FAEEING 8 T A It S." ' Tha meteoric shower that fell oa the night of the

13th Noyember, 1833, exhibited a scene long to be

remembered by all who witnessed it. To the enlight

ened and well-informed it was grand, awful, sublime ; but to the ignorant and superstitious, overwhelming and terrific. Such a countless number of meteors never fell from the empyrean in so short a space of time before or

since, the theories of Humboldt and Captain Twining

u tut; contrary noiwniisiitumiig. A few weeks alter this grand display of fire-works

Jim ranklin, or " Uncle Jim, as he was most generally called, was seen hobblins about on crutches, his

lower extremities covered with a superabundance of

red nauneL Jims early educational advantages had

Deen very limited, llis learning irora books and schools was contracted to the acquisitions of a few months, by a mind not at all inclined to study. But

he had prospered in the world, and by raising cotton

m tne tlatwoous ot JMbert, where he lived, had accumulated a snug fortune. He was a general favorite in his neighborhood, and but for a slight habit of indulging sometimes too much in the " ardent," nu'trht

ue leraieu an umearneu, snrewu, exemplary man. Jim was sitting with a number of gentlemen in the Petersburg Inn, his feet nicely adjusted in another

cnair, witn his crutches across his lap, when some one inquired why he was working himself in shafts? Whereupon he explained : " You see we had at our

house, tlie other night, a small sprinkle of what we hon

estly took to be the 'day of judgment!" It turned

out we were slightly mistaken ; but I assure you, if , I'm any judge of small matters, it was a right good" coun-

terieii or mac great uay, wnen they say there is to be

a general smash-up. Many a one of us, for a while, thought it was the genewine coin, and, as the masons

wouiu say, conducted ourselves accordingly.' I tuck

the wrong shute at the stai-t. Now they say, ' Man purposes, and God exposes ;" this may or may not be good Scriptur ; at the latter end of my spenence I

wuum can u goou sense. " I was suddenly wakened outin a sound sWn. nnt

by Gabriel's horn, but a noise mighty nigh as loud, if

nou nearn so tur; wile, children, and niggers were screaming and hollerin 'the day of judgment was come, the stars wur all fallin', the world was burninoup !" I sprung up, looked at the heavens ; never seed sich precedencies thar before ! Thar being no mountains and rocks convenient to call on to hide me, I tuck a bee-line with average ingine speed for the well, which I would say is ninety-two feet deep in the clear. It's the deepest hole in the ground I knowed any thing about. When I got thar I found Bob and Sara, two of my nigger boys, on a quondary which of the two elements to chuse. . Bob, a bright molatter, was for water; Sam, an onmixed African, was for turnin" Sallymaudy, and facin the music. Savs I, ' Boys, clear the track, and take hold of that windlass, and let me down into the bowels of the yeth as soon as the natur of the ease will admit of ; the outside is gettino- unwholesome, sure !" Then, without hat, coat, vest, pants, stockings, or shoes, I got in the bucket and started ; they hadn't turned the windlass twice round when I hollered to 'em to slip the britching and let me slide. No sooner said than done, when I whirled, cur-closh, nigh onto three foot in the water. No man could have made the trip sooner, ceptin' he had fallen in, and held ' had to tuck a far start at that 1 . About the time the water settled round me, and I was kivered all but my head, I felt fire-proof, and calculated they'd have to burn low to git me ! Now they say a man in a deep well, in the day time, can see stars. I allow them is fixed stars. The ones I saw from that well that night was travelers, certain ! "Re

sides, if there was any fixed stars that night I never

seen em. borne said they watched the morning star,

auu as luug as mai siuck they had hope. " I made the boys draw me up several times, to see how things war coming on ; but when one of them bi" blazing nieturs would dart toward me, I would whirl down to the length of my cable. I soon fnnn T Wl

gone beyant what was comfortable: I got tired of

PV'S uuu-in'g, nit tne water, and felt like taking

the nre, no matter in what quantity or what form! I'M jus say, right here, if any man should have hydrofoby agin fire, and will put himself through my pirf'ormances in that well, and ain't cured, his disease is too deep for hydropathy. I put on dry clothes, tuck a stew of whisky and red pepper, but too late the rumaties had me! So, in bracing agin fire I got busted on water! " I wa'nt the only man excited on that occasion by a long jump. My neighbor, Sam Stuart, cum over next morning, and axed me how we stood the racket? lie looked solemn as a preacher; said his dwelling had never been a house of prayer before, but if they didn't make up for lost time he was no judge o 'LVous exercises. He said he and his crowd praved nigh onto four hours; they hearn . the clock strike three times while they were on their knees. He said, the fact was, they exhausted the argument, and he got up, and hadn't another word to say if the day of judgement had come. And I'm thinking I'd cum out better if I'd relied on faith and prayer instead of sich work as I did !" In this opinion the company concurred, and lauo-h-ed long and loud at his narative. When the noiseof their mirth had ceased, some one remarked to Jim if he had been as smart and philosophical as one of his "anscestors, Benjamin Franklin, he would not have been at all alarmed, and could have explained it "I have hearn of him before," said Jim: "he war the fellow could go out, when danot

by, pull lightning out'em, sample it, bless you! and

Ouk Changing Climate. The following beautiful passage by Washington Irvine mitrht almost make

a March day cheerful : -

" Here let us sav a word in favor of those 'vicissi

tudes of our climate, which are too often made the subject of our exclusive repining. If they annoy us occasionally by changes from hot to cold, from wet to dry, they give us one of the most beautiful climates in

the world. 1 hey give us the beauhful sunshine of the South of Europe, with the fresh verdure of the North.

