citing a deep and thrilling interest throughout our

[Translated from the German.]
LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE,
of Germany,
The Greatest of Human Benefactors,
Citizens of North and South America,
To Louis Offon Goelicke, M. D.. of Germany,
[Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor of adding
anew and precious doctrine to the science of medi
cine—a doctrine which, though vehemently opposed
Dy many of the faculty, (of which be is a valuable
member,) he proves to be as well founded in trbth
iS as any doctrine of Holy Writ —a doctrine, upo n the
■ verity of which are suspended the lives of millipns
I of our race, and which he boldly challenges his, )>P-
I posers to refute, viz; Consumption is a disease al
[ ways occasioned by a disordered state of Vis V tse
I (or'Life Principle jof the human body: of cu
I secretly lurking in the system for years bes ire
I there is the least complaint of the Lungs —und
B which may be as certainly, though not so quickly,
I cured, as a common cold ora simple headache. An
[ invaluably precious doctrine this, as P imparts an
I important lesson to the apparently healthy of both
! scabs, teaching them that this insidious foe may
be an unobserved inmate of their “ claj r ey houses”
M even while they imagine themselves secure
Jm its attacks, teaching them that the great secret invfie
•S ar * °f preserving health is to pluck out the dis C<se
H when in the blade, and not wait till the full grvt]m
9 ear ' m 1 1
This illustrious benefactor of man is also entitled
■m to your unfeigned gratitude, and the gratitude ufj a
world, for the invention of his matchless Sanative,
il —whose healing fiat may justly claim for it su rl? a
p| title, since it has so signally triumphed over vAir
I ! great common enem y,Consumption, botl Jin
| the first and last stages, —a medicine which ‘as
| thoroughly filled the vacuum in the Materia Med «a,
anj thereby proved itself the {fff Conqueror of P/ty
sic ians.f —a medicine, for which all mankind
will have abundant cause to bless the benefit
hand of a kind Providence, —a medicine whpte
Wondrous virtues have been so glowingly pourtr.. *'-
ed even by sjme of our clergy, in their pastoral
visits to tee sick chamber ; by which means thtjy
often become the happy instruments of changing d e
sponding into hope, sickness into health, and sa4-
of friends into joyfulness *
Qqq Q Q !
GOELTCKE’S MATCHLESS SANATIVE, |
A medicine of more value to man than the vafjt
mines of Austria, or even the united treasures of
our globe,—a medicine, which is obtained equally
from the vegatable, animal and mineral kingdom:!,
and thus possesses a three-fold power,—a medicbn|,
b which, though designed as a remedy for consump
tion solely, is possessed of a mysterious influence
1 over many diseases of the human system, —a meuij
cine, which begins to be valued by physician*, whi»
are daily witnessing its astonishing cures of mimr
whom they had resigned to the grasp of the Ins du
tiable Grave. |
DOSE of the Sanative, for adults, one drop; fo«r
children, a haif-drop; ami for infants, a quartei
drop; the directions explaining the manner of la|
king a naif or a quarter drop. *

