CURE FOR SMALLPOX.

The Marysville appeal gives the following
clip it out and preserve it, in the event of
smallpox again becoming epidemic:
eve have been furnished with the follow
ing recipe for the cure of smallpox and
scarlet fever, by G. S. Swezy, Esq: "A
correspondent Of an exchange says: here
with append recipe, which has been used
to my knowledge in hundreds of cases. 1t
will prevent or cure the smallpox though the
pittings are filling. When Jenner discovered
the cow-pox in England the world Of science
hurled an avalanche Of fame upon his head !,
but when the most scientific school Of medi-
cine in the world-that of Paris-published
this recipe as penacca for smallpox, it
passed unheeded. 1t is unfailing as fate,
and conquers in every instance. 1t is harm
less when taken by well 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 | have used it to
cure smallpox; when learned physicians
said the patient must die, It cured: Sulphate
of zinc, one grain; fox glove (digitalis), one
grain; half tcaspoonful Of sugar; mix with
two tablespoonfuls Of water. Take spoon
full every hour. Either disease will disap-
pear in twelve hours. For child. smaller
doses. according to age. If counties would
compel their physicians to use this, there
would be no need Of pesthouses. If you
value advice and experience, use this for
that most troublesome disease The origi-
nal recipe can be seen by calling on Mr..
Swezy.

RoUGH FROM A PREACHER. Missouri
paper is authority for this; A Round Like
camp-meeting minister, Father Jennison,
says; "Woman and the devil turned every
thing upside down in the beginning, God
had given to woman special gift for inau-

Satan had got her in early life, and she had
kept up her wickedness ever since. l tell

you alone yet. Satan refused to smite jobs

AN AMLEss LIFE.--I committed one fatal
error in my youth, says Robert Dale Owen,
and dearly have l abided by it. started
in life without an object, even without an
ambition. My temperament disposed me to
ease, and to the full indulged the DISPOSE
ton. l said TO myself: 81 have all that |
see Others contendms for; why should | strug-
gle?" know not the curse that lights on
those who have never to struggle Tor any
thing. Had l created for myself definite
pursuit-=literary, scientific, artistic, social,
political-no matter what, so there was
something to labor for and to overcome, |
might have been, no doubt, very happy.

New CuRE.-Under tie head of "Novel
Cure for the Consumption" the Indianal oils
Etening Journal publishes the following:
A young lady in this city, sick with dis
ease of the lungs, was told that if she would
get n young puppy and raise it, the dog
would take the consumption of her hands
and she would get well. She did so, and
as the dog grew it was noticed that the ami
NAL acquired a hacking cough, while tho
lady grew rapidly better. In the meantime,
however, she had become much attached to
her canine benefactor, and did everything
that could be done for him, 1t was of no
use, however. consumption, the fell de-
stroyer, had fastened upon poor jacks vitals
and a few days since he passed in his checks,
The young lady is in robust health, and

The CHINESE WALL.-Mr. Seward, who
visited the great wall of China during his
visit to that country, recently gave the fol-
lowing description of that wonderful s.ruc-
ture:
The Chinese have been for at least two or
three thousand years wall.making people.
1t would bankrupt New York or Paris to
build the walls of the city of Pekin. The
great wall of China is the Great Wall of
the world. 1t is forty feet high The lower
thirty feet is of hewn limestone or granite.
Two modern carriages may pass each other
upon the summit. 1t has parapet through
out its whole length, with convenient stair
cases, buttresses and garrison houses at
every quarter of mile, and it runs, not by
cutting down hills and raising valleys, but
over the uneven crests of the mountains and
down through their gorges, distance of a
thousand miles. Admiral Rodgers and !
calculated that it would cost more now to
build the Great Wall Of China through its
extent of one thousand miles than it has
cost to build the fi(tyfve thousand miles of
railroads in the United States.

THE COMING TIME.

When men forget their love of gold,
And love their honor more;
When truth is only current coin,
And counted Ger and Der;
When men love freedom for its sake -
For all as we'll as one
And, for the greatest good, their work,
From day to day, is done;
When men throw self aside and live
For some just purpose high,
Then will the glorious era come
When none shall fear to die.

