Beware Of S:rangulated Hernia, with ali
lis Horrors.


ClHERMAN'S New Patent Curstve Truss is the
Sonly instrument in that affords security against
Stranguated Hernia, and that be worn with ease
and comfort. 1t is light, elastic and durable, is no
way cumbersome annoying, but il is entirely free
from the objections found in every other and is ar.
ranged in accordance with Anatomy and the true prin-
cples Of Surgery When adjusted by the Proprietor,
Is warranted TO answer the purpose. and will in all
positions of the body and under the most violent exCr
cse perfectly retain the rupture bearing upon and clo-
sing the Hernial Ring, speedily eecting in the worst
forms of Hernia. radical cure.
The proprietor and inventor of this celebrated Truss
feels happy to inform the public that the Medical Fac
uty throughout the United States and all persons who
have been fortunate enough to avail themselves of its
use recommend it in the strongest terms being con.
WINGED from examination and practical experience that
its application must in every instance, in conjunction
with the rupture remedy, produce cure.
Having devoted much time to the study of Ruptures
IN their various stages and the application of Trusses
am confident in being able to render assistance and
satisfaction in every instance, beth regards scien-
tifc adjustment and perfect and easy reteDton.
Persons to secure the benefit of my experience
should inquire for me and have personal interview.
The Rupture Remedy is a compound invaluable to
ruptured persons possessing powerful, astringent and
adhesive properties which generally facilitate and add
permanency to the cure. As proof your attention il
called to the certificate of Prof Martini the Chemist

and find it to contain valuable properties to aid in cuz

Were it necessary, the evidence of hundreds could
be given who, afflicted with Hernia now rejoice
in sound body, from the only of Sherman's Pat
ent Truss and Rupture Remedy.
Dr. Lawrence. in speaking of Hernia says q It
may effect the health but it is source of constant
danger since exercise or sudden exerton may bring it
from perfectly innocent state into condition which
frequently proves fatal"
No person with prudence who, without knowl-
edge of anatomy and the delicate nature Of the disease
selects and applies to himself Truss, the misap-
plicaton often produces great deal of suffering and
not unirequenty fatal consequences.
Ruptured Children often suffer beyond description
by the of Trusses unsuited to their wants, and
thereby endure the affection for years. tits unueces-
say and cruel In my treatment there is little suffer-
ing and a cure warranted in every case.

CURIOUS MILITIA LAW.

The Cincinnati Gazette publishes the fol-
lowing analysis of the militia law Of Indiana.
with the remark that. as there is no militia
law in Ohio, it considers that oe Indiana the
"next best" The time may come when our
people will have cause to regret their con-
tempt of militia laws. Under the Indiana law
the officers are appointed as follows:
81. The Governor appoints one General in
each Congressional District.
Q. The General appoints Colonel, Lieut.
Colonel, and Major in each county in his dis
trict.
8. The Colonel appoints Captain and two
Lieutenants in each township for every hun.
dred white male inhabitants between Is and
As years of age.
4. The Captain appoints four Sergeants
and four Corporals for each company.
With respect to drills the law is quite lib.
eral. Section twelve says the Captain MAY
drill his company once year if he sees fit; ant
even this is not compulsory upon him. Sec
ton thirteen says the Colonel MAY have &
battalion drill in each half of the county if he
wishes; but this too is not required. And
to cap the climax, and show the real intent
of the law, as we have stated il above, there
is no penalty for not turning out to drill! The
officers, if they choose, notify the people to
drill. The people, if they choose, turn out
and either 60 into the ranks to be put through
the exercise or else stand outside to laugh a
the blunders of those who do.

THE FUTURE OF RUSSIA.

The prophecy of NAPOLEON at st. Helena
respecting the future of Russia, is attracting
much attention at this time. There is strong
probability that it will become veritably his
tory.
The following remarkable observations of
Napoleon Bonaparte, while at st. Helena, are
from O'Meara's "Voice from st. Helena"
vol. 2, from pages So to 70, and the suruises
will be read with some interest, at the pres
ent juncture: "In the course of few years,
Russia will have Constantinople, the greatest
part of Turkey, and all Greece. This hold
to be as certain as If II had already taken place.
Almost all the cajolng which Alexander prac-
ticed toward me was to gain my consent to
effect this object. would not consent, fore
seeing that the equilibrium of Europe would
be destroyed. In the natural course of things,
in few years Turkey must fall to Russia.
The greatest part Of her population are Greeks
who, you may say, are Russians. The pow
ers it would injure, and who would oppose it
are England, France, Prussia and Austria

