o(pH over the assembly. He was a dabbler
in real estate, which I presume accountelor the
ancleaDnees of hie hands. Ho was a aoctcr
Irishman.
"Ladies and gintlemin," said the doctor,
helping himeelf to a cupful! of brandy and wa
ter out of a private tea pot: "The spiritof Nicho
las is forenint yes." '
Scarcely bad he uttered these words when a
nedium in the city of New York began tugging
at me.
"Will the Emp'rer of Rooehia please to ap
pear ?"
Oood gracious ! I exclaimed, as I whistled
across Ohio, am I doomed to be the shuttle-cock
o American mediums ? Will no merciful pow
er intervene to stop this ?
Bang 1 I came flat against some obstacle that
laid me upon my spiritual back.
"What is that V said I, rising in great dud
geon at this attack. o
"It is the confines of the State of New York,
replied a still dirtier man than the real estate
doctor. I examined the figure of the Janitor of
New York. Hi's name was Horace Greeley.
He stood at the entrance of the State like the
angel at the door of paradise, and in his right
band he waved a newspaper twisted into the
form of a bludgeon. But he bore no other re
semblance to the angel aforesaid his voice being
more like that of the serpent, for at every mo
ment he would open his mouth, and hiss at me,
just in this manner, "Ism 1 ism ! ism !"
He was constantly invoking "water indeed
he seemed as fond of it as the rich man in hell.
But I presume from Mr. Greeley's appearance
he wanted it for a different purpose.
"Who are you?" said he. 'Ism! ism!"
"I am the spirit" I was commencing.
"A vaunt." he roared, "away ; ism ! iem !
There are no spirits allowed in this State now.
Iem 1 ism ! ism 1 Begone I ism !"
I would have explained to him that I did not
come under the prohibition of the liquur law,
but he was so angry that he would listen to
nothing, but drew from his pocket a large blow
pipe, and commenced peppering me with a
quantity of nasty articles, which it appears he
keeps prepared in his mouth to bespatter his
opponents. I was obliged to retreat from the
presence of this tribune of the people.
I was scarcely out of smell of this person,
when I found myself once more assaulted by
the mediums. They came from all the States
in the Union. Voices came out of Pennsylva
nia and Texac, commands from Connecticut, en
treaties from Alabama. I was bewildered torn
hither, dragged thither.
"Good heavens 1" I exclaimed, and they call
the grave a place of rest. I have not had a mo-
ment's peace since I have been dead.
At last I grew desperate, and I allowed these
contending powers to act upon me from different
directions, until bv opposing each other they
actuallyeftabli'hedmyequilibrium.andbruught
roe to a centre of their antagonistic system.
This spot happened to be the city of New Or
gans, und thus you perceive how I have come
,-o seek a refuge in this hospitable city. It ia
the mere dear to me as it reminds tr.e of my

I told him that I was quite ignorant of this
extraordinary machine, and I begged him to
explain it. lie did so with the greatest kind

" Iffeu are aware," be began, " that the earth

" Oh !" I exclaimed, here I must stop you.
I assure you that I never saw or even heard of

" That is prejudice," tiaid he, -'mere Euro

yourself to think that you did not draw your

THE DISCLOSURE.
The secret of Russian policy is a simple
question of geography. Russia, with a swell
ioe trade and population, cooped up like a child
in a womb, lmpassame aeseris no wu u
eastern portion. Europe blocks her in on the
west. Lapland denies all egress on the north.
A few years ago we took Finland trom tne
Swede, and obtained a few miles of seacoast on
the Baltic. We then took Bessarabia and tDe
Crimea from the Turks, and gained a few miles
of seacoast on the Black Sea. But the child
still grew, and the birth of Russia into the ci
vilized world must come ; tor no nauuu c
live that has not a maritime frontier in pro
portion to its produce. The Black Sea is a
lake, of which Turkey holds supreme control
bv holding its only outlet at Constantinople.

