That Noble Boy.
I wa9 sitting: bv a window in the second
story of one of the large boarding houses at
Saratogi Springs, thinking of absent friends,
when I heard shouts of children from the pi
azza beneath me.
“Oh, yes ; that’s capital ! so we will!—
Come on now ! There’s William Hale !”
“Come on. “William, we’re going to have
a ride on the Circular Railway. Come with
us !”
“Yes. if my mother is willing. I will run
and ask her,” replied William.
‘•0. 0! so you must run and ask your mn.
Great baby, run along to your ma 1 Am’t
you ashamed ? -1 didn’t, ask my mother.”
“Nor I, nor I.” added half a dozen voices.
“Bea *inan, William',” died the first voice,
“come along with us, if you don t want to
be called a coward as long as you live.—
Don’t you see vve are all waiting !”
y 1 leaned forward to catch a view of the
- children, and saw William standing with
one foot advanced, and his hand firmly
clenched in the midst of the group. lie
was a fine subject for a painter at that mo
ment. II is flushed brow, flashing eye. com
pressed lip and changing cheek, all told how
that word coward, was rankling in his
breast. “Will he prove himself indeed oqg,
bv y elding to them?” thought I. It was
with breathless interest 1 listened for h s an
swer. lor I feared that the evil principle in
his heart would be stronger than the good.
But no
‘ I will not go without I ask mother !” said
the noble boy. his voice trembling with emo
tion. “and lam no coward either. I prom
ised her I would not go from the house with
out her permission, and I should he a base
coward if I were to tell a wicked he.”
There was something commanding in his
tone wh ch made the noisy children mute.
It was the power of a strong soul over the
weaker; and they involuntarily yielded h;m
the tribute of respect.
I saw him in the evening among the gath
ered multitude in the parlor. He was walk
ing hv his mother’s side, a stately matron,
clad in widow’s weeds. Her gentle and
polished manneis, and the rich, full tones of
her sweet voice, betrayed a southern birth.
It was with evident pride she looked on her
graceful boy, whose face was one of the
finest I ever say, fairly radiant with anima
tion and intelligence. Well might she be
proud of such a son, one who could dare to
do right, when all were tempting to the
\vr<ng. I shall probably never see the
brave, beautiful boy again, but my heart
breathed a prayer that the spTit, now so
strong in its integrity, might never he sul
-I'ed by worldliness and sin—never, in com
ing years, he tempted by the multitude to
evil. Then will he indeed be a jov to the
widow's heart. Our country needs such
stout, brave hearts, that can stand fast when
the whirlwinds of temptation gather thick
and strong around them; she needs men
who from infancy upward have scorned to
be Inlse and recreant to duty.
Would vou, little boy, be a brave man.
and a blessing to your country, be truthful
n r ,w. Never, never tell a lie, or deceive in
any manner, and then, if God spares your
life, you will be a stout-hearted man, a
strong and fearless champion of the truth.
Influence of Mind on tho Body.
The influence of faith, belief or opinion,
on the body, is unquestionable. We have
seen children of two, three or four years
of age shiver in the col 1 hath, because
they feared, beforehand, it would b ; cold
to them. The proof of mental influence
in this case is derived fioin the fact, that
when the same process in the same cir
cnin-tances,’ or those which neatly resem
ble it, is submitted to cheerfully and with
out apprehension, there is no shivering.
The same truth is applicable almost
everywhere in life and in nearly all circum
stances. Tilings are, to a very great ex
tent, as w e apprehend them. If we expect
a room will be cold at CO degrees of Fail
renheit, it is Very apt to prove so. If we
ex pi ct to be fatigued with a certain kind
or degree of exeicise or labor, we are apt
to be so; and the contrary. So if wo ex
pect to catch cold or any other disease—
even small pox— we are very apt to dud
it so. On the contrary, he who does not
expect to be sick or to lie assailed, may
walk unseatlud through dangers by which
the more timid man would lie destroyed.
W e might illustrate the principle at which
we aim by numerous examples, but a few
will be sufficient for our present purpose.
We wish, if possible, to fasten the convic
tion on the minds of our readers, that just
as surely as the expectations of being weal
thy, wise or good, tends to such results, so
surely does the expectation that we shall
be healthy or diseased tend to make us so.
In Paris’ Life of Sir Humphrey Davy, we
are told that Dr. Bed does once went to
him with a patient who was greatly afflict
ed with one species of palsy, in order that
he might receive the nitrous oxide gas,
but without explaining to his patient the
nature of the operation. Before adminis
tering the gas, however, a thermometer
was placed under his tongue, to ascertain
the general temperature of his system.—
The patient not so much as imagining what
was to be done, no sooner felt the bulb of
the thermometer under his tongue, than
he declared lie was bett r. The gas, th re
fere, was not given, but the man was re
quired to come and be operated upon in
the same way the following day, which he
did, and with similar happy effects'. In
tine, after repeating the operation of pla
cing the bulb of the thermometer under
his tongue cveiy day, f. r a fortuight, the
palieut was dismissed, perfectly cured.
Equally worthy of our credit, though it
may seem to partake a little more of the
marvellous, is a story which Dr. Gregory,
of Edinburgh, was accustomed to relate to
liie stu ieiits.
Having ordered a }’onng patient of his
—a medical student—to take an anodyne
at bed time, the young man understood
him to say a cat hart hie. The medicine
was accordingly taken in the full expedi
tion of laxative effects; which, in truth,
w\rc realized. When Dr. G. asked the’
next morning what effect theanodyue had, j
the sick man exclaimed with great snr- \
prise—“ Anodyne, sir! did yon not send ;
me a cathartic?” By no means, said the =
doctor, it was anodyne. Well, said the ;
patient, it has certainly operated as a ca
thartic, and I feel grpatly relieved by it.
Now it is quite possible that the condition
of the young man was snch that the ano
dyne produced cathartic effects indepen
dent of the state of the mind; still it is
set rctly probable.
It is on the same principle that medi
cines in general, not only in the hands of
quacks, but those of regular physicians
.themselves, have much of their efficacy.
The influence of charms, and conjurations,
arid incantations, to restore health among
savages, is well known. We arc none of
us, in this respect, hut little elevated above
the condition of savages. Wearethecon

