'■ JUb Beginning of the World.
The fdUo^ing'extract from a sermon Of
Mr^purgeori^ the famous English preach
er, is a specimen of the eloquence which
Withioa year or two has rendered his
.Dame familiar iu both hemispheres :
Can any man tell me when the beginning
\ as? Years ago we thought the begin
Ding of this world was when Adam came
upon it;' but we have discovered that
thousand* of yfeafa before that, God was
preparing chaotic matter to make it a fit
abode for man ; "muting rSces of creatures
upon it* who might- die and leave behind
fftfe maV&iS bT^His -handiwork and rrarvel
ous skill, before,lie tried His hand on men
But is was not the beginning; for rev
elation points us to a period long ere this
world .was ''feshidrted—^-to the days when
Tfiorning stars were begotten ; when
like drops of dew from the. fiugers of th
morning, stars and constellations tell trick
liijg from.the hand of .God ; when, by^His
*>WfU'V>ps he launched forth ponderous orbs:
ithHis ow^ liaj^^jta^uit comets
like thunderbolts, ^vand^raBjil^TOugh A
skv, to find one day their proper sphere.—
We go back to years gone by, whe,n worlds
^ppre made and systems fashioned, but
we have not even ajpproached the begin-
ning jet.
"Until we go to the
time when all the
Universe slept ■ in the mind of God, as
yet tiuborn,. uqtil, we enter the eternity
where God the-Creator liveth alone, every
tfeing sletepiug within Him, all creation
resting within His mighty, gigantic
bought, we have not guessed the begin-
ning. We may go back, back, back,
ages upon ages. We may go back, if we
iptay use such strange words, whole eter-
nities, and yet never arrive at the begin-
ning, "Our wing might be tired, our imag-
ination would die away. Could it outstrip
the lightning's flashing in majesty, power
and rapidity, it would soon weary itself
ere it could: get to the > beginning. But
God from.the beginning,qhose his people,
when the nnnavigated ether was yet unfan
ced by the wing or a single angel, when
Jtpace was shoreless, or else uubrrn^ when
universal £ lence; reigned, and not a voice
or whisgpr shocked the solemnity of si-
lenced when there was no being, end no
motion, aud naught but God Himself,
alone in His eternity ; when, without the
6obg of eh angel, without the attendance
dFeven the caerubim, long ere the living
creatines Were born, or the'wheels oL the
charrbt of Jehovah were fashioned ; even
thsny in t^„beginniug was, thf.word,"
aq<Kii ,the beginning God's people, were
qpe. with the word, and " in the beginning
be chose them unto eternal life/'

, From Kansas—Under date of the 21st
nit., the Lawrence correspondent of the
Democrat -Writer:
jM©ovi Robinson was acquitted yesterday
forenoon. The jury were out nine hours.
There was an animated debate in the jury
roopv ,At first, 1 leaxo,. they stood ten
for a TQrdidtdf guilty, to two for an ac-
quittal. They were all pro-slavery men.
*The judge Jiad distinctly charged them
that;tftbey found that the prisoner, at
any time, had assumed to be Governor of
the State of Kansas, they mnst find him
guilty. The defense had always admitted
this fact.
The two jurors, however, did not accept
sucb instructions. They refused to be-
lip*e in the existence of a State in this part
of the conntry. They came out, after
they had discussed the question some time,
that the case be reopened for
farther evidence on that point ! This very
verdant request of course, was refused.
At nine or'clock, therefore, they return-
ed a verdict of not guilty.

Mes. Cunningham.—Some of the
New York papers comment editorially
length upon the decision of the
Surrogate's Court on the claim of Mrs.
Cunningham to the Burdell estate as
tMr Bdtftor's widow,* and they agree in
SMraSu
decision ,; gA
Jikgt&t 24th,
the: B&ate
ceased:
liet to order be entered declaring
that Emma Augusta Cunningham, is
nBt'the widdw b1 "the decedent, and di-
recting letters of adpotinistration to be
issued to the decedent's next of kin, on
giving the proper security.
Express says:
When Mrs. Cunningham heard that
the decision vas adverse to her claims,
asj(he widow of Harvey Burdell, she
exhibited little or no emotion; she
siffipty remarked that "it was all a one-
Bided, lame decision ; that the Surro-
gate had thrown aside the testimony of
the chief witness* .aad catered for the
public taste." Mrs. C. acts with per-
fect ^difference as to the result, and
Wben she was locked up in her cell on
Monday evening she appeared quite
cheerful, so much so, that the matron of
the prison said she had not been in a
better humor since her last imprison-
ment.
The following is the11
1857—In the matter of
of Harvey Burdell, de-
ODDSAND
Sheridan had a great distaste to any-
thing like metaphysical discussions,
whereas his son had a great liking for
them. Tom, one day, tried to discuss
with his father the doctrine of Necessi-
ty. "Pray, my good father," said he,
"did you ever do anything in a state of
perfect indiffernce; without motive" of
sortie kind or other ?' Sheridan, who
knew what was coming, and by no
means relishing such subjects from him
or any one else, said, "Yes, certainly."
• "Indeed !" said the sou.x "Yes in-
deed." "What! total indifference—
total, entire, thorough indifference ?
Well, then, my dear father, tell me
what it is you can do with (mind) total
entire, thorough indifference !" "Why
listen to you, son," said Sheridan.
The rebuff, as Tom told a friend, so
disconcerted Mm, that he never forgot
it, nor had ever again troubled his fath-
er with any metaphysics.
The best description of weakness we
have ever heard is contained in the
wag's query to His wife, when she gave
him some thin chicken broth, if' she
would not try to coax that chicken just
to wade throughithe soup once more !
What a "Bbigk" is.—When you
say in a phrase which is now American
ized, that such a man is a "Brick," do
you think or do you know the origin of
it ? It is this : An Eastern Prince
on being asked. "Where are the forti-
fications of our city ?" replied, pointing
to his soldiers, "Every man you see is
a Brick."
A country girl, writing to her friend
says of a polka, "that the dancin" does
not amount to much, but the huggin' is
heavenly." -
If poison should be taken accidentally
take- two table-spoonsful of ground mus-
tard, mixed in warm water. It will
operate as an instantaneous emetic.

