BKiOIRY and infatuation are the ruling passions
oi mankind,even in highly cultivated ciicies. very
often. When evidence a thousand miles front home is
preferred, it is a sure indication ot thebld adilage, that
th • “ importance ot the thing is increased by the dis
tance ” -V 1 110 period, or in any country is this truth
mom verified, perhaps, than at the South. New York,
tor instance, tin ms three- 1 >o't’is of the quack 110s
iiums of the country ; very few of which, have any
• idiafi it home. Bwstoaand Philadelphia, the nyidi
cine under the assumed name o'. Wislare Dntsaia of
H ild Cherry by two rival houses, lor there is really no
-uch a matt putting up the article, or ever has been.
Dr. LIT i'LE presents his Anodyne rough
.It'Ops to Georgia,and the South, with evidence at
home, in dozens of cases, of its being far superior to
either of the Balsams of Wild Cherrv. b> those who
have used both, or any other before oftered. lndepend
ent of those, see the many statement* that have been
rec-ntly published, besides his pamphlet. In addition,
he hereby guarantees, that if any case b • prescribes
1 them tor (Coughs, Colds, Consuiiintive diseases and
Asthma, ami also, Croun, Whooping Cough and In
ffimmatory Fever amongst children,) is not cured in
half the time over any and ail other remedies before
1 the public, that he will invariably return the money
paid for it (nfty cents per bottle) to the purchaser.
Dr. Gorman, who was long a member of the Medi
cal Board of Georgia, states thus :
’ Macon. Nov. 1,1848.
Dr. W. G. Little— Sir: Concerning your Pharma
ceutical Medicines, as you ask my opinion ; 1 will state
that I have seen and know enough of your Cough Drops
to say, that ’hey tire the very best I ever knew. How
ever violent or deep seated coughs and irritations of
! the lungs may me, my experience is, that this remedy
will effectually control or cure them in a very short
: time.
1 find your Vermifuge to fully answer the purpose in
relieving children of worms without any thing else to
follow. It would be very advantageous for families to
use frequently on mere suspicion that worms exist.
] From your long experience in the practice of medi
cine, and extensive engagement in the Drug business,
• I doubt not but all your compound medicines (Pharma
| ceuticals) are in advance of any thing offered to the
public. Yours, &c.
THOMAS B. GORMAN, M. D.
What a distinguished Physician says, who has pre
scribed this medicine extensively:
Talbotton, Sept. 23.
Dr Lirle —Dear Sir:- —I take pleasure in stilting
i that I have been in the habit of prescribing vour Ano
dyne Cough Drops in my practice, lor some lime past,
and have found it admirably adapted to the disease of
the chest and lungs. I have no hesitency in saying
it is the most effectual remedy lev. * employed ; in no
instance have 1 known it used without material benefit,
and most frequently by an immediate cure.
Respectfully yours, &,c

The City of San Francisco.
The followin'? description of the city, known
abroad only by the above name, but by its in
habitants by the name of Yekba Buena, is
(copied from the California Star.
Yerba Buena (Sun Francisco) the Rame of
i our town which means “good herb ” is situa
ted on the South-west side ot the principal
, arm of San Francisco bay, about five miles
: from the ocean, on a narrow neck of land, va
! tying from four to ten miles in width —the nar
rowest place being sixteen miles South-west
of the town. It is in lat. 37 45 N. This nar
row strip of land is about 69 miles in length,
extending from the point formed by the bay
and the ocean, to tire valley of San Jose.—
The site of the town is handsome and com
manding—being an inclined plane of about a
mile in extent from the water’s edge, to the ,
hills in the rear. Two points of land—one on
each side, extending into the bay. form a cres
cent or small bay, in the shape of a crescent,
in front, which hears the name of the town. — ;
These points afford a fine view of the sur- j
rounding country —the snow-capped moun
tains i:i the distance —the green valleys be
neath them—the beautiful smooth add unruf
fled bay in front and on either side, at once j
hurst upon the eye. There is in front of the i
town a small island, rising high above the ‘
surface of the hay. about two miles long, anti |
one wide, which is covered the greater part of I
the year with the most exuberant herbage of
untrodden freshness. This little island is a- ‘
bout three miles from the principal anchor- !
age. Here vessels of all nations rest in safety j
and peace, and their flags are displayed by j
the aromatic breeze.
