ADREAM
In that dead hour of night to silence given,
Whispering seraphic visions of her Heaven.
[A“epers.
I shpt—bnt what is sleep to the unearthly
mind ?
Ah. can it bind the wakefttl, restless Bottl
That this inferior clay shuts lb, and curbs
From soaring from the earth, to realms of light,
It's ever aspiration ? No, my memory speaks.
I in that sleep I found surcease,
From troubles of a life bereft of joy.
By the sad death of all I loved of earth.
I slept—and had a dream—a dream of joy,
Os sorrow—and of all the passions which
Stir up the inmost soul. The dream was good, I
'Twas lovely—for I felt no mortal chains
To enslave ray spirit, glad exulting in
Its temporary freedom.—Would I dreamed 1
My spirit seems at liberty, and in
Its divine essence, did commune with souls.
That felt no more these vexing bonds of flesh,
Methought I saw in wild vividity,
Forms of another world to flit before
My dazzled sight. The seen* was truly strange.
Incomprehensible, but yet I felt
A stranger kindredness of soul to those
Light airy forms —I felt an unknown joy
To wait before the heavenly spectacle 1
And as the panorama of bright beings
Magnificently glided by my soul
Felt half a wild desire to speak, but yet
It dared not, as being yet unworthy of
Communing with such beings of unearth.
But now methought 1 saw in the wild train,
Just seen in the troubling obscurity
Os distance, a not less fair form ofliea”en;
And too methought, I saw in that light form
Some features w Inch were not quite all un
known.
The spirit yet approached with queenly grace;
When near it stood 1 My palpitating heart
Did almost break the magic charm that held
Me all immovable. For in that form
I recognized a something which did make
Me tremble, but not with fear.
’Twas an unutterable awe 1 felt—
The why, I knew net, but even thus it w ns !

UNLOVED.
Unloved! Unloved! is the scaring word,
That feeds in withering breast;
Unloved! unloved! and I feel its truth,
As I sink to my lasting rest.
This heart hath loved, with a faithful love,
And still will love to the last;
But oh ! to the faithful heart what a word.
As in the lone blast of winter is heard,
“ Unloved” —as I'm sinking fast.
Ab ! yes I've loved. I’ve loved with truth.
But I weep to find it in vain;
I've loved, but alas! to the faltering word.
A cold and a searing answer is heard,
“ Unlovedl” comes back again.
Unloved! Unloved! is the searing word
That feeds in my withering breast;
Unloved ! Unloved ! and I feel its truth
As I sink to my lasting rest.