De
came to the throne and I felt the land in labor,
flanked around and I perceived toe Caucasus,
one little outlet iuto Asia Minor. 1 thought
that if I could obtain Asia Minor, and perhaps
Syria, by purchase or porsuaeion trom luraey,
I wouid not only gain a Mediterranean seaboard,
but also I could make Jerusalem a Russian city.
My people are ardent Christains, and th pos
session of Jerusalem, which is utterly worthless
to all the rest of the world, would be priceless
to me. 1 failed to eubduo tho Cironediauf who
held the Caucasian range. . I devoted to death
the flower of my troops, but I could never pierce
an exit iuto Asia through these iron tribes.
Still tho child grew, and at length the momeot
ouoio when no human power could restrain the
pressure from witmn. I was compelled to head
ifce movement, and conduct an outbteak I could
a&t repress. I addressed tho reigning powers
of Europe-. I showed them that Russia must
ocssess a seacoast, and it was unnatural two

Dardanelles and the CategaL Nay, in the sa
cred interest of peace, 1 would have exchanged
same portion ot my beloved Russia tor the rug
ged coast of Norway andnow useless.infructious
ports of Turkey and Greece. But all overtures
were refused, and the fingers of England and
France sternly pointed to the treaty of Vienna, by
which we agreed forty years ago to preserve
thfl present outlines of the map of Europe.
Heaven preserve us from infringing Russian
honor as pledged in a treaty, but is there a
conclave superior to that of Vienna. Do God,
providence and nature constantly look back to
that document, and so govern men and things
that the course of the world shall not interfere
with the pledged word of those kings our fa
thers. Shall some nations dwindle into their
graves, and shall their bodies, diplomatically
preserved, inhabit the sacred limits of their
lands, while a neighboring people, bursting
with vigor and growth, urged on by nature,
and following the outstretched band of God.
dare not obey his direction because some dead
monareha have said to our generation, "Ihue
far shalt thou go, and no further."
I know nof whether the Armies of Russia
will prevail in this oenteet. But there is no :
army can defeat the ways of Providence, nor i
can stop ner in ner pain, one wie;us me i
scythe of time, and takes off a generation at j
one sweep. 1 know not how Russia will gain j
her end, but the child will be born. It may be j
that a terrible revolution will strike all Europe, I
disintegrate her kingdoms, and the people will j
subside into other forms, organized at firet only I
by their languages.
But the great hour is at hand. The astute
Briton has delayed action, that ail Europe
might bind itself togpther against Russia. Let
the world roll on. The end must come. Let
the Allied troops gn.in victory upon victory.
Tbey will end like Napoleon ; they will die of
their own power, when they oppose it to be the
will of Providence.
The child must be born. England has lived
her life. France has obtained a renowned old
age.
There are two children of the world, twins,
who will, iu the history of the globe, represent
the two great hemispheres, east and west, and
their names are Russia and America.
A SINGULAR DREAM.

frame, not, however, particularly nlat.-d.

intense watchfulness ; very pulse seotaed sus
pended, and ev.-ry heart-thrcb muffled, while
the eye stood fixed on a particular Dot near the
head of the bed, where, through a small aper
ture not noticed before, w&s a human hand,
grasping a short, keen instrument, looking ter
ribly like a dagger. It apparently sought the
head of the bed ; for as it touched the pillow it
passed itself slowly down to about the suppos
ed region of the heart, and poised itself for a
second, as if to make sure itg game. That se
cond was sufficient for the brother to rise noise
less! from his seat, and draw his bowie knife
trom his belt, anu advance a single step towards
the bed. Just as the dagger descended into the
bjankets, the kuite ot the brother came down
liKa meat-axe close to the aperture, compiet
ly severing the hand of the would be assassin
above the wrist, and causing the dagger and
limb to fall on the bed, tropmea of his victory.
A deep, prolonged yell sounded from without,
and, on rushing to the aperture, and convincing
himself that thore was but one, the brother un
bolted the door and stepped out. The moon
was shining, and by its light was diacovsred a
man writhing as if in th? last agonies. The mi
ner drew the body near the door, and turning
his face to the hrc, beheld the visage of a Mex
ican, who, for some fancied injury, had sworn
to never rest content until he had taken .bis
(the brother's) life. On examining the man
closely, he was discovered to have a wound in
the vicinity of ihe heart, which a long, sharp
two-edged blade in his hand abundantly accoun
ted for. Failing in the attempt to assassinate
his victim, he had with his only remaining hand
driven another knife to his own heart.
The lady awoke, and, vividly impressed with
the dream, related its substance, aa here re cor
ded. to her husband. Judge then of her and
hia surprise, wheu they yesterday received a let
ter from California, per tiiS North Star, from
the brother, relating an adventure, the night
of December 6, precisely identical with that seen
by the lady in her dream.

