Luther'S Residence.

Ascending a rough, neglected stair
way, entered the room in which Lu.
ther resided after his marriage. His
old furniture is still there, on which he
sat, kind of double seat, wi. ere he
used to read and converse with his
Catharina, all Clipped and sliced by
Vandal travellers. There, too, is the
old large stove, whose plates are cov-
cred with figures of the four evange-
lists, cast after devices by Luther him
self That, fortunately, cannot be cut
into chips. A little case, protected by
glass doors, contains a number of rel
les, such as specimens of his handwrit-
ing, some old documents, and embroid-
cry worked by his wife. There are
fragments of a drinking-glass said to
have been broken by Peter the Great.
When d young man he visited Wirtem-
berg, and desired to carry away the
glass, but being refused permission, he
dashed it in pieces on the floor, an act
worthy of this naughty and passionate
Gar. There, too, is a beer-mug, Of
large size, which shows that three GEN.

the door is scrawl in chalk, protected
by glass, which may be guessed to be,

by the Gear. If so, the scribbling pro-
pensity is not confined to Americans.
In an adjoining room is the desk from
which the great Reformer lectured.-
On its front are four circular paintings.
representing the four faculties of tho
university, law, medicine, theology and
philosophy. The latter contains fine
female figure which my guide said was
likeness of Catharina, showing alike Lu-
thers taste and affection. On the walls
are portraits by Cranach. There is also
a cast taken after Luther's death.
I was looking at these monuments
and asked where is Luther's, when my
guide pointed to plain stone at my
feet, which was a part of the floor,
whereon was the name of Luther. Re-
moving this there is a neat bronze tab
let, with his name and date of birth and
death. Such is the simple monument;
a similar one marks where Melancthon
sleeps. Bishop Simpsons Letters.

The Constitution.

1t has been common to suppose that
the Constitution of the United States
was work of great political wisdom,
and that James Madison the wise and
honored son of Virginia, more than any
other statesman contemporary with its
formation, was instrumental in its orig
ination and adoption. But it seems
that the maXims Of secession teach its
votaries to spit on the ashes of the pa
triots, legislators and heroes, whose
works they are seeking to destroy. 1t
is to this purport that the Richmond
Whig of recent Gate, in an article copied
by us at length on the 9th inst, held
the following contemptuous language re-
specting the Constitution which it once
professed to admire and revere
we have been taught to believe that
a loose league or confederacy of free,
sovereign, and independent common
wealths constituted the best frame of
government, for the happiness and free
dom of man, which human ingenuity
has devised. The old articles of Con-
federation, which bore US triumphantly
through the Revolution, is our beau ideal
Of perfect Government. That was
shipwrecked by the financial embarrass
ments which followed the war, and wus
substituted by the Yankee concern, @hich,
IN our day, has annihilated eoery oes-
tige of liberty throughout the Northern
States. We would, if we could, restore,
as nearly as changed circumstance ad-
nit, that confederate system, which,
without an elective King and an army
of greedy office-seekers, would ensure
US freedom and independence
1t is in view of such utterances that
we can appreciate the violence which Sc
cession requires its patrons to do to all
that is most sacred in our national ira
ditions and historical associations. 1t is
willing to blot out the glorious past, that
it may with less shame commence under
auspices of diminished dignity the ig-
noble career of broken nationality

There are persons who seem to think
that editors regard 1t as one of the great
est intellectual luxuries to pitch into
somebody, and they suppose themselves
to have conferred great favor by fur
nishing belligerent contributions, in
which some person, corporation or soci-
ETY. is soundly abused. Such people
may take hint from the following

as we'll as prepared. The army now en-
camped at Washington does not contem-
plate going into winter quarters until
after an active campaign. Just as the
rebels are anxious to retire and lay up
for time, the Union army desires to
be led forward to the seat and centre of
the rebellion. 1t will be so led, without
doubt. If the rebels make that centre
at Richmond, and stake all on their hold
of that place, the trial of strength will
necessarily be there and if they 60 to
Montgomery, or some point further south,
they will certainly be followed.
Great events are evidently at hand,
and great opportunities opening for ac
tive and energetic movements. General
McClellan's army will be found ready to
act as the emergency may require, we
are confident; and if the rebuilding and
working of railroad to Richmond is
the next necessity it will be done as
promptly as the defences were erected at
Washington. IF these defenccs are now
rendered superfuous by the retiring of
the enemy, they will stand as monu-
ment of this giant rebellion which time
will not readily obliterate. But this is

able them to retire with the sort of lau-
rels deemed necessary at the South,

The Brain.