LOVE IN A STEEL TRAP
BY THE COLONEL.
“Love laughs at locksmiths,” we are told,
I but rat-traps are no subject of laughter, ereu
to the blind god himself, as I shall show you
in the sequel of this brief story.
“ But will you go to-night ?”
“Yes, I will.”
; “And if I have old Bob behind the barn, at
twelve, you'll be waiting inside, and we'll drive
to New York and get married right straight off
the reel I"
” Yes. When all the folks are in bed and
asleep, I'll steal out of the washing-house door,
go to the barn, get in. and disguise myself.
When you coine. put in your finger, lift the
latch, open the barn-door, and I’ll drop into
. your arms lipe a ripe apple. Oh! Ido so love
'to run away ! Won't it be delightful!"
The speakers were Joe Chivers and Mary
Miller. 1 need not mention that they were
lovers. Mary's lathe l- was a prosperous farmer
in Connecticut, and Mary herself one of the
■ wildest, most light-headed, romantic, innocent,
and affectionate creatures ever made after the
i “almost divine” model of mother Eve. Joe
was a genereus, impulsive youth, whose par
ents had once seen flattering days, but had of
late been unfortunate, and fallen into compara
tive poverty.
Farmer Miller, as he grew rich, grew am
bitious. Mary was his only child, lie looked
to her settlement in the world as a means of
his own social advancement, and had already
, selected, in his mind’s eye, a suitable match for
her. Os course Joe's attentions, therefore, did
not meet with his approval; and while he was
unwilling to be though sordid enough to re
ject Joe openly for his lack of means, he had
I suggested to that young adventurer the pro
priety of absenting himself altogether from Ma
ry's attractive presence. This done, lie had as
sured Mary of his resolution to dispose other
hand according to his own notions of feminine
happiness.
I need not say that these facts, operating
upon the mind of a thoughtless, loving, eccen
tric, and spirited child, like Mary, had a pecul
; iar effect. That very moment she determined
to marry Joe t Javers. He was evidently per
secuted ? Persecution only made him the dear
er to her. She liked him before, but now she
■ loved him. in fact, the more she thought of it,
the more she was convinced that he was an
angel, and that perfect idolatry on her part
would only be an act of noble devotion.
If Farmer Miller had been a sensible man,
and at all disposed to study human nature, he
! would have adopted perhaps a very different
I course towards his wayward daughter. He
would have introduced his proposed son-in-law,
and forbidden her. at the same time, to in-
■ dulgc in the slightest regard for him. The
I probability is that she would have fallen des
perately in love with him at first s ; ght, and
given Joe liisccagc without further ceremony;
but Fanner Miller had away of his own. in all
things, and ho was satisfied that, .should Mary
feel disposed to play him a trick, he was quite
able to manage a Roland of her (diver.
The very next morning after he had, in this
manner, “opened his mind,” as ho called it, to
I his daughter, he luckily happened to see Joe
Clavers make his fugitive entrance into the
kitchen where Mary was busily at work, but
not singing as usual, for she was brooding over
I the parental cruelty.
Farmer Miller did not permit ninny minutes
toelapse before he had placed himself in the
wash-house, which adjoined the kitchen, so
that he might hear all that passed between the
discomfited lovers, lie did hear the dialogue
( with which I have commenced this hiatoriette.
lie possessed himself of the plan of the contem
-1 plated elopement, and lie was satisfied.
“ She is going to run away, is she f” ho said
'to himself. “I ll teach fu'm a lesson, I warrant
me; and as for the little gipsey, I'll settle Aer
business very speedily.”
After tea that evening, Mary retired to her
little room, her heart beating with anxiety for
the approach of midnight. Her surprise may
be imagined when, half an hour afterwards, she
found herself a prisoner! She tried the handle
of the lock. It would not move! What
| was to be done I Could it have been fastened
on her by accident I She called for her lather,
and he came.
"What's the matter. Mary ?” was his excla
,' mation, without, however, openingthe chamber
door.
‘•My door is fast, and I can't get out!”
“Very well, dear,” was his reply; “go to
bed, like a good girl, and I'll open it in the
morning.”
She knew it was not of the slightest us. - to
remonstrate. He must, by some means, have
discovered her design. She could do nothing
but weep and bite tier lips with vexation.
The next thing the farmer did was to visit
i the barn. As usual, it hud a lage wagon door,
in which was cut for comnion use a smaller en
; trance. The latter was only secured by the
ordinary latch inside, which was lifted, in the
! customary w ay, by thrusting a linger through a
small hole made in the door, beneath the latch,
for the purpose.
Fanner Miller remained in the barn long
enough to arrange matters to suit hr private
purpose, and then coming out. through the sta
ble that adjoined, or rather lay partly beneath
it, he walked quietly home, laughing heartily
to himself. He first listened at his daughter’s
door, and finding all quiet, retired to his own
• room and went to sleep.
Just about midnight, a horse and wagon
1 drew silently up, on the road, behind Farmer
Miller’s barn. Joe Clavers got stealthily out of
the vehicle, jumped the fence, and crept cau
tiously around to the door of the building in
question. How happy he felt! In another
moment, Mary would be his own! in the
morning, she would be his darling little wife.
Farmer Miller would storm, of course; but the
farmer loved his daughter dearly. He was
proud of her. He would, therefore, relent,
forgive, and ble~s them .' Full of these delightful
anticipations, Joe thrust his finger in the hole
of the barn-door to reach the latch, but
All! how he yelled with pain. A steel-trap,
adroitly placed on the inside, so as to catch
any obtruding article, had snapped, and his
bleeding finger was held fust with its it on
teeth!
It was a cold night, and Joe's feelings may
be conjectured as he stood there, shivering and
shaking, hour after hour, unable to move from
the spot, held a prisoner by the savage instru
ment, his lacerated finger occasioning him ex
quisite agony, and his heart fairly sinking into
his boots with the conviction that daybreak
would only expose him to the farmer's indig
nation and the village ridicule.
Just at dawn. Farmer Miller, chuckling over
the success of his rune, went down to the barn.
I There still stood Joe. ami not farofl' the horse
and wagon. I need not say bow Joe implored
pardon, and promised everything that could be
desired to purchase it and silence, f armer
! Miller and he finally closed a bargain. Joe was
’ released. Nay, more, Farmer Miller gave him
' one hundred dollars, and Joe was iu New York,
before noon, en route for lowa.
As fur Mary—this incident occurred two
years ago, and I have just kissed her first baby.
: She pleased her father, and seems to have
pleased herself iu consequence, quite as much.

