ABOLITION CuAmTY.-- The provcrb says that
charity begins at home. AboltiOnsm reverseS IT,.
Ono OF the murderers who met a deserved death at
IIarper's Ferry was Henry Lehman, On his person
was found letter from his sister disclosing a STATE
of affairs in his farther household compared with
which the condition of the lowest negro is enviabe.
She tells him that during the whole winter she has
not made, AMI therefore has not had unless II was
given, so much ms fifty cents. She speaks OF II
member OF the family who has what she calls a
pcry goo place n which She earns 10 cents week
Another letter from his aged and nAad mother tells
him that if she had money TO buy medicine she
could get WELL but that she 'coudn trd'se dollar tc
sape her lts,
Having these real troubles, Henry Lehman comes
to Virginia to alleviate the imaginary sutf'rings ol
a race ireer from suffering than any other i'm the
world. And this he would do against their wishc'
aud at the cXpen'c of crimes most horrible anC
bloodshei almost endless. II il were possible, thu

Ague Cure.

ron THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers; indeed
for the whole Glass Of Diseases or;gi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by tho ne
cessitics of the American people than q sure and
safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such remedy
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect ccr-
tainty that it will eradicate tho discnse, and with
assurance, founded on proof that no harm. can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this dis
order must be Of immense service in the commu-
mites where it prevails. Prevention is better
than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which
he must run in violent attacks Of this balcilll
distempcr. This "CURE" expcls the mias-
matte poison of FEVER AND AGuE from the
system, and prevents the development of the
disease, if taken tho first approach of its pre-
monitory symptoms. 1t is not only tho best
remedy ever yet discovered for this class Of COM
plants, but also the cheapest. The large guam
tity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and i'll bilious districts,
where FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body
should have it, and Use it freely, both for cus
and protection. 1t is hoped this price will place
it within the reach of all the poor as well as the
rich. A gront superiority Of this remedy over
any other ever discovered for the speedy aud
certain cure Of Intcrmittcnts is, that it contains
no Quinnc or mineral, consequently it produces
no qunism or other Injurious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured by it are
left as healthy as if they had never had the dis
case
Fever and Aguo is not alonc the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety of dis
orders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, 1oothacho, Earachc, Cntarrh, Asthma,
Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis,
and Derangcment Of the Stomach, all of which,
when originating in this cause, put on the inter
mittent type, or become periodical. This CURE"
cxpcls the poison from tho blood, and conse-
'qucntly cures them all alike 1t is an invalua-
Bile protection to immigrants, and persons truv-
Cling or temporarily residing in the malarous
districts. If taken occasionally, or daily, while
exposed 10 the infection, that will be excrcted
from the system, and cannot accumulate in suf-
ficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it
is even more valuable for protection than cure,
and few will cver suffer from Intcrmittcnts if
they avail themselves of the protection this REM
cdy affords.

Patients in advanced stages Of the
Disease.
So wide Is the field of its usefulness, and SO
numerous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons
publicly known, who have been restored from
alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use When once tried, its superior
ity over every other medicine Of its kind Is too
apparent to escape observation, and where its
virtues arc known, the public no longer hesitate
what antidote to employ for the distressing and
dangerous affections of the pulmonary organs
that arc incident to our climate. While many
inferior remedies thrust upon the community
have failed and been discarded, this has gained
friends by every trial, conferred benefits on tho
afflicted they can never forget, and produced
cures too numerous and too remarkable TO be
forgotten.

nine, they almost invariably make
speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above NEIL
toned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad-
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,

A SLIGHT MIsUNDERsTANDING.-A young gen
tleman of one of our large dry goods establish
ments, says Syracuse paper, received one day
last week a very highly-scented bHlct-dlr from
his lady love. The young man was much pleased
with his balmy little note, and the flavor of the
perfume gratifed him so much that he gave all
the clerks in the store smell. One clerk pro-
nounced it "Pachoula,' another Jockey Club, y
others !" Kiss me Quick, and one old head said
it smelt to him like the q Balm of thousand
flowers" About this time the proprietor was
seen coming in, and the little gilt edged note,
with embossed envelope, was hurriedly locked
up in his trunk, to waste its perfume amoug old
pants, shirts and stockings. A day or two af-
ter, the heroine of the scented note was out
shopping, and she called on the Knight of the
Yard Stick. She, of course, was received with
bows and smiles innumerable by the aforesaid
tape-dealer He thanked her for that bewitch-
ing little note that he had received from her.
and further stated that it was the "sweetest
smelling; that he had ever received. /" La me- y
she said sif you call that sweet, I'd like to have
you smell of my drawers" The young man
blushed and looked confused she was pale and
agitated, and with a most indeScribable express
sion of countenance, said, "John meant my
bureau drawers"

ZANZIBAR, May 9, 1858.
Day before yesterday heard from Captain
Burton and Mr.. Spiek. They have reached the
great African inland lake, and are now occupied
in making explorations and researches on its
shores They are in excellent health and spirits,
and contemplate returning to Zanzibar in the
month of September. According to the infor-
nation have gathered concerning the coun-
tries south of Abyssinia, the source of the Sou
bat is a large lake lying south of Abyssinia In
the vicinity of this lake are to be found several
white tribes, viz the Amara, the Conso, the
Amarakoke, and the Rendike. The two first
named stand upon level with the Abyssinans
in respect to civilization. They all seem to be

AND OLD RELfGIoN-The Zend Avesta the
Bible of the Parsees, is said to contain intrinsic
evidence ofits being composed more than $500
years ago. The Parsees adore one God only
eternal and almighty they reverence the heav-
enly bodies and fire, as visible images of the in
visible Deity, but emphatically repudiate then
worship. They acknowledge in Ormuzd the
Principle of all Righteousness in Ahriman the
author of all evil They believe that the most
acceptable sacrifices to God are good actions
that the best court of equity is pure consci-
ence; that truth is the basis of all excellence
They believe in the efficacy of prayer, in the doc
trine of the resurrection and Judgment, in the
existence of a heaven and hell. Their whole
religion thus affords close parallel to that Of
the Christians.

PEACH TREEs.-Notwithstand the thought
lessness of those who look upon the idea of
cutting do%npeach trees for fire wood, we still
urge the matter as one of moment, and worthy
of careful consideration. Peach trees can be
purchased low, in dormant bud and a hundred
or thousand acres could be planted at small
comparative cost. In two years they will pro-
duce large crop at two cents a pound they
can be made profitable, and by drying, slcing
and put up in boxes, compete with Chile in the
dried fruit business. Why should we import
hundreds of tons of dried peaches, when we can
raise them better and cheaper than any other
part of the world? After the second year, as
food for swine turned loose into orchard, they
would yield double profit. Why should We
import common pork, when we can raise the
sweet and delicious pork fed on luscious peach
es +? And then, after FIVE, six eight years of
liberal profit in this way, another profit will be
derived from "peach tree fire wood."-Califor-
MIA Farmer
