THE WORLD’S FAIR,
ASD ADMISSION TO THE CUTSTAI. PALACE.
The price of admission to lliis great fair,
as regulated by the Commissioners, is of so
exorbitant a character, that it will stagger
many who were contemplating for a small
sum, the pleasure of free ingress and egress
nt the Crystal Palace.
The first issue of season tickets will he
little short of {515 for a gentleman, and £>lo
for a lady—tickets not transferable. The
Commissioners, moreover, specially reserve
the power of raising the price still higher,
after the second issue. None but season
tickets are available on the opening,—T hurs
day, the Ist of May. Friday and Sat
urday, the price will be S5 for a single ad
mission. On the sth of May, it will be re
duced to Si, and after Jhe 25th, to 20 cents,
except on Fiiday and Saturday, when it
will be Irom 50 cents to Si.
It will be seen by this, that the manage
ment of our English friends will compare
well with any tiling among Yankees. As
they have prepared the glass palace at
great expense,—perhaps half a trillion of
dollars,—it would be the vciy thing they
thought, to improve the curiosity of visitors
to liquidate the exDeudilura. Tim enor
mous rate at which tickets of adm ssion
have been put, must abundantly pay nil ex
penses before the first month has expired;
and the receipts for the subsequent period
(five months) will amply pay f"r all pre
miums, and constitute an ample fund to
keep the edifice in repair in after years.
One dollar lor a season ticket, and twenty
five cents for a single admission for the
first month, would be sufficiently high, and
rated on the millions who will apply for it,
would make an immense aggregate. The
best way for visitors from abroad will he,
to manage to avoid all hurry, and delay
their departure at least, until the first of
June.
The sight outside, however, of this rare
fabric—in the diversity of complexion, form
and feature, and the still greater divorsily
of cost tune—presented by the countless mul
titude, will probably be quite as interesting
as any thing in ihe interior, with a single
exception, and this in ils character and as
sociations infinitely surpassing all. This
will be, the display of the sacred oracles by
the Hrilisli & Foreign Uiblc Society, trans
lated into between ono and two hundred
different, languages, and the elegant copies
prepared in each, as a donation from British
Christians to the representatives of the vari
ous tribes of tho human family, who come
up to this unparalleled gathering. Here is
something transcending in interest and im
portance, all the magnificence and dazzling
splendor with which royalty can invest it,
and all tho enchanting and bewildering
variety which contributors from all parts
of tho globe cun furnish to captivate and
excite—something to give scope to Ihe
widest range of thought, and the most be
nevolent llow of philanthropy. Tho rest
of the show, however gorgeous and attract
ive, lias nothing in it permanent; it is all
fading and transient at best; but in this
precious volume, tho eternal interests of
mortals are recognized, their relations to
their Maker, and tlie avenue opened by Ins
boundless compassion, for their admission
without money and without price, into a
palace of unutterable splendor, in compari- ;
son with which, this the earth’s wonder is
the merest gewgaw. .Still, the attention of
the world is directed towards tho inferior
object, and every guide book is read with
avidity; and from the remotest sections,
crowds are preparing to make their way to
behold it, and mingle in the vast assem
blage that may range ils transparent gal
leries. Millions will be there beyond ques
tion, and many will impoverish themselves
to enjoy the spectacle. Some will expend
their last dollar to obtain admittance; many
will peril their lives on the ocean; some ex
pose themselves almost to starvation, and
most to serious inconvenience to secure a
share in the expected please.
But where will all this mighty multitude
be when the present century shall close?
With comparatively few exceptions—here
and there one, like tho scattered remnants
of our revolutionary veterans, —all will be
in their sepulchres; and for most,but gloomy
apprehensions can be indulged in regard to
their destiny; and many among them who
have enjoyed the privilege of this celestial
guide, both in this nnd the father-land!
Though they have had this precious direc
tory pointing and inviting them to a palace
of enduring splendor, saying, “ This is tho
way, walk ye in it,” and admittance free, it
lias been proudly contemned. Indeed, tho
Golden city in which the palace stands,
with i's wall of jasper, and its foundation
gam shed with sapphires,and emeralds and
ainatliists, and stones most precious,and its
gates of pearl; needing neither the sun or
the moon, but enlightened by the ineflublo
glory of God and tho Lamb; and the na
tions that ava tt&vud will bring thuir bailor
and glory into it, and unfading diadems
will eucircle the heads of a l, and palms of
victory will be waved in the hands of all;
yet the terrestrial possessed the pro-etni
nent-charm !—wliat other than gloomy ap
prehensions cau be entertained for such?
In tho awful developments of another day,
when the review of this wonderful pageant,
withal pertaining to it, crowned heads and
nobles who will have figured in it, with the
thousands from the old wcrld and tho now,
—how will it appear otherwise than to the
utter consternation of those who have en
joyed the privilege of the divine directory
and disregarded it; to whom the most sub
lime object in the fast display—the divine
guide to the palace in the skies—provided
lor (he tribes of Asia and Alrica—had fur
nished no interest?
. Bat who can tell, but that while this
sacred volume, which lias been so long
opeu before the millions of the white race,
and disregarded by the vast majority, may
not on tins occasion, when presented to the
tawny tribes of Asia and Ethiopia be most
cordially gicetcd, and when carried home
to their lellow countrymen, be read and
studied with iutense interest—presented un
der such peculiar circumstances—and be
made the power of God to ths salvation of
multitudes in Inndsol darkness? And who
can tell but that under God’s wonderful
providence, this gigantic enterprise for the
aggrandizement and glory of the Consort
of the British Queen, is to be made the in
strument of gathering many of (he chosen
ones of the Redeemer among the heathen,
into his holy fold? And who can question
when the descent of the palace city—the
new Jerusalem—“shall be seen coming
down from God out of heaven, and the na
tions of them that ore saved shall bring
their glory and honor into it,” and from
the record of “the Lamb’s Book of Life,”
shall be read the names written therein,
and it shall be seen that some of the be
nighted ones to whom the sacred oracles
were distributed at this great Fair are
among them, and numbers of their fellow
countrymen likewise, that then its necessity
| will bo fully understood? Though the end
less variety ol mechanical industry and skill,
land the perishing productions of mortals
! were the absorbing objects of regard, and
constituted in their array the great instill
ment of gathering the mighty assemblage,
may it not then appear that the only pro
duction of real permanent worth, nnd the
least appreciated, was the one Wh
i been prepared by tho infinite skill of the
; Supreme, and gave to the enterprise its
grand and invisible control?
What a contrast then, between the Crys
tal Palace which earthly royalty had erest
| ed,and that on which the resources of hea
! vert had been expended to make a proper
residence for the King of kings, and the
countless retinue gathered “out of every
nation, kindred, tribe and tongue under
heaven, who have washed their robes and
made them white in the blood of the Lamb!”
What folly to expend toil and treasure, and
travel to obtain admittance to the former
and fail of the latter, when “admittance
free” is inscribed on its portals, and every
passer by is invited to enter % and enjoy
the spectacle “without money and without
price.”
READY MADE-ALL SIZES.
Sucli was the inscription we read the
oilier day upon a coffin warehouse. A
sad train of reflect ions was started by those
Words, “Ready Made.” Yes, we thought,
lhat that is one of the exigences of this
doleful business. The coffin-maker must
be ready. Ho is the servant of death, and
lhat inexorable tyrant will not discharge
nor give him respite. This destroyer ceases
hot his work day nor night; he stays not for
seasons, for cold or heat, for human conve
nience or plans, for social arrangements or
family ties, and whose office it is to provide
tenements for the bodies of the slain, must
work ever and be ready at a moment’s call.
And u-ady he knows not for whom—it may
be for a poor mendicant, a weary laborer,a
rick banker, a princely merchant. It may
be for the victim of wasting disease, or for
him who an hour before walked forth in tho
manliness and pride of full health. It may
be for a stranger, or for his own wife or
j child; yea, lm may be plaining and polish
ing the narrow house in which he himself
is to lie laid. Little indeed, does the coffin
maker know for whom ho works,oral what
hour demands may bo made upon him.
“All sizes.” That is another necessity ol
the business. Tho maker ol coffins must
bo ready for the man of robust frame, for
the del,cate female form, for the beautiful )
child, and for tho infant a span long.-- ;
What size, what length will be called for
next, hu cannot tell. lie must conform to
Death’s indiscriminate work, and keep be
fore him the alllicling testimonials of the
need which all ages and classes have of his
industry and watchfulness.
Should we not expect the man of such
an occupation to be ever thoughtful,—ever
reflecting that the grave is ready for him?
Wo should think so; and we should think
that all men, moving amid the trophies of
death, and warned at overy turn that mor
tality tnay demand from them a coffin and
a grave at any hour, would be serious.—
But, alas! the sober reality is forced upon
very few, by any occupation or event.—
Sad truth it is, ol which we are constantly
reminded, that, “All men think all men
mortal but themselves.” —Boston Chris.