WHAT THE DOCTOR HAS ,
t . THE 8CICIDR. . S ;V J
v Years ago, 'oat. in the centralparti" of
State of New York, in a district buj sparsely
settled at that time, through which passed a
great high-road leading "to the westward," an
emigrant nxed upon a local naDiiawou.
The dwellers inlhat humble tenement, built
of nnhewed logs, were two; and they were
young in life and hope, and young in that
blessed relation which made them' one-' in flesh
and heart.
There were many broad .acres within the en
closure around that unpretending dwelling, and
tbey were of good soil, and the hardy hosband
man reaped bis reward from them; from year
to year.
The winter fire blazed briskly on the ample
hearth, the moon ran high, and the night air
was keen and brisk without, as the two sat side
by side talking over their future plans, as it
was ever their wont to do. The wife drew near
er to her husband's chair, as though the bond
between them was growing stronger. Her
words were uttered in a lower tone, as though
the night might hold mysterious strangers who
would catch the sound of her voice, as she re
vealed to him the pent up thoughts which had
of late occuoied her mimd, and grown daily to
be regarded more and more in the light of a
certainty that her fondest hopes would ere long
be realized. "We have lived," she saia, "anu
striven together, and we have prospered, and
bow happy shall we be when Providence has
granted us a richer reward in one to .row up
ani share these blessings with ua ! Oh I the
delight that was kindled upon that coyish wo-
inau s radiant face as sue talked to him Destue
licr. in whisners. of beins a mother. True
wert thou a woman to thy nature, to thy bus
b ind, and thy country ; and for this thou wert
aoove all price priceless. "
Seed-time and harvest come and went for six
teen years, and the husbandman's storehouse
grew more and more corpulent with the products
of each season s labors, and be was lorehanaea
The humble tenement of unhewn logs had pas
8 jd away, and on its site a more stately etruc
tare had been erected.
The wife who had helped to plan that house
hold, had also ceased to be ; and in her steaa
there was one far more stately, more youthtul,
and more beautiful, but more in all else unlike
the mother. Tne happinessof that husbandman
had also passed away. With no one now to
talk and to i. Ian with him at eventide, he was
alone. He had a daughter, a full grown wo
man, it is true the one that he and the wife
had built their hopes upon ; but she was a gay
and thoughtless e'lrl, and could in no wise till
the place of her who had left him upon life's
iourtev alone.
A tew more years had passed away in tne
course of time, and the home that had been
b jilt up in the hopes and energy of young lite
bad passed from his hands, and the father and
the daughter were in this city. The one was
sad ier aud more lonely Btill ; the other was gay
er and more thoughtless than even before. The
pasbion of avarice, which grows with age, seiz
ed upon the one, in the absence of any stimulus
to a better feeling ; while the excitement ol glit
triig pomp and show fed the impulse of tne urir -fleeting
heart that knew little of the world and
lie.
The father and the daughter grew more and
caore unloving and there was little sympathy
between them, and they were separated. Far
hence, upon" the golden shore, he sought to
drown his sorrows in feeding the only remain
ing impulse to action.
A few more years had passed onward, and the
daughter had become a wife.
Twilight came of a summer's evening and the
hu-band had returned trom the business cares
of the day to his household and his wife. The
cVht grew dark upon them as tbev sat apart,
fr the bond between them was breaking fast.
The night was warm and fair, and the soft air
came floating in the lattice as gently as the
breattiing ot a sleeping babe ; but not so the
hearts of that husband and wife, for they beat
j coldly, and their breathing broke upon their
j litis in bitter words.
In extenuation, let it be said, the wife was
j beautif ul even in anger, and the flashing light
ning trom ner eye was irom a wnaness mat was
all unnatural. The husband was the mildest of
tiie two. It ia not strange that woman should
look forward with dread upon the days of her
travail and the hour of her peril: but it is all
unnatural that eh should make this the occa
sion to break the bond between her and the bus
band.
The season had changed from summer to win
t r, and, late at night, the doctor sat alone all
unconscious of what be has here written; for
this tale was untold then. The sound of a gun
fcil upon his ear, from which he knew that a
H'.nner from some distant shore was coming up j
ttie harbor. His thoughts turned naturally up- j
on lie joyous hearts of those upon that fteamtr I
wno were returning homo. Little did he think
tint upon that good ship's bow there stood a
t'j, past middle lite, returning laden with the
uiucuot ot th
galdau laud, and in whose heart
""t nnu luv
waa kiuuieJ alresh the joyous hope of soon
seeing again bis only child: little did he think
that within coy hour he would iu;et that man
Ejoi- sorrowful than ever before.
"Doctor, come quickly 1" I knew the voice,

