preston in brief article we copy to-day

thought this meant any thing more than
Jest, We would have it thrown into "pi." The
particular passages We allude to, are in the

attention, to the very sensible and wel-writ-

from the pen of one, thoroughly identified

GODEY'S LADY;S BOOK.

THE March number presents very taking
appearance. This is, perhaps, the most fin
ished, certainly, the most expensive work of
the kind on this side of the water. What
they have on the other side, we-dont exactly
know. 100000 is the annual cost of the
Lady's Book, making that of each issue over
$4,000. So that it requires nearly $4,000
paying subscribers to defray the expenses of
the work. But Cooley says he is dashing on,

STRANGE.-pASSING STRANGE.

lHE laSI NUMBERS OF the AO0ethP banner,
Pendleton Messenger, Anderson Gazette and
Greenrille Mountaineer, actually reached us
WITHIN THREE DAYS of the date Of publica-
ton. We would be glad to know what this
unccremonious conduct of the Post-Office
gentry means? For a length Of time, we
have been habituated to receiving our up
country news some week or ten days after
date-no indecent hurry in the matter,-and
then it came to US fraught with all the vene-
rability of antiquated relics. In going round
cia Columbia, Augusta and sometimes, Char
lesion, it acquired some of those racy quail
ties that wine is said to gather up during n
voyage. 1t certainly possessed the mellow
ness of age, and had become one of our prin-
cipal means Of comparing the past with the
present. Judge then of our indignation,
upon taking out of our box the other day,
copy of each of the aforementioned papers,
damp from the press.-aye, sirs, damp from
the PresSt
Gentlemen Of the Post Office department.,
there is something wrong here. We cannot
submit to this "posting in such hot haste" of
these damp sheets. We haven't been used
to such treatment.
Seriously, brother editors above, We have
been sorely vexed by the delays in the trans
mission of your papers, and hope that a bet
ter state of things is about to take place.

We have seen number of this Monthly
and have examined its pages. 1t is beyond
dispute, one of the best things of its kind
that we have yet seen. The editorial duties
are evidently discharged with unusual ability
and the typographical execution is exceeding
ly agreeable to weak eyes, while it is no less
satisfactory to nice taste.
Every Mason, at least, should take it; nor
would any one fail to meet an ample return
for the price of subscription, which is only

We will give our readers a specimen of
this periodical in our next.

WONDER OF WONDERS!
PETROLEUM, OR ROCK OIL.

ssThere are more things an heaUea and earth,
Than are dreanat Of an philosophy.
The virtues of this remarkable remedy, and
the constant application for it, to the proprietor
has induced him to have 1t put up IN DotIes'
with labels and directions, for the benefit OF the
public.
The Petroleum or Rock oil is procured from a
well in Allegheny county, at depth OF four
hundred feet, is a pure unadulterated article,
without any chemical change, tjust as 1T flows
from Natures Great Laboratory! Ihat IL CON
tains properties capable of reaching number
of diseases, is no longer a matter OF uncertainty
There are many things in the arena OF nature,
which, if known might be of vast usefulness III
alleviating suffering and restoring the bloom OF
health and vigor to many a sufferer. Long De
fore the proprietor thought of putting 1t up IN
bottles, it had reputation for the cure OF dls-
ease. The constantly and daily increasing calls
for it, and several remarkable cures it has per-
formed is a sure indication of its future popu-
larity and wide spread application IN the cure
of disease.
We do not wish to make a long parade of GER
tiicates, as we are conscious that the medicine
can work it's way into the favor Of those
who suffer and wish to be healed. Whilst We do
not claim for it universal application in every
disease, we unhesitatingly say, that in number
of Chronic Diseases it is unrivalled. Among
these may be enumerated-an diseases of the
mucous tissues, such as Chronic Bronchitis, Con-
sumption lin its early stage,) Asthma, and all
diseases of the air passages, Licer Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Diarrhea, Diseases of the Bladder
and Kidneys, Pains in the Back or Side, Ner-
vous Diseases, Neuralgia, Palsy, Rheumatic
Pains, Gout, Erysipelas, letter, Ringworms,
Burns, Scalds, Bruises, Old Sores, &C., &C. In
cases of debility resulting from exposure, or
long and protracted cases of disease, this medi-
cine will bring relief. 1t will act as a general
Tonic and ALteratiUe in such cases, imparting
tone and energy TO the whole frame removinp

which cause disease and a broken constitution,
and giving increased and renewed energy to all

teum Rock OIL, for short time. The proof
