for Disea ses of the Bladder and Kidneys, Secret Diseases,
Structures, Weaknesses, and all Diseases of the Sexual
Organs, whether in Male or Female. from whatever cause
they may have originated, and no matter Of how long
standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease. which when
once seated in the system, will surely go down from one
generation to another, undermining the constitution. and
sapping the very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself
in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day in a city
like this, and fill the papers with glaring falsehoodS too
well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac
quainted with their tricks. You cannot be too careful in
the selection of a remedy in these cases.
The fluid extract Buchu has been pronounced by emf.

THE GREATEST REMEDY EVE KNOWN.
1t is a medicine perfectly pleasant in its taste, and very
innocent in its action, and yet so thorough that il annihi-
lates every particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this
disease and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up
the disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility brought on by selfabuse, most
terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the hu
man race to untimely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
hopes of parents, and ~blighting in the bud the glorious
ambition of many a noble youth, can be cured by this
lNFAILIBT4E REMEDY. - {
And as a medicine which must benefit everybody from the
simply delicate to the confined and d~espairing invalid, no
equal is to be found, acting both as a cure and preventive

Not long since, in a car running out of pleas
ant town in the State of Ohio, q lady was assidu
ously distributing tracts, which were always gra-
ceiousy and courteousy received by the passengers
The tract, however, which the female colporteur
was circulating on the present OCCASION happened
to be entitled "Gve me thy Heart" an excellent
and popular treatise upon the divine injunction
This tract she presented to very quiet-looking
gentleman, who read its title, and with pleasant
smile upon his face said
81 am sorry, but really can't do it, madam
this woman sitting by me is my wife,
The passengers burst out into roars of laughter,
in which the tract distributor herself could not
help joining.

BEAUTY. Beauty in itself and of ITSELF has,
believe less power in determining matrimonial
choice than at first sight it might seem natural
that it should have. The charm of mere physical
and corporeal beauty is perhaps too open and i'm
too strong in proportion to its farther effects; for
the imagination of man wishes to feel that it has
something to come to- and there is a charm more
insidiously winning in that which turns to beauty
as you advance than in that which declares itself
as beauty from the first n X There may be
much beauty, eminent in its way, which is but the
perfume and suppliance of a minute:' but there
exists also species and quality of beauty, the eff
feet whereof Gas conceive) it would not be possi-
BILE for daily familiarity to deaden and the power
whereof may be expected to last as long as the
beauty itself lasts, and perhaps much longer II.

RICH JOKE A gentleman played off rich
joke on his better half the other day. Being some
thing of an epicure he took into his head tnat he
should like to have first rate dinner. So he ad
dressed her note, politely informing her that a
gentleman of her acquaintance-an old and true
friend, would dine with her that day" AS soon as
she received it all hands went to work to get every
thing in order. Precisely at II o'clock she was
prepared to receive her guest. The house was as
clean as a new pin-a sumptuous dinner was on
the table, and she was arrayed in her best attire
A gentle knock was heard, and she started with
palpitatng heart to the door. She thought it must
be an old friend, perhaps brother from the place
whence they once moved. On opening the door she
saw her husband with a smiling countenance.
'Why my DEAR" says she in an anxious tone,
"where is the gentleman of whom you spoke in
your note!"
Why replied her husband complacently,
"here he isl
&C You said gentleman of my acquaintance, an
old and true friend of mine, would dine with us
to-day"
"Well,' said he good humoredly "am | not
a gentleman of your acquaintance-an old and true
friend?'
ooh is there no one else but you!"
"No"
"Well declare, this is too bad," said she.
The husband laughed immoderately and his wife
pouted but finally they sat down costly together,
and for once had a good dinner without company.

A SCHOOL TEACHER MURDERED by Boy
ANOTHER MATT WARD AFFAIR.-We learn
from gentleman who was all eyewitness,
the following particulars OF most horrible
and tragical affair that occurred at Pontotoc,
Miss, on Monday last 1t appears that Mr..
Brown, the principal Of the male academy
at Pontotoc, had punished one Of his pupils
about week since. A brother of the boy
that was whipped by the name Of Wray,
made threats against Mr.. Brown for the
aforesaid punishment, to which but little at.
tention was paid. On Monday, young
Wray, youth of some seventeen or eighteen
years old, took position where Mr.. Brown
would pass on his way home from school,
and waited until he came along, when Wray
attacked him.
The two cInched, Brown only acting in
self defence, and those who saw it thought
it only to be a scufll between them, until
they saw Brown run few yards, his hands
upon his abdomen, and fall down lifeless. --
While they were clin ched, Wray had inhict
ed two wounds upon Brown with large
bowie knife, which killed him almost in
stantly. The young man was arrested at
once. Mr.. Brown was a man much respect
ed, and leaves young widow, to whom he
had been married but few months, TO mourn
his carly and untimely end. This is one Of
the most horrible, cold -blooded murders we
have noticed in some time, and is deeper
outrage than the Matt Ward case - Nash
