Rhyming Prose. The Buffalo Republic of July 24th gives the following rhyming description of the state of the weather at that time in the regidli of Buffalo, New York: Rais'. — The earth is parched and cracked and dry, and quivering o’er with heat. Ladies forsake the prome nade and all desert the street. The rich est goods in rain display their many colored charms—the clerks are leaning all the day “ upon their oars,” or arms. The horses hang their sweating heads, molasses casks perspire, and through the chinks when daylight breaks, we think the world's on fire. The cats all hide beneath the house, they dare not fly—they would be singed and droop to death, with one ray from on high. The gutters stick their bottoms up, so dry, so dusty—hot; the sewers gape their thirs ty mouths, and think that rain is not. Shell fish are dead—lobsters are not, no oyster lives—no clam. The brooks and streams are drying up and are not worth a dam. The birds forsake their twig and net, and iu the groves hard by ob serve their nests, with all their young, roast in a bird’s nest pie. The leaves turn brown before their time, the blos soms leave the flowers, and drooping, withering is the world, these verv sunny hours. The corn—God bless us—lead us not to any gross impieties; but airs like this must lead to thoughts of large relief societies. The farmer pours his butter out, and measures it per pint. Lettuce and radishes arc dead— li the times are out of joint.” Oh ! for one little drop of rain, to cool the thirsty grain, and spring to life the buds and flowers in every grove and plain. And let that drop expand itself as much as ever it pleases ; yet, let a second deluge wet the earth before it ceases. Yes— like the flag, all, all above (the stars and stripes remetnbei) o’er all the world and everything. Ah ! reign until September. Tub St. Nicholas Hotel. —The New York Dry Goods Reporter gives some interesting statistics of the St. Nicholas, alias “Si. Bubnlink,” hotel. The building cost $1,200,000, and the furniture, <fee... $9 10,000. It lias a front of two hundred and seventy-five feet and a depth of two hundred feet. The front wall is of marble and its area is 18,000 feet. The building will hcoonvu xlate 900 guests, and, upon a pinch, it lias squeezed in 1,000. It has six hundred rooms, well lighted, and provided with hot and cold water. The cost of the mirrors in the house was $40,000, nnd of the silver ware, &e., $50,000. The number of servants averages during llio year about three liundrc 1 and tweuty. The gas which lights the house is made on the premises. The laundry goes by steam, employs 75 laundresses, and call wash and iron 6,000 pieces per day. It is not known whether the St. Nich olas hotel was named after the former patron Saint of New Amsterdam, who war a ver* plain and unsophisticated old Du'chman, < r the other Nicholas, who serins, by the amount of deviltry and crime tliat are constantly going on in the Empire City, to be llio patron Saint of modern New York. jC-tTOf all the abominations which we abominate, the sympathizing abomina tion is, to us the most abominable! We had rather read a flat-footed, hellish abolition paper openly advocating Sharp’s breechloading Christianity, than one of those sheets which professedly aloof from polities, adorns its columns with paragraphs encomiastic upon John C. Fremont and 1 Jessie' ! We can set our teeth and take a horn of Epsom salts or quasia, with right good hate ; and hate is a principle which stirs the blood, and like all blood stirring princi pies is both physically and morally wholesome when moderately indulged, but when, upon lifting the crystal gob let from the gushing spring to our lips, wo encounter the nauseous brackish taste of copperas, alum, warm flat-irons and sulphuretted hydrogen —let alone the stink—thero is nothing particularly invigorating and compensating in the disgust we experience. Sympathizing ! with what \ with the niggers! We would like to roll up every one of them sympathizers in halt a dozen blankets with one of the greasi est objects of their sympathy, and keep them so during the day about now ? oNo doubt they would enjoy it; they of course take it for granted that their musky friends would ; else why arc they so pertinaciously opposed to the privi lege, claimed for them by their owners, of taking an airing in the pure breezes of Kansas I—Prairie News. «I find, Dick that you are in the hab it of taking my best jokes, and passing them off as your own. Do you call that gentlemanly conduct. ’ “To be sure 1 do, Tom.

