Sighing for lliee, Love, yes, yes, ever sighing,
As wind- roik tlie white crested waves of tut
As low moan- the lulling winds, wailing and dying,
So moans and sighs, dearest, my spirit for thee.
Mellow, o’er orth's emerald bosom is growing
The faint, gilding light of the fast dying day;
Soon will the clustering brilliants be throwing
O’er the - cue a refulgence—a hallowing ray.
Soon from hi r bright, azure dome will be shining,
And kissing the eion 1 rifts, the pale, yellow
moon;
Knters my heart, Love, this beauty—and pining
In solitude’s vale, is my spirit alone.
Sighing for thee while the shadows are creeping
And hiding the violet’s blue, perfumed bed;
Da. i mg, I know these sweet flowers are weeping
With me o’er the hopes that forever are dead.
“Life’s dearest band is forever untwining!”
"On arc's stormy wings will our joys ever flee;
Sighs thro’ the storm the torn ttow’r for the
shining
Os rays that will warm it—so I sigh for thee.
Sighing for thee, Love; ah, yes! ever sighing—
A poor, wounded, broken-winged bird, without
thee;
A- low moans the lulling wind, wailing and dying,
Forever, Love, wailing my spirit shall be.

From Packard's Monthly for June.
One kiss before we pirt!
but one fur love’s sweet sake!
To sweeten, for my heart,
The pain of this mistake.
Your hand is in my own,
Hut your bead is turned away;
For the lirst time and the last,
One little kins, 1 pray!
Nay; though you love me not,
And stub me saying “Fricud !”
Nay; though 1 he forgot
Before a fortnight’s end—
btill let me, kiss the lips
That traitors are. to love —
What! nothing hut your hand !
And that within your glove?
Because the past was sweet;
Because you are so dear;
Because no more we meet
In any future year—
Be kind, and make me glad,
.lii't for a moment’s space—
Think ! 1 shall he so sad,
And never see your face!
On kiss before we part!
And so you nothing meant?
Though 1 tic gone, your heart.
Will keep its old content.
Nuy, not your check—your lips—
-1 claim them us my right—
Small guerdon for great love—
Before we say good night.
Ah! shy, unlooking eyes !
Not true—though blue and rare—
How dare you feign surprise
To know 1 hold you dear?
What coyness will not yield.
Yet itoldm -s, sure, may take —
Well, then, if not for Love’s,
One kiss for Friendship’s sake!
One kiss before we part!
One little kiss, my dear!
One kiss —to help my heart
I ts utter loss to hear.
Om- kiss —to check the tears
My manhood scarce can stay’;
Or thus—l make it “Yes!”
While you are saying “Nay !”
THE THREE SOULS.
In IS In I finished my sixth year of
transcendental philosophy at Heidel
berg. You know of what a lordly sort
the university life is. You get up at
mid-day, smoke your old pipe, drink a
glass or two of schnapps, and then you
but ton your coat tip to the chin, set your
hat on one side, and go to listen calmly
for half an hour to the illustrious Pro
fessor Ilasenkopf. Every one is free to
do as lie chooses—to go to sleep if he
likes. The lecture over, you betake
yourself to the tavern of Gambrinus,
where the pretty servant maids, in
black silk bodices, bring you plates ol
sausages, with slices of ham, and glasses
of strong beer. You whistle an air from
the “Robbers” of Schiller; one calls his
dog Hector; another seizes Charlotte or
Gredale by the waist; or, sometimes a
quarrel begins, when in comes the
watchman, and you are carried off \</
pass the night in durance vile.
In this way the days, mouths and
years passed by.
1 was then thirty-two years old, and
the bottle, the pipe, and saur-kraut had
begun to fall in my estimation. I felt
the need of a change. Often did I say
to myself, “Kasper Zaan, it is not good
to know too much ; nature lias no more
illusions for thee J”
Such was my melancholy stato of
mind, when, toward the close of the
spring of 1845. a terrible event happen
ed which taught me that l was far from
knowing everything, and that the path
of the philosopher is not always strewn
with roses.
Among my old comrades was a cer
tain Wolfgang Schart, the most inflexi
ble logician 1 have ever met with. Fig
ure to yourself a little dried up man,
with white eye-lids, and eyes sunken in
his head, with bushy rod hair, and hol
low cheeks adorned with a coarse beard;
wearing, moreover, a tattered cloak
over his broad shoulders, and you have
him before you. Wolfgang thought
only ot metaphysics. For live or six
years he had lived on bread and water,
in a garret of the old meat-market; so
that the poor fellow was frightful to
look at This strange being, in his vol
untary isolation, seemed to feel for me
alone a little sympathy. He came to
see me from time to time, and gravely
seated in my arm chair, he would im
part to me his wild meditations.
