L presents to the Public more data on which
they can safely base their calculations relative
to the respective merits ofthe depleting system
of the disciples of Esculapius, and of that invig
orating and phlogestic one of which he is proud
to be the advocate.
Leaving the stilts of egotism and shafts of rid
icule for tlie use of those who have nothing bet
ter to stand on, and no other weapons for attack
or defence, he selects his standing on truth, and
uses such support only as merit gives him ; and
for weapons, he chooses simply to assail the
ranks of the enemy occasionally with “a little
more grape," in the form of facts,which are evi
dently the hardest kind of arguments since they
often administer to Ins quiet amusement by the
terrible destruction they cause among the stilts
and the ludicrous effect they produce in causing
certain individuals to laugh,as it is expressed in
homely phrase, “on t’other side the mouth."
The Mexicans are not the only people, these
days, whom vanity has blinded to their own de
fects; neither can they claim much superiority
in the way of fancied eminence and blustering
bravado over many that live a great deal nearer
home. A salutary lesson has latterly been giv
en the former by the Americans, and the latter
may ere long take “ another ofthe same ” ala

could do, she still continued to get worse. The
Physicians in attendance had exhausted their
skill without rendering her any assistance till,

very low condition, I got her last attendant to go
with me to Macon and lay her case before Dr.

D’Thc following exquisite little Song is from

is one of the best of modern productions in its
line, and we doubt not will be read with delight.
The Lady’s Yes.
“Yes !” I answered you last night—
“No !” this morning, sir, I say—
Color seen by candle-light
Cannot look the same by day.
When the tabors played their best,
And the dancers were not slow,
“ Love me” sounded like a jest,
Fit for “yes” or fit for “no."
Thus, the sin is on us both ;
Was to dance a time to woo ?
Wooer light makes fickle troth—
Scorn of me recoils on you.
Learn to win a Lady’s faith
Nobly, as the thing is high—
Bravely, as in fronting death—
With a virtuous gravily.
Lead her from the painted boards—
Point her to the starry skies— .
Guard her by your truthful words,
Pure from courtship’s flatteries.
By your truth she snail be true,
Ever true as wives of yore,
And her “yes” once said to you,
Shall be yes for evermore.
Russia.—lts Army, Navy, Ac.
BY KEV. DR. BAIRD.
With regard to the government of Rus
sia, I must first state that the whole em
pire is divided into fifty-six departments,
each of which has a subordinate govern
ment. The administration ofjustice is ex
tremely imperfect, from the nature of the
case, the courts being badly managed, and
the judges very accessible to bribery.
The profession of law is almost unknown,
and there are very few educated lawyers.
The Duke ofOldenburg, a nephew of the
Emperor, who takes a great interest in
such matters, has lately opened a law
school, which has now eighty or a hundred
students.
The navy of Russia is considerable, and
comprises about fifty ships of war, a good
frigate, a few steamships, and a great
number of smaller vessels. Naval schools
have also been established ; but their com
merce is so limited that they cannot have
an efficient marine. They do not need a
great navy, and it is now far larger than
is necessary. Their ships are pretty well
built but their sailors are not so good as
those of America, France or England.

thing, and in it their great strength lies.
In 1840 it numbered nine hundred thou
sand men, and as it is now at the highest
point, it cannot be much short of a million.
Their common soldiers, who are taken
from the serfs, serve for the most part du
ring life, and though well drilled, ate very
ignorant. The higher officers, however,
are well educated men, and as schools
have been established among the common
soldiers, they will probably improve.
They do well what they are told to do;
but if in battle they lose their officers,
there are none of the privates fit to take
the command, and they are very much
like a flock of sheep. They generally con
tinue to execute the last order, although
it may have become impracticable, for they
are as brave as any men in the world.
They labor greatly under the want of good
officers, both in the army and the navy are
foreigners—principally English and Ger
mans. They are endeavoring to supply
their want by means of military schools, of
which they have twenty-four, under the
direction oftho Grand Duke Michael,com
mander-in-chief of the Russian forces. I
am not of the opinion, however, that Rus
sia is so formidable a nation on account of
her military force, or that she will attempt
the conquest of Germany or Prussia.
Fiance is more than a match for her, and
she is well aware of it; for although her
standing army is twice as large as that of
France, she is twice as large as that of Na
tional Guards of the latter, and which, as
events have lately proved, are fully as
effective as regular s Idiers. These Guards
comprise nearly the whole male population
of France, and many of them are those
who have served their several terms of
seven years in the army, and returned to
private life.
There are very few n 'vvspapera in Rns

there would be if the press were free.