They float our summer sky with gorgeous tints of

fleecy whiteness, and send down cooling showers to refresh the panting earth and keep it green. Our seasons are full of sublimity and beauty.

V inter with us hath none oi its proverbial gloom.

It may have its howling winds and chilling frosts, and whirling snow storms ; but it has also its long intervals of cloudless sunshine, when the snow clad earth gives

redoubled brightness to the day, when at night the stars beam with intensest lustre, or the moon floods

the whole landscape with her most limpid radience. And the iovous outbreak nf nnr Rnrintr. hnrstinnr nr.

once into leaf and blossom, redundaut with vegetation, and vociferous with life and the splendor of summer its morning voluptuousness and evening glory its airy palaces of sunlit clouds piled up in a deep azure sky :

and its gusts of tempests of almost tropical grandeur, when the forked lightning and bellowing thunder-volley from the battlements of heaven shake the sultry

atmosphere ; and the sublime melancholy of our autumn, magnificent in decay, withering down the pomD

of woodland country, yet reflecting back from its yellow forrests the golden serenity of the sky. Truly we

may say that in our climate, 'The heavens declare tho glory of god, and the firmament showeth his handi

work:, uay unto day uttereth speech, and night unto

night showeth kowledge.' " ,

Action of Sdgak on the Teeth. M. Larez

of France, in the course of his investigations on tho teeth, has arrived at the following conclusions : First, that refined surar, from either cane or beets, is iniu-

rious to healthy teeth, either by immediate contact with these organs, or by the tras developed owina to

us stoppage m the stomach ; second, that if a tooth is

macerated in a saturated solution of surar. it is so much

altered in the chemical composition that it becomes

gelatinous, ana its enamel opaque, spongy, and easily

uruneu: imru, ims mouiucation is clue, not to tree

acid, Out to a tendency ot surrar to combine with thn

calcareous basis of the tooth. .

But wake him up at midnight outen a deep sleep, make the racket around him which were turned loose about me, and let hiin see all them stars a-t'alling. If he will set to ciphering out causes, and forget consequences, he is no kin to me ! Now there is Franklin, and Solomon, and the other apostles the Scriptures speak of, war smart in their day ; but they would be nowliar with our people and thar fixensl I was at Augusta t'other day and seed a railroad-engine and train come a dashing in. Suppose old man Solomon had seen the like of "that come snorting, tearing, thundering by him, what do you think would be his puribrmances? The way he'd run into his temple, and slam to the door, lay low, and say nothing, would be a caution to his big family. Now Franklin, he mout give it thunder, as he delt in the article ; but Solomon, not having the whar with, would make himself scase. The old gentleman never thought of sich things. Now John, on Patterson's Island, dreamed of sich, or something like onto them. If Solomon's dreams had tuck that direction, it would have turned his proverbs into revelations, and might have confused the Scripture." Some gentleman here asked Jim wher Patterson's Island was? " It's none of my look out. I kalculate it's a fine place for dreaming; whether good for cotton, I don't know; but I would advise its owners to keep it hid out, lest the Anglo-Saxon specie mout take a liking to it, and claim it, in working up to their clear and manifest destinyl" Here a voice from without informed Jim his buggy was ready ; When, by the aid of his shafts, he worked himself out of the room, amidst the hearty cheers and farewell of his friends.

Play Low Sensible Suggestion. At the recent reception of the new engine by the Boydcn Engine Company, Waltham, Mass., Ilev. Thomas Hill, of that town, wk was unable to be present, sent in a letter, in which is the following paragraph, which contains a valuable hint : When the sad fire at the comer of Central and New-ton-streeta was raging, some years ago, I went with a friend from another State, an old fireman, to look on. He remarked that those who held the pipe seemed to him not sufficiently governed by the great principle which is the secret of all success in battling with fire. This principle is expressed in the most important precept, jday Low. Throw your water not on the top of the fire, where it will be turned aside by roofs, floors, ' and other obstructions, or, touching the fire, will fly oil in useless vapor, but throw it at the lowest burning point, that the steam generated may at once ascend through the fire and smother it; throw the water at the lowest burning point, which is by its ascending heat encouraging the whole fire destroy first that ringleader of the riot.

AFTER YEA RS OF STUDY AND EXPERIMENT, DR. ROBACK, the eminent Swedish Physician, succeeded in prodiiciiip a medicine from twenty-three different mountain herb of hi native land, which acta 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 niuy be its character. Indigestion, nervous complaints, epileptic and other fits, coughs, consumption in its early siasres, sore throat, bronchitis, fever and ague, asthma, low spirits, sexual Incapacity, femenine weakness, pricking of lhe 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 matcriea morbi, or seeds of disease, what an alkali is to an acid : it neutralizes thorn with absolute certainty, while at the same time it rugulates the

secretions, 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 Puritler, which, if taken in con

junction with his Scandinavian Blood Pills, will not only ob

literate the most painful disease, but prevent their recurrence,

Dr. Roback Dear Sir : I have used your Blood Purifier for a nervous affection, from which I have suffered much at times. While it is pleasant to the taste, it certainly has a happy effect upon tho nerves. Please accept my thanks for your kind regards and believe me, Yours, J.W.T. McMullkn. Cincinnati, Friday, Sept. 4, 1R.57. Dr. Roback Dear Sir : Having been afflicted with neuralga" or rheumatism for the past year aud a half, and having seen your medicine, called the Scandinavian Blood Purifier, highly recommended by gentlemen with whom I am acquainted, I was induced to try it, but not before I hHd nsed various other medicines. After using two bottles, I felt its effect very sensibly, and upon using two more, 1 found myself perfectly cured, You will allow me, therefore, to congratulate you upon making a discovery in medicine which is proviug itself to be a worker of such wonders in the diseases of the human family.
