The public have now before thorn the Pros
pectus of a work of which Wit and Humor are
to constitute the principal ingredients The
publisher has observed the avidity with whieh
productions of similar pretensions, are Sought
after, notwithstanding their leaden atiempts at
wit have been disfigured by Coarse vulgarity,
and too otlen evinced an utter disregard of de
ceucy, unmindful that
Immodest words, admit of no defence;
For want of decency, is want ot sense.
The favorable disposition which the public hare
so constantly manifested towards similar at
tompis to amuse and entertain, has convinced
the publisher that a well conducted and pleasing
melange of Wit and Humour, wilibe extonsive
ly patronized Under this impression he has
made extensive arrangements, to procure, fit
great cost, the best productions of a humorous
nature both at home and abroad, including the
comic works of liood, Cruikshank, and other
genuine sons of Comuß; the Looking Glass, an
unique affair, with numerous olhet laughable
and -nirth-inspiring subjects.
It is impossible, nor shall we think (S' attempt

idea of the variety and spirit which it thall be
the constant aim to infuse into the page„ of the

er, to show, by the testimony of the most dis
tinguished physicians, that invalids of almost
every doscript.on will derive benefit, from dur
labors; particularly those who are afflicted with
weak nerves lowness of spirits; and complaints
of a dyspeptic or bilious nature To these our
work will prove invaluable, and the smile cf
good humour which will brighten the counten
ance, and the sense of inward satisfaction and
self-complacency which will assuredly put our
patients in the best of Tiumour with themselves
and with tho world, will induce them to throw,
forthwith, their bottles, pills, and “physic to the
dogs.”
We can only specify among the general and
diversified topics of the future pages of the
work;
Touches at the Pride, Whims and Follios of
tho Times, in which the lash of satire Will be
used with unsparing severity; but always in
such general terms, and with such perfect

FAREWELL.
Oh Anna! do not say “farewell,"
Though we be doom’d to sever;
’Tis like the sullen passing knell,
Os pleasure gone forever.
Ah! find a gentler language then,
The mournful truth to tell,
Say ‘parted friends may meet again,’
But do not say farewell.
Oh! do not say farewell.
It telln r>F pleasure past away—
It tells of future sorrow;
That summer smiled on yesterday,
And winter cornea to-morrow.
Around the heart it seems to throw
A melancholy spell
Os mingled memory and woe;
Oh! do not say farewell.
Oh! do not say larcwelf.

