PARABLE TOR BUSINESS MEN.
# Than was once upon a time, a man who
kept itore and sold goods wholesale and
retail.
And he became melancholj, because cus-
tomer, were shy and times were bad.
And he said: Lo! I am being ruined, and
tk sensation is disagreeable.
Aad ay ruin is the more painful to bear,
became it is slow in progress, even as wa-
ter doth gradually become hotter in the pot
wkttws the lobster boiletb, until the crus-
taeeous creature ^shaketh out his soul in
jjjMQtish.
Lol it is better to be ruined quiskly than
to endure this slew torture.
I will give my money away to the poor
maa—even the poorest, which is he who
printeth newspapers, and I will shut up
shop, aad wrap myself in the sackcloth ol
desolation, and pass my days in the pur-
lieus of broken banks, cursing the hardness
of the times, and rending my garments.
And the bowlings of Kome shall be as the
duloet sounds of dulcinero, and they who
blow flutes and instruments of music, com-
pared to the din I wiil make in the ears of
the wicked—even in the ears of the bank
directors.
And even as he said, so did he; for he
was sot like other sons of men who are fool-
isk aadkapw it not, and say they will do
so and so, performing afterwards that
which is contrary. For the sons of men
are and he that is born of a woman
doth spite his face by diminishing the
length of the nose thereof.
iiui lol the printer—even he who did
publish newspapers—was made glad by the
* # bounty of him who sold wholesale and re-
tail; he did sound his praises, and he
djiblow the trumpet of fame respecting the
man's dealings, from the rising of the sun
& the going down thereof,
j£knd he—even the printer of papers—did
magnify and enlarge upon the stock of
* goods which the trader had in his store,
and d&l publish the variety, and the new-
ness, and the cheapness thereof, till the peo
pie yea I all of them'far and near, were
And said Lot this man has gathered from
the East and West, eostly merchandise and
i of wondrous value—even the work-
of cunning artificers, and we
►it not.
Goto then. We will lay out our silver
mm! our gold in those things which the
printer printeth of, and that which he doth
publish shall be ours. For this n^an's mer-
chandise is better than the bank notes ot
those that promise to |pay and therein lie—
even banks of deposit, which beguile us of
one money, aad swindle us like sin. m
But the trader was still sad, and he said,
the money that these people bring me will
I give to the printer, and thus will ruin my-
self ; I will do that which no man hath yet
done in my time or before me. I will make
the printing man, whom all men scorn for
his poverty,'rioh; he shall rejoice, and the
sens of men shall seek him in the market
place, and the sheriff shall shun him, and
the scoffers shall be rebukad, and take off
their hats to him who was poor.
For I will ruin myself, and he who ad-
vertiseth me shall enjoy my substance.
But lo! the trading man—even he who
sold merchandise, became rich, and even
as the unclean beast Jpth in the mire, so
stirred he not by reason of much gold.
And the people flocked to his store from
the North.
And from the South.
Aad from the East.
And from the West.
AlxUhe printer rejoiced, and his'fat
labor of the job after compensating the
crotchety projector for his idea. "Again he
remarks:
We would earnestly advise the numerous
sufferers by the crevasse fever—which ap-
proximates in some respects to brain fever
—to get together and form a society for
mutual relief and entertainment, and when
tired of the crevasse subject, (if that be
possible, )to take up perpetual motion, the
philosopher's stone, or some other great
and impossible intellectual problem."
P. S. Since compiling the above we find
the following in the N. O. Picayune of
Thursday:
The river here has receded at least ten
inches from its highest point, and now over-
flows but a very small portion of the steam
boat wharves. Business on the Levee is
begining to undergo a sensible decline and
is rapidly putting on its summer phase, but
the decrease this season will be much less
observable than usual, especially if the up-
per rivers maintain for any length of time
their present elevation.
The Bell and La Branche crevasses are
still admitting an uninterrupted flow of wa-
ter over the inundated lands, though for
some days past the Swamp Land "Commis-