A beardless disciple OF Themis rises, and
thus addresses the court: May it please your

tions, it has never befalen me to be obliged

Somebody, great many years ago, said
that the bitterest of earthly affections was
ITO love and not be loved again"
Next to it, certainly is the afflicton, pain
and annoyance of meeting on the sidewalk
pretty female figure with its head tightly wrap
ped up and enveloped in an impenetrable
green veil, which said veil aforesaid bows to
you in wholly bewitching manner & leaves
you standing bare headed on the walk, in a
revery of wonder, curiosity and wrath. Such
we regret to say, has been the source Of recent
suffering, disquiet and modification to us.
We have been bowed to by at least two dozen
of these confounded ambulatory e. peripatetic
green wells, or by the same green veil in two
dozen different places, and are to this moment
perfectly and totally innocent of the slight
est idea whose was the face and whose the
features they concealed. If they were hide
GUS faces-the faces of our grand-mother's
schoolmates-we wouldn't care, but-'there's s
the rub,' they wern't. First, they wern't, be-
cause our grandmother didn't 60 to school
here; second, because she didn't go anywhere;
and lastly, because she and all her possible
schoomates are beyond the follies of green
veil. If always to the "bowee" that an an
gels face must be hidden behind one of these
irritating and impertinent green wells.

the contrary, because no pretty face would do
itself and the rest of mankind the wrong to
hide under any such impenetrabiity as that

new boats made, making Fulton's feet three
boats, regularly plying between New York
and Albany, I took passage in one of the latter
city.
The cabin, in that day, was below; and as
l walked its length to and fro, saw that l
was very closely observed by one supposed
a stranger. Soon however, | recalled the
features OF Mr.. Fulton; but without disclosing
that, continued my walk, and waited the
result. At length, in passing his seat, our
eyes met, when he sprung to his feet, and
eagerly seizing my hand, exclaimed:
Il knew it must be you, for your features
have never escaped me; and though am still
far from being rich, yeti may venture that
bottle now.'
1t was ordered, and during its discussion,
Mr.. Fulton ran rapidly over his experience
of the worlds GOODNESS and sneers, of the
hopes, fears and disappointments, and
difficulties that were scattered through his
whole career Of discovery, up to the very
point Of his final crowning triumph, at which
he so fully felt he had at last arrived.
'And in viewing llthese,' said he, Il have
again and again recalled our interview at
Albany, and never have done SO without its
in my mind the vivid emotion it
originally caused. That seemed, and still
does seem to me, the turning point in my
destiny, the dividing line between light and
darkness, my career on earth. for twas the
first actual recognition Of my usefulness to
my eellowmen.'
Such then were the results coeval with the
very dawn of steam navigation--a dawn so
recent as to be still recollected by many
md such as Fulton there related them, were
he early appreciations by the world, of a
discovery which has invaded all waters,
causing revolution in navigation which has
almost literally bro't the very ends ofthe earth

Good Sensible Talk.

The world is full of life-of action. And
yet there are thousands who loiter on the
great race of life. They pass along and
leave no record of deeds to live after them.
No laudable ambition seems to stir their
sluggish souls. No soaring aspiration seems
to throb in their hearts. They bask in sum
shine and shun the conflicts where mind
grapples with mind living in brief day, and
living in unbroken night.
Our young men do not appreciate the
privileges of this day. They do not make
good use of the privileges which surround
them, There are many Of them who are
nobly struggling to do so, but hosts Of others
seem to have no ambition. No impulse stirs
them. The world in its progress, brings its
resources to their very doors, but they have
not sufficient energy of character to reach
out and grasp them. .......
We see much to regret in society:-The
young hearts, where lies the hope of our
country, are too ingloriously idle, or frttering
away their usefulness and influence. Let q
person pass through the country and mingle
with gathering of young men, and they
will look with sorrow on the frivolous
character presented. Why SO much ill
breeding! why so much vulgarity and
profanity! SO rude and repulsive a disregard
ofall the little courtesies oflife! Why is their
conversation so grossly coarse! We miss
the heart born politeness that should char
acterize the conduct of the true gentleman
We even see those claiming gentility and re-
spectablity, treating strangers-nay women
with marked discourtesy and insult. AND
where is the fault! ........
There are some good old ways which
ought not to be departed ,from-counsel
which ought not to be forgotten. W.
deprecate the arrogant, the selfish, and re-
pulsve manners, which so generally mari
the character of young people. There is nc
truer mark of gentleman than Courtesy ii
the treatment of others. Stale slang is nc
accomplishment--it is stain. The ill-bret
retort degenerates into deliberate insult. The
young man..who thinks he is not blood young
man until he can show how little he cares
for the unpretending qualities ofmodest ant
home simplicity, commits sad mistake. a
man may swagger and sneer at all thes'
sacred influences, even at his own mother
and talk boldly about the foolish old woman
but we would shun him as we would
ruffian.