SERMON.
On the Abuse of Borrowed Articles.
‘•Alas, master 1 ’fur it was borrwed.”
This was the exclamation of one of the
sons of the prophets, who, in the days of
the famous Elisha, went to fell timber on
the banks of the river Jordan. The axe
not being well secured on the handle,
dipped off and fell into the river. Then
it was, that in an exclamation of grief,
the honest son of the prophet cried, as he
looked wistfully jnto the stream, “Alas,
master, for it was borrowed.”
Here we might expatiate upon tlie fault
of keeping had tools, or not keeping them
in perfect order. We might also suppose
it was a mercy that the axe, when it flew
off the handle, had not hit the head of
some other choppers, and split them o
pen, instead of quietly dropping into the
water, as sacred history has been careful
to inform us. But we waive all such minor
considerations, and come directly to the
important one, of the abuse of borrowed
articles.
Whether it was , that the sonstvf the
prephhets were better taught or more
honest than their neighbors; or whether
mankind in those days paid more regard
to borrowed articles than is customary at
the present day, we cannot decide. But
most certain it is, that few in this age of
Tefinemcnt would think of making such an
exclamation of grief at the loss or injury
of a borrowed article. Instead of saying
“Alas, master, for it was borrowed,” they
would be more apt to say, carelessly,
“A ever mind it was only borrowed." And
should some honest Elisha set about re
pairing the loss, or injury, they would
say—“ Give yourself no trouble. Mister,
for it was only a borrowed article.”
Thus you wiilsee borrowed books used
withe little or no ceremony—defiled with
grease-spots, and deformed with dogs’
ears. You will see them thrown about
the house and given to the children for
play things. Y’ou will hear Mrs. Slip
shop say, “do give that young one some
thing to quiet it.” And when told there
is nothing to give it, except the new book
on the mantlepiece, she will reply, “well,
do give it that then; ’tant ours, it's only
borrowed." The brat is mightily pleased
with its new plaything, it applies it to its
mouth, dribles and puker on it, tears out
the leaves* and finally ends tlm sport by
throwing it into the lire. “Here, ma! ma!
the baby has thrown the hook into the
fire !” “Never mind,” savs Mrs. Slip
shop, "it was only borrowed."
A mail borrows a wheel-harrow, with
the promise of returning it in three hours,
instead of three hours he keeps it three
months. Day after day the \ chicle is
a ■ ■
mi standing out doors, exposed to the
weather, mid rotting for want of *helt» r.
“Daddy,” says a little boy, with native
honesty, “this ’ere barrow-wed hunt been
sent home yet, aud yon promised to send
it home m three hours.” “You block
head,” gays the man, “let it be, and go
about your busint s.” “But,” says the
hoy, “it’ll get spoilt, standing out here.”
“well what if it does V' says the man.
“it’s only borrowed." There it stands
week alter week; and month after month,
and finally an ox ear* is driven over it,
und is smashed to pieees. “There ? now
dyddy,” says the boy, “the liarrow-wheel
lms gone to smash !” “Never mind the
harrow-wheel, you dunce,’’says the father,
“ it's only borrowed."
The manner in which borrowed hor'ses
are used, is well known. They are over
loaded, hard-drivers, and poorly fed.—
“\\ e’ll get all we can out of them,” say
the borrowers; “if we do spoil thorn, it’s
no concern of ours— they're only borrow
ed." A fellow with a horse and gig
drives as if the Old One was driving him.
He shakes the reins, he craks the whip,
he chenrps the steed forward; and the
poor animal, straining every nerve and
exerting itself to ilie utmost, comes up to
an Inn, covered with foam, panting for
breath, and trembling in every joint with
ever exertion.—The borrower leaps from
the gig, calls for Something to drink, per
haps to eat, and to smoke, and enjoys
himself without any regard to the wants
of the poor horse; and when addressed
by some humane bystander, with—“ You
unfcecling coxcomb, why .‘en’t voti take 1
car 6f your ho se, as well as yourself 1
Here you have driven the poor creature j
nlmost to death, and now you leave him
shivering in the cold air, and give him no
thing to eat or drink !” The coxcomb re
plies, as lie lights anew cigar, and pulls
up his dickey, “Don’t give yourself any j
trouble, sftr— the creetur's only borrowed."
In short, wherever we look, we cannot
help noticing a shumefull want of care,
in relation to borrowed articles—both as
regards the mamrfer in which they are u
sed, and the dilatoriness with which they
£re returned. In fact, it is a common
expression, in relation to returning bor
rowed articles, that “it is saffieif nt to go
after them, without being at the trouble
of carry ing 'them home.” This is but a
poor return for the favor you have receiv
ed from the lender and the pains he has ta- j
ken to accommodate you. The spirit of
borrowing is, in all conscience, had e
enough in itself; but when accompanied
by a disposition never to return, or re
turn in a ruined condition, a borrowed ar
ticle, it is absolutely unpardonable.
Oh ! for a single dVop of the honesty
of the poor son of the prophet on the
banks of Jordan I And Oh! for the sa
credriess with which the prophet regard
ed the loan, in that he wrought a mirarfe,
to restore the borrowed article.
THE NIGHT-MARE.
The modifications which night-mare
assumes are infinite: but one passion is
never absent—that of utter and incompre
hensible dread. Sometimes the sufferer is
buried beneath overwhelming rocks which
crush him on all sides, but still leave him
