- BAGGAGE TRAIN.A BOOK DAY-DREAM. Our house is empty, save only ourself and the rata and the mice that nibble in solitary hunger. There is no voice of children in the hall, no tramp on the stairs,

no racicei in uie cuamuere, m urauuLjig ueiuw. ine kitchen clock has stopped. The pump creaks no more, and nothing sounds as it did, except the plash of the tide under the windows, the dull and ceaseless roar of the distant city, and the door-bell, People amuse themselves with that yet But the camp is moved. The whole tribe are in the country, ankle wet in dewy grass every morning; chopping, hoeing, planting, fiishing, or exploring nooks and strange new places. But I sit here, with no company but books and some brightfaced friends upon the wall, musing upon things past . and things to come ; reading a little, falling off into a , . reverie, waking to look out on the ever changing beau- ; ty of the bay, dipping again into some dainty honeycomb of literature, wandering from author to author to catch the echoes which fly from book to book, and, by silent suggestions and similarities, connect the widelyseparated men in time and nature closely together. All minds, in the world's past history, find their focal point in a library. This is the pinnical from which t one may see all the kingdoms of the world and the ; glory of theml I keep Egypt and the Holy Land in the closet next the window. On this side of them is Athens and the Empire of Borne. Never was such an army mustered as a library army 1 No General ever had such soldiers as I have! Let them call their roll, and I will call mine. The privates in my army will make even the staff officers of Napoleon's grand army seem insignificant. Only think of a platoon of such good English yeomen as will answer to my roll call. "John Milton!" "Here." A sturdy and noble soldier, better, though blind, than most men with their eyes. "Thomas Hobbes!" "Here" Ah I tough and hearty fellow, with thy sixteen volume limbs "Francis Bacon r "Here." "George Herbert, William ' . Shakespeare, Philip Massinjrer, Chaucer. Spenser. Jo hnson, Pope, Cowper, Drydenl" every one of them, and hunudreds of others, their worthy fellows, are on the spot, armed and equipped, and looking as fresh as if they had received the gift of youth and immortality. Modest men, all ; they never speak uuless spoken to. Bountiful men, all ; they never refuse the asker. I have my doubts whether, if they were alive, I could keep the peace of my domains. But now they dwell ' together in amity, and all of the train one company, and work for tie world's good, each in his especial way, but all -contribute 1 . Charles 1., John Milton and Oliver Cromwell, these three heads lie together in my portfolio, without the shade of repugnace or anger f The silent Henry VHL, and his eight wives, more or less, have domestic quiet now though they touch each other. I can face the most arbitrary men of empire, without an angry flash. .Here are Uharles V. and Jbrancis I., the Medici, masculine and feminine, and old Peter the Great. Here are the dear old Port-Royalists, the sweet Fenelon, the plausable Bosuet ! Now, it is quite surprising how these men have changed. Not only are they here without quarreling, without ambition or selfishness, but how calmly do they sit, though you pluck their opinions by the beard 1 I can dispute with Samuel Johnson with great success. He is as mild as Melancthon. I have had some sound words with Luther upon the sacramental question, but I must do him the justice to say that he has never made an excited or fierce reply. On my left, hang," highest John Calvin, and lowest Martin Luther, and between them Theodore Parker ! They have never touched him, though Martin looks as though he would grind him to powder. But there i3 peace here. Voltaire and Pascal keep good neighborhood. Orthodox and heretic are on good behavior. No kingdom ever had such illustrious subjects as mine, or was half as well governed. I can put my most haughty subjects up or down, as it pleases me, without tumult or opposition. I can lead them forth to such wars as I please, I hold all Egypt in fee simple. I can say as much of all the Orient, as he that was sent , to grass did of Babylon. I build not a city, but empires, at a word. Pericles and Phidias look out of my windows, while I am gone back to the Acropolis to see what they have been about. Old Michael Angelo scowls and Raphael smiles, as if my study were the Sistine chapel or a stanze of the Vatican. The architects are building night and day, like them of old, without the sound of a hammer ; my artists are painting, my designers are planning, my poets are chanting, my philosophers are discoursing, my historians are spinning their dry webs, my theologians are weaving their yet finer ones, my generals are trooping about without noise or blood. All the world is around me. All that ever stirred human heart, or fired the imagination, is harmlessly here ! My shelves are the avenues of time. Cities and empires are put in a corner, Ages have wrought, generations grown, and all the blossoms are cast down here 1 It is the garden of immortal fruits, without dog or dragon. No such garden was Eden, in the past. It is the Eden to which the , race is coming, that is to see the true Adam and Eve. But there goes that much abused bell and with it my dream. 