portant because it isuniversal, and be-
cause the eedueation itbestowsbeing wO-
ven in with the woofof childhood, gives
form and color to the whole texture
of life. There are few. who can re-
eeive the honors Of college, but all
are graduates Of. the hearth. The
learning Of the university may fade
from the recollection /; its classic lore
may moulder. in the halls Of memory;
but the simple lessons at home enam-
eled upon the heart of childhood, defy
the rust ofyears, aud outliye the more
mature, but less vivid picture of after
years. So deep, SO lasting indeed, are
the impressions Of early life, that you
often see a man in theimbeciltiy ofage
holding fresh in his recollection the
events of childhood, while all the wide
space between that and the present
hour is a blasted and forgotten waste.
You have, perchance, seen an old
and half-obliterated portrait, and in
the attempt to have it cleaned and res

while q brighter and more perfect pie

view. This portrait, first drawn upon
canvas, is no inapt illustration Of
youth; and. though it may be concealed
by some after-design, still the original
traits will shine through the outward
picture, giving it tone while fresh. and
surviving it in decay. Thus it is with

PerspiratlOn.

Checked perspiration is the fruitful
cause Of sickness, disease and death
to multitudes every year. Heat is
constantly generated within the human
bodyLby. the chemical disOrganizatiOn
1.-The combustion of the food we eat.
There are seven millions of tubes or
pores on the surface Of the body,
which in health are constantly open,
conveying from the system, by what
is called insensible perspiration, this
internal heat, which, having answered
its purpose, passes off like the Jets of
steam which ere thrown from the es-
cape pipes, in pufs, Of any ordinary
steam enginey but this insensible
perspiration carries with it, in a dis
solved form, very much of the waste
matter of the system, to the extent of
apound or two, or more, every twenty
four hours. If, then, the pores of the
skin are cIosed-if the multitude of
valves whichare placedQOver the whole
surface of the human body are shut
down, two things take place. First,
the internal heat is prevented from
passing of, il accumulates every mo-
ment, the person expresses himself as
burning up, and then large draughts Of
water are swallowed to quench the
internal FIRE, and this is fever. When
the warm steam is constantly escaping
from the body in health, it keeps the
skin moist, and there is a soft, pleas
feeling and warmth about it, but when
the pores are closed, the skin feels
harsh, hot and dry-Bo8ton Post.

QUIT DRINKING POISONOUS LIQUORS
PATENT IMPROVED PROCESS FOR MAKING
ALL KINDS OF LIQUORS AND VINEGAR INSTANT LY
BY THE USE or
LACOUR'S ESSENTIAL OILS.