THE WHOLE TRUTH.
A man named Cassady was on trial in one of !
the western courts for maliciously stabbing
another named Cole, when one Buek Bryant
was called as the principal witness in support
of the indictment. Being duly sworn, he pro- i
' ceeded to give the following testimony :
“Well, gentlemen, it w.aseiection day—'twas
a dark, cloudy, wet drizzly sort of day. and
says I to my old woman, ‘1 believe I'll godown
• to Ringgold, and 'posite my vote.’ And says
! my old woman to me, ‘Well, Buck, ns it is a
r sort of dark, cloudy, wet sort of a drizzly dav,’
said she, “hadn’t you better take your twnbrilN'
■ So I told the old woman. "I spcct I had better
take the umbrill.’ So I took the umbrill and ad
vanced down towards Ringgold ; and when I
got down thar, Mr. Cole corned, and says he,
’ ‘Uncle Buck, have you seed anything of old
' neighbor Harris ?' Says Ito Mr. Cole, "For
why ?’ Says he, ‘He's got my umbrill.’ (The
witness was here interrupted by the Court, and
told to confine himself to the actual affray be
tween the prisoner and Cole, the prosecutor.— :
In answer to which, the witness remarked, in 1
a tone of indignant remonstrance, ‘Well, now
Mr. Judge, you bold on, for I am sworn to tell I
i the truth, and I am a gwine to tell it my own ,
. way—so 'taint for you to say nothing more j
! about it;’ whereupon the Court and Common-
| wealth’s Attorney, being anxious to get rid of :
the witness on any terms, told him to go on |
’ and tell the tale in his own way.) ‘Well, as I
was a going on to say, ’twas on "lection day.—
1 ! Buchanan and Filmo was a running for the ,
Legislator, and says I to my old woman. ‘Old
'' woman,’ says I, ‘I b'lieve I'll godown to Ring- ,

woman, says 1, I 'spect I'd bettertake my utn-
’ brill ;’ so 1 took the umbrill and advanced on
’ towards Ringgold, til! 1 arrived thar. Well,
1 : the first thing I did when I got thar was to
’ | take a drink of Bu'hanan whiskey, which was
nionstro:y, good and says 1 to myself, says 1,
! ‘Old boss, yo>; feel better now, don't you !’ —
and while ! was advancing around, Mr. Cole lie
‘ come to tne : says he, ‘L ucie Buck,’ says lie.
' ‘have you seed anything of old neighbor Har
jr’isf’ Bays I, ‘for why !’ Says he, ‘The old
cock’s got my umbrill.' After a while 1 ’pos
e ited my vote, and then Mr. Cole and me ad-
■ vanced back towards home, and Mr. Cole was
1 tighter than 1 ever seed him. And so wo ad-’
t vanced along till we got to whar the road and
path forked, and Mr. Colo and me tuck the
’ path, as any other gentlemen would ; and ar
-0 ter advancing a while, we arriv to old neigh-I
’ bor Harris a settill on a log with the um
-1 brill on his arm ; and about that time Elijah
’ Cassady (the prisoner) corned up, and w e ad
vanced on till we arriv at Elijah's bouse. Eli
l' jab is my nett'ew and likewise my son-in-law—
" lie married my darter Jane, which is next tomy
1 darter Sally. Arter we had advanced to Eli-