v.hs dark aud cold, and the rumbiing omnibuses
w. ;o v, vi; nigh stilled, for the baud of that
sU-ady old monitor of fleeting time upon the
City Hall was just turning lhe point between
t-day and to-morrow. My companion was as
cold, aud cheerless, and silent, as the night.
N :t a wu-d was spoken by either of us as we
passed hastily along the street. There are
tiiii'-o when words are out of place meaning
Iocs, empty sounds : then actions s.nenlc with a
' terriUe force, aud silence sends a thrill through

the heart that has no language to give it utter
(avp. I knew that something had occurred,
end could only conjecture that life was at stake ;
but who, or where, I did not know. I thought
of those who encircled the hearthstone with him
who was urging me onward faster and faster
r.nd faster by rapid strides ; but of them I knew
none ill. 1 was about Wreaking this silence by
nn enquiry aa to the nature of the "case" upon
which I was called, in order to be the better
prepared, when he mounted the steps, and
turning the night latch, we were immediately
within the dwelling that encompassed the mys
tery. Tarrying not lo throw off an outer gar-
j ment, 1 followed his hasty footsteps up a flight
c'f stairs, and as he put one hand upon the door
i knob, the other was raised as a token for si-
i Innce, and his eye for the first time was turned
; direciiy upon mine. Not a whisper broke the
j stillness of that moment, but hia frame quiver
led under the effect of some terrible emotion.
Loosening his hand from the door, he stepped
back, end motioned me-to precede him. I en
tered the apartment, and stepping to the bed
side looked upon the wife. She lay with her
head upon the pillow, where it had often lain
before, but pale, and fair, and beautiful she
had turned the point between time and eternity.
The b li rang U-.m the street door, and its sound
was a relief in breaking tho stillness of that
death-silence which no one seemed inclined to
hrsak by parting lips or moving tongue. Soon
the sound of hasty footsteps was heard upon
the staircase, and the door opened, and in a
moment more, the father and the husband stood
looking upon her who had been a child to the
one, and a wife to the other, but who, by her
own hand, in a moment of phrenzy, had left
them in soriow, rather than be a mother.
Bachelor's Paradise. If the following from
the Danville (Va.) Republican is true, Danville
mu?! be a perfect elysium for old bachelors:
' The clerk cf the Hustings Court informs us
that during the year just ended not a single
marriage license was issued trom his office.
This is a remarkable fact in a town whose po
pulation numbers about twenty five hundred,
and results not from the fact that no courting
was dane, but that the ladies here are uncom
monly hard to marry."