with a miserable consciousness of his sit
uation. Sometimes he is involved in the
coils of a horrid slimy monster, whose eyes
have the phosphorescent glare of the se
pulchre, and whose breath is poisonous as
the marsh of Learn. Every thing horri
ble, digusting, or terrible, in the physical
or moral world is brought before him in
fearful array ; he is hissed at by serpents,
tortured by demons, stunned by the hol
low voices and cold touch of apparitions.
A mighty stone is laid on his breast, and
crushes him to the ground in helpless ag
ony ; and bulls and tigers pursue his pal
sied footsteps; the unearthly shrieks and
gibberish of hags, witches and fiends float
around him. In whatever situation he
may be placed he feels superlatively
wretched; be is rolling his eternal stone ;
he is stretched upon the iron bed of Pro
crustes ; he is prostrated by inevitable
destiny, beneath the approaching car of
Juggernaut- At one moment lie may
have the consciousness of a malignant be
ing at his-side; then to shun the sight of
so appaling an object, he will close his
eyes, but still the fearful being makes his
presence known ; for its icy breath is felt
diffusing itself over his visage, and he
knows that lie is face to face with a fiend.
Then if he looks up, he beholds the hor
rid eyes glaring upon him, and an aspect
of hell grinning at him with more than
hellish malice. Or he may have the i
dea of a monstrous hag squatted on his j
breast: mute, motionless and malignant; |
an incarnation of the evil spirit, whose in- j
tolerable w eight crushes the breath of bis ;
body, and whose fixed, deadly and ir.ces- j
sant sture, petrifies him with horror, and ;
makes his very existence insufferable. In i
every instance there is a sense of oppres- ;
sion and helplessness; and the extent to]
which these are carried varies according;
to the violence of the paroxysm. The.
individual never feels himself a free agent;
on the contrary he is spell-bound by some
enchantment, and remains an unresisting
victim for malice to work its will iqion. —
He can neither breathe, nor walk, nor run
with wonted facility. If pursued by any
imminent danger, he can hardly drag one
limb after another ;if engaged in combat,
his blows aro nre utterly ineffective ; if
involved in the fangs of any animal or in
the grasp of an enemy, extrication is im
possible; he struggles, he pants, he tods,
but it is all in vain his muscles are rebels
to the will, and refuse to obey its calls. —
In no case is theie a sense of any free
dom ; the benumbing stupor never departs
from bun ; and hia whole being is locked
iap in one mtghtv spasm, sometimes lie
| iS forcing himself through an aperture too
small for the reception of his body, and is
there arrested and tortured by the pangs
of suffocation, produced by the pressure
to which he is eXjposed ; or he loses his
way in a narrow labyrinth, and gets in
volved in its complicated and inextricable
mazes; or he is entombed alive in a sepul
chre, beside the mouldering dead. There
is in most cases,an intense reality in all
that he sees, or hears, or feels. The as- ■
pect of the hideous phantoms Which hur
rass his imagination is hold and defined ;
the sounds Which greet his ear appallingly
distinct; arid when any dimness or con
fusion of imagery does prevail, it is of the
most fearful kind, leaving nothing hut
dreary and miserable impressions behind
it.— Afacknish on Sl< cp.
All tool’s day.— The custom of
fool making on The first of April, prevails
generally throughout the civilized world.
In Lisbon, it is thought very jocose to pour
water on any person passing, or to
throw powder in bis face; but by any un
usual quickness to Succeed in inflicting
both upon an individual before he can
get out of the way, is considered the very
summit and perfection of wit. The
French observe the day, although with
them an April fool is called “un poisson
d'Avril." Even NapcdCon did not escape
this epithet on the Ist April, 1810, the day
ho married Maria Louisa.
It would seem that the French police
make no allowances for the liberties ta
ken Gn the Ist of April, for a few years
ago a young lady having pocketed a watch
in the licuse of a friend, was taken before
the correctional police, upon being charg
ed with the theft, she pleaded that it was
an April trick (tm poisson d' Avril.) She
was asked whether the watch was in her
custody? she denied it; hut a messenger
j sent to her lodgings found it on the man
tel piece. Upon which, the young lady
said she had made the messenger an “A
pril fool,” im poisson d'Avril. The Judg
es determined not to be surpassed in this
sort of pleasantry, jocularly recommend
ed to the young lndv to remain in the
house of correction till the first of April
next ensuing, and then to he discharged
as il un poisson d'Avril." . The Hindoos
at their festival of TTuii, amuse themselves
on this day in sending people on foolish
errands and the like tricks. In Scotland,
this sort of amusement is called hunting
the gowk, the person made a fool of be
ing generally the bearer of a letter, in
whieh is writen,
“On the first day ol April
Hunt tho gowk another mile;"
he is thus sent on from place to place, till
he discovers the trick. We think that
the fashion is going out with us, we don't
hear of ourebddfen being any longer sent
to the shoemaker’s for stirup oil, or to the
apothecary’s for pigeon’s milk, or to the
bookstores for the adventurers of Eves
'mother, nor are pocket books fastened to
the pavements, or neatly done up pack
ages scattered about the streets, as fre
quently as formerly, even the excessive
use of w hite chalk in commemoration of
the day, begins to he abandoned.

