Frightful Disclosures,

Dr. Harlow Medical Superintendent of
some startling statistics of madness. demon
stratug The connecting links between dys
pepsia and insanity in a very impressive
manner. La plain and lucid style he ex-
plains that the unhealthy condition Of the
stomach is chiefly attributed to the deielic
habits of the American people, that strong
sympathy exists between The brain and the
stomach and in conclusion argues that moth
ing is more common than deranged state
of the stomach and bowels, and that nGi>
gestion and costiveness are the invaluable
adjnncts of Insanity. He finally admits that
all these predsposilions can do counterac-
ted by proper care and anention-a strict
regimen, and the judicious use of vegetable
medicines. The foregoing doctrine is moth
ing more than an endorsement or coirob-
oration of the teatment prescribed by Or.

RED RIVER EOYAGER.
BY JOHN C WHITTIER

Out and in, the river is winding
The links of liz tong red chain,
Through belts OF duskY pine-land
And gnsty leagues OF plain.
Only al times. smoke>wroaih
With the drifting clond rock join
The smoke OF the hunting lodges
OF the wild Assinniboins
Dreamily blows the north wind
From the land OF ice and snow;
The eyes that look are weary,
And heavy the hands that row.
And with one foot on the water,
And one foot or the shore,
The angel OF shadow gives warning
That day shall be no more.
l. II the clang of wild geese
Is ii the Indians yell,
That lends 10 the voice of the north wind
The teue of a far-of bell!
The voyager smiles as he listens
10 the sound that grows apace;
Well he knows the We. per ringing
OF the bells of ST. Bonilace:
The bells OF the Roman mission,
hat call from their tuTets twain;
To the boaunen on the river,
To the hunter on the plain.
Ever so in our mortal journey
The bitter north winds blow,
And thus upon lies Red River
Our heart as oarsmen row.
And when the angel of shadow
Resls his feet on wave aud .hore,
And our eyes srow dim with watching,
And our hearts faint al the oar
Happy is he who hearelh
he signal OF his release

Fire Shells.

Capt ]. Norton, in communication to
the London American, states that shells MI

utes "over time /" become cold and perfectly
harmless as hot shot. Respecting his own
fire shells, he describes them as follows: 81

metal, both of which are brittle and become
fragmenled without the aid OF bursting
charge. On striking the ground or a plank
of timper, the fragments, being coated on
the inside with the liquid burn with intense
heat for long time. The shell may more
over, be charged with buets OF wool,
which being saturated with the liquid, each
will burn till consumed, and lis ashes glow
with fire for some time after. My light

battery. They would operate in simila
manner on striking the inside OF embra