let ns take a survey of the Heavens, and of the ;
beautiful constellanons that are there visible. :
Thn ?ntrAt iM Ka hftihtnfid hv thn reflection. !
The interest w ill ba hetinbtened by iha reflection.
that the light that renders some of the least ot
those- luminaris now; visible, baa been moving
with a velocity -jnsJr two hundred thousand
miles, or as much as eight times round our
ah,-Tfr7ecend of time, ity a longer period
than a majority of the beholders have been liv
ing, to bear uahe intelligence that the hoay
from which it emanated was then in existence.
From the smallfest visible Star, it requires a pe
riod of at least 50 years for light with this im
mense velocity to reach our Earth.
Tne eye of the spectator in the open air win
soon rest on the beautiful planet Venus, in the
Western part of the Ueavens, so lately hid. Dy
the Moon. Near it will be seen a small red
Star, which is the planet Saturn, a body more
than one thousand times as large as Venus or
the Earth, but diminutive in apparent size, by
its immense distance, being over nine hunarea
millions of miles from us, or more than ten times
as remote as the Sun.
Look early, too, in the South West for the
beauriful Star Sirius, or the Dog Star, which is
the largest fixed star iu the firmament. Alde-
baren. or the bull s eye, will be about the same
distance from the horiion as Sirius, but about
45 degrees further north.
About. 3 minutes after 8 o'clock, the eastern
part of the moon will become a little less bright,
in consequence of entering what Astronomers
call the penumbra, or a portion of space around
the true shadow of the moon, from which a part
i.f the sun S; rays are intercepted by the earth.
The moon will continue to get dimmer, and
dimmer, but the eastern part the more so, till
6 minutes past 9, waen the eastern portion will
enter the true shadow of the earth. At y turn
utes past iU, the moon will be wholly immers
ed in the earth's shadow, or be, as it is called,
totally eclipsed. The moon, however, although
it does not, at this time, receive any direct rays
from the sun's rays being reflected by the earth's
atmosphere, so as to be converged on the moon s
surface, and render the Moon of a dull, coppery
appearance. The total Eclipse will continue till
45 minutes past Jl; the moon will leave the
true shadow at 48 minutes past twelve, and
be restored to its full brightness again, or leave
the penumbra, at 51 minutes past 1. As the
Moon ia passing out of the penumbra, the Eas
tern portion, which was the dimmer when en
tering, will be the brightest.
During this eclipse of the moon to as, the
Lunarians, (if there are any,) will witness a
most magnincent total eclipse ot the oun, in
consequence of the Earth being between the two
bodies. The Sun will be obscured to them for
over an nour and a halt, lhe phenomena on
such an occasion must surpass in grandeur, by
far, anything we are ever permitted to witness
in thir sublunary sphere.
A person may. obtain a good idea of the pen
umbra above rewrred to, by a little illustration
of our solar eclipses. The moon, of necessity,
binee the sun is constantly shining on it, is al
ways attended by a shadow, extending in a di
rection opposiie to the Sun. Since the Moon is
so much smaller than the Sun, this shadow will
be in the form of a cone, or become smaller and