11. Ward Beecher, in the Indipendenl. THEORY OF THUNDER-STORMS. In an article on this subject, the New York Evening Post, after giving its theory of the cause, thus al- . lnHes to some of the freakish effacta of lirrhtnino' : -- It is commonly thought that there is more danger from lightning in the country than in cities, but statistics would seem to show a greater number of accidents from lightning in cities than in localities of corresponding size in the country. About fifteen years since, in a storm of two hours' duration, lightning struck in thirty different places in this city and suburbs. It is probable that upward of fifty persons are annually killed by lightning in the United States, and it may be truly said that in most cases these deaths are the result of rashness or carelessness on the part of the refuge, from the rain under the trees in open fields. Their presence renders the tree more liable to be struck, because the human body is a better conductor than the tree, and it is therefore safer to get wet than to run the risk consequent upon taking such shelter in a thunder-storm. . , In buildings, the safest position is a horizontal one in the middle of a room, and care should be taken that the body be not placed between two good conductors, such as, for example, a mirror in one room and a stove funnel in the room beneath ; because lightning in passing through a building selects the best conductors, and occasions destruction on its way from one good conductor to another. Several years since a person was killed while standing in front of a mirror by a discharge of lightning, which passed across the quicksilver coating of the glass, thence down the body to the floor, and through that to a stove funnel immediately beneath. Mr. Hatch, of Poughkeepsie, was killed while seated in a chair on the piazza of his house with his head leaning back against the bell knob. Persons have been killed while standing at a door or window during a thunder-storm, A man was killed in West Newton, Massachusetts, some years ago, while sitting between a boiler inside a building, and a lightning rod upon the outside, the discharge leaving the rod and passing through his body on its way through the building. It is proper to add, that this lightning-rod was insulated by glass fastenings, and that there is no rea son to doubt the efficacy ot lightning-rods when they are constructed and applied on proper scientific principles. Protecting buildings from lightning however, is something like prescribing for a sick person the luccess of the prescription in either case depending, under Providence, on the degree of knowledge, skill and experience possessed by the physicirn. , Young Man, Pay Atten tion. Don't be a loafer, don't call yourself a loafer, don't keep loafers' company, don't hanjf about loafing places. Better work hard for everything and board yourself than sit around day after day or stand at corners with your hands in your pockets. Better for your own prospects. Bustle about, if you mean to have anything to bustle about for. Many a physician has obtained a real patient by riding hard to attend on an imaginary one. A quire of blank paper tied up with red tape and carried under a lawyer's arm may procure him his first case and make his fortune. Such is the world to him that hath shall be given. Quit droning and complaining, keep busy and mind your chances. Snooks says the ladies no longer "set their caps" to catch the bean they spread their skirts. ',

A BUNDLE OF ALL SORTS.

A young man without money among the ladies, is like the moon on a cloudy night he can t shine. If you would rise in the world, you must not stop to kick at every cur that barks at you as you pass along. A fop is like a cinnamon tree the bark is worth more than the Doay. ' A young poet out West, in describing heaven, says: "It is a world of bliss fenced with girls." . A man advertises for a "competent person to undertake the sale of a new medicine," and adds that, "it will be profitable to the undertaker." There is only one objection to people who "mean well," and that is they never can spare time to carry out their meaning. . Eat North says it is no wonder that women love cats, for both are graceful, and both domestic not to mention that they both scratch. When a daughter remarks, "Mother, I would not hire help, for I can assist you to do all the work in the kitchen," set it down that she will make a good wife. Our