The present year is 1884.—An observ

ted that by the last eclipse of tire tnoon in
1831, we are enabled to prove, that our
present computation is defective by no
fewer than three years. Correctly speak
ing 1831 is 1834; for Josephus tells us that
shortly before the death ofHerod, during!
whose government the Saviour was born, j
their occurred an eclipse of the moon in j
the night of the 12th March, and it has j
been astronomically demonstrated, that j
the eclipse took place in the fourth year!

Messrs Editors.- An inquiry into the present
siato of vaccination, seems io be called ter from
tho presence ot the Small I’ox and an anoma
lous disease denominated varioloid, oi moOtjU<l
small vox. The destructive ravages which it
has of late made among the citizens of the Un»
led States in one or the other ot them, from ita
loathsome anil offensive character, and w hen it
gets a firm hold lire difficulty with winch tho
subject is relieved by the most skillful profess
or* of Ihe healing art, all touspire, to render it
one of the most justly dreaded, and greatest
scourges which has ever \ i Ccd the human fam
ily. The Leprosy, I’higne, and Yellow Fever
of modern times not even excepted
The apparent appalhv, indifference and eveg
levity, with which il has been received by many,
and lulled into a total neglect of ilns invaluable
discovery of the immortal Dr Jenner, is '‘past
ing strange ”
If I can contribute in aViy way to rofhove tbit
lalal sopiui'irosi, and sheer negloct, from the
minds ot any portion of my fellow-citizen's, in
resorting to timely vaccination, us a proplivlac
trek remedy, and the only one again** varioul
one, or suiall pox contagion, I shall have hceu
amply rewarded for the time I may devote to
the subject before me.
Within a few year* past, wot a little distrust
nos been excited in the public mind in Scotland
whore the varioloid has prevailed, and clsowhero
abroad and in our own country, iiy reison-of
alleged failures of vaccination to iicuro tho hu
man system frtmi attacks of small pox. Tho
coitsequcuce of this distrust has been, that soma
physicians have again resuntid to the practice
ol small pox inoculation it becomes, the refore,
a most serious inquiry, whether tho present state
of vacillation be such as to justify distrust in its
efficacy .and lo warrant the revival of inoculation
with variolus virus, or in other words cmia.il pox
matter.
fcinca the existence of small pox in a siste>
Slate, and the alarm produced from the proba
bility of its spreading, or reaching our town, I
have been otlen asked the f< die wing questions-.
l*t. Are those who have been successfully
vaccinated liable to attacks ot small pox, and do
such attacks prove fatal?
2d. Does the evidence on the whole warrant
our con'inued ionfuUv.ce in vuccinatiou, as rim
only preventive of the mortality ol the vareo
lous contagion?
From all tho authorities I have consulted thp
histories of epidemic smallpox, that have pre
vailed in Scotland, the United States, and elseo
where, furnish tho most conclusive testimony
on the first point proposed. Not a writer ap
pears lo have enlerlainod a doubt, but that tho
most successfully vaemnated persons,arc some
time* liable to be attacked by small pox; and
although some have given other names to the
disease, as it appeared in vaccinated persons,
than that of small pox, yet il is manifest that
the prevailing opinion is, that it was the same
disease iii iho vaccinated and unvaccinatod, dif
fering only in degree, the morbid action being
modified and disarmed of its malignancy by the
change effected m the system by Iho agency of
vaccination. Hence tlie essayists in Scotland