sioners have had it in contemplation to
make a renewed attempt to close the latter
of these now formidable breaches. What
their final decision has been we have not
learned. Possibly the refusal of the State
Treasurer to foot the bills incurred at the
Bell crevasse may have a protracting influ-
ence on their deliberation.
TEXAS ITEMS.
But the trader eould not become poor;
aad his melauoholy ceased, and the smiles
of happiness were on his face.
Aad bis children became mighty in the
land, by reason of the dollars which the
people who read his advertisements, had
poured into that trader's money bag.
TEE GREAT CREVASSE.
Waatof time and space have prevented
more than a passing notice of the Crevasse
which occurred on the plantation of Mr.
Jno. M. Bell on the 11th of April.
Many of oar readers know that, for hun-
dred* of milse above the mouth of the Mis-
sissipi, the adjicent lands are preserved
from inundations by Levees, aggregating
in their grass length to some 1200 miles.
* ■ to form an idea of the magnitude
of this system of embankments it should be
remembered that the total cost of their con-
struction has not been less than $6000 000,
and with necessary repairs Ac., they have
probably considerably exceeded our figures.
Louisiana has some 16,000 square mile#
of fertile alluvial beds, lying, more or less,
belcw the surface of the river when it is at
its SMHinm height. Despite these vast and
costly Levees, erected to preserve the culti-
vated portions of these lands, the waters
occasionally become unmanageable, and
breaking the embankments spread devasta.
Hon around about. '
New Orleans has suffered from crevasses
sens five Uses, according to the Picayune,
to whose eanfal account we are indebted
for seme of the facts in this article. These
visitations have occurred in 1786, '91, '99,
1816, aad '49. Though the river has been
higher than since 1847 during the
season, care and watchfulness have pre-
served New Orleans from overflows up to
this time, aad no apprehensions are enter-
tained at that point.
The'stvarags velocity of the river from its
source to outlet is from 60 and 70 miles per
day. Freshets at remote sources reach its
mouth in two months. Along the lower
Mississippi, the water commences rising in
Februaiy and subsides about June. When
a Crevasse occurs the water rapidly pass-
ing the breach spreadaover the low er plains,
with its diminishing velocity depositing the
heavier particles near the river and the
finer atoms further along, thus increasing
tfeb fertility of the lands. Th^ Picayune's
account says:
"The plantation of Mr. Bell, is situated
about two miles above the upper limits of
the city, on the right bank. The river had
been gradually msing, and on the night be-
fore there had been a heavy storm of wind
aad rain which caused the wash along the
•idee of the "big drink" to be much higher
thaa usual. It appears that through the
Levee at this poiat there was formerly a
Wooden sluice, enclosed on all sides, In re-
pairing th. Ix** after this sluice was re-
moved aad the place which, it had
pied was filled with earth. But the
dees net appear to have been packed with
snWstent solidity, and when the river rose
to its greatest height it found the weak
•pot, aad having once forced a passage it
conttnwsd to widen the gap with a might
■■d fary which were wholly irresistable."
It would eeem the forces of neighboring
planters jstoMi to Mr. Bell's lands were in
adeqtwto to close the breaches. Not only
was this plantation submerged, but cross
ing % neighboring canal ud embankment
the waters swept on over plantations and
TillaqM further down, earryingdevastation
for Miles. The damagss foot up to four or
fivs aHfions for no sugar crop can be made
en the submerged plantation, for a couple
of years. /JTh. first effort to close the break
as —'W the subsequent attempts of
scientim - gentleman proving unsueeeeeful
the effort was at last reluctantly aband-
oned. The crevasse being near the city
was visited by thousands.
A similar crevasse occurred on the plan
tation of Madame Labranche about the time
the efforts to close the Bell crevasse were
abandoned, and it is feared the two may
unite and thus spread their area of havoc.
The Bell crevasse submerged several miles
of the Opelousas K. R., and another sec-
tion has been overflowed by the Labranche

