Adyantages Of a Reading Room.
4 A. we contemplate. opening our Reading
Room in = few days-and not only to open it,
but firmly determined to make it permanent
through al obstacles-it is no less the interest
Of the community than our own, to say some
thing Of the vast advantages which it offers to
every one who is disposed to read or learn
the news Of the day, as well as its moral i'm
portance and benefit to parents. We feel that
we hays . severe task to perform to make the
enterprise Of any immediate pscuniary adyan-
tage, but there are other considerations con-
pscted with the FIXTURE, which, we succeed in
accomplishing win well repay the care and at
tention, and expense which we. may incur at
present il the undertaking. The main con-
temptation that re allude to, is to form a News
paper Library Of bound volumes of all papers
from evsry State in the Union, carefully pre-
served from year to year, for the especial bene-
ft Of Subscribers and ourself. If such a sys-
TEN was carried out, how interesting would
Rssding Room become in the course Of eight
o. ten yeaEss True, i j. looking considers
bly, Into tho future, and many circumstances
may occur, besides death, to Illustrate such q
design, but that Is no reason why it should not
Be attempted. Nothing important or great was
ever accomplished in day. Our paper is now
eatsring upon ito third year, and, ~ far as we
~ perceive, time but adds greater surety Of
sperpanent existence, and this is the main
point ID b considered. No man can fail to
perceive The importance Of > Rsading Room

iron trl'sses for supporting roof, 81 miles OF

<uZ miles OF sash-bars, and, 90O. 600 supe M :
cial ieet Of glass. The building win stand
on about IL acres Of ground-giying. with
the galleries, an exhibiting surface Of 81
acres; but provisions will be made for q
large increase of galleries, If necessary. The
gallery VIII be "a feet twide, and will extend
nearly mile. The length of the tables, OF
teble space for exhibiting, will be about
eight miles. An idea may be formed of The
unprecedented quantity of materials that
will be employed in this edifice from the
iact, that the glass alone will weigh upwards
of 400 tons. "p"'i"'
The glass roof consists of series OF
ridges and valleys" exactly eight feet wide,
Along the sloping sides without and within,
.ne water is conducted into cutters at the
mead OF each column, whence it escapes
through the columns themselves. In no in
stance has the water further than twelve
ieet TO run before il is delivered into the
valleys. The psoyision for ventilation is,
according 10 Mr.. Paxton, a very peculiar
part OF his plan. The whole building, he
says, will be fitted with leuvre, or luffer,
boards, so placed as TO admit air, but exclude
rain. The roof and south side of the build
ing will be covered with canvass. and in
very hot weather it may be watered, and
the interior kept cool. In the transept alone
theie will be above 5000 superficial feet oi
ventilators provided. By covering the south
side and roof of the building with canvass
gentle light will be thrown over the whole
OF the building, and the whole of the glas.
OF the northern side Of the building will
1gve direct light to the interior.
AS already explained, the exhibiting sur
lace will occupy space of about 81 acres
Ihe total cubic contents of the building will
be SS,OO0,0O0 feet. The total amount O
contract for use, waste, and maintenance, i,
t79, 800 l.; or very little more than nine six
teenths d penny per foot cube. The tota
value OF the building, we're it to be perma
nently retained, would be fl5O,O00 OF
rather less than one penny and one-twelfth

The Marraige Altar.

Judge CHARLEToN, in recent eloquent
address before the Young Mans Library As.

marriage scene:

bright scene of beautiful life. 1t is the mar.

freshness of youth and surprising beauty

gloomy Philosophers, and tell Inc, if you
dare, that there is no happiness on earth
See the trusting, the heroic devotion, which
compels her to leave country and parents
for comparative stranger. She has launch.
ed her frail bark on wide and stormy sea
she has handed over her happiness in This
world to anothers keeping but she done il
fearlessly, for love whispers to her that her
chosen guardian and protector has a noble
and manly heart. Oh! woe to him that de-.
ceives her! Oh, woe to him that forgets his
oath and his manhood.
"We have all read the story of the hus-
band who, in moment of hasty wrath said
to her who had but few moments before
united her fate to his

We take tho following from the Browns
vile Sentinel, of the 22d inst.
The notorious Capt. Paacois whose ac-
tons we have for sometime noticed, in the
vicinity Of Rio Grande City and Camargo,
has been again arrested near the latter
place, and we understand is being brought
to Alatamoros for trial. Paacois it will
be remembered, was one of the celebrated
Mexican spy company, which, under the
orders of General Scott, did such signal
service to the Americans, between Vera
Cruz and Mexico. Since the war he has
been operating on this frontier against the
inhabitants of both sides of the river.
The following is also from the Sentinel:
We are informed that Col. PorIilo, with n
command oftwo hundred men, left Mata-
moras, q few days since, for the interior of
Mexico. We know not upon what or
rand.

I'm this preparation we have all the restora-
i tive properties Of the root, combined and
concentrated in their utmost strength and ef
ficency. Experiments were made in the
manufacture Of this medicine until II was
found it could not be improved. Accord
ingly, we find il resorted to almost universally
in cases of scrofula, Liver Diseases, isalt
rheum, General Prostration of he Vital Pow
ers, and all those tormentng diseases Of the
skin 80 trying TO the patience, and injurious to
the health. II is a tonic, aperient and disin-
fectant. II acts simultaneously upon the stom-
ach, the circulation AMI the bowels, and thus
three processes, which are ordinarily the result
of three different kinds of medicine, are car
red on at the same time through the instru-
mentality Of this one remedial agent. There
are many ways Of relieving pain for the time
being, but there is only one way of removing
disease No palliative, no anodyne, no tropi-
cal application will remove 1t. 1t must be at
tackled at its source, in the fluids of the body,
which convey the poison TO the localities where
it is developed in inflammation, sores, ulcers,
umors, abcesses, gandular swellings &c., as
the case may be.
These fluids must be reached, acted upon,
purified by some powerful agent. Such an
agent is SANDS sarsaparilla, which gently stim-
ulates while il disinfects and expeis from the
stomach and all that is irritating. and at the
on fhat. al Ia.
great merit is that II meets and neutralizes the
active principle Of disease itself. and when that
is gone, the symptoms necessarily disappear
The rapidity with which the patient RECEIVERS
health aad strength under this triple influence
is surprising. Each new case in which il is
applied furnishes in the result new certificate
OF its excellence and we have only 10 point to
the accumulated testimony Of mutitudes who
nave experienced It's effects, to convince in
credulity itself Of its real value,
