Among the numerous discoveries Science
has made ia this generation to facilitate the
business OF lfe--increase lis enjoyment, and
even prolong the term Of human existence,
none can be 7amed OF more real value to man
kind, than this contribution of Chemistry to
The Healing Art. A vast trial Of its virtues
throughout this broad country, has proven be-
yond doubt, that no medicine or combination
Of medicines yet known, can SO surely con.
troll and cure the numerous varieties of pull
monary disease which have hitherto swept
from our midst thousands and thousand severy
year. Indeed. there is now abdn dant reason
to believe Remedy has at,length been found
which Gun be relied on to cure the most dan
gerous affections of the lungs. Our space here
will not permit usto publish any proportion Of
the cures affected by its use, but we would pre-
sent the following opinions Of eminent men,
and refer further enquiry to the circular which
the Agent below named. will always be pleas
ed TO furnish free, wherein are full particulars
and indisputable proof of these facts.

now constantly using your CHERRY PICTORIAL
in nv practice, and prefer it to any other med
ene for pulmonary complaints. From obser-
Vation of many severe cases, am convinced il
will cure coughs, colds, and diseases of the
lungs, that have put TO defiance all other reme-

Invariably recommend its use in cases Of

'emedy known for that disease.

Catharine Hares--Personal.

Whatever may be the musical talent of
"La bella Katrina" a glanc at her person
assures us that she is woman Of extraordi-
nary genius. Her figure is rather above the
medium, full and well FINISHED up" as the
artists would say, to the lines Of beauty
Her hair is exuberant, curling, and Of rich
auburn color; in the sunlight it would be
golden. She has large, soft, cerulean eye,
a good natured mouth, and smile as radiant
assunshine. In heI conversation she betrays
apleasant wit, combined with the enthusiasm
peculiar to her countrymen. She is just
such woman as must have sat to Tom
Moore when he painted the fair daughters

Prince Louis Napoleons penchant for
governing implies decided fitness for the
office OF thief-taker. His administration
has had far more of the business of a Minis
lerot Police, than of the noble vocations of
President or General-in. Chief; his qualities
better suit the mask and mantle of Vidoco
than the military surtout of the Emperor.
His craving for reelection has no smack of
that towering ambition, which sanctifies
itself by the mere grandeur of its objects:
1t means simply that having hunted knaves
and conspirators four years, he longs to hunt
them for years longer. So at least it might
strike the spectator at first sight: if at all
transcendental, he might remark that the
FRINGE seems to find the subjective realities
OF pursuit ra her more agreeable than his OBJ
Jectlve experiences Of flight and confinement.
Is his present wholesale business in the can
ture and Incarceration of all the Pierres and
Jafiers of la belle France, prompted by an
prehensions that his time for such pleasures
is short ?-that his security lies in putting
the restless intellect of the nation under bolt
and key IN Y. Times. r-a
