Diptheria and lis Cure.

Simple and EGcaciOus Remedy for
The DiseaSe.-Thls singular disease,
which has thus far seemed 10 bsffie the

so prevalent and has been so generally IA

prostralion Of the entire system, and al
others by neither Of these symptoms, YET
in either case it is equally fatal. TO ar
rest the formation Of this membrane would
therefore seem equivalent 10 curing this
disease, and this in most instances may
be done in the following manner:
In the early stages Of the complaint
which is always accompanied by sore
ness and swelling Of the throat, let the pa
iient use a simple solution Of salt and va

some ionic or slinulsnt, either seperstely,

is extremely simple. and if used in the

BY LETTlE LEE.

FleeCy clouds are fleeing,
Across The AulUmndl sky ;
And glorious leaves ere dropping,
Waning US DEATH is nigh.
The summer rose is dropping
It's bcanreous hlushing head,
And sumner birds are singing
A Lirge o'er natures dead.
Bat man with thoughlless mirth,
Casts DER this scene, his eye;
Forgets the God who gave him birth,
And that he too must die.
Alas alas unhappy youth
That thus you should roam
Unmindful Of rhe glorious truth,
Our father calls US home
$40 the green fields Of Eden"
Where shines the immortal Son A;
Der the golden stream Of heaven,
Where sorrows will never come.

Facts for the Border States TO Consider.
The New York Herald, OF yesterday,
submits, for the consideration Of The Peo-
pie Of the border States, the following
pregnant suggestions
In this Black Republican scheme OF fu'
,ure policy nothing is said Of the fate OF
the Southern negro population. what,
then, is to become Of the four millions OF
slaves whose enforced industry now con-
stimles the prosperity Of the South, and
whose domestic suhircuon forms the safe
ty of Southern society : With their llb.
Grafton, whether sudden or gradual, all
existing material interest in the South
must fall, The present society break up,
and both whites and blacks seek Olhrr
scenes Of livelihood.
II the prosperity Of the Northern com
munIlies survives, these must inevitably
be overrun by the ourpourlngs Of the elgh,
millions of impoverished whites, and four
millions of ignorant and uncontrolled ne.
eroes, whose former social ties and ma
teIiaI interests would be destroyed. In
such an exodus from the South, Penn
Isylvania and all the central free States,
would be the first TO be overrun by the
newly emanclpaled and IndoIcnt blacks
Whoever has contemplated the negro in
any other light than as fit subject for
political agitation knows what would be
lhe result.
The rural districts would be overun
with lhieving negroes; crops. orchards,
gardens and farmyards would be the
scenes Of their constant depredations, and
the industrious inhabitants would be de.
spoiled Of the fruits Of their industry in
every way The towns and villages
would be filed with a paUper and occu-
palionIess population thai would eat ouI
their substance and oyeEburlhen them
with poor rates for their support. The
border free States would be sble TO free
themselves from these results only by an
inhuman inli.negro legislation and the
constant maintenance OF yigiIant and cost.