A certificate from three members of the Medic a r
Profession in Germany , in Europe.
We, the undersigned, practitioners of medicirej I
in Germany, are well aware that, by our course,|i
we may forfeit the friendship of some ui the facu --j
ty, but noi of its benevolent members, who are ur‘-s
influenced by selfish motives. T hough we shaidl
refrain from an expression of our opinion, either!
I of the soundness or unsoandness of Dr. Goelick
new doctrine, we are happj - to say that we deem!
his Sanative too valuable not to be generally*
known—for what our eyes behold and our ears!
hear, we must believe. * j
We hereby state, that when Dr. Louis Offer *
Goelick first came before the German public, a: |
t:;o pretended discoverer of a new doctrine and ;;>■<
new medicine, we held him in the highest con-1
tempt, believing and openly pronouncing him to be |
a base impostor and the prince of quacks. But, ons
hearing so much said about the Sanative, against its
and for it, we were induced, from motives of curd- i
o-ity merely, to make trial of its reputed virtues I
upon a number of our most hopeless patients; and f
\ve now deem it our bounden duty (even at the I
expense of self-interest) publicly to acknowledge I
its efficacy in curing not only consumption, but ;
other fearful maladies, which we have heretofore. -
believed to be incurable. Our contempt for the•:
discoverer of this medicine was at once swallower;,
up in our utter astonishment at these unexpected* j
results; and, as amends for our abused him, wt} j
do frankly confess to the world, that we believe ■
him a philanthropist, who does honor to the proses- j
sicn, and to our country, which gave him birth. |
The*recent adoption of this medicine into some |
of our European hospitals, is a sufficient guaranty |
that it performs all promises. It needed not our !
estimony, for wherever it is used itE its own best |
wi ness. HERMAN ETMULLER, M. u. j

THE MATCHLESS SANATIVE.—By an article I •
in our paper to-day, it will be seen that this medi- ' ■
cine has lost none of its virtues by crossing the At- i

’Tis sweet when daily labor o’er.
, ’Tis sweet when daily labor o’er.
And all is calm and free,
To tread ola Ocean’s sounding shore.
And list the murmuring sea:
To catch the low wind’s funeral sigh
Above where thousands sleep—
And hear the sea-bird’s lonely cry
Upon the far-off deep!
And when on Death’s dim, shadowy shore.
At Life faint twilight driven—
Calm let us view the waters o’er.
And boldly launch for heaven.
’Tis sweet, at Evening’s tranquil Hoar.
*Tis sweet, at Evening’s tranquil hour.
When all is hushed and still.
To seek some favorite haunt or bower.
And muse at silent will.
No doubts distract, no fears annoy.
To vex the peaceful breast;
But all is pure and quiet joy,
’Mid slu nbering Nature’s rest!
And oh, when earthly cares shall cease-^
At Life’s still evening close— RPR
How sweet to leave Earth’s bower in peace,
For Heaven’s secure repose !
No more to sigh ’neath Grief’s control—
From friends no more to sever—
While the celestial ages roll.
For ever, and for ever ! c. w. e.

