More Attorneys.
During the sitting of the Superior Court in Greenes
borolast week, Messrs. J. D. Mathews, Del Mann and
W D Sullivan, were admitted to the bar as practi
tioners in the courts of law and equity An intimate
collegiate association with the former of these gentle
men 0 enables us to speak knowingly of his abilities.
He is a good declaimer and a close reasoner, which, to
gether with his energy, eminently qualifies him for the
successful discharge of all the duties of an Attorney,
and we can but predict for him great success in the prac
tice of the law. He has our best wishes.
Mortality from Chloroform.— lt appears that the
mortality, in the London hospitals, has increased since
the introduction of etherization, from twenty-one to
thirty-three per cent., or, to vary the expression, in
stead of amputation being fatal in a less proportion than
one in four of those operated upon, it now proves fatal
to one in three. The Medical Times A Gazette asks,
in view of these facts, whether so enormous a sacrifice
of life is not too high a price to be paid for anaethesia?
The “Cable” has been a singular piece ot good luck
to the New York jewelers, who were suffering terribly
of the hard times, till they thought of an expedient to
facilitate sales by working up the unused cable into
breast-pins and finger-rings. They purchased it for
SISOO per mile, and sell it as jewelry at the rate of $160,-
000 per mile. As long as there is a demand for these
kind of keepsakes, the cable it is presumed will last,
and if it does not there is a manufactory of the article
close at hand whence the supply could be kept up.
Somebody has said, and many have repeated,
“A little nonsense, now and then,
Is relished by the wisest men.”
If the “relishing” of it makes it right, we might, with
the same propriety, changing the reading slightly, con
tend, that
A little whisky, now and then,
Is lelished by the wisest men.
Ergo, a relish for a thing makes its indulgence right.
We enter our protest against the doctrine.
Very Sensible.
Every word of the following verses is true—the expe
rience of every successful man. Advertising is had re
ference to by the ‘wise man’ when he declares, “there
is that scattereth and yet increaseth:”
Ye who in business would succed,
This precept mark —’tis true and wise—
Go to tbe Printer's office with speed
And advertise! Yes advertise!
The Printer’s Ink ! its magic power,
None but a foolish man decries.
If Panic clouds upon you lower,
Why, advertise ! Yes advertise!
Cotton.
The Courier <s• Enquirer, speaking of this “king,
says that one of the gratifying features of the commer
cial world is, the renewed and steady demand for cot
ton —a demand that increases in a much greater ratio
than the increase of population. The European demand
and prices are such as to furnish an ample guarantee of
remuneration to our Southern planters for a few years
to come. With all the available sources of supply from
Egypt, Asia, Australia and South America, the cotton
of the United States is not enough to meet the growing
demand in Europe.
Speaking of this crop in the Yazoo Valley, a corres
pondent of the New Orleans Picayune says that the
most sanguine do not now count upon a crop of more
than two-thirds in the hills. The crop in the bottom
lie estimates at an average one, which, for that country,
This latter, we observe in some
places in Greene county, though not to an extent to
cause much apprehension.
Whisky and Rats.
Some genius proposes this novel and experimental
plan for getting rid of rats: His own house being over
run with this species of vermin, the servant girl, who
had seen the effects of “Old Bourbon Whisky” on bi
peds, thought she would try the experiment on rats.
Accordingly, she took a very small quantity and made
it sweet with sugar, crumbled in bread enough for the
crowd and put the dish in the cellar.
A few hours after, she went down and found a few
rats gloriously ‘fuddled,’ engaged in throwing bean
pods and hauling one another up to drink. These were
easily disposed of, and those not killed left the premises
immediately, suffering with a severe headache.
The headache, of course, was merely conjectural; yet,
it is very likely true, judging from thte effects upon hu
man rate. To-be-sure, as the writer remarks, rats,
like allelse than man, will not try a second dose.
This plan is open, perhaps, to serious objection, for
in order to accomplish the desired object, one has to
“put the bottle to his neighbor’s mouth;” and rats are
our most intimate neighbors; they are as “familiar as
household words;” for while we have “slumbered and
slept,” in the “small hours,” they have well nigh “put
their foot in”—our mouth—as they scampered over our
face. But bad neighbors deserve bad treatment, and
rats now have fair warning that King Alcohol is ready
to descend into their tribe; and if they should take
fright and “vamoose the ranche ” that wHI “beat long
tail.”
Revivals in Atlanta.
We are happy to know that the Methodist churches
in Atlanta, under the care of Rev. Mr. Key and the Rev.
Mr. R. B. Lester, have been for sometime enjoying most
glorious and fruitful visitations of the Holy Spirit, which
arc resulting in large accessions to the church. Some
ninety or a hundred persons have already been admit
ted, and there i3 but little or no abatement of interest in
the meetings. Those able and pious ministers are
wholly absorbed in the good work ; and they are dearly
loved by their congregations and the people generally.
We trust their labors may be blest by yet another hun-
dred fold.
Considerable interest is beginning to manifest itselt
in the first Baptist church, under the charge of the Rev.
Mr. A. T. Holmes, who also stands high in the affec
tions of his people, and performs the duties of his pas
torship with eminent success. The 2d Baptist church
has noßastor—the Rev. Mr. Wilkes having resigned the
charge of it. But, we are pleased to learn that Mr. J.
T. Clark of Lumpkin will be there in a short time to fill
the vacancy for a month or more, and we feel assured
that he, though recently commenced preaching, will do
it with ability and great success. We had the pleasure,
a few nights since, of attending a meeting of tho choir
of this church, and were delighted with the singing.
Rev. Dr. Wilson has charge of the Presbyterian
church. Only one of the churches of thisdenomination
is supplied with a pastor. There are a number of other
churches in the city difil riug in faith and order from
those we have mentioned, which exhibits the extraor
dinary religious privileges enjoyed by the people of At
lanta. None are better supplied, and we hope the reli
gious feeling now pervading a very large portion of the
population will spread until scores without number
shall be united with the people of God.
We arc happy also to note an unusual awakening at
almost every point in our own and adjoining counties.
Nothing could be more welcome. We recognise in it
the greatest auxiliary in furthering the cause which we
trust is not far from a complete triumph, and which it is
our peculiai province to advocate. We are greatly en
couraged in the hope that the enlightening influence of
that Spirit which is shed abroad in such large measure
may lead to the correction of that evil in too many pro
fessing Christians, viz: dyam-drinking. Would it not
be well to specially enjoin upon those recent converts to
Christianity that the spirit of its greart founder is totally
in opposition to this destructive habit—especially when
proven to be the most prolific source of ‘shipwrecks’ in
spiritual affairs? We throw out this suggestion in no
spirit of .dictation, hut because we sincerely desire to
sec a continuance in well-doing. And besides, this

Free Lectures. —We lake pleasure in announcing to
the citizens of Petersburg that WM. R. HUNTER,
Esq., of South Carolina, an earnest and successful advo
cate of Sunday Schools and the cause of Temperance,
will commence a series of FREE LECTURES in our
city within a few days, of which due notice will
be given. MR. HUNTER is endorsed by the press of
South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina and other
States in which he has labored, as a gentleman of un
blemished reputation and a good Christian, and we doubt
not that the friends of Sunday Schools and of the Tem
perance cause will manifest their interest in the noble
work in which he is engaged by a full attendance on his
lectures.

J. A. JEFFERSON, j
We are glad to perceive, by the following item from
another of the Petersburg papers, his efforts are as
highly appreciated in other States as they have been in
Georgia, and as he returns among us in October next,
we can assure him of a hearty welcome in his former
field of labor. By a private letter from Mr. Hunter, he
informs us he will return soon to Elizabeth, N. J. and
when more at leisure, will give the readers of the Cru
sader a sketch of his visit to Petersburg, Va. where he
had the. pleasure of finding a live Division of the Sons of
Temperance* numbering about four hundred and fifty
members:
W. R. Hunter, “The Children’s Friend.”— Our
community is being favored with a series of lectures,
on Sabbath Schools, from that noble-hearted philanthro
pist, whose name heads this item. He has lectured in
the First and Second Presbyterian and Washington
Street Churches. On each occasion a very large num
ber of adults and children were present. We have ne-
ver witnessed a greater manifestation of interest by an
audience, than that exhibited by Mr. IPs hearers. He
possesses, in an eminent degree, the happy faculty of
enlisting and enchaining the attention of adults and
children at one and the same time. He takes strong
hold on the feelings of his hearers, and keeps them
deeply interested to the close of his leoture. In ad
dressing children, he seems to know just what to say
and how to say it. He is in earnest; he speaks from
his heart; in this is the secret of his success. We
loarn that he will lecture again on Sabbath Schools
next Sabbath afternoon, and on the following Monday
and Tuesday evenings, on the subject of Temperance,
on which occasions we hope ho will bo greeted by full
houses.
In addition to the gift of eloquent speech, Mr. Hun
ter bears a character above reproach. He is a lay mem
ber of the Presbyterian Church, and has with him tes
timonials of the highest order, as to character as a
Christian gentleman, from the pastor of his church and
others. He is also engaged as a voluntary Colporteur
in distributing bibles, tracts and other good books,
whenever opportunity offers, depending entirely on
gratuitous donations to aid him in the work. That he
renders more than an equivalent for the aid given him,
no one, who has ever had the pleasure of hearing his
interesting lectures, can doubt.
We take pleasure in commendingdiim as a profitable
and interesting lecturer—a true philanthropist and
Christian gentleman.
Here, again, we find the Express further noticing Mr.
Hunter in the following most complimentary manner:
Mr. Hunter’s Lecture Last Night. —This gentle
man’s lecture at the Tabb Street Presbyterian Church
lust night, on the subject of Temperance, was
listened to by a vast audience. The entire building—
galleries, vestibule, and indeed every inch of available
space, was crowded almost to suffocation. The ladies
were well lepresonted. The speaker occupied abont two
hours in the delivery of his remarks, which were liber
ally interspersed with anecdotes, recitations of verse,
ete. The interest was well maintained throughout, not
a seat being vacated from the commencement to the
The Sons of Temperance paraded in large numbers,
and the Centre Division from Ettricks attracted consid
erable attention with their neat regalia, bright banners
and soul-stilling music of drum and fife.

California. Drunkard Restored to liis Family.
One bright Sabbath morning, in the year 1853, W. a
poor California drunkard, who had been a capable bus
iness man, and who then had an interesing family on
the Atlantic shores, chanced to be sober. Passing
down Commercial street, in San Francisco', jo get his
morning bitters, he heard in the distance the sound of
a song, which so excited his curiosity, and enlisted his
feelings, that he hastened on in the direction of the
sound till he got to Long Wharf. There he saw the
singer, surrounded by a crowd of attentive listeners.
