body; being taken up by the chyie they pass
into the blood. which they purify; and i,
should he remembered that they only remove
those parts from the blood which were the
cause of inflammation or disease of any kind
Nothing is equal to Kidding the vita'ed hu
mors with a vegetable medicine of this kind,
which eighty four years have proved never to
od injury. but always good. t.-..l
q MPURITY OF BLOOD cause, pain
and occasions disease upon that part of the
body which from any cause may be weakest.
Thus in persons whose bloodis impure, should
they have a cold. the impure matter would
settle upon their lungs, and consumption be
the trouble; so with other affections All
trouble is saved by using the BRAEDRETH
PILLS, which cannot injure, and which can
not be overdone. Only use them in the COM
mencement of any disease. use them in full
doses and you will be up snd well, while
those who are too wise to take such simple
medicine, are bed ridden, or premutureiv end
their days. The Brantlreth Pills are only be-
ginning to be appreciated; they are found to
never deceive; they are the only internal
medicine required in this climate.
Be careful of pretended universal purgatives
which cannot be used without injur." to the
body as Brandreth's Pills can. What are
they' Are they not limitations OF the brsn'
dreth Pills recommended in Advertisements
stolen from DR.. Brandreth? Were they not
originally counterfeit pills purpoItmg to be
the genuine Brantlreth Pills. But in conse
quence of the new labels on the Brandreth
Pill boxes are they not obliged to come out un
der other colors equally false? Observe the
makers and travelling agents. Are they not
men whom DR.. Brandreth hath cast on not
for good conduct truly Is not this true As
applicable to the pretended Indian" and, in
fact, to nearly ali the advertised pills OF the
day! Shall the public trust their lives IN the
hands of these unprincipled mem Surely
not.
The Brandreth Pills give strenth for weak
ness-they are liked best BY those who nave
tax en- the most of them. DIR. Brandreth can
give personal reference to thousands who have
been restored from bed of sickness by their
I use, when every other mems had proved en-
tirely unavailing. These cases are continual
lA occurring in this city and in every part OF
the Union. Get Brandreth's Pills if you are
not perfectly healthy, and they will restore
you-if medicine can do it-because they ex
pei those humors which are the cause OF i'm
purity of the blood. and at the same time the
body is strengthened by the operation OF this
| : ost excellent medicine.

Preserve that Thought.

1t may have come into your mind,
while reading, meditating, or conver-
sing. Or while riding along the road,
or threading your way through crow
ded street. No matter. 1t is good
thought, write it down. 1t flashes and
and sparkles in your mind as the fore
runner of host OF others. Seize it;
tasten it upon paper at once, or it may
fly away as an eagle towards Heaven.
and carry the whole train along with
it. One good thought secured, may be
as fountain of sweet water in a dcs-
ert, reiresing every thought that comes
to its margin, and sending streams OF
pure and healthlul influence through
every ramifcation Of thought and feel
ing.
That thought may never come again.
Its coruscations, that thrilled while they
enlightened you, may perish from your
memory. Presently you may recall
it in vain. 1t will have passed away,
and left no clue, by which to trace it,
behind. Good thoughts are like flow
ers-beautiful, but perishing. Yet the
fragrance of flowers may be preserved.
So may good thoughts, that come like
angels upon dying Christians vision,
be chained and cherished in the mind.
But they are only secure on paper.
Make portfolio of your hat, keep
an ever-pointed pencil about you, and
keep it pointed by use; and seize the
thought when it comes, and preserve
it. One thought saved day will make
three hundred and sixty-fve year,
Thus you may gruw rich in good
thoughts, as men grow rich in gold
saving: Write down that thought.

Logon, and flows 800 miles through an
open and level country, interspersed
| with groves, lakes and beautiful savan.
nahs. 1t is navigable three.iourths Of
its course, and the country waisred by
it, in soil and climate, is alike admira-
BILE. These are the principal streams
that water and fertilize tho western
portion of Upper California. The su,
perfcial area of this magnificent valley
is estimated at 10000 or about the size
Of one of our largest States. In respect
to IFS agricultural capabilities, those
who have explored the region furnish
the most glowing description. Van
Couver, Farnham and Humbalot unite
in attesting its wonderful advantages,
the richness of its soil, the luxuriance
Of its herbadge, its diversified scenery,
and the mildness of the climate. A
writer in recent number of the Amer
loan Revicno observes, that although ag-
rlcuture throughout this vast and fer
tile region is of the rudest and most un-
skllIful character, nearly all kinds Of
grain have been readily raised, DR..
Marsh, long q resident on the banks of
the Sacramento, informed Mr.. Farm
ham that from ten bushels, he had
known to be harvested a crop of 1862;
the average yield being from thirty -one
to fifty bushels from one that is sown.
Lieut.. Wilkes places the crop at so
fold. Whether these statements be
rigidly exact or not, they demonstrate
a most extraordinary degree of fertility,
and prove that, in an agricultural point
of view, Upper California presents in
ducements that are scarcely equalled
by the most fruitful sections Of the Val
| ley of the Mississippi.
The population of this favored coun-
try is scarse and scanty, not exceed
ing eighty thousand souls. With eve-
ry possible incentive in the soil. climate,
water-power, and splendid and conve-
nlent harbors, TO the advancement Of
| agriculture and the promotion of com
merce, the inhabitants have neither
thrift, nor skill, nor ambition enough to
profit by their lavish resources. The
whole annual merchanta5le produc-
tons of the country, including its stable
commodities. cattle and furs, is esti-
mated at less than million of dollars.
The crops raised by the whole popu-
lation are inferior in value to the usual
product OF half dozen well managed
Western farms; and it may be safely
asserted that the habitual neglect, inn
providence and ignorance of its inhab-
itants, will continue to limit the teem-
ing fruitfuness, and clrcumscribe the al
most boundless resources Of this glori-
Gus region, SO long as it remains in the
hands Of an indolent and unskilful peo-
pie, and under the control of an alter
nately inert and despotic government.
