Arthur, published on the 1st of July, by W. Bradley, of Philadelphia. "Father ! father 1" the clear, earnest voice of Mar was heard cal.mg. ; "I'm coming, dear," answered Morgan. uCome quick, father, won't you " ; "Yes, love." And Morgan got up and dressed himself but with unsteady hands and every sign of nervous prostration. In a liitle while, with the nssistance of . his wife, he was ready, and supported by her came tottering into the room where M&ry was Ivinff. . "Oh I, father P What a light broke over her countenance "I've . been waiting for you so long I thought you were never go ing to wake up. ivtss me, tatner. "Wi.at can I do for yon, Mary V asked Morgan, tenderly, as he laid his face down vpon the pillow beside her. "Nothing, father. I don't wish for any- thing. I only wanted to see you." " I'm here, now, love." "Dear father!" How earnestly, yet ten derly she spoke, laying her small hand up on his face. -"You've always been good to me. fath er f . . -- "Oh ! no. I've never been good to any body" sobbed the weak, broken-spirited man, as he raised himself from the pillow. How deeply touched was Mrs. Slade as she sat, the silent witness of the scene. 'Y'ou hav'nt been good to yourself, fath er but you have always been good to us." "Don't, Mary 1 don't say anything about .that," interposed Morgan. "Say that I . have been very bad very wicked." Oh 1 Mary, dear I i only wish that I was as good as you are ; I'd like to die, then, and go right away from this evil world. I wish there was no liquor to drink no taverns no bar-rooms. , Oh ! dear ! I , wish 1 was dead." - VV .'. - -' v.; ' And the weak," trembling, half-palsied man laid bis face again- upon the pillow beside his child, and sobbed aloud. What an oppressive silence reigned for a time through the room t T "Father." The stillness was broken by Mary. Her voico was clear and even. "Father, I want to tell you something." "What is it, Mary?" - "There II be nobody to go for you, fath er." . The child's lips quivered, and tears now , filled her eyes, i "Don't talk about that, Mary. I'm not going out in the evening any more until you get well. Don'tyou remember, I prom ised?". . Put father " She hesitated. "What, dear f" "I'm going away to leave you and moth er".. ' '. ' ' " .--'"""' "Oh I nono no, Mary ! Don't say that" the poor man's voico was broken "don't say mat I ve cam tei you go dear." ' "God has called me." The child's voice had a solemn tone, and her eyes turned reverently upward, i "I wish He would call me !" groaned Morgan, hiding his face in his hands. "What shall I do when you are gone 1 Oh 1 dear! Oh ! dear!" : "Father I" Mary spoke calmly again. - MYou are noC readjr to g a yet God will let you live here longer, that you may get ready." ;- ; "How can I get ready without you to help me, Mary I My angel child!" Havn't I tried to help you, father, oh ! so many times f" said Mary; : , : Yes yes you've always tried." out you would go to the tavern. It seemed almost as if you could'nt help it." Morgan groaned in spirit. "Maybe I can help you better; father, after I die. I love you so much, that -1 am sure God will let me come to you, and stay with you always, and be an angel to you. Don't you think he will mother f " ! But Mrs. Morgan's heart was too full She did pot even try to answer, but sat, with streaming eyes, gazing upon "her child's face, v " Father, I dreamed something about you while I slept to-day.? . ., ' . , , t , i Alary again turnea to ner tamer. I thought it was night and that I was till sick. You promised not to go out any more until I was; well. But you4ii go out. and I thought you went over to Mr. I R8 8trong as when I was well, and I got up nd dressed myself, and started out after I you out 1 nad nt gone lar oeiore 1 mot Mr. Slade's great bull-dog, Wero; and : he trmwM at se so dreatifaly that I was frichtned and ran back home Then I started asrain.-and went round Mr. Masons. Rut there was Nero in the road, and this time he causrht my dress in his mouth and tore a great pirce out of the skiru -1 ran back again, and ne cnasea me an tne way home. Just as I got to the door, I looked around and there was Mr. Slade setting Nero on me. As soon as 1 saw Mr. Slade, though he looked at me very wicked, 1 lost all mv fear, and, turning around I . walked past Nero, who showed bis teeth and grow led as fiercely as ever, out dia m toucn me Then Mr Sl;de tried to stop me. " But I dtd'nt mind him, and kept right on until ! came to the tavern, and there you stood in the door. And you' were dressed "so nice. You had on a new hat and coat j and your boots were jiew, and' polished iust like Judffe Hammond's. I said "O father, is this you 7" And then you took me ud in vour arms and kissed me," and said, "Yes Mary, I am your-real father- not old Joe Morgan, but Mr. Morgan now. It seemed all so strange, and I looked into the bar-room to see who was there. But twas'nt a bar-room any longer, but