There is generally a ludicrous side to ev-
ery thing. The crevasses have produced
a mania in the heads of certain wiseacres,
who during the fruitless efforts to stop the
breaches have been prolific in their explan-
ations of original diagrams of projects for
its cheap stoppage. The Creseut's city edi-

Gross and vulgar minds will always pay

How beautifully the high wrought soul is
personified in these lines:
"In vigils lone she hears the chimes
Of voices from diviner climes,
And sees entranced the statues grand
That throng her lofty father-land ;
Unwonted odors strange and rare
Float round her on the midnight air,
From gardens where her youth was spent
Beyond the dark blue firmament.
"The fleshly walls are white and thin,
Which close her yearning spirit in—
Celestial footfalls she can hear
Inaudible to grosser ear;
She mourns her let like one exiled,
Her songs are filled with longings wild
For home, and the serenw day
Which lights the angels far away."

The following, from the German, is veTy

A child sleeps under a rose bush fair,
The buds swell out in the soft May air;
Sweetly it rests, and on dream-wing flies
To play with the angels in Paradise.
And the years glide by.
A'maiden stands by the rosebush fair,
The dewy blossoms perfume the air;
She presses her hand to her throbbing breast,
With love's wonderful rapture blest.
And the years glide by.
A mother kneels by the rosebush fair,
Soft sigh the leaves in the evening air;
Sorrowing thoughts of the past arise,
And tears of anguish bedim her eyes-
And the years glide by.
1 Naked and. lone stands the rosebush fair,
Whirled are the leaves in the autum air,
Withered and dead they fall to the ground,
And silently cover a new madfe mound.
i And the years glide by.

Venerable Kit North has asserted that—
" One moral saying in articulate speech,
one heaven-descended precept, whether in
verse or rhyme, is worth, in sterling valne,
all that either music, painting, or sculptor,
has ever contributed to the advaqtnge of
mankind." ,
We, an humble individual, assert our
opinion, that one moral deed worthily done,
ope noble, Christian heroic example, whether
by tie poor man or the rich man, the learn-
ed or the unlearned, the famous or the ob-
scure, is worth all the " moral sayings,"
tho' never so sweetly said, all the " pre-
cepts" ever written,—and that music, paint-,
ing and sculptor are indebted to deeds, not
words, to facts,—which are but the embodi-
ment of grand ideas,—for all they have con-
tributed to the advantage of mankind.'
Other folks can of course believe this or not.
CoL Benton, like Clay, Webster and
others who devoted his life to the service of
his country, died poor. Though widely
differing with CoL Benton on* many politi-
cal topics, we wish that his "Abridgement of
the Debates in Congress" might bring his
family something commensurate with their
distinguished author's industry and talent.
Everybody has "heard tell" of Elihu
Burritt, the Blacksmith, whom a little
learning has made a fool of. The St.
Louis Leader thus hits off this little great
man—this literary "Mr. Bounderby" :
"We have the honor of knowing this
famous erudite; and we can safely say that
we have seldom met any person who had
les3 need of a language in addition to his
own vernacular, very poorly spoken, to ex-
press his ideas in. The only difference
that we could discover between the philo-
logical attainments of Elihu and a clever
Poll parrot is, that Poll learns tongues by
speech, and Elihu by pocket diction-
ariSs. Both understand the dialects they
profess about equally well. Elihu reads
his tongues the better; Poll speaks them
fhe better. As statesmen, and especially
as editors, they would be much upon a level.
We have seldom, though not a little con-
versant with human silliness, had the satis-
faction-to converse with any weaker person
than. Mr. Burritt. We talked with him upon
his favorite subject, Universal Peace ; and
found his notions about it not beyond those
of a child. The same of Emancipation and
everything else he prates about. We have
no doubt but that he was, ig a pre-existent
state, an exceedingly green and voluble
parrot."
Nothing is lost." How well this truism
is expressed in these stanzas:
Nothing if lost; the drop of dew
Which trembles on the leaf or flower,
Is but exhaled to fall anew
In summer's thunder shower ,
Perphance to shine within the bow
That fronts the sun at fall of day;
Perchance to sparkle in the flow
Of fountains far away.
Nothing lost; the tiniest seed,
By wild birds borne on breezes blown,
Finds something suited to its need,
Wherein 'tis sown and grown,
^he language of some household song,
The pqrfume of some cherished flower,
Though gone from outward sense belong
To memory after hour.
PRINTERS' PROVERBS.
1. Never inquire thou of the Editor for
the news, for behold it is his duty, at the
appointed time, to give it unto thee without
asking. .
2. When thou dost write for his paper,
never ask him "What thinkest thou of my
piece?" for it may be that the truth would
offend thee.
3. It is not fit that thou shouldst ask of
him who is the author of an article upon
subjects of public concernment, for duty
requires him to keep such things unto him-
self.
4. When thou dost enter tfce printing
office, thou shouldst avoid loud talking,
and have a care unto thyself that thou dost
not touch the type or the press, for thou
mayest cause the printer much trouble.
5. Look thou not at copy which is in the
hands of the compofitors, for that is not
meet in the sight of the printer, and he
might knock thee down.
5. Never examine the proof sheets, for
it is not ready to meet thine eye, that thou
mayest understand it.

