That ns Prolnpsus L'teri is n displnecmciit, or "fulling" of this orgnn, it necessarily involves a like descent, or ilt-ayyiny oftho Hcarl, Lungs, Stomach, and Botvels, nud that ono fundnmenlal condition of cure in nil these eases, is, the nppli¬ cation of such a Physiological brnce, or supporter, ns tvill most effectively brace the weak bnck nnd viithont comj,ression, ussist the relaxed and over¬ taxed muscles in performing their nnlural oflicc of lifting, nnd hotiUng in their plaee, the drugging viscern of the Chest nud Abdomen from the de¬ pressed Uterus.

The stormy Mareh is como at last,
Wilh tvind, and cloud, and changing skies ;
1 hear the rushing of the blast.
That througii the siiotvy vallies flics.
All. passing fciv arc they who speak.   ¦ Wild, stormy moiitli, in praise of tbco;
Yet. though thy winds are loud and bleak'. Thou art a ivelcome moulh to me.
For thou, to nortliern lands again
The glud and glorious sun dost bring,
And thou hnst joined the gentle Irnin, And wear'st the gentle name of .Spring.
And, iu thy reign of blast and storm. Smiles many a long, lirighl, sunny day.
When the changed winds are .soft aud wnrm, Aud heaven puts on the blue of May.
Then sing aloud thc gu.sliing rills.
And thc full sjiriiigs, from frost set free,
Th.it, brightly leaping duwn the hills. Are just set out to meet the sea.
The year's departing beauty hides Of tvinlry storms the sullen threat;
lifll ill thy sternest frotvii abides A look of kindly promise yet.
Thou liriug'st the hope of those calm skies, .\ntl that soft lime of sunny .shotvers,
When the wide hloom, on earth that lies, Seems ofa brigliler ivnrld than ours.
the Bible ns an ocean, whoso floor is covered with tlie most costly gems, and where the man lhat dives oftcnest nnd deepest will come np la¬ den with the richest treasures, the most pre¬ cious ponrls.
Forget not how much we otve to the Bible. Tt secures onr civil liberty—it proclaims the rights cf conscience—it elevates woman—it civilizes nntions—it converts individuals—it blesses fnmilies—it saves souls I "It is the Bible oflhe poor and lowly—thc crutch of the nged—the jiillotv ofthe widotv—the eye ofthe blind—the 'boy's own book'—the solace ofthe sick—lhe light of the dying—Ihe grand hops and refuge of aimple, sincere, and sorrotviug spirits. It is this tvliich nt once proclaims its unearthly origin, and .so clasps it to the great common heart of liumanily, that the extinction ofthe sun w-cre nnt more mourned than thc exliiielioii of the Bible, or than even ils rece¬ ding from its present pride of place."—G/Z/i?/- aiis Bards of the Blblr.
Oil, how tvretched tvould be our eondilion, if tvo were notv lo be deprived of this blessed hook I The Sabbath School niight as well bc closed and the sanetunry be deserted. If wn had losl the Word of God, no wisdom would be in us—tve should then have to say, "Wo must navigate the ocean of life, but the pole slnr is hidden, the chart is lost, thc needle is neotral- izcd, the helm is destroyed, tho sheet-anchor has gone ! Yonder is the tvhirlpool, and what isto-prevciitour being draw-n tvithin the vortex? There nre the breakers, and tvhnt ean save us from being driven upon llicin 7 Wc are in the neighborhood of sunken rocks and treacherous slioals, and darkneds is around nsl w-c musi be lost." .\li! such would bc the conclusion to which we must be driven, if tvo had no revela¬ tion of God; bnl to us this Word of salvation has been sent, and tvo can notv read it, so as to be saved ourselves, and so lench its truths to others, that tlicy mny bc saved also.
Uo yon, tvliile engaged in this tvork, some¬ times feel oppressed with a senso of your otvn feebleness? Then remember it is wrillen, The Lord "giveth power to the faint, and to them lhat havo no niig'.il he increases strength." Learn a lesson on this point from one or tw-o facts connected with natural history.
The comparnlive strength of tho insect has ever been a subject of admirntion and wonder lo the naturalist. The muscular power of these little creatures, in relalion to their size, fnr ex¬ ceeds thnt of any other animal. The litlle grasshopper, for instance, will spring two hun¬ dred timoe the Iciiglh of ils otvn body. The dragon Ily, by the strength of ils wing, will suslain itself in the air during a long summer's dav, witli unabated speed. The common bouse fly will make six hundred strokes with ils wings in a second, which curries it to a dislance of five lect. Notv, all this po»-cr conies tu them from on high; and will not He who qualifies llicm, also enable you. Forget not 'lis tvritten, "They that know the Lord shall be strong, nnd do cxploils." It is by tveak things that the Lord confijuiids lhe mighty; and by things that are not Ho brings to nought things that arc.
Isit your aim to save souls? Thon labor earnestly, intelligently, hopefully, wltli this Gospel in your hands, with its blessed truths abiding in your hearts. Thus you will be tvise to tvill souls; thus you will not lubor in vain, nor spend your slrenglh fbr nought; thus you will upprove yourselves unto God, be ncknowl- cilged as llia faithful servants, and have nn abundant eiitraneo administered unlo you in¬ to His everlasting kingdom, where you will have a crotvii bright with the glories that beam from unshrnuded Deity, nnd share a throne whidi, through the ages of eternity, w-ill neith¬ er totter nor crumblo into decay.

Hotv to Subdue a 'Vicious Horse.
On looking over some old papers the olher day, tve came across the folloiving, wliieh, if true, is worth knowing. Il seems that a fruit¬ less elTort wus being mnde in a blacksmith shop to shoe a vieious horse, whicii resisted all clTurta, kicking aside every thing bul an anvil, and came ncar killing himself againsi that; when, by mere accident, an oflieer returned from Mexico wns passing, and being made ac¬ quainted tvith Ihe dilTicully, applied a complete remedy by the following simple process :
lie took a cord about the size of a bed-cord, put it in the inouth of the Iiorse, liko u bit, and lied it tightly on the tup of the nnimnl's head, pnssing his left cnr under the string, not pain¬ fully tight, but tiglit enough lu keep the ear dotvn, and the cord in its plucc. This done, he patted the horse geiilly on ihe side of the hcnd, and commanded him to follow, and in¬ stantly the horse obeyed, perfectly subdued, and as gentle and obedient as a v/ell trained dog; sulTering bis feet to bo lifted wilh impuni¬ ty, and acting in all respects like nn old singer. The simple string, thus tied, had made him at once ns docile nnd obedient as any one could desire. The gontleman who thus furnished this exceedinglv simplo means of subduing a very dangerous propensily, intimated that it is practised in Mexico and South Ameriea in thc anagcment of ivild horses. Be this as it ay, he deserves the thanks of all oivners of such horses, and especially thc Ihanks of those wlio.se business it may bc to shoe or groom the aninials.— Thc Plough, Ihe Loom antl Anvil.

Slaving for Money.
We pity tho man tvho tvcars out his energies in tho accumulation of riches, which, tvhen amassed, hu will have lost thu cnpacity to en¬ joy. Ho finds himself at his otvn feast, without an appetite for its dainties. The tviiie of life is w-nstcd, nnd nothing remnins but the lees.
Thc tvnrm sympathies ofhis henrt hnvo been choked by tho inexorable spirii of avarice, and they cnnnot bo i-csuacilatcd. The fuuntaiii- head ofhis enlhusiasm is sealed; ho looks at nil things in nature and in art tvith tho eye of cnlculation; hard-ninller-of fnct is the only pa¬ bulum his mind can feed on, the elastic spring of impulse is broken; the poetry of existeiico is gone.
Arn weallh and position nn equivalent for these losses? la not the millionaire, who hns acquired wenllh at such n cosl, a miserable bankrupt? In our opinion there is littlo to choose on the score of tvisdom beltveen the in¬ dividual who recklessly squanders his money as hc goes nlong, in folly and extravagance and the false economist who denies himself the tvliolcsomo enjoymenls oflife, in order to stvcU the treasure, tvhich, in the hardning process of scraping up, he had become too mean to spend, ami too sellish lo give atvay.
The only national wuy to live, is to mix la¬ bor with enjoyment—a streak of fai and a streak of lean. Thcro is uothing like a streaky life—a, plensnnt ini.xture of exertion, thankful¬ ness, love, jolity, aud repose. Thoman tvho slaves for riches makes a. poor retum to that God who took the troublo of making him for a better purpose.

Rothschild "Short."
There is a good story told recently of Raron Rothschild, of Paris, the richest man of his class ill the world, ivhich shott-s that it is not only *'money which makes the mare go,'' (or hor.sc eiihcr, for that nialter.) but ''ready mon¬ ey," 'unlimited credit' to the conlrary noln-ith- slanding.
On a very tvel nnd disngreeable day, the P.a- r-m louk a parisian omnibus, on his tvay to the Bourse, or Exchange, near whieh Iho "Nabob of Finance" alighted, and was going aw.-iy tvithout paying. Thc driver stopped him, nnd demanded his fare. Rothschild felt in his pocket, but ho had not a "red cent'' of change. The driver tvas very wroth.
"Well, what did you get in for, ifyou could not pay. You must have kiiotvn that you had no nioney."
"I am Baron Uolhschild," exclaimed the great capitalist, "and there is my card."
Tho driver threw the cnrd into tho gutter.
"Never heard of you before," said the driver, "and don't tvaiit lo hear of you ngain. But I want my fare, and I mnst hnvo il."
The great banker was in hiisle.
"I havo only an order for a million," ho said. "Give mc change." And he proffered a "cou¬ pon" for fifty thousand francs.
Tho conduetor stared, aud the passengers set up a horsolaugb. Just then nn "Ageut de Change" came by, and Baron Uothschild bor- rotved ofhim the six .sous.
The driver was notv seized tvith a kind of re¬ morseful respect, and turning to tho Money king be said. "If you want ten francs, sir, I don't miud lending them lo you on my own ac¬ counl." ^    	
A Beautiful Incident.
A navnl ollicer being at sen in a dreadful storm, his wifo wns sitling in tho cabin ncar him, nnd filled tvith alarm for tho safety of the vessel, tvas so surprised nt his composure und serenity that sho cried oul:
"My dear oro you not afraid ?" How is it possible you can bc so culm in such a dread¬ ful Sturm ?"
He roso from the chnir, dashed it to the deck, dretv lii.s sword, and pointing it to thc breast of his wife, exclnimed—
"Aro you afraid ?"
She instantly ansivered "'No.''
"Why," said thc oliiccr.
"Because," rejoined the wife, I know this stt-onl is in the liuud of my husband, and he loves mo too well lo hurt inc."
"Then," said he, "remember I know in whom I   believe, and   that ho wbo holds   tho
The Gamester.
At Tunbridge, in lhe year 1715, a gentle¬ man, whose name wns Hedges, mado a very brilliant appearanco. ITo had been married ubout ttvo yenrs to a younj; lady of great beau¬ ty nnd largo fortune; they had one child, a boy, on whom they bestowed all that alTcction tvhich they could siiaro from caeh other. Ile kiiutt- iiothing of gaming, nor sccmi.-d to havo the least passion for play; but ho was unacquain¬ ted with bis own heart; he began by degrees to bet at the table for trifling sums, and his sonl took fire at the prospects of immedialo gain; he was soon surrounded with sharpers, who with calmness lay in ambush for his fortune, and cooly took advantage oftho precipitancy ofhis passion.
His lady perceived tho ruin of hcr family np¬ proaching, but at first, without being able to fijrm any scheme to preveut il. She advised with his brother, who at that time was posscs- dofa sinall fcllotvsliip in Cambridge. It as easily seen, that whatever passion took the lead iu her husband's mind, seemed thereto bo fi.xed unallerably; it was delermined, therefore, 10 let him pursue his fortune, but previously to take measures to prevent thc pursuit being fa¬ tal.
Accordingly, every night this gentleman wns a constant attendant at the hazard tables; he underslood neither tho arts of sharpers, nor even allowed strokes of connoisseurs, yel slill ho played. The consequence is obvious; he losl his estate, his equipage, his wife's jetvcls, and oilier moveables that could bo parted with, except a repeating tratcb. His agony upon this occasion was inexpressible; he was even mean enough to ask a gentleman, who snt ncnr him, to lend him a few pieces, in order lo return his fortune; but this prudent gamester, who plainly saw thcro wns no expcelnlion of being repnitl, refused to lend him a farthing, alleging a former resolution against lending. Hedges wns at last furious w-ith the conlinuance of ill success; and pulling out his tvalch, nskcd if any person in the company would sot him sixly guineas upon il—the company were silent. He then demanded fifiy—still no nnstvor. He sunk lo forly, thirty, tiventy—finding the com¬ puny still wilhout answering, be cried out, it shall never go for less, and dashed it against the flonr, at the same liinc, attempted to dash out his brains ngainsl the marble cliimncy- piecc.
The last act of desperation immeJialoly e:-- cited tho altention oflhe Viliole company; thoy instantly gatheretl round, and prevented the clTcets ofhis passion; and afler he again bccamo cool, he tvas permitted to return home, with sullen di.seonlent to his t.ife. L'pon his cnlcr. ing ber apparment, sho received him with her usual tenderness and satisfaction; while he an¬ sivered her caresses wilh contempt and stern¬ ness; his disposition being quite altered with his misfortunes. "But, my dear Jemmy," .i-nys his tvife. "perhaps you don't know thc news I have to tell; my mamma's old uncle is de.id, the messenger is now in the huuse, and you knotv his estate Is settled upon you." This ac¬ cuuiit seemed only to increase his agony; and looking at her cried. "There you lie my dear, his (-.state is not sellled upon me." "I be;:; your pardon," says she, "but I really Ihoughl it was; at least you havo alivays told mo so." "No," returned he, "us sure as yoa and I arc to be miserable here, and our chiidrcn beggars here¬ after, I have sold the reversion of il this day, and have lost every farthing I got for It at the hazard tabic." "What, all ?'' replied the lady. "Vcs, every farthing," returned lie, "and I otve a Ihuusand pounds more Ihnu T hnvo to pny.'' Thu.i speaking, ho look a fetv frantic steps across the room. When the lady had a liltic enjoyed his perplexity, she cried, "No, mydear, you have lost but a trille, and you otve nothing; yonr brolher and I have taken caro to prevent the efTects ofyour rashness, and aro aciually the persons who have won your fortune; we employed propor persons for this purpose, who brought their tvinnings to me; your nioiiny, your equipage, are ia my possession, and here I return them to you, from whom they were unjustly taken; I only nsk permission to kccji my jewels, und keep you, my greatest jetvcl, from such dangers for the future." Tier pru¬ dence hnd tho proper effect, he over after re¬ tained a sense of his former follies, and nevor played for the smallest sums, eve.-i for amuse, ment.

Scolding.
We win not say that any who have the scold¬ ing propensity aro absolutely Incurable, bul we know some very obstinate cases. Wo alio know some persons who have sueh o happy mental organization, that they never indulge a pclulant spirit. An anecdote will illustrate these cases:
Two thriving farniers, A. ond B., lived near neighbors, whose wives were patterns of ener¬ gy, indu.stry, frugality, neatness, kc. Each hud bcon married about fiflcen years, and tho tvife of A. proved to be o termagant, while that of B. had nol spoken petulantly since her mar¬ riago. These men trero ono day la the midst of an inlercsting conversalion, when the din ner-horn from the house ofMr. A. was sound¬ ed; and hc said to B. "I must go at oncc, or my wife will give me sueh o lecture." "I really wish," replied B., "that I could hear my wife scold ns yours does, for fivo niinutos, just to sec huw- it would sound; fbr she has nover ul¬ torcd a crooked word, s'.iieo our marriage."— "0," said A., "get for your wifea luad of crook¬ ed tvood, and you will hear it, I warrant you; for nothing makes my wife rave equal lo that."
Fiirmcr B. kept liij otvn counscl.and whenhc wont to the forest to prepare his year's supply of wood, ho w-as careful to cut caeh crooked stick on each side of the curve, so as to pro- serve it entire, and to throw all such sticks In a seperate pile, subjeci to his order. AVhen his olJ slocl: of wood was consumed, ho collected an ciitlro load of the.ie croolicd slicks, and de¬ posited lliem at his door, and said nothing.— When ho came to dinner tho next day, ho ex¬ pected the verification of thc prophecy; but the meal, as usual, was well cooked, and iu good time, and his wife came to the board wilh hcr usual buncfieient smile, and said nothing rela¬ tive to tho w-ood. As the wood w-aslod atvay, his curiosity and anxiety increased, till his wifo one day said to him, "Husband, our w-ood is nearly c:;hausted; nnd ifyou have any more Tike the lu.st you brought me, I wish you would get il, for It is the best I ever had; it fits round the pols and kettles so nicely."
'Wantod~An Honest, Industriou.? Boy,
Wo ktely Eutv an advcriiseinent headed as above. It conveys to every boy an improssivo moral le.ison.
'An honest, industrious boy' is always wan. tcd. Ho will be sought for; his services will be in demand; ho tvill bo respected aud loved; ho win be spoken of in tcrms of hi^'h comiueu- dalloii; he wili altv.ays have a home; ho will grotv up to be a man of known worth aud ts- tabllshed character.
He will bo v^anteJ. Thc lacrchaut will tvaut him for a salesman or a clerk; tho master me¬ chnnic will v.-a:it hini fc;- an apprenil^e cr a journeyman; thosow-;tho job to let will wanthim for a contractor; clients will want him for o lawyer; patients for a physician; religiuus con. gregalion, for a pastor; parents, for a teacher oftheir childron, and tho poople for an olTiecr.
He win be wanled. Towiismou will tvant him fts a citizen: acquaintance as a neighbor; neighburs as n friend, Tamilies as a visitor; tho tvorld as an acquaintance, and, girls want him for a beau, and finally for a husbauJ.
An honest luduslrlous boy I Ju.st tlilu'i: of il boys, will you nnswer this description ? Cnn yon npply for this situation ? Are you sure that you tvill be wanted ? You may bo smart and active, but tiiut does not fill Iho requisi¬ tion—nro you honest ? T'on may be capable— are you industrious ?

You may apjily for a 'good situatiou'—aro you sure thnt your friends, teachers, aud acquaiii- taiices can recommend for these qualilics?— Oh, hotv would you feel, your character not being thus cslablished, on having the wonls 'can't emjiloy you.' Noihiug else will make up for the lack of those qualilics. No readi¬ ness or aptness for business will do It. Yon must bo honest and industrious—must work and labor; then will your 'calling nnd election' for profit and irust bc mude .lurc.
Cruelty to Horses.
The Eastern Mail, WaterviUe, Maine, has a, capital orlicle on this subject, of tvhich the fol¬ lowing ia a part:
"rassiiig a blacksmith's shop, somo limo since, tvc stojiped to admire a beautiful horso belonging to Mr. S., aa it stootl walling for a set of shocs. No w-onder that horse was a pel— nnd none but r. bold mau would Jaroabusu bim in the presence of his owuer. Vi'hcn the flies mado lilui n little restive at tho driving of the first nail, the smitli flew Into o passion, and dealt bloiv after blow tvith his hammer, with the fury of a madman. Tho otvner did not knotv how tho blood came upon his horse's nose, or thoso bunches upon his ribs—but we did.
"'It Is doubtless 0 legal question—it Is cer¬ tainly a moral one—hotv fnr a man bas a right to vent his fury upon a 'ballty' or a viclons horse. We say fur}-, because nothing renders a passionate mon so frantic ns a contrary horse. We havu seen a mero looker on turn pale with auger, while tho man tvilh the whip would foam nt the mouth like a rabid Jog. To those who have not scon il, this is beyond cred¬ it; thoso tvho have, it Is strange. For such men the low against cruelly to animals was Iirovidcd, und upou all such il is the positive duly oftho ministers of the law to see it exe¬ cuted.''
S&° There are times when the sonl ofevery ouc is oppressed with the ircarincss of living. What profit halh a man of all his labor wbichbe ta'iieth under the sun ? Livlngg^o most who live earnestly, is like rotving a boat hartl up stream; it Is full of excitement and sllmulus to the vi¬ gorous arm and determined eye. Thcro is joy in strife, ond prido iu OTercomiug. But still, there are hours when the oar slackens and the arm is listless. One does not want for ever to contend wilh tho mad race of walers, and longs to pul out of the current iolo somo quiet covo where ths saobeams glitter in golden rinfft, and overhsnpinj trees make green sh&lows and soft whbpcrinjs-it longs fcr a rcsl.

A Practical Joke.
Al Long Wharf, Bo.slou, the fidhiiig smack.s tlirotv their fish Into pits, wilh sides perfectly water tight, and rising to tho   decks, while thu

A couplo of Irishmen who wanted work suppo'. sing thoao jiIls lo be sunken vessels, asked tho privilege of pumping them out.
The two lara aboard, who wero fir.^t cla-is jo¬ kers, perceiving tho mistake oflhc Hibemiaus, replied yes, and asked their price fo^ pumping the smack dry. A bargain was slruek for a dollar and a half, o puniji was procured, and at w-ork thc two men went, one pumping whilo the other bailed tvith a bucket.
An hour pnssed on ond still they worked, occasionally wondering hotv deep the hole was, and hotv much w-atcr remaiued stiil iu the ves¬ sel. Tho ttvo sailors in the meantime had gono up to Ihu wharf, os they said on business.— The captnin, who was absent at tho time tho bargain was made camo on board, and finding tho men still hard at work, tvith tho perspira¬ tion pouriug oft" their faces, inquired what thoy were about,
"Pumping out the ship," w-as thc reply.
"ruiuiilng out thc ship," said tho captain.
