THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety from its cures of every variety of pulmonary disease, that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evil dences of its virtues in any community where it has been employed So wide is the field of its filness and so numerous the of its cures, that almcst every section of the country abounds in persons publicly known who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by it's use. When once tried its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too appa- to escape observation and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antdote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affec tions of the pulmonary organs which are incident to our climate. Not only in formidable attacks upon the lungs but for the milder varit ties of COLDs, CoUGHs, HoARsENEss, 6c. and for CHIL- DRBN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine that can be obtained.

A LIND OF THE Law. An eminent
lawyer, trying an action in one Of our
western courts for breach of promise, re-
sorted to the expedient Of displaying to
ithe jury the personal charms Of the de-
ceivcd fair one. He was well enabled to
rely upon this ruse, for the plaintiff was
most beautiful woman. and had ga. during
the trial in full view of the jury. Her
extreme beauty evidently had an effect
upon the Immortal twelve" and her coun-
sci closed his appeal, confident of achiev-
ing substantial victory over the wretch
who had cruelty deceived SO much lowell
ness. The defendants counsel arose to
reply, presenting the facts of the case as
they appeared in evidence, and agreeing
with his opponent in the praises lavished
on on the apparent beauty of the fair litigant;
but, gentleman of the jury" said he, "this
lovely woman, with an angels face, who
seeks redress at your hands, and charges
upon my client such grievous offences.
has, gentlemen of the jury-a soooaen lea.
Look gentlemen, and then say, upon Your
oaths, whether that is not enough for doing
all that is charged upon him. .
The wooden leg was too much for tbc
chivalry of that jury, and the defendant
carried the day.

protective reasons, of providing a home
market for farmers and shop keepers; or
Of raising up an ingenious, intelligent race

raising up anything but happy class Of

This whole legislation is wrong. 1t is
either blind submission to the protective
theory, or weak Precipitation at an i'm
mense cost of the Louisianian planters
Under either sapposition it is an ahsurdi-
ty and a damage to the country, and
should at once have the consideration Of
Congress.
The hope also of making our country
Independent in its sugar as it is in it's
wheat and corn, is all very we'll if we
were not paying such an enormous price
for this proud satisfaction. And after all
this hope is merely sentiment. We can
scarcely imagine g contingency in which
our foreign sugars will be cut of for any
length Of time by war or calamities. TO
the minds of many, beside, this very de
pendence of one country on another is
more and more becoming an object Of de-
sire. The greatest safeguard against war,
1T is hoped, will be the mutual interests of
nations. c.L.