friend W. declares that his wife has five fulls "That she is beautiful, dutiful, youthful, plentiful and an armful." We often hear of a man being in advance of his age," but who ever heard of a woman being in the same predicament? , Ladies have generally a great fear of lightning, and this has been superficially ascribed to their natural timidity; but the truth is, that it arrises from their consiousness of being attractive. A lady who obstinately persists in wearing hoops ought not to complain of being ridiculed. If she will make a barrel of herself she must expect to be treated as a butt "If you wish to make a shoe of durable materials," said the facetious Lanesbergh," you should take the upfer part of the mouth of a hard drinker, for that never ets in water." Dr. Nettlcton adopted the following as a maxim for the government of his life : "Do all the good you can in the world, and make as little noise about it as possible." , The man who has never tried the companionship of a little child, has carelessly passed by one of the greatest pleasures of life, as one passes a rare flower without plucking it or knowing its value. A sturdy-looking man in Cleveland, a short time since, while busily engaged in cowhiding a dandy, who had insulted his daughter, being asked what he was doing, replied : "Cutting a swell 1" and continued his amusement without further interruption, i A Nebraska editor announces in the following lan guage his plans and purposes for celebrating the Fourth of July: "We shall luxuriate over our dinner until about four o'clock, when we shall go and swim for halt an hour, 'teter tor another halt an hour, and then pitch cents till dark. In the evening we shall go a courting." . A Quaker had his broad brimmed hat blown off, and he chased it for a long time with fruitless and very ridiculous zeal. At last, seeing a roguish looking boy laughing at his disaster, he said to him "Art thou a profane lad ?" The youngster replied that he sometimes did a little in that way. "Then," said he, taking a half dollar from his pocket, "thee may damn yonder fleeing tile fifty cents worth." A newly married couple from away down East were one night lying in bed talking over matters and things, when a heavy thunder-storm arose. The loud peals of thunder and vivid flashes of lightning filled them with terror and fearful apprehensions. Suddenly a tremendous crash caused the loving pair to start as though they had received an electric shock. Jonathan, throwing his arm around his dear,'-exclaimed, "hug up to me, Liz, let's die like men." THE REASON WHy""BRUDER DICKSON" LEFT THE CHURCH. Mr. Dickson, a colored barber in one of our large New England towns, was shaving one of his customers, a respectable citizen, one morning, when a conversation occurred between them respecting Mr. Dickson's former connection with a colored church in the place. "I believe you are connected with the church in street, Mr. Dickson t said the customer. ' No, Sah, not at all." "What! are you not a member of the African church?" "Not dis year, Sah." "Why did you leave their communion, Mr. Dickson ? if I may be permitted to ask." "Why, I tell you, Sah," said Mr. Dickson, strapping a concave razor on the palm of his hand. "It was jess like dis. I jined dat church in good faif. I gib ten dollars toward de stated preachin' ob de gospS de fus' year, and de peepil all call me Brudder Dickson. De second year my business not good, an' I only gib five dollars. Dat year de church peepil call me Mister Dickson. , , "Dis razor hurt you, Sah ?" , "No; the razor goes very well." "Well, Sah, de third year I fell berry poor, sickness in my family, an I didn't gib nuffin for preachin'. Well, Sah, after dat dey call me ole Nigger Dickson, andlleff'em!" So saying, Mr. Dickson brushed his customer's hair, and the gentleman departed well satisfied with the reason why Mr. Dickson left the church. The Ideal Woman. The true woman, for whose ambition a husband's love and her children's adoration are sufficient, who applies her military instincts to the discipline of her household, and whose legislatives exercise themselves in making laws for her nursery; whose intellect has field enough for her in communion with her husband, and whose heart asks no other honors than his love and admiration; a woman who does not think it a weaknes to attend to her toilet, and who does not disdain to be beautiful, who believes in the virtue of glossy hair and well fitting gowns, and who eschews rents and raveled edges, slip-shod shoes and audacious make-ups; a woman who speaks low, and does not speak too much; who is patient, gentle, intellectual and industrious; who loves more than she reasons, and yet does not love blindly; who never scolds and never argues: such a woman is the wife all dreamed of once in our lives, and is the mother we still worship in the backward distance of the past.

