From the Knickerbocker for February
THE MYSTERIOUS LAKE.
somk time ago, when 1 sent you Mr. Em not ur
account of that mysterious spring,T?tK Wakullaii,
I promised as you will remember Luther particu?
lars of this wonderful laud in which my lot is cast.
In performance of that promise I think of nothing
which will interest you more than our tietir neigh?
bor Lakk Jackson, which 1 shall prove to be a*
self-willed and unreasonable a body of water for ti
lake as tin: Whigs fancy they have proved its illus?
trious nameyake to have, been as a president and n
man.
Three years ago it was a beautiful -beet of water,
extending north and south a distance oi about seven
miles, mid varying in width from one to two. It.
shorcswerc uneven; sometimes rising abruptly tc
the bight of forty or fifty feet, and sometimes run?
ning in a gentle slope from the water's edge to a
considerable distance; but always they were beau?
tiful Thu sturdy live oak was there, misting its
branches out with perfect abandon: looking sis
bruve and free as the noble .-hip itself of which it
some day will forma part. The grand miignoliu
was there, the monarch of the southern grove; to
which the onk succumbs ns the -tout and serviceable
yeoman bends to bis slight but handsome und ac?
complished lord. These with thu countless other
.trees which this climate produces, tied together
with festoons of wild vines, und draped with long
gray moss, made it- shore- u resort for till who
loved the beautiful in nature. Nor wtts tut entirely
wanting. At an early period after the occupation
of the country the neighboring planters, availing
themselves of the ninny beautiful situations which
its bunks presented, built their houses on the high
bluffs that overlooked the hike, and cultivated the
grounds in fulling gardens down to the water's
edge. Two tit least of those establishments would
in till re.-pi'ct - compare favorably with many in olden
countries.; and in hospitnlitv and good cheer, they
tire certainly no where to be excelled.
A ou have perceived that in till this description I
have been speukitigin the??past tense; und von will
ask, " Why adopt this mode of telling your story? "
You shall hear.
Two years ago the dwellers on the lake were
startled to observe ti strong current setting from all
directions toward one or two particular spots. The
waters were all greatly agitated, and strong eddies
were observed to be working where the currents
met. The level of the water rapidly subsided several
feet, then suddenly remained stationary for a few
hoars, and then fell again us the same mysterious
currents set in afresh from every side. Tin.- con?
tinued until the whole lake, with the exception of
u few deep places here and there, wos draiued ; and
the poor fishes and other swimming and crawling
things that " do business in great waters" lay lloun
dcring in the mud, at the mercy of animals of the
other element, chiefly men and hogs. But there
were many who went there not for fish but to lind
out what had produced so great a revolution; The
strong currents had ploughed broad furrows in the
sand; and following them they found their termina?
tion in deep chasms and crevices in the rocky bot?
tom of the kike, but which were too narrow and
irregular to be satisfactorily examined.
Here then was the explanation: tired of tin* sun?
light and glitter of ibis upper world, it had broken
the crust and inundated Symmes's hole ; or weary
of the name ii bore on earth, or disgusted with the
injustice its namesake encountered among men, it
hud gone down tu lludamuuthtis and to Minos for
ttieir opinion.
I was nut there at the time, and cannot say for
certain. It was some month* after the event that 1
fotuid time to ride out with one who once was ti bold
dragoon, but who now sleeps, alas! where he can
never again hear his bugle's call. A merry ride we
had; but sad am I, poorG-! to think even of
its joyousness, when 1 remember all that has hnp
pened to thee since;
But for the ride. The Cup tain was mounted on a
vicious little black, and 1 upon a powerful and well
conditioned roan; and followed bv ti couple of at?
tendants, we started for the runaway lake. Our in?
tentions were chiefly scientific ; but to be ready for
every emergency we each of us shouldered a double
barrelled fowling-piece heavily loaded with buck?
shot, and had plenty more of tho materiel stuffed in
tkisks iu our pockets, or slung in pouches over our
shoulders.
Ihe first view of the lake, as we emerged from
the skirt of woods, was very fine?a vast sen of
waving grass. Water could not have yielded more
readily to the influences of the breeze than did tue
long and feathery herbage which spread for miles
before us. Wave after wave rolled up .gradually to
the shores, making long sweeps and broad furrows
where the w ind played freely, and potted into dim?
ples and eddies as they rounded the headlands, and
were met by opposing currents.
But we did not stand long to look. There wu> a
stronger attraction in the clouds of game which
from time to time were floating over the lake from
one feeding-ground to another ; and we plunged into
the long grass, riding till we got within gunshot of
the nearest pond, and then proceeding more cau?
tiously on foot, that we might not alarm our quick
sighted prey.
