Compound Pitch Lozenge !
HIS Pitch Lozengc is like no other prepa-
ration in the market, and is brought into
competition with no other medicine. It stands
upon its own merits. Hundreds have used it
for Cows, Coucns, pain in the side, back,
shoulders, soreness of the breast and lungs, and
for CO.\'SL'.\Il’TIO.\', and found immediate relief.
Its use acts beneficially on every part of the
systcni, and makes strength and vigor take the
place of weakness and debility, and is admitted
to be the cheapest, most efilcient and pleasant
remer.l_v ever offered to the afflicted. Try it
f‘-aiihfiilly, always safe for the Infant or the In-
valid. Solalat 25 cents or 5 Boxes for $1, by

last, and favorite child. accomplished
what not years of haryh conflict and toil
could do--it gave to his brow a weary,
worn look, like that upon the counten-
ance of a soi-rowing, sufering man.-
And now he begins to talk of growing
old. He says most beautifully:
" As for me, long-tossed on the stormi-
est waves of doubtful conflict and In at-
duoul endeavor, I have 9: begun to feel.

that dear but,’ our home. And '30 I, in
the sober afternoon of life, when its sun,
if not high, is still warm, have bought
me a few acres of land in the broad, still
country, and, bearing thither my house-
from the city's labors and anxieties, at

The reader will gather from this ex-
tract that his home is away from the
noise of the town. He has a farm and
country residence in Westchester Coun.
ty, which he visits once or twice: week.
But we must give I picture of Horace
Greeley, in his editorial office. that the
contrast between the poor plough-boy
and the great editor, may be seen more
distinctly. There in nothing in the dress
or manner: of Mr Greeley to distinguish
him from a farmer. ‘Indeed, we are in.
clined to think that New England far-

position bybland and seductive manners
or by penonal charms. In spite qf a
careless, and perhaps unpleasant style of
due: and etiquette, he ia——what he is.
_ In visiting the Tribune establishment_
one should by no means be content with
an introduction into the editorial sanc-
tum. He should firet descend into sub-
terranean regions where the press work
of the Tribum is executed. A view of
the mammoth-press, which, with its iron
fingers, throweofi‘ ten thousand impres-
sion: an hour, will give him an idea of
the business of the establishment. It is
a press which has little rest, for the ag-
gregate circulation of the Tribune is
over 140,000 copies! Ascend to the first
floor, and view the place where the hu-
oineu of the paper is conducted- where
itsimmenne advertising patronage is re-
ceived and accounted f'or—where all bills
against the firm of Greeley 8; McEli-nth
are settled’! - Mount still higher, and see
the printers at their work. If it is day,
a busy scene presents itself, yet utter si-
lence pe,rvadu"tbe_ apartments. If it be
night, it in still the same--each case is
manned, and the work progresses under

