The Voice of the Pestilence.
[This splendid poem was written in 1831, on the ap
proach of the cholera from the East towards the West
ern parts of Europe, and is appropriate to its renewed
apparition and westward progress, as mentioned in
recent journals.— Ed. N. O. Pic.]
Breathless the course of the Pale White Ilorse,
Bearing the ghastly form ;
Rapid and dark the spectre bark
YVhen it sweeps before the storm !
Balefully bright through the torrid night
Ensanguined meteors glare ;
Fiercely the spires of volcanic fires
Stream on the sulphuriousair!
Shades of the slain through the murderer’s brain
Flit terrible and drear ;
Shadowy and swift the black storm-drift
Doth trample the atmosphere !
But swifter than all, with a darker pall
Os terror around my path,
I have arisen from my lampless prison—
Slave of the high God’s wrath !
A deep voice went from the firmament,
And it pierced the caves of the earth ;
Therefore I came on my wings of flame
From the dark place of rny birth !
And it is said : “Go forth from the South to the North
Over you wandering ball ;
Sin is t he king of that doomed thing,
And the sin-beguiled must fall!” °
Forth from the gate of the Uncreate—
From the portals of the abyss ;
From the caverns dim, where vague forms swim,
And shapeless chaos is!
From Hades’ womb—from the joyless tomb
Os Erebus and Old Night—
From the unseen deep, where Death and Sleep,
Broad in their mystic might :
I come, I come; before me are dumb
The nations, aghast for dread—
Lo ! I have pa?t as the desert blast,
And the millions of earth lie dead !
A voice of fear from the hemisphere
Tracketh me where I fly!
Earth weeping aloud for her widowhood—
A wild and desolate cry !
Thrones and dominions beneath my pinions
Cower like meanest things—
Melt from my presence the pride and the pleasaunce
Ot pallor-stricken Kings!
Sorrow and mourning supremely scorning,
My throne is the boundless air—
My chosen shroud i9 the dark plumed cloud.
Which the whirling breezes bear!
Was I not borne on the wings o* the morn
From the jungles of Jessore,
Over the plain of the purple main,
To the far Mauritian shore ?
To the isles which sleep on the sunbright deep
Os a coral-paved sea,
Where the blue waves welter beneath the shelter
Os Heaven’s serenity 1
I - rom the womb of the waters, athirst for slaughters
1 rose that thirst to sate ;
These green isles are graves in the waste of the waves,
1 heir beauty is desolate.
From the wide Erythean.the noise of my pasan
Rolled on the southern blast ;
Eternal Taurus made answering chorus
From his glaciers lone and vast!
Did I not pass his granite mass,
And the ridged Caucasian hill,
Over burning sands, over frost-chained lands,
Borne at my own wild will ?
Then hark to the beat of my hastening feet,
Thou shrined in the sea ;
Where are thy dreams that the ocean streams
Would be safety unto thee ?
Awaken ! awaken ! my wings are shaken
Athwart the troubled sky !
Streams the red glance of my meteor lance,
And the glare of mine eager eye !
Harken! eh harken! my coming shall darken
The light of thy festal cheer ;
In thy storm-rocked home on the Northern foam
Nursling of Ocean—hear!
Overlooking Nothing.

Napoleon’s Heart.
When Bonaparte died, it is well known that
his heart was extracted, with the design of
being preserved. The British physician who
had charge of the wondrous organ, had de
posited it in a silver basin, among water, and
retired to rest, leaving two tapers burning be
i sides it in his chamber. He often confesses to
his friends, while narrating the particulars,
that be felt very nervously anxious as the cus
todier of such a deposit, and. though he reclin
l cd, he did not sleep. While lying thus, awake,
lie heard, during the silence of the night, first,
Ia rustling noise, then a plunge among the wa
! ter in the basin, and then the sound of an ob
ject falling, with a rebound, on the floor —all
occurring with the quickness of thought. Dr.