Well, 1 got home and was a eating my supper,

signed to preserve the virtue of the race, and
to divide the human family into small commu
nities for the convenience of government and
the augmentation of general happiness. It
was not nn enactment of y csterday. i.or an in
vention of man. Its author is God himself,
and Paradise was the place ii: which the holy
rite was first solemnized. Adam was the first
bridegroom, and Eve the first bride. In the
pure atmosphere of innocency were "ihci/ twain
made onefleth."
.Several facts may be affirmed of this prim
itive marriage, which are worthy of special
notice:
First, it was the union of two rirtuous, iin- :
corrupted parties. The man was virtuous as
well as the woman. Under«t/cA circumstances
what moral sublimity invests the sacred union!
Secondly, the man was older than the wo
man. Here isanexanipleof fitness and proprie
ty to be followed throughout nil time.
Thirdly, this union was a happy one till the
tempter was permitted to invade the precincts
of the family circle. Then came sin, sorrow,
and troubles of every kind. Let those who
would be happy, repel mischief makers from
their presence before they have the opportu
nity to work evil.
Finally, this union was to be permanent un
der all circumstances. No separation «ns
contemplated on the happening of possible
eontingencies. “ They twain were one flesh."
“ Male and Female." ns God had cni.ted them,
and were thus to continue under a!! the vary
ing phases and changes of their mortal life.—
The idea of a disseverance of tliese sacred ties
for any cause whatever, was not provided for
in the original institution of matrimony . Di
vorces at a later period were simply permitted
to accommodate the peculiar obstinacy of the
carnal heart under the Jewish disjieiisation.
i but this general permission was revoked in
the days of L'hrist. and separations justified
only in cases of a specific violation of the
inrrriage contract for life. It should therefore
not lie thoughtlessly entered into, but when
once assumed by mutual consent, it should be
considered and regarded ns a perpetual union.
It may also be remarked in this connexion,
that the permission to separate for the cause
mentiomsl by the Savior, extends, in the opin
ion of some, only to separation. It does not
imply the right of either party to marry again,
during the life time of the other. This corres- |
|n>n<ls exactly w ith the teaching of the Apos
tle Paul, who says, virtually , that the marriage
tie can only be broken by the death of one
. of the parties.
Nor would it be d'uliciilt to prove from the
Scriptures—both of the Old Testament and the
New —that Christiane ought to marry neme
but Chrutiane. But we shall not enlarge on
this feature of matrimony, lest some interested
disciple charge us with teaching “Old Itand
inarkism" in a new form.— Christian Jnder.
INHALATION IN CONSUMPTION.
Bronchitis, Laryngitis, and other Bien-ases of the
Chest and Throat, succtsnfully treated by the Inhala
tion of Medicated Vapors and Powders, by Absorp
tion and Constitutional Treatment, as practiced at .
the Stuyi esant Medical Institute, New York City.
r | , HE unprecedented success which ha* attended
1 thia method of trefttmg.diseaaea ofthe Lung* and
Throat, has induced us to depart from our usual course
and avail ourselves of the columns of the Press, in
order to bring it to the knowledge of such us may be
laboring under, or predisposed to such affections.
The dawn of a brighter day has at length arrived for
the consumptive: the doctrine of the incurability of
Consumption having passed awav. We have indubi
table proofs in our possession that Consumption in
all its stages can be cured ; in the first, by tubercular
absorption ; in the second, bv the transformation of
the tubcrcule into chalky and calcareous concretion*;
in the third, by cicatrices, or scat s. Those wedded
to the opinions of the past may assert that, even now,
1 Consumption is incurable, such are behind the age.
To all, this great truth must be apparent, viz: that
the medicine inhaled i t the form of Vapor or Powder
directly into the Lungs must be much more effect ne
than tnat taken into the stomach, where the diseases
'do not exist. The advantage of inhalation in Con
sumption and Throat Diseases is, that medicines in
haled in the form of Vapor are applied <iirectly to the
Lungs, where the diseases exi.-t ; the stomach is thus
left nee to aid in restoring health, by administering
i to it healthy, life giving food. There is no case no
hopeless that Inhalation will not reach ! The means,
I too, are brought within the reach of all; the manner
of administering the Vapors being so simple that the
1 invalid is never required to leave home, where the
hand of friendship and affection adds so much to aid
the physician’s effort*.
The Inhaling method is soothing, safe and speedy,
and consists in th#* administration of medicine in such
a manner that they are conveyed into the Lungs in
the form of Vapor, and produce their action at the
seat of the disease. Its practical success is destined
to revolutionize the opinions of the medical world,
and establish the entire curability of Consumption.
I earnestly appeal to the common sense of all af
flicted with Lung Diseases to’embrace at once the ad
vantages of inhalation, and no longer apply mvdi- •
ernes to the unoffending stomach. I claim for inha
lation a place among the priceless gifts that Nature
and Art hath given us, “that our days may be long
' in the land,” and as the only Ark of Refuge for the
Consumptive; a method not only rational, but sim
. pie and efficacious.
Such of the profession that have adopted Inhala
tion, have found it etlicacious in the highest degree, ,
and working wonders in many desperaie cases; in
verity, a signal triumph of our art over this fell de- ‘
stroyer of our species.

and the honor us the South a* paramount to all other
considerations. Hence in the management of the
paper my motto will be “ Equality in the Union or
hoL.pe-ntLnc’ out of if." But, in my humble judg
ment, there is Lu| onu offU'tutd mcanft of preserving
.he Union consistently with the constitutional rights
»f the South, and therefore I will zealously advocate
' ‘hepolirs and principle* of that good old Democratic
party which has been our only anchor *’f safety during
the past, and now staudii our only hupq for the fu
ture.
