The Heart can Trust no More.
BY SIDNEY DYER.
Hopes once gone are gone forever,
They turn not to the heart;
Though we seek them, yet they never
Will again their light impart.
Tims, if love’s first vows are broken.
Every dream of bliss is o’er:
Truth once sullied is the token
That the heart can trust no more.
Wealth and beauty, swiftly flying.
Outward griefs can all bo met;
While on plighted vows relying,
Fortune’s frowns bring no regret.
But if truth lias once departed,
Love’s fond dreams of bliss are o’er;
Then, alas! the broken hearted
Feels the heart can trust no more.

\ \ itively c uring I lie worst ami most obstinate cases

claims for it.
Foil directions accompany each box ; and all that is

The proprietor refers to the following testimonials
from gentlemen of character and standing, who have
voluntarily given ill- ir certificates in its favor, in regard
to its efficacy in their own cases. Read them.
The following is from one of tho most reliable ciii
z-’ws of Chicago, the late Treasurer of Cook county. III.
Chicago, July 25, iy55.
Dr. Cavanauzh—Dear Sir: J wish hereby to make
known to the afflicted that I have been troubled with
the Piles for twenty years or upwards, and at :im^s roost
severely. Ann during a recent and exceedingly painful
attack, a friend procured a box of vour £*alve and asked
ine to give it a trial. I did so. Not, however, with the
expectation of benefiting mv disease, for truly, I had
t ried so many applications 1 bad lost confidence in all
But in making Uae of your Naive, I soon found that it
was doing me good ; and really it is inertdile to myself,

am. so far as I can judge, a well man.

due both to yourself and such as may be afflicted with
this most frying and painful disease. I do not hestate to
say that I consider your preparation an invaluable rem
edy for the Piles. 3Iosl sincerely yours,

The Song of the Camp,
A CRIMEAN INCIDENT.
“Give us a song!" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the camps allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan in silent scoff,
Lay, grim and threatening under;
And the tawny mound of Malakoff
No lunger belched its thunder.
There was a pause. The guardsmen said:
“We storm the forts to-morrow;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow.’’
They lay along the battery’s side,
Below the smoking cannon—
Brave hearts, from Severn aud from Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not of fame;
Forgot was Britain’s glory:
Each iieait recalled a different name,
But all sang “Annie Laurie.”
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem rich and strong—
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
Yet as the song grew louder,
Something upon tho soldier's cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunset embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
Anil onee again a fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quaiters,
With scream of shot, aud burst of shell,
And bellowing of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim;
For a singer, dumb and gory;
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of “Annie Laurie.”
Ah, soldiers! to your honored rest
Your truth and valor bearing,
The bravest are the tenderest—
The loving arc the daring.
Bayard Taylor.
The Large Bock.
Not alone let printed hooks
All thy youthful mind engage:
Read the large open book,
Nature's mighty, wondrous page;
Fee tho heavens inscribed with light—
God’s handwriting day and night.
Hark, the opal morn appear;
Hark, the dew on leaf and flower
Hark, the storm-cloud’s wild career,
And the rainbow in the shower;
List, the wind, and list the sea:
God through these doth speak to thee,
Snow-clad mountain-realms of frost,
Nature’s largest print behold,
Cragg’d and stern aud earthquake tossed,
Clothed by forest stern aud old,
God’s vast creatures, there they stand,
Looking over sea and land.
See rich plains and w inding rills,
Fertile vales, and fields of corn,
Flocks upon a thousand hills,
Little b.rds that sing at morn,
And all these, will teach thee more
Than alone tho scholar’s lore;
God in each, and God in all,
In the large and in the small—
Thunder’s roar aud sparrow’s fall'
Sunset
See, the sun iu sinking lowly
Down into a golden pile
Of thick clouds, that, moving slowly,
Grace his funeral couch the while,
See, at parting, see how holy
Is that melancholy smile.
Still a struggle—now tis ended;
Calmly hath he sunk to rest.
