MY MOTHER.
Mprsaintcd mother ! thou hast bade
Phis earth a long good night;
And changed thy garb of sadness hero
For one of fadeless light!
Imagination often brings
Thy features mild and fair ;
But beautiful as they were once,
How lorclier in yon sphere!
The flowers have bloom’d and died full oft.
As leaves upon the tree ;
And many suns have rose and set,
Since thou wert last with me ;
But still I can indulge the thought
That thou art near me yet,
To^husb the murmur on my lips,
To calm iny vain regret!
Sweet mother ! I remember well
How in thy doatingjoy,
Thou wouldst enfoid inc to thy breast,
And bless thy little boy ;
And o’er my cheek would softly fall
Tears of maternal love,
And on the bud untimely chill’d
The dew floats from above.
And I remember, too, when oft
Within thine arms I lay ;
I sobb’d the pray’r that Death would first
Take me, thy child, away !
I wept to think of losing thee.
And sooner would have gone
To rest beneath the churchyard tree,
Than be an orphan lone !
And thou wouldst soothe me, blessed one,
With gentle word and look,
Until the torrent of my grief
Became a rippling brook ;
And then thou liadst some holy hymn
To lull me to repose;
Until the tears would leave mine eyes,
And sleep their lids would close !
wiico ine nour ol Rickncsa came,
Thy ministering hand
Would kindle up anew the flame
That smoulder’d on the brand.
And then a heav’nly smile would come
Upon thy care-worn brow,
And thou wouldat mark with watchful glance
The spreading of the bough !
But ere the branch, like hope, had borne
Its trembling leaves of green,
A veil was o’er its freshness thrown,
A shadow went between !
My mother ! thou wort call’d above—
To death thy form was given ;
But thy meek spirit soar’d on high,
To rest its wings in heav’n !
From the N. Y. Tribune.
CURATIVE EFFECTS OF MESMER
ISM.
A young lady of Ohio, about 18 years of age,
who has been for soma time at school at HartfoTd,
Conn., received an injury in the lower part of her
spine, in November last, from a fall, which ren
dered her unable to bear even the slightest ele
vation toward an erect position, and kept her in
continual pain. She was attended by the most
skillful physicians without benefit, but at length,
under the advice of a physician of this city.'she
was placed on a bed constructed for the purpose,
and brought here by railroad and steamboat, with
the view of trying the effects of mesmeric treat
ment under his direction. She arrived here on
the 3d inst. accompanied by her brother-in-law,
and sister and put up at Judsou’s Hotel, Broad
way. I he following evening the physician in
troduced Mr. Oltz, a distinguished magnetizer,
and recommended him to make the proper mes
meric passes along the spine for the purpose of
allaying tho high nervous excitement under
■which she was laboring, and which had continued
without intermission, from the time of the acci
dent. The passes were quite effectual, and that
night she enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep
which she had not obtained for the previous five
months.
1 he next mornings tho magnetizer, by means
of the mesmeric passes alone, gradually raised
her to an erect position, in which she remained
about a minute. In the evening, he operated
again, and she was again enabled to sit erect.
The doctor then directed him to raise her upon
her feet, which he did with a few passes; and,
supported by the magnetizer and the physician,
she found herself able to walk several times
across the room. After resting about fifteen min
utes in an easy chair, where her expressions of
wonder and gratitude were deeply fervent and
afTecting, she repeated her walk around and
-across the room, and retiring full of joy and hope
again passed the night in tranquil sleep.
On the following morning, the mesmeric pasees
proved so effectual that she was considered suffi
ciently restored to undertake a journey to Phila
delphia, that afternoon, on her way to her family
in Ohio. Mr. Oltz accompanied her to the depot
in Jersoy City, and having senteu her comforta
bly in the car, and stowed her away previous trav
elling couch upon the top, transferred her mes
meric power over her to her brother-in-law,and saw
her start on her unexpected jonrney. The follow
ing are extracts of a letter from the sister who ac
companied her, to her physician in this city, da
ted Harrisburg, Penn., April 13th, 1846:
“ I fe*r neglecting to write from Philadel-!
