Mr. H. G. Farrell—Dear Sir: Actuated by a
sense of giatefhlaeas, I submit the Following as
an Instance of the utility of J«w great medi
cine. My child, three years old, was suddenly
attacked with a terrible disease, which in lew
than six hems prostrated it to total helpless
ness. The limbs became so rigid that not a
jointcoald be bent; the flesh tamed black and
cold and entirely deprived of feeling; the eyes
fixed, partially dosed and altogether blind, fol
lowing this was dealbess to all sounds; the
spine Became contracted and so carved that

'attack, the family physician was called in,
and for three weeks be labored to restore it to

was then held, bat to no purpose, tbe ease wm

entire length of the spine, and yoa may ima

I hereby certify that I was afflicted with Rheu
mutism for two years, and frequently would a*
wake In the night and shed tears, the pain was
so severe, without relief from any medicine till
I used James’ Neuralgic Liquid and in two ap

Certificate.—JUDGE MASSINGALE.
I hare used James’ Neuralgic Liquid with en
tire success in two cases of Rheumatism in my
family, one chronic, tbe other inflammatory. I
have used it for Neuralgia in my own case with
much benefit I believe it is the most reliable
and perfect “panacea” for pains I have ever
had in my family.

a few boars I was relieved.

ONE BY ONE.
One by ons the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each,
Let no ftiture dreams elate thee,
Learn thou first what these qan teach.
One by one (birth gifts from Heaven)
Joys are sont thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready too to let them go.
One by one thy griefr shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade as others greet (bee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life’s sorrow;
See how small each moment’s pain;
God will help thee for to morrow,
Every day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has its task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
If thon set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting,
Or for passing hoars despond;
Nor, the daily toil forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Honrs are golden links, God’s token.
Reaching Heaven : bnt one by one
Take tbem, lest the chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage be done.