FROM OU- EXTRA OF SATURDAY.
GREAT INDIAN FIGHT!
% COHHAICHES KIUED!!
300 Horses Taken!
From the Dallas Herald Extra, of May
24th, we have the following glorious news:
Capt. Ford's men have made heroes of them-
selves. The Indian force was 300 warriors.
That of Capt. Ford was 111 Rangers, 110
Reserve Indians, and a small detachment of
2nd Cavalry, under Cd|tt. Ross:
]special correspondence of the dallas
• Hebald.]
Belknap, May 19th, 1858.
Deae Hkrald :—An express has just ar-
rived trom Capt. Ford's command, bringing
the gratifying intelligence that the Coman-
ches have been defeated with great slaugh-
ter, by the Rangers and Indians under
Captains Ford and Ross.
The Rangers came up with the Indians on
the 12th inst., in the Wichita mountains,
and immediately engaged. The only par-
ticulars given by the express are that 76 In-
dians were killed and 11 taken prisoners.
Of the Rfcugers, one was killed, and some
five or six wounded. Of the friendly Indi-
ans, one killed, and several wounded, but
how many is not stated. There must have
been a great many Cotnanches wounded, but
the express does not state.
Two hundred and fifty horses were taken
from the Comanchcs, and last, but not least,
the great Mogul of their tribe, their princi-
pal chief, Iron Jacket, was killed and his
scalp brought in. In great haste,
Yours, &c. S. H. J.
P. S. —By a later arrival, I have received
some additional particulars—some four or
five hundred horses were taken. In return-
ing the Rangers and friendly Indians sepa-
rated^ Capt. Ross bringing 250 of the hors-
es with him, and Capt. Ford taking the re-
mainder.
Iron Jacket, it seems truly deserves his
ut.me, for he had a complete suit of iron or
st.-el armor upon him when he led the
charge in the battle, and it was perfectly
impervious to balls of any kind. He was
shot at a number of times by a Tawakahie,
whose name I have notlearned, and not un-
til his horse was Bhot from under him and
his armor torn off, did the Tawakanie suc-
ceed in killing him and scalping the redoubt-
able chief.
The battle was done up-in regular style,
both parties having been drawn up in line,
the charge being made by the Commanches.
Capt. Ross states that his Indians fought
admirably, the only trouble he had being
to restrain them sufficiently, and to keep
them in line.
By next mail I will send a particular ac-
count of the battle.
Scarcely a night passes but what some
horses are stolen in this county, notwith-
standing every precaution is taken to pre-
vent it. Gen. Tarrant had his carriage
horse stolen two nights ago, and it was tied
on'y a few yards from the house Some
contend that the Indians come even into the-
toyn at night, and I believe it, for there
was a horse belonging to Mr. Walker taken
last night from the place where it was tied,
on the edge of town. This morning about
7 o'clock, two Indians were discovered at-
tempting to steal Mr. Gibbens' horses. They
were immediately pursued by Mr. Gibbens
aqd two or three others, and in less than
twenty minutes the County Rangers were in
pursuit also; but the Indians doubled like a
fox and got away. They were on foot and
could not be tracked. . Their track was
discovered this afternoon and a party
started in pursuit. •
When I write again, I think I will have
something to tell of the exploits of our reg-
ular army, "the Belknap Rangers." Near-
ly all of them are experienced woodsmen,
several having been engaged heretofore in
Indian fights. Yours, &c.,
S. H. J.
®& The citizens of Young county have
been driven by necessity, to protect them-
selves against Indian depredations. At a
recent public meeting they resolved to
raise a company, of Minute-men to act as
scouts, to consist of 24 white men and 5 In-
dians. The citizens agree to pay the men
§1' per day and one ration, and a subscrip-
tion has been raised for this purpose.—The
officers of the company are
W. N. P. Marlin, Captain.
Patrick Murphy, 1st Lieutenant.
H. George, 2d Lieutenant.
How long will this state of things contin-
ue!
P. S. We have just received an Extra
from the Austin Gazette office, containing
the official reports of the battle. There
were 76 Indians killed in the two engage-
ments, 18 made prisoners, and over 30u
horses taken. The number of wounded In-
dians was large, but how many could not
be ascertained. We will give the official
report of {he battle on Monday.