Hues of heavenly lustre blended
Gleam through all the glowing west.
Now the darkness hath descended
Aud the lover’s hour is blest
Married Politeness.
There is much oftruth, as well as of that kind
of philosophy which comes into every day requisi
tion helping to strengthen the ties of social affec
tion, in the subjoined brief article:
“Willyon”’ asked a pleasant voice.
And the husband answered, “Yes, my dear, with
pleasure.”
It was quietly, but heartily said; the tone, the
manner, the look, wore perfectly natural, and very
affectionate. We thought how pleasant that
courteous reply, how gratifying it must be to the
wife. Many husbands of ten years’ experience
are ready enough with the courtesies to the young
ladies of their acquaintance, while they speak with
abruptness to the wife, and do many rude little
things without considering them worth an
apology. The stranger whom they may have seen
but yesterday is listened to with deference, and,
although the subject may not be of the most pleas
ant natuie, with anady smile; while the poor
wife, if she relates a domestic grievance, is snub
bed, or listened to with ill-concealed impatience.
O ! how wrong this is—ail wrong.
Docs she urge some request? “O, don’t broth
er me !', cries her gracious lord and master.—
Does she ask for necessary funds for Susy’s shoes
and Tommy’s hat ? “Seems to me you’re always
wanting money !’’ is the handsome retorit. Is
any littlo extra demanded by his masculine appe
tite, it is ordered, not requested, “Look here, I
want you to do so aud so; just see that it's done;”
and off marches Mr. Boor, with a bow and a smile
of gentlemanly polish and friendly sweetness for
every casual acquautance he may chance to recog
nise.
When wo meet with such carelessness and
coarseness, our thoughts revert to the kind voice
slid gentle manner of the friend who said, “Yes,
my dear, with pleasure.” “I beg your pardon,”
comes as readily to his lips, when by any little
awkwardness he has discoueeited her, as it would
iu the presence of the most fashionable stickler for
etiquette.
This is because he is a thorough gentleman, who
thinks his wife, iu all things, entitled to prece- j
dence. He loves her best; why should he hesi
tate to show i*., not in sickly maudlin attentions,
hut in prefering her pleasure, and honoring her in
private as well as in public. He knows her worth,
why should he hesitate to attest it. “And her
husband, he praised her,” saith Holy Writ: not
by fulsome adulation, not by pushing her charms
into notice, but by speaking, as opportunity oc
curs, in a manly way of her virtures. Though
words may seem little things, and slight attentions
almost valueless, yet, depend upon it, they keep
the flame bright, especially if they are natural.
The children grow up in a better moral atmos
phere, and learn to respect their parents, as they
see them respecting one another. Many a boy
takes advantage of a mother lie loves, because he
sees often the rudeness of his father. Insensibly he
gathers to his bosom the same habits and the
thoughts they engender, and in his turn becomes
the petty tyrant. Only his mother; why should
he tnanit her, father never does." Thus the home
becomes the seat of disorder and unhappiness.
Only for strangers are kind words expressed, and
hypocrites go out from the beartli-stone fully
prepared to tender justioe, benevolence, to any
one and every one but those who have tho justest
claims. Ah! give us the kind glance, the happy
homestead, the smiling wife and courteous children
of the friend who said so pleasantly, “Yes, my
dear, with pleasure.”
The Recside Claim.—Everybody remembers the
Reeside Claim, for the payment of which Congress
appropriated 188,496 with interest from December,
1841. amounting to §326,501,70. Mrs. Reeside,
the Executrix of the estate, who recovered the
claim, has filed her account of the administration
of her husband's estate, and by her sworn account
it appears that she paid §106,894,59 for lobby ser
vices and other expenses, in getting the claim sl
owed. •

lids on the Comet.
We ought to have published, long ago, the pro
positions of the I'rbana (111.) Constitution, concern
ing the comet. Zimmerman, after observing the
“critter” carefully with the instruments of the
Urbana Brass Band, comes to the following con
clusion.