The Space the Dead Occupy*
We find the following question and an
swer in the New Yoik Observer:
If all the human race, from tbe creation
to the present day, were buried side be
side, bow many square miles would they
cover? ‘
Ans. Tbe population of the globo at the
present time is estimated at 900,000,000.
It is also estimated that a number equal
to the entire’population of the globe, ex
isting at any one time, passes away three
times in every century. As the present
population of the earth has increased from
a single pair, created about sixty centuries
ago, on# half of the present population
might bo taken as a fair estimate of the
average number who have passed away
during each of the 180 periods, or thirds of
centuries, during which the may have been
inhabited; which would give 8,100,000,-
000 for the whole number who have lived
on the earth. Allowing an average of
three square feet for-the bnrial of each
person, on the snppoeition that, one-halt
the number die in infancy, and that they
would cover 24 300,000,000 of square ft-et
of earth; dividing this by 27,878,400, tbe
number of square feet in a square mile,
and we have than 872 square miles,
which would afford sufficient room to bury
side by side all who have been buried in
rhe dust of the earth-all of whom would
not suffice to cover the little state of Rhode
Island.
This estimate shows how widely those
persons draw on their imaginations, who
affirm that not a foot of earth exists on the
globe that, has not served as the burial
place of man; or who deny tho possibility
of the resurrection of the body, on the pro j
fence that the earth would not afford room ;
for the resurrected inhabitants to stand ! j
Natural Cariosities of the South.
It is very surprising, says a late writer, j
that two of the greatest natural curiosities ‘
in the world are in the United States, and
scarcely known to the best informed of our j
geographers and naturalists: the one is a \
beautiful fall in Franklin, IlaboJfebam \
county, Georgia; the other, a stupendous j
•precipice in Pendleton district, South Car |
olina. They are both faintly mentioned in ;
tbe late edition of Morse’s Geography, but ;
not as they merit. The Tuccoa fall is j
much higher than the Niagara. The col- j
umn of water is propelled beautifully over j
a perpendicular rock, and when the stream |
is full, it passes down without being bro
ken. All the prismatic efleet seen at Ni
agara illustrates not the spray of Tuccoa.—
The table mountain in Pendleton district
is an awful precipice of nine hundred feet. !
Many persons resi le five, seven, or ten ;
miles of this grand spectacle who never j
ha l the curiosity to visit it. It is now j
visited by curious travelers, and sometimes :
by men of science.
O.i Catawba, in Botetourt county, there !
is s tid to be a spring that ebbs and flows \
with the tides of the ocean. It is situated j
at the head of a ravine which is flanked j
by two parallel ridges terminating in a j
mountain of considerable elevation. A j
hunter of the neighborhood has the honor |
of its discovery. He had killed a deer on j
tho spot, and was proceeding to skin it, I
when the spring, which till this moment, i
had been invisible, came pouring forth a j
torrent at his very feet. Not knowing I
what should next take place, he left his \
gone, and fled with all speed to the near- |
est-settler. In the course of a few hours— j
or, perhaps a day—they ventured back— j
found the spring dry—but before their de- j
part tire, saw it again flow and gradually i
ebb, until it was no longer seen. Since :
that time, its regular ebbs and flows have !
been witnessed by hundreds. —Lewisburg \
Chronicle.
Curious Habits of Mackerel.
Tbe habits of these fish are very pecu
liar. And although they have been ta
ken in immense numbers for three quarters
of a century, their habits are not well un
derstood. They often move in immense
bodies, apparently filling the ocean for
miles in extent. They are found near the
surface. Sometimes they will take the
hook with the greatest eagerness; at other
times, not a mackerel will bite for days,
although millions of them are visible in
the water. When they are in the mood
for taking tire bait, ten, twenty, or even
thirty barrels, are taken by a single ves
sel in a few hours. They usually bite most
freely soon after sunrise in the morning,
and towards sunset at evening. They all
cease to bite about the same time, as if
they were actuated by a common impulse.
They are easily frightened, and will then
descend into deep water. It has often hap
pened that a fleet of vessels has been ly
ing off the Cape, ty a mile or two from
shore, in the midst of a school of macker
el, and taking them rapidly upon their
decks, when the firing of a gun, or the
blast of a rock, would seud every macker
el ftthoms deep into the water, as sudden
ly as though they hid been converted into
so mmy pigs of le id, and, perhaps, it
wcali be some hoars befoie they would i

