large number Of fatal diseases result from
taking cold, and often from such slight causes,
apparently as to appear incredible to many
But, although the causes are many, the result
is the same and rises from violation Of a sin
gle priuoiple to Wit-cooling of too soon after
exercise. Perhaps this may be more practically
illustrated if individual instances are named,
which, 10 the opinion of those subsequently
seeking advice in the various stages Of consump-
tion were the causes of the great misfortune,
promising that when cold is once taken, mar
vellous slight serve to increase il for the
first few days-causes which, under ordinary
circumstances, even a moderately healthy sys-
TEN would have easily shaken off

being too late to light fire, sat for half an hour
reading book, and before he knew it chill
passed over him. The next day he had splitting

THE BOGUS PROCLAMATION.
BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.
A, 1F All the public mind
OF Gotham, we find,
Has been reused to indignation
By that scurvy Joke,
Or stOck-broker's stroke,
OF " "Howard's bogus proclamation.
Twas no small affair,
Since we can declare
Very truly, in prose or rhyme,
That this trick alone,
(As is quite we'll known,)
Made {" This World" stop for time
But, before the lie
Gould bitherward fly,
Twas shot 20 on the wing ''and brought down,
And, aG we believe,
'Tis hard to deceive
The people of Penn's thriving town.
Whatever they hear
Must be proved quite clear,
Before they for truth will takeit,
The clothing they buy,
Tower Hall does supply,
Where strongly and well they make it,
The largest stock and best assortment Of
Clothing in Philadelphia always on hand, made
in the best and most fashionable manner Eve
ry one, whatever be his size or proportion, can
be at once as accurately fitted as by goods made
to order, at much lower prices.

SimaII.Esox ana Vaccination.

The prevalence Of smallpox throughout
the country gives interest to the suhjoined
remarks of one OF four exchanges:
Every one who has given the slightest
attention TO the subject is aware OF the
advantages of being vaccinnted. There is,
unfortunately, no compulsory law on the
subject, as Is the case in many European
countries. But ut the present time every
person, young and old, should bc vuccaated.
As people calculate IOw days by cOmpari-
son, q few instances MAY be given Of the
value of vaccination in other countries.
During the latter half of the eighteenth
century out OF every /, 900 deaths in En9lant,
80 were from smallpox. But after the dis
coycry and introduction of vaccination by
DIR. Jenner the number was reduced to
thirty-iiye. 4 thorough enforcement of the
laws relating TO vaccination has had the
effect of sill further reducing the number.
In the year 1858 the number of deaths that
occurred in Londcn from smallpox were at
the rate of sixteen in every thousand. In
Bohemia, Lombardy and Venice, where the
law was more rigidly enforced the ratio was
rs low rs two in one thousand.
After such statement who vii, DENY the
very great importance of vaccination The
surest way to get properly vaccinated is to
vaccinate from arm to arm, for lymph loses
its virtue by lapse Of time. Those who
have not been vaccinated within the past
seven years should DC taccinated again
without loss of time. They will rejoice
that they have made the experiment.
1t has been variously estimated that one
fourth otall who are attacked die from the
disease, hut it is Inost fatal to infants and
those who possess veal, constitutions, or
who are approaching fifty years Of age 1t
is somewhat remarkable that the disease is
not 50 violent when it is communicated by
minute particle Of the virus OF sick
person being thrust under the skin Of q
person in good health. The mortality has
been estimated among those who have been
moculated, 10 bc about one in seven or
eight hundred.
Towards the close of the eighteenth cen
tury the celebrated Dr. Jenncr made the
important discovery of vaccination, which
has rendered his name famous throughout
the civilized world. This discovery was
expected To be complete and permanent
protection from attacks ot smallpox, Bot
as time rolled on il was found not 10 bp so.
There seems to be no absolute protection
from this fearful disease, Us persons who
have undergone vaccination are liable to
attack in mild form. These attacks some
times have fatal termination. Besides,
vaccination frequently hoses is power, owing
to the lapse ot time, or 10y change wrought
in the system rs manhood approaches. Eut
still the Importance of vaccination cannot
be ovcrestimated.

THE following high-toned and expressive poem
is taken from the new volume of poems, by Richard
Monckton Mines lately elevated 10 the English
pecrage under the title of Lord Houghton. lie is
one of the most respected and beloved nobemen in
England, a man of comprehensive intellect, exdui-
site culture and refinement lie is distinguished for
the sweetness of his character and the unwearied
practical bcnefccnce of his life His friendship to
our country has always been strong and stcady.l
We only know that in the sultry weather
Men toled for us as in the stearning room,
And in our minds we hardly set together
The bondman's penance and the freeman loom.
We never thought the jealous gods weuld store
For us i'll deeds of time forgotten graves
Nor needed that the Mayhower one day bore
A freight Of pilgrims, and another slaves.
First on the bold upholders Of the wrong,
And last on us, the heavy-laden years
Ayengo the cruel triumphs of the strong
Trampled affections and derided tears.
Labor, degraded from her high behest,
Cries, ''Ye shall know | am the living breath,
And not the curse of man. Ye shall have Rest
The rest Of Famine and the rest OF Death
o, happy distant hours that shall restore
Honor to work, and pleasure to repose,
Hasten your steps. just heard above the war

We have all heard of Sir Boyle Roche 5
blundcrs. Dickens gives us an account OF
some of those which happily arc preserved
In one of his speeches he said: "Sir,
would give up half-nay, the whole of the
constitution to preserve the remainder.
This, however, was parliamentary. Hearing
that Admiral Howe was in quest cf the
French, hc remarked, somew hat pleasantly.
that the admiral would "sweep the French
fleet OIL the face OF the earth" By.and-by
came dangerous times of disaffection, and
honest mems lives were insecure Sir Boyle
writes from the country to friend in the
capital this discouraging view of his posi-
ton; '.You may judge" lie says, "of our
state, when tell you that l write tins with
a sword in one hand and pistol in the other. -
On another occasion, when the famous letters
to the PuJlic Adyertiser were attracting
universal attention, Sir Boyle was heard to
complain bitterly OF the attacks "of Il certain
anonymous writer called Jumus." He it
was who recourtcd that marvellous pcrfor-
nance in gymnastics when, in Il tumult OF
loyalty, he stood PROSTATE at the feet OF
his sovereign" lie it was who denounced
in withcring language the apostatc politi.
clan who turned his back upon himself
He it was who introduced to public notice
the ingenious yet partially confused meta
phor OF the rat sir" he said, addressing
the Speaker of the Irish House, II smell a

mark me, | shall yet nip him in the bud
There was the famous speech which CON
founded generations. II don't sec, Mr..
Speaker, why VIC should put ourselves out
of tho way to serve posterity. What has
ever posterity done for us y lie was little
disconnected by the burst of laughter that
followed, and proceeded TO explain his
