THE WIFE'S APPEAL.
Oh! husband, husband, go not out
Again this stormy night.
For snow clouds have clad the earth
Within a robe of white.
Hark to the whistling winds that scream
Like fiends amid their glee.
And now, subdued, they seem to moan
A dirge-like melody.
Oh ! husband, husband, do not leave
Our 6re so .bright and warm.
To brave the darkness of the night,
And danger of the storra.
The fire it burneth pleasantly
Upon our tidy hearth—
We may be happy here to-night,
And join in songs of mirth.
Think of many joyous hours
We have together spent.
When to my grief, your gentle voice
A charm of music lent.
Think of the holy book we read
Ere we in prayer did bow.
And here it is, the same good book—
Come read it to me now.
Look in the cradle husband, look !
There sleeps our baby boy;
He wakes—he wakes, to look on thee,
And curls his lip in joy.
Oh! husband, go not out to-night—.
Thy wife, thy child entreat;
Our ev« shall be a pleasant one,
And our enjoyments sweet."
He heeds not to the fond appeal,
But thrusts his wife asida—
That gentle being, who had been
But one short year a bride.
He braved the snow—he faced the storm.
And journe> ed o'er the plain;
But never to his wife and child •
The drunkard came again.

Horace Greely in Washington.—A
A Washington letter writer tells the follow-
ing. in speaking of the Philosopher Greeley
at the Federal Capital:
A train of Irish servants were busily talk-
ing politics in the corner of the reading room.
(Irish servants are great politicians here.)
when one of them suddenly exclaimed:
Bejabers,boys. an' there's ould Greeley!"
t! Where V exclaimed his companions, with
as much interest in their looks as they would
naturally exhibit on being told that SU,Pat-
rick or Bishop Hughes wasbofbre them.
KStandm' yon by the table talkin' wid the
tall gentleman."
The Hibernian gazed curiously and inten
sely at Horace for an instant, when the young-
vsC\iV uppu.^.mj ai> 13 ur inipuimiior.,
With wonder in his Voice, observed :
"Sure an' he's a white man!"
"Av codrse he's a white man." said the
first speaker, in a patronizing tone, as though
Horace and he were the greatest of cronies.
"Well, "be.my sowl, I've been, decavcd in
the oald fellow, entirely," continued the
other, "I thought he was a nager."
Why should auy Man Swear t
lean conceive of no reason why he should
bnt may why he should not.
4 1. It is mean. A man of high moral
standing would almost as leave steal sheep
as swear.
2. It i3 vulgar, altogether too low for a
decent man.
3. It is cowardly; implying .a fear
of either not being believed or obeyed.
4. It is nngentlemanly: A gentle-
man, according to Webster, is well bread re-
fined; such a one will no more swear than
go into the streets and throw mud with a clod
hopper.
5. It is indeed, offensive to delicacy, and ex-
tremely unfit for human ears.
6. It is foolish; a wantof decency is a want
of sense.
7. It is aonsive to the mind which conceives
the oath, to the tongue which utters it, and to
the person to whom it is aimed.
8. It is venomous, showing a man's heart
to be a neal of vipers; and every time he swears
one'of them sticks out his head.
9. It is contemptible; forfeiting the respect
of all the wise and good.
10. It is wicked, violating the divine law
and provoking the displeasure of Him who
will not hold him guiltless who takes llo's
name in vain.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The continued squabbling in the House of
Representatives, and failure to organize, cans1
the President t> deliver his message to tl.e
Senate. An abstract of it will be found in
_ jeolumns. Greely of the Xew York Tri
bune, is in Washington, and is figuring to
secure the election of a Free-soil Speaker.
The steamship Northern Light was stopped
at New York last week on the charge of hav-
ing on board an expedition, intended to join
Walker in Nicaragua, and thus violate the
neutrality laws of the United States. Five
of the ailedged filibusters were arrested and
held for trial.
It appears to be an understood thing that
President Pierce will not recognize the Walk-
er Government in Nicaragua, and consequen-
tly Col. French will not be received as
minister.
Our latest advices from Mexico announce
the resignation of Alvarez as President, and
the discovery of anothercon«piracy at Pucbla.
which was suppressed by Government.
The steamer Pacific has arrived with a
week's later intelligence from Europe.
We have reports that Kars has been sur-
rendered to the Russians in consequence cf
t e garrison starving ou£7
Rumors of pease were still rife at last ac-
counts, although the reflective portion of the
community do not give credence to thein.
Gen. anta Anna is in Venezuela, and is
amusing himself with cock-fighting and other
w^dlnntufil
From Brazil, we learn that the cholera,
which prevailed to a great extent at cu - last
advices, has somewhat abated, and trade had
improved.
A heavy* storm prevailed throughout
the north and west lately, and a large
amount of damage was done, particularly in
the west.
The civil war in Kansas has come to an
end without a grand battle, which had been
anticipated.
At last accounts from Forts Kearney and
Pierre, the Sioux Indians were evincing great
anxiety for peace. The murderers of the
mail party had all been given up.
It was reported that Austria would address
an ultimatum to Russia, and would join the
allies if it was not acceded to.
The King of Sardinia had arrived in Lon-
don. where he was received with great en
thusiasm. The Baltic lleet was homeward
bound. There was a rumor that the Russians
had taken Kars.
The Government of Spain has lately made
some ; reat innovations upon the privileges of
the nobility and church.
We have no late news of any importance
from Mexico.
The Missouri Legislature adjourned on
the 13th inst., without electing a U. States
Senator. The different parties could not
agree, and so they mutually agreed to dis-
agree.
FE3IAI.E DEPARTMENT.
As the college was designed by its founders
education of females, as well as males, the trust4
so established therein, a regular collegiate course of
tndv for youRg ladies. A female school is already in
i)peiatiou^ connected with tho college, ami-under the
care of Prof. Hoot, with primary and academic classes.
This school will be continued: and as fast as the pupils
iu it shall be qualified to enter the collegiate classes,
they will be permitted to do so. Those young ladies
who complete the regular collegiate course, will be ad-
mitted to full graduation, attheannual commencements
the college; and will be entitled to an appropriate di-
ploma in testimony of the same. In this department*
in the other, the year will commence on the lirst
Monday of October, and be divided into two sessions,
with vacations as already above stated. The rates oi
tuition will be as follows :

