upon the glass, and by the scratch OF your
finger or by the warmth Of your palm, all
| the delicate traccry will be oblltcrated
| So there is in youth a beauty and purity
| Of character, when once touched and de.
Gled, can never be restored u fringe
more delicate than frost-work, and which
when torn and broken, will never be re
embroidered. A man who has spotted
and soiled his garments in youth, though
he may seek to make them white again
can never wholly do it, even were he tc
wash them with his tears. When young
man leaves his fathers house, with til,
blessing of his mothers tears still we
upon his forehead, if he once loses tina
early purity of character, it is II loss tha
he can never make whole again. Such i
the consequence of crime. Its effect
cannot be eradicated it can only b
forgiven.

Kossuth and His Plan.

NJ. Kossuth believes that the favorable
gary is at hand, but not vet. a London
letter Of Juue 7th to the N. Y. Times,
from u correspondent vouched for as pos
sessng means of obtaining the most re-
liable information, thus speaks Of hossuth'S
movements and plans
Kossuth, with as many Hungarians as
he can collect, starts to-day for Genoa,
where General Klapka, Colonel Kiss,
General Perczel, General Vetter, Colonel
Yacz, Colonel TeIeki, and others await
him Various are the surmises among
English Journalists as TO the conditions
existing between tic allies and the EX-
Governor Of Hungary. The facts are
these Before the outbreak Of the war,
Kossulh and Klapka. making up their old
difference, agreed to act in concert for
the benefit Of their common country, and
the mlter, on his return from Turkey,
proceeded to Paris where hp held frequent
interviews with Prince Napoleon, and
thence to Turin, where he was received
with open arms by Count Cavour, and
also presented to the King. After
sundry propositions and relusals on one
side or the other, Kossuth at last offered
to proceed 10 Genoa, and there issue n
proclamation to the IIungarians calling
on them to desert the Austrian army en-
z1osgc, he to organize the deserters into a
corps and become lis military chlci.-
When the number should reach 10000
or 20 600 he demanded that with small
division of French troops, under French
nag. he should be authorized TO cross the
Adriatic and the Austrian provinces into
Hungary, and there promote insurrecton.
The only objection made to this proposI-
ton, was, the displeasure OF England at
tive double attack on Austria without
rhyme or reason, and kossuL was urged
to make tour through the Provinces,
bending all his influence with the English
Dcople in the direction Of non-lntervenlion
Whatever turn the war ma7 take. This
course he mas been pursuing with grea
energy for some weeks, commencing IN
London with the Lord Mayor in the char,
| and concluding with Glasgow, where the
! NJ. P.'s, and that warm friend of nation
alilies, Professor NichoI, gave him every
support Meanwhile he issued an anony'
nous proclamation to the Hungarian
troops, and now he has gone to Genoa to
complete his share of the bargain
! Whatever the English Government may
think Of this arrangement, depend upon
the English people will hail with JOY an,
. event that may give brave Hungary
chance.

MEDICAL.
Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over a large part OF
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm OF
vegetable decay. This eXhalation is evolved by
the action of solar heat wet soil, and rises with
the watery vapor from II. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earths sur
face, and the virus is taken with 1t through the
lungs into the blood There it acts as an irritating
poison on the internal vscera and eXcretng organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and iails 70
secrcte not only this virus, but also the bic rom
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent consutu-
tional disorder The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct of our or
panism, as if in an attempt to expel the noXios
infusion, concentrates the whole blood OF the oooy
in the internal excretores to force them to cast II
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rusheS 70
the central organs with congcstiyc violence: Inns
is the CHILL But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows in which the blood leaves the CEN
trail organs and rushes to the surface, as II in
another effort to eXpel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory the skin. In this
also it fails, and the system abandons the attepp'
exhausted, and waits for the recovery OF strength
TO rcpeut the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms OF FEVER AND AsuH