" Then' f" exclaimed the Captain, in a nervous
whisper, "what a fine chance! Why did you not
Mboot ?"
1 gave him no cause, you may rest assured, tor a
tsecond similar remark, for as he afterward laugh?
ingly said, " 1 let nothing escape my aim ; " impos
sible distances never daunted me; all I wanted was
to see the bird, and bang went my gun, and away
Hew the shot, describing harmless parabolas in the
air. The consequence was, that before my com?
panion had done any thing my shot was all gone;
und not caring to burn powder to no purpose, nor to
shorten his sport by borrowing bis ammunition, I
left the field and wandered oft" in search of the
chasms of which 1 had heard so much.
1 soon came to one of the gulliee which trmrerse
the bed of the lake. It wai perfecdy dry. hut tt W
easy to tell from the appearance of the sand winch
way the waters had run; and walking down an im
per'cep?ble ^ fe^P^
to a kind of basin, in the .artner fj^ ,
saw the subterranean opening, I could
of it I might as well have tried to study the con
:fitut,on Tluman brain by looking into the or,
fice of the external ear. In about a foot there was
a stratum of sand mixed with a nch loam, but then
ram- the rough and jagged edges of crumbling
b'niestone; and the-e were so irregular, and were so
lapped one above nnodier that nothing more could
bo seen than six or seven feet below the surface.
The irregular shape of this aperture suggested to
mv mind the reason why the water-, a- I mentioned
above, suddenly ceased to flow. The fish and rub?
bish of all kind- which were carried down might
easilv have choked up the entrance and. for a time
at least, have obstructed the passage altogether.
But whv the waters should run away at all, 01 where
they ran to, I found nothing to help mc decide; nor
has any one whom I have a-ked been able to tell. It
is the general opinion here that the kike has com?
mitted thi- same freak at least once before, although
none of this present generation remember any thing
about it. A -.tump of a pine tree, which must have
taken at least fort wears to grow, is found in one of
the lowest parts of the bed of the lake; and it is
not too much to argue from this circumstance, that
for so long a period, a great while ago, the place was
bare of water. Beside this; I have l*een t"id that
some Indian pan- were found near one of the chasms,
as if it had in old times been a campaign-ground or
-pring. But it is probable enough, without any
proof except what is found in the nature ol the strata
of which this part of the earth is composed. After
we got below the soil we came to n bed of " rotton
lime-tone,'' which goes down nobody know.- how
deep; Wo have tried to get through it one or twice,
in the attempt- we have made at Artesian wells;
and tit once at least in the capitol-yard we got down
several hundred feet; but it was ;t hopeless under?
taking. We broke our augers, and our wise legisla?
tors have to content themselves with surface water
instead of drinking it fresh from the antipodes.
Well, this vast body of limestone is nothing but
a petrified honey-comb, and there are chambers
enough in it to hold all the water that was over
drunk in by the deserts of Zahara : of course,
therefore, the only thing that is necessary when
we de-ire to empty our lake- i- t.i cut :i hole in
the bottom, and they sink. This uiisouwbiess in
our physical construction hud the elt'ect "I frightcn
, ing from among us n worthy immigrant from either
the Granite or the Key-stone State. Finding no
. spring in his immediate neighborhood, his first care,
after ' squatting' upon a desirable piece of die
. public domain, was to dig ;i well. Me and his son
; John and his hoy Jim in a few daysgol pretty well
. down into the bowels of the earth, and hoped that
t one dav's labor more would furnish diem widi a
. purer and cooler draught than they could get from
L the Branch, near half u mile away. Such were
their attempts tit night : for they had heard the
.sound of wnier, and :i few more strokes thev were
i certain would cut the vein and bring it- volume
; into their well. But to their dismay they found
i next morning that the bottom of their well had
fallen out, and .1 heavy current w;is moving lazily
.along and gradually undermining the ground on
which thev stood. It did not take them long to
harness up their oxen, to throw their skin- and
kettles into their carts, and to "be nioviii';"
Thev wen* assured that hundreds of years might
elapse before the earth would cave, hut it was to
no purpose; and 1 should not he surprised to hear
that, they are planting corn and rousting potatoes
very near the place from which they originally
came. But 1 atii running away from my hike.
After satisfying my curiosity, I bethought my?
self of returning to fjjc gallant Captain, and, ti?
the sun was nearly down, of setting our faces
homeward. But it is an old experience that the
descent to Avcruus is an easier thing than to re?
trace your steps, and my fate was classical. To
follow my footsteps in the sand whs tm easy thing
enough, hut when I came to the place where I
entered the gulley, there was the ' opus' and the
'labor.' All around me and two feet above me i
saw interminable fields of gras.-, and my passage
through had loft no more trace than that; of the
birds I hud been seeking had done upon the nir.