Two hundred yards from the shore, there is
twenty-four feet of water, and a short distance j
beyond that, as many fathoms. Tile beach
immediately in front of the now business part (
ol the town is fhulving. but it will no doubt
in a short time be filled up and become the
most valuable part of the place.
The climate here is, in the winter, which is
the rainy reason, damp and chilly. During
the balance of the year, it is dry. hut chilly i
in consequence ot the continual strong winds J
from the North and North west. There is
hut little variation in the atmosphere through
out the year; the thermometer ranging from
55 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Yarha Buena
is one of the most healthy places on the whole
coas, of the Pacific. Sickness of any kind is
rarely known among is. The salubrity of
the climate —beauty of tin* site of the town —
its contiguity to the mouth of the hay—the
finest harbor oa the whole coast in front—the
rich and beautiful country around it all con
spire to render it one of the best commercial
points in the world. The town is new. having
been laid off in 1839. by Capt. John Vieget;
and notwithstanding all the troubles in the
country, has gradually increased in size and
importance. It now contains a population of
about 500 permanent citizens. Two years ago
there were but about 200. Three miles South
is the Mission Dolores, on Mission creek, sur
rounded by a small valley of rich and beauti
ful land. The water from this creek can easi
ly be brought by means of acqueducts to any
puint to supply vessels. For the supply of
the citizens the best of well water is obtained
in any part of the town, by boring the dis
tance of forty feet. In going Soutli from
Yerba Buena, the traveller passes over this
narrow neck of lart l; a most delightful region,
interspersed with hills, valleys and mountains;
the valleys rich and beautiful ; the hills cov
ered with tall pines, red wood and cedar, that
have withstood the tempesls and whirlwinds
of a century, and the mountains rising in ma
jestic grandeur to the clouds. In passing out,
the valley of San Jose opens to the view in
till the loveliness of the climate of Italy and
beauty of the tropics.
The valley is about sixty miles in length
and ten in width. The Pueblo, which means
an incorporated town, is the principal place of
business tor the valley, anil is about five miles
from Santa Clara, the landing, on the hay. as
it is termed here, “the embarcadaro.” Pass
ing on from here northeast, the traveller in a
few hours ride, reaches the Straits, which sep
erate the Susisuit bay. formed by the conflu
ence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin riv
ers from that ofSan Pablo. Here .t seems that
the accumulated waters of a thousand years
had suddenly rent the opposing mountains
sunder, and flowed with tremendous force to
he great bosom of the deep. On the north
side of the bay.from the straits to Sousilito. is
one of the finest districts es country in all Up
per California. Next to Yerba Buena Sou
silito is the bes l point on the whole ray for a
commercial town. It is seven miles a little
east of north from this place, on the opposite
side of tile bay, and has long been a watering
point lor vessels. An attempt lias recently
been made to lay off and build'up a town at
the straits, to supersede the two mentioned
places, it will, no doubt, however, be an en
tire failure- San Francisco bay being the
safest and most commodious harbor on the en
tire coast of the Pacific, some point on it must
be the great mart ol the western world. We
believe Yerba Buena is the point, coinmund
[ ing as it does now, all the trade of the sur
rounding country, and there being already a
large amount of capital concentrated here,
j The town of Yerba Buena is called in some
of the old maps of the country San Francisco,
it is not known b/ that name here however.
Fite town takes its name Iron an herb to be
found all around it, which isgnidto make good
tea ; and possessing excellent medicinal qual
ities, it is called good herb, or Buena.
Subterranean Lake.
We believe we have heretofore noticed the
fact that a subterranean lake has been discov
ered i.u Michigan, on the line of the Central
R; ulroiad, near the town of Niles. We gath
er the following particulars in relation to this
lake from the Detroit Free Press.
‘• In crossing a low swale, or marsh, it be
en ne necessary to make an embankment about
twenty feet high, to cor respond with the grade
of the road, and the narrowest part of the
marsh was chosen, being about 1,000 feet
across, on either side ol which was high level
ground. After the embankment had been
carried about forty feet on to this low ground,
theiiiirth gradually gave way and sunk down
into what seemed to he a bottomless pit.—
The sudden disappearance of the embank
ment was accompanied by tremendous convul
sions of the ground for some distance around
where the casualty occurred, and cracks were
‘caused by the upheaving of the ground, deep
l and large enough to bury a cart and horse in.
From exploration and researches made, it ap
pears that the piece of ground over which the
’ grading was to tie made, had once been a
lake, but was covered by a soil of roots, inuck,
&c., to the thickness of from ten to twelve leet.