“Bring me Hither, Hither, Boy.”
Bring me hither, hither, boy.
Bring me here my light guitar—
’Tis the midnight hour, my boy,
And our feet must tvander far;
Who that loves would sleep, when high
Burns each bright and perfect star ?
Hither hasten, then, my boy,
Bring me here my light guitar.
Though by day I may not speak
AH the passions in ray breast,
And my words are few and weak,
And my flame is unconfessed;
Yet, by night, a spirit high
’Prompts my feet to wander far.
And a bolder speech I try.
Echoed by the light guitar.
Through its soft and silver tone,
I would tell her all I feel—
To her heedless ear alone,
Would I have its music steal.
With a voice no longer coy,
I will sing Love’s brightest star—
Bring me hither, then, my boy,
Bring me here my light guitar.
An Incident of the Revolution.
In the summer of 1779, during one of the
darkest periods of our revolutionary struggle, in
the then small village of S (though it now
bears a more dignified title) in this State lived
Judge V , one of the firmest and truest pat
riots within the limits of the “Old Thirteen,”
and deep in the confidence of Washington.—
Like most men of bis time and substance he had
furnished himself with arms and ammunition,
sufficient to arm the males of his household.—
These consisted of himself, three sons, and about
twenty-five negroes. The female part of his
house consisted of his wife, one daughter, Catha
rine, about 18 years of age. the heroine of our
tale, and several slaves. In the second story of
his dwelling house, immediately over the front
door was a small room, called the “armory,” in
which the arms were deposited and always kept
ready for immediate use. About the time at
which we introduce our story, the neighborhood
of the village was much annoyed by the noctur
nal prowliugs and depredations of numerons To
ries.
It was on a calm, bright Sabbath afternoon in
the aforesaid summer, when Judge V. and his
family, with the exception of his daughter Cath
arine and an old indisposed female slave, were
attending service in the village church. Not a
breath disturbed the serenity of the atmosphere—
a sound profaned the sacred stillness of the day ;
| the times were dangerous and Catharine herself
i and the old slave remained in the house until the
return of the family from chuch. A rap was
heard at the front door. “Surely,” said Catha
rine to the slave, “the family have not yet come
home; church cannot be dismissed.” The rap
was repeated. “I will see who it is,” said Cath
arine, as she ran up stairs into the armory. On
opening the window and looking down she saw
six men standing at the front door, and on the
opposite side of the street, three of whom she
knew wcie Tories, who formerly resided in the
village. Their names were Van Zandt, Finley
and Sheldon ; the other three were strangers, but
she had reason to believe them to be of the same
political stamp from the company in which she
found them.
Van Zandt was a notorious character, and the
number and enormity of his crimes had rendered
his name infamous in that vicinity. Not a mur
der or a robbery was committed within miles of
S that he did not get the credit of planning
or executing. The characters of Finley and
Sheldon were also deeply stained with crime, but
Van Zandt was a master spirit in iniquity. The
appearance of such characters, under such cir
cumstances, must have been truly alarming to a
young lady of Catharine’s age, if not to any lady,
young or old. But Catharine V possessed
her father's spirit—“the spirit of the times.”—
Van Zandt was standing on the stoop, rapping
at the door, while his companions were talking
in a whisper on the opposite side of the street.
“Is Judge V at home?” asked Van
Zandt when he saw Catharine at the window
above.
“He is not,” slid she.
“We have business of pressing importance
with him, and if jou will open the door,” said
Van Zandt, “we will walk in arid remain till he
returns.”
“No,” said Catharine, “when he went to church
he left particular directions not to have the doors
opened until he and the family returned. You
had better call when church is dismissed.”
“ No, I’ll be d—d if we do,” retorted he, “we
will enter now or never.”
“Impossible,” replied she, “you cannot enter
until he returns.”
“Open the door,” cried he, “or we’ll break it
down, and burn you and the house up together.”
So saying, he threw himself with all the force he
possessed, against the door, at the same time call
ing upon his companions to assist him. The
door, however, resisted his efforts.
“Do not attempt that again.” said Catharine,
“or you are a dead man,” at the same time pre
senting from the window a heavy horseman’s
pistol, ready cocked.
At the sight of this formidable weapon, the
companions of Van Zandt, who had crossed the
street at his call, retreated.
“What!” cried their leader, “you d—d cow
ards ! are you frightened at the threats of a girl 1”
and again he threw himself violently against the
w v • -»• x i /v« •
door. The weapon was immediately discharged,
and Van Zandt ffell.
The report was beard at the church, and males
and females at once rushed out to ascertain the
cause.
On looking towards the residence of Judge
V , they perceived five men running at full ■
speed, to whom the Judge’s ccgroes and several
others gave chase; and from auupper windoW"
of his residence a handkerchief was waving, as if
beckoning for aid.
All rushed towards the place, and upon their
arrival, Van Zandt was in the agonies of death.
He still retained strength to acknowldege that
they had long contemplated robbing that house,
and had frequently been concealed in the neigh*
borhood for that purpose. but no opportunity had
offered until that day, when, lying concealed in
the woods, they saw the Judge and his family
going to church.
The body of the dead Tory was taken and 1
buried by the sexton of the church, as he had no
relations in that vicinity.
After an absence of two hours or thereabouts,
the negroes returned, having succeeded in captur
ing Finley, and one of the strangers, who were •
that night confined, and the next morning, at the
earnest solicitation of Judge V , liberated on .
the promise of amending their lives.
It was in the month of October, of the same
year, that Catharine V was sitting by an
upper back window of her father’s house, knit
ting ; though autumn, the weather was mild, and j
the window was hoisted about three inches.—
About sixty or seventy feet from the rear of the
house was the barn, a huge old-fashioned edifice,
with upper and lower folding doors; the lower
doors were closed, and incidentally casting her
eyes towards the barn, she saw a small back d«>or
on a range with the front door and the window
at which she was sitting, open, and a number of.
men enter. The occurrence of the summer im
mediately presented itself to her mind, and the
fact that her father and the other male member?
of the family were at work in a field some dis
tance from the house, led her to suspect that that .v
opportunity had been improved, probably by some
of Van Zandt’s friends, to plunder and revenge
his death. Concealing herself, therefore, behind
the curtains, she narrowly watched their move
ments. She saw a man’s head slowly rising
above the door, and apparently reconnoitering the
premises—it was Finlay’s. Their object was
now evident. Going to the “armory,” she select
ed a well-loaded musket, and resumed her place
by (he window. Kneeling upon the floor, she
laid the muzzle of the weapon upon the window
sill between the curtains, and taking delibeiale
aim, she j. What effect she had produced,
she knew not, but saw several men hurrying out
of the barn by the same door they had entered.
The report again brought her father and his
workmen to the house, and on going into the
barn, the dead body of Finlay lay upon the floor. .
Catharine V afterwards married a captain
of the Continental army, and she still lives, the
honored mother of a numerous and respectable
line of descendants. The old house is also “in
the land of the living,” and has been the scene
of many a prank of the writer of this article, in
the heydey of mischievous boyhood.— Staten