“Kasper,” said he to mo one day—
“ Kasper, what is the soul ?”
Proud of displaying my learning to
his eyes, 1 replied, with a pedantic air,
“According to Thales, it is a kind of
magnet - according to Asclepiades, an
excitation of the senses. Anaximander
said ”
•Yes! yes! but what think you of the
substance of the soul!”
“Me, Wolfgang? I know nothing
about it. All judgment must come of
the senses : and, since the soul does not
fail under my senses, I can make no
judgment concerning it."
“Nevertheless, Kasper, see bow many
animals, such as insects, fiishes, etc.,
wanting one or more of the senses.
llow do we know whether we have
them all ourselves? May there not ex
ist some of which we have not even an
idea ?”
“Quite possible ; but, in the doubt, I
hesitate to say.”
“ Do you think, Kasper, that we can
know auytliingwithout having learned
it ?”
“No; all science proceeds either from
experience or from study.”
“But, then, comrade, how happens it
that the little chickens, when they
break the shell, start off to run and
take theirjfood of themselves ? How is
it that they discover the hawk far up
in the elouds, and take refuge under the
mot her s wings? Did they learn to know
their enemy while they were yet in tlie
C (f £ 9 yt
°“Allthatis the result of instinct, Wolf
gang: all animals arc obedient to in
stinct ” . .
“Then it seems that instinct consists
in knowing what has never been learn
ed?”
“Oh !” said I, “you ask me too much.
How can I tell!”
He smiled disdainfully, threw the
corner of his cloak over his shoulder,
and went out without adding another
word. 1 looked upon him as a lunatic,
but of the most harmless kind. Who
would have thought that the passion
for metaphysics could be dangerous?
Things stood thus when the old cake
woman . Catharine Wogel, suddenly dis
appeared. This good woman, as was
her custom, came to the beer house of
Gambrinus at about eleven o'clock.—
The students joked with her about the
freaks of her youthful days, at the re
membrance of which she seemed much
amusod, and laughed heartily. Her
disappearance came to be remarked the
third day after this.
“ What can have become of Catha
rine? Can she be ill? .She seemed so
merry the last time we saw her?”
My opinion was that the old woman,
having drank a little too much kirsh
water, had fallen into the river during
the night.
On the morrow, coming out from
Ilasenkopfs lecture, I met Wolfgang.
As soon as he perceived me he hastened
toward me, his eye sparkling, and said,
“Kasper, I’ve been looking for you;
man, the hour of triumph has come—
follow me.”
His look, his pallor, his very motion
betrayed extreme agitation ; and, as he
seized me by the arm, leading me to
ward the quarter of the Tanners, I
could not keep down the feeling of un
defined fear that crept over me. The
street through which we proceeded at
a sharp walk led behind the minster
into a collection of houses old as Heidel
berg itself. The square roofs, the wood
en balconies, the exterior crooked stair
ways; the many wan and curious faces
peering with eager air down on the
strangers from the garret windows;
the long poles stretched from house to
house, loaded with dripping skins; the
dense smoke escaping from the rude
chimneys—all this scene passed before
my eyes like a vision ofthe middle ages;
and the few bright rays of light which
found their way through these many
obstructions, gilding the dilapidated
walls where they touched, only added
to my emotion by the strange contrast
they produced.
There are moments when a man loses
all presence of mind. It never occurred
to me to ask Wolfgang where we were
going. Soon we reached the deserted
quarter of the old meat-market. All of
a sudden, Wolfgang, whose dry, cold
hand seemed rivited to my wrist, led
me into a hovel, between the hay-loft
of the Landwehr and the cattle-pen ol
the slaughter-house.
“ Go on a-head,” said he to me.
I followed along a wall of dry earth
at the end of which was a broken stair
case. We climbed through the rubbish;
and, although my companion kept all
the time repeating, in an impatient
voice, “Go on, higher yet!’’ 1 stopped
several times, seized with fear, under
the pretext of gaining breath, but in
reality to ask myself if it were not about
time to turn back.
At last we came to the foot of the
ladder, the top of which was hidden bj
the darkness, reaching up into a loft
above. How I had the folly to climb
u]i that ladder, withoutaskingthe least
explanation from my friend Wolfgang,
is a mystery to me. It would seem as
though madness were contageous.