Drawing and French, at the charges of the teacher.
fcy3* Good board can be had in private families, for
twelve to sixteen dollars per month. 1 he-principal of the
Female Department is willing to accommodate n few
young ladies in his family, in a commodious building
near the school room, where they will enjoy peculiar
advantages for study and improvement, at a hundred
dollars per session of five months, for board and tuition
in English branches—one-half the pay for board in ad-
vance. The collegiate classes, both male and female,
will be regularly organized on the first ot October next.
The institution is respectable provided with Chemical
and Philosophical apparatus, for the illustration of the
principles of Chemistry and Philosophy: and in view of
existing arrangements, the trustees ieei warranted in
-iiyiug. that the institution is now placed upon a per-
manent foundation, and is well worthy of iLe public
patronage and confidence.
THE GOOD TIME C03IE!
LET All PAIN-STRICKEN TIESH REJOICE.
However improbable it may appear to those that, have
never been blessed with a knowledge of the (Treat virtues
of the Oriental Life Lim>ie>-t. aqUhave been imposed
upon by being induced to buy aniose useless and inert
preparations, which afforded no ri^WTatid probably done
harm, there is a medicine which is not a huuibug; one
that is all that is claimed for it, i. medicine that when
given a fair trial, will perform allthut it advertises.
This valuable preparation is luioJrtfby the name of
ORIENTAL LIFE LINIMENT.
It is not contended that this Liniment is a cure-all,
but ic has given the most incontestable evidence that it is
the very best preparation known for the relief and cure
of all such diseases in man or beast, as require an exter-
nal application. For the relief and cure of Kheuinarism.
Sciatic, and wandering pains, there cannot be a better
preparation composed, of all the articles in the materia
medica, than is presented in the Oriental Lif-i l.iniment.
For Tetter, Ringworm, and Erysipelas, this Liniment is
peculiarly adapted, and may be used with the happiest
effect. To effect a speedy and permanent cure in cases
of Wounds, Curs, Sprains, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, or
Old Sores and Boils, the Oriental Life Liniment is abso-
lutely infallible, and in every case ^Qiere the Liniment
is used according to directions, awWnils to relieve or
effect a cure, the money will be refunded, upon applica-
tion of the purchaser. The Life Liniment is equally
efficacious in diseases of Horses and Cattle, such as
Splint, Spavin, Farcy, Nodes. Sweeny, Swelling. Fresh
Cuts, Wounds of any kind. Collar and Saddle Galls.
No farmer, or man of family, should be without this
Liniment in his house.
PRICE, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS PEil BOTTLE.
Recollect to call for the Oriental Life Liniment, and
take none except it has the engravetTportrait and fac-
simile signature of the proprietor on the outside
-wrapper, and the words, Dr. It. D. Porter's Oriental Life
Liniment, blown in the glass. All others are counterfeit.