day. Floor above flooi, is occupied by
the industrious printers, and the clerks
who each day send of tens of thousands
of papers, and one day in each week,
more than hundred thousand. But we
have not vinitedtbe place where the bur
ning thought: which are the life of the
Tribune, are put upon paper. It is in
the highest ltory‘ but one, fronting on the
Park.’ We first enter a long room front-
ing Spruce street, and extending to Nas-
nu street. Here the sub-editors work-
A row of them, each seated at his desk
and plying the pen or scissors industri-
ouoly, attract: our attention. George
Ripley, a fine, manly person, with dark
hair and darker eyes, sits at one. He is
the literary editor of the Tribune, the
book-critic. and one would hardly sup-
pose from his bland manners that his bu-
siness, like that of a surgeon, consists in
cutting people up! A book lies open be-
fore hiIn—he is marking passages for ex‘
traction, and to-inorrow morning we shall
read them in the moist pages of the jour-
nal, as wepip our coffee together, w‘’“
the critic’: remarks. Bayard Taylor,
perhaps sits at another desk, just return-
ed from a profitable lecturing tour, and
we stop to gaze at the brilliant young
traveller. Not far off sits white haired
" Solon”—Solon Robinson, the author of
" Hot Corn”—tho Agricultural and City
Item editor of the Tribune. VVe skip
the other editors in this room and pass
into a smaller apartment, looking out up
on the City Hall. The room is newly
carpeted—in one corner, there is an old
fashioned :ofa—-nay chairs, three or four
are to be seen, and in one corner at a
desk stands a slim black haired, brilliant
eyed man, in a pair of exceedingly old
and easy shoes. His name is Charles A.
Dunn, and he is editor-in-chief, when
Horace Greeley in out of town, and is
usually termed the foreign editor of the
Tribune. In another corner of the room
a man nits writing at a desk which isjust
even with his chin, so that while he
pushes his pen swiftly over the paper he
‘sits perfectly straight in his chair. He
is short-sighted, and his eyes hug the
desk. He in (strange looking mortal.
His head in almost bald, what hair there
is, «is of alight, sandy color, and is excee.
dingly fine. He is dressed—well we
-my as well speak ittight out--abomina-
bly. It is Horace Greeley, the Chief-ed-
itor of the Tn'bune,upon his throne! It
is the poor plough-boy. controlling the
grandest, the most powerful press in
America. He turns to welcome us, and
we notice that after all he has a fine face
a gentle look it ever wears. The eyes
are not harsh or bold, but mild and hon,
eat. And though his manners are not of
the‘ Lord Chesterfield stripe, they are
those of 1 man ’who values trifles less
than realities. His thoughts are bold
and striking-’—he has charity for an hon-
est opponent-—‘-if we differ from him up‘
on any point, we still not necessarily lose
his esteem, for though a man of fixed
opinions, he is not an egotist. Spite of a
thousand things which at first pre-posses-
med us against the man we like him better
and better, the more we ‘see of him and
hear him talk. Our opinion of his line]
leetual powers, and his moral qualities
of coune cannot be altered by any perso-
nal contact with the man. We have
known him as the invisible soul behind
the Tribune for yeare—and now _we
gaze upon——the Tribune made flesh and
blood!

mington Del.,» lays the following before
its readers:
"There is living in Tatnall street, a
colored man, aged 63, who is the father
of fifty-one children, thirty of whom are
now living. He had three wives; the
first of whom was the mother of fifteen
children, two of whom were twins. The
second was the mother of fifteen—hav-
ing twins three times; the latter, who
in still alive, has twenty-one children-—
having had twins five times. We Ven-

MIL'l.'0N’8 TOMB.
From Henry Tuck-erman’.v “ J1 Month in En-
_ gland.
Two minutes scarcely elapsed after I
rang the sexton’s bell at St. Giles’s church
Cripplegate,bcfore that personage usher-
ed me unbanely into the aisle. The roof
of the building is modern, but the dark
carvings on pulpit and choir indicate an
age of two penturies. I stood at the altar
where Cromwell and Ben Johnson were
married ; marked tliegpvavement beneath
which Fox, the aut_hoi_' of "The Book of
Martyrs,” is buried ; and read the inscrip-
tion on the Lucy vault——a family satir-
ized in the character of Shallow, and
which incamates for everlasting ridicule
the sapient justice who would have pro-
ved Shakspeare a deer-stealer. I exam-
ined the quaint old tomb of the historian
Speed; "and, from a window, looked up-
on a fragment of the Roman wall, the
greatest antiquity of London, hard by the
venerable Cripplegat__e,_,
Over against a familiar bust
marks the spot beneath which are the
mortal remains of Milton; and his epi-
taph is grand in its simplicity—‘-The au-
thor of Paradise Lost.” He and his fa.
therbefore him were attendants of this
church. How sublime to the imagina-
tion in this otherwise not remarkable fem-
ple where that beautiful head was bowed
in prayer; I recalled his image as it lay
in youthful beauty, one summer afternoon
on the green sward, under ‘the classic
trees of the college lawn, when a faith.-
dy hung entranced above the sleeper,
and left a scroll in his nerveles hand. I
saw him in his prime, conversing with
Galileo, and looking south, with all apo-
et's rapture, upon Val d’Arno from the
wooded summit of Fiesole. I beheld
him when time had silvered his flowing
hair, when sightless orbs uplifted, as his
fingers ran over the orange-keys, and the
calm of devotion softened the lines of
care and grief in that majestic counte-
nance.
The picture he bequeathed of Eden,
fragrant and dewy as creation’s morning
the forlorn glory of Satan, and the solemn
cadence of the verse that embalmed, in
perpetual music, the story of “ man's first
disobedience” came vividly back upon my
-_.—art beside his sepnlchre. Stern Crom-
well’s rugged visage grew mild and his
marriage response woke again from the
silence of years, and blithly sounded the
footsteps of rare old Ben, as he walked
again, with his beloved, in my. vision, up
that solitary nave. What. a changed as-
pect bears the world since Roger Wil.
liame talked with Milton of the prospects
of religious liberty in America, and the
latter plead for the freedom of the press;
and yet, ‘With all the triumphs of science
the revelations of the bard have lost not
a ray of their spiritual beauty ; his "high-
argument” remains in all itsoriginal sig-
nificance; his mighty song wake: the
soul today as when first its symphony
burst forth; intact career, unwavering
faith, and sustained elevation, reproach
the sordid and win the brave forever.
How Boys and Girls are Retired.
An article by Dr. Dixon, published in
The Scalpel some time ago, is just now
attracting some attention in the English
papers. It is on the early decay of
American women:-—
We give (says the doctor) the girl two
years the start of the boy, to make her
condition equal to his at the outset.
Both have endured the torture of banda-
ging, pinning, and tight "dress at birth;
both have been rocked, jounced upon the
knee, pap’d,, laudan'u'm’_d, paregoric’d,
castor oil’d, and suffocated, with a blank-
et. over the head,sweltered,with a cap
and feathers, roasted at a fire of anthra-
cite, and poisened with the foul air of an
unvemilated chamber, according to the
universal formula of some superanuatecl
doctor or inexperienced nurse; probably
both, for these people usually hunt‘ in
couples, and are verygracious to each
other. We give the girl enough start
to make up for the benefit the boy has
derived from chasing the cat, and an oc-
casionaltumble in the hall or the yard,
and the torture she hasendured from her
sampler, and being compelled to “sit up
straight,‘-’ and not to be a “ hoyden.”
Our little couple start for school with
such a minimum of lungs as the unnatu.
ral life they have led will allow, and a
stomach that is yet fresh enough to en-
dure bad bread, plum-cake, candies, and
diseased milk. The reader will remem-
ber that Nature is benficent, and will
endure much abuse, before she succumbs.
Well, they are off for school: observe
how circumspectly my little miss Wallis-
Soon she chides her brother for_be_ing
“ rude.” He, nothing dannted, starts
full tilt after a stray dog‘ 01’ Pig? and
though he often tumbles in the mud. and
his clothes get spoiled, the result is soon
visible in increase of lungs and ruddy
cheeks, He cannot run without more
breath; he cannot continue to run with-
out incre_ased dimension and power of
lungs; he cannot have large lungs with-
out good digestion; he will feel well and
thrive apace.
They are now at school seated on :1
bench without a haek,.and often with
their legs hanging down. so that the
poor back-bone has no- earthly support.
Thus sits the wretched child with book
in hand, from nine till twelve o'clock,
' creased in price
and sometimes until three. The boy,
with the aid of sticking a pin now and
then in his neighbor, and occasionally
falling from his bench from pure nervous
exhaustion, to the great relief of his half-
stagnant blood vessels.and torpid nerves,
endures it till another merciful pig or
dog chase makes him feel that he is
alive.
But our unfortunate liufe miss is in a
distressed condition. She is charged, to
walk “ straight home,” where she is al-
lowed to select her dinner from those 81’-
ticles that afford the least nutrition, such
as pastry, cake, rich puddings, and ap-
ple. This, by the way is her second
meal of the same character, having taken
one either at breakfast or lunch.
After dinner, she either sits down at
her sampler or the piano, and in all prob-
ability finishes the day's feeding with
tea and preserves. She is then posted
off to bed in an unventilated room, with
the door shut for fear the little darling
will take cold. A Nott’s stove or for-
nace keeps the upper chambers from 85
deg. to 100 dog., the feather bed and
blankets retain all the heat of the body’,
and swelter the wretched little creature
till morning. What wonder she gets
spinal curvature,-or that there are actual
deposits of - tubercles in the body of her
vertebrae or lungs! ~
Tale of the Times.
The following, which we find in a
City exchange, may be applicable, to
some extent, to other meridians:
" Do you feel in the sketchy mood ?
Lay down that volume of ‘ Hot Corn’ or
‘Fern Leaves,’ and go with us to a con-
ple of dwellings. One,a mansion sur-
rounded by tall houses, upon a wide
street, which is bright with the glare of
gas from an hundred drawing rooms.
The shadows of damask curtains and
lace hangings fall upon the pavement,
and the soft carpet within gives forth no
echo of the light footstep which crosses
it—the light footstep of a young girl who
runs to meet her father as he enters for
the eyenlng meal. She is deligeted to
see smiles on his face in the place of those
sour expressions which often clothed it
when stocks went wrong at the Second
Board. ‘ I’m so glad that you are pleas-
ed to night !”she says. ‘ Why shouldn’t
I be, my dear,’ he answers, the steamer
is in, and I hold fifty thousand barrels of
flour in different "villages and towns.
Flour is up a_ dollar a barrel !’ ‘ Then I
shall have my new piano,’ says one; and
‘ I myparty,’ cries another; ‘and I my
new set of silver,’ interposes the wife-
while the successful flour merchant be.
stows a kiss all round, and leads the way
to venison, quail, and current jelly in the
adjoining room.
The other dwelling is in a narrow,
dimly lighted street, which policemen
shun and highway robbers haunt. The
flicker of a candle comes from a base-
ment window, and by its uncertain
beams a couple of womén are stitching
-‘perseveringly. A sigh from one calls a
question from the other for its cause.
She pauses to thread her needle as she
says+‘ I have just been to the house of
Mr. the flour -merchant, and I
heard him say that breadstuffs had in-
Sighs number two and
three bring another rejoinder from quiv-
ering lips which speak of ii bedridden
"mother,_and from a heart which thinks
of the many heavy stitches it takes this
year to workup a barrel of flour for an
invalid’: wants. ’ 5 -
Yes—breadsiuffs have risen? Ye

. Nebraska.
The ‘information on Nebraska is mea-
great the most. Altogether the fullest
and most accurate account that has met
my eye, is-that to be found in the large
volume of Col, Fremont, containing re-
ports of his e-.\’pe<litio‘ns to California and
Oregon in 1842-3 and l. ‘D The volume
contains in addition to Fremom’s narra-
tive, reports on the botany of the coun-
try, by those having charge of these de-
partments; also, astronomical observa-
tions, &c. " Horn’s Overland Guide"
to California is a thin book,and its infor-
mation is confined to the routes pursued
by emigrants. Owen’s Geological Sur-
vey gives information on the Geology of
Nebraska, and Schoolctaffls large work
on the Indians gives full statistics on the
Indiantribes‘ ofthe territory; C ' I ' _‘
Nebraska is so named from one of its
three largest rivers, the Nebraska, or
Platte. According to the returns of the
last census, it contains 136,700 square
miles, or territory, as large as New
England, New York, and South Caroli-
na, It should be stated, however, taking
the Southern line at 37°, as Mr. Doug-
lass proposes, the Territory as thus or-
ganizedgiwill be much larger than the
portion that has usually been designated
as Nebraska, embracing a large portion
of Indian‘ territory, and most of the In-
dian tribes, except the Chocfaws, the
Creeks, the Chickasaws, the Seminoles,
»_ .»_v. -‘-5,-~:=~ »
and a portion of the Cherokees.
Nebraska, as proposed tobeorganized,
will be a vast region, having the various
climates that are enjoyed in Missouri,
Iowa and Minnesota, that lie on its not-
ern border; only the climate, like the
face of the country, is more Asiatic.-—
The eastern portion of it in chiefly prai-
rie and rich alluvial. The middle is
more sandy and barren, containing the
great American Desert; and the western
is mountainous, the highest mountains
being covered _with almost perpetual
snow.
The inhabitants of Nebraska may be
75,000, mostly Indians. The whites on
military men, Indian agents, and minion-
aries. Within a week paragraphs have
appeared in the papers, announcing that
a newspaper is about to be published at
old Fort Kearney, called the Nebraska
Democrat, and that a Post Ofiico is to be
established some forty milu from it for
the accommodation of emignnu-two
important elements to begin the work of
civilizing thetenitory.
Nebraska is and must ever be mainly
an agricultural region. It in far from
the oceans, and has no great lakes. The
Platte river, though from one to three-
miles wide, is only navigable for steam-
boatn forty miles. ‘
From what even the Indians hove ac-
complished in, agriculture. the country
seem to hold out great hope: to the for-
mer. The Indian: there are mostly sup-
ported by agriculture, and according to
returns before me, four tribes of Christian
Indians or. the Northern and Southern
banks of the Kansas, cultivate four thaw
sand acres. From these they raised, in
a. late year, so,ooo bushel: of com, 2690
bushels of wheat and 12,000 of oats.
4000 hogs, and 200,000 melons of differ-
ent kinds. They kept 600 working
oxen, and a large number of bones.-
The annual value of their products is
put down at $31,000, The number of
these Indians is placed at 2702.
The territory is not well wooded.
Poplar, elm, birch, willow, pines. white
oak, maple and other trees, are found
therein moderate numbers. The cotton
wood tree much abounds on the rivet.
Wild animals, such as buffaloes, deer,
wild horses, mountain sheep, prairie
dogs, wolves, elk, amelopel, abound in
this country. A
The territory is capable of supporting
a large population. The people are im-
patient to have an organised Territory,
that they may make State after State of
it. No wonder that the question, if that
is indeed the question, whether then
shall be free or slave lt8t¢l, should great-
ly excite the various sections of our land.

An Elegant Extract.
The Hon. A. Burlingame delivered I
lecture on the Mississippi Valley, at
East Boston on Thursday evening, the
9th ML, and concluded with the follow-
ing beautiful extract:
There is a land larger than the North-
west 'I‘erritory-—Iarger than the free
States excluding California, lying under
the latitude: of liberty, Men with the
best. ram of Heaven, drained by the fin-
est rivers in the world, waiting the and-
vent of one hundred million: of freeman,
dedicated to liberty by the plighted faith
of patriots from the north and south,nnd
a New England man cradled in Vermont
nurtured in the North-west under the
smiles of freedom, forgetting the mother
that bore him, ungrateful to the land of
his adoption in the Senate of the United
States, in the face of the world, with hot
haste, when no man prays for it by poti-
tion, seeks to abrogate the language by
which it has been given to freedom, the
language of the glorious old ordinance of -
1787 originally from the mind of the au-
thor of the Declaration of Independence,
and to doom it to woes and agonies of
slavery.
In the name of the poor man, when
heritage it is, 1 protect ; in the name of
humanity I protest. Let the declaration
go forth from old Faneuil_ Hall; let it
rise from every section of the Republic;
from the land of Henry to the land of
Adams; from the tomb of Jay ; from the
grave of Calhoun in the sweet shade of
the magnolia’.-' blossoms; from the gen-
erous soil of Kentucky wnich wraps the
manly form of Henry Clay; from these
shores by the sounding sea where the
great New England statesman is laid
down to rest, let the declaration go forth
let it ring from side to side; by every
gushing river; by every wind beaten hill
by every shining mountain-Nebraska
shall be free.
n?Kossutb’s last letter contained a
remarkable passage: “As to my na-
tion,” said he, " I declare solemnly. that
‘should we be left forsaken and alone to
fight once more the battle of deliverance
for the world, we will rather choose to
be Russians than to remain subject t0
the House of Austria; rather Submit 10
the open, manly force of the Czar, than
to the heart-revolting perjury of the
Hapsburgs; rather be ruled directly by
the master than submit to the shame of
being ruled by his underling. The fet-
ters of force may be broken once, but the
affection of a mortally wounded people
to a perjurious dynasty can never pe re-
stored. Russia we hate with inconceiv-
able hatred, but the Home of Hapeburg,
we hate and despise."