A'ewly Discovered Remedies.
A cure Guarantied in all
cases% whet* within
the power of
Remedies.
THE unparalleled success which has attended
these REMEDIES in all parts of the U. States
and Europe, the many remarkable cures they have
effected which were pronunced incurable by the most
eminent Physicians, justifies me inofl£ring them to
the confidence of the unfortunate. The following
are some of the diseases termed ' i rivate," all of
which these remedies permanently eradicate, vis*
Syphilis, primary, secondary and tertiary; Una
thral Discharges, Gonorrhoea,Gleet, Noctur-
nal Emissions. Periodical Affections of Females
nowever complicaied they may be; Diseases of the
Back and f ions. Inflammation of the Bladder
and Kidneys. Rheumatism, Hydrocele, Cancers,
Ulcers, Tumors, and all diseases of the skin.
Strictures cured without the use of the Bougie
or any iastrument
Dr. J ames would also call the attention especially
of those who have privately and improperly injured
themselves in that secret and solitary habit whict
ruins the body and mind, unfitting them for eith« -
business or society, vis: Constitual Debility or Itn-
potency. The following are some or the sad ana
melancholy effects produced by early habits ofyo th
vis: Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pain in the
Head Dimness of Vision Loss of Muscular Power.
Palpitation of the Heart, Dispepsia, Nervousness,
Irritability, Symptoms of Consumption, etc. Men
taliy. the fearful effects on the mind are more to
dreaded. Loss of Memory. Confusion of Ideas c-
pression of Spirits Evil foreboding, A^ersi to
Society, Self-Distrust. Love of Solitude, T midity
etc.. are some of the evil Droduced.
All persons afflicted with any of the a' >re nrinp
toms should not fail to call on Dr Jam , and tie at
once restored to perfect health. Let no false deli*
cacy prevent you, but apply immediately, and save
yourself from the awful and dreadful consequences
of this terrible malady Weatcness of the organs
immediately cured, and fall vigor restored.

In the way of General News, we gather
that % ministerial crisis is imminent in Eng-
land. Motions of censure of the present
Government have been introduced in both
Houses of Farliment. Lord Ellenborougli has
resigned. Lord Palmerston and Lord John
Bussell, are said to have overthrown the
present ministry by their united efforts.—
The House of Commons had restored the
clause sticken out by the House of Lords
from the Jewish Oaths bill, allowing them
to take the oath, without adding on the true
faith of a "Christian" on election to Parli-
ment. Sir Henry Bulwer, bart., has be«fi
appointed Minister to Turkey, vice Lord
Stratford de Redcliffe, resigned. The French
Government are said to have the new law
for public Safetry under consideration for
important modifications. India news unim-
portant.
The Tennessee arrived at New Orleans on
the 24th with VeraCrui advices to the 21st.
Admiral Zerman was a passenger. Ship-
ping in Vera Crnz consisted of one Spanish
brig, and the American bark Wildfire, Capt
Campbell, which arrived from New York,
the day the- Tennessee left. Communica-
*tion for mails and passengers with the in-
terior was uninterupted, but freight was
not attempted to be conveyc d. Vera Cruz
had been blockaded for three days by the
Mexican war-steamer Guerrero, but on the
17th, she went north for fuel. It is said
that the Zuloaga Government had declared
all Mexican ports closed to commence.
"On Gen. Marin, of thesteamship Guer-
rero, announcing to Com'r Geoffroy, of the
French brigantine of war "La Peyrouse,"
that he had blockaded that port, this officer
observed that the blockade was attempted
in a very unusual manner, and that until
he received instructions from the Frercli
minister in Mexico he should take under
his immediate protection French merchant
vessels, which might be on the way thither ]
and ignorant of the steps taken to blockade !
the port."