a store ger, but a store of the S ckel full of eroods. I he sign Sheaf was taken down: and over the door I now read your name, father. Oh,' I was so triad . and 1 awoke ana men l cnea an mm. . m a 1 w - ' It to myself, for it was only "a dream.". . The last words were said very - mourn fully, -with' a drooping of Mary's lids, until the tear gemmed lash lay close upon her cheeks. Another period of deep silence followed ; for the oppressed listeners gave no utterance to what was in their hearts, Feeling was loo strong for speech. ! Near ly five minutes e-lided away, and men Mary whispered the name of her ; father, but without openinsr her eyes. - Morgan answered, and ' bent down his ear " You will only have, mother left, she said "onlv mother. And sne cries so much when vou are away " " 1 won't leave her, Mary, only wnen 1 go to work, said Morgan, whispering back to the child." "and I'll never, so out at night any more, ' ; r--. - - " Yes, you promise me that'" -44 And I'll premise more." . What, father?" ... " Never to go into a tavern again." "Never!" " No, nrver. And I'll promiso still more." "Father " Never to drink a drop of liquor as long as I live." - " O father ! dear, dear father ! And with o cry of joy Mary started up, and flunff herself upon his breast. , Mor gan drew bis arms tightly around her, and sat for a long time with his lips pressed to her cheek, whilst she lay against his bo som as still as death. As death? Yes: for when the father unclasped his arms, the spirit of his child was with angels' of the ressurrection. Arthur Home uazaie.

J. JS. ROBINSON. MEDICAL HOUSE, No. 16, ' SOUTH FREDERICK STREET, BALTIMORE. MARYLAND. Established in order to afford the Afflicted sound and scientific .Vertical Aid, ? S " and for the suppression of Quackery DR. 1. B. Smith has for many years devotedhls wholeattention to the treatment of Private com plaints, in all tbeir varied and com plica ud forma. His great success in those long standing and diffi cult cases, such aa were formerly considered incur able, is sufficient to commend him to the public as worthy of the extensive patronage he haa received. Within the latt eight years, Dr. 3. has treated more than 29,600 cases of Private Complaints, in thtir different forma and stages; a practice which no doubt exceeds thst of all other physicians now ad vertising in Baltimore, and not a single case is known where his directions were strictly followed, and medicines taken at reasonable time, without effecting a radical and permanent cure ; therefore, peraons afflicted with diseases of the above nature, 'no matter bow difficult or long standing the case may be," would do well to call on Dr. Smith, at hia office, No, 16, South Frederick St.,and If not effec tually relieved no remuneration will be required for hia services. His medicines are free from Mercury and all mineral poisons ; put up in a neat and com pact form, and may be taken in a public or private house, or while travelling, without exposure or hin drance from business, and except, in cases of vlo ent Inflammation, no change of diet is necessary, STRICTURES.-Dr. Smith haa discovered a new method by which ho can cure the worst form of stricture and that without pain or inconvenience to the patient. Irritation of the uretha, or prostrate glands.or neckof the bladder.is sometimes mistaken icr strictures by general practitioners or charlatans. yoU NO MEN and others afflicted with Seminal Debility, wheth er originating from a Certain Dettructiv Habit, or from any other cauae, with train of bodily and men tal evils which follow, when neglected, should make an early application, thereby avoiding much trouble and suffering, aa well as expense. By bis improved method of treatment. Dr. S. can safely guarantee a speedy and perfect cure in all cases of this com plaint. . ' TO FEMALES. - All diseases peculiar to Females (as also Sup pressions, Irregularities, die.) speedily and effectu ally removed. The efficacy of his remedies, for the cure of the above affections, have been well tested In an extensive practice for the last twelve years. Persons st s distance may consult Dr. S. by letter, post-paid, describing esse, and have medicine securely put up and forwarded to any part of the United States, always accompanied with full and explicit directions for use. - Communications con sidered strictly confidential. Office arranged with separate apartments, so that patients never see any one but the doctor himself. Attendance daily, from 8 in the morning till 9 at night. . -N. B. Persons afflicted with any of the above complaints, will do well to a old the various NOSTRUMS AND SPECIFICS, advertised by Apothecaries and Druggistsaa a cer tain cure for any and every disease. They are put up to sell, but not to cure, and frequently do much more harm than good therel .re avoid them. A word to the wise is sufficient. Address DR. J. B. SMITH, 16 South Frederick St., ...