A. sprang from his bed, and the cause of the
intrusion upon his repose was explained—it
j was an enormous Normandy rat dragging the
! heart of Napoleon to its hole. A tew mo
; ments more, and that which had been too vast
in its ambition to be satisfied with the sover
j eignty of continental Europe, would have
| been found in a more degraded position than
the dust of Ctesar stopping a beer barrel —
it would have been devoured as the supper
of a rat! “To such vile uses must we come

Joe’s Failing Discovered*
Our old friend Joe is what is generally term
ed a bad boy, and succeeded in blinding his
j mother lor some time, as to his imbibing pro
pensities, and one morning she said to him af
j ter lie had swallowed some half dozen cups of
I coffee, and as many glasses of cold water —
“ Joseph, thee should drink something before
thee goes to bed at night—thee is always so
thirsty in the morning.”
But one night, one fatal night, Joe come in
before the old lady retired. He sat down and,
with that look of semi-intoxicated wisdom, be
gan conversing about the goodness of the
crops, the late unfortunate outbreak in the
meeting, and was getting on very well until
j he espied what he supposed to be a cigar on
J the mantle-piece ; he caught it and placing*
one end in his mouth, began very gravely to
light it at. the candle. He drew and puffed
until he was getting red in the face. The old
lady’s eyes were at last opened, and she ad-
I dressed him—
-1 “Joseph, it thee takes that tenpenny nail
! for a cigar, it is time thee went to bed.’
Engagement of the Mississippi Riflemen.
After the Mexicans had failed in their at
tack upon Buena Vista, they made a deter
mined effort to force their way to the road at
a point nearer the plateau. They brought
down, from near the mountains opposite the
hacienda, a fresh brigade of cavalry, covered
by infantry in ail its passages of ravines. With
this they advanced to engage the Mississippi
riflemen, the fragment of the 2d Indiana volun
teers, and the 3d regiment of the same, who
were still acting together, and who had near
them one howitzer, under Capt. Sherman.
The position of these troops were some five
hundred yards nearer the road than the point
where Col. Davis’s regiment was first engag
ed in the morning, but farther down the same
ravine. As soon as this new brigade indicat
ed the manner of its approach, its determina
tion to charge our riflemen and infantry, they
vverc rapidly formed to receive it. The Mis
sissippi regiment in line of battle, extending
across the little plain on which they now were,
their right being near the ravine, their iront
toward the mountains—the Indiana troops
were formed so that their left rested on the
right of Col. Davis’s regiment, their right upon
the ravine higher up. their front being also
towards the mountains, hut more to the north.
In this way, an obtuse re-entering angle was
presented towards the approaching cavalry ;
Shermans’s howitzer being on its left. The
enemy was lormcd in close column of squad
rons, and came down the slope at an easy-hand
gallop. His ranks were well closed, his troop
ers riding knee to knee, ami dressing hand
somely on their guides. All the (lags and pen
nons were Hying—some fifteen hundred of
them—the men were in full uniform, anti the
horses elegantly caparisoned. Every lancer
sat erect, and kept his charger well in hand ;
and the whole brigade, preserving exactly its
intervals, and the direction of its march, mov
ed forward with the ease and regularity of the
best drilled troops on a field-day. Had the
commander of this beautiful brigade desired
to win the applause of both armies, he could
not have put it in better order, or led his men
on vvilh more professional style. The lout en
semble of his column was most admirable. It
had a sort of air about it —an easy nonchalant
manner of going into the work—which could
not. but recall to one’s mind li is ideal pictures
of the cavalry of the olden days. Those fine
fellows were the chivalry of Mexico, and, with
the exception of the President’s personal
guard—the regiment of Hussars —they were
the most dashing troops the Republic ever
oorU to the, field. Oppuoed to itILIU WCIC OUT
men on foot—a mere handful in comparison,
and having about them none of the “pomp
and circumstance,” the glitter, and gold, and
feathers, and tassels, of their antagonists.