Natural Curiosity.
It B said that on Lake Prairie, lowa,
there is a f.thornless spring. It has a
falsti U*ttou ‘ bout three teet from the or
fice, through which, if a pole be thrust, 1H
will sink under the sand composing this !
; crust like layer, and in a moment after its •
| disappearance will bound up again on Hie j
suface. The Indians have a legend that on
a quiet full-moon night, the Great Spirit
led the wicked ones of a certain tribe
thither, and when they saw the glorious
beauty of the crystal water, they thought
to bathe themselves in the silver waves of
the fountain. Plunging into the spring,
they sunk to rise no more. Evermore,
the manes of these evil unfortunates hive
troubled the bottomless waters, and to this
day they agitate the deceptive bosom of
the beautiful, though dangerous waves.

“I lb ink you for au opportunity to exaoine your

“Your histoiy of the Baptietsis un interesting and

Missionary Wanted!
Tl HE REHOBOTII FOREIGN MISSION COM-
I MITTEE, desires to procure a brother and his
companion, who will go on the Mission to Central Af
rica, to fill the place occupied by the late Brothel
Dennard and his wife, and make our report at the next
■lession of the Hehobolh Association.
Brother Denn.-trd and his wife, were sent out and
supported by this body; and now that they are no
more, we desire to find others who will fill their pla
ces, and carry forward this work. Our plan is topro
vide well for our missionaries while laboring, and foi
their return at the end of three or four years, to iui
yrove their health, and to foster a missionary spirit, in
the Churches.
The oue hundred millions and more, of Africa, must
lave the Gospel. They are included iu the numbei
if those to whom the Stvior said, ‘Go preach the
Gospel.” The field of labor in Central Africa is a
promising one. Tbe Kings in the interior desire mis
donaries, and offer them every inducement to sett),
imong them. Then “the word of God is not bound.”
The climate in the interior, is not so unhealthy ai
has been generally and missionaries may
‘o there with the prospect of or inary length of life.
Besides this, the people, unli/.e those on the coast, are
partly civilized, and have some of the common comfort-,
of life.
But were the climate ever so insalubrious, the foun
dations for our missionary opperations mi st be laid,
and the supporting of this stupendous building—this
temple, which we intend to errect, to the name of the
Vlost High— must be erected by the labor of our white
irethren. The language must be reduced to writing,
lictionaries must be made, g’-ammars constructed, and
t plan of general operations fixed, before we can dis
pense with their aid. When this is accomplished, then
it may be practicable to carry forward the work b)
. the labor of colored men, who are better fitted by na
ture to Southern climates. But oost what it may. it
must be done! Africa-is a part of the world, and these
sable sons, are a part of her “early creation.”
Let our young men and maidens, who have given
themselves to God, in solemn covenant, and are anxious
to do something for the Savior, ask themselves, wheth
er this be not the field in which God will have them
work—let them hear the voice of their Loid while he
says “Go work to-day in my vineyard.” The morning
of youth will soon pass, and the night will come.”—
“Go work to-day in my vine) ard.”
The Committee will take occasion in this communi
cation also to call the attention of the Rehoboth Asso
ciation to the propriety, of erecting suitable Grave
stones, over the remains of our fallen Missionaries. Lei
til the churches, individuals, or friends, who favor this
object, send up their contributions to the ndfct meeting
of our body at Perry. We prayed for and sustained
our beloved Dennard and wife, while they lived ; we
cherish their memory now that they are no more, and
we will erect some monumental stones, to tell then
names, their virtues, and their work.