Wonders of tbe Atmosphere
The atmosphere forms a spherical shell sur-
ronnding the earth to a depth which is un
known to us by reason of its crowing tenuity,
as it is released from tbe pressure of its own
superincumbent mass. Its npper surface can
not be nearer to ns than fifty, and can scarcely
be more remote than five hundred miles. It
surrounds ns on all sides, yet we see it not: it
presses on us with a load of fifteen pounds on
every square inch or surface of our bodies, or
from seventy to one hnndrnd tons on us all, yet
we do not so much as feel its weight. Softer
than the finest down—more impalpnble than
the finest gossamer—it leaves the cobweb un
disturbed, and scarcely stirs the slightest flow
er that feeds on the dew it supplies; yet it
bears tbe fleets of nations on its wings around
the world, and crashes the most refractory sub
stances with its weighL When in motion, its
force is sufficient to level the most stately for
ests and stable bnildings with the earth—to
raise the waters ot tbe ocean into ridges like
mountains, and dash the stongest ships to pie
ces like toys. It warms and cools by turns
tbe earth and tbe living creatures that inhabit
it. It draws np vapors from the sea and land,
retains them dissolved in itself or suspended in
cisterns of clouds, and throws them down again
as rain or dew when they’are required. It
bends the rays of tbe sun from their path to
give us the twilight of evening and of dawn—
it disperses and refracts their vnriour tints to
beautify tbe approach and the retreat of the orb
of day. Bat for the atmosphere, sunshine
would burst onus and' fail ns at once—and at
once remove ns from midnight darkness to tbe
blaze of noon. We should have no twilight to
soften and beautify (be landscape—no clouds
to shade us from the scorching heat—bnt the
bald earth, as it revolved on its axis, would turn
its tanned and weathered front to the full and
unmitigated rays of tbe lord of day. It affords
the gas which vivifies and warms onr frames,
and receives into itself that which had been
polluted by use, and is thrown off as noxious.—
It feeds the flame of life exactly as it does that
of tbe fire—it is in both cases consumed, and
affords tbe food of consumption ; in both cases
it becomes combined with charcoal, which re
quires it for combustion, and is removed by it
when this is over.
“It is only the girdling, encircling air,”
says a writer in tbe North British Review,
“that flows above and aronnd ns, that makes
the. whole world kin. The carbonic acid with
which to-day onr breathing fills the air. to-mor
row seeks its way round the world. The date-
trees that grow ronnd the falls of the Nile will
drink it in by their leaves : tbe cedars of Le
banon will take of it to add to their stornre;
the cocoa-nuts of Taniti will grow rapidly upon
it; and the palms and bananas of Japan will
change it into flowers. Tbe oxygen we are
breathing was distilled for us some short time
ago by the magnolias of Susquehanna. and the
great trees that skirt the Orinoco and the Ama
zon—the giant rhododendrons of tbe Himalay
as contributed to it, and tbe roses and myrtles
of Cashmere, the cinamon-tree of Ceylon, and
the forests older than the flood, bnried deep in
the heart of Africa far behind the monntnins of
the Moon. The rain we see descending was
thawed forns not of tbe icebergs which have
watched the Polar star for ages ; and the lotus
lilies have soaked np from the Nile, and ez-
hailted as vapor, snows that rested on tbe sum
mits of the Alps.”
“The atmosphere,” says Mann, “which forms
tbe outer surface of tbe habitable world, is a
vast reservoir, into which tbe supply of food
designed for living creatures is thrown—or, in
one word, it is itself the food in its simple form
of all living creatnres. The animal grinds
down the fibre and tbe tissne of the plant, or
the nutritious store that has been laid np with
in its cells, and converts these into tbe substance
of which its own organs are composed. The
plant acquires the organs and nutritions store
thus yielded upas food to the animal, from tho
invulnerable air snrronnding it But animals
are furnished with tbe means of locomotion and
of seisnre—they can approach their food, and
lay hold of and swallow it; plants mast await
till their food comes to them. No solid parti ■
cles find access to their frames; the restless
ambient air. which rashes past them loaded
with the carbon, the hydrogen, the oxygen, tho
w *ter—-everything they need in shnpe of snp.
plies—is constantly at hand to minister to their
wants, not only to afford them food in due sea-
eon, but in the shape and fashion in which
alone it can avail them.”
A great many instances oectirin the progress
of things, to show that a great deal of what We
think peculiar to onr own times, was known to
the ancients. It is only a few years ago that
tho Austrians, improving the bed of the Dnn-
nbe, struck upon the track of an old towing,
path, and in a cavern discovered a Roman ac
count-book, belonging to an overseer of the
work, which book was written In the modern
cursive or running-hand, showing that tho Ro
mans wrote as we do, exactly. The leaves of
this book were of wood, and contained the names
of tbe workmen and their wages. It was as
serted that the ancients did not knotr the nse
of gloss windows, till such things were lately
discovered in tho rains of Pompeii. It may
atsohe mentioned, that the Romans, in the
time of Caracnlla, knew the secret of distilling
fresh water from salt water.
Pierre Patrice, of Caen, born in 1582. and A
follower of Gaston d’Orleans, was the auther of
the following antidote to vanity:
I dreamt, that buried in my fellow day.
Close by a common beggar 1 ? side t lay;
And as so mean an object shocked my pride,