Now, although, in some parts of space, the

In August 18G0, and May 1900, the centre of
the Moon's shadow will pass over parts of Vir
ginia and North Carolina, affording those who
may then be living, an opportunity of witness
ing the rare aud sublime phenomenon of a to
tal ecKpso of the Sun. That of 1869 will be
the first total eclipse visible ia this country.
If the heavens are observed about 9 o'clock,
the Great Bear orDtyper will be near the Me
ridian, a Ifttle" north of the Zenith. The two
left hand ones of the seven bright stars point
nearly to the North Star. The twins, Castor
and Pollux, two bright stars, will be in the
Western part of the heavens, about midway,
between the Zenith and horizon. East of them,
and a little west of the meridian, will be seen
the bright Star Regulus, in the heart of Leo,
which, with the several smaller stars near it,
firm the shape of sickle ; Regulus, being in
the end of the handle. East of Regulus, and a
little further from it than it is from the Twins,
Is the bright and beautiful star, Spica Virginia.
Lyra will be seen North east, a little above the
horizon. This star bbtains additional interest,
from lhe fact, that, in consequence of the pro
cession of the equinoxes, although with the
ejow motion of only about 50 seconds of aro
annually, it will, 12,000 years heqca, be the Po
lar Star. Although now 50 degrees from the
pole of the beavenB, it will then be within 5,
and our present Polar Star will be 40 degrees
from the polo. What a change will there then

WOMAN'S SPHERE.
Charles Dickens never wrote anything more
beautiful and true than the following :
M The true woman for whose ambition a hus
band's love and her children's adoration are suf
ficient ; .who applies her military instincts to
the discipline of her household, and whose leg
islates exercise themselves in making laws for
her nurse ; whose intellect has field enough for
her in communion with her husband, and whose
heart asks no other honor than his love and ad
miration ; a woman who does not think it a
weakness to attend to her toilet and does not
disdain to be beautiful; who believes in the
virtue of glossy hair and well fitting gowns, and
who eschews rents and ravelled edges, slip sloy
shoes and audacious make upa ; a woman who
speaks low and doeas not speak much ; who ia
patient and gentle, and intellectual and indus
trious ; who loves more than she reasons, rare
ly argues but adjusts with a smile ; such a wo
man ia the "wife we have all dreamed of once in
our lives, and who it the mother we still worship
in the backward distance of the past; such a
woman as this does more for woman's cause
than all the sea captains, barristers, judges
and members of Parliament put together, God
given and God blessed as she is.

