BASTARDY IN SCOTLAND.—NearIy every tenth
Scotsman is a bastard. The registration returns for the
year 1858 show that over Scotland in that year the illegiti-
mate births numbered 9,256 against 94,939 legitimate, the
former being as nearly as possible one to ten of the latter.
This is a state of things nowise flattering to our self-
esteem and Scotchmen, instead of glorifying their heroes,
whether of the sword or of the pen, had better be inquiring
whether the race of heroes is not extinct, i.e., if heroism is
to have aught to do with virtue.—Banfshire Journal.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Pills.—The sufferings
to which delicate females are subjected by ignorant practi-
tioners, and the no less serious evils they endure in cease- '
quence of self-neglect, are terrible to contemplate. In all
disorders of the sex, and in every crisis perilous to the life
and health of women, youthful or aged, married or single,
they might regulate their own health without risk or
trouble, if they would provide themselves with these pills
and take them according to the printed directions, which
are so plain and simple that a child could be guided by
them. They are composed of rare balsams, without a tingle
particle of mercury or any other deleterious substance, and
are therefore as safe as they are efficacious.