One of the readiest roads to the brain
is through the lungs. You may reach
the brain in minute with chloroform,
for example. The power of this drug
is something marvellous. When under
its influence, man may have his limb
cut off without any sensation whatever;
and even when he RECEIVERS from the ar
tifcial trance, he may still have neither
pain nor uneasiness.
Why? Have you ever seen person
after fit of epilepsy? After fit of
that kind. people have no remembrance
of anything done to them during the
fit. During the epileptic paroxysm,
the brain is all but completely torpid -
The same thing happens after the an
aesthetic sleep of chloroform. In neither
case can a man remember what he
never felt. But mark what may hap
pen after amputation performed on a
patient under chloroform. The same
man who felt no pain in the stump either
during or after the operation, may con-
tinue for many successive months to be
attacked with the identical local symp-
toms for which his limb was removed,
at the hour of the day or night when he
was wont to suffer martyrdom before its
removal And more than this--i seized
by his old enemy during sleep. he may
wake, exclaiming, %, my leg, my leg!
it pains me the same as when it was
on ? More curious still, he may tell
Civilian & telegraph. [volume] (Cumberland, Md.) 1859-1875, 1861-10-10

you he can, SO far as his feelings are
concerned, actually move the foot of the
amputated limb!
What do these facts prove? They
prove, says the London Medical Prac-
tice': /. Tha. the brain is the source
of all motion and all sensation, morbid
or sane they prove inversely, 2. That
the brain is the source of rest and re-
mission, sleep included; they further
prove, 3. That the brain is the source
of all paroxysmal recurrence, whether
the more prominent symptoms be gene
raj or local.

CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY.

Young men beware OF the pernicious indul
gence and lmost fatal injury you inlet upon
YOUR constitutions, by evil examples and the
morbid influence of the passions.
How many young persons DO we daily Dehoiu'
whose countenances and debiiitated constitutions
depict disease arising from that horrible ana de-
yastatng vice.
1t could be shown how attenuation of the
frame o, papitation of the heart, arrangement OF
the nervous system, cough, indigestion ana q
train of symptoms, indicative OF consumption,
arc often ascribed to wrong causes, when in re-
alty, they are the consequences OIL an aiiurinS
and pernicous practice alike destructive TO the
mind and body.
You who h, We brought this aifliction upon
yourselves why embrace the secret to your
hearts and vainy attempt to cure yourselves,
instead of making immediate application to a
skillfull physician who in q short time, would
restore you to perfect health and save you from
exposure which the fatal consequences render IL
euviIable.
RsS- DR.. Smith gives his special attention to
the treatment of this destructive malady. Pa
tients can be cured at home by addressing let

ceve medicine securely packed from observation

Who Saw the Steer.

The richest thing of the season, says
the Newburyport Herald came off the
other day in the neighborhood of the
market. The greenest Jonathan imag-
Unable, decked out in slouch hat,
long blue frock, and pair of cow-hide
shoes, big as gondolas, with huge whip
under his arm, stalked into billiard
saloon, where half dozen persons were
trundling the worries, and after recover
ing from his first surprise at the (to
him) singular aspect of the room, in
quired if ANY on 'em had seen stray
steer affirming that the 'blarsted critter
got away as he came through taown
with his drove, t. other day, and he
hadn't seen nothin' on him sence.'-
The bloods denied all knowledge of the
animal in question, and with much sly
winking at each other, proceeded to
condole with him on his loss in the
most heartfelt manner He watched
the game with much interest, as he evi-
IDENTIFY had never seen nor heard of any,
thing of the kind before, and created
much amusement by his demonstrations
of applause when good shot was made
-Je-ru- salem being fayorite inter-
lection.
At last Jonathan made bold to re-
quest the privilege Of trying his skill,
when he set the crowd in a roar by his
awkward movements. However, he
gradually got his hand in, and played
as well as could be expected for a poor
greenhorn. All hands now began to
praise him, which so elated him that he
began to think himself a second Phelan;
and he actually offered to bet a dollar
with his opponent-which Of course he
lost. The loss and the laugh so irritated
him that he offered to play another game,
and bet two dollars, which he pulled out
of big roll-for it seems his cattle had
sold we'll and he was quite flush. This
bet he also lost, as the fool might have
known he would when, mad as March
hare, he pulled ont fifty spot, the largest
bill he had, and offered to bet that on
another game. The crowd mustered a.
round and raised enough to cover it,
and at it they went again-which, by
some very strange turn of luck, Jona-
than won. He now offered to put up
the hundred he had just won against
another hundred. OF course he couldn't
blunder through another game, SO they
now could win back what they had lost,
and fleece grseny of his roll beside -
They sent for famous player, who hap
pened to have money enough to bet
with, and another game was played,
which Jonathan also won. Another
hundred was also raised and bet and won;
and it was not till he had blundcred
through half dozen games. and by
some uaoccountuJle run of luck won
them all, dra aiming the pockets of his
opponents of some four hundred dol
lars, that they began to smell very
large mice When everybody got IT,
red of playing, Gawky pulled off his
frock over his head, took his whip un-
der his arm, and walked quietly out,
turning round at the door and remark
ing, Gentlemen, if you should happen
to see anything Of that steer, wish
you'd just let me know
At last accounts they had not seen
the steer, but they have come to the con-
clusion that they saw the elephant-or a

Leaves them not in dearth.