1st. That the comet will not strike the earth; but
2d. If it does strike, it will never do it the sec
ond time.
In case, however if any gentlemen holds his opin
ions different from the above, and if willing to
back his views to a limited extent, in order to ar
rive at the truth in this momentous matter, we
hereby make the following propositions:
1. We will wager §20,000, more or less, that if
the comet offers to strike, we will dodge before it
does it; iu other words, that sum that it can't be
brought to the scratch.
2. A like sum that if it does strike it will be
knocked higher nor a kite.
3. Twenty-live times the above amount, that in
case the comet strikes, it won’t budge the earth
six inches, by actual measurement.
4. A like amount that after the comet strikes, its
tail drops.
5. An optional sum that the earth can knock the
comet further than the comet can knock the earth
nine times out of eleven.
6. That after the comet gets through striking
the earth it will never want to strike anybody
else.
These propositions ara intended to cover the
case of any gentlemen on the globe, comet, or else-
w here.
Al! wages to be decided by Judges of the Su
preme Court.
Money to be deposited in the banks of Newfound
land.
Time of striking, and other arrangements, to be
fixed by the parties, ,
Applicants for bets have a right to select any
comet they choose.
Charles Fenno Hoffman, the Insane Poet.—The
Editor of the Fetersburg Journal in a recent let
ter from Harrisburg, Fa., where he visited the
Asylum for the insane, thus speaks of one who
was the prince of American song writers—Charles
Fenno Hoffman:
His disease is of peculiar form, aud Dr. Corwen
tells me, presents the only striking instance iie
ever met with of hallucination offer, senses—touch,
taste, sight, smell and hearing. The most distress
ing indications of his disease are exhibited in his
fancies that somebody is touching, or pressing, or
pinebinghim, ortliat lie secs persons and objects,
which trouble and disturb him.
A trace of the aberation is apparent in his re
minding me that out last meeting was many more
than sixteen years ago, and with a sudden turn,
forgetting the lapse of time, to make a polite in
quiry after a young lady’s health, as if he had part
ed with her but yesterday. The casual visitor will
fail to detect traces of insanity in Mr. Hoffman,
but will ordinarily be pleasantly impressed by his
elaborate politeness aud courtly demeanor. His
intervals of perfect tranquility are rare; but lie
is rarely much excited, and is never violent. 1
bear with much regret, that there is no
hope of any permanent improvement in the
ease of Mr. Hoffman, and that our best
expectations for him can reach no higher
than that he may long survive bathed in pleasant
delusions of the memory, to do the honors of the
house, and sadly to remind the visitor, that be
tween the towering intellect and insanity, there is
buta thin partition, which a breath may abrade, or
a blow destroy and break down forever'
The Closing Scene.—After being disinterred from
their many burial-grounds, throughout the length
and breadth of the laud, the mortal remains of
Kuow-Xothingism were all gathered together and
deposited finally and forever in their last resting
place at Louisvillle, Kentucky, ou this day, one
week ago, with al! the solemnity and silence due
to the occasion. There was little said; tho cere
mony was short; and amid the sobs and sighs of a
few faithful friends the unsavory Sam was con
signed to the tomb. The last sad scene of his ad
venturous and eventful life is over. It is truly to
be hoped, for the sake of his future peace, as well
as the quiet of those other departed spirits with
whom he must commune, that Sam will seek an I
abode in the eternal world, where the poor old Pope
is never expected, and the “Sweet German accent
and rich Irish brogue,” are never mingled in the
hymns of the saints:
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
Nor in sliest, nor in shroud they bound him;
But he lay, like a Know-Nothing taking his rest.
With nothing at ali around him.
They buried him darkly at dead of night,
The sod with their boot-heels turning,
By the trembling moonbeams misty light,
And the lantern dimly burning.