LINES on PRAYER.

LINES on PRAYER.
BY A. t. CHER.
Son. Why pray?
Do you not say
"Our God is infinite;"
That "He knoweth best what is right,
What is best, and when It's best to bestow
How We,
~ / do not see,
Can make Him change His mind
We know that He is very kind,
But it would indeed to me seem strange
If we by simply praying could cause God to
change.
Gods law
somewhere saw
Or heard, is writ in gold,
And that it is so very DID,
And perfect, making all things for our use,
Or for our good-when misapplied they then
abuse.
will not pray.
Until I see how we
Can be blessed by asking. To me
1t seems, if God is Interchangeable, there
Is no good to US, or others, done by praying,
FATHER My son.
Thou hast begun
This conversation well.
From what thou sayest can tell
have not taught thee right, while in thy youth;
If SO, thou have better knowledge of the truth,
Praying
Is not saying:
"Great God, may be blest,
And from the sins of Satan rest"
Entire devotion in some proper place,
Alone can fit US to receive our Makers grace.
We do
Not. nor may you
Expect His protection
Hy exciting his affection.
For as long as Creations lamp shall burn
God will be immutable--He can never turn.
"why pray.
Then" did you say?
By praying you will find
A change produced in your own mind;
Enabling you Gods blessings to imbibe,
As you drift along on lfes rough, uncertain tide
say
That you must pray,
If you would hope to be
A dweller in Eternity.
But do not think that God will change His plan
For that would bring the Deity as low as man.
My boy
My noble boy,
In hopes that you will pray
Always hereafter, would just say
Before l leave, the change must be in.you.
Hoping you'll pray until you find that change,
Adieu.

A RIVER ABOVE THE CLOUDS.

IF you were told that there was river
above the clouds equal in size to the Msss
sippi or Amazon; that this river is drawn
out Of the sea more than mile high; that it
is always full Of water, and that it is more
than % 900 miles in length, reaching around
the globe, you would call it very extrava-
giant assertion. And yet not only is this
assertion substantially true, but very much
more than this is true. If all the waters in
the sky were brought into one channel, they
would make a stream more than fifty times
as large as the Mississippi or the Amazon.
How many are there in the sky? just
as many as there are on the earth. If they
were not first in the sky, how could they be
on the earth If it is the sky that keeps
them full, then the sky must always have
enough to keep them full; that is, it must
always be pouring down into the sea.
II is computed that the water which falls
from the clouds every year would cover the
whole earth to the deptlr of five feet; that if
the earth was a level plain, it would spread
over it an ocean of water five feet deep,
reaching around the globe. The sky, there
fore, has not only river of water, but a
whole ocean of it. And all has come out of
the sea.
The sea, therefore, is the great inexhaust-
ible fountain which is continually pouring
into the sky precisely as many streams, and
as large as all the rivers in the world are
pouring into it. 1t is this that keeps the
ocean the same level from year to year. If
it were not sending off into the air precisely
as much as it receives from the rivers, it
would be continually rising on its shores,
and would finally overflow the lands of the
earth.

THE READERS ATTENTION is called
to ID. Appleton & Co.'S advertisement,
in another column, of new edition
of the leading novels OF Fenimore
Cooper, designed specially for popular
circulation. The first of the series
will be "The Last of the Mohicans,"
which will appear with numerous
new illustrations by 4. O. G. barley.
The style of publication will be the
popular octave form, with paper COW
ers, the purpose being to render the
novels as low in price as possible.
Heretofore there has been no edition
of this acknowledged head of Ameri-
can romancists suitable for general
popular circulation, and hence the
new issue of these famous novels will
he welcomed by the generation Of
readers that have sprung up since
Cooper departed from among us. AS
time progresses, the character, genius,
and value of the Cooper romances be-
come more widely recognized; he is
now accepted as the great classic of
American literature, and his books as
the prose epics of our early history. =
