THE TREASURE SEEKER.
Sick at heart, anil lank in purse,
I ilraged my snake-like days along;
Want is man’s reproach and curse,
And gold is bliss— thus ran my song.
So, to end my woes and pains,
A treasure crock I went to roll up;
Stuck the sharp steel in my veins,
And signed the bond that gave my soul up. _
Magic circles then I drew.
And flaming hieroglypics there ;
Herbs and bones together threw,
And spake the incantation prayer.
Storms were blackening midnight's face,
But T fulfilled each godless duty;
Standing by the marked-out pla?e,
I sunk my spade to dig the booty.
Twelve o’clock! Lo! from afar,
Advancing swiftly through the darkling
Midnight mist, I marked a star
Most luminously rare and sparkling.
Wonder overpowered my soul:
Then brightlier flashed the heavenly flood,
And in his hand a glittering bowl,
A beauteous boy before ine stood.
Mildly gleamed his eyes of light;
With richest wreaths his brows were crowned ;
Haloed by the liquid bright,
He stepped within the circle’s bound.
Friendlily he bade me taste ;
And 1 lien 1 thought, this cliilJ so fair,
Light begirt and mildness graced,
Hath surely scarce a demon’s air!
“Dr’vpk at Life’s upgusliing wells!
Thus dost thou learn the manlier science ;
Scorn these paltry spectre spells,
And bid thy nightmare cares defience,
Spend no more thy spirits here ;
But noonday tasks and evening pleasures,
Week days’ labor, Sunday’s cheer—
Be these thy charms to conjure treasures
German of GoetheV *
[How applicable are the above lines to the current state of
the public mind—and how useful the spirit of them, “ for
present use.”]
Omitting too much, —A green, good natured,
money-making, up-country Jonathan, who said
every thing dryly, ‘got things fixed,’ and stuck up
a bargain for matrimony; having no particular
regard for appearances, the parties agreed to em
ploy a green-horn country justice to put up the
tackling. He commenced the ceremonies by re
marking that, ‘it was customary on such occasions
to commence with a prayer, but lie believed he
would omit that;’ on tieing the knot he said, ‘it
was customary to give the married couple some
advice, but lie believed lie would omit that; it
was customary to kiss the bride, but he believed
he would omit that also.’ The ceremony being
ended, Jonathan took the squire by the button
hole, clapping his finger to his nose, said, ‘Squire,
h’s customary to give the magistrate five dollars
—hut I believe Til omit that!’
A story of True Love, —Helen Irving, a young
ladv of extraordinary beauty, and uncommon
qualifications, [the of the song, ‘ I wish 1
were where Helen lies,’] was descended from
the ancient and respectable family of Kirconnel,
in Annandale, at present in possession of Sir
Wm. Maxwell, of Springdell, Bart. She had for
some time been courted by two gentlemen, whose
names were Bell and Fleeming. Bell was pro
prietor of Blackwood House —more properly
speaking, Blacket House—and Fleeming, of
Fleeming Hall, situated near Mossknow, at pres
ent in possession of Capt. Graham. Bell one
day told the young lady that if he at any time
afterwards found her in Fleeming’s com pan}’, he
would certainly kill him. She, however, had
n great regard for Fleeming, and being one day
walking along with him on the pleasant romantic
banks of ihe Kirlle, she observed bis rival on the
other side of the river, among the bushes.—
Conscious of the danger her lover was in, she
passed betwixt him and his enemy, who imme
diately firing, shot her dead, whilst she leaped
into Fleeming’s arms. He drew his sword, cross
ed the river and cut the murderer in pieces. A
cairn, or heap of stones was raised on the place
where she fell, as a common memorial in similar
incidents, from the earliest times among the Cel
tic colonies, and continues over Scotland to this
day. She was buried in the adjacent churchyard
of Ki rconnel —and the poor, forlorn, disconsolate
Fleeming. overwhelmed with love, and oppressed
with grief, is said to have gone abroad for some
time, returned, visited her grave, upon which he
stretched himself and expired, and was buried in
the same grave.