Texas Crops.—Never (says the Galveston News,
of the 6th inst.,) have we known during a resi
dence of more than twenty years in Texas, so
sudden and so total a change in the agricultural
prospects of our State, as has taken place this
spring, We have never before had so many and
severe frosts at so late a period as we have had
this spring, compelling our farmers and planters to
re plant three and even four times over, until a
universal gloom seemed to overspread the whole
State with tne most alarming apprehensions that a
famine would be the inevitable result. And yet,
at this moment, all the accounts that reach us from
eastern, northern and middle Texas, go to show
that the prospects for splendid crops of corn, cot-
lun aud sugar cane, were never better, if as good
as now. In all parts of Texas, except some of the
western counties, there have been tine rains, and
even in West, we are told the crops are not
suffering, but will ho good if they have rains a
week or two hence.
Adulterated Liquors.
The recent death of a young matt in Brampton,
Canada, from tasting the “essence of brandy,”
with which he was manufacturing cognac, aud
tho revelation of the fact that strychnine is largely
used in the manufacture of whisky, has awaked
some attention to the nature of the drinks which
are sold for pure spirits. .Brandy, gin, wine, and
whisky, are so adulterated that comparatively lit
tle pure liquor can be purchased; Most of the
brandies arc a mixture of diabolical ingredients,
caustic enough to burn oak cltips, to say nothing
of the delicate tissues of the human body. The
Springfield Republican says:
No secret i.s made of this business. The drug
dealers of New York advertise openly the com
pounds by means of which the vile imitations of
spirituous liquors are made. A circular from one
of these drug houses informs the world that bran
dy number one—the best sort, we take it—is made
of ‘oil of brandy,’ a poisonous ether, oil of bitter
almonds, (as poisonous as prussic acid,) ethereal
wine, alcohol, sugar, and Malaga wine. No. 2.
Oil of brandy, acetic, ether, tamarinds, cherry
juice, sugar, all colored with burnt sugar No. 3.
Oil of brandy, ethereal oil, bitter almonds, elder
flowers, and tannin. No. 4. Oil of brandy, acetic
ether, oil of peach and alcohol. Gin—Oil angelica,
oil of juniper, rum, essence of lemon, salt, sirups,
ind water: if smokiness is required add a few drops
of creosote, and to make it biting upon the palate
add some caustic potash. The circular advises
anufacturers to use ‘with discretion, tamarinds.
French plums, cherry juice, brown sherry, oak
shavings, tincture of catechu, powdered char-
oal, black tea, ground rice, and other ordinary
materials well known to distillers and rectifiers.
We should advise drinkers to use these villaiuous
mixtures with discretion—and throw them into the
gutter.”
The adulteration of liquor is carried on as largely
abroad as in this country, and the custom house
brand is no guaranty of purity. Thousands of
pipes of raw spirits are annually exported from this
country, to be returned in the shape of wine, bran- j
dy, \ c., which contains not a grain of grape j
j^ee.
A lady advertising for a husband in the Water j
Cure Journal, gives the following description of:
herself: !
“I am just twenty, but will not marry before 11
am two years older. I am a graduate of the Ma- j
rietta Seminary. I can do, and lovo to do, all man-1
:tcr of house work, from making pies and i
bread to washing shirts; I can do all kinds of sew-!
ing, from embroidery to linsey pantaloons; I can '
skate, ride, dance, sing, play ou the piano or
spinning wheel, or anything that may reasonably
be expected of my sex. If required, I can act the
part of a dunce in society of the “upper ten,” or
the part of a woman among women. As for riding,
here let me make a banter; any man may bring
two hortffs, give me choice and ten feet, and then
if he overtakes nto in one mile I am his; if not then
the horse i.s mine. Beware! By fops I atn styled
handsome; by those I frown upon, “the devil’s
imp," by the wise and sober I am called wild and
foolish; by my female acquaintances “Moily,” and
by my uncle I atn called “Tom.”