The Clergyman andthe Sceptic.—
"If we are to live after death, why
don't we have some certain knowledge
of it ?" said a sceptic to a clergyman.
"Why don't you have some knowledge
of this world before you Come into it ?"
was the caustic reply. .
A knavish attorney asked a very
worthy gentleman what was honesty ?
'What is that to you," said, he ; "med-
dle with those things that concern you
most." -, :v7. t
"Papa, have guns got legs.-?" "No."
"How do they kick, then ?" "With
their breeches, my son." ,
"Call that a kind man ?" said an ac-
tor speaking of an absent acquaintance,
"a man who away from jna family
and never sends them a farthing ? "Call
that kindness. "Unremitting, kind-

"That tune," said somebody in com-
pany once, "always carries me away
with it." "Will nobody whistle it ?"
said Douglas instantly.
"My dear Polly, I am surprised at
you wearing another woman's hair on
your head," said Mr. Smith to his wife.
" My dear Joe, I am equally astonished
that you persist In wearing another

Tricks of Trade.—There's an aw-
fol nigger in the Montgomery water-
melon trade ! It's horrible, the way he
contrives to get his finger into the eyes
of his cullud bredren! Now, for exam-
ple, about some weeks ago, when musk-
melons were in season, this black green-
grocer one morning was negotiating a
sale to rather a smart darkey who was
trying desperately to-get the better in
the transaction.
Said the seller—
"Now, de way I sells them mush-
millions to every body else.* is two for
fifteen cents, but since it you," and here
the black scamp assumed a most confix
dential and insinuating tone. "I'll let
you hab three ob 'um for a quarter."
This very particular friend bit, a
transfer of property at once took place
and the purchaser walked off, but had
not gone half a square when something
appeared to have worked through his

"Look here ! How dat ? Tree for

INHALATION IN CONSUMP-
TION.
BRONCHITIS, Larygitis, and other diseases
of the Rliest and throat, successfully treated
by the inhnlation of Medicated Vapora and Pow-
ders, by absorption and constitutional treat-
ment, as practiced at the Stuyvesaat Medical
Institute, New York City.
The unprecedented success which has attended
this method of treating diseases of the Lungs
and Throat, has induced us to depart from our
usual course, and avail ourselves of the col-
umns of the Press, in order to bring it to the
knowledge of sncb as may be laboring under,
or predisposed to such affections. The dawn of
a brighter day has arrived for the consumptive
the doctrine of .the incurability of Consumption
having at length passed away. We have in
dubitable proof's in our possession, that Con-
sumption, in all its stages, can be cured!—in
the first by tubercular absorptions; in the sec-
ond, transformation of tubercular into chufky
and calcerous c ncretions; in |he third, by
cicatrices or scars. Those wedded to the opin-
ions of the past may assert, that, even dow Con-
sumptions incurable; such are behind the age.
To all this great troth must be apparent, viz:
that the medicipe inhaled in the foroi of Aapor
or powdor, dira^fy into the Lungs, must lie toote
effectual" ihan ihar. Uljph into tbo stomachj
where the disease does not exist. The advan-
tage of inhalation in Consumption and throat
diseases is, that medicines in tiie form of vap ijr
are applied directly to the Lunits, where the
disease exists; the stomach is thus left free to
aid in restoring by administering; to it healthy,
life givine food. There is no c+se so hopeless
that In halation will not reach ! The means,
too, are bronght within the reach of all, the
manner of administering the Vapors bein bo
simple that the invalid is never required to
leave home, where the hand of friendship and
affection tend so much to aid the physician's
efforts.,
The inhaling method is soothing, safe and
speedy, and consists in the administration of
medicines in sut-h a manner that they are con-
veyed into the Longs in the form of Vapor, and
nroduce their action at the seat of the diseaMe
Its practical success is destined to revolutionise
the opinions of the medieal world, and establish
the entire curability of Consumption.
I earnestly appeal to the common senaeof all
afflicted with Lung-diseases, to embrace at once
the advantages of Inhalation; and no longer
apply medicine to the unofending stomach I
claim for inhalation plade'among the priceless
gifts that nature and art liath given us, that
our "days may be long in the land," and as the.
only ark of refuse for th« consumptive, a method
not only rational, but simple, safe and effica-
cious. " i
Such of the profession that have adopted In-
halation have found it efficacious in the highest
degree, arresting the progress of the diseaso
and working wonders iti many desperate cases
In verity, a signal triumph of our art over