What is a Mobmon?—A Mormon
is a living paradox; ho says grace before co
tillion, swears in his sermon, select his text
indiflerently from the Bible, the books of
Mormon, an almanac, or the President's mes-
sage, and is perpetually quarrelling for the
sake of peace. His religion is a joke, and he
makes the best storyteller a chief of the quo-
rum. He assumes dignities, but has not the
slightest respect for them ; and the effect of
his piety is apparently to put bim on a level
with the greatest reprobates of the time. In
short, he is a Latter Day Saint, or, in other
words, the last one yoa would think of cal-
ling a saint.
An Affecting Incident.—Among the
passengers on the ill-fated steamer Anthony
Wayne, was a Mr. Walters, who was on his
way from Chicago, Illinois, to Phil delphia,
Pa., with the remains of his wife. When
the explosion took place. Mr. Walters was
thrown to a considerable height, and fell into
the water almost lifeless. Struggling to kesp
afloat he accidentally struck against a box.
by means of which he supported himself
through that dark, dreary night. When
fcylight appeared, he found that the box
which had saved his life, contained the re-
mains of his wife! *
young Irish student at the vct-ri-
nary college being asked. '• If a broken wind-
ed horse were brought to him to cure, what
would he advice?" replied. "Sell him as <oon
as possible." 3[hig reminds us of the reply
of a gentleifpi of.^lhis city, when examined
for admition to the bir. The first question
propounded to him was,1'What is the fir-t
thing you would do in commencing a suit ?"
He replied, '• Charge a d—rrd big fee."
STEAMBOAT MEDIATOR BURNED.
' No Lives Lost.
Vicksburg, Jan. 5.—The steamboat Me-
diator wasburned last night, about II o'clock,
50 miles below this place. Passengers anil
crew all saved. Vv'e have no further parti-
culars.
The William Noble passed here at 7 o'clock,

At the election on the 15th, a riot oecnred
in Leavenworth between the Pro and Anti-
Slavery parties. The ballot-boxes were bro-
ken up, and the voting stopped. Tile dwel-
ling of an Anti-Slavery man was fired ; the
incendiary was arrested and lodged in jail,
but the jail was afterwards broken open and
the man set free. Another statment savs
that the Missourian3 would not allow the
polls to be opened in several places, but des-
troyed the ballot-boxes and maltreated the
Judges of the Election.
FROM WASHINGTON.
IIo3tile Appearance of Things.
Washington, Jan. 1.—Mr. Clayton, in
the Senate, expressed his approbation of the
round taken in the President's Message in
regard to our relations with Great Britain
concerning C'entnil American affairs, and was
for the American construct ion of the Clayton-
Bui wer Treaty. Cass said the honor of the
country demanded that we should insist on
our interpretation .of said Treaty. Well.-r
and Seward took the same ground, and a 1
were ready to support the Monroe doctrine f
the emergency required such a resort. Mat
ters look rather hostile. In the House ti e
receipt of the Message was somewhat like an
eirthqnake, none having suspicion that it
would be sent. After a very exciting debate
the House refused to receive the Mess ge.
and adjourned until Thursday without taking
any ballots for SjKjaker.

Remarkable effect of the It. li. Jiesolceni on
a girl given up lo die—one hundred dol-
lars paid for her recovery—the body all
covered with frightful sores :
W. B. F. Oliver, p. m. of Drayton. Dooley Co., wrote
under date of May fth, "That a very valuable
girl had been so afflicted and tormented with scrofulous
ulcers that there was not sound Hedi enough about her
body to lay a quarter of a dollar. She had been carried
home to die. Xo one iu Drayton who hail seen her
would give a dune for her life. Mr. Oliver, however,
persuaded her master to give bmjwhay's rexotatixg
resolvent. Mr. Oliver attempted tlie experiment.
Gave the Resolvent several times per day. In a few
hours she became stronger, iu a few days she felt
better. In tn-enty days she was snlirely cured, ami
was again about her usual duties, as happy and as
hearty as ever. Not a scar was left to disfigure her
"kin; her skin was smooth and flesh sound."
FIFTEEN MONTHS LATER.
On the ISth of August, lHo.fi/teeu months after this
wonderful cure was made, Mr. Francis Horlon wrote
us. that the generous master of the girl presented Mr.
Oliver with one hundred dollars for his attention on
the girl, andrec nimendiug tlie use of the R. R. Re-
solvent. The girl is in the full enjoyment of health.