New Flour.—On Wednesday wo saw the Ken
tucky Harvester iu operation at Mr. DeLaigi.f.’s
wheat field. After threshing out the grain, it was
taken to the mill of Messrs Carmichael & Co ,
and on Saturday shipped to New York, and with
no detention well be in market on Tuesday. This
is quick work.
The Charleston Courier, of this morning, says:
Ten barrels of new flour from the Carmichael
Mills, of Augusta, Ga., was received on Saturday
morning last, by the Rail Road, consigned to
Messrs. E. Laffitte & Co., of this city, was ex
amined by the Inspector and branded extra, after
which the same was shipped to New York by
the steam ship Marion which sailed on that morn
ing.
Bom to Good Luck.—The St. Lonis Leader tell*
the following story:
Not over a dozen years ago a merchant of this
. city, well known and highly respected, failed in
business, and after settling up his affairs, gave to
his principal creditor a deed of trust on certain real
estate, to secure the payment of §12,000. At the
time the property was barely valued at that, so the
creditor put the deed in his safe, and there so far
as he was concerned, the matter ended.
The merchant broken down, disappointed, poor
but yet enterprising, wont South, visited Califor
nia, Mexico and South America, speculated, made
half a dozen fortunes, and lost them again. A
few weeks since he returned to the city, sick,
travel worn, needy and disheartened. By chance
he met his old lawyer, a gentlemen high in his
profession, and who is deservedly respected. Af
ter the first greeting, the lawyer remarked, “I am
glad to see yon back, and as you seem to be in
want of funds, the sale will be just in time.”
Tl:e merchant looked hard at his friend, and
finally said,“Sale! what sale? i’ve got nothing
to sell.’
“Nonsense, my dear fellow, you are richer
than you imagine. Don't yott remember the
deed of trust I drew up for you some twelve years
ago?”
“I do. what of it?”
“Well, at the time the property would not have
realized that sum, so it was let lie, but it is now in
the market, and I expect to close a contract for its
sale this week.”
“You amaze me! what price do you expect to
get?”
“I've asked §-'6,000 ! and shall get it too. Your
old debt and interest will amount to §21,906
or thereabouts so you will have §63,000 to go
upou.”
The sensation of the party may be more easily
imagined than described, as the penny-a-liners
have it. but one thing is certain, Mr. A. went home
a happier man than he had been for ten years at
least.
Reader, what we have here related is a sim
ple fact, and more, the occurrence is not a week
old.
Telegraphing Through Hater.—I have seen sev
eral articles in the Intelligencer, and other papers,
from Europeans and Americans, claiming an orig
inality in their success in this experiment. As
every thing connected with the subject has peculiar
interest at this time, I send you an extract from
a letter written by Dr. Franklin to Peter Collinson,
of London. The Doctor says:
“Chagrined a little that we have hitherto beeti
able to produce nothing in this way of use to man
kind, and the hot weather coming on, when elec
trical experiments are not so agreeable, it is propo
sed to put an end to them fur the season, somewhat
humorously, in a party of pleasure on the banks
of the Schuylkill. Spirits at the same time are be
fired by a spark sent from side t - side through the
river, without any other conductor than the water; an
experiment which we some time since performed to the
amazement of the navy. A turkey is to be killed
for our dinner by the electric shock, and roasted
jack, before a tire kindled by the electrified bottle;
when the health of all the famous electricians of
England Holland, France and Germany are to be
drank in electrified bumpers, under a discharge of
guns from the electrical battery.”—National Intel
ligencer.
When Does Wool Grow.—I answer, when it is
wanted to cover the sheep and keep it warm.
From the time the sheep is sheared until the frost
comes you can see the shape of every clip of the
shears: when the frost and the cold weather come,
it grows out immediately. Now, if you wish for a
heavy clip, feed when the wool is growing. If
you have any extra feed, then is the time to use it.