many is carefully examined by the public
censors, and if there is a single line against
Russia, it is blackened or expunged in
such a manner that it cannot be read. I
j have frequently received papers from
j Germany disfigured in this manner,
j ihe Grand Duke Michad, the brother
of the Emperor Nicholas, and head ofthe
| arm y> very unpopular in Russia, on ac"
count of the severity of his discipline. Still
he has a great deal of good sense and sound
judgement, and as he is not afraid to speak
his mind to the Emperor, he is found to be
exerting more and more influence every
year. One of the best men in Russia is
the Duke of Oldenburg, of whom 1 have
spokeu. lie is a German,and a son of one
of Emperors sisters. Unlike most of the
imperial family, he thinks education and
legislation of more importance than the
army and military affairs.
The government of Russia is, from the
nature of it, oppressive. From its great
extent, much must be trusted to subordin
ate officers, who are not always faithful,
and many things in consequence go wrong.
1 hese things are kept from the Emperor
as much as possible.
Nicholas came to tlie throne unexpec
tedly. Constantine should have succee
ded his brother Alexander, but before the
death ofthe latter, he made a will appoin
ting Nicholas his successor, with which
Constaniine was acquainted, and to which
he assented.
On the death of Alexander in the south
of Russia, Constantine sent word to Ni
cholas of what had been done, and where
he would find the document. In conse
quench, Nicholas ascended to the throne,
and on his accession there was an attemp
ted revolution. A part of the troops, in
stigated by a few ofthe enemies of Nicho
las, refused to take the oath of allegiance
to him, and called on Constantine, who
was at that time in Warsaw. After the
Governor of St. Petersgurg had been kill
ed in an attempt to pacify them, they were
fired upon, and several killed. Five of
<he ring leaders were sent to Siberia, and
the refractory soldiers returned to their
duty.
Things that I Like. —l like to hear
candidates for office agree in politics with
every man they converse with—it looks so
much like principle.
I like to hear men denounce others for
things of which they themselves are guiltv
—it looks so much like consistency.
I like to see young women peep through
the windows or tlie cracks of half-opened
doors,to catch a glimpse ofthe young men,
and when they come in their presence,
appear over-modest—it is so admirable.
1 like to see plenty of churches, yet
having no ministers to preach in them—it
looks so much like a wise disposition of
charity’s funds;
I like to see a parcel of young men stand
before a church door, at the dose ofthe ser
vice, and stare every female full in the
face as they pass out—it looks so much
like good breeding.
1 like to see a woman out in the mor
ning scraping up chips to build a fire, and
ber husband in bed—it shows she think
thinks.
more of him than she does ofher
self.
I like to see merchants and mechanics
keep their shop doors and windows closed
until the sun is an hour high—it shows
they are independent; and ask no favors of
their customers.
I like to see men ctowding around tlie
bar-room on Monday morning before sun
rise—it shows their anxiety to get to their
week’s employment in good season.
Temptation. —That temptation which
at first is but a little cloud, as big a§ a
mans band, may quickly overspread the
whole heaven. Our engaging in sin is
the motion of a stone down hill—“it
strengthens itself by going,” and the long
er it runs, the more violently. Beware of
the smallest beginnings of temptation.
No wise man will neglect or slight the
smallest spark of fire, especially if he sees
it among barrels of gunpowder. You car
ry gunpowder about you,—O, take heed
of sparks.
A Pi'/zi.E.—At the examination of a
parochial school, a reverend gentleman
was asking a class the meaning of words.
They answered very well till he gave
‘backbiter.” This seemed a puzzler. It
went down tlie class, till it came to a sim-,
pie little urchin who looked sheepishly
knowing, and said, “It may be a flea.”
Tlie Dying: Gold Seeker.
The sun was slowly sinking behiud the
western horizon, and casting its last rays
upon the extended surface of a desolate
and dreary plain. One wide unlimited
waste, as fur as the eye could reach, alone
fell upon the vision of a solitary individu
al, who lay reclining at full length upon
the earth. His cheek was wan and pale,
and his haggard countenance bore the
marks of disease legibly stamped upon it.
His eyes were sunk far back in his bead,
and emitted a wild, unearthly gleam, such
as is often seen in the glance of a person
on the brink of eternity. His limbs were
shrunken and dried up, and everything
betokened a speedy dissolution of the soul
and body.
With a powerful effort he raised him
self upon his elbow, and gazed long and
steadily around him, until his eyes grew
dim with the painfuluess of the look, and
his form trembled like an aspen leaf from
the over-exertion.
“\es,” he at length bitterly exclaimed,
“they have gone and left me to perish
alone—may the bitterest curses of a dying
man follow them forever—Oh ! why did
I ever leave my home, dragged off by the
cursed thirst of gold to perish miserably
here, and a shade of mortal agony gath
ered upon bis pallid brow.
Again he glanced his eye round the
plain, and far in the distance, just where
the sun seemed sinking into the earth, the
form of a man mounted on horseback,
came out in bold relief for an instant
against the sky, and then disappeared.
‘‘lt is Hueston, he is coming back to
me,” muttered the dying man, as he sha
ded his eyes with his emaciated hand, and
strove again to catch a glimpse of the dis