The submerged lake is about two miles long,
and is in some parts half a mile wide. At the
place where this railroad track crosses it, is
the narrowest. At one end of the lake is
what appears to have been an island, as there
are trees of large growth standing, while on
! nearly the entire circuit of the lake the ground
or surface of tea feet has become so hardened
that the best of grass is grown and the spot
i has been regularly mowed this several years.
We believe, in some parts of it good potatoes
have been grown. The depth of the lake i
ascertained to be about eighty feet in the
deepest part, and the water as clear and puro*
as that in the river at this city.
■ After the sinking of the first grading
j the work was pushed ahead with increased
Strength, and Tor eight ‘months, eighty hands
•; were employed continually, day and night.
. one set retiring as the other came on the
work. As the embankment gradually ex
tended out over the part that had sunk into
the sod and crust, again it would become so
heavy that another sinking would take place,
and in this manner the work has been going
on. The excavation snd embankment was
atler a while commenced on both sides of the
lake, and a few weeks since, the filling-in had
met at the bottom, and the prospect was that
I no more trouble would be found in rapidly
completing the work.
” The soil on the surface of the lake is of a
rich black color, and in some places has been
plowed and planted. The grass grown is of
a good quality, and the pasturage during the
season, of the very best. It is certainly strange
that the discovery had not been made before,
but the oldest inhabitants never thought ot the
matter —and in all brobability. it would never
have been brought to light had not this road
caused it. The ground was as solid, seem
ingly. as any marsh and at all events, suffi
ciently so for all practical purposes, except
railroad embankments.”
Sources of the Nile—Discoveries.
The last number of Littell’s Living Age has
a remarkably interesting article on Werne’s
expedition to the sources of the Nile. This
wonderful stream, our readers know, has nev
er been traced to its source, which some
where in the inierior of Africa. The Nile has
two branches, called the Blue Nile and the
White Nile. The source of the former of
these w;ts discovered by Brtiee. in the interior
of Abyssinia, but such was the popular beliel
that the sources ot the Nile could not be dis
covered. that Bruce was not believed! One
of the best modern travellers, who told a very
accurate story, was not believed because it
was incredible that the springs of the Nile
should be known, or that such a peculiar race
of blacks should exist as were found in these
regions of ancient Ethiopia !
Believed or not. however, Bruce’s account
was true. He did discover the springs of the
Blue Nile. But the Blue Nile was much the
shortest branch. It bore the same relation to
the White Nile (which is the real river) as
the Upper Mississippi does to the Missouri. —
It is the inierior branch. The real source of
the Nile remained to be discovered, and is not
yet known.
The White Stream, (Nile) which is the
Western branch, is the largest. Prior to the
expedition fitted out by Mehcmed Ali. in 1830,
and in which Mr. YY'erne was a passenger, the
tarthest, point reached up the Nile was in lat
itude about 10 degrees. But. although the
source is not yet exactly known, we do know
that it is very near, if not just exactly on the
equator.
Mr. Werne, in this expedition reached lati
tude 4 degrees, or nearly 400 miles beyond
the previously ascertained limit. There was
an obstruction or lall in the stream, and it
grew narrower as Nr. Werne thougiit; but it
was quite certain its sources were \ et several
hundreds of miles farther. The sources of
the Nile and the Niger will probably he found
not far apart. They are said to be in the
“Mountains of the Moon;” but who knows
anythin* of the Mountains of the Moon l No
one. There are unknown lands which may
yet reward some future adventurers with the
fame ot’ discovery.
It is most curious, that the latitude 4 deg.
(to which Air. YY'erne penetrated) is several
degrees beyond the print at which the heads
of the Nile are placed on our common maps,
while it is certain that the real springs were
yet hundreds of miles beyond latitude 4 deg.
All our ideas of Central Africa, (generally re
presented as a desert.) are deranged by the
fact, that Mr. YVerne found these remote re
gions luxurunt in foliage, and inhabited by
dense swarms of people ! These people were,
some of them gigantic in suture, while they
were most savage in life.
The voyage of this Egyptian expedition
was one of peculiar interest. It has but re
cently been given to the English public. Mr.
