We would call your attention to our prepara tion known as "Jacob’s Cholera, Dysentery and Diarrhoea Cordial.” This medieine, although but yet In its infancy, has gained a notoriety and reputation' never before attained by any patent medieine. This Is no qnack nostrum got op to gull tbe people and fieoee them oat of | their money, bat a preparation that will core the severest forms of Dysentery and Diarrhoea —no matter how severtf they may be, provided the directions are elosely followed. It has re ceived the" - ‘ A Storm at Sea. I will endeavor to ploturo to your Imagina tion a storm that the fetes onoe condemned me [ to behold. • Onoo upon a timo in tho city of j New York there was a joyous erowd of ns who oonoeived a fancy that we should enjoy a trip to Savannah. On tho ensuing day early after our determination was fermod we took passage on board tho Stoam Ship Drsak. The first day of our voyage was perfectly delightful, and, as none of us wero sea-sick, many a merry peal of laughter, In any one of which many a city belle would have gladly participatod, rang through our gallcnt ship. We travelled rapidly, and all propheoied a pleasant voyage; but towards eve ning the sea began to grow calm, and by 9 o’ clock at night, wo were floating slowly on the broad bosom of the unruffled deop—none too slow, for our oqjoyment, for above us the vault of heaven was bespangled with ccnntless my riads of a^.rs, and ffibifiy thtoisfe below us wero tho tranquil waters " all pearly with light from tho timid young moon.” Oh ! who would dream that beneath that calm still surface there slept a thousand brave and noble souls, whose beauteous forms reposed in their watery couches! It was late -whon we retired from the contemplation of so much exquisite beauty, and grand sublimity. Whpn we were aroused in tbe morning, our first sensation was that of suffocation. We hastened to the win dows, but it was without experiencing tho slightest relief. The sun was just rising from its watery bed, with a dull red glare that .seem; ed to betoken a sultry day, and I positively af firm that a promiso was never more faithfully fulfilled. Throughout the long, long day the heat poured down like streams of molten brass. As evening came on I saw elonds looming up from the western hornon. I could discern in the countenances of the weather beaten mariners an apprehension of approaching danger. They seemed to look anxiously and watehfully west ward. Tho dark and ominous clouds came boiling np with headlong fury, cloud on oloud, hey reared aloft their ebon heads. Soon the heavy thunders came booming over the waters, with intonations that seemed to shake the ocean to its centre. The lurid lightnings leaped in sigsag chains from tho dusky folds of the clou ds, with such awful Intensify that our very eye- Pcrsonalittos of Literati. JEKROLD. Douglas Jerrold “a well known contributor to Punch, and editor of various'publications, is a man about fifty years of age, and in person ‘ His f ia remarkably spare and diminutive. i face is sharp, angular, and his eye of a grayish hue. He is probably one of the most caustic writers of the age, and with keon sensibility, he often writes, under the impulse of the momont, arti cles which his cooler judgement condemns.— Although a believer in hydropathy, his habits do not conform to tbe internal application of | Adam's ale. His canda! Lecturos have been read by every one. In conversation be is quick at retort—not always refined. He is a hus band and grandfather. ua.ca.hi.at. The Hon. B. ad. is short in statnre, ig tendency to alder-• if tmtdHim-the same J rotundity as his body, and seems stuck on it as firmly as a pin-head. This is nearly the sum of his personal defects; all else, except the' voice (which is monotonous and disagreeable,) is certainly in his favor. His fees seems liter ally instinctive with expressions; his eye alive, fell of deep thought and meaning. As be walks; or rather struggles along the street, he seems as if in a state of total abstraction, unmindful of all that is going on around him, and solely occupied With his own mind. You cannot help thinking that literature with him is a mere pro fession or pursuit, but that it has grown to be a part of himself, as though historical problems or analytical criticisms were a part of bis' dai ly and regularly intellectual food. BAILEY. [From the Daily looming News.] TO THE ABSENT. A flower may spring up, bud and bloom, And seem so fresh and feir, Yet never shed a sweet perfume, Upon tbe summer air. A face that wears the blandest smile, A breaking heart may hide; And witching words the boors beguile, Though happiness has died. A bird that sings the sweetest songs. May not be always gay ; E’en though his warbling tongue prolongs The trilling melody. And thus it is with me, my love, When thou art far away; However bright the sun above— Its light fe lost with feeo ^ And; sweetly though the Though loved ones roix„ A sadness to my hearj^wUl ci If thou dost linger long. When comes the hour for evening prayer; I miss tby trembling tone: There’s none my joys or griefs to share— Return— oh hasten home ! And, if the lapse of years sbonld prove Thee hi ic to grief and pain’; God grant thou may’st not cease to love, And feou’lt be loved again.

W. Bates, while doing the exploir of sticking a bar of lead down bis throat, lot go his hold, and it descended in to bis stomach. ’The physicians of this place, not knowing hut Bates was trying to hoax them, made a slight examination at the time, inas much as he had made but little ado about it, and at times donied haviug swallowed the lead at all A few days after, the victim haring swal lowed some acid substance, the lead began to corrode, and he became very sick. The physi cians were then called in, and it was soon found that every attempt to extract the lead would be _ unavailing, save opening the stom ach. This being resolved upon, some five or six physicians were called in on Wenesday mor- ninglast, when Dr. J. Bell, of this place, per formed tho operation, probably the first on re cord, of opinion the stomach and extracting the io bar was about 4«hos in length, and about one-half'the ! €i>gfe*rfcowed the action of the acid upon it- The patient, at last accounts, was getting along finely, with a prospect ofj speedy recovery, tbe inflammation caused from the lead, while in the stomach, be ing the greatest difficulty to contend with, at present appearance.

And if one adds to this figure clothes that are neither fashiona bly cat nor fastidiously adjusted, he will have a tolerably rough idea of Do Quincoy’s. But then his brow, that pushes his obtrusive hat to the back pairt of his head, and his' light grey eyes that do not seem to look out, turned inward, sounding the depths of bis ibation, and searohingont the mysteries of the most abstruse logic, are something that you would-seareh a week to find the mates to, 'and then you would be disappointed.

A surgeon of a regiment Rationed oh the cliffs above Balaklava, who has about 20 sick ont of 40 men, has been applying to the “ au thorities” in the town for the lost three weeks for mediemos, all simple and essential; and can not get one of them.

To-day this poor light grey I surgeon, too, came down with his last appeal: j but to he “Do, I beg of you, give me any medicine you this imag- | have for diarrhoea.” "We haven’t any.” "Have yon any medieine for fever you could give ?

Vermont.—The election of Councillors in Vermont takes place on the last Wednesday in large fre me, over which a loose black coat is carelessly buttoned. Complexion light, eyes blue, hair once black, now pepper and salt; whiskers volumnions, eyebrows black and thick, good .forehead, and lower'face ample. This conveys no better idea of the man’s appearanoe than a French passed. But tbe truth is, Sue’s countenance and figure have none of those pe culiarities which make description impossible. He looks in bis portrait like a comfortable, careless, elderly gentleman, taking his ease in an easy chair and an easy coat. Ho does not look like an anthocr-outhors seldom do. His air is rather that of a projherous citizen. Sue is only forty-five years old bat he has .lived fast, and looks fifty-five'. Lamartine is sixty-three, and wonld pass easily for fifty-three. Dnmas is fifty, and could get credit for thirty-eight.