In Debt and out of Debt.
Of what a hideous progeny of til is debt the
father! What meannesses, what invasion on
•olf-respeet, what double dealing ! How in
due season, it will carve the frank open face
into wrinkles: how iiko n knife, 'twill etab the
honest heart. How it has been known to change
a goodly face into a mask of brass; how, with
the “damned custom” of debt, has tho true roan
become a callous trickster! A freedom from
debt, and what nourishing sweetness may be
found in cold water; what toothsomeness in a
dry crast; what ambrosial nonrishment in a
hard egg! Be sure of iL he who dines out of
debt, though hi* meal be biscuit and oniun,
in “The Appollo.” And then for a raiment;
what warmth in a threadbare coat, if the tailor’s
receipt be in yonr pocket; what Tyrian purple
in the faded waistcoat, the vest not owed for;
bow glossy the well-worn bat ifit cover notthe
aching hend of a debtor! Next the home-
sweots, the out door recreation of a free man.—
The street door fails not a knell on bis heart;
the foot on the stair case, though he lives on
tbe third pair, sends no spasms through his an
atomy ; at the rap of his door ho can crow forth
“come in,” and his pulse ’still beat hoalthfuliy,
his heart sink not in his bowels. See him
abroad. How confidently, yet how pleasantly
he takes the street; how ho returns look for
look with any passenger; how he saunters;
bow. mooting an acquaintance, he stands and
gossips! But then, this man knows not debt;
debt, thnt casts a drag into the richest wine;
that makes the food of tho gods unwholesome,
indigestible; that sprinkles the banquets of
Lucullns with ashes, and drops soot in the soap
of an emperor; debt, that like the moth, makes
yalnelcss furs and velvets, enclosing the wearer
in a festering prison, (the spirit of Nessus was
a shirt not paid for) debt that writes upon fres
coed walls the hand writing of the attorney;
that pntan voice of terror in the knocker; that
makes the heart qnnke at the hnnted fireside:
debt, the invisible demon that walks abroad
with a man, now quickening his steps, now
making him look on nil sides like a hunted
bensL nnd now bringing to his face the ashy
hue of death, as the nnoonscions passenger looks
glancingly upon him ! Poverty is a bittered
draught, yet may, and sometimes with advan
tage, be gulped down. Tbongh tho drinker
makes wry faces, there may after all be a whole
some goodness in the cnp. But debt, however
covertly it be offered, is the cnp of a Syren,
and the wine, spicy nnd delicious though it be,
is poison. The man ont of debt, though with
a flaw in his jerkin, a crack in his shoeleather,
and a hole in his hat, is still the son of liberty,
free as the singing lark above him; but the
debtor, though clothed in the utmost bravery,
what is he but a serf out upon a holiday—n
slave to he reclaimed at any instant by his ow
ner, the creditor? My son, if poor, see wine in
the rnnningof spring; let thy month water at
last week’s roll; think a threadbare coat tbe
“only wear.” and acknowledge a white-washed
garret the fittest bousing place fora gentleman ;
do this nnd flee debt- So shall thy heart he at
peace; and the sheriff he confounded.—Doug-

A new play of Shakespeare’s, dictated by

purports to be a specimen of it:—

In his book called “Physical Geography of
tbe Son.” Lieutenant Mnnry explains the char
acter of the Gulf Stream, nnd its effects upon
the coasts of Europe, to which it hears its wa
ters. ne nrgnos that it takes its rise in the
Gulf of Mexico and the Carribean Sea, both
heated by the tropic sun ; and running north
east with prevailing westerly winds, carries to
the British Isles that peculiarly warm moisture
which makes tbem so much warmer in the win
ter season than the same latitudes on the eas
tern sca-board of the continent, and gives them
all their beautiful and proverbial verdure.—
Last winter, instead of westerly winds, easter
ly winds prevailed on the North Atlantic, and
the result was that England nnd Ireland de
prived of the warm airs of the Gulf Stream,
thought they were suddenly shifted up under

OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Syracuse, May 12, 1855.
Full and Accurate Account of the Proceeding*
of the Know Nothing Convent on All Right
Among the Council on the Slavery Question.
Tbe Grand Council, State of New York con
vened at Corinthian Hall, Syracnse, on Tues
day last, at 10 A. M., and adjourned on Friday,
at 14 A. M.
The attendance was full and imposing, every
connty and town in the State being represen
ted.
The annual message of the Grand President,
delivered on the first day of tho session, after
Ibe report of tho Credential Committee, was
received with great eelnt. nnd its sentiments and
doctrines, wbieh were strictly national nnd con
servative adjuring all sectionalisms, endorsed by
a unanimous vote.
The following is the conclusion of the inter
esting doenmont:
It will be necssary to oppose tho introduction
of external issues in your deliberations. We
meet in eonncil fora higher and nobler purpose
than the settlement of domestic fends. We are
hut an integral pnrt of a mighty confederation,
and should permit nothing to impede its prog
ross.
The platform of tho State Connell of New
York, as I understand it, and which I recom
mend for yonr adoption at this session, is as
follows :—
1. Americans shall rtile America!
2. The Union of these States!
8. No North, no South, no Enst, no West!
4. The United Statos of America as they are
—one nnd inscpernhle.
5. No sectarian interference in onr legislation*
or the administration of American laws.
6. Hostility to the assumptions of ths Pope,
through the bishops, priests and prelates of the
tho Romnn Catholio church here, In a republic
sanctified by Protestant blood.
7. Tohrongh reform In thu'naturnltzation laws.
8. Free and liberal edncationnl institutions
for all sects and classes, tho Bible, God’s Holy
Word, as a universal text book.
Does an Americnn require a broader pint*
form? No! brother*. Legislate then for tho
accomplishment of those objects. And rest as
sured in after years you will have reason to re
joice in the results of your labors.
Tho dawn of a politioa! milleninm is Appro
aching for the American people, and upon tho
present generation devolve* the responsibility
of a brilliant fntnre. ftolyingupon your wisdom
nnd pntiotlsm, I leave with you. under Provid
ence, the prospective giory of the American par
ty in the State of New York.

miraculous Transmutations
These are times, wondrous in the develop
mont of startling monstrosities in ths political
world. Nothing has so completely astounded
us of late, as the sadden and supernatural
change that has come over tbe Democratic par
ty, under the prestige of Mr. Stephens’ Letter.
With eyes in wild phrenzy rolling, and hands
uplifted, the soothsayers and astrologers of
modern Democracy are suddenly thrust aside,
and “ little Alic,” as they pleasantly called him
of yore, is rejoicingly hailed as their second
“Daniel come to judgment.”
He speaks, and listening to bis voice,
The locos leap for joy.
Nor does it matter what he says about De*
mocracy or its lauded Pierce and its polioy;
the same rapturous hosannas rend the skies,
whether he pitches into them or lays his rod
upon the ubiqnitous back of tho rnrasbackela
It is “little Alic,” that speaks: all correct.
Does not tbe following complimentarg hit from
his letter merit the unctions encore of the
Pierco Democracy? [Hear, Hear!]
“ The old National Whig Party tried the ex
periment when there was radical differences of
opinion on such questions, and went to pieces.
The National Democratic party are now frying
a similar experiment, and are experiencing a
similar fate.—This is what is the matter with it
Its vital functions are deranged, hence that dis
ease which now afflicts it worse than tbe dry
rot.”
Precisely so. Tho dry rot. That is the ap*
palling malady, and great as democracy now
admit their skill to be, neither Dr. Stephens
nor Dr. Toombs can savo the patienL They
were called in too late. He most die. “Alas
poor Yorick."
But the following language, in reference to
the policy of this “dry-rot” party, onght to
administer condolence to tbe bereaved: ?Hear,
Hoar!]
“U nfortunately for the country, many evils
which all good men regret and deplore ex J st at
this time, which have a direct tendehey won
derfully to aid and move forward this ill omen
ed crusade. Those relate to the appointment
of so many foreigners—wholly nnfit, not only
to minor offices at home, bnt to represent our
country, os ministers abroad.”
We congratulate modern Democracy on hav
ing at last called into question tho skill of two
old Wbigs, who have been fortunate enough to
probe ont the inveterate infection. To cure it,
will however require tho services of “Sam,”
which will be forthcoming —Recorder.
THE OLD MAID’S NEW YEAR.
Ob, tbe spring hath less of brightness
Every year,
And the snow a ghastly whiteness
Every year;
Nor do summer blossoms qnioken,
Nor does antumn’s fruitage thicken,
As it did—the seasons sicken
Every year.
It is growing colder colder,
Every year,
And I feel that I am older
Every year:
And roy limbs aro less elastic,
And my fancy not so plastic,
Yes, my habits grow monastic
Every year.
’Tis becoming bleak and bleaker
Every year,
And my hopes are waxing weaker
Eevcry year;
Care I now for merry dancing.
Or for eyes with pussions glancing?
Love is less and less entrancing
Every year.
Oh the days that I have squander’d
Every year.
And the friendships rudely sunder’d
Every yoar!
Of the ties that might have ’twined me,
Until Time to Death resigned me,
My infirmities remind me
Every year.
Sad and sad to look before ns
Every year,
With a heavier shadow o’er us
Every year;
To hehold each blossom faded.
And to know we might have made it,
An immortal garland braided
Round tbe year.