The song ended, a text was announced, and while the
preacher was dmdingthe word oflife.jmd uiviniMp
“SpTTirapplted it, and W. said to lnmself, as he after
wards testified, “There’s a good man; if he was not,
he never would preach in such a place as this; and
he is telling the truth; and if that is the truth, then
there is an awful hell, and I am going down into it as
fast as I can travel. Yes, I’m traveling to hell.” Look
ing around at this moment, he saw a miserable drunken
bloat, in rags, having on one old shoe, and carrying
another in his hand, and minus his hat. “Yes,” re”
peated W. “I’m going to hell, and this is my travelling
companion. O my God, what a road. What com
pany, and what a hell when the journey is ended.” At
that point, said he,” my agony of soul became so intol
erable I could listen no longer. I hastened down the
wharf to get away from the sound of the preacher’s
voice, and if possible, to get away from myself. But
my distress increased. The pains Os hell seemed to
get hold of me. I returned immediately to the preach
ing. The rest of that day was the most miserable pe
riod of my lile. That night I went to the ‘Bethel,’ and
heard the street-preacher again. My distress was in
supportable. At the close of the sermon, a pressing in
vitation was given to poor sinners like mvself, to come
to the altar and seek religion. I felt I ought to go, but
my proud heart said no ; and yet to live in that dread
ful state of mind was too intolerable to contemplate.
“1 sprang up from my seat, but instead of going up to
the altar, I walked out of the church, and went over to
that bar on the corner ot Davis and Clay sts., and
called for a glass of brandy. Just as I was raising the
glass 10 my lips, something seemed to say tome, ‘Drink
that brandy and you are damned.’ 1 set it down in a
asked in place for a cup of coffee, which I
drank. Then, as quickly as I could, I hastened back
to the church, and walked right up the aisle, and
kneeled at the altar. I then give up, and cried to God
for mercy, and, G glory be to God, for the sake of Je
sus, ‘he heard my cry, and brought me up also out of
an horrible pit, oqt of the miry olay, and set my feet
upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath
put anew song into my mouth, even praise unto our
God.’ ”
I was witness to that struggle, and the fruits of the
saving grace of God as displayed in the salvation of
poor W. He now has his family with him in San
Francisco, an intelligent pious wife, son and daughters
ripening to maturity, and full of useful promise. How
pleasing it is to sec that redeemed and pious father
bowed with his wife and children, as oft I have seen
them, around their own family altar, and there breath
ing forth their songs of praise, and their earnest appeals
to the compassion ts God for their salvation. But for
the street-preaching ns an instrumentality in the hand
of God, there can be but little doubt that friend W. had
long since gone down into the dock, and his soul into
the drunkard’s hell, and his wife, followed by his or
phan children, would now be walking mournfully in
the weeds of widowhood, sorrowing as those who “have
no hope.”
Wit and Humor.
Wit was originally a general name for all the intel
lectual powers, meaning the faculty which kens, per
ceives, knows, understands; it was gradually narrowed
in its signification to express merely the resemblance
between ideas; and lastly, to note that resemblance
when it occasioned ludicrous surprise. It marries ideas,
lying wide apart, by a sudden jerk of the understand
ing. Humor originally meant moisture, a signification
it metaphorically retains, for it is the very juice of the
mind oozing from the brain, and enriching and fertili
zing wherever it falls. Wit exists by antipathy; hu
mor bv sympathy. Wit laughs at things ; humorlaughs
with them. Wit lashes external appearances, cunning
ly. exaggerates single foibles into character; humor
glides into the heart of its object, looks lovingly on the
tflhrfnaties detect*, and represents the whole man.
VVit ts abrupt, darting, scornful, and tosses its analogies
in your heart. _ Wit is negative,analytical,destructive;
humor is creative. The couplets of Rope are witty,
but Sancbo Pnnza is a humorous creation. Wit when
earnest, has the earnestness of passion, seeking to des
troyi humor hasthe earnestnessof affliction,and would
hit up what W seemingly low, into our charity and
love. Wit, bright, rapid, and blasting as the lightning
flashes, strikes, and vanishes in an instant; humor
warm arid all-embracing as the sunsnino, bathes its
objects in a genial and abiding light. Wit implies ha
tred or contempt of folly and crime, produces its effects
by brisk shocks of surprise, uses the whip of scorpions
ape) tb® branding-iron—stabs, stings, pinches, tortures,
goads, teases, corrodes, undermines} humor Implies a
sure conception of the beautiful, tfie majestic, and the
true, by whose light it surveys and shapes their oppo
sites. It is a humane Influence, softening with mirth
the ragged inequalities ofexistenee—pronioting tolerant
views ofiife —bridging over the spaces which separate
the lofty lrom the lowly, the great from the humble.
Old Dr. Fuller’s remark, that a negro is ‘the image of
God cut In ebony,’ ishurnorptis: Horace Smith’s inver
sion of it, that the taskmaster ip <the Imago the devil
cut In ivory,’ is witty, Wit can co-extst with fipree
and malignant passions; but humor demands good feel
ing and fellow-feeling—feeling not merely for what is
above us, but for wfiqt js qround and beneath U. — Pd?

If a man is sincerely wedded to Truth, he must make
up his mind to. find her a portionless virgin, and love
her for herself alone. The contract, too, must be to
love, cherish and obey her—not only until death, but
beyond it; for this is a union that must survive not

iu almost endless profusion with very Jittlreffort, and
wearied with disappointment, and just on Ac point of
coining under the eye of the the police as dangerous or
suspicious, being without a visible means of living, he
wandered into the suburbs, then into the swamps in
the real of Jefferson City and neighborhood, where he
made his first acquaintance with the Louisiana alliga
tor.
His bump of speculation was at chice excited. Such
a creature was of some utility; his hide, his tusks,per
haps his bones, might find purchasers. So borrowing
from a man who occupied a hut in the neighborhood
a gun and some ammunition, he declared war upon the
alligators. He dried their hides, he extracted their oil,
he took out their teeth, and sure enough they proved to
be merchantable articles.
