Love In ike Rain*
My love took shelter nnder the tree
From rain, the summer rain,
And I, by love made bold and free,
Took shelter with her in the lea
Of the wide, high-spreading chesnut tree,
And blessed the rain, the rain.
Quoth I, “Dost think the storm will pass?”
Quoth she, “ I’m but a silly lass."
Quoth I. “True love hath rainbow light.”
Quoth she, “ Most beautiful and bright.”
Quoth I, “ My love is hard to tell.”
Quoth she. “ Come close. I’ll listen well.”
O rain ! O rain !
0 blessed rain I
No sunshine e’er shall come again
So dear to me as that stormy rain!
Extraordinary Sympathy.
Here is something, says Millington’s Medical
Experience, that will please the ladies and as
t »nish the men ; the singular sympathies that
forewarn a future unison between the sexes have,
in some instances, been most surprising. The
following, which came under my knowledge, is
perhaps one of the most singular. Mr , a
brother officer of mine, was a man of taciturn
and retired habits, seldom frequented public
places of amusement, and when there felt any
thing but gratification. One evening after sup
per he was, however, prevailed on to go to a
ball. We had not been long in the room when
to my utter surprise, he expressed great admira
tion for a young lady who was dancing; and
what still more amazed us, he engaged her to
dance. Such an act of apparent levity on his
part, struck us as a singularity, which might
have been attributed to an unusual indulgence
at the table, had not the contrary been the case,
Tor TCruiu kably abstemioue. Tho dance
was scarcely over, when be came to me and told
me with a look of despondency, that his lovely
partner was a married woman. The tone of
sadness in which he addressed me was truly lu
dicrous. A few minutes after he left the ball
room. The strangeness of his conduct led me
to fear that his mind was not altogether in a
sound state ; but I was confirmed in my appre
hension when he told me, the following morn
ing, that he was convinced he should be mar
ried to the object of his admiration, whose hus
band was a young and healthy clergyman in the
neighborhood. Here matters rested, and we
both went abroad. We did not meet till three
years after, when, to my surprise, I found that
liis prediction had been verified. The lady’s
husband had died from a fall from his horse, and
the parties were married. But, what rendered
this circumstance still more strange is, that a
similar presentiment was experienced by the
young lady, who, on returning from the ball,
mentioned to her sister, with much emotion, that
she had danced with a stranger to whom she felt
convinced she was destined to be married. The
conviction embittered every moment of her life,
ns despite her most strenuous endeavors, she
could not dismiss the stranger from her thoughts,
reluctantly yielding to the hope of seeing him
again.
Captain Jo.— During Doniphan's march from
El Paso to Chihuahua, the black servants of the
different officers of the regiment formed them
selves into a company. There were twelve of
them, of which number eleven were officers, and
one high private. Jo , servant to Lieutenant
D , was elected Captain. He was the black
est of the crowd, and sported a large black fea
ther with a small black hat—also a large sabre,
with an immensely bright brass hilt—which
same sabre was eternally getting involved in the
intricate winding of his low legs. With Jo for
a Captain, they were a formidable body, and to
hear them talk thej' would work wonders. Dur
ing the battle of Sacramento, however, the
company were not to be seen, but after the ac
tion was over, they were espied breaking out
from the wagons aud joining in the pursuit.—
That evening one of our officers attacked Jo
about his company.
“ Well, Jo, 1 heard your men were hid behind
the wagons during the fight?”
“ Lieutenant. I’se berry sorry to say it am de
truf! J done every ting—l called on de patensm
ob de men—l injoked dem by all dey hold most
deah in dis world and de uex, but it was no go ;
dey would git on de wrong side ob de wagons.”
But what did you do there ?”