ROBAOK'S Blood Purifier and Blood Fills. ; i DISEASE VANQUISHED " By Dr. Boback's Scandinavian Bemedies. SSI 1 mm Hill Emimlimniiil r sr mm AFTER YEARS OF STUDY AND EXPERIMENT, DK. KOBACK, the eminent Swedish Physician, succeeded in producing a medicine from twenty-three different mountain herbs of his native land, which acts directly upon the causes of disease in the blood, and by restoring the corrupted fountain of life, to a condition of health and purity, expels dis ease from the system, wherever it may be located, or whatever may be its character. Indigestion, nervous complaints, epileptic and other fits, coughs, consumption in its early alages, sore throat, bronchitis, fever and ague, asthma, low spirits, sexual incapacity, femenine weakness, pricking of the skin, symptomatic of paralys, rheumatism neuralgia, tumor, cancer, diabetes, lassitude and debility, diarrhea, and all other disorders of the organs of respiration, the liver, the kidney, the stomach, the nerves, or the muscular fiber, are unerringly cured by this preparation. It is to the materies morbi, or seeds of disease, what an alkali is to an acid : it neutralizes them with absolute certainty, while at the same time it regulates the socretions, removes obstructions from the bowels, creates appetite, renews bodily vigor, and regenerates every animal function. Such is the nature, such are the effects of Dr. Roback's famous Scandinavian Blood Purifier, which, if taken in con junction with his Scandinavian Blood Pills, will not only ob literate the most pauilul oisease, out preveni ineir recurrence, and lengthen life beyond the ordinary span. In the SCANDINAVIAN VEUEi ArtLii biuuu ribbs, vr. Roback presents the result of overtwenty years of experience, hard studv and experiment as to what a perfect pill should be. No one can doubt their sunerioritv after one single trial. Price of the Scandinavian Blood Purifier, 81 per bottle, or 85 per half dozen; Scandinavian Blood Pills, 25 cents per box, or five for 81. ' From the Rev. Mr. MoMullin, t-astoror Kooeris unapci : - Indianapolis, Oct. 5, 1857. Dr. RoaicK Dear Sir : I have used your Blood Purifier for a nervous atfef-tion, from which I have suffered much at times. While it is pleasant to the taste, it certainly has a happy effect upon the nerves. Please accept my thanks foryour kind regards and believe me, Yours, , J. W.T. McMullen. - Cincinnati, Fnday,Sept. 4, 18o7. Dr. Roback Dear Sir : Having been afflicted with neuralgaj or rheumatism for the past year and a half, and having seeu your medicine, called the Scandinavian Blood Purifier, highly recommended by gentlemen with whom I am acquainted, I was indueed to try it, but not before I had used various other medicines. After using two bottles, I felt its effect very sensibly, and upon using two more, I found myself perfectly cured. You will allow roe, tnereiore.io congratulate you upon maaing a discovery in medicine which is proviug itself to be a worker of such wonders in the diseases of the human family. GEORGE S.

It cures as if by magic, even the Jirt dost giving benefit and seldom more than one bottle is required to cure any kind of Liver Complaint, from the worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia to a eommoD headache, all of which are the result of a JJis eased l,iver ThtfLiverisoneoftheprin-' cipal regulators of tho hq. man. body, and when it per- forms its functions well, the powers of the system are fully developed. The tom-acAisalmostentirelydcpend-Centon a healthy action of the Liver for the proper perform- 'TT' ance of its functions. When the stomach is at fault, the bowels are at fault, and the whole system suffers in con-sequence of one organ the Liver having ceased to do its duty. For the diseases of that organ, one of the propri- w. e tors has made it his study in a practice of more than 20 years, to find some remedy wherewith to counteract the many derangements to which it is liable. . To prove that this remedy CJj is at last found, any person troubled with Liver Com- plaint in any of its forms, has but to try a bottle, and con- M viction Is certain. A compound has beon form- ed by dissolving gums, and extracting that part which is f Fj soluble, for the active virtues of the medicine. These gums remove all morbid or bad matter from the system, sup- "H Pbingin their place a healthy flow of bile, invigorating tho stomach, causing food to digest well, purifying the blood taand giving tone and health to the whole machinery: remov- t--ig the causes of the disease and effecting a radical cure without any of the disagreeable after effects, felt by using Calomel or Mineral Poison that Is usually resorted to. One dose after eating is sufficient to relieve the stomach and prevent the food from rising and souring. Only one dose taken before PrJ retiring prevents night- mafe. Only one dose taken at r"J night loosens the bowels gently and cures costive- rrjness One dose taken after each meal will cure Dyspepsia.

Only one doaeimmediately )m relieves Cholic, while v One dose often repeated is ' a sure cure for Cholera Morbus, and a preventative of Cholera. One dose taken often will Tf prevent the recurrence of billious attacks, while it re- lieves all pirinful feelings. JLpuniy one bottle is needed to throw out of the svstem the effects of inedi- i eme aftor a long s i tie enects ot in em- lj one atlor a long sickness, One bottle taken for Jaun-dice removes all yellowness or unnatural color from the 0t skin. One dose taken' a short time before eating', givesvigorto the appetite and makes food digest well. One dose often repeated cures Chronic Diarrtacea in its worst forms,! while summer r, and bowel complaints yield almost to the first dose. ad One or two doses cures at- y- tacks caused by worms, while for worms in children, there fr, is no surer, safer, or speedier remedy in the world, as it j never fails There is no exaggeration in these statements ; they are plain sober facts, that we can give evidence to prove, while all who use it are giving their (jJ unanimous testimony iu its favor, . . r , , - Among tho hundreds of Liver Remedies now offered totha public, there are none we can so fully recommend as Dr. Sanford's Invigorator, so generally known throughout the Union.
