Ola Men In OLD Times.

Modern luxury is not favorable to long lite.
In the patriarchal era, if translators of the
scriptures are correct in their interpretations
Of the Mosaic measurement Of time. an an
Gent Hebrew was quite youth at the age Of
q century or so, and could scarcely be consid-
cred settled for life before he had reached his
second centennial epoch. Now, however. a
man is venerable at fifty, and although Old
Parr saw his l59th birthday, and the census
occasionally brings a centenarian to light,
seventy is usually the extreme limit of hu-
man existence. The fact is, We moderns eat
too much, drink too much, loaf too much.
aud work too little. We sroil our stomachs
with over indulgence, and the result is i'm
pure blood vitiated secretions, q 6isordered
system, and premature decay. The root of
halfthe fatal diseases Of the race is dyspep-
STA, a complaint unknown. il is presumed, in
the DAYS of Moses and the prophets, when
turtle soup, terrapin stew, rich Pdtes and
champagne WIRE uninvented. AS these. and
hundreds of other indigestibles however,
form an Indispensable portion ofkhe carte of
the nineteenth century, and human nature
or rather artificial appetite uiH invoke dys-
pepsia with all its kindred horrors. one of the
great objects of iaedical science should be to
provide "a cure for them. This We really
think has been accomplished by Holloway.
His Pills seer almost to realize the fable of
the EIiI5r lft0. There can be no manner
of doubt, unless we choose to reject mass
of testimony which would be deemed conclu
sive by any court and jury in Christendom),
that they are the most potent and untailing
remedy the world has ever seen for indiges-
ton, and all disorders of the stomach, the
liver and the bowels. We do not advise our
readers to tempt an attack of these maladies
by neglecting the condition of health but If
the mischief is done, We most earnestly re-
commend this famous laxative and stomachic
for strange to say, the Pills combine the
two qualities-as the speediest. the safest,
and the most iniallible means Of cure. In so
doing we simply act upon our own convic-
tons, founded on personal observation. as
well as on volumes upon volumes of unim-
peachable vouchers.-Bostoa Trareler."

MunRAY & LASMAN,s FLORIDA WATER
1t is q curious coincidence, that the land
which our adventurous forefathers, in the
days Of Ferdinand and Isabella, supposed to
contain = fountain gifted with the power Of
comforting renewed youth and surprising
beauty upon ali who laved in it, should have
furnished the materials for the most popular
perfume ever introduced in Spanish America.
Murray q Lanman's fragrant toilet water, is
manufactured in New York from rare aro-
matte flowers, gathered in the garden of ma
ture which borders the everglades of Florida,
and is really what 1t purports to be, the con-
ccntrated essence ofthe most odoriferous pro-
auctions of the floral kingdom. For years it
has been esteemed in Brazil, and in fact
throughout the continent, an absolute re-
quisite of the fashionable toilet; and its rep
utation rs o cosmetic is equal to its celebrity
AS perfume. When tempered with water,
it alays the irritations Of the skin caused by
heat or the bites Of insects, and removes
freckles, blotches, tan and sunburns, with
surprising rapidity. Its cooling effect upon
'he fevered skin in oppressive weather is de-
lightful, and it retains its delicate and re-
freshing odor for u longer period than any
other scented water, not excepting the Marie
Farina Cologne. Gentlemen use it after
shaving to remove the smarting caused by
That OptIauOn, anu ladies unQ IL extremely
useful in relieving headache and faintness,
when held to the nostrils or applied to the
forehead. As q fumigant for the sick room,
it is highly recommended by physicians, its
disinfeeting properties being very remarka-
BILE.
1t is now some twelve or fourteen years,
we believe. since the article was introduced
in the South American market, for which,
OF the outset. it was exclusively intended.
Now, however, there is an extensive demand
for it in Central America. Mexico and the
West Indies, and the shipments by the pro-
prietors, Lanman e. Co., 90 Water Street,
New York, to those countries are becoming
larger every year. As matter of course.
its popularity has led to many limitations,
and worthless scent misnamed "Florida
Water" manufactured of cinnamon and
coarse essential oils, is sometimes to be found
in our drug stores. II il therefore necessary
to ask for Murray d. Lanman's Florida
Water" and to see that the true name is on
the label. The price is lower than that OF
the beat German cologne. and the perfume Is
universally admitted to be equally fine and
much more lasting.

A FATAL ACCIDENTAL man who had
been cunning near st. Louis, on Saturday
last, ON returning, climbed over fence; and
then attempted to draw his gun through the
rails. The trigger became cooked, and snap
ped in the process, and the right barrel went
off, the charge entering his left cheek, blow
ing his face and brains to fragments and
fracturing his skull. He rolled over and
died instantly.

Day GOODs IN NV YoRK.-rhe followin,

Day GooDs IN NEW YoRK.-The following
are the remarks of the independent upon the
state of the dry goods trade.
This trade shows no improvement. On
the contrary. collections have altogether
ceased from the West, and are growing worse
from tho South. Some of the Wholesale
houses are offering their stocks at auction IN
their own stores. and others arc trying to
move them by putting down prices and sell
ing in retail.
There is no demand to buy for cash what
cannot be resold for cash. The failures have
been numerous, and the trade OF the season
is wholly Frustrated. The regular auction
sales have ceased. The little that is doing is
for cash. The retail trade experiences none
of that activity usual on the setting in of the
fall season. An unusual economy prevails
in the community, rendered unavoidable
from the want of money. Money may be
abundant, but it does not circulate. 1t
stragnates, and as such is useless.