THE NAPOLEON CRISIS.
He must be a dull obmr of the events nw
tr&nsnirin? in Eurone who cannot rerceivo the
indications in the nil
the rnlitiwi! firmament of th
Etorm which begins to gather over the head of .
arte. Hitherto the career ot :
nee the expulsion of the B ur- ,
ocms, nas Deen one 01 most surprising, nay, ai ,
most miraculous goM fortune, and step by step :
of his strange formne appeared but the more ;
firmly to secure his supremacy and consolidate ; .
ly
his power. When his fortuituous success was j
to meet a cheek or be finally overthrown, no .
one was bold enough to predict, for no one I
could have foreseen, that within a few months j
French prowess, hitherto deemed almost invin-
cible, slmuld have lost it prestige and its sue- j
C3S3. r rom every point aiaaptrs, are reporrea ;
even the Chineso have proved themselves supe
rior in battle to the countrymen of the legions
who, in fiims not very remote, under the direc
tion of Napoleon the elder, swept like an irre
sistible torrent over the whole of continental
and peninsular Europe. Astonished, disap
pointed and disgusted, imperial France of to
day, in imposed silence, contemplates, with ill
suppressed indignation the humiliation oi a
great people, and although forbidden to give
publicity to the sentiments of the outraged peo
ple, is keenly alive to the cause of the disasters,
the authors of the disgrace which has befallen
them. Napoleon has commanded silence and
obedience as division after division of French
troops have left Marseilles to be ingloriously
entombed upon the barren heights of Inker
mann. In vain the dauntless Zouaves demand
to be led against Sebastopol, vainly they rot by
thousands, inactive and repulsed, before the
walls of that gloomy strong-hold ; the men who
could have led them to glory and conquest are
either exiles from their couutry, or living in
obscurity. Napoleon has commanded silence
in i ranee, but ho has not obtained success in
the Crimea. Thousands by thousands, the best
blood of that chivalrous land are now perish-
ng on the inhospitable shoresofthe Black Sea,
but Napoleon tranquilly plans new schemes a
gainst liberty, and only dreams of the British
and future enjoyment at the expense of human
freedom.
His sew friend and associate, the faithless
and soulless scoundrel, Paliaerston, has at length
raised the veil from their designs, and openly
proclaims that the freedom of Hungary would
be deplorable, and that the re establishment of
Polish freedom is a mere question, to bo dealt
with by those twin beauties, Francis Joseph, of
Austria, and rrederick William, of Prussia.
The admission is opportune, for it does away
with all doubts upon the subject, and establish
es beyond question what we have ever asserted,
that the British government, finding itself una
ble to resist the universal demand of the people
for war, undertook it in such a manner that the
abasement of Russia was ah impossibility, and
with the sole view of strengthening the despo
tism, the people erroneously hoped it would end
in overturning. To this end, and for this sole
purpose was the magnificent army it sentto the
East destroyed, the Baltic fleet rendered use
less, and the nation covered with disgrace ; but,
then the Palmerstons and Russels and Claren
dons have the satisfaction of knowing that, al
though the country might be ruined, their ar
istocratic order would be strengthened by the
traitorous course they were so atrociously pur
suing. Napoleon, for whom the war might have prov
ed an inestimable God-send, was made the dupe
of English aristocratic management, and now
when the fortunate occasion for a grand and
successful coup has passed away and been lost,
finds himself compelled to risk his fortunes be
fore Sebastopol, either ts conquer and reign in
France, or to die, be buried and laughed at like
any other adventurer who has had his hour of
triumph, his grand displays, and passed away
and been forgotten. Domestio conspiracies be
gin to encircle him, the people who, a short time
since, remembering only his name, with such
unanimity supported him by their suffrage, be
gin to doubt both hia wisdom and his valor, and
the unreturning thousands of brave men, week
ly sent to feed the vultures of the Crimea, paint
in sombre colors the miseries they endure, the
character of the war, and the hopelessness of a
contest where there is neither genius or capaci
ty in those entrusted with command.
In this state of affairs there is nothing left to
Napoleon but to stake hia all upon success in
the Crimea, success to be obtained under hia
own eye and direction, and such is the pitiable
condition in which he is placed, that he aloneof
all the parties complicated in the war, cannot
mase peace, me .British aristocracy caring
nothing forthehonoror interestsof their country
provided they are secured its gevernment and
the possession of their present privileges, will
make peace on any terms : but poor Bonaparte
has a proud and sensitive people to satisfy, and
he will not dare to disregard their feelings, or
to recall the remnant ot his army discouraged,
moruueu, anu an out uisnonorea. looming,
therefore, is left to him but conquest or death in
the Crimea, and the remonstrances of England
to the contrary notwithstanding, we are confi
dent he will go there and the Vienna conferen
ce, so far as France is concerned, will be a fail
ure. He bus little choice now ; he must either
bo a conqueror or an outcast. iV. O. Delta
A GOOD JOKE AND TWO OF 'EM.
The mail carrier on a certain route refused
several times, a short while ago, to deliver the
mails it the post office on this route he want
ed nis pay out ot certain moneys received at
the post office for a special purpose, and which
the deputy postmaster, in the absence of his
senior, could not give. The carrier desired to

passed along, the deputy handed him out a doc

from Brig. Gen. Wm. R. Greathouae, appoint
ing said deputy to a lieutenantship in the mili-
ua oi toe nrsi district ot Indiana.
Telling the above to one of our citizens, he
said it reminded him of an affair that took
place in. the war of 1812. In Western New
York, a poor fellow from the country had been
drafted to enter the militia and fight for his
land and the green graves of his sires,' solely
contrary to bis natural inclinations. He went
to a neighboring town f get legal advice, ho
ping in some manner to get rid of military ser
vice. A wag of a clerk in a lawyer's office told
him he thought he could fix up something that
would do, and forthwith drew up a singular
document, in which legal phrases, Latin,
Greek, eto., were freely mingled, and a big seal
applied and handed it to him jto get out at quar
ters, and when the names were being called,
to step forward and cry, hear ye, hear ye I'
three times, then present the document to the
general, and all would be right. The honest
fellow took it, and at the appointed day ap
peared on drill. The names were called over,
and General Bloom filled with military glory
paraded up and down before the line, like a
large turkey, while the names were being call
ed. Suddenly he was appalled by the appear
ance of a lean and lank individual stepping
from the ranks, and saying, as be held the
document over his head :
Hear ye ! Hear ye ! 1 Hear ye 1! !'
The man stepped up to the general and
showed him the document. The general open,
ed it, viewed it right side up, upside down and
cros8ways, surrounded by hia aids, and finally
handed it back to the man, saying,
Well, I suppose it's some kind of a habeas
corpus, and we'll have to let the fellow go I'
The lellow made tracks quick with hia pa
per, and was one of the chaps who did not
' serve in the war of 1812.'

Description of thkMblodkom, For thehpio
fit of those residing at a distance,. and consequent
ly unable to inspect the Melo ieon before purchas
ing, we will endeavor to give a" short description
of the Instrument. The cases are made of rose
wood, and are as handsomely finished as any
piano-forte. The key-board is precisly the same
as the piano or organ, and the tone (which is very
beautiful) closely resembles that of the flute stop
of the organ the notes speak the instant the keys
are touched, and will admit of the, performance ot'
as rapid passages as the piano. The pedal on the
right supplies the wind, an 1 works so easily tliat
a chi:d can work it without any exertion. The
bellows (which is something entirely new an i f,r
which a patent was grantel-iu December, 184'i j
is a reversed or exhaustion bellows and it is this
ia a measure which produces the peculiar tone"
The Volume of tone is eual to that cf asm-;':
organ, and by means of the swell may be increnvi
ed or diminished at the pleasure of the perform---it
is sufficitmtly loud for smull churches, aud
well calculated for a parlor instrument, llundivu
have examined them, and all have been loud m
their praise; and the best evidence of their meih
is their rapid sale. But it is a new instrument - .1
new invention and is yet but little known in tiie
musical world, and it is for this reason that wocail
to it the attention of all lovers of music, believ
ing that there are thousands who would lose no timt
in securing one, were they awate of the existence
of such an instrument, and the low price at which
it could be obtained.

CAUTION We commenced the manufacture oi
the Improved Melodeon in 1847, since which time
we have finished and sold over Fourteen Thousand.
During the past three years, we have finished over
Three Thousand Melodeons per y tar; we have nearly
completed our arrangements for finishing Four
Thousand annually. The celebrity which our Mel
odeons have attained has induced nearly every
music dealer in the United States and Canada to
apply for the agency ; but as we make but one
Agent in each city or town, many are necessarily
disappointed. The result lias been that our Name
Plate has been put upon Melodeous which wert not
manufactured by us ; and again, (in a few instances
wchch have come to our knowledge) dealers, who
have been unable to obtain our instruments, have
iacepted the agency of some other manufacturer--keeping
one of our instruments which had purposely
been put out of tune, and in bad order, as a foil to the
inferior article they offered ta the public. For
these reasons we caution these who wish to satisfy
themselves of the merits of our Melodeons to ex
amine those only which are offered by our Agents
or those who deal exclusively in our instruments.
Many improvements applied are exclusively our o mi
and being the original manufacturers, our experi
ence has enabled us to produce instruments whkii
a discerning public have pronouueed superior t
anything of tho kind hitherto manufactured. Muiiy
of the most eminent musicians of the cities of New
York and Boston have voluntarily given testimon
ials as to the high character of of our instruments,
which can be seen on application.
All orders from a distance will he promptly at
