Cholera Remedies

man, seeing him sink SO rapidly, made
an i~ncision into his arm, and having rub

a cloth. Nettday, the man was well mt

we're wonderful. m
In the first stage, when no collapse ia
yet threatened, I have found no remedy
more eflcacious than DR.. c. Browns chic,
rydine, now 60 extensively used abroad

your head and will be heard, why then
there is 10 other way but putt GU paper
and send it to the printer. But try to

or three poets alive 1t any one time. A
great poet makes and marks an age ; and
poor poets, or those who think they are
poets and are not, are as plenty as black.

oil how much valuable white paper is
spoiled by those wao think they can
write poetry. You may write correct
verse with iaultless rhymes, and there is
not a CLEAN Of poetry in it. Poetry re-
quires o peculiar faculty, tho imagination;
you may have genius, sense and learning,
and the power of expression so to write
prose as to rival Burke or Johnson, and
after all make yourself ridiculous, by
trying your hand at poetry. Write prose.

their visit was to discover the abolitionist

turned from the army. Heller, it seems
was accompanied by a portly, voluptuous
looking female, Of rather dark complex

cred to be the wife Of Bryant-the col.