AYER’S PILLS.
Arc fbtring tlie Nick, to mi Extent never be
fore known of any medicine.
IhTALIhS, READ AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELVES.
JUJ.ES IJAUEL, E>q, tli-- well known perfumer, of Chestnut
street, l liiliuielpliia, whose choice products are found at almost
every toilet says:
“I am lmypy to sny of your CATHARTIC PILLS, that I hare
found tlema better family medicine lor common use, than any
other wiihin- j knowledge. Many of my friends have reaTeed
minted benefits from i.-.em and coincide with me in believing that
they poss-S3 extraordinaiy virtues lor driving out diseases and
curing the sick. They ate not only effeciual, hut safi ano pleas
ant to he taken, qualities which must make them valued by the
public, when they are known.”
The venerable Chancellor WARDLAW, write- from Baltimore,
15th April, 1854.
“Dr. James C. Ayer—Sir: I have taken your Pills with great
hem fit. f>r the listlessntss, 1 ..rigour, loss of appetite, and Billious
headache, which has of late years overtaken me in the Spring.
A few doses o your l’illa cured me I have used your Cheriy
Pectoral many years in my f.m !y for coughs and colds with un
la iling success. Vou make med cities winch ccai, and I feel its
pleasure to commend you for the good you have done and are
doing.”
JOHN P. BEATTY, Esq. Sec. of the Penn. Railroad Cos., says:
“i'a. It It. Office, Phihidetphia, Dec. 18, 1858.
Sir: I take pleasure in adding my testimony to the tlficacy of
your medicine, having derived very material benefit from the use
of both your Pectoral and Cai hartic IMls. 1 am never without
them in my family, nor shall 1 ever consent to be, while iny means
will procure them.”
The widely renowned 8. S. STEVENS. M. D„ of Wentworth, N.
H, writes :
“iiavnis used your CATHARTIC PILLS in my practice, I certi
fy !low experience, that thty are au invaluable puigaiive. In
case of disordered functions of the liver, causing headache, indi
gestion, costivene s, and the great variety of diseasts iliui tohow,
they are a surer remedy than an> oilier. In all tasts where a
purgative remedy i required, 1 confidently reconirntn-i these Pills
to the publit, as supenor to any other that 1 liave ever found.
Th- y ate. sure in their operation, and perfect y sa e, qualities
which make them an invaluable article for public use. I have lor
many years known your CIIEKRI PECTORAL as the best Cough
neeuicine in the world, and these Pills ate in nowise inferior to
that admirable prepuiation lor the treatment of diseases.”
“Acton, Me , JTov. 23, 1858.
“Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear fir : I have been atllicted from my birth
with scrofula in its worst foim, and now, alter twenty years’ trial,
and an untold of amount ui eulit-riug, have been completely cured
in a tew weeks by joui Pills. Viih what feel ngs ot njuicing I
write, can only he imagined when you nal ze what 1 have tufier
ed. and how long. Never until now- have 1 been tree lroui this
loathsome disease in some shape. At times, it attacked mj eyes,
and maue me almost blind, besh.es the Uhenouiable pan ; at oth
ers it settled in the scalp ut my head, and destroyed my hair,
and has kept me partly bald ail my days; sometimes it came out
in my face, and kipt it lor mouths a raw sore. About nine weeks
ago, 1 commenced taking your Cathartic Pills, and non am entire
ly tree Horn u. complaint. My eyes are well, my bi. . 11 is lair,
and my hair has commenced a heal thy growth, ahol which makes
me feel already a ntw person.
“llopii g this stanmu.t may be the means of conveying infor

of grat tuue, Yours, Ac. MARIA RICKER.”
“1 have known the above named Maria Ricker from her child
hood, and her statement is stricily true. A. J. ME ERVE,
Overster of the Portsmouth Manulacturing Cos.”
Capt. JOEL PRATT, of the ship Marion, writes from Boston,
20th Adril, Ibhl:
“Your Pills have cured nte from a bilious attack which arose
from derangeintet ol the Liver, which had become very serious.
1 had faileu ol any reiiet by my physician, aid tram tvery reme
dy 1 could iiy, but a few i.oses,of y..ur Pills have completely re
stored nie to Health. 1 have g ven them to my children for woims,
with the best effects. They were promptly cured. 1 recommend
ed them to a friend for costivene-s. Which had troubled him tor
months; he told me in a few days they had cured him. You make
the best medicine in the world, and I am free to say so.”
Read this from the distinguished Solicitor of the Supreme Court,
whose brilliant abilities have made him well k. own, uot only in
this, but the neighboring states: •
“New Orleans, 6 th April, 1854.
Sir: I have great satisfaction in ussor.bg y-u that oyseifand
