A Sure Remedy for SMALLPOX.

A correspondent of the Stockton (Cal.)
Herald writes as follows:
81 herewith append recipe, which
has been used to my knowledge in hun
dreds of cases. 1t will prevent or cure
the smallpox though the pittings are
filing. When Jenner discovered cow
pox in England, the world of science
hurled an avalanche of fame upon his
head, but when the most scientific school
of medicine in the world-that of Paris
published this recipe as panacea for
smallpox, it passed UNDECIDED. 1t is as
unfailing as fate, and conquers in every
instance. II is harmless when taken by
a we'll person. 1t will also cure scarlet
fever. Here is the recipe as | have used
it, and cured my children of scarlet fever
here it is as l have used it to cure the
small pox; when learned physicians said
the patient must die, it cured: Sulphate
of ziHc, one grain; foxglove (digitalis),
one grain; half a teaspoonful of sugar;
mix with two tablespoonfuls of water.
When thoroughly mixed, add four ounces
of water. Take a spoonful every hour
Either disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For child, smaller doses, &C.
cording to age. If counties would com
pei their physicians to use this there
would be no need of pest-houses. If you
value advice and experience, use this for
that terrible disease"

ence between Great Britain and the
United States relative to Costello and
Warren. naturalized citizens of the
United States, now imprisoned in Great
Britain, having been convicted OF trea-
son and felony. Minister Johnson in
closes a letter from Costello, dated
Chatham Prison, in regard to his condi-
ton, and Minister johnson replied on
the fourth eff November, and stated that
he should not fail to send 1t to
Washington at his request. MIR. john
son does not offer any remarks on this
and similar cases, as official copies OF
the trials of Warren, Halpoine, Costello
and McAaeriy has recently reached him.
He trusted, however, that he would soon

brief but faithful summary of them, with
some observations on each. The CORE

WE feel that our readers will thank us
for publishing the following poem, by
George D. Prentice, entitled the CLOSING
Year" We regard it as one of the most ex-
quisite gems in the English language II
will live az long as the English Languages
spoken, and, like Gray's "Elegy,' is alone
sufficient to immortalize its author;
THE CLOSING YEAR. DO
IT'S midnights holy hour and silence now
Il brooding. like q gentle spirit Ger an tho
The. BELLS deep tones are swelling It's the
OF the departed year. No funeral train "a
Is sweeping past; yet. on the stream ana
with SSU0 melancholy light. the moonbeams rest
Az by mourner's sigh and on yen ciouas
That aeats SO still and placidly tnreusn
The spirits of the seasons seem to stand.
Young Spring. bright summer Autumn
And Winter r with his aged locks land breathe,
In mourpfui cadence, that come abroad,
Like the far wind harp's wild and touchins
A melancholy dirge Ger the dead year
Gone. from the earth' , forever ,;;n.
For memory, and tears, within the deep,
Still chambers Of the heart; spectre am, r
Whose tones are like the wizards voice OF
Time.
And solemn finger to the beautiful
And holy visions that have passed away
And left no shadow of their LONELINESS ,.a.
On the dead waste OF life. That spectre llits
The cofin-lid of Hope, and JOY, and Love-
And bending mournfulIy above the pale,
Sweet forms that slumber there, scatters DEAD
DER what has passed to nothingness The year
Has gone, and with it many glorious throng
OF happy dreams. Its mark IS on each brow
Its shadow in each heart. In its course
II waved its sceptre Der the beautiful
And they are not. 1t laid its pailid hand
IJpon the strong man-and the naughty form
IL fallen, and the flashing eye is dim.
II trod the hall Of revelry, where thronged,
The bright and joyous and the fearful wall
Of stricken ones is heard, whore erst the seng
And reckless shout resounded. 1t passed Ger
The battle plain, where sword. and spear ana
Flashed in the light of mid-day. and the
strength
of SERTED hosts is shivered, and the grass.
Green from the soil of carnage, waves above
The crushed and mouldering skeleton. 1t came
And faded like wreath Of mist at eve;
Yet, ere it melted in the viewless air.
IL beralded its millions to their home
In the dim land of dreams.