tant horseman. “No, I must have been
mistaken, they are gone, and fie too among
the rest, and 1 must perish, die like a dog,
unwept, uneared lor, and alone—why
should I complain—did I not tear myself
from home against the wishes of ray friends
and relatives, and tell my gray baited moth
er as she pressed me for the last time to
her besom, that I would soon return laden
with gold, from these Western mines, and
how 1 scoffed at the tears of my own Edith
as she told me 1 might never return.
And here I am, quivering upon the thres
hold of eternity—with every fibre prostra
ted by disease, and dying inch by inch, in
the desolate wilds of a western prairie
fool, fool that 1 was, why did I seek for
riches and wealth 1 why did 1 peril life,
health and happiness, by venturing in
search of such an idle bauble or follow •••■
til too late to repent it, the wild and fatal
delusion,” and overcome by the power of
his emotion he sank exhausted upon the
ground.
Suddenly the tramp of a steed echoed
over the spot, and an Indian warrier gal
loped up to the side of the prostrate man,
and bounding from his steed,drew a toma
hawk from his belt, and bending over him,
raised the glittering weapon in the air.—
As it flashed in the sunlight, the sick man
again struggled to his elbow, and riveted
his gaze with a steady look upon the eye
of the savage, while a smile stole over his
ghastly features For an instant the sav
age contemplated his feeble foe, then slow
ly lowering his hatchet, exclaimed,
“Pale face warrior weak—much sick
me no kill him—lndian kill strong man,”
and he pointed to a fresh scalp hanging at
his girdle—
“ White warrior come here—me shoot
him —take scalp—take gun—see,” and he
pointed to a rifle strapped to his saddle.
The eyes of the dying gold-seeker fol
lowed the direction pointed out, and rest
ed upon the well-known rifle of his friend.
The truth flashed instantly upon him—
Hueston had attempted to return to his
aid, but was way-laid and shot by the
prowling savage.
With a deep groan he sank back for the
last time to the earth, his lips trembled for
an instant with a convulsive movement,
the limbs stiffened slowly out, and quiver
ed for a single instant, the under jaw fell,
the eyes became set in his head, and as the
Indian bent his keen eye once again upon
him, they rested upon the icy face of a
corpse !
Thus perished one, who buoyant in life
and heal h, was allured by the inducements
held out to view, to seek for riches in the
New Eldorado. Ye, who are hound for!
the same land, ponder well before ye go,!
upon the fate of The Dying Gold Seeker . j
NUMBER 11.
From the Scientific American-
Tlie History of Steam Navigation.
It is utterly impossible to enumerate
the different modes of steamboat propul
sion that have been brought before the
public from time to time. Last year, a
Mr. Simpson employed the fan blower,
running horizontally to propel a steam
boat on the river Thames in London. It
was highly spoken of at the time, but wo
heard no more about it since.
R. L. Stevens, Esq., of this city (New
\otk) has now a steamboat running with
currents of air forced backwards from the
bow under the water, to give great buoy
ancy to the vessel and thus lessen her re
sistance in running through the water, —
what the final result will be, we arc not
able to tell, although we have no idea at
present, that it will supersede the com
mon mode, or that it is any advantage
whatever. No subject has received so
much tinkering as this, yet what do we
find, as the final result of 42 years experi
ence in steam boat propellers; just this,
that the paddle wheel, firm and simply
made, is the best of all propellers. In the
pamphlet of Mr. Ewbank, the present
Commissioner of Patents, paddles made of
steel and of greater breadth of extremity
(at the long end of the lever) are sugges
ted, as having been demonstrated by him*
to be far superior to the common way of
making paddles. Ihe idea is a good one
in our opinion, although as far as it res
pects metals, it is not new, as an English
gentleman in 1842 constructed a paddle
wheel with iron paddles. Rut what shall
we say of the invention of the steam boat ?
time would fail us to tell all its benefits and
describe all its wonders. Forty-two years
ago, only one steam boat broke with her
paddle wheels the surface of a single, riv
er of this vast continent, now, no less than
500 float on our Western waters alone, i
and many of these vessels are of great size
and beauty. Around our own doors may
be seen a multitude of these splendid levi
athans ofthe deep—more worthy the name
than a line of battle ship. The Atlantic
ocean is traversed in a few days by splen
did steam ships that have but to be seen
to be praised. We may well ask “what
is to be the end of these things.” We
look upon every improvement in science
and art, as a general benefit, and we look
upon what steam navigation has done with
a heart of faith and an eye of hope for the
future, as a grand means of bringing about
that period when “worth shall bear the
gree” in every land. Navigation has done
wonders for liberty and the elevation of
of man. if wc take no more into considera
than the discovery ofthis continent. Four
centuries have not yet passed away, since
this continent presented upon the maps of
World, nothing but a wide rolling waste
of waters. With the discovery of the
New World anew era of freedom has
dawned upon man.
With navigation on the swift footed
steam boat crushing the'waves beneath her
iron feet and raising the spray behind her
as the courser the dust on the race course,
we know that the messages of freedom
and of concord and of human sympathy,
are borne to every land to cheer up the
hearts of men who have long sat in dark
ness.