They stood calmly and fearlessly still, with
t heir pieces at a carry. But they, too, had an
air ; one that had mischief in it. Their ranks
had been thinned out; some of their best men
had fallen. There were even fathers stand
ing there, whose sons had gone down by their
sides— their best boys, whom they had reared
and brought forth to fight tor their country.
And there were sons, too, whose clothes had
been baptised by their father’s blood, not yet
dry. Brothers, who had stood shoulder to
shoulder in the morning, stood so no more ;
but while one lay stark and motionless upon
the earth, the other was near by to avenge
him. There were neighbors, too, and friends,
who had grown up together in school boy days.
They were not yet separated. The survivors
stood there, while those who had borne all
iiiese tender relations to them were strewn,
dead or dying, on every hand. Yet all in
sight they lay—the familiar forms and faces
*o iiiey littu oceu ueepiy attacnea, and
whom they called by their first names from
their infancy. It cannot be wondered, then,
that these men stood firm.
It was a sublime, a terrible sight. The
troops on both sides were so cool and deter
mined, that all knew the struggle must he
sanguinary and desperate in the extreme. Not
a word was spoken ; the din of surrounding
battle seemed fora moment hushed ; the rum
bling sound of the earth, as the brigade swept
onward like a living thunderbolt, appeared
to be the only audible manifestation of the
approaching carnage. As the Mexicans came
nearer, they evidently indulged the belief that
they could draw the lire of our men before it
could be very destructive; and that then
while the pieces were empty, they could over
whelm the slight barrier before them, and fin
ish their work with the lance. But finding,
on the cont rary, that not a piece was discharg
ed, not a man moving, the whole brigade be
gan instinctively to diminish its gait. This
was a fatal mistake ; and on their side it seem
ed a very great pity it should have been made,
it was so out of keeping with the skill indicat
ed by their soldierly appearance and gallant
bearing. Finally, instead of dashing forward
in a most splendid charge, as they could have
done, having the ground upon which to exe
cute it, they had the madness to pull up to a
walk, and at length to halt,in the very net
work of the two lines of fire. The instant
they did so, the pieces came down on both
faces of the angel, as if swayed by the same
hand. For a moment their muzzles moved
slowly about, as each man felt lor his aim;
then they settled steady and firm as brass or
steel. Now, like the blast of a trumpet, the
dicadful word was shouted —Firb ! The
sheets of flame converged on that beautiful
brigade.
It was appalling ! The whole head of the
column was prostrated, and riderless horses,
a multitude, and crimsoned with blood, seat
ed with it in every direction.
Before the Mexicans could recover from the
efl’ects of this blow, Sherman cut them up
with grape and canister. Then came the
rapid and deadly firing by file, of our riflemen
and infantry. No troops in the world could
have faced it without the most awful sacrifice
of life; and under it the whole brigade gave
way, and fled towards the mountains, leaving
the.ground literally covered with its dead.
In this alliiir, had it not been for that unac
countable and suicidal pulling up to a halt,
before a body of the best marksman in the
world, and distance only eighty yards—had
this compact mass of cavalry, in room of do
ing thus, dashed at speed into the angle that
was before them, they would have lost many
men, no doubt; but it is difficult to conceive
what could have saved the Mississippi and
Indiana troops from destruction. And had so
large a force broken through our lines, and at
this time gained the road between Buena Vis
to and La Angostura, the fortunes of the day
would again have been placed in a jeopardy
most painful to contemplate. —From Carle
tort's -'Battle of Buena Vista.”
The Peach Tree.
A N. Y. letter in the Nat. Intelligencersays:
At the meeting of the Farmers’ Club of the
American Institute, 10-day, Mr Pell, one of
the most intelligent and successful of our sci
entific farmers, besides reading an able essay
on the general economy of the farm, and its
management with regard to stock, manures,
&c., stated the results of his experience in the
culture of the peach tree. Contrary to the
more common usage, his practice was to ap
ply the pruning knife very freely lo his peach
trees. lie gave them rich soils, and stimulat
ed their growth, but at the same time kept
them down by very close pruning, or, as he
termed it, “excessive pruning.” This prac
tice, he believes, increased the quantity of
fruit, preserved the health ot the tree, and
prolonged its life. While others, who suffer
ed their trees to grow without pruning, were
losing them at five, six, or seven years old. he
had them in a good bearing state thirty years
old. His advice was to prune the peach tree
freely. He thought there was no danger of
pruning it too much.