Oregon is the greatest lumber country in the
world. Around one mill, within a circle of three
miles, stands timber enough to last 100 years, the
mill cutting 6000 feet a day. The trees are from
6 to 10 feet in diameter, and some of them 300
feet high. They are felled into a lake, floated to
the mill three miles, sawed by water power, and
turned out at the side of the mill, whence a vessel
lakes them to California. Wheat in Oregon aver
ages Go lbs. a bushel, and Oregon flour brings SG
more a barrel at the gold mines than any other.—
The number ot votes cast in Oregon in June, was

BLAKE’S PATENT,
FIRE-PKOOF PAINT, FROM OHIO.
Singular and valuable Substance is sold in line powder,
B then mixed with linseed oil to the consistency ot thick paint,
and applied with a brush, and after an exposure of a few months to
the atmosphere, this coating becomes a peifect slate or coat of mail
protecting whatever is covered from the action of the weather and
fiom fire.
It is a mineral substance, and has been found upon analyzation
by Dr. Chilton, of the city of New Yoik. to consist ot larger pro
poitions of Silicia Alutnine, Prut. Oxide of lion and Magnesia,
with lesser of Lime and Carbon. It is used extensively for cover
ing roofs of either shingles, matched boards, tin, zinc,sheet iron or
thick paper, if yourshinglcs have been on for years, you have only
to sweep off the moss and lint, with astiff bloom, and cover with
two or three good coats, and in a few months you have a perfect slate
roof, impervious to the action of the weather and fire. There is
nothing equal to it for steamboats and car decks, for all kinds of iron
it forms a coating nearly as hard as the iron itself, and never cleaves
off. It should be used for everything that you wish to piotect Irom
fire and weather.
In some places a spurious article has been sold as the genuine,
therefoie purchasers should be careful to buy of authorized Agents

ASTHMA and CONSUMPTION
The uniform success which has attended the use of this pre
paration—its salutary effect—its power to relieve and cure atfec.
lions of the Lungs, have gained for it a celebrity equalled by no
other medicine. We offer it to the afiheted with entire confi.
dence in its virtues, and the full belief that it will subdue and
remove the severest attacks of disease upon the throat and
Lungs. These results, as they become publicly known, very
naturally attract the attention of medical men and plulanthro
pisls everywhere. What is their opinion ol CHERRY FEU
TORAL may be seen in the follow in or ;
VALENTINE MOTT, M. D ,
Prof Surgery Med. College, Ntw York, says: —
** It gives me pleasure to certily the value and efficacy nf
Ayer's C HEIIRY PECTORAL, which 1 consider peculiaily
adapted to cure diseases of the Throat and Lun<rs.”
THE RT. REV. BISHOP FIELD
writes in a letter to his friend, who was last sinking under nn
affection of the Lungs:—“ Try the CHERRY PECTORAL,
and if any medicine can give you reliet, w ith the blessing ot
God that will.”
CHIEF JUSTICE EUSTIS,
of Louisiana, writes “ That a young daughter of his was cured
of several severe attacks of Croup by t lie* ‘CHERRY PECTO
RAL.’’
ASTHMA AND BRONCHITIS.
The Canadian Journal of Medical Science
states, “ That Asthma and Bronchitis so prevalent in this in
clement climate, has yielded with surprising rapidity to Ayers
CHERRY PECTORAL, and we cannot too strongly ncom
mend this skilful preparation to the Protession and Public gen
erally.”
READ THE EVIDENCE.
Albany, N. Y., April 17,1848
Dr. Ayer, Lowell—Dear Sir:—l have for years been afllicW
with Asthma in the worst form ; so that I have been obliged u
sleep in my chair for a larger part of the lime, being unablel
breathe on my bed. I had tried a great many medicines torn
purpose, until my Physician proscribed, as an experiment,your
CHERRY PECTORAL.
At first it seemed to make me worse, but in less than a week
I began to experience the most gratifying relief from its use;
and now, in four weeks the disease is entirely removed. 1 can
sleep on my bed with comfort, and enjoy a state ol health
which I had never expected to enjoy.