DREADFUL EARTHQUAKE IN GUATEMALA. The citof Goaternala has been afflicted with a series" 6T earthquakes, which haVc done sorffe aatWage aid 6auscd genera! alarm. The first shock was a slight one,, occurred on the Nth of July. Next day three more took place, and on the 16ih three more, still slight in character, and no shock exceeding one or one and it half sec onds in duration, the direction b'e?r from South to North, unaccom pained by fYSise. On the 1 7th, about 5 1-2 o'clock, A. M., a smart shock of two seconds in duration oc curred, with a hollow rumbling noise, amt a subsequent ribration of the earth. The same day. about twelre minutes before two o'clock P. M., came two shocks of great violence with loud noise, doing considera ble damage to public aftd private buildings throughout the city, throwing down seve ral small ones, and re-opening the oIi cracks made by the earthquakes of 1830, besides making many new ones. All the churches had large cracks in them' ffficf that of Sl Augustine was badly damaged. The streets were immediately filled with affrighted people, the . cry of Dios fuerte resounded on every side, some knelt in the? streets to pray, and others hurried to the churches. The duration of the shocks was about four seconds each, the course the same as before, and the motion of the undulatory or horizontal kind. At three o'clock another severe shock occurred, fol lowed by others throughout the afternoon and night, accompanied with a vibratory motion and a rumbling noise, the entire number of shocks throughout that day and night being thirteen. A letter in the New York Herald, from which we obtain the above information, proceeds thus : " Throughout the afternoon many per sons were moving out of the city for safety, others were erecting tents and booths irr the various plaeas or in (heir yards, (he troops were mustered and tents erected for them ; the authorities ordered lights to be placed in the windows of all the houses, and, indeed, everything potrayed the geno' ral fear. . "At daylight on Tuesday morning", trief 17th, a shock from the opposite quarter, that is, from north to south, was felt, ac companied with much noise, and a severe tremulous or vibratory .motion, causing' many tiles to fall from the roofs of the houses, and creating fresh alarm. Through out thb day there were several others of less severity. Business appeared to be suspended many of the stores and places of business were closed, and every one rushed out of their houses on the slightest alarm, fearing they might be crushed un der the falling buildings. At 8 P. M. two violent shocks of about four seconds, dura tion occurred, nearly ns severe as those' two on Monday, and occurring thus nt night, they" created more terror and confu sion than the former. M These shocks were preceded by a sharp explosion, and followed by vibrations, which continued at intervals for some min utes. These shocks too were different from all the preceding ones, being of the up lifting or perpendicular kinds, as though the immediate cause was beneath our feet. Soon after immense masses of clouds cov ered the entire horizon, and the lightning played on all sides with great vividness, At ten minutes past eleven, a glare of light was visible for some seconds on the south ern horizon, as though some volcano- had just burst into life, and immediately after another explosion and a slight shock oc curred. Sleep was out of the question hundreds were in the streets praying, and all feared the worst was yet to come. The number of shocks during the day and night was eight. u From that day until yesterday, the 31st July, the shocks have continued, with more or less intensity, and at times accom panied with vibrations and noise. The en tire number of shocks up to this morning, (for one has taken place since I commen ced this letter.) has been seventy -three. Our latest advices from San Salvador state that occasional shocks of earthquake are still fell there. Many family have re turned to' the ruined city, from the fact that they are unable lo find shelter clsewhete. Nothing has yet been done towards com mencing the building of the new eapit.il, owing to the general distress and want of money that exists. Several small sum have been received there from this repub lic, and also from Nicaragua aw Cosh Rica, but the number of wretched appff' cants is so great, and the amount of relief afforded so small, that the greatest destitu tion and suffering prevail. u Information has also reached this city, through the Gazette of the State of Cl'i pas, that in the last week of the month of May the large Indian pueble of Jamiltepe que, in the Slate of Oatca, distant ten leagues from f bat city, was entirely de stroyed by a succession of shocks ot earth quake. The loss of life is said to be great, though I am without accurate information on that point. The Gazette states that those who tried to escape towarJs the sea were mostly all destroyed, whilst those who ran in a country direction nearly all escaped." DR.