for the most part, denominated the disoaso as it
occurred in vaccinated patients, by the name o t
modified small pox. Epidemics have uniformly
operated «i h various degrees of force on differ
ent individuals, in consequence of constitution
al dissimilarity, or some other circumstance,
caldnlaled to favour such varie'y of effect. So
in vaccinated persons, such a particular consti
tutional impression has been induced by vacciu
atiori, «s to cx' mpl them from the fatal issue of
small pox, w hich so generally marks its courso
in the unvaccinated
1 'will endeavour as far as possible to give tho
authorities both pro and con, in tavor of and a
gainst vaccination, not pretending to much ori
ginality, ns the present production has been tho
gleanings from nearly ah the most interesting din
distinguished authors who have favored tho
public with their views. It is a subject, in my
humble opinion, from its vast importance, which
loudly ca Is Jar Executive and legislative inter
ference. The want of a national vaccine estab
lishment and State vaocine Institutions, is a
subject of just reproach against us, whore ear
citizens could at alt limes be supplied
uino kine pox matter, is certainly a great desid
erate, and that tho inhabitants should be com
pelled by statute, to vaccinate each and every
member of their respective families «sis the fact
in many parts of Europe. Il appears to me no
philanthropist can quebtion.
That vaccinated persons ar# liable to attacks
of small pox, will abundantly appear from tho
following testimony, some of which is of the
highest character. t .
Ur. Duncan, in his admirable review of
Thompson on varioloid disease expressly says,
that tho disease in vaccinated persons, was real
ly small pox, that no or.o doubted it as respect
ed the unvaccinated, and those w ho had not i ad
small pox, he thinks that vaccftlation merely
modified the disease and r udered it mild.- Ed
inburg Medical 4' Surgical Journal No. 63 pagt>
232.
~ The small pox that prevailed no,ft Edinburgh,
appeared to attack indiscriminately, persons who
had small pox, and tho«e who had gono througli
neither. —some jVo. 63, p. 2 >2.
Dr. Jenner says, tho constitution losos its sue
ceptability for small pox in proportion to thode
gree of perfection in the vaccine pustule during
its progress, and that the small pox taken sub
sequently, is modified accordingly .—same .Vo,
63, p. 1 0.
In general says the reviower of Dr. Thomp
son, we believe" it will be found, that a small
proportion only of vaccinstpd persons exposed
to tho infection take the disease, while few un
protected persons escaped —same .Yu, 63,p. 232.
Vaccinated persons who had the modified small
pox m Edinburgh in IHI7, had been previously
exposed lo the contagion of small pox with im
punity. It is hence inferred, that the Bmall pox
of that grntlo was peculiarly virulent in its char
acter—same Xo 63, pJ24O. At *he end of the
year (161!') small pox nppoared, and at the same
time a modified small pox, which attacked n.eu»»
but the vaccinated. It gorteially existed whetn
smallpox prevailed in the same house— snne,
j\'o. 68, //. 342. T. Or, en, Surgeon, to the VVclcb
Charity, relates four cases, in one family of
small pox after *' ;lcc jnation “mw A» 66, p.

sons who hud been re vaccinated, and ho inocu

Ao. Gfi, p. lt>o. Mr. Hill, aa eminent Surgeon,
reports some cases ot small pox after vaccina
tion, that occurred in the Military hospitals of

Many uioio quotations night be given, equal
ly to the point 1 will now give evidence to
show, that the matter taken from pustules on
the bodies of vaccinated persons w ho were sub