Commencing in* May last, he had, up to last Sunday,
killed 400 alligators. Having gained experience by
practice, he now hunts at night and carrying a pan of
fire.. Attracted by this usual light, they come up close
to him, when he finds no difficulty in bringing a mon
ster down at every shot
The skins of these alligators arc readily sold at seven
ty-five cents a piece. They are manufactured intowa
ter-proof boots, and the most valuable and expensive
shoes to be found in our market are made from tanned
alligators hide. The oil, tusks and hides of these 400
alligators have produced in the hands of our new hun
ter acquaintance $560, besides paying his current ex
penses.

Tle Queen and Pilnce Albert on the Road.
The officer who conducted a correspondent of the
New York Express through the stables at Windsor
Castle, what an honor to a native, related the following
incident:
It seems her Majesty, as well as Prince Albert, loves
fast horses, and she never rides without her nags are
upon the quickest trot. Well, she had'heard of the
speed ol the New York horses, and somehow the rapid
movement of a pair of them in London reached the ears
of the Prince and the Queen, They were both anxious
to see their movements and try their speed, which being
made known to the American owner, lie forthwith chal
lenged Prince Albert to test die mettle of his animals
between London and Windsor. The royal party were
to have twenty minutes start, and change horses on the
road, while the American trotters were to go through
the entire distance. The affair was wholly private, and
yet what was in the wind leaked out among the grooms,
and ail was excitement.
Having reached the half-way house and road, with
fresh horses again for a start, they all looked anxiously
back for the Amciican horses. The Queen and Prince
Albert were as interested as it their crown was the is
sue; and remembering the yacht race where the Amer
ica was victorious, by a wave of her hand to her postil
lions Victoria urged them forward. But itdid’notavail.
1 be American trotters were soon insight, and it was
but a few minutes before they were “neck and neck”
with the royal party; to their utter amazement they
soon passed them, as trotting horses are sometimes
accustomed to do on the Bloomingdale road When
the Queen and Prince reached Windsor the American
horses were all nicely groomed, and ready, it need be,
for another start. This exploit led to the purchase of
some trotting animals; but. having jeopardized the lives
ol the royal party, they wisely were abandoned. This
is the postilion’s story, and there is no cause to doubt
itstruth.
/Flie Maniac’s Sermon—A Camp-meeting
Incident.
BY INVISIBLE GREEN, ESQ.
It was 11 o’clock on Sabbath morning. Two ser
mons had been preached during the forenoon, and the
“horn” had been blown announcing the third. The
people flocked into the meeting by thousands, for a very
popular divine was to preach at that hour. Soon the
rough seats beneath the tall forest trees were filled,
then the aisles’•became crowded, and there was not
room for those who wished to hear the words of the em
inent minister. The owners of the tenements looking
into the space, in a spirit of kindness, threwtheni open,
and they, too, were fi’led with eager listeners. The
scene presented within that church of trees, a natural
Temple to the Living God, was striking and impres
sive.
- The eloanmmUVisAeVr^mdrey, arose. ~ All
was instantly hushed, and the stillness of midnight
reigned in that vast assemblage. He opened a book and
read therefrom, softly, sweetly, musically, a hymn,
which he requested the congregation to sing. ’
The music of a camp-meeting! Who that has ever
heard it, has not paused to drink the rich melody into
his soul ? It comes with a grandeur, yet softness and
sweetness that can be heard nowhere else. The meas
ured strains of a multitude of voices, united in charming
melody, and unkrokeu by walls, swell in solemn gran
deui t and roll deliciously through the forests, awaking
re-echoing cadences on every hand, and
“Untwisting all the chains that tic
The hidden soul of harmony.”
After the hymn had been sung the minister offered
i up a brief, eloquent prayer, and then resumed his seat.
He had taken the Bible on his knee and was searching
for his text, when he and the whole congregation were
started by the appearance of the Maniac Smith.
The young lunatic, who was known to nearly all pres
ent, ascended the pulpit with folded arms, bowed head
and slow and steady pace. Facing the immense con
gregation, he gazed carefully around, and amid breath
less silence, spread forth his hands, and in the most
thrilling manner said:
“Your music is the music of heaven. The pretty
birds in yonder tree-tops are hearing it with their songs
to the lips of angels above, who will convey it as sweet
incense to the omnipotent throne of God. Joy is thine
O Israel. You possess the living soul, that rejoices in
light of reason, that lives in the waters of purest love,
and rejoices in the glory of immortality. My soul is
dead! A cherished child of piety, I became recreant to
the God who gave me being, and sold my fife, my hap
piness, my immortality, to the Prince of Darkness.
Like the traveller who has a well-trodden path before
him, but is attracted to dangerous places by the gaudy
show of some poisonous flower, I have wandered to my
death. My feet were placed in the straight and narrow
way, were covered with the sandals of piety, and the
Chrisiian staff was placed in my hands, and yet, 0
God ! I wandered to my death. The gaudy baubles of
vice, the showy, yet thorny flowers of wickedness, drew
me aside. 1 iett the smooth surface and ascended to
mountains of trouble, and yet I gained not the object
ot my fate. The Wicked One, who sought my des
truction, lednicon, and I, cursed with remorse, followed
1 knew I was plunging into ruin, but with a soul al
ready accursed, what cared I ? Voluntarily I had sought
death, and it came. It was one night, and oh ! a fear
iul night it was to me. Exhausted, doomed and ac
curs and, 1 was still clambering up the mountain of sin.