Like Pat in n row.
You’ve got such a smasher.
And feel so forlorn.
You’d do well to give in
And “acknowledge tlio Corn *
OI Snmivel, Aleck
Has given yon fits.
And knocked you entirely
Out of yonr wits:
No longer, no longer,
American Sam, .
Can your order survive
So tremendous a slam.
A shout gneth np
From Democracy's ranks,
And fill’d are their organa
With fnlsomest thanks.
If Aleck will head them,
The issue is clear.
They 11 soon pat him in
The Executive choir.
Had he been consulted,
His favor obtain’d,
You can’t tell, O! Sam,
How muchyon’d have gain’d:
Why didn’t you ask his
Permission to try
To put down those evils
Which are “all in your eye t*
Get back to your councils
And straightway disband,
As Aleck’s against yon
And shows yon his hand;
Get yon all on your knees
And swear to do better,
And take tbe advice
Ofhis sensible letter.
Ye all are like Arnolds,
A native was be,
And traitors like him
Ye are likely to be.
How greatly superior
Are Durhams and Devons I
And so judges foreigners

Destruction of Ants.—A correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger says:—
We give you a remedy—procure a large
sponge, wash it very well, press it dry; by so
doing it will leave the small cells open—lay it
on tbe shelf where they, are most troblesome,
sprinkle some fine white sugar on the sponge,
(lightly over iL) I wo or three times a day, take
a bucket of hot water to where the sponge is,
carefully drop the sponge in the scalding water,
and you will slay them by the thonsands, and
soon rid the house of those troublesome insects*
When yon squeeze the sponge, yon will be aston
ished at the number that had gone in the cells.
A shrub has been discovered near San Anto
nio, Texas, called gnisachi, which bids fair to
equal or supersede the Osage organ of Cherokee
rose for hedges in the South. The spines or
thorns are more numerous and formidable than
those of the Osng- orange, which is a great de
sideratum in the formation of live fenees. This
subject is worthy of experiment by all those who
are situated near regions where this plat can be
obtainnd, and if snccessful it should be made
known to the pn-° lie.

The Census of 1850. shows that the oldest
person living In ibe United States Was 140,
This person was an Indian woman, residing la
North Carolina In the same State was ad
Indian a^ed 125, a negro woman ill, two black
females lip each, one mulatto male i20, and
several white males and females aged from 100
to 114. In the parish of Lafayette, Louisiana,
was a female black aged 120. In several of
the States there were found persons, white and
black, aged from 110 to ll5. .There were in
the United dtateft in i860, 2,055 persons oVef
lOO years. This shows that about one pertoil
in 9,000 will be likely to live to that agCi
There are now about 20,090 persons in the
United States who were living when the Decla
ration of Independence Was signed, in. 1770.
They must necessarily he about SO years old
ow, in ordef to have lived at thei time. The
‘rench census of 1851 shows Oitiy 102 persons
over 100 years old, though their total popula
tion was near 38,000,000. Old age is, therefore,
attained an&ong us more fireqttebtly than id