“ A large variety of electromagnetic and mag- -
neto-electric apparatus. Tac. i instruments il
lustrate the principles of a new urJ most interest
ing department of science. Trie ueflection of the
magnetic needle by electric currents, the earliest
fact known in the electro-magnetism, was discov
ered by Oersted, in 1819; and the induction of
electric cui rents by magnetism, the fundamental
fact in magneto-electricity, was disevered by Far-,
ady, 1831. These two sciences have since ad
vanced with a rapidity unparalleled in the annals.,
of scientific discovery. Many of their most im
portant principles are beautifully illustrated by
the apparatus exhibited by Mr. Davis. This
appaiatus is all neatly, thoroughly, and skilfully
made, and in some respects, especially in the
winding of the insulated wire, on which the pow
er of many of the instruments greatly depends,
is decidedly superior to similar articles imported
from Europe. Mr. Davis possesses a thorough
acquintance with the theory of the instruments
he manufactures, and hence, he has been enabled
to introduce into many of them important modifi
cations and improvements. Some of the most
valuable of these instruments are of his own in
vention ; among the most recent of which is the
double Helix and Electrotome, not yet described 1 *
in any scientific journal. Some of the results «
obtained by it are new; and it is no exaggeration
to say that it demonstrates, in a striking manner,
a greater variety of principles in electro-magne
tism and magneto-electricity than any instrument
of which a description has hitherto been publish
ed.
His instrument for the analysis of shocks, and
two electro-magnetic engines, are worthy of high
commendation, as boautitul and ingenious inven- -
tions. Several of the instruments exhibited by
Mr. Davis, and originally manufactured by him,
were invented by Dr. Page, (of Washington,)
and are now extensively used by scientific lectur
ers in Europe, and highly commended in foreign
philosophical journals. Indeed, it would be dif
ficult to name a philosopher, either in this coun
try or in Europe, whose discoveries and inven
tions in this department of science have, within
the last two or three years, been more numerous
and valuable than those of Dr. Page.
Mr. Davis is the only philosophical instrument*
maker in this country who manufactures appa
ratus of this kind to any considerable extent;
and he is entitled to the praise of having done
much by his instruments to promote a taste for.
the sciences they are intended to illustrate.”
A gold medal awarded.
The apparatus was also exhibited at the Fair
of the American Institute at New York, and re
ceived the award of a gold and silver medal.

that distress and even ruin are consequence* of