I came to a chasm, deep and fearful. The liohtnins of
heaven flashed about me, and the thunder oT Omnipo
tcnce pealed in my ears. I felt myself moving towards
the fearful chasm! Death, eternal death, stared me in
the taco, and I screamed piteously for help. No one
came to aid me. My companions in vice listened not
to my cries, and he to whom I had sold my soul deri-
I ded me in mockery! I was moved on nearer and nearer
to the precipice. Frantically I grasped each shrub and
rocky prominence winch lay in my way, but they crum
bled in my hands. I reached the edge of the precinice’
I glanced into the deep abyss of death! Oh’ terror’,
terror! I plead Heaven ior mercy, but great God it
was too late! ’
“My sin-covered soul trembled with the agony it
suffered, and was pitious in its appeals. But the thun
der told me—'Too late.’ The lightning told me, ‘Too
late,’ and gracious heavens, my o%vn cowardly soul told
me—‘Too late!’ I felt myself going over the precipice
I clung with tenacity to everything within my reach, but
nothing could save me. I shrieked! I groaned! Down
to perdiliou went my soul-.'”
Here the maniac paused. His vivid portraiture of his
career, had started the whole congregation, some of
whom shrieked outright as he presented his soul’s
frightful descent into perdition. He paused a minute
only. Then calm again, he softly said:
“I am living without a soul! you people of God,
may sing your praises, for it is sweet incense to your
souls, But you sinners,” and here he again became
excited in manner, “but you sinners, must repent this
day, or your souls will go after mine over that deep,
dark, fearful abyss into hell! Will you repent, or go
with me into eternal perdition ?”
The effect of this was more than terrific. Screams
and groans arose from the gay and giddy in the con
gregation.
A year or two before, this young man Was brought home
one evening Insensibly drunk. The next morning
tqund him the victim of a terrible fever, brought on by
sensual indulgences and extravagant course ofiife.
Os that fever he was, after many fearful (lays, and
much tender core by his relatives, cured, but it left him
a r j Vl ma, M ao > a frightful lunatic. So fearful were his
mad efforts, it became necessary to confine him in a lu
natic Asylum, to keep him from perpetrating mischief
on himself and others. He remained there until within
q few weeka qf the camp-meeting, when he became suf
ficiently restored to be returned to the custody of his
family- He was still insane, but ho was mild and obe
dient, and under those circumstances ho was taken
with the family to the camp-meeting, the utmost vigi-
Ishqp being exercised oyer him.
Young men 1 beware of the cup, the destroyer of the
body, and worse, the destroyer of the soul.

Blackwood, for August, in a continuation of its in- g
teresting paper upon the blood, treats of the circulation
of the vital current, analyzing the claims of alleged dis
coyeriss in regard to the forces which impel it f 4t&l the
mode ol its operation upon the human systcnlt- Har
vey's merits were that he discovered the fact oflhecir

blood was carried from the heart through the arteries to j
the tissues, and from the tissues through the veins and ;

he knew not how the blood passed from arteries to ■
veins, nor why the blood thus moved. These facts
were left to be disclosed by other scientific suvans.
By way of digression, it may not be amiss to state
that Michael Servetus, whom Calvin burned, with God
ly fervor, for speculations of another kind, was the first
to announce the existence of the pulmonary circulation,
in a work which was burned by the theologians. No
thing can be less equivocal than the description given
by Bervetus, of the passage of the blood from the heart
to the lungs, “ where it is agitated, prepared, changes
its color, and is poured front the pulmonary arteries into
the pulmonary vein.”
To resume the purpose ofthisabstract ofßlackwood’s
article, what is it which causes the blood to circulate?
The heart, answers an unhesitating reader. That the
heart pumps blood incessantly into the arteries, and
that - this pumping must drive the stream onward with
great force, there is no doubt; but although one puis
sant agent in the circulation, the heart is not the sole
agent; and the more we study this difficult question,
the more our doubts gather round the explanation. Let
some of the difficulties be stated. There have been ca
ses of meft and animals born without a heart; these
“ monsters ” did not live—indeed, could not
live; but they had grown and developed in the womb,
and consequently their blood must have circulated.
The motions of the heart consist in the alternatceon
traclions and relaxations of its muscular walls. Du
ring each beat two sounds may be heard, one dull,
which may be imitated by pronouncing the word htbb ;
the other, quickly succeeding it, has a sharper sound,
like (lup. The former sound is supposed to be due to
the contraction of the muscular fibres of the ventricles,
and the thump of the heart against the chest; aided,
no doubt, by the rush of blood, and the closing of the
valves. The latter sound is caused by the shutting of
the semilunar valves of the aorta and pulmonary artery.
The number of pulsations varies greatly, not only be
tween cliflerent sexes and different individuals, but at
different ages and conditions of the same person. Du
ring the first year the beats are from 115 to 130 per
minute; from the 7th to the 14th year, from 80 to 90;
from 14th to 21st year, 75 to 85; from the 21st to 60th
year, 70 to 75; old age, 75 to 80. The female has
greatly the superiority over the male in respect of fre
quency, her pulse beating from ten to fourteen times a
minute beyond that of man.