Werne being a German. Blackwood’s Maga
zine thus speaks of it:
“ We can conceive few things more exciting
than such a voyage as Mr. Werne has accom
plished and recorded. Starling from the out
posts of civilization, he sailed into the very
heart Atrica up a stream whose upper waters
were then for the first time furrowed by ves
sels larger than a savage’s canoe —a stream
ot such gigantic proportions, that its width,
at a thousand miles irotn the sea. gave it the
aspect of a lake rather than of a river. The
brute creation were in proportion with the
magnitude of the water course. The hippo
potamus reared his huge snout above the sur
face, and wallowed in the gullies that on eith
er hand run down to the stream ; enormous
crocodiles gaped along the shore; elephants
played in herds upon the pastures ; the tall
giraffe stalked among the lofty palms; snakes
thick as trees lay coiled in the slimy swamps;
and ant hills, ten feet high, tovvere ; above the
rushes. Along the thickly peopled banks
hordes of savages showed themselves, gazing
in wonder at the strange ships, and making
ambiguous gestures, variously construed by
the adventurers as signs ol friendship or hos
tility. Alternately sailing or towing, as the
wind served or not ; constantly in sight of
natives, but rarely communicating with them ;
often cut off’for days from land by intermina
ble fields of tangled weeds —the expedition
put sued it* course through innumerable perils
guaranteed from most of them by the liquid
rampart o.t which it floated. Lions looked
hungry, and savages shook their spears but
neither showed a disposition to swim off’ and
boiird the flotilla. — Cin. Atlas:
Beautiful Extract.
The influence of Christianity on sociely is
not exerted through the cannon of the war
rior, and the despatches of the statesman, but
in the sweet breathings of truth that come on
the opening petals of the breast of infancy,
like spice-laden zephyrs from the land of the
ble.'t—in the gentle words of love that fall in
dewey freshness on the wondering ear of child
hood. from grey haired sires and sweet-voiced
matrons —in the nameless tellings of high and
holy things, wrapped in ihe deep unutterable
voices of the eternities, that come to the silent
ear of youth, belore the din and strife of the
babbling world have stunned these inner sen
ses of tiie soul—in the longing and wistful
thoughts of things of deep, abysmal mystery
that steal into the soul in its lonely musings
in the solitary chamber —in the deep hush of
the moaning forest —in the awful silence of
the hollow midnight —in the seasons of gloomy
doubt and l'rantic effort to scale the prison
walls ol mystery and darkness that rises and
closes in encircling silence around all—in times
of heartsickness and disappointment, when
reaching lorlh the hand of warm, confiding
trust, it grasps the cold and slippery skin of
the adder —it is then that Christianity, with
its wonderful tellings of infinite things comes
with apocalyptic splendor and power, and re
vealing itself to the soul, creates those mar
tyr spirits that stamp their lineaments on the
enduring rock.— Moore.
Inward Influence ot'Outward Beauty*
Believe me. there is many a road into our
hearts besides our ears and brams; many a
sight and sound, and scent, even of which we
have never thought, ail, sinks into our memo
ry. and helps to shape our character, and thus
children brought up among beautiful sights,
and sweet sounds will most likely show the
."fruits of their nursing by thoughtfulness and
atiection, and nobleness of mind, even by the
expression of the countenance. Those who
live in towns should carefully remember this,
for their own sakes, toMbeir wife’s safes, ior
their children’s sakes. Never lose an oppor*
tuiity ot eyeing anything beautiful.

Dow’s Sermon on Debts.
Text—“ Oice no man anything .”
Keep out of debt. Avoid it as you would
war. pestilence and famine. Shun it as you
would the devil. Hate it with a perfect ha
tred. Abhor it with an entire and absolute
abhorrence. Dig potatoes, break stones, ped
dle tin-ware, do anything that is honest an
useful, rather than run in and ht. As you value
comfort, quiet, independence, keep can of debt.
As you value good digestion, a healthy apf i
- tite, a placid temper a smooth pillow, sweet
, sleep, pleasant dreams, and happy wakings,
keep out of debt. Debt is the liardem of all
task-masters the most cruel of all opprt ssors.
It is an incubus oa the heart. If spr, ads a

Influence of a Smile.
It is related in the life of a celebrated math
ematician, William Hutton, that a respecta
ble looking countrywoman called upon him
one day. anxious to speak with him. She told
him with an air of secrecy, that her husband
behaved unkindly to her. and sought other
company, frequently passing his evenings from
home, which made her feel extremely unhap
py, and knowing Mr. Hutton to be a wise man
she thought he might be able to toll her 1 iow
she should manage to cure her husband.