" Whichever way I turned" was grass, and, to
continue the burlesque upon the hern, who is quite
apropos to subterranean thoughts, 1 could have
confessed ' myself am grass' if jt would at all
have helped me out of the difficulty. 1 traveled
on, not knowing whether I was right or,wrong, oc?
casionally firing oil' my powder and shinning al
wavs until I was completely tired out, and then I
laid down upon an armful of the said giass end
rested.
How long I should havs remained there I no
not know; hut fortunately sportsmen came within
hail and in answer to my appeal, pointed out
where the Captain and the horses were. 1 tool;
tilt' direction, and watching the sun hurried to
them. I had been going precisely wrong for more
than a mile, and but for the sportsmen 1 slmuld
have been compelled to spend the night upon the
lake. A short ride brought me to B-, where
wo had n comfortable dinner by candle-light and
then n long dark ride carried two tired people
home. The next dav the servant brought to US,
nicely cleaned, the brant the Captain had bagged;
but when 1 asked him for the snipe that 1 had
shot, he declared that they were only kildcegs.
Between you and me, Mr. Editor, Tom ate
those snipe himself. Yours, I..
DELIRIUM TREMENS?A SKETCH.
Thedclerium tremens is one id' the most fright?
ful consequences ol intemperance.?When the
wretched victim of unbridled appetite, has indulged
to a certain extent in ids accustomed stimulant, his
reeling brain conjures lip a multitude ol' fancies, far
more horrible than ever tantalized the wildest ma?
niac. The concluding scene with ?weil an individual
i- itidiscribably fearful. Death in all ii- Protean
variety, has never si fleeted me with such sensations
as I have experienced when standing bvthu wretch?
ed inebriate, suffering with this terrible disorder.
One case to which my mind reverts, was marked
with circumstances of painful interest. Esquire
Lang was a wealthy gentleman farmer of extensive
repute. He was a worthy member of the Stute
Legislature, an excellent neighbor, and in days
when a periodical revel was rarely accounted an
evil, a man of irreproachable moral character, r ew,
even in his own domestic circle,referred the bloated
corpulency of his naturally large system, and the
fiery flush of his full face, to the legitimate cause.
His doily drams of Cogniau and his regularly re?
tiring to bed every day after dinner, were the only
practices which the most scrupulous whispered t<>
his discredit. But abused appetite forces us sooner
or later to pay the forfeit. Mr. Lang was arrested
in'his intemperate course by a fit of strong apo?
plexy, lie had been partially recovered by the
energetic application id' the usual restbrants and
all stimulating food and drinks, strongly inter?
dicted as certain hindrances to entire convalescence.
His brain now tortured with emptiness as it hud
before been with plethora, was giving birth to ail
the wild ami horrible imaginations of delirium
tremens. I tied my horse under one of his ample
shed- and entered without ceremony, lie -at bolt
upright in his bed, and his countenance was the
innige of despair. His eyes were alternately fitfully
glancing, or fearfully rolling in their -trained sock
ets, as it in pursuit of ever changing objects, now
advancing, now retreating; and now flitting with
electric rapidity over the field of vision. Startled
at my entrance, he looked up ami vehemently ex?
claimed, "Would vourobme?" Again, recoiling
trom my proffered "hand, he shrieked', "you would
murder me!" und sprang from the opposite sale of
his couch with superhuman energv.?The injudi?
cious opposition of his friends to his whims, had
phrcnticd him to on alanaing degree. He utteriv
Ond obstinately refused anodynes; and was only re
Itrained by force from leaping from the windows
of his apartment to escape these visionary vet to
him real torirJfnters. Grasping the clothes" convul?
sively as we replaced him in bed, he buried himself
beneath a half-a-dozen blankets. "Ha! there yet?"
he muttered in stifled tones, and flung the covering
from himself to the floor with startling suddenness.
Soothing words calmed him occasionally, but he
f seldom lost sight for a moment of the phantoms
' dancing attendance upon his unthroned imagina?
tion.?Now. terror beamed from every lineament.
" Fiends !" he exclaimed, shrinking backward and
elevating his hand for defence-Again his face ex?
hibited every mark of strong loathing and disgust.