What is it that causes the beating of the heart ? Hal
ler and his school attributed it to the irritability of the
muscular walls, which are stimulated by the presence
of the blood. There is this fact in favor of such an hy
pothesis, viz: that after the heart has ceased to beat,
and its irritability is extinct, a little arterial blood ejec
ted into it will cause it instantly to resume its pulsa
tions. This, however, is met by another fact, that the
heart continues to beat long after it is empty of all
blood. In the substance of the heart there is a com
plete little nervous system, consisting of ganglia and
nerves. The ganglia are to be found at the base of the
auricles and ventricles. One ganglion lies just where
the great veins enter the auricles; from these two
nerves join two other ganglias, close to the junction of
the auricles and ventricles. Nerves are thence distrib
uted through the muscular substance. That it is to
this nervous apparatus we are to ascribe the spontane
ous activity of the heart is easily proved; for. if any
part be severed from all connection with the ganglia,
the pulsations cease at once in that part; but if any
part be severed which still retains a ganglion, the pul
sations will continue. The movement during life or
death is thus seen to be due to the ganglia. But why
these ganglia? retain their power after the circulation
has been destroyed, and why a similar power is not ob
servable in other ganglias, still remains a problem. It
seems certain that the power is only retained during the
continuance of those molecular changes which we
vaguely name vital; for if the heart be subjected to the
influence of foreign gases, or be dipped in oil, its pulsa
tions suddenly cease ; on the contrary, if arterial blood
be injected long after the cessation of all movement—
haa.not_
vacuo, which excludes the idea of the atmosphere being
the stimulus that sets it going.
While, on one hand, the pulsations are not, in them
selves, evidences of life ; on the other hand, their cessa
tion is no evidence of death, but only one among the
many sigos ol death. When death follows a long or
painful illness, the irritability of the heart vanishes al
most with the vanishing breath; but if the decease be
sudden, the heart will continue beating for some time
afterwards. Harless observed it beating in the body of
a decapitated murderer an hour after the execution.
Margo found the right auricle beating two hours and a
half after the execution, although not a trace of irrita
bility could be detected in the other parts of the heart.
Dietrich, Gerlach and Herz found that both ventricles
contracted, if one were irritated, forty minutes after
death. Retnak observed the rythmic contractions in
the hearts of birds and mammals two days after death;
and Em. Rousseau mentions that a woman’s heart had
these rythmic movements seven and twenty hours after
being guillotined.
The writer in Blackwood favors Professor Draper’s
hypothesis that the arterialization of the blood in the
lungs is the cause of the circulation. The arterial
blood has an affinity for the tissues, which causes it to
press forward in the capillaries; and no sooner is that
affinity satisfied than the blood becomes venous, and is
pressed forward by theadvancingcolumn. The various
tissues require repair; they have an affinity for one or
other of the constituents of the blood; they take the
material they need, and their affinity issatisfied; or se
creting eells originate a drain upon the blood, and the
moment they have removed from it the substance to be
secreted, they have no longer any relation with it. So
processes of oxidation, of nutrition and secretion, all
conspire to draw the current onward from the arteries,
and push it toward the.veins.
The Old. Clock.
Fifteen years ago, I knew a rich man, and I recollect
of going to his house at that time. I remember just
how the furniture looked, and particularly a large Jam
ily clock, which stood in the corner of the room, which
was said to have cost $l5O. A few days ago I was in
the town, and called on busines at the house of a rum
seller, there I saw about the room some of this farmer’s
furniture, and in the corner stood the same old clock. I
need hardly tell you the reason of this change. The
farmer had died a drunkard, and his property, even to
his furniture, had passed into the rumseller’s hands, as
the wager that his master, Satan, had given him for ru
ining his soul. On this Dr. Newton says, “That story
about the old Clock, what a lesson on the sad changes
produced by intemperance; what a lesson, too, on the
• responsibilities of the rumseller, and the dread account
he must at last render of the wide cast evil lie has done
in this world.” There that clock stands in that rum
seller’s house, with its solemnly slow but steady tick
tick-tick, day and night, while its rightful owner
sleeps in the silence of the giave—and that tooa Drunk
ard’s Grave ! Oh, that the rumseller would only think
as he hears that old servant thus speak, how many
swiftly rolling years it kept the reckoning of time for a
happy family, and how many wearisome years it kept
the same reckoning for the same family in their misery,
and that misery occasioned by himself. How many
nights the pale care-worn wife sat listening to its lonely
sounds waiting for her husband’s return, while lie was
carousing in his shop, and if he would think, as he now
hears that ever recurring tick, tick, tick, that every
swing of tlie pendulum brings him one moment nearer
the lime when he must meet his victim face to face in
judgment, when time shall be no longer, and retribu
tion measured by no reckoning of time, shall begin,
never to end. Ah! if he could think of all this, how
would he bo overwhelmed with the extent of the ruin
u H P ro( htccd, ruin that shall abide after tho clock
shall cease to tell of it; after these busy scenes of earth
are passed away; after the world itself is burned up—
yea, forever,/ereeer. But, no, the Rumseller does not
think of half this, he puts down his conscience which
ever and anon rises like a ghost to upbraid him ; he
shuts out from his sightso far as he can doit, the horrid
results ofhis traffic in this life, and looks not beyond to
another, he! goes on piling up his heap of shining dust,
reckless to the misery tie is scattering around him.
But the time will soon come when his hand shall relax
Its grosp on the muck-rake, with which he scrapes up
that perishable pile, when tho visions of earth shall be
come dim to the sight, when the ticking of that clock
shall grow fainter upon his ear—hedies—and afterdeath
the judgment—and what after that ? Ah, the clock of
eternity will strike upon his ear, slow and heavy, tick
tick-tick, never to run down, but go on tick-tick-lick,
through the never ending ages of his torment. — Glens

M’ AN ERUJMTE CONSXAISLE.
is a constable residing in one of (lie cities of
tills StH tej noted for the beauty and regularity ol its
streets, who has but very little respect, for the King’s
English. He was once a witness at a Police Court
aguiust a man who had violated one ol the city ordi
nances. After stating that he had warned the man not
to persist in violating the laws of the city, and the man
refused to desist but became pugnacious, lie said: “as
he retreated on me I advarced backwards to Ibe railing
of the market.” One of the police officers received a
circular offering a large reward for a man who bad fled
from justice, and describing, among other things, that
he was a man with a “sprightly mind.” This was
read in the hearing of this erudite constable, who hap
pened to have seen the fugitive, when ho exclaimed :
“sprightly the devil! he’s as large a man as you are !”