The wool draws very hard upon the carcase, and
growing out fast deceives almost every larmen
They think their sheep are doing well when they
are growing poor. I can make an additional pound
• of wool with one bushel of corn, and my sheep will
afterwards winter one bushel of corn easier. Let
your sheep get poor while the wool is growing,and
you cannot recruit them until the next summer.
J. D. Chamberlain, in Getlessee Farmer.
The Tobacco Crop.—A gentleman who is ex
perienced in the culture of that plant, says an ex
change, and who lias just traveled through the
counties of L'nion, Henderson, Hopkins, Davis,
Hancock, and Breckenridge, Ky., for the purpose
of learning the prospects of the crops, contradicts
the flattering representations of the growth of tho
tobacco plant. He tells the editor of the Evans
ville Journal that the plants are coming up in
abnn iance, but that they are but just making
th j ir appearance; that the plant canuot attain the
size in the bed for transplanting in less than sixty
days, and that tobacco transplanted after July
cannot produce anything better than good lugs.
Without an extraordinarily favorable season, he
thinks the crop of tobacco must prove inferior and
short in all the counties he has visited.
Served them Right.—A number of the young men
of the neighborhood, possessing more of the spirit
of mischief then of good breeding or sense, went
at night to the house of cx-Govcruor Bebb, near
Rockford, Illinois, whose son had just brought
home a newly made bride, inorderto give them a
calathnmpian serenade. While engagud in their
disgusting orgis, the father of the bridegroom came
from the house with a gun and fired npon them.
This caused them to disperse; but rallying again,
they soon returned and recommenced their revel
with greater vigor ihen before. Gov. Bebb fired upon
them again, and this time with more serious effect.
The account iu Rockford when our informant left,
was that two of the young nten had been killed.
Chicago Times.
A Nice Country to Live In.—An extract of a let
ter from an officer of the IJ. S, Army, dated Fort
Cass, Florida. The writer says:
“We are nearly eat up by mosquitoes. I do all
my writing in bed under the bars, which will ac
count for this letter being in pencil. For the last
ten days I have not been abie to write at my desk,
and I have slept but two nights during the same
period. The men are better off titan I atn, and
they are not far from being used up. Besides tho
mosquitoes we are troubled with scurvey and dy
sentery, and in fact neariy all the ills that flesh is
heir to. It would take the*lndians at least twenty
years to kill as many men as the climate of Florida
does in six months.”
Grape Cuttings.—The Ohio Farmer asks Have
you a choice GrapeCutting that you want to grow?
aud replies as follows:
Then go to the woods, dig some roots of a wild
grape vine, cut them into pieces of about six inches
long, cut your choice grape vine or cutting into
pieces of only one, or, at most, buds: insert the
lower end by the common cleft grafting method,
into the pieces of vine root; plant it in the earth,
leaving the cutting just level with the top of the
ground. Every one so made, will grow, and in
two years, become bearing plants
The Parisian cabinet-makers are said to prefer
the thuja wood to every other, on account of its
combining sp many elegant qualities. None other
is so full of spots, satiny lustre, and variegated
veins; it takes a perfect and exquisite polish, and
the hues pass from deep fiery red to those of the
pinkest mahoganj—and these tints are permanent
not fading like rosewood, or becoming black like
mahogany. This thuja is common throughout Al
geria. most so when proceeding from east to west.
Though but recently restored tt> notice, it was
highly prized by the ancients.
Hashing Silver Wire.—House-keepers must have
noticed how their silver ware loses its burnished
brightness so soon after using it, but they may
not generally be aware of the reason. It is the
washing of it in soap and water that gives it that
pewter like appearance. Never put a particle of
soap about your silver, it will then retain its orig
inal lustre.' When it wants polish, take a piece of
soft leather and whiting and give it a tolerably
hard rubbing.
Cruelty Near Home—An old man named Mark
ham was found by the roadside in Palmer last Mon
day week suffering intensely from the ravages of
small pox. The burning sun beat on his bloated and
swollen features, he was unable to speak, and
almost insensible to his hard condition. It was
not till he had been taken over the hills to tho
