Great and Good Medicine,

and large number of testimonials which are
stanily being received from persons who have been
cured by Its use, are conclusive proof OF its great
value. It is recommended by physicians and
apothecaries. AS Blood Purifier and Health
Restorer, it has no equal.
Negetine is not prepared for fancy drink made
from poor liquors, which debitates the system and
tends to destroy health instead of restoring it.
Are not the many testimonials given for the diff
1erent complaints satisfactory to<any reasonable
persons suffering from disease that they can be
cured? Read the different testimonials given, and
no one can doubt. In many of these cases the per-
sons say that their pain aud suffering cannot be
pressed, in cases of Scrofla, where, apparently,
the whole body was one mass of corruption. If

DEATH OF A FORMER MAINE MINISTER.

The particulars of the sudden death of
Rev. 4. c. Longley. in the pulpit of his
church in Greenpoint. l.. l., last Sunday.
are Of a thrilling character. MIR. Longley
entered his pulpit in his usual health, and
after the service of prayer and song took
his text from Isaiah "Behoid, l have
given him for a witness to the people,"
and the discourse that followed was de-
livered with more than his usual earnest
ness. Warming in his preaching, he adj
vanced to the front of the platform, and
raising his right hand solemnly, he ex-
claimed ''You can have salvation where
you sit. Salvation" At this point
ghastly pallor spread over his face, and
before any one could comprehend that
there was anything the matter, he stag
gered wildly backwards two or three PAGES
and stumbled on his seat He hardly
touched it before he rolled heavily to the
floor in an unconscious condition. Cen
tlemen had by this time sprung to his as
sistance. A cushion was placed under his
head and his limbs Strengthened out,
messenger having in the mean time been
despatched for doctor. On reaching the
floor Mr.. Longley was observed to gasp
once or twice, as though struggling for
air, and then cease. The most intense
excitement followed. Men, women and
children crowded around the altar; the
word was quickly passed without that the
clergyman was dead Mr.. Longley was
a native of Maine. and was what is known
as a local deacon. 1t is a singular fact
that his brother, the Rev. Peter Longley,
two years ago, met his death under almost
precisely similar circumstances, having
had barely time to leave the church in
which he had officiated before he dropped
dead. On receiving news of his brothers.
death, the surviving preacher asserted
that it would be his turn next year-a
prophecy that was strangely enough full
filled on Sunday.

AN OLD MANS DREAM.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
o, for one hour of youthful joy
Give me back my twentieth spring.
I'd rather laugh a bright. haired boy
Than reign grey haired king.
OF with the wrinkled spoils OF age;
Away with learning's crown:
Tear out life's wisdom written page,
And cast its trophies down.
One moment let my young blood stream
From boyhood's fount of flame:
Give me one giddy, reeling dream
OF life, and love and fame,
My listening angel heard the prayer.
And calmly smiling said
"If but touch thy silver hair
Thy hasty wish had sped.
But is there nothing in the track
To bid thee fondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wished foraays'
All, truest of woman kind,
Without thee what were life!
One bliss cannot leave behiud-
Pll take my precious wife.
The angel took sapphire pen.
And wrote il rainbow hue,
1.-The man would be boy again.
And be husband too"
"And there is nothing yet unsaid,
Before the change appearsa
Remember all thy gifts have fed
With these dissolving years.
"Why, yes, would one favor more,
My fond pa'ernal joys
Icould not bear to l)se them all,
Pll take my girls and boys"
The smiling angel dropped his pen,
"Why, this will never do:
Tho man would be boy again,
And b. father tooi'
And so laughed. My laughter woke
The household with its noise.
wrote my dream when morning broke,
To please my girls and boys.

Rev. O. C. Cole and wife are now in this
city, on a short visit to their son, Mr.. NJ. Z.
Cole, secretary Of the State Superintendent
of Education. The father has not before
seen his son for more than twenty years,
though the mother paid him short visit
two years ago. The elder Mr.. Cole is
hearty looking gentleman of middle age
who might easily be mistaken for an elder
brother of the younger. He belongs to the
N ortheastern Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church Of the State OF new
York, and is aow assigned as pastor OF the
church at Belleville, Jefferson county. we
learn from the Rev. Mr.. Cole that he is an
old friend and former co-laborer of Rev. j.
D. Adams. the respected pastor Of Ames
Church in this city.
We hope his visit to the South will prove
not only pleasant and agreeable socially,
but beneficial as brief relaxation from his
ministerial duties. And but for feeling
of consideration, we would suggest hope
that he might be prevailed upon to officiate
for once in Ames Church during his stay in
New Orleans. While We are cure this
would be gratifying to the pastor and con-
ereeation, vet we hardly feel at liberty to
press the proposal as request.

The Jetties.

Since Mr.. Eads has had recourse to
dredging, or narrowing, at South Pase,
there has been q clear increase of water be-
tween the jetties. Some of the most power
full towboats have been chartered, and .
kind of marine jack plane put at work to
shave eff the projecting clay ridges in the
channel. sYhe result Of this has been that
sufficient water was obtained to justify
Captain Gager in going to sea with the
steamship Hudson through the jetties the
same way she came in. She passed between
the ietties between half-past two and three
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, meeting with
no difficulty whatever. The Hudson drew,
going out. about fifteen feet ten inches
aft, and between twelve and thirteen feet
forward.
Additional appliances for deepening the
channel are being constructed in this city
and will shortly to put to work at South
Pass, as substitute for the dredgeboats of
the government, which were applied for
and refused by the Secretary of War.
Through their inst-umentality Mr.. Esds
hopes to succeed in obtaining channel OF
twenty feet depth. He will only be re-
ouired, then, to widen the channel to 200
feet, or one-ftth of the distance between
the lefty lines. and then guarantee its per-
m manency, from the river to the gulf, to OBJ
tain the first installment of pay from the