THESE OILS arc obtained by Distilation at
j the Chemical Laboratory Parish Of jefferson,
of Pierre Lacour, author of Lacour's Chemical
Analysis. Lacour's Chemical Manpuations, La
cour on the Manufacture Of Liquors &c.
Purchasers are particularly requested to return
the TASKS and obtain their money, if the Oil does
not give perfect satisfaction.
LACOUR'S OIL OF COGNAC converts ncji-
trail spirit to superior imitation Of Imported
Brandies, viz Otard, Sazerac. M0rett Cognac,
Poulteney, Seignette, United Vineyard Proprie-
tors. Castilion and London Dock Brandies. These
liquors will have a full, fruity flavor and beau
tiful, sparkling color. Common Rectifed Whis-
key will be changed by the use Of the oil Of Cog
nae to New York Brandy, Pine Apple Brandy.
Common Cognac Brandy, DC.
LACOUR'S OIL OF RYE changes Rectiied
Whiskey to Monongahela Rye Whskey, Old Vir-
ginia Malt Whiskcy. Bourbon Whskey, &c.
OIL OF CEDRAT changes common Rcctiied
Whiskey to Old Irish Malt Whiskcy, and n supe-
rior article Of Scotch Whskey.
OIL OF GIN converts the poorest WhiSkcy to
Holland Gin, Schedam Sehnapps, Rose Gin, En-
glish Gin, &c.
LACOUR'S CONCENTRATED ACID viii, in
five hours after being mixed change five gallons
of good Vinegar and twenty five gallons Of water
to thirty gallons of the most acid Vinegar that
can be found in the market. BY the use Of La
cour's Concentrated Acid Vinegar can be made
for one dollar ana sixty Genus per Darrel
FOR MAKING LIQUORS, Lacours Oils re-
quire no preparation-only pour the oil into the
whskey and shake we'll The liquors thus made
will have fine natural aroma, fnll, rich, oily
taste beautiful transparent color and a fine
head Lacour's oils exert three distinct proper
ties in converting common whiskey to brandy,
gin. &. The first property combines with and
subsidies in the form of foculent particles the
whole of the grain oil, (Amylic Alcohol) The
whiskey is thus deprived Of that peculiar rrita-
ting and burning taste, and becomes needtul
spirit the second property consists in an oily
mucillaginOus taste impaired to the liquor, which
renders it mellow, and imparts an appearance OF
great age the third property is exhibited in the
rich vinous nutty odor that is impaired to the
liquor, which renders distinction from the genuine
brands impossible.
These oils are put up in quart TASKS each
flask contains sufficient oil for making three hun
dred gallons of liquor. Full and comprehensive
directions accompany the bottles. Price 50 per
bottle.
For sale at the corner of St. Charles and Poy-
dras streets.
One bottle of these oils FIVE in number, will be
securely packed and shipped, with bill of lading
to any part of the country, upon the receipt OF
$40, TO the address of
z. LACOUR, New Orleans.
Purchasers are requested, as guarantee OF
good faith, to furnish us the name of any house
in New Orleans and we will ship them package
of the Oils. If they do not perform all that is
claimed for them they will cost nothing.

COLD WATER.-None, who have heard Mr.
Cough, the celebrated temperance lecturer, can
forget his brilliant apostrophe to cold water.
Catching up from the table a tumbler filed with
the sparkling crystal, he exclaims
Look at that, ye thirsty ones of the earth
Behold it See its purity How it gitters. as
if mass of liquid gems! 1t is a beverage
brewed by the hands of the Almighty himself
Not In the simmering STILL over smoky fires.
choked with poisonous gases, and surrounded by
the stencil OF sickening odors and rank corrnp-
tions, doth your Father in heaven prepare the
precious essence of life, the pure cold water ;
but In the green glade, aud grassy dell where
the red deer wanders, and the child loves to play.
there God brews it ; and down. down in the
deepest valleys, where the fountains murmer and
the rills sing and high up the tall mountain
tops, where the naked granite glitters like gold
In the sun, where the storm clouds brood, and
the thunder storms crash and away far out on
the wide sea, where the hurricanes howl music
and the waves roar the chorus sweeping the
march of God-there He brews it, that beverage
of life-health giving water And everywhere
1t is thing OF beauty ; cleaning in the dewdrop
Singing IN the summer Tain--shining in the
ice-gem, till the trees all seem turned into living
Jewels-spreadlng golden veil over the setting
sun. or white gauZe over the midnight moon
sporting IN the misunderstanding in the glaciers
dancing in the hail shower-folding its BRIGHT
snow curtains softly about the wintry world, and
weaving the many colored iris-that seraphs'
zone of the sky-whose warp is the rain drop of
earth, whose woof is the sunbeam of Heaven, all
checkered over. with celestial flowers, by the
mystic hand of refraction-still, always it i,
beautiful, that blessed life-water No poison
bubbles on the brink its form brings no sadness
or murder no blood stains its limpd glars
broken hearted wives pale widows and starving
orphans shed no tears in its depths no drunk
ards shrieking ghost from the grave curses in
the words of eternal despair; beautiful pure
blessed, and glorious give me for ever the spark.

TRIBtTE TO MERITED WORTH.

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 phan-

frail mortality. Empiricism floods the columns
of our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
singing peans to the worth of their egotistical
charatansm. Below we append letter from
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 ghed down by the heavy
hand of disease can. Contrary to hope, the ability
Of a skilful physician has restored him to his for
mer health Relieved from his terrible situation,
and impelled by gratitude, he makes known his
case and remedial agent, and his statement is au-
thenticated by notary public The demands of

is given more to warn the unwary than to sound
the praises of physician of whom scores Of like