Industrial Pursuits—Honor to the Toil
W otn Hand.
It is a painful fact, although derogatory to
our character as republicans, that the grades
in society are not regulated in the country, as
they should be, by the true standard of merit
talent, and useful in men, but very generally
by a Goldometer applied by the ridiculous
rules of fashion. Under our government the
royal gift or patent of title and nobility cannot
be conferred on individuals, that they may
strut higher than their fellow-men; nor can the
position of any citizen in civil life give him
claim on his neighbor for more than the ordi
nany courtesies of good society, as taught and
inculcated by the rules of decorum and
breeding. But is there not an aristocracy”
found in American society', whose exactions,
whose exclusiveness, and whose conventional
rules —both of theory and in practice—appear
as ridiculous to the well-balanced and judi
cious mind as those of the titled and tinselled
aristocracy of monarchical governments ?
That this is the case, we think few will de
ny. That dignity’, which honest industry and
scientific acquirements in the mechanical arts
confer upon their possessor, is not recognised
to the extent it should be in our social system.
The educated mechanic or the tradesman does
not generally occupy that position in society
to which lie is righteously entitled ; and. with
but an exception now and then, and at partic
ular seasons—in an election canvass or the
like—lie is too generally regarded as a mem
ber of an interior grade ot’ society. It be
hooves us to inquire why this false state of
things exists among us. The raechaical arts
have not flourished with us to such a degree
as to constitute any great portion of the
wealth of our section. How few eminent and
educated mechanics or manufacturers, in the
various branches of trade, are found among
us, or at least receive the encouragement and
support sufficient to make a residence with us
desirable or profitable. Our boots and shoes;
our hats; our furniture; our cutlery; our axes;
y r es, even our exe-helves; our wood-saws; our
locks and hinges; our spades; our plows; and
hoes, and in short, every article we use. comes
from abroad. This state of things may be in
part attributable to our agricultural system —
to our extensive production of cotton, which
monopolizes the en ire productive energies of
this latitude; but the question may be fairly
put, is it nut afeo in some degree owing lo
causes within our power to remove ?
The people of the South have, just at this
time, abundant matter for serums consid.em
uon, and, among the vanoiß subjects entitled
to a large share of their reflections, is the in
quiry how they may best elevate and foster
the mechanic and manufacturing interests in
all their branches. Industry, ingenuity, en
terprise, and mechanical talent, when accom
panied by a sound education, such as is gen
erally bestowed upon the ymith of our coun
try’, are among the chief elements of a nation’s
strength. And why, then, should not those
engaged in bringing- the elements into success
ful action, in their appropriate sphere, be not
regarded as equal to those of any other pro
fession in life. They are really so —yes, and
superior to hundreds of drones, who. with a
showy and superficial education, and the
wealth of their more industrious ancestors,
imply’ condescension in every word and look
they bestow upon the industrious mechanic.
Tins ought nol so to he —these artificial dis
tinctions of society’, among intelligent and in
dustrious citizens of an enlightened country,
are inimical to our prosperity and to the inter
ctftn of tne republic.
The above is taken, from the South Caroli
nian—it is above comment.
Labor and Capital.
It has been wisely decreed by Providence
that the comforts and conveniences ofour phy
sical existence, and our menttd too, should be
obtained by labor. The humble fare of the
peasant, the scanty furniture of his domicil,
the mansion of the rich man with all its gilded
appendages are produced, collected and ar
ranged by labor. This being true, it follows
as a matter of course, that the greater amount
of labor that is perlbrmed. the greater amount
of the necessaries, comforts and luxuries of
life will be the result. All improvements in
machinery tend to this result, and must there
fore be a benefit to the world. In confirma
tion of this, we need only refer to the ditfer
ence in the dwellings and dress of the work
ing classes at the present day, and the work
ing classes of the fourteenth century. But
the change is more apparent in the abodes of
opulence than in the dwellings of those who
may be termed the poorer of the people.—
From this circumstance many are led to ques
tion the utility of improvements, because the
advantages resulting from them are monopo
lized in a great measure by those who have
but a small share in their production.