Some say the deficiency will amount to 60,000 tons of sugar, but I should hope such a statement was a greatly exaggerated one, though there doubtless will boa considerable defi ciency, caused by the unfavorable weath er just at the commencement of the crop, and at least in one district—that of Ma tauzas—by many sugar estates having been destroyed by fire. A Nice Income. —Albert and Victo ria receive one million of dollars annu ally. By strict economy, they are able to support life on this small amount. It is proposed to settle three hundred and fifty thousand dollars on the Princess Royal of England as her annuity after her marriage with the Prussian Prince. Having been trained lo frugal habits, it is hoped that tho young housekeepers will avoid all unnecessary expenses, and thus be enabled to make the two ends of the year meet. Jf<?~Wo have often been surprised, on visiting the warehouses of the larger dealers in drugs, in our principal cities, to see the immense quantities of those very popular medicines, Dr. M'Lane's Celebrated Vermifuge nnd Liver Pills, piled up on their floors, their very beau tiful labels and llio clean, neat boxes, make a highly imposing appearance. Wo think Fleming Bros, of Pittsburgh, who aro the manufacturers and proprie tors of these justly celebrated medicines deserve much credit for the neatness with which they place them before the pub lic; in our mind it is a guarantee of the purity and care with which they are prepared. We are told that a •bung ling and trashy imitation has lately made its appearance; and purchasers had better look to it. See that each wrapper is signed Fleming Buds. A subscriber ” (whom we sus pect to be some narrow minded Leech) asks us why we advertise Dr. Ayeu’h Pills , and wo wiii give him our seven reasons for so doing. The first, second and third are that wc aro paid for it. The foilrili is we know them by expert once to be good. The fifth is that Dr. Ayer’s preparations king recommended hy be Rev meti than wo —by physicians of the highest talent nnd the deepest learning in the land, we arc well sus tained in our own convictions of their value. Tho sixth is that they are cheap as well as useful. The last but not least is that they have done and are doing an amount of good in this community which our old fogy friend if he could repeat himself ton thousand times might never hope to equal, and we trust by making them known, to render somo service to our readers as well as our selves.— Christian Herald.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Ex traordinary Cure of a Bad Breast. —The wife of Mr. Arthur Burn, of New Orleans, La., was, after the birth of their last child, a constant sufferer with a bad breast; thero were several holes in it, and despite of the various remedies tried, her husband could not get anything to cause it to heal. After every other remedy had failed to ben efit tho sufferer, she had recourse to Holloway’s Ointment and Pills, which, as a matter of course, quickly caused an improvement in the appearance of the affected parts, and by perseverance with these fine remedies for a few weeks, she was com pletely cured.

Ninety-nine in a hundred will tell you they are the best Pills for liver complaint, sick headache and dyspepsia that they have ever used. Read the following from oue of our most respectable citizens: New York, August 3,1852. I do hereby certify that I have been suffering from a pain in ray side and breast for a long time and after trying many remedies came to thccou_ elusion that my liver was affected. I immediate, ly commenced using Dr. M*Landß Celebrated Liv er Pills, prepared by Fleming liros. of and the few that I have taken have taken have al ready given me more relief than all the other med iciues I have taken put together. 1 went to a clairvoyant to consult him; after examining me carefully, he advised me to continue the use of Dr M’Lane’s Pills; that they would effectually cure me. * W.

Perry Davis—Sir: —The benefits I have re ceived from the use of your invaluable remedy, the Pain Killer, induces me to pen a word of praise for it. Experience has convinced me that for Headache, Indigestion, Pain in the Stomach, or any other part of the system, Severe Chills, Weariness, Common Colds, Hoarseness, CHOI.E. 11 A, CHOLERA MORE IIS, Diarrhoea, Dysen tery, Toothache, Ac there is nothing better than the Rain Killer. I have this hour recovered from a severe attack of the Sick Headache, by using two teaspoonfuls, taken at thirty minutes’ interval in a wine glass full of hot water. I uni confident that, through the blessing of God, it saved me from tho cholera during the summer of 1849. Travelling, amid heat, dust, toil, change of diet and constant exposure to an infected atmosphere, my system was daily predisposed to dysentery attacks, accompanied with pain, for which the Pain Killer was a sovereign remedy, one teaspoon ful curing the worst case in an hour, or at most half a day.' I have heard many cases the country over of Dysentery being cured by its use. Put in the teeth, it would stop the toothache. Grati tude, and a desire for its general use, has drawn from me this unsolicited testimonial in its favor. I). T. TAYLOR, Jr., Minister of the GospeL Practice of Modieinc.

The comfort find health of their children is the legitimate source of much anxiety to those parents who wish to perform faithfully their duties to their offspring, and yet this very anxiety prompts them often to seek the aid of medical men, (who of course must give something to the child to gratify the parent,) whip, in nine cases out of ten, all that the child requires is a gentle and skilful friction, so as to arouse to ac tion the “ minute superficial vessels so apt to become torpid in infancyfor this reason tho most experienced nurses and physicians have nover ceased, since its great virtues were uni versally known and acknowledged, to recom mend the “Balm of Thousand Flowers,” which creates great elasticity and strength of limb, “general health of body, and beauty of complex ion : all which is remarkably apparent in those children who have been judiciously subjected to the benign and sanitary influence of the “Balm.’ For sale in Madison at the Book Store by Bknj.

One vol ume , 12 mo., Muslin, Price $1.25. AMERICAN Novelists have of late confined themselves mainly to sketches of social and domestic life. They have aimed to produce minia tures and cabinet pieces rather than historical pic tures. The author of Saratoga has chosen a large canvas, aud has wrought with a bolder hand. By placing the sceue of his story on what was then the verge of civilization, and portraying characters trained in all the exigencies of border life, he has constructed a narative full of startling incident and thrilling adventure, without viola ting the probabilities of history. The bold, cau tious woodsman, Sandy Brigham, the watchful, taciturn Indian, Catfoot, and the wily, revengeful half-breed, Joe, will compare favorably with the best delimations in the “ Leatherstocking Tales” of the great American Novelist. Since Cooper put forth his earlier and better novels, no Ameri can author has written a work of this class pos sessing merits equal to this tale of life on the bor ders. The title of this book gives us to know at once the nature of its contents. It abounds iu inci dents of an exciting character.