Up I climbed, he behind me, until I
reached the top. There I stepped upon
the dusty floor of the loft, and looked
around me. It was an immense garret,
the roof pierced with three windows,
and in the midst stood a small table
loaded with books. It was impossible
to look outside, for the windows were
at a height of ten or twelve feet above
the floor. I did not at flrst perceive a
lower door, and a large, square hole at
some Height up, contrived in the wall.
Wolfgang, without saying a word,push
ed toward me an old box which served
him for a chair ; and, taking up in his
two hands a pitcher of water, he drank
a long draught, while I looked on in si
lence.
“ We are in a loft of the old slaughter
house,” said he, with a strange smile,
setting down his pitcher on the floor;
“the council has voted funds for build
ing one outside the city. I have been
here for five years without paying any
rent. Not a soul has come to interrupt
my studies.” Sitting down upon some
old logs of wood in one corner—“ Now,”
continued he, “ let us come to the point.
Are you certain, Kasper, that we have
a soul?”
“Hark you, Wolfgang!” replied I; if
you have brought me here to talk met
aphysics, you’ve made a great mistake.
I had just come from Hasenkopfs lec
ture, and was going to the beer-house
for dinner, when you stopped me. 1
have had my dose of abstraction, and
that is sufficient. Explain yourself
clearly, then, or else let me return to
my dinner.”
“ You live then, only to cat?” said he
in a harsh tone. “Do you know that
I have passed whole days without tast
ing a morsel of food, only for the love
of science ?”
“ Each to his taste; you live on syl
logisms and dilemmas—l love sausages
and strong beer. What else do you
want?”
He became very pale, and his lips
trembled ; but, restraining his anger, he
said, “ Kasper, since you won’t answer
me, at least listen to my explanations.
Man needs admirers, and I want you to
admire, aud be in some degree astound
ed by the sublime revelation that I am
about to make to you. It is not too
much, I think, to ask you to listen for
an hour to that which has cost me ten
whole years of faithful study.”
“Well, go on ; I am listening.”
His face was agitated anew by some
powerful emotion, and I began to bit
terly repent having climbed up the lad
der. 1 assumed a grave expression in
order not to anger him any further;
and this appeared to calm him some
what ; for, after a moment’s silence, he
exclaimed, “ You are hungry; well
there is my bread and there my pitcher
—eat —drink—but listen.”
“Nevermind, Wolfgang; I will lis
ten to you without that.”
Ho smiled bitterly, and went on :
“ We are not the only beings that
have souls. From the plant up to man,
all beings live—they are animated—
therefore they have a soul. Yes, all or
ganized existences have at least one
soul ; but, the more their organism is
perfected, the more complicated does it
become, and the number of souls is in
creased. That is what distinguishes
living beings, the one from the other.
The plant has only one soul—the veg
etable soul. Its function is simply to
obtain nutriment from the air through
the roots. The animal has two souls :
first, the vegetable soul, whose func
tions are the same as in the plant; and
the animal soul, strictly so-called,whose
organ is the heart. Lastly, man has
three souls—the vegetable soul, the an
imal soul, whose functions are carried
on the same as the brute ; and the hu
man soul, or the reason, whose organ
is the brain.”
Here Wolfgang paused for some mo
ments, and, looking at me, said, “ Well,
what do you think of this?”
“ Why it’s a theory, like any other :
the only difficulty is, that the proof is
wanting ”
A sort of frenzy seized Wolfgang at
this reply. He sprang from his seat,
exclaiming, “Yes —yes —the proof is
wanting; that is what has troubled my
soul for ten whole years! That has
been the cause of all my sufferings and
privations! Upon myself; yes, upon
myself, Kasper, I tried to experiment
first. More and more was this sublime
conviction forced upon me, without my
GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER
being able to prove it. But at last the
proof is found : I have it hear; soon
shall you hear the three souls manifest
and proclaim themselves; you shall hear
them!”
After this burst of enthusiasm, which
sent a cold chill through me, so much
of fanatic strength did it display, he
suddenly became calm ; and sitting
down, and leaning his elbows upon the
table, he went on, pointing at the same
time to the wall in which was the open
ing before described;
“The proof is there—behind that
wall; you shall soon see it for yourself.
But first, you must follow the onward
march of my ideas. I have maintained
the distinct existence of three souls.—
Reason told me that every man, before
reaching his final development, must
pass through the condition ofthe plant
or animal. 1 determined to solve this
problem. To do this, it was necessary
to extinguish in myself the three souls
successively, and then to revive them.