The apparent unjust, distribution of the
goods of this life, is the result of the relation
between labor and capital. But what is capi
tal in the strict sense of the word ? Accu
mulated labor, for money is the acknowledged
representative of labor. Were there no ac
cumulated labor (capital) in our country’,
what would be the difference between us and
the sluggard whom the wise preacher, exhort
ed to “go to the ant and learn to be wise, for
she layeth up her food for the winter.”—
Capital bringeth to the possessor of it, all
those ingenious contrivances which increase
production, and if the capit.nl is honestly at
tained, who should find fault, for it is paid out
again as an exchange for the mill, or the oth
er machinery that is purchased to increase
production. If a man stipulates to perforin a
certain amount of work for a hundred dollars
that might take him 100 days to perform, .and
he discovers some implemeot whereby be can
complete it in 10 days, has he not the same
right still to his $5100? Surely he has, and
the 90 days that are now left at his disposal
may be employed to produce a house to shield
him from the weather, or perform any other
kind of labor that will increase his comforts.
No man should find fault with this. It is no
doubt true that there is a disproportionate dif
ference between the returns which labor brings
and the returns of capital. This is not the
fault of the capital, but the way in which it is
managed. It is indeed wrong to injure any
class for the sake of benefitting another class,
but this is a nice question to discuss. Capi
tal is good, and not an evil, but as it is used,
and surely the greatest 1 and most noble man
ner of using it, is in doing good with it.—
Without accumulated capital, ij would be im
possible to conduct the affairs of the worl i in
the present highly civilized state of society.
Without a very large capital invested, we
would see no steamboat crossing the Atlantic,
and no railroads bearing their rich freights
from lake to ocean. When capital is fairly
and freely paid in exchange for labor, as it
should always be, it is certainly a great ele
ment in popular elevation.

Origin of the Prairies*
Respecting the origin of these immense
fields, we have no satisfactory knowledge. It
is conjectured, and I believe with a good deal
of probability, that their surface was once
covered with the waters of the lake, and that
these having receded, they were left in their
natural evenness of surface, to be enriched by
the deposits of ages, and thus fitted for the
most luxurious vegetation the world ever saw.
There is something imposingly grand in the
idea that the water of the great lakes once ex
tended to the base of the Rocky Mountains,
and that, dammed back by these mighty bar
riers, they were sent Eastward to be hurled
over the precipice of our own Niagara, and
thence through the St. Lawrence, to find en

waters rolled their waves over this quarter of
the globe, then ! and what a cataract was Ni

been wrought—whether it was by a gradual
draining of the fountains, which now send
their diminished supplies through the beds of
tiie Western rivers, or by some mighty con
vulsion of Nature—it is useless to conjecture.
But that the origin of the prairies is such as I
have suggested, seems to be indicated by their
soil, their productions, and the alluvial depo
sits which lie beneath their surface. Who
can say by what mysterious process this gar
den of the world has been preparing for the
occupation and enterprize of the Anglo-Ameri

have rolled away since they commenced. In

labyrinths ol the past for somelhing which

chooses, He will make the revelation.
Ah Interesting Geological Fact.
Professor Agassiz has been delivering a
course of lectures in Boston, on the Trees of
North America. In his last lecture he stated
one remarkable fact in connection with liis
remarks upon the family of the rose, which in
cludes among its varieties, not only many of
the most beautiful flowers which are known.
but also the richest fruits, such as the apple,
pear, peach, plum, apricot, cherry, strawberry,
raspberry, blackberry, &c. —viz : that no J'os
sils belonging to this family has ever been dis
covered by Geologists ! This is regarded as
conclusive evidence that the introduction of
this family of plants upon earth, was coeval
with, or subsequent to, the creation of man.