Blank Verse is the Pulpit. —The last thing
we should have fancied, says the London Athe
nccum, is to have heard within the pulpit echoes
of the form and fashion of Longfellow’s Hiawa
tha. In the fore part of the season down at
(then not crowded) Ramsgate, an acute dissect
ing preacher, to attract a numerous gathering,
advertised his fixed intention, twice (D. V.) on
the next Sunday, sermons twain then to de
liver, in majestic blank verse uttered. Aud he
did it. They who listened had a weary, weary
season ; season very weary had they, list’ning to
the man who did it—man obese, obese his wit
too. To describe we will not venture, how the
pump went onward working, at each lifting of
the handle, dribbling forth its stinted measure.
Very painful 'twas to hear it, very pleasant to
the speaker. Love was the all-graceful subject;
quite unlovely was the treatment. But 'twas
with a moral pointed—moral pointed very
sharply, sharply pointed to the pocket; and it
showed how if our bosoms glowed but with the
love he painted, we should prove it by a lib’ral
coming down at the collection !
Oaks in England. — The Parliamentary Oak,
in Clipston Park, is said to be 1,500 years old.
The park existed before the Conquest, and be
longs to the Duke of Portland. The tallest oak
was the same nobleman’s property ; it was call
ed the Duke’s walking stick, and was higher
than Westminster Abbey. The largest oak in
England is the Calthorpe oak, Yorkshire; it
measures 78 feet in circumference at the ground.
The Three Shire Oak at Workshop is called so
from forming parts of the counties of Notting
ham, Derby and York. This tree has the great
est expanse of any recorded in this island, droop
ing over 777 square yards. The most productive
oak was that of Gelenos, in Monmouthshire,
Jelled in 1810; the bark brought £2OO, and its
timber £670. In the mansion of Tredegar Park,
Monmouthshire, there is said to be a room, 42
fieet long and 27 feet broad, the floor and wain
scot of which were the production of a single
tree—an oak—grown on the estate.
A Louisiana Judge. —An overseer who had

he had been discharged without sufficient

The White Man’* Government.
Judge Douglas, in defining his position since
bis return to Illinois, took the occasion to say
that he considered the Constitution of the United
States a white man's government. It was for
saying this in effect, by Chief Justice Taney,
that the Dred Scot decision was so ferociously
assailed by the Black Republicans. But Chief
Justice Taney and Judge Douglas have said no
more on this subject than Chief Justice Daggett
pronounced to be good law in Connecticut a
quarter of a century ago. His (Chief Justice
Daggett's) language was : .
“ To rav mind it would be a perversion ot
terms and the well known rules of construction
to say that slaves, free blacks or Indians, were
citizens within the meaning of that term as used
in the Constitution.”
That opinion of the Chief Judge of our high
est Court has never been reversed. Indeed, so
far as the Supreme Court of Connecticut has
expressed any opinion, it is in harmany with
Judge Daggett’s. Chief Justice Williams, for a
majority of the Court, has since declared that—
“ Slaves cannot be said to be parties to that
compact, (the Constitution of Connecticut,) or
to be represented in it.”
And then further said—
“ So, too, when by another article in the Con
stitution, all colored person s are excluded from
the privileges of electors, it would seem as if all
colored persons were considered excluded from
the social compact.”
And if “ all colored persons” seem to be ex
cluded from the social compact by our State
Constitution, made in 1818, how can it be fairly
pretended that they are included in the social
compact of the United States Constitution,
adopted in 1786, and when the distinctions of
color were more marked.— Connecticut Paper,
A Georgia Railroad.—The railroad between
Kingston and Rome, in Georgia, if it is not a one
horse concern, is a mighty slow team. A friend
of mine, rejoicing in the name of Tick—a tele
graph man, too —was riding upon the lightning
train upon this road, when be spied a negro—
“ Toddling beside the iron track,
Toating cotton on his back.”
In the exuberent generosity of his nature, Tel
egraph Tick screamed out:
“ Halloa, Uncle, come aboard—come aboard
and ride to town I”
The polite and glistening African touched his
old beaver, and replied :
“ Beg pardon, raassa, but I must get dar soon,
and habn't got de lime to spar /”
“ It’s the cheapest road in the United States ;
you can travel on it all day for a dollar 1”
Going Up Under the Hoop.—The West Point
(Ga.) Citizen tells the following of a married man
at the commencement exercises of a certain col
lege in Georgia the past summer :
“ He started up the stairway at a swift pace,
not noticing any further until he came nearly to
the top of the steps, when he says a strange sen
sation came over him, and suddenly he found
himself enveloped in darkness, as though the
light had been extinguished. He was astonished
and bewildered. But the mystery was soon ex
plained, and it appeared that a lady, wearing a
very large hoop, had met him at the top of the
stairs, and was just in the act of descending,
when our friend, being a small man, had, with
out noticing, actually gone up under the hoop.
&ST-I was born in the valleys of the Green
Mountains, with the high mountains all around;
and I love the old hills and the green valleys
where I was born and where I played in my
childhood. I came away to this State, and went
back for the first time for twenty years, and they
treated me kindly and hospitably. There was
the commencement of the College ; they invited
me on the platform and conferred on me the
title of L. L. D., the same as they did on old
General Jackson when he went to a College
commencement. When they had given ray de
gree, they read it to me in Latin, and I give you
my honor that I understood just as much of
that Latin as Old Hickory did. [Laughter ]
When they got through that, they called for a
speech from me, and while my heart was swell
ing with gratitude and emotion as I looked oui
on the mountains and valleys, I told my friends
that Vermont was the most glorious spot on the
face of the earth to be born in, provided one
emigrates when he is very young. [Roars of
laughter.]— From Douglas' Speech “ down in