DRIESBACH AND HIS TIGER ON A
STEAMBOAT.
On Wednesday last, Herr Driesbach, the
celebrated tamer of wild beasts, received at
Zanesville a telegraphic dispatch to come
to Cincinnati and bring with him his pet,
the great Brazilian tiger, one of the most
ferocious animals ever tamed. Herr ac
cordingly took a double berth on the steam
er “Julia Dean,” putting down the names
on the clerk’s book, “Herr Driesbach” first
berth, “Col. Alexander” (the name given
the tiger) second berth, Herr remarked j
that the Colonel was a queer old fellow, ac- ,
customed to sleeping out, and had withal a i
peculiar fancy—he would sleep on nothing
but straw. The chambermaid took away
the bed, and replaced it with a full supply
of that article. Business and preparation
; went on. Just before the last bell, Herr
and the tiger made their appearance in the
cabin opposite the state room door. The
clerk, hearing an unusual stir in the cabin,
spied the glaring eyes and savage body oi
his Royal Majesty. He recognized Herr
Driesbach, but did not relish the appear
ance of Col. Alexander. Still, he did not
feel like ordering the party ashore, lie felt
a repugnance to that undertaking, and cn
---| eluded to allow things to take their wonted
| course. Herr unlocked his stale room door,
! and His Majesty, at a bound, was on Ins
straw bed.
After a little time spent in arranging the
I stale room, Herr satisfied tho clerk and oth
ers that Ins pet was entirely under his coin
j maud, and intimated to tho bar keeper that
! a bottle of brandy would be relished by His
Royal Highness, (or himself,) which was
brought into the state room by the tremb
ling waiter, who had forgotten to bring with
the liquor the requisite accompaniment—
pure water. Asa punishment, Herr fold
the tiger to take “the corner,” which he