I had recourse to a rigorous fast; but,
unfortunately the human soul had to
yield flrst, in order to permit the free
action of the animal soul. Hunger
made me lose the faculty of observing
the animal state in myself—the ex
haustion prevented me from judging
anything concerning it After many
fruitless attempts upon my own organ
ism, I felt convinced that there was but
one means of reaching the desired end
—I must have someone else. But who
would be willing to submit to such
treatment?”
Wolfgang paused; his lips were con
tracted ; and, in a quick tone, lie added,
“ I felt 1 must have a subject at any T
price; 1 determined to experiment on
someone!”
I shuddered, for this man was, I saw,
capable of anything.
“Do you understand?” said he.
“ Perfectly. You wanted a victim—.”
“ To analyze,” added he, cooly.
“ And have you found one?”
“Yes; I promised that you should
hear tho three souls. It will be diffi
cult just now. But yesterday you could
have heard them, oft' and on, howling,
groaning, praying, and gnashing teeth.”
My face grew pale; but Wolfgang
kindly lit a small lamp which he used
for his study, and, approaching the hole
contrived in the wall, “ Look,” said he,
advancing the lamp into the darkness
beyond, that we might see the better,
“come and look—and then listen!”
In spite of my fatal presentiment; in
spite of the chill which ran through me,
drawn on by a mysterious attraction, 1
bent forward and poured into the space
behind the wall. Then, by the laint
light ofthe lamp, I saw a rude apart
ment, about fifteen feet high, and hav
ing no other outlet than that by the
garret where we were. At first 1 could
perceive nothing, and told Wolfgang
so.
“ Look closely,” said he, in a low
voice; “do you see what looks like a
bundle of clothes in one corner ? It
is old Catharine Wogel, the apple-wo
man.”
He had not time to finish, for a sharp
angry cry, like the howl of a cat in ag
ony, was heard, and an enraged being
sprang up, and seemed trying to climb
up the wall with its nails.
More dead than alive, with the cold
sweat starting from my forehead,! drew
back, crying, “Oh, it is horrible!”
“Did you hear it?’ said Wolfgang,
his face lightened up with an infernal
joy. “ Wasn’t it the cry of a cat? Ha !
ha! Yes! The old woman has been
both a cat and a panther. Yes! yes!
Hunger and thirst work wonders, I tell
you.”
Ho did not look at me; he was eru
joying his infernal triumph. The howl
ing of the poor old woman had ceased ;
and the maniac, laying his lamp down
upon the table, added, in explanation :
“This is the fourth day of her fast.
I enticed her here under pretext of sell
ing her some kirsch-water. I made her
go down into that room and then I shut
her in. The flrst two days the human
soul was strong in her. She prayed,
she implored me, she protested her in
nocence, saying that she had never in
jured me in any way; then she loaded
me with reproaches, denounced me as a
monster and a wretch, and called down
upon my head the curse of heaven.—
The third day, which was yesterday—
Wednesday-the human soul disappeared
altogether. Hunger was strong,and she
howled like a cat. Luckily we are in an
out-of-the-way place, for last night you
would have thought there was a regu
lar battle of tho cats—the cries would
have made you shudder. But, now,
Kasper, when the animal soul shall be
extinguished, do you know what shall
come then ? The vegetable soul Avill
have its time, and it is the last. It has
been noticed that the nails and hair of
the head grow while the body lies in
the grave. In the same way there is
formed in the opening of the skull a
kind of human lichen, which is thought
to be a species of moss, engendered by
the juices of the brain. At last, the
vegetable soul itself will die. So, you
see, Kasper, that the proof of the three
souls is complete.”
These words struck upon my ear as
the ravings of a maniac. The cry of
Catharine W ogel pierced to my very
marrow. I seemed to lose all knowl
edge of where I was, or what had hap
pened. But, all of a sudden, waking
from this moral stupor, I sprang up,
seized the maniac by the throat, and
dragged him toward the ladder.

VALUABLE WAR RELICS FOUND.
The Ownership Undecided.
Special Telegram to tlie Cincinnati Commercial.
Washington, May 28 —ln June, 1865,
there were received at the Treasury De
partment three wooden boxes, said to con
taiu valuables, turned over by the War
Department lor safe keeping. These boxes
have since laid in the vaults of the Treas
ury, but were to day opened by the efforts
of a United States Senator, some of whose
constituents were supposed to be inter
ested. A committee, composed of officers
of the War and Treasury Departments,
witnessed the carrying out of the joint or
der of the two departments.