R. R. REGULATORS.
A. New Principle in Medicine, never be-
fore kuowu ot possessed by any Purga-
tive, Cathjdpfcjiu: Anti bilious pills

tlie flood. Let all who
liave ever taken Pills ' *
r<~ad and investigate
tlie ITJietu-y .on , ,
wbich R ad-
way's Reg-
ulators
arc
founded.
the most perfect pills in dse,
And the only Pills lhat possess any new medical
properties, or Regulating;Power, tliat liuve been dis-
covered during the present century.
Tlie action of Railway's Regulators oil the human
system establishes a new principle in medicine, viz.
thai the blood cinnot lie purified by the direct or
specific action of any drug upon it. as an egg or piece
of isinglass purifies our coffee. We are aware thai
many learned doctors, writes on materia inedica, and
proprietors of popular medicine*, gravely assert this
doctrine, and recommend tlieir remedies to possess
this mysterious property of clearing the blood. We
deny that such is the fact, and we assert that no medi-
cine can purify the blood except through the medium
of the glands, viz. the liver, pancreas, skin, kidneys,
bowels. & c., which are the sewers that liatu'e lias
established for this purpose. Railway's Regulators
exert a controlling inlluence over these glands, com-
pensating for any unwarrantable action or sluggish-
ness 011 their part, by which the projicr amount of ex-
cretions is expelled "from the blood, leaving this fluid
iu its natural slate.
Radway's R gulators
Possess another important principle which no other
medicine, iu ihe form of Pills, ever yd possessed,
namely:—that f leaving the bowels and all other
organs iu the system regularaud healthy—alter they
operate.
Radway's Regulators
arc the most mild, eficetual. perfect purgative,
cathartic, aperient, anti-bilious Regulating Pills ever
discovered or given to the people. Thqy are ft great
family physic for gene.al use. ^ ^ . J
'Quick and pleasant in their action.
Mild and effectual 111 their operation,
Never sicken. Gripe, or Weaken the system,
Klegantly coated with Gum. perfectly tasteless.
They regulate, to a natural and healthy action, and
remove all morbid humors from the
Liver, Bowels, Kidneys, Glands,
Skin, Pancreas, Bladder. Lungs.
And purify the blood by Cleansing the Sewers of the
System and regulating every organ to a natural and
healthy action Those who desire health, should
search for the proper remedies to aid nature in ridding
their bodies ofdisease and infirmities.
Great Mistake of Pill Doctors.
The most popular Pills are deficient in their com-
position and medicial properties. Manufacturers of
the best vegetable purgative, or anti-bilious Pills of
the present century, have overlooked the most impor-
tant properties lhat Pilis should possess, viz. the Re-
gulating powers of their Pills. No one can enjoy per-
fect health unless each and every organ possess a
healthy and natural action.
Their Quick Action.
Radway's Regulators are prepared on the same
theory as Radway's Ready Relief to act quick and
to relieve the patient from the distressing ailments that
afflict the system immediately. As soon as the Regu-
lators are swallowed they begin their work of regula-
ting the system, and exercise over the diseased parts
a healty influence. If troubled with Coughs. Colds.
Influenza. Sore Throat, Colds in the Head. Hoarse-
ness, take from two to four ofR. R. Regulators, on
going to bed. and in the morning all ditliculty will be
removed. If troubled with costiveness, indigestion,
disease of the liver or kidneys, a few doses ofRadway's
Regulators wili remove the difficulty, and restore the
system to order, regularity and health. Radway's
Regulators are pleasant in their operation, are elegant
•ly coated with gum, never sicken or gripe the patient;
they are free from mercury calomel, and will sure-
ly restore the weak and siefly to health and strength
The Bowels.
Radway's Regulators do not act exclusively on thp
bowels by the force of their irritating properties, but by
their regulating effects upon the liver, pancreas, kid-
neys, and all other organs in the system, induce a
thorough discharge of both bile and pancreatic juic«
into the bowels, thus using nature's purgative, viz,
the bile and pancreatic juice, to operate 011 the bowel
Radway's Regulators are the only pills in use that
move the bowels in a natural manner; all other pur-
gative pills now in use move the bowels by their
irritating properties an the coats of the intestine:
the same manner that the bowels are moved by the
imtation of food catei that disagrees with the stomach:
and all.these scouring operations are attended \l*ith
great pain, and invariably leave the bowels costive,
and the system prostrated with feebleness and irregu-
larity
The following ailments Radway's Regulators will
quickly cure, and free the system from all irritating
humors, and leave every organ 111 tne body in a natural
and healthy condition:
