EPILEPSY, OR FALLING FITS.


We believe we cannot do our readers a moro i'm
portant service, than by again calling their attention
to that most remarkable preparation, discovered by
DR.. Seth s. Hance, of Baltimore, Nd. which posses
SEES the power of alleviating and curing that horrid
visitation of man-Epiepsy, or Falling Fits. in re-
commenting this preparation to our readers, we do
so with a conviction that We are not degrading our
columns to puff a common patent medicine, but are
placing before them a discovery, which, If fully
known, would probably dO more TO alleviate human
suffering, than any invention of modern times. DR..
Hancc, in asking us to notice his preparation favor
ably in our editorial department, has sent us for peru
sal a number of letters from persons who have used
his Pills, and have been cured thereby. All of them
speak in the most grateful and %eulogistic TERMS
One great advantage this medicine possesses is the
fact, that it can be transported through the mails
thereby ~affording every one an opportunity of deal
ing directly with the inventor, and also precluding
ali possibility of being imposed on by a counterfeit
or spurious imitation. DR.. Hance pays the postage
on his Pills to any part of the country, and will for
ward them by return of mail, on the receipt of a re-
mittance. His prices are as follows One box. Sd;
two do, So; twelve do, So. All orders for the
should be addressed to SETH S. HANCE, Jos

THE AMERICAN MONTHLY for April, il
upon our table. We have not had time to ex
anime its contents, but quote from the Boston
Gazette the following notice of this Magazine
which appears to be rapidly increasing in pop
~ularity:
ANOTHER AMERICAN TRIUMPH-We have
had frequent occasion recently to speak of the
success of the Atlantic Monthly. We have
been prompted to do this from an honest pride
at the accomplishment, not only of our own,
but, we believe, of a national desire, to see ou1
periodical literature indicated from the charge
our English brethren have so often brought
against it, that it cannot ascend above the level
of love-sick stories and sentimental poetry, be
cause our reading public can appreciate moth
ing better. Many an attempt has been made
to establish something similar to the heightened
periodicals of England, and as often as each
attempt has failed, the voice of exultation from
the English press has been loud; and the cry
Rlised that we can't do it.-Well do we remem-
Der this when Putnam's Monthly was compelled
to give way, in which we thought we had
found a refutation of the established English
opinion in regard to us. Butwe can now safe
" boast of a triumph, as the Atlantic Monthly
has attained a circulation of 10000, nearly
double that ever reached by P~utnam's, and is
placed upon a sure basis, its publishers being
among the most enterprising in our country,
and have been actuated to a considerable de-
gree, in the establishment of the Atlantic, by
this same mortifying fact we refer to, that our
American literature had no true exponent
The many expressions of favor and well-wishes
received the past year from their subscribers,
prove that they too have given their support to
the Atlantic from a determination that our
country, in spite of British misgivings, shall
have a periodical of its own, not only equal,
but even superior, to any of those published in
And noW the English press have
admitted that we have such a period
ical, for the. London Critic and Athcn9um
have been lavish of their praise the past few
months. The "Autocrat" has been %republish-
ed monthly in London, as it appeared in the
Atlantic, calling forth golden opinions and tie
confession that their own periodicals have con-
moth ng so brilliant since the "Noctes
Ambrosiane."
At the present time two different houses in
London monthly re-publish the "Miuister's
Wooing," by Mrs. H. B. Stowe, and its circu-
alton there almost exceeds the same here
We have heard it stated that the editors have
eeeived and approved, up to the present time,
efficient material from American authors to
several numbers fully equal to any that
ave yet appeared. The April number is look
d for as one of the very best yet Issued. We
epeat again, that in chronicling the success
f the Atlantic, we are expressing a national
ceiling of something more than pleasure, that
re have at last accomplished our desires, and
hat our literature has such an ornament as the
atlantic Monthly.

simple OF the following Real Estate, to-wit the South
West quarter of section ~thirty-six 1861 township

the sentiment embodied in the above. Besides
its glaring untruth, the tendency of such
false teaching is to demoralize youth, and to
accustom them to regard this world as much
worse than it really is. Men of the deprave

exist, and they sometimes win a "prize in the
worlds great race" but it is not a prize which
brings to the winner substantial happiness or
honor, The man who is SO constituted as to
regard the accumulation of money as the source

can attain the object of his ambition by follow