" Snakes!" "said he. " sec them crawl!" u Sec !
they are on my body.'" ''Keep them on"!" raising
his voice with each successive exclamation. Now
his eves rapidly traversed the circumference of a
circle which was rapidly lessening.?u See! they
are on me f' he exclaimed, when hi* person was
embraced within the narrowing limits: "Why
j don't you keep them off ?" The expression of his
feature-, hi- intense agitations, his motions were
all those of one upon whom ten thousand reptiles
{ were trailing their scaly bodies:
I Again, fixing his eyes upon a retired corner ????
the room, he shook with an unearthly shudder, as
if some new horror had greeted his vision. " What
do you see then- '" inquired his anxious and dis?
tressed wife.?" Two !*' lie whispered. " Two
what!" said I. "Two horrid, horrid fellowsV'
He shuddered convuLsively. ''Keep them away'"
said he faintly, after another half hour of anxious
silence;. Our hopeless task of beating the air was
resumed with u-ital success. " Take them away !"
be groaned, ".they,are coming!" I threw myself
into a posture of defence. He grew calm for a few
moments. Then, suddenly starting up, he clenchd d
: his ri-t-. raised them to his Hi:lit shoulderih boxing
attitude, glared fear and fury from ids bloodshot
eve-, howled in agony. " they come ' they r._,i/,<

[ the approaching phantoms, and fell back upon ids

ENGLISH 0 RT HOG RA P HY.
Mr. fawlcy: Your correspondent ?>.' has been
very liberal in bestowing praise on mc for what 1
have done in furnishing the means of instruction in
the English language. That his general view of
the subject i- just, there i- reason believe; and
it i- a source ofpleasure that I have been the hum?
ble instrument of good in one'department of learning.
Bin it abate- tins pleasure to find that much of
the good I have done i- to he lost, and that further
efforts, to amend and improve die language are \><
be unavailing. The tir-t thirty year.- after I began
to write for our yoiith, I bad ho opposer ot anycon?
sequence,and myimprGvcmeiits were received and
adopted. These have been die means of stamping
snme degree of uniformity on the pronunciation ?d
our language. This is visible in Coiisrcss. Tnnst "1
the member- lniviug received their elementary in
s true lion in my books.
But within the lust twenty years, I have bad
competitors, who have, brought into market dilier
ing systems, fortified witli English authorities:
Walker's DicUonary, containing ti variety "I use?
ful criticisms, tuxomtihnied with an obsolete or?
thography, and a multitude ot fashionable dandy?
isms, has been circulated in the United State-, and
trumpeted a- a -tan-laid of orthoepy ; and many
Spelling-Book-! on his plan have been published
and urged into schools. One-third of the State of
.\ow-Vork fell under Walkers influence, and a huge
part of that State and >>f the State of Massachusetts
are yet under that influence.
But a few vear- elapsed In lore W alker s scheme
of proiiuiiciation ua- assailed bt British writer-.
Hi- sound of short / ami y in eleven thousand syl?
lables u uscoudi mned,and Iii- ubilecJci, aspcreetec,
was decl.-uvd to be not merely wrung. but ludicrous.
After a lew year- another author condemned Iiis
j adjvlashun, his compenjeunt, and his ingrejent,
affirming such pronunciation,in a solemn discourse,
to be intolerable. The .-tune author condemned
Iiis nalshuriil, cangratshulution, and flalshulence ;
while a still |ut?r writer affirms it t.. bo vulgarity
and absurdity. Indeed, \Vt|lker's plcnclms for
plenteous, curchciix for courteous, und fr on che er
for fVontier, is no more genuine English tliau it i
the language of the Choc laws. Vet. probably a
hundred thousand children in this country tue yet
instructed in ')us pronunciation.
One id' the greatest obstacle- to tin- correction
of errors in our language procr.njs from the love
of custom, or fashion, or from the influence ol
British authorities. Tin* people of this country
are disposed in think the English understand the
language better than any American, My re
searches and my visit to England have shown ibis
to be a great mistake. Instead of being in ad?
vance of iis in philology, they are half a century
behind us; although on other subjects they, have
the advantage of us. But 1 Inwic that the Eng?
lish have not thoroughly investigated the origin
and history of their own language. In Etymofo.
gy, not only tlie. Engjis)) ami French, but the Ger?
mans are very far behind us. Tb,e great attention
to the modern sciences has, for half a ecntihy, ab?
sorbed all oih'T s|)bjects.
But the English have no: given to thefr language
the care and study which it-; importance has de?
manded. This language is to he used probably
by more people than any other language on the
globe, and is to he the principal instrument for
civilizing and evangelizing the world. In prepar?
ing lie- jgnguage to he this instrument, the labors
of the lexicographer are far more important than
the writings of a Scott or a So", it hey.