The boxes were found to contain ex
ceedingly valuable invoices of diamonds,
of pearls, necklaces, watches, ear-rings,
brooches, rings, chains, seals, and all man
ner of rare and expensive jewelry, to the
value of many thousands of dollars. The
most valuable property, however, which
the boxes contained was a very large
amount of solid silverware, consisting of
pitchers, salvers, spoons, kuives, urns,
cups, aud all kinds of plates, some of
which was thought to be more than a hun
dred years old. One of the boxes con
tained some very rich wearing apparel
forladies, silks, velvets, laces, etc., besides
an incredible amount of Confederate notes
and bonds, and notes of State banks.
There was also a small amount of specie,
both gold aud silver. The boxes were
about the sizeof ordinary dry goods boxes,
aud the value of their contents is variously
estimated at from twenty thousand to one
hundred thousand dollars. Many of the
articles contained the family crests, ini
tials, or monograms of the owners, and
all were of the finest and most costly des
cription. The boxes were sent by the
Provost Marshal General of the Army of
the Tennessee to the War Department in
this city, and Secretary Stanton turned
them over to Treasurer Spinner, subject to
future action. The valuables are supposed
to have been taken possession of by Sher
man’s men in Georgia aud other'states,
where they had been abandoned by the
fleeing inhabitants.
In some cases they were taken from
banks which had ceased to do business
upon the approach of the Federal army.
The officers of bolh departments are un
certain of their duty in the matter of the
disposition of the property. Some hold
that it should be returned, under proper
restrictions aud proof, to the owners, if
they can be found. Others believe the
articles belong to the Government, under
the laws of Congress, and that they should
be sold aud tlie proceeds covered into the
Treasury. Still others affirm that neither
tl>e War nor the Treasury Departments
have any authority in the premises, and
that a special act of Congress should be
called for. Nothing has yet beeu done,
and the valuables are returned to the
vaults of the Treasury.
SURGICAL EXAMINATION OF THE SIAMESE
rv\ IAS
From the London Star.
Sir James Himpsou, the Professor of
Medicine aud Midwifery in the Universi
ty of Edinburgh, has examined very min
utely aud from every poiut of scientific
iuterest, these twins, and has delivered a
lecture to the students of the University
class on these aud other recorded cases of
united twins, of whom they are in many
respects the most remarkable on record.
In this lecture, which he publishes in the
British Medical Journal, he gives first
their history and description. Changaod
Eng, or as they now sign themselves,
Chang and Eng Bunker, are now 58 years
of age. They were two of several chil
dren, the rest being naturally formed.
When infants they were attached face to
face, but instinctive efforts from the earli
est age have so far elongated the hand as
to enable them to adopt an imperfect lat
eral relation to each other. They are
short, but wiry-loobing men, Eug, the
taller of the two, being only five feet two
and a-lialf inches—Chang an inch shorter.
They use the outer legs more than the
inner, by standing, aud these are the
ia r ger in circumference.
There is no inversion of position of the
heart and other organs, as Professor Allen
Thompson, of Glasgow, has shown to be
thegeueral law in relation to united twins.
Xeitherof the respirations nor circulations
of the two brothers are synchronous.
Examined in Edinburgh by Dr. Aitkeu,
when they were suffering from influenza,
the pulse of one was twenty-four beats to
the minute quicker than tbe other. Ex
amined this week in Loudon by Sir Henry
Thompson and Mr. Earnest Heart, th ire
was less difference—four pulsations in the
minute. In theirchemieal as well as their
organic functions, they are shown by Sir
James Simpson to be two separate and
distinct individuals. They can walk,
swim and run; they are keen sportsmen
and good shots; intelligent, well informed
aud good men of business. They are nat
urally much accustomed to join in tne
same con versa 1 ion, hut can each easily
carry on a conversation with two different
individuals.
They sometimes read separately, each to
himself, more often one aloud to the
other. Their minds, indeed, are more
dual than their bodies; the latter are
united together, but the former are not.
The baud of uuiou is formed partly by the
extension of tlie cartilages of the breast
bone ; it is four inches and a half longaud
eight inches and a Half in circumference.
When the twins have suffered from blood
diseases, as small pox, measles, ague, they
have been affected simultaneously. Nev
ertheless, from experiments which Sir
James Simpson has made with drugs, he
concludes that the vascular connection
bet ween tlie two brothers is comparatively
veiy small. On the question of the surgi
cal separation of the Siamese Twins,
“Chang and Eng,” says Sir James Simp
son, “have themselves no desire to be
surgically divided from each other.
