The peculiar maladics to which females arc
subject, commonly produce great bodily cx-
haustion, accompanied by depressed md of
ten gloomy state of mind. AS tho system de-
clincs in strength, there is loss OF nervous
power, and this very naturally impairs the cn-
ergy Of the mind and dis,urbs the cquanmity
ofthc temper. Every candid woman who has
suffered from female complaints will admit this .
to be the mournful truth. Now, TO obtain re-
lief, it is only necessary to stop the tendency
to depletion and debility. This is done by re-
newing that fountain ofheath and strengthen

dence is thus using the enemies of Freedom
as the chief instruments in the advance
ment of the cause of truth and right, by the
folly of their counsels.
The appearance of Uncle 7'm's Cabin
legitimatefruit of the Fugitive Slave Law
has formed a new era in the history of the
times. 1t "holds the mirror up to nature
and, somehow, contrary to all former ex-
perience, has equal fascination for the enc
mics as for the friends of the great truth it
teaches. The cause of this anomaly is
perhaps traceable, in great part, to the
fact, that it is the first instance in which
Southern life and manners have been de-
lneated by the hand of genius. The Peo-
pie amazed and delighted with picture of
themselves, in many respects pleasing, and
in all respects faithful, though its main de-
sign is toexhibit to them their greatest de-
formity. The sensation is new to them;
and they are affected, as we may imagine
an Indian, in his native wilds, whose ideal
of perfection in art is bow and arrow,
would be by the sight Of Catlin's Gallery.
But the warm sympathies::w which the book is
to awaken in cveryhuman breast
have doubtless had much to do in giving it
in the South, as elsewhere. The
human heart as naturally sympathizes with
suffering as the sparks fly upwards; and it
as naturally visits the oppressor and wrong
doer with the righteous indignation, which
is the voice of God within us.

GOVERNMENT TREAsURE-Tbe NewYorl

GOVERNMENT TREAsURE.-The New Y orll
subtreasury, now contains Ss10,OOO,OOO,
in gold, and few hundred dollars silver
coin. One of the city papers describes the
safe, located, in the Custom House, in which
this money skept. 1t is composed of dou-
Bile sheets of iron, strengthened by cross
bars of lattice work of cast steel rods, be-
tween which no instrument can cut or file.
The safe is fifteen feet long, eight wide, and
about as many feet high. 1t is divided in
to two apartments, inthe inner one of which
the money sdeposited, audit has three thick
iron doors, each having two locks, thekeys
to which are distributed at night to the diff
ferent clerks-the Assistant Treasurer keep
ing himself the register of the principal key,
so that the safe cannot be unlocked unless
all are present. On the sides of the safe
are tiers Of boxes, capable of holding in all
nine millions six hundred thousand dollars.
They are now filed with coin, which is put
up in bags of FIVE thousand dollars each, ex-
cept few containing small amounts in ma
king payments. The weight of the ten
millions of gold now in custody is eighteen
and three quarter tons.

The ONO HAS TWO SIDEs-We spent
some five days in creeping up the uniater-
esting Mississippi with its low banks and
muddy waters. and were now on the beau
tiful Ohio. We had seen nothing but slave
villages, which as clearly as the impress
of slgnet ring, Wore the stamp of the in
stitution. l hope there are ten righteous
men in Grand Gulf and Helena, and other
such places, say I hope so. One morn
ing we saw a very bright village, the only
specimen of northern town | had seen for
long time. 1t really did my heart good.
My bump of "pOints Of tie compass' is
strangely deficient, and | am much more
likely to be "turned round'' in place
that otherwise, and SO | thought | at last
saw one thriving slave village.
"What fine Kentucky town; said /,
that looks like a New England village"
"No you don't!" said neighbor, "that
is in Illinois,
"Well | thought it was fine production
for slavery, but really l supposed it was the
Kentucky side"
"You can always know which side of
the river town is, by the look of it; put
the sun-shiny towns on the free side, and
the scaly towns on the slave side"
"And is the difference marked?"

ence is as plain as the nose on that mans

Housekeeping is not SO full of sunshine
and rose-colored bliss as many imagine. Il
is hardly passible to get along without kitch
en- girls and chamber maids, and what with
their wastes, wages, wittels and sass-says
Aunt Sally-they are plaguey drawbacks
on domestic peace and comfort. Old Pep
pcrgrass was the customer" for discrimi-
nation between the useful and the careless.
Peppergrass sent word to the intelligence
Office that he wanted a good girl for gener-
al homework. About the time he expect
ed an applicant, he laid broom down in
the yard near the gate: Presently a girl
comes to the gate, opens it, and strolls up
to the house; the broom being immediately
in her path, Miss Betty strides over it; the
old man was on the watch, and the first sa
lutte the girl got was,
81 don't won't you!"
The girl sloped, and suddenly another
bullet-headed Nancy appears: seeing the
old broom in way, she gives it kick, and
waddles up tQShe house.
"Iou won'tsuit me, that's certain Miss
Mopsy!'' bawls Peppergrass.
She disappeared in a hurry and finally a
third appears, opened the gate, and coming
into the yard, she carefully closes the gate
behind her, and walks up-thc broom is
still in the path; she picks it up and car
ries it along to the house, where she depos-
its it along side the woodshed. Before the
girl could explain her business there, Pep
pergress bawls out,
Eyes, yes, come in, you'll suit mel"
And she did, for that girl lived with
Peppergrass seven years, and only quit
living with him to go to housekeeping on
her own hook, and a capital wife she made
PeppcrgrasS was right-lanhee Blade.

Reasons why we should Demand a Main.

I 1. We should demand the Maine La,
because the traffic in intoxicating drinks ha
cost the United States in the last ten wears
direct tax of 5000, OoO, 900, and an ind;
rect tax of an equal sum; making 1900,
OOo,0
2. We should labor to obtain a Law
prohibiting the sale ofspiritous liquors, be
cause this business has sent 100000 child
rem to the poor-house.
3. We should seek protection from thi.
traffic, because it has consigned $50. OOC
persons to jails and prisons.
4. We should urge the necessity of the
Maine Law, because drunkenness has des-
troyed $4,000 precious lives.
5. We should demand prohibitorv law
against the sale of intoxicating drinks. be.
cause it has made more than | 900 maniacs
6. We should demand this law, be.
cause liquor has caused 1000 persons to
commit suicide.
7. We should demand the Maine Law
because drunkenness has destroyed by fire,
d. other calamities, property to the amount
of $10,OOO,OOO.
8. We should demand the protection
from the ram traffic, because it has made
900, 900 widows.
8. We should demand the Maine Law.
because drunkenness has instigated 1900
murders.
10. We should demand this law, be-
cause the use of spirituous liquors has made
100000 orphans.
All the above are marks of the Liquor
traffic in the United States, in the last ten
years, which is an expense, and loss, that
we cannot well afford to suffer to continue,
for the benefit of few rumsellers.
We propose as our jails, prisons, and
poorhouses will soon be vacated, if we can
stop this trade of death, that if these deal
ers in liquid fire cannot get living at any
other business, we will assign to them these
vacated tenements, and support them at
public expense, which will cost us far less
than the traffic now does. - PWs6uyh

THE VENoMOuS WORM.

Who has not heard of the rattle snake
or copperhead? An unexpected sight o
either of these reptiles, will make even thu
lords of creation recoil; but there is spc
cies of worm, found in various parts of the
country, which conveys apoison of nature
so deadly, that, compared with it even the
the venom of the rattle-snake is harmless
To guard our readers against this foe of hui
man kind, is the object of this lesson.
This worm varies much in size 1t is
frequently an inch in diameter, but as it is
rarely seen, except when coiled, its length
can hardly be conjectured. 1t is of dull,
lead color, and generally lives near spring
or small stream of water, and bites the I'M
fortunate people who are in the habit Of go
ing there to drink The brute creation it
never molests. They avoid it with the
same instinct that teaches the animals of
Peru to shun the deadly coya.
Many of these reptiles have long infested
our land, to the misery and destruction of
many of our fellow citizens. have there
fore, had frequent opportunities of being
the melancholy spectators of the effects pro-
duced by the subtle poison which this worm
infuscs.
The symptoms offs bite are terrible. The
eyes of the patient become red and fry,
his tongue swells to an immoderate size,
and obstructs his utterance; and delirium,
of the most horrid character, quickly fol-
lows.-Sometimcs, in his madness, he at
tempts the destruction of his nearest friends.
If the sufferer has family, his weeping
wife and helpless infants are not unfre
quently the objects of his frantic fury. In
word, he exhibits, to life all the detesta
BILE passions that rankle in the bosom of
savage; and such is the spell in which his
senses are locked, that no sooner has the
unhappy patient recovered from the parox
ysm of insanity, occasioned by the bite,
than he seeks out the destroyer, for the sole
purpose of being bitten again,
| have seen good old father, his locks
as white as snow, his steps slow and trem
bling, beg in vain of his only son to quit
the lurking place of the worm. My heart
bled when he turned away; for | knew the
fond hope, that his son would be the ''staff
of his declining years." had supported him
through many sorrow. Youths of Amer
lea, would you know the name of this rep
tile? 1t is called the WORM OF THE STILL.