OPENED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
THIS Establishment is intended mainly
for Adults—Ladies and Gentlemen,and
Souths, whose time is very valuabl, and
it is so arranged that persona who wish to learn
the English, French, Spanish, German or Italian
languages: or Penmanship. Book-Keeping, Math-
ematics, Phonography, etc., in a practical manner,
as used in business and every day life, csn do so
in the shortest possible time, as there are special
Professors and apartments for each branch.
None but the best and most experienced Profes-
sors and Assistants will ever be engaged. There
are nine apartments—a Reception Room elegantly
fitted up for visitors, so that pupils are never inter-
rupteu in their lessons; and an apartment for the
pupils of each Professor; and also,practicing rooms,
so that pupils taking the full course in any one of
these branches, can have ten hours1 practice each
day.
All branches are taught as they should be prac-
ticed i i business and every day life. The English,
French, German and Spanish are now the commer-
cial languages of the world, and the social, literary
and scientific languages of the greater part of Eu-
rope and America, are daily becoming more impor-
tant to all persohs. Pupils will be exercised in
Reading, Writing and speaking any lang^ge they
may wish to learn.
Jf]/3 Board can be had with families speaking any
of these languages.
No institution in the United States offers so great
facilities for the acquisition of the living languag-
es and a practical education as this. From 3UO to
400 attenj} it annually.
These and other modern languages will be trans-
died at this institution.
No pain or expense will be spared to make all the
departments^rorthy of the confidence of the public.
Twenty or thirty young men will be qualified as
Teachers of my system of Penmanship They will

in the United States; a id besides, Mexico Cabu and
South America cou<d employ as many more.

CELEBRATED
German Bitters,
PRKPA.RED BY
DR. C. M. JACKSON,
German Medicine store.
JVo 120 Arch St , ofte door below Sixth, Phila.
Their power over the above diseases is not ex-
celled, if equalled, by any other preparation in the
United States, as the cures attest, in maty, cases af-
er skilful physicians had failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention of Inva-
lids. Possessing great virtues in the rectification
of the liver and tesser glands, exercising the most
searching power in weakness and affections of the
digestive organs, they are withal safe, certain and
pleasant.
TESTIMONY EROM TEXAS.
B. F* Rucker. Washington, Texas. Sept.,
24th. 1853,says: 441 have sold the last bottle of Ger-
man Bitters to-day. It is quite a popular medicine,
and those who have used it speak in the highest
terms of its salutary influence."
S. W• Flatter* Matagorda,Texas, July 15th,
1853, says: **The Oerrnan Bitters have become ve-
ry popular here and are moving off rapidly."
T. ti. mcjJlalton 6c Co. Richmond, Tex-
as, Sept., 22, IS52, says : "We are pleased to inform
you that your German Bitters give niv®rsal satis-
faction. It is in great demand. d as early as
practicable.'1
Geo. Young, Wheelock, ^exas, April 17th,
1854.says: "The German Bitter* ave arrived in
good time for the summer sickness, and I think
there will be a good demand for them.as I find ev-
ery person who has used thempronou« ced itthe best
medicine of the kind they have ever nown.*'
These Bitters are entire, vegetable, thereby
possessing great advantage ovtr most of the prepar-
ations recommended for similar diseases.
