Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over large part Of
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm of
vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
the action of solar heat wet soil, and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earths sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison on the internal viscera and excretng organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fans to
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile rom
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumuiate
in the circulation, and produce violent consutu-
tional disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally, the instinct of our or
ganism, as if in an attempt to expel the noxious
infusion, concentrates the whole blood of the body
in the internal excretores to force them to cast it
out The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to
the central organs with congestive violence. This
is the CHILL. But in this effort it falls Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the CEN
trail organs and rushes to the surface, as if in
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory-the skin. In this
also it fails and the system abandons the attempt
exhausted, and waits for the recovery OF strength
to repeat the hopeless effort another day. These
are the fits or paroxysms of FEVER AND AGuE.
Such constitutional disorder will of course under
mine the health if it is not removed.
We have labored to find, and have found, an
antidote

One of the London Magazines has
the following sensible observations upon
the economy of matrimony:
In return for whatever you may have
done for your wife, from what compli-
Gated slavery does not she deliver you?
Onlymake the enumeration. From the
slavery of baseness: you have hap
piness beside your hearth, you will not
go in the evening to court love under
the smokey lamps of a dancing room,
and to find drunkenness in the street.
From the slavery of weakness: You
will not drag your limbs along, like
your sad acquaintance, that pale, worn
out, sbloated, young-old man. From
the, slavery of melancholy. He who
is strong and does a mans work-he
who goes out to labor and leaves at
home cherished soul who loves him
will from that sole circumstance, have
a cheerful heart and be merry all day.
From the slavery of money: Treasure
this very exact arithmetical maxim.
1.-TWO persons spend less than one.
Many bachelors remain as they are in
alarm at the expense of married life
but who spends infinitely more. They
live very dearly at the cafe and restau-
rateur's, very dearly at the theatre.
The Havana cigar alone, smoked all
day long, is an outlay of itself But
if your wife has no female friends
whose rivalry troubles her, and excites
her to dress, she spends nothing. She
reduces all your expences to such a de-
gree that the calculation just given is
is anything but just. 9si
satshould not have been 1.-TWO people, y
but "four people spend less than one.'
When a marriage is reasonable, con-
tracted with foresight, when the family
does not increase too fast, wife, fal
from being an, obstacle to liberty Of
movement, is, on the contrary its natu
raj and essential condition. Why does
the Englishman emigrate so easily
and so beneticially for England herself:
Because his wife follows him. Excep
in devouring climates, such as India, i
may be asserted that the English
woman has sown the whole earth Will
solid English colonies. The force o
Family. has created the force and thu
greatness of the country. With :
good wife and good trade, youn2
man is free; free to leave his home, O
free to remain. 1t must be trade, ant
not an art of luxury. Have such ar
art into the bargain, if you like; blu
the first necessity is to be master o
one of the arts that are useful to all
The men who loves and wishes TO main
tain his wife, viii hardly waste his tim
in drawing the precise line between ar
and trade; line which is fictitious il
reality. Who cannot see that the ma
jority of trades, if traced to their prin
ciples, are real branches of an art
The boot makers and tailor's trade
make a close approach to sculpture
A tailor who appreciates, models, am
certifies nature, is worth three classi
sculptors.

Il ICAN HARVESTER, combined Machine, al
nough comparatively new Machine, 1t is ranked
head of any other Machine. 1t has undergone
,everal improvements since first brought into use,
md has attained perfection which makes it de-
rabe for Farmers having uneven as well as level
rounds. a
An important consideration in selecting Har-
ester, is to find one that is perfect Combined
dachine-that will work equally well as Mower
md Reaper. There are many good Sim
lie Mowers, and many good Single Reapers; but
cry few good Combined Reapers and Mowers.
here have been many signal failures in this re-
pect. sfs
Mr. Kirby, on the contrary, appears to have
,een eminently successful in combining the two;
md has this year brought his invention to state
# perfection that seems to have left no room for
urther improvement.
We close our notice of the Americas Harvester,
With short extract, explaining some of its pecu>
iarites:
1.-The marked popularity of this machine is its
.daptability to uneven surface. The finger bar
nd driving wheel act independently of each other,
ach following its own ground The popularity of
he machine enables it to work on very rough
and and adapts it to all kinds of work, whether
moving, reaping or gathering grass and eso-er
:eed; and every variety of soil, whether sand,
lay or wet marsh = whether soft hard, rough
smooth, stony billy. The finger bar can be
;et to work at hight, from two to eighfeen
inches, and the change can be rnade in an instant
also, by a very simple arrangement the driver
AN, with finger, lift the bar over any obstruc
ion. The drivers seat is made TO act as lever,
~ means of which the weight of the driver conn
erbafances the weight of the frame and throws the
'hole upon the driving wbeel-thus adding TO the
bower of the Wheel materially tightening the
lraft obviating the side draft, and relieving the
lorses from the pressure and weight of the pole
and forward part of the frame.

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood and stimulates the liver to expe it from the
body. As it should SO it does cure this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty And it does more,
rather does what is of more service to those sub
ect to this infection. If taken in season it expels
itfromth system it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,
the great variety pf affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such as Remittent
Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Fevers, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Blindness,
Too,hache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tonS, Painful Infections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found TO assume more or
less the intermittent type. This "AGUE CURE !"
removes the of these arrangements, and cures
the disease.
This it accomplshes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs BY degrees become hahited to do this
their Office Of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term acckE,atdtio7. Time may accomplish the
same end but often life is not long enough, or il
sacrificed in the attempt. while this . AGuE CURE
does il at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is surcr as well as safer
remedy ror the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the 1nasmatic infection. than any other
which, has been discoyered and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which IS, thu.
it is cheap as well as good.

The Expenditures OF the Govern
meMt.

The amount of expenditures OF the gov.
ernment within the fiscal year, ending on
the 30th ult., we're in round numbers $685..
100000, while the appropriations of that
year were $3.50, 900. But, as in practice,
a portion OF what is appropriated for fiscal
year is not expended until after its expira.
tion, the only way of determining what are
real expenditures is by taking the yearly ap.
preparations by Congress. These are oil
spent first or last, be they great or small.
AS before stated, the appropriations for
the last fiscal year were $S3 900 900, while
the receipts have been considerably less
than $60COO,000. Those from customs for
the last three quarters of the year have been
$37,0oO,0 900, or just about the figure eslima.
ted by Gov. Cobb. That he was not quite
us exact in his estimates during the panic OF
1857 is not strange, since that he was fresh
in the position OF Secretary of the Treasury,
and OF course could not foresee all the dis
usters to trade cipitated by general ex.
plosion OF paper money institutions.
! AS the receipts from customs for the last
i fiscal year are $50,5oO,eO0, 1t is reasonable
to suppose that theya will be for the fiscal
yeer now entered upon at least S55, 