HoLLowAY's PILLS, in spite of the preju
dices of medical maratinets, have found THEN
way into the leading hospitals and dispensa
ries of Europe, and are now the established
family medicine of all classes in the United
States Upon the stomach and liver, which
prepare and temper the blood, upon the or.
gans which vitalize it in the process Of respi
ration and upon the excretory vessels, which
discharge from the system the residium not
required for the purpose of nutrition, these
pills operate in an almost maraeulous man
ner, regulating, invigorating, cleansing, and
fortifying the whole physique. In bilious
disorders, dyspepsia, asthma, diarrhoea,
dysentery, sick headache, constipation, gen
eral debility, and complaints peculiar to fe-
males, their effect is astonishing

A MEDICAL REVOLUTION!
THE WORLD UNANIMOUS.
HALL oWAYS OINTMENT.

TIE GREAT COUNTER IRRITANT!! !
The virus of disease often makes its way to the
internal organs through the pores of the skim
This penetrating Ointment, melting under the
hand as it is rubbed in, is absorbed through the
same channels, and, reaching the seat of iniam-
nation, promptly and invariably subdues it,
whether located in the k idneys the liver, the
lungs, or any other important organ. 1t pene-
tratos the surface to the interior, through the
countless tubes that communicate with the skin
as summer rain passes into the fcvered earth, diff
fusing its cool and regenerating influence.
SKIN DISEASES AND GLANDULAR sWELTINGs.
Every species of exterior irritation is quickly
reduced by the anti-infammatory action of this
Ointment. Angry Eruptions, such as Salt Rheum,
Eryspelas, Tetter, RingwOrm. Scald Head. Netue
Rash, Scabics (or Itch) &c, die out to return mo-
more, under its application. Hospital experiences
in all parts Of the world proves its nfalibiIity in
diseases of the skin. the muscles, the joints and
the glands.
ULCERS, SORES AND TUNoRs.
The effect of this unrivalled external remedy
upon Scrofula,and other viruIent ulcers and sores
is almost miraculous, II first discharges the poi.
son which produces suppuration and proud flesh,
and thus the cures which its healing properties
atter"ard complete are safe as well as permanent.
WOUNDS RRUIsEs, BURNS AND scALDs
In cases Of the fracture Of the bones, injuries
caused by steam explosions Bruises, Burns,
Scads, Rheumatism Stiffness of the Joints ana
warmly recommended by the faculty. This mar
vclous remedy has been introduced by its inven-
tor in person into all the leading Hospitals of
Europe, and no private household should be with
out it.
UNDENTABLE TESTIMONY.
The Medical Staff of the French and English
Armies in the Crimea have officially signed their
approval Of iIallloway's Ointment. as the most
reliable dressing for sabre cuts, stabs and gun
shot wounds. II is also used by the surgeons of
the Allied Navies.

Ode to Democracy.

All hail to Democracy, the safeguard of freedom,
And to Democrats, too for It's often we need 'em,
With their power to impose on each sectional clan
The inglorious defeat of its favorite man
Who'd presume upon sectional piuions to ride,
To seat now filled by our countrys pride.
Cheerfully to Democracy the task we assign
OF guarding our country in this perilous time, Ter,
And when vile oflice-seekers would our Union sew
Democracy, it's thine to defeat them, and ever
Take care that our young eagle whose flight is so
By sectional parties is never controlld [bold.
Democracy, our pride is now based on its power
To destroy in the bud, every ism bearing flower
To preserve to be envied by each despot and slave
Uncurtail'd in proportions, the gift of the brave
To add star to star to this bright constellation
May it rule DER the world as it does Ger this ma

THE ingratitude of man to his fellow man is so
l. often met in life, that testimonials, prompted
by the finer feelings of the heart are oasis in the
life Of those who sacrifice their best days in phian
thropic devotion to the allevation of the ills of
fral mortality. Empricism foods the columns
Of our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters,
singing peans to the worth of their egotistical
charlatanism. Below we append u letter from a
worthy man who, brief period since, seemed
destined to shuttle Off this mortal coll who
looked forward to his dissolution with that pleas
ure which only those weighed down by the heavy
hand of disease can. Contrary to hope the ability
of skilful physician has restored him TO his for
mer health. Relieved from his terrible situation,
and impellcd by gratitude, he makes known his
case and remedial agent, and his statement is au-
thenticatcd by notary public. The demands of
society impcriouSy command its publicity and it
is given more to warn the unwary than to sound
the praises Of a physician Of whom scores Of like
cases can be ctld

The TARANTULA's NEsT-The San An,
dreas independent thus describes a tarantu-
las nest found in that vicinity:
THE chamber or round cell is about six
inches long, perfectly smooth and of vel
yety softness inside, entirely waterproof,
with positive condenser or pneumatic en-
gine at the bottom to absorb the superabun-
dant moisture. The substance of the house
is about as thick as, and of the consistency
of, bonnet-board ; and it is no doubt formed
by the paper-making process. The mouth
Of the cell is closed by means Of frather mas
sive trapdoor held down by elastic hinges.
The side rim, being adhesive, firmly holds on
the lid assisted by atmospheric pressure, so
that it takes considerable effort to raise the
trap-door. This permanent fertilization pro
tects the inmate from heat and cold wind
and rain, and more especially against his
common enemy, the wasp. Wasps destroy
tarantula's whenever they find them outside
of the hermitage, and this is why so few Of
them are discovered travelling abroad. The
nests are planted in the ground in yeriscal
position. 1t is said that if the trap-door is
removed during wet weather, the tardntula
will manufacture Il new one in less than an
hours time. This beats the mechanism of
either the hornet or the spider

THE World WE LIVE IN.-Forsake the
world, indeed Who made it who fitted
US for it ? who placed US in it ? what duties
lies out Of it? Not one. For love to our
fellow-creatures is of God, the love to God
is OF our fellowcreatureS, and both alike
draw breath from this bright and breath
ing world We must not forsakc the world
even though it should have been darkcned
by the sins Of ourselves and others birds OF
calm are often seen in storms the primrose
smiles on the brow of the windest hill, nor
cares for sleet or snow and hath not a
christian soul the same power to preserve
itself from seattle which has been given to
insensate and inanmate things? And then
what sort of a world is to be submitted for
the e@e We are wickcdIy bid to abandon
A dark, narrow world, indeed yet narrow
as it is, haunted by thoughts that can, and
too often do, debase- and terrify into idocy
or madness. For nature thwarted must
dwindle into decay or distortion the very
shape Of the soul becomes deformcd its Inca
nents ghastly, as with premature age the
spring, is struck out Of life the gracious
law Of her seasons is disobeyed and Oh the
tree of knowledge we are to look for fruits be
fore blossoms ! Bad philosophy had worse
religion Commend to such Christianity as
Mr.. Bowles breaches so eloquently in this
poem. To use his own words, no priest is he
WHO deems the Almighty frowns upon his throne
Because two pair of harmless dowagers,
Whose life has lapsed without a stain, beguile
An evening hour with cards who deems that
He'll burns fiercer for n saraband.'
We dare say Mr.. Bowles, like ourselves,
has long given up dancing and that though
he may occasionally join in a rubber of whist
for 5ixpenny points he is, like ourselves no
very assdous cardplayer Tothcr evening
we laid aside our crutch, and tried, not un-
successfully to standu in a quadrile, rather
than that fifteen young people should be dis
appointed of their doS-ados, ana VIC acquit-
ted ourselves like Lancer. Same evening
we faced an old lady at whist, and with the
exception of a single revoke, which had like
to break down an old house about our ears,
played to the delight of Hoyle's ghost, who
kept looking all the while over our shouI-
ders, pointing to each victorious card in our
irresistible hand.--Prof. Was0a's Essays.

A Curious INcIDENT.-The fact we are
about to relate, says the Philadelphia Ereas-
ing Journal, has the very rare merit Of truth
combined with the pleasant excitement Of
the wonderful Some time ago a friend of
ours purchased a number Of picture frames,
tastefully made of acorns and handsomely
stained and varnished, which he placed in
his library in his country-house. The ensu-
ing season he and his family departed on a
rather distant tour, and for some months
the house remained closed and untenanted.
The season was an unusually damp one du-
ring their absence, and upon their return
it was deemed advisable to have their rural
homestead well aired and dried by constant
fires in all the rooms before inhabiting it
again Orders to this effect were therefore
dispatched and the opening began under
the direction of the old housekeeper. Win
dowS and doors were flung wide open one
after another, letting in the sunshine to mil
dewed walls and hangingS, until the house
hold corps arrived at the library, when as
the first pair of shutters swung back, the
breeze futtered in and played on the walls
with sound as Of rustling foliage, causing
a universal and rather startled movement Of
the mysterious sound. That the astonish-
ment Of the gazerS was by no means lessened
when they beheld the cause of the rustling
our readers will easily credit when We inform
them that several acorns on each picture
frame had sprouted, and a grove of minia-
ture oaks were gently waving their tiny
boughs and futtering their dark green leaf
lets around the majestic brows of Washing
ton, Franklin and Adams and halfdozen
Others of our venerable fathers of the Re
public. Mature herself had broken through
her accustomed laws to crown these patriot
heroes with her own wreaths of honor, and
offer, even in her dying struggles, this beau
tiful tribute to their memory.