did, nnd stepping quickly out, locked the
astonished boatman in, while lie went for
the water. The mail was so frightened
lhat he spoke not, neither did he move, till
Herr returned, and stated to him that he
need have no fears, as the tiger would keep
his place till he ordered him to rise. When
night came, Driesbach locked his state room,
bid His Majesty good night, and went to
bed in the upper berth, and the benny cou
ple had a good and peaceful night s rest. —
On arriving at our wharf, Col. Alexander
showed Ills approbation of the boat byjjiv
ing two or three grmvls, interpreted as ap
probatory by Herr, and the party soOght a
hack, which, when found, happened to be
driven by a son of the Emerald Isle.
At the first sight, tho driver utterly re
fused to take the haste, but was perfectly
willing that Driesbach should he accommo
dated. Hi* fears were allayed, however,
by the tiger jumping inside, and lie move
lo the Denuisson House; but Deniiissou
resolutely refused to allow His Royal Maj
esty to lake rooms at his hotel, and Dries
bach was obliged to take rooms for his
i friend at Wool’* Museum, While he return
ed to Dennissmt’s, the nearest and. best
place he could find. We presume ■that

out this broad country, haa proven beyond a doubt,
that no medicine or combination of medicine* yet
known, can to surely control and cure the nomefoni
varieties of pulmonary disease which have hitherto
swept from our midst thousands and thousands evfy

lic ve a Remedy has at length been found which can
be relied on to cure the most dangerous affections of
the lungs. Our space here will not permit os to pajo

“James C. Ayer—Sir: 1 have used your Cherry
Pectoral in my own case of deep-seated Bronchitis,
and am satisfi and from its chemical Constitution, that
it is an admirable compound for the relief of laryngial
and bronchial difficulties. If my opinion as to ila su
perior character can be of any service, you ate at lib
erty to use it as you think proper.

From one of the first Physicians in

Saco, Me., April 26,154&
Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell. Dear Sir: lam now con*
atantly using your Cherry Pectoral in my Practice,
and prefer it toany other medicine for pulmonary com
plaints. From observation of many severe cases, I
am convinced it will cure ooaghs, colds, aod diseases
of the lungs, that have put to defiance all other rem
edies.
I invariably recommend its use in cases of cact
sumption, and consider it much the beat remedy
known for that disease.
