Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu-
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section Of country abounds in persons pub
icly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial. conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.

From the Western Christian Advocate.
Anticipated InsurrectiOn.

The editor of this paper and the agents
of the Western Book Concern, are indicted
in one of the counties of Virginia, for pub
fishing and circulating matter calculated to
produce an insurreclion among the slaves.
The matter complained of was something
in the Western Christian Advocate, some
time last fall.
We learn from reliable authority, that in
the county aforesaid there are fourteen
slaves in all. 1t is but reasonable to sup
pose that in this number there may be tUo
adult men and tuo adult women. On the
supposition that these men are the hus-
bands of these women, and that the re-
manning ten slaves are the children of these
two women and these two men, we have
two families, each containing five children,
who may at any time rise up in rebellion,
and murder, kill, slay, put to death, and
otherwise take the lives of the white inhab-
itants of the county aforesaid. We are
sorry that anything we have said or writ
ten, or caused to be said or written, should
induce these t0o colored men, and taoo COL
ored women, and ten colored children to
rise up and put to death the citizens of the
county aforesaid, and thus be guilty of in
surreetion and civil war against the United
States of America, and bring upon our age
and nation calamities, with which Don
Quixote's encounter with the windmill: or
Homer's battle of the frogs and mice dwin-
dies into insignifcaEce.

Terrible Scene in Toledo.

The Toledo Times makes leader of an
incident which occurred at the 4th Ward
poll in that city. on election day, "when it
was evident to any observer that breach
of peace was being stirred up" as the edi-
tor of the Times fguratively expresses #.
Some one it seems was assaulting the com
monwealth on the person of its seryitor, Dep
uty U. s. Marshal, VIM. s. Johnston" who
was considerably thumped and bruised. He
drew pistol, but instead of being fright
ened by this display of deadly arms, the
people "made a rush" upon "Deputy U.
S. Marshal, VIM. Johnston" The Times
says:
"When the rush was made, four posi-
tion almost above the crowd affording US
clear view of the contest,) he told them
to keep back showing good blood in every
move. The next thing they closed upon
him, and while one held him around the
neck, another caught him by the beard,
and handled it as if it were an engine
brake. Our blood boiled-then the report
of pistol rung out-and there was q scat
tering, which was only momentary, how
ever.
Nobody can deny that the conduct of
"Deputy US. Marshal, VIM 8. Johnston"
was valiant and highly proper under the
circumstances; while it was not proper,
but on the contrary for the crowd to take
him by the beard, and handle it as if that
capillary substance were an engine brake
1t was wrong, we say, and We are not at
all surprised that the sanguinary fluids of
the editor of the Times "boifed." There
are men, who would have pitched in to
help friend under such circumstance, but
tho editor only seethed privately, in his
position almost above the crowd"
Nobody was hurt by the pistol shot
We cannot do better than conclude in the
words of the Times:
We are not the advocates of yielding to
the bloody code, except clearly in sslfde-
fense, and unless man IS driven to the
last cxtremity-if Mr.. ]. had done less un-
der the circumstances, we should have
doubted his blood, as it is, we no longer
have to guess Tit. We do not propose to
enlarge upon the provocation nor use the
names of those instrumental in bringing the
matter about. 1t Is a kind of transaction
we hope never to sec repeated, except for
the most abundant cause, neither in this
city, nor anywhere else.
A bowie knife was picked up on the
sidewalk by W. T. Hall, ESQ.,, probably
dropped by some one, during the excite
ment ofthe moment. 1t is almost Won
der that peace and quiet were so soon re-
stored. 1t was settler of differences and
cooler of the blood for the day, such as
we never looked upon before.

PERPETUAL SUNsH1NE.-Bayard Taylor,
who last summer made journey to the
North Cape, wrote fiom Hammerfast, Fin
mark, his impression of the continuous po-
lar daylight Of the Arctic latitude, from
which we extract the following: 81 am
tired of this unending daylight, and would
willingly exchange the pomp of the Arctic
midnight for the starlight darkness of home.
We are confused by the loss of night: we
lose the perception of time. One is never
sleepy, but simply tired, and after sleep
of eight hours by sunshine, wakes up as
tired as ever. His sleep at last is broken
and irregular; be substitutes a number Of
short maps, distributed through and finally
gets into state Of general uneasiness and
dist omfort. A Hammerfast merchant who
has made frequent voyages to Spitzbergen,
told me that in the latitude of so degrees
he never knew certainly whether it was day
or night and the cook was the only person
who could tell him.
At first the nocturnal sunshin strikes
you as being wonderfully convenient. You
lose nothing of the scenery; you can read
and write as usual, you never need be in a
hurry, because there is time enough for
everything. 1t is not necessary to do your
days work in the day time, for no night
eometh. You have, nevertheless, some
what of the stress of life thrown off your
shoulders.
There is no compulsive rest, such as dark
ness brings-no sweet isolation which is
the refreshment of sleep. You lie down
in the broad day, and the summons "arise"
attends on the re-opening of your eyes,
l never went below and saw my fellow pas
sengers all around me without a sudden
feeling that something was wrong, that
they. were drugged Or under some unnatur-
al influence, that they thus slept so fast
while the sunshine streamed in through
the port holes.
There are some advantages of this north
ern summer which have presented them
selves to me in rather a. grotesque light.
Think what an aid and shelter is removed
from crime-bow many vices which can
only flourish in the deceptive atmosphere
of night, must be checked by the sober re-
alities of daylight! No assassin can dog
the steps of his victim; no burglar can work
in sunshine; no guilty lovers can hold SOL
enm interviews by moonlight-all conceal
nent is removed, for the sun, like the eye
of God. sees everything, and the secret vi
ces of the earth must be bold, indeed if
they can boar His gaze. Morally, as well
as physically, there is safety in light and
danger in darkness-and yet give me the
darkness and danger! Let the patrolling
sun 60 off his berth for awhile, and show
little confidence in my ability to behave
properly, rather than worry me with his
sleepless vigilance.