We clip the following from the Vermont
♦Watchman, a leading Freesoil paper. It shows
bow freesoilers and abolitionists regard tbe A-
merican movement, and hence tbe absurdity of
opposition to it at the South.
K. N.isv Designed to Crush the Northern
Sentiment por Freedom.
Nothing bas ever alarmed tho Slavocrats aS
the union of tbe freemen of the North of all par
ties, for freedom, as indicated in the elections of
1854, which resulted in revolutionizing Con
gress—the House. They saw at a glance that
if the programme, thns indicated, should be car
ried out, the final results wonld be a President,
a Cabinet, a Senate and a House all for Freed
om. Glorions consummation! Bnt how could
the Slavocrats prevent it? Only by dividing the
North, of coarse. This coaid not be effected
by any of the old issues, so they resorted to K.
N.ism. For proof, we present the following ex
tract of a letter addressed by Gen. Dnff Green
ta Senator Hunter of Virginia, endorsed by the
“American Organ.” It is directly to the point:
“ Do yon not know that tho best way to pat
down one excitement is to get np a stronger?
If we analyze the element which give strength
and character to the American party, we find
that they are more potent, and of necessity oppo
sed to the Abolition movement. Let ns, there
fore. do what we can to giro it a proper direc
tion."—Duff Green to R. M. T. Hunter.
Bold Ground.—Orestes A. Brownson, a
somewhat noted Roman Catholic writer, recent
ly lectured in New Orleans. The Creole re*
ports him as follows on the destiny of the Ro
mish church:
“It must become the arbiter between the
Statu and th? subject. It mqst guard the man
by interposing its flaming sword as a defence.
It must construe constitntions and expound
laws, deciding where is the limit of cetralized
power, and what is its absolute duty to per
form.”
Sam Bogus.—A new stranger bas jast made
bis debut on tlio political platform.—His name
is Sam Boglis^-a/t’as Bogus Satn. The re 1
genuine, original, American Sam is in the
main, a personage of so irreproachable a repu
tation, and by consequence is coming so much
into public affection, that it is no wonder thero
should be, already, a good many bad, suspicions
characters stealing his livery. It behooves all
good friends of .the American genuine, Samuel
to look out fol*, add beware, ot this SttM Bogus.
Ho is a- political One-Eyed Thompsoti. The
fellow in general is known by the company he
keeps. Ho is to be found sometimes poking
about, in nnnerics, examining th- Lady Supe
riors, and performing other antics that the
Amerioan Sam would never think it worth
while ta engage in. Often he is found sneak
ing into a K. N. Lodge, to get votes there, in
order to put in power tho worst enemios of the
American Sam. Tbe policy of the seamp is
to do things in the name of “the Amerioan
Forty,” in order to damage it, and to prejudice
people against it—things Which tho real Sam
wonld be boartllv ashamed of. Sam Bogns, if
not a “ furrlnor,” is playing into foreign hands,
just te betray nnd kill Sam. Look out for him.

A Fact to be Remembered.—Horace Gree
ly, the Princo of the Abolitionists, alluding to
the probabilities of Seward’s re-election a few
days before it came off, nsed the following lan
guage,’which the Wise party should remember
whon they speak of the Abolitionism df tho
Know Nothings and the nationality of the Dein
ocraey. Mr. Greeley said :
“Should it be necessary there are a sufficient
number of Democrats ready to come to tbe
rescue. Union saving. Sieve-catching Know
Nothings, witn tho rest of the tribe, who are
trying to hnnt him down, may make themselves
as easy as possible under the circumstances for

Better than Baptism.—A clerical cefre-
spondent of the snn, who went to Europe in the
st6nmer,ihat hare Horace Greeley, writes that
tie thinks from “a remark he (Greeley) made,”
that Greeley cares more for breakfast than for
prayers, and that he hnsn’t much regard for
Evangelical ohristianity, from the faot that, on
asking him if he had over been baptized; Gree
ley replied, “no ! bnt I’ve been inoculated,
which is of moro importance.”