He very often sees persons in “ expilious ” looking
places. A letter, in his liandwrite, would no doubt be
replete with many additions to the vocabulary of the
English language.
A.N ERUDITE MAGISTRATE.
Avery singular case was tried before a Magistrate’s
Court, in T——county, some years since. A simple
debt case had been died before the justice, judgment
entered up for the plaintiff, and execution issued against
the defendant. The plaintiff, thinking that things were
working well, went home, hut had scarcely arrived
there, when he was sent for to come back immediately.
A marc, belonging to the defendant, had been levied on
4>y virtue of the execution, and he had filed a plea ot
illegality. This was the way “things were working”
when the plaintiff’ arrived at the court-ground. The
Justice asked plaintiff if he knew the age of defendant’s
marc? Plaintiff answered in the negative. A tall,
gawky-looking backwoodsman was placed on the stand,
and interrogated as to the age of the mare ? He replied
that, to the best of his belief, she was eleven years old.
But what bearing bad the age ol the marc upon the pica
of illegality ? The plaintiff and his attorney could not
divine. The Justice gave his decision in the following
laconic style: From the evidence submitted to this
court, it is evident that the marc, belonging to the de
fendant in this case, is eleven years old. The execu
tion is scarcely a day old. If the court understands the
law, aud it thinks it does, it is of opinion thut the mare
is the oldest, and therefore not subject to the execution
KNOCKING TIIE BLACK OFF.
A case was tried several times in the Superior Court,
•3fC county, to recover some land claimed by a
poor young man, but then in the possession of a gen
tleman of ample fortune. The wealthy gentleman was
represented by Col. H , a lawyer of eminence in that
tsounty, while the poor young gentleman was represen
ted by Col. P , of'B counly, an ex-nienibcr oi
Congress, and a lawyer of extensive legal acquirements,
holding a very prominent position among the members
of tlie bar, in the Third Congressional District, for tal
ent and eloquence. Col. P. was successful in every
trial. Col. H., although an energetic and indefatiga
ble lawyer, having used every exertion in his client’s
behalf, concluded to give up and knock under. Arising
from his scat, at the conclusion of the last trial, when
the verdict was rendered adverse to his client, he in
formed Col. P. of his determination, and said: “lac
knowledge, Col. P., that you have fairly knocked the
black off'of me.” Col. P., with the utmost serenity,
arose and replied : “ I can inform Col. H. that if I have
knocked the black off of him that there is nothing left.”
I will simply add that there is no man in Georgia of
purer morals than Col. H.
TKAYING FOR RAIN.
3n a county, situate in the South-western part of the
State, there lived, many years ago, an old-fashioned
Methodist Class-leader, who disdained all attempts at
display, and .vas a plain, practical, pious, praying per
son.’ He was not what might be considered a highly
“oddicated” man; but what he said was always to
the “pint.” He took the diameter ofa subject, and
not its circumference. He never indulged in a circum
locutory style. When he prayed he asked for what lie
renlly desired. A long season of drought had prevailed
in his neighborhood, and the members of the church,
with their neighbors, assembled at the meeting-house
to implore the Ruler of the universe to bestow upon
their parched fields copious showers of life-giving rain.
Our worthy brother had an extensive “new-ground”
suffering for want of rain, and therefore was included
affoquent style, with wounded sentences and pleasing
jingle of sound. At last our good old brother was called
on to pray. lie felt the necessity of having good show
ers immediately, and was in earnest. He thanked God
for preserving the sinful lives of the people, and for the
manifold blessings bestowed upon them, and acknowl
edged their entire unworthiness and utter want ofrnerit,
and concluded thus: “ Heavenly Father, ifit ispleasing
in Thy sight, and consistent with Thy Holy Will, send
us rain at this time; give us a real potatoe rain—a reg
ular new-ground soaker.” It was not long before the
neighborhood was blessed v ith abundant showers.
“i HAINT GOT NO PRAYER.”
Sandy Squillers was also a resident of the same
county. He was of a pure, white complexion, the re
sult of frequent conflicts with “fever and ague.” He
was generally considered as a real “ ladies’ man ;” but
whether the ladies admired him as much as he admired
them, I will not presume to say. One Sunday he
dressed up in his best “bib and tucker,” and went out
on a courting excursion. He was mounted upon a pale
faced, stub-tailed pony; he escorted his favorite piece
of “ calico” to meeting. Having recently united hini-
self with the church, he took a front seat among the
members, where, with self-complaisant air and elonga
ted face, he would alternately cost a look of admiration
at the minister and the girl. The minister was well
pleased with his approbation, and highly delighted that
so good a brother had visited his meeting; and having
learned his name, at the conclusion of his sermon, said :
“Brother Squillers, will you pray with us?”
As this was a gilt that Sandy was not very proficient
in, he affected not to comprehend the question, and sim
ply ejaculated “ ba!”
Thinking that the good brother was deaf, the minis
ter slightly elevated his voice and repeated the inter
rogatory, “Brother Squillers, will you pray with us?”
Sandy was nonplussed, but articulated “ ha!” in re
sponse again.
The minister now elevated his voice to its highest
pitch, determined that il the brother had ears lie should
hear, and propounded the question, “ Brother Squillers,
will you pray with us?”
Sandy knew that there was no retreat for him, and
determined not to say “yes,” lie positively declined
giving the succinct reason for it in the following an
swer:
“ J habit got no prayer.”