Vor how surprisingly has this language been
corrupted '? Without positive evidence bet?re our
eye-, who conlti belfeve'thaj the American Con?
gress, or an American Legislature should/make
such a blunder as to write Comptroller, when
they mean Controller, and continue the use ot
such nonsensical word- year after vear. ami age
after ago \
W ho. without the evidence of every common
Bild?', could believe that such abominable blun?
ders, :;s disannul and unloose would find a place
in nine pas-ages in that hunk?words expressing
u sense directly contrary ?<> udini is intended?
and continuing uncorrectcd foj more than three
hundred and twenty year.- .' And what is per?
haps more extraordinary, intelligent men now cla?
moring against ;my attempt to correct such out?
rageous mistakes !
Who could be!,eT,.- ;l;at handy-icork, a mere vul?
gar mistake for hand-work should disfigure the
common version of the sacred oracles, ami such
an intelligent nation as the English should blun?
der over the mistake for centuries, without disco?
vering the fact ?
Several other corruptions ot oar latigj-jage must
be omitted for the sukc of brevity, They qccut
in spelling hooks, in dictionaries, in grammars;
ami in the writings of the most distinguished
scholars. In one of the ablest productions of
the pre*cni age, I have recently seen the nonsen?
sical word ditannuli for annul, in five or -i\
passages.
And in England there seems t.>l?e not even the
beginning of a reformation. On the other hand
Richardson's dictionary retails the error- of the
old etymologists, many of which are as false as to
deduce tho word hail from the word honor, or sail
from salutation.
To crown the whole series of blunders, Mr.
Brando, the editor of the Dictionary of Science,
Literature and Art, now in the pros- in 1.on.ion,
assisted by nine, of the most learned men in L:ig
lnnd, deduces chemi.<'ry from a Coptic word sign!?
tying secret, ami then adds that probably allied
to this, i- the Germange~hriin, a compound of die
common prefix gc, with heim, which is the Saxon
ham and English home. Chemistry connected in
origin with home ' Such a. suggestion :s almost
incredible.
I du nut wish tu injure the ?die of Mr. Brande'??
work; it is a work of merit: but it is impor?
tant that my fellow citizens should be apprized,
how greatly they mistake English authorities in
philology;
In resisting the corruptions of our language,
correcting mistakes, and preserving its puritv, as
your correspondent has remarked, [stand alone;
I have pursued a cour>e of inquiry never pursued
by any other man, and in my most frirorcsting dis?
coveries, I have no support. But obr'tonx errors
ire understock Those in the versiou of the Bi?
ble and in the language generally. I have correct
od; und the emendations? are before the public,
resting for support on the foundation of truth.

The Genesee valleV^ r-o famous for the extent of its

gentle; its vallev often wide.and free from high,
precipitous and rocky shores, until it reach.-- the
northern town ?.f Portage, where, within the-pace
of two miles, it fads 27-1 feet. Here the hills ap?
proach the river closely, and are separated only by
i deep chasm, with perpendicidar bank- of alu
rnlnous -late -100 feet high, through which the river
passes bv three falls. From the head ><t the falls,
the descent to Rochester is about 736 feet; nearly

Ar-now rapidly stipersedintr-all other preparations for the
relief of Coughs (Tolds, .-Vstliina, W hoopuig Cough, Catarrh,
?ghuiess of the Chest, Bronchitis, and similar pulmonary
atlvctioiLs. It i- ii"*s' well establishetl that a large proportion
of casesof Consmnpuoiie.by which s? inany valuable lives
are aiimiallv -acriticed; owe their origin to the neglected
fohl- and C(*ugh.?, which might easily have bei n leinoyei!
at aii early period. N?> medicine will be found so erticatious
in curing such cases a.- thexj Ixizeuges. They infallibly
allay the ctiugh, by rf inoving the irritation which k?ep? it
tip. while at the saun- lime they promote expectoration, and
relieve congestion. D o - e .?'One Loienge is usually a d.-?.
for ail adult, which may be repeated live or s:\ times a day,
if required. Half of one to a child eight years old: a quar?
ter to one of tour; and ?o in projwrueiJ. Wljeii administered
to children, the most convenient way is to dissolve them in a
little w arm water. The diet should be light; and the bowels
kej.t regular; as the Lorienge? have a laxative effect, other
nieclicinc is sehioui required; but w hen cos?veness Ls pres
- iii. a few cathhrtic Lozenges will be found useful. If the
co igh is hara?ing lit night, two should be talo n at Ited-time
a.s a general rule, they should not he taken before breakfast,
btlt,it they are, half the usual do-e will be sufficient. If there

will be found to be perfectly sab-, will at diesame time never
fail, where worms are present, to destroy them.