The case was a common one and lie thought
he could prescribe for it without losing his re
putation as a conjuror. ‘ The remedy is a
simple one,” said lie, ‘‘but I have never known
it to fail. Always treat your husband with a
smiled
The woman expressad her thanks, dropped
a curtesy ami went away. A few months af
terwards she waited on Mr. Hutton, with a
couple of fine fowls which she begged him to
accept. She told him. white a tear of joy and
gratitude glistened in her eye, that she lmd
followed his advice, and her husband was
cured. He no longer sought the company of
others, but treated her with constant love and
kindness.
Moral Character.
There is nothing which adds so much to
the beauty and power of man, as a good mor
al character. It is his wealtii —his influence —
his life. It dignifies him in every station—
exalts him in every condition, and glorifies
him at every period of life. Such a character
is more to be desired than every tinny else on
earth. It makes a man free and independent.
No servile tool —no crouching sycophant—no
treacherous honor-seeker ever bore such a
character. The pure joys of truth and righ
teousness never spring in such a bosom. If
young men but knew how much a good char
acter would dignify and exalt them—how glo
rious it would make their prospects, even in
this life, never should we find them yielding
to the grovelling and base-born passions of
human nature. — Steele.
Playing the Devil.
We were a good deal amused at an anec
dote we heard the other day, of a certain
preacher, whose calling confined him wiihin
the limits of old Kentucky: He had pre. r -
ed in his parish many years, and of course luuJ
run short of the eloquence so much needed to
keep his hearers awake and astonished.. Let
bun preach ever so well now it makes no dif
ference, they had got used to him used lo his
ways, and used to sleeping; and ship they
would to his great annoyance. At last lie hit
upon an expedient to bring ’em up standing,
as the saying is. He piocim-d a small tin
w'histle. which he took with Inm into tl e | ul
pit, and after- taking his text and • hi; zmg
away’ until his lungs were sore and I i> In ar
ers all comfortably dozing and noduii g ap
proval to each other, he suddenly un w it
forth, and gave a shrill xoot-a toot. In s-.ri in
stant the whole congregation were awake and
upon their feet staring at the minister at each
other, aud wondering what in the name of
pickles and human nature, as Sam Slick t-avs.
was to come next. ‘‘You’re a set of tin it
specimens of humanity, aint ye ?” raid i e
divine whistler, as he slowly gazed sv'.und
upon his astonished assemblage. •• Wl e.i I
preach the Gospel to you. you all go to sh *q ;
but the moment 1 go to playing tire devil,
you’re all wide awake, up and coming like a
rush of hornets with a pole in their nest 1”
Cooking Food lor Animals.
The Maine Cultivator reminds its readers
who may be skeptical as to the importance of
cooking lor their domestic animals, that now
is the time for a fair trial of the system. ISome
wiseacres object to the method in tola be
cause, say they, ‘ it is contrary to nature. —
In a purely primutive condition, every animal
partakes of its sustenance raw.” We are not
advised that fire-ranges or cooking stoves were
used in Eden, and we suppose that the apple
which Eve ate, was also raw;” — but ti.ai
this is far from constituting a solid argument
against using that species of fruit in any other
form than that in which ‘nature’ presents it to
us. If good and w holesome as it comes ripe
and luscious from the bough, as most will ad
mit, we contend that it is sometimes more pal
atable and always more nutritious cooked.
Because the first inhabitants of the earth were
nomadic in their habits, it is no reason that
houses are of no utility, nor do we think be
cause a hog can exist and fatten on raw corn,
potatoes, barley, buckwheat, and many other
similar productions, that it is useless to cook
them for him. On the contrary, we know that
all food is greatly enhanced in value by cook
ing.
Stewed Celery.
The editor of the Horticulturist gives the
following mode of cooking celery, and from
long experience of its merits recommends it
as a delicious dish: —”Jut the blanched or
white portion of the celery stalks in prices
about an inch in length and put them in a
saucepan over the fire with milk and water,
in equal proportions, barely sufficient to cover
them ; add a little salt, and let them stew gent
ly until perfectly tender. Then take out the

Caterpillars.
An English agricultural paper gives the

practised by a gardener near Glasgow. A
peice of woollen rag had been blown by the
wind into a currant bush, and when taken oi£j
was tound to be covered by the
ing insects. Taking the hint', he inmnJjggfcp;
placed peices of woollen cloth in evf/.7' 7 %%
in his garden, and found the next day \
caterpillears had uinversSHiy taken to/
for shelter. In this way he destroys
thousauds every morning! • •