How beautifully every fact in nature goes
to establish the wisdom and beneficence of
the Creator! Nothing conflicts with the great
design observable in all his works. All is har
mony. all is order, and all contribute to the
happiness of His creatures. Goodness sug
gests tiie ends, and wisdom selects the means,
and they are found simultaneously acting to
gether. The fruits of the earth that furnish the
sustenance of man were not needed before his
creation. The flowers that deck the fields
and perfume the’ air, spring up simultaneously
with his beginning. All the embellishments
of nature are for man’s enjoyment The
flowers might have been made with
out order or variegated colors, or may have
v.i ugly m ificu lorms; a
modification of the atmosphere might have
made the sky a cold grey and the earth a
gloomy black; there might have been no di
versity of mountain and plain ; none of the
beautiful phenomena that impress the exter
nal senses of man at every turn with such de
light and minister so much to his enjoyment,
anJ yet man might have existed with all this
deprivation. But infinite Wisdom has con
structed the visible for man’s instruction as
well us his happiness, and those who study
natural science the most deeply, are nios.; im

New Discovery—Collodion.
A French chemist lias discovered a pro
cess by which Gun Cotton is transformed
from a destructive into a therapeutic agent of
great value. Collodion is tiie name given to
a liquid produced by dissolving gun cotton in
eth“r. It has been advantageously employed
as an agglutinative, and has been found to be
immensely serviceable in the treatment of
wounds. Collodion is applied in file liquid
C-—wk.„ an.. 1 .. ,i*a m i.umet* im
permeable by water, resembling the most lim
pid glass.
The folk wing are the advantages olfered
by the use of Collodion :
1. By its powerful contraction, during evap
oration. collodion draws the edges of a wound
mueh closer than can be obtained either by
suture or adhesive plaster. It exercises an
equal degree of pressure throughout the whole
extent of the wound, and the union is perma
nent.
2. It pn'serves the wound completely from
all contact with the air. through its impermea
bility.
3. It possesses no irritating quality, in re
gard to the skin and the lips of the wound,
which is far from being the case with other
adhesive preparations; and renders sutures
unnecessary lor uniting the edges of a wound,
whatever may lie its extent.
4. It remains in contact with, the skin, until
the moment of cicatrization.
5. It is imjiermeabie to water, consequent
ly admitting washing as often as is deemed lit..
6. It is without color and transparent, so
that the surgeon can always observe what ia
going on beneath, without removing it.
7. Its application does not require the em
ployment of heat; cold merely retards a little
the evaporation of the ether.
8. Its price is moderate.
If any peculiar circumstance affecting the
patient requires it. a little ether suffices to dis
solve the collodion and removes all.

Doctors Easy and Fussy.
There shall be two men, doctors, for exam
ple, of equal learning and skill. They are on
a lookout for practice. Dr. Easy puts his
name on a brass plate on the door, and then
sits down in his drawing-room to wait for pa
tients. Need I say that he is generally to
wait for a long time. But Dr. Fussy does not
approve of this passive system. He keeps a
horse and chaise before he has got a visit to
make. He hires people to alarm all the neigh
borhood by peals of his surgery bell. He is
continually called out of church, and has once
ventured on having his name shouted as be
ing immediately’ wanted while attending a
Lowell lecture. Not a form of advertisement
does Dr. Fussy neglect, and the odds are, in
the end. that he is making a thousand dollars
a year, before Doctor Easy has heard the rat
tat at the door of his first patient. Now per
haps Doctor Fussy may, of the two, be the
humbug ; but I very much question whether
he is the fool. What applies to ihese two Doc
tors applies generally to every trade and pro
fession under the same. Barring lucky chance
now and again, an adventurer will find that
in the battle of life every man must be his
own trumpeter. Sound your charge and ride