After that, whenever young ladies desired him to
leave them in their “maiden meditation fancy free,”
they had only to say, “ Brother Squillers, will you pray
with us ?” and his speedy retirement was certain.
, THE widow’s appeal.
An Irish widow, who had a bright-eyed little boy
that was extremely ill, and to whom she was ardently
attached, made the following earnest appeal to him.
The little boy was in a kind of stupor, taking but little
cognizance of passing scenes, llis mother was in a
frenzied state of mind, fearing that her “little darling”
would be taken from her. Approaching the bed, she
caught hold of him and shook him very roughly, saying
to him: u House up! rouse up ! Peter, me dart bit, don't
be afther dying on me hands as yer ould father did!”
Peter recovered. W.
An Extraordinary Machine. —Mr. David L. Mil
ler, of Madison, N. Y., has invented a machine which,
from the representation given of it, is deemed a very
extraordinary affair. Mr. M. has been of the opinion
that some ancient application of the mechanical power
of the wedge, lever and screw, has been lost, as modern
mechanism could hardly accomplish—if it could at all—
the labor of erecting the pyramids and other huge an-
cient structures. He thinks lie has supplied this lost
art by his machine, which embraces the three princi
ples above named, together with a double cylinder. It
is portable, weighing only forty-five ‘pounds. At the
Norris Locomotive Works, in Philadelphia, where they
have one of the machines in use, one of the workmen,
a man weighing 156 pounds, lifted, with facility, the
enormous weight of 37,332 pounds, or more than eigh
teen tons, merely by the application of hia strength,
through his hands, to the levers.
“.And where was the man stabbed, sir ?” said an ex
cited Irishman on Friday night last, on Fourth Street,
to a physician.
“ The man was stabbed about an inch and a half to
the left of the median line, and about an inch above the
umbilicus,’? was the reply.
“ Oh, yes; I understand now. But I thought it was
near the Court House.”
WROI OHT INTO CiOLB.
BY MRS. cfv. DENISON.
I saw a sniilc—to a poor man ’twas given ;
And he was old ;
The sun broke forth ; I saw the smile in Heaven
Wrought into gold—
Gold of such lustre never was vouchsafed to us;
It made the very light of day more luminous.
1 saw a toiling woman sinking down,
Foot sore and cold;
A soft hand covered her; the humble gown,
Wrought into gold.
Grow straight imperishably; and it will he shown
To smiling angels gathered round the judgement throne.
I saw a grieving babe, and motherless ;
I found a fold
With a poor widow ; how sweet her caress.
Wrought into gold,
Made her face glisten, and her eyes grow bright with
feeling . *
The innersight God gives his chosen saints revealing.
Wrought into gold; we that pass down life’s hours
So carelessly,
make the dusty way a path of flowers,
It we would try,
Then every gentle deed we’ve done, or kind word giv
en, ...
Wrought into gold, would make us wondrous rich in
Heaven.
A City iu lltc Air—The Mirage on flic F.ains.
From the Mavsville (Cal.) Express, we learn tha
travellers across the Plains assert that they have seen
on Noble’s Pass Route about thirty miles this side of
the Humbolt river, the most wonderful phenomena that
they think ever have been witnessed in any part ol the
world. It is no less a thing than a city in the air
complete in every aspect and concomitant. It is seen
in the early morning and stands self poised above the
dead level ofa broad and airy plain, which is covered
with a light white dust that rises in small clouds at the
touch of a horse’s hoof, or ascends in magnifi
cent spiral towers in tlie breatli of the little whirlwinds
that are occasioned by the intense heat. The line of
the base ol the city forms an angle with the line of the
plain, so that the city seems to lean over towards the
earth, and a full view ot its streets and buildings is pre
rested. All the streets seem to tend to one point, where
they concentrate, and whence of course they diverge.
The architectural beauty and splendor of this city in
the air, arc ofa character uncqualed by anything upon
the face of the earth. The buildings rise, one after an
other in proud, palatial grandeur, and their tall towers
glitter like molten silver in the sun. Clean and perfect
was the work of the mysterious architect who iranied
those marble looking wonders of theair. Theapparent
extent of the city is about six miles in circumference,
und the nearest approximation of the base to the dis
tance of about fifty feet. Not having seen this phenom
enon, of course we enter into any minu e description of
it; we can only give the general idea which we have
presented. We are assured that the illusion is perfect
—nothing wanting whatever to fill up the picture—a
magnificent city, silent as the bottom of the sea, but
glittering in the full life of the sunshine, and self-sus
tained in the heavens.
American Chronology.
America was discovered by Christopher Columbus
in 1482. He was a native of Genoa, and in the ser
vice of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain.
The continent of America was discovered by John Ca
bot in 1497. He was a Venetian merchant residing in
Bristol.
Corteral, under the King of Portugal, visited the Amer
ican coast in 1501. He stole fifty Indians, which, on
his return to Europe, he sold as slaves.
Verrazzania visited the coast of North Carolina in
1524.
Cartier, a mariner of Saint Malo, andain the service
of France, visited the northern shores of America in
1534.
The French settled in America in 1604, at Port Roy
al.
The city of Quebec was first settled in 1609.
Juan Ponce de Leon discovered Florida in 1612.
DeSoto discovered ihe Mississippi in April 1541. He
came upon it below the Chickasaw Bluff’, 20 or 30
miles the mouth of Arkansas river; and on the 21st
of May 1542 he was buried beneath its surface.
The Harbor of St. Augustine was discovered by Me
lendez, the Spanish governor, in September 1566;
and the building of the town was immediately com
menced.
Sir Walter Raleigh landed on the coast of North Caro
lina on the 14th of July 1584. and took possession of
it in the name of Queen Elizabeth. It was the