There are many Methodists near Whitby,
and their hymns must be curious, to judge from '

And on the Rock of Ages laid ;
The rails are fixed in chairs of love,
Firm as the throne of God above.

In the year 1700 ten clergymen met at
Branford, each one bunging a few books under
his arm. Placing these on the table in Parson
Russell’s study, each said solemnly : “ I give
these books for the founding of a College in this
Colony.” A cculury and a half have gone by.

BSf The Detroit Board of Education have
adopted as a device for their seal, a handsome
young school mistress, with a thriving urchin
across her lap. The left band is uplifted, hav
ing a stout leather strap in the act of descending
upon the youth, whose mouth is wide open, and
from which issues the motto : “ Strike, but hear
me !” This almost equals the waggery of the
man in Maine, who wrote over the door where
a teachers' convention was in session, the words,
“ New England Whaling Association.”
Jesf Nearly a hundred years ago, Voltaire
resided at Geneva. One day, he said to some

words were spoken, what think yon there is to

The Jew*.
The New York Express has the following- -Jt
Hidden away, as it were, behind the gre !
mass of our Christian inhabitants, there is a V(
large population of Jews ; people, shut up,
most in themselves, preserving their dwh
toms, practising their own sublime and^ r '
religion, and keeping up quietly, but faitbfnlly
tbe ceremonies and traditions that have corns
down to them from their forefathers. Observing)
their Sabbath, when all the rest of our populad
tion is busily engaged in traffic and business, tha|
Jews have but few Christians ns visitors to theiri
places of worship ; and the synagogues remain-l
ing closed on Sunday, when people so disposed;
usually investigate the religious ceremonies of
their neighbors, but a small portion of our citi
zens comparatively know anything about the
very interesting Jewish ceremonial law and prac-,
ticcs.
The number of Jews in the United States ex
ceeds a quarter of a million, and in the State of
New York there are about forty thousand, of
whom nearly seven-eights reside in the Empire
City. This estimate is arrived at not by any
census—the taking of which is forbidden by the
Jewish law—but by the amount of unleavened
bread consumed at the season of the Passover.
At that time, for one week, no Jew is permitted
to cat leavened bread. The Passover bread is
baked in large public ovens, and is dealt out to
all applying at the rate of five pounds to every
man, woman and child. By the law they are all
obliged to eat it, and we understand that but
very few—perhaps not five hundred in the whole
country—neglect to fulfill their obligations in
this particular. Therefore, by the amount of
Passover bread consumed it is very easy to com
pute the number of the faithful children of Is
rael in this country.
In New York city, the Jews possess twenty
synagogues, besides one in Williamsbnrgh, and
one in Brooklyn. Several of these synagogues,
for size and architectural beauty, will bear com
parison with the churches of the Christian de
nominations. The principal ones are situated
in Crosby, Green, Norfolk, Wooster, Clinton and
East Twelfth street. In West Twenty-eighth
street there is a large and well-conducted Jew
ish Hospital, and ably taught schools are at
tached to several of the synagogues.
The Virtue or Faith in the Horn of Peru,.
—A Philadelphia paper gives the following
thrilling instance of faith :
A clergyman in this city read a letter at one
of the Sansome street noonday prayer meetings
this week from a young man of his acquaint
ance who was on board the ill-fated Austria, in
which he detailed the last Interview between
himself and five Christian comrades who per
ished beneath the waves. As soon as the de
struction of the vessel was found inevitable,
these six young men took a position between
the flames and the water, with the understand
ing that at the last moment they would unitedly
consign themselves to the latter. In the bare
moment thus allowed to contemplate their fate,
their hope in Christ was confidently expressed,
and when to escape the spreading fire their leap
became necessary they fondly grasped each
other s hand, and with a parting “ far •well. ’
and an expressed confidence that in “ a few
moments they would meet in heaven,” they
Sprang into the sen. The writer of the ielttr
states that after sustaining himself in the water
by means of a life preserver for four hours,
(during which time his contemplations of a fu
ture state ripened into ajoy in believing in his
Savior such as he had never before experienced,)
a vessel, hove in sight for his release ; so that
just at the moment when his exhausted ener
gies brought the open door of heaven more
temptingly to view he was made the subject of
an earthly rescue. The reading of the letter
referred to, elicited an outburst of feeling all
over the room.
, One of the most curious sights in Paris
is said to be afforded by a visit to the vast atelier
of M. Bourguignon, where the whole process of
transforming a few grains of dirty, heavy-look
ing sand into a diamond of the purest water is
daily going on with the avowed purpose of de
ceiving everybody but the buyer. The sand
employed, and upon which everything depends,
is found in the forests of Fontainbleau, and en
joys so great a reputation in the trade that large
quantities are exported. The coloring matter
for imitating emeralds, rubies and sapphires is
entirely mineral, and has been brought to high
perfection by M. Bourguignon. Many operators
are employed whose business it is to polish the
colored stones and line the false pearls with fish
scales (and wax; the scales of the roach and
dade are chiefly employed for this purpose
They must be stripped from the fish while liv
ing, or the glistening hue so much admired in
the real pearl cannot be imitated.