phia will lead you to think we do not appreciate
the kind interest you took in sister’s case. Be
assured we do and evor shall remember you with
gratitude. * * * Our kind friend Mr. Oltz
(to whom you will please remember us) doubtless
told you how well we succeeded in getting to the
cars. Mr. B. was able to continue the influence
to auch a degree as to keep her very easy for
about two hours, when, owing to some relaxation
of effort she became sick at the stomach. We
gave her the little globules [Ipecsctianna] which
soon relieved that, and when, notwithstanding
the noise and motion of the cars, Mr. B_suc
ceeded in putting her into a sounder sleep than
ever she had been in before and she awoke from
it quite refreshed. For two days after our arri
val in Philadelphia she felt too weary for exer
tion ; but on the third night, after being magne
tized, she sat up for more than two hours'and
walked about the room for nearly an hour; she
slept well that night, and was next day quite
comfortable. We left Philadelphia at half past
seven in the morning, and rode nine hours over
the roughest Railroad in the country, but under
tho magic influence she was kept quietly asleep
most of the time. She feels much fatigued and
sore to day, hot is in good spirits at the idea o?
starting and the comparative ease with which lb.
Test of the journey will he performed.”
Serious IIobberv.—The Brooklyn Star state
that a woman, supposed to be deranged, made i
orcible entry into the cabin of the sloop Sarah
Y^eonard, lying near the Gowanus bridge, and bi
means of some implement broke open the desk o
Capt. Oliver Bloodgood, and took away a pocke
book containing 82,000 worth of money and pa
pars. She was arrested on Monday evening bi
offioer Haynes, and by him lodged in tho countj

The patent galvanic rings, &
MAGNETIC FLUID.—This remarkable dis
covery has received the universal approbation of
the Medical Profession of Great Britain, and has
been sufficiently long before llieAmcrican public
to give a fair trial of its power and efficacy. The
I'LNT GALVANIC RINGS avc been found to
answer all the purposes for which ordinary Galvan
ic Battery or Electric and Magnetic Machines are
used, but are without any of the injurious shocks
which accompany the applications by those instru
ments, and in many other respects arc more safe
and certain in accomplishing the desired object.
The Galvanic Rings have been used with perfect
success in all cases of Rheumatism, acute or chron
ic, applying to the head, face or limbs ; Gout,Tic
Doloreux, Toothache, Bronchitis, Vertigo, Nervous
or Sick Headache, Indigestion, Paralysis, Palsy,
Epilepsy, Fits, Cramp, Palpitation of the Heart,
Apoplexy, Stiffncssof Joints, Lumbago. Neuralgia,
General Debility, Deficiency of Nervous Energy,
and all Nervous Disorders. In cases of confirmed
Dyspepsia they have been successful. Their extra
ordinary effects upon the system must be witnessed
to be believed; and as a certain preventive for
the above complaints they are equally to he recom
mended. The Galvanic Rings are in every way
perfectly harmless, and are sold at prices to be
within the reach of all. Cristie’s Magnetic Fluid
is used in connection with the Rings, to render
their efficient action certain, and to direct the Gal
vanic influence to the particular portions which arc
affected.
For numerous certificates of the highest charac
ter regarding the efficacy of the Galvanic Rings
and Magnetic Fluid, reference is made to former
advertisements, or they may be seen at the office.

1) BRATED MIXTURE. —The most safe I
and speedy remedy ever discovered for the euro of
the Secret Diseases.
In Europe this medicine has long enjoyed the
reputation of curing all these troublesome com
plaints, subject to man, and in this country no in
stance of its failure has ever been known wherever
it has been introduced, provided the patient strict
ly adhere to the directions given.
It possesses however what may be justly'called a
specific power in most constitutions, especially
when administered in the early and acute form of
the disease. It moderates the inflamatory symp
toms in a shorter time, and with more certainty
than the majority of the nauseating nostrums now
olfcred to the public.
A preparation, therefore like the present one and
possessing such medical properties, must, when its
virtues are found out, prove the great dosidcraturn
sought for, and from the general puccess attending
its use, must command a large and extensive cir
culation. Prepared and sold only by
