week, and stopped at Browns Hotel, in almost
dying state. He has for some time been marked
as the victim Of the fell deceitful disease, con-

trip on horseback. He started, intending to visit
his mother in Virginia but unable to proceed
on horseback further than Tuscumbis, where he
took the cars. When lie arrived he was speech

tons of JOY, anger, fear doubt or hope but there
are very few who can give anything like an ade
quate description of the exquisite, heavenly and
thrilling Joy of warm, affectionate kissing We
copy below three Of the best attempts that We have
ever seen. The first is by a young lady during
her first year of courtship:
Let thy arm Irvine
Around me like of love,
And thy fond lip, so soft.
To mine be passionaely pressed,
As it has been Oft
The next is By lady after her engagement Il
will readily be seen that her powers OF description
are far in advance of the ones quoted above
Sweetest love.
Place thy dear arm beneath1ny dropping head,
And let me lowly nestle on thy heart;
Then turn those soul-lt orbs on me and press
My parting lips to taste the ecstacy
Impaired by each long and lingering KISS
But the best thing we have seen is the follow
ing, by Alexander Smith. We think, however.
that when a man so freely INDUCES in osculatory

he should be choked off Hear him

MOTORPATHY

Our Institution ut Halsted Hall, Rochester,
y. Y is now in the successful treatment of
Chronic diseases, by this system of Therapeu-
tics, which is simple, rational and reliable,
based upon new pathological principles, by
which the worst forms of PrOiaPSRs Uteri,
and other functional and organic dcrange-
ments are cured without supporters, or any
of the usual treatment Of the day. 1t con-
trolls with ease the most unmanageable and
long standing diseases, without pain or incon-
vencnce. The principles of Motorpathy have
been thoroughly tested in the treatment of
some five thousand cases of female diseases,
some of which have been cured in few days,
others in few weeks.
MotOrpathy gives vitality and force TO tho
functional powers of all the organs. 1t res
torres the constitution from the abuses of dis
sipation and self-indulgence, and is the only
agent which will cure spinal difficulties, pre-
vent abortion and obviate stcrility. 1t is
equally efficient in the cure of incipicnt con-
sumption, bronchial affections, paralysis,
nervous arrangements, liver complaint, and
all troubles arising from organic weakness OF
torpid circulation, as dyspepsia, scrofula,
painful periods, &c, &c.
This treatment has also been successful in
epilepsy, heart disease and dropsy. In those
cases of peculiar nervous excitabilty, loss of
memory, or slight alterations OF mind where
the Lunatc Asylum is forbidding the success
in this Institution is truly gratifying.
There is an extensive Water Cure attached,
| with gardens, lawns and spacious accommo-
dations, where kindness and pleasure arc
among the remedial means to secure bnoyancy
of spirits and cheerful enjoyment.
A work on Hoiorpathy, and other particu-
lars, can be had, free of postage, by enclosing
! ten letter stamps, directed to

WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS
INSURANCE COMPANY.

THIS Company was Incorporated by the
Il Legislature of the Commonwealth Of
Massachusetts in the year 1852, and have
paid in and secured Capital of $1,000
and deposited with the Treasurer of this
State the amount required by an Act of the
Legislature passed ia October last, Cor the
greater security of those insuring in foreign
Companies. The Dwellings Of the Farmers
and others in the country will be insured at
very low rate for 3, 4 OF years, and at the
expiration of the Policy, can be renewed
without additional expense, other than the
Premium.
II is earnestly recommended to all, who
are not already insured, to become so with
out delay, for you know not how soon your
dwelling may be laid in ashes
Call on the undersigned previous to insur-
ing, and learn the extremely low rates at
which your dwellings can be insured. An
other advantage in insuring in this Company
is, that it is Stool cOmPahy,which precludes
the possibility of an assessment.