But some of their relatives and families
have become anxious that, they should be
separated, if it were possible to do so. The
operation is certainly possible, and would
be attended with little, or indeed, no diffi
culty; but it would be so perilous iu its
character that the twins could not, iu my
opinion, he justified in submitting to it, or
any surgeon be justified in performing
it ” He then enters into details tojustify
this opinion. Chang and Eug are mar
ried to two sisters, the daughters of an
American clergyman. Each brother has
nine children. The family of Eug con
sists of six sons and three daughters; the
family of Chang consists of three sous and
six daughters.
Their first children were born within
three or four days of each other; the
others at irregular intervals. Chang’s
ninth child was horn three months ago.
Bir W. Ferguson has carefully examined
tlie twins, and, we understand, concurs in
tlie general opinion of surgeons that any
surgical separation wuuld be most likely
aitended with fatal consequences, not so
much on account of any obstacle present
ed by the structure of the uniting hand of
flesh as the moral effect of the disunion on
the two brothers.
A MOVING PILLAR OF WATER.
A Ruse Waterspout Moves Over tho Sound—A Brig
Uisinn ted and u Small Boat Brawn Into Ihe
Shy—Narrow Escape of a Boy.
The st<>rtn of Wednesday evening was
unusually severe along the coast of Long
Gland. At times the wiud blew perfect
hurricanes. These were followed by tor
rents of rain. Brigs aud schooners lost
spars and sails, and considerable damage
was done
Between 6 and 7 o’clock, as the steamer
Martin was coasting up the Sound, an im
mense waterspout was discovered. When
first seen it was several huudred yards
ahead of the vessel, moving rapidly up
the Long Island shore. Some fishermen,
who rtist observed the phenomenon, said
that immediately after a hard shower they
noticed an immense dense cloud forming
in the heavens. While they were won
dering at its rapid formation, aud mo
mentarily awaiting a further deluge of
ruin, a conical pillar or huge upright fun
nel descended from the cloud. The apex
of the spout was downward. At first it
apparently consisted of a dense vapor. A
similar cone arose from the bosom ofthe
Sound, and the two became united during
a vivid flash of lightning. When this
junction was formed the water seemed t«
run up the sides of the funnel like flames
of fire enwrapping the church steeple. A
high wind prevailed, and the column be
came oblique to the horizon. The pillar
at its base was the size of a hogshead, but
some huudred feet above the water it was
no longer than a lager beer keg.
The spinning column of water danced
over the waves like a huge giant in a
waltz Nearing Cold Spring, it shot across
the harbor from Oyster Bay about a quar
ter to 7. In its course it sucked up a row
boat, sending it spirally several hundred
feet in the air, carrying it over a boat
house, and dropping it on the beach. Just
outside the harbor it struck a brig, com
pletely dismasting it in the short space of
three seconds.
Its power of suction was enormous, and
it is estimated that over a half million gal
lons of water were drawn into the clouds
during its existence. Nearing the beach
iu the vicinity of Banvard’s Castle, it was
seen by a boy named King. The urchin
said that he heard a terrible roaring, aud
on turning about saw tweuty steamboat
pipes rolled into one, and a mile long,
twisting towards the shore. The boy ran
for his life, and the spout ran upon the
shore apparently in pursuit of him.
Striking the beach frouting the castle,
tlie vast pillar of water broke, and the
shore for an eighth of a mile was deluged
by its flood. The phenomenon was also
witnessed by Mr. John Banvard, who
speaks of it as a wonderful natural curi

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
A compound remedy, designed to be tne most
effectual Alterative that can be made. It is
a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla,
so combined with other substances of still
greater alterative power as to afford an effec
tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is
reputed to cure. It is believed that such a
remedy is wanted by those who suffer from
Strumous complaints, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must prove of immense
service to this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. llow completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following
complaints:
Sc HOF CL A ANI) SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS,
Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulceus,
Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af
fections, Mercurial Disease, Dropsy, Neu
ralgia or Tic Douloureux, Deiiility, Dys
pepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose
or Sr. Anthony’s Fire, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from Impurity
the Br.oort. __
This compound will he found a great pro
moter of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel ’the foul humors which fester in the
blood at that season of the year. By the time
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders
are nipped in the Imd. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing these ends.' But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to he concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During bite years the public nave been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extrauts of
Sarsaparilla which ilood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and lias become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.

it ever lias lieen, and that it may be relied on to
do for their relief all it has ever been found to do.