tion in all the States of the Union. It is not, as
some might suppose from its title, a dry abstruse
work on technical science; on the contrary, it
so deals with the great events going on in the
scientific, mechanical and industrial worlds, as
to please and instrnct every one. If the Me
chanic or Artisan wishes to know the best ma
chine in use, or how to make any substance em
ployed in his business—if the Uousewife wishes
to got a recipe for making a good color, &c., —
if the Inventor wishes to know what is going on
in the way of improvements—if the Manufac
turer wishes to keep posted with the times, and
to employ the best facilities in bis business—if
the Man of Leisure and Study wishes to keep
himself familiar with the progress made in the
chemical laboratory, or in the construction of
telegraphs, steamships, railroads, reapers, mow
ers, and a thousand other machines and appli
ances, both of peace and war—all these desider

VDOLPIIO WOLFE’S
SCHNAPPS.
AM EDICINAL DRINK, of eminently salutary
qualities, manufactured by liimself exclu
sively, at bis factory at Schiedam, in Holland,
and well known during the last twelve years
throughout all the Atlantic and Western States.
It is made from the best barley that can be
selected in Europe, with the essence of an aro
matic Italian berry, of acknowledged and ex
traordinary medicinal properties. It has long
since acquired a higher reputation, both in
Europe and America, than any other diuretic
beverages.
Analyzed, it is a perfectly pure Liquor, in its
effects a mild and wholesome tonic. It is ex
tensively used and approved by the medical fac
ulty, the temperance people, beads of families,
&c.
In Gravel, Gout and Rheumatism, in obstruc
tions of the Bladder and Kidneys, and in Gen
eral Debility, its effects are prompt, decided and
invariably reliable; and it is not only a remedy
for these maladies, but in all cases where they
are produced by drinking bad water, which is
almost universally the cause of them, it acts as
a sure preventive.
For Fever and Ague it is one of the most ef
ficacious preventives that can be resorted to.
The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps
Is consequently in great demand by persons
travelling, or about to settle in new parts of the
country especially, as well as by many in every
community, where it has become known, on
account of its various other remedial properties.
In all cases of a Dropsical tendency, it is gen
erally the only remedy required, when adopted
in the early stage of the disease.
In dyspepsia maladies, when taken in proper
quantities, as a diet drink, and especially at
dinner, it is found, by uniform experience, to be
eminently efficacious in the most obstinate cases,
when even the best of the usual remedies have
failed to afford more than temporary relief. In
cases of Flatulency, it is an immediate and in
variable specific, and it may be administered in
diluted and proportionate quantities, even to
Young Infants, in all those paroxysms of grip
ing pain in the stomach and bowels to which
they are especially subject, as well as in the
colic of grown persons.
Its judicious adoption in connection with the
principal meals, or when a sense of exhaustion
dictates its use, never fails to relieve the debili
ty attendant upon protracted chronic maladies,
low temperament and exhausted vital energy, by
whatever cause induced. These are facts to
which many of the most eminent medical men,
both in England and the United States, have
borne testimony, and which are corroborated by
the highest written authorities.

TO THE AFFLICTED.—Dr. L. J. Czapkay
returns his sincere thanks to his numerous
patients for their patronage, and would take
this opportunity to remind them that he con
tinues to consult at his Institute for the cure of
chronic diseases of the Lungs, Liver, Kidneys,
digestive and genital organs, and all private
diseases, viz : syphilitic ulcers, gonorrhoea,
gleet, strictures, seminal weakness and all the
horrid consequences of seif-abuse, and he hopes
that his tong experience and successful practice
of many years will continue to ensure him a
share of public patronage. By the practice of
many years in Europe and the United States,
and during the Hungarian war and campaigns,
he is enabled to apply the most efficient and
successful remedies against diseases of all kinds.
He uses no mercury—charges moderate—treats
his patients in a correct and honorable way—
has references of unquestionable veracity from
men of known respectability and high standing
in society. All parties consulting him, by let
ter or otherwise, will receive the best and' gen
fJwe tramlmtat, And iinyitieitiecxcev. .
SUFFER NOT WHEN A CURE IS GUAK
antecd in all stages of Secret Disease.
Self-abuse, Nervous Debility, Syphilis jn all its
stages, Strictures, Gleets, Gravel, Diabetes,
Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, .Mercu
rial Rheumatism, Scrofula, Pains in the Bones
and Ankles, Diseases of the Lungs, Throat,
Nose and Eyes, Ulcers upon the Body or
Limbs. Cancers, Dropsy, Epileptic Fits,St.Vi
tus’s Dance, and other Diseases arising from
a derangement of the Sexual Organs,
Such as Nervous Trembling, Loss of Memory,
Loss of Power, General Weakness, Dimness of
Vision, with peculiar spots appearing before the
eyes, Loss of Sight, Wakefulness, Dyspepsia,
Liver Disease, Eruption upon the Face, Pain in
the Back and Head, Female Irregularities, and
all improper discharges of both sexes. It mat
ters not from what cause tlic disease originated,
however long standing or obstinate the case,
RECO\ERY IS CERTAIN. , and in a shorter
time than a permanent cure can be effected by
any other treatment, even after the disease has
baffled the skill of eminent physicians, and re
sisted all their means of cure. The medicines
prescribed are pleasant, without odor, entirely
vegetable, causing no sickness, and free from
mercury or balsam. During fifteen years of
practice, in Europe, the Atlantic States and Cal
ifornia, I have rescued from the jaws of death
many thousands, who, in the last stages of the
above mentioned diseases, had been given up to
die by their physicians, which warrants me in
promising to the afflicted, who may place them
selves under my care, a perfect and speedy cure.
Private diseases are the greatest enemies to
health, as they are the first cause of Consump
tion, Scrofula, and many other diseases, and
should be a terror to the human family. A per
manent cure is scarcely ever effected, a majority
of the cases falling into the hands of incompe
tent persons, who not only fail to cure the dis
ease, but rum the constitution, filling the system
with mercury, which, with the disease, hastens
the sufferer into a rapid Consumption.
But should the disease and the treatment not
cause death speedily, and the victim marries, the
disease is entailed upon the children, who arc
born with feeble constitutions, and the current
of life corrupted by a virus which betrays itself
in scrofula, tetter, ulcers, eruptions, and other
affections of the skin, eye®, threat and hmgs, en
tailing upon them a brief existence of suffering,
and consigning them to an early grave.
SELF-ABUSE is another formidable enemy
to health, for nothing else in the dread cam
logue of human diseases causes so destructive a
drain upon the system, drawing its thousands of
victims through a few years of suffering down
to an untimely grave. It destroys live nervous
system, rapidly wastes away thecnergies of life,
causes mental derangement, pi events the proper
development of the system, disqualifies for mar
riage, society, business, and all earthly happi
ness, and leaves the sufferer wrecked in body
and mind, predisposed to consumption and a
train of evils more to be dreaded than death it
self. With the fullest confidence I assure the
unfortunate victims of Self-abuse that a perma
nent and speedy core can be effected, and with
the abandonment of ruinous practices, my pa
tients can be restored to robust, vigorous
health.
Irregularities and all diseases of males and
females treated on principles established by fif
teen years of practice and sanctioned by thou
sands of the most remarkable cures. Medicines
with full directions, sent to any part of the State,
Oregon and Washington Territories, by patients
communicating their symptoms by letter. Busi
ness correspondence strictly confidential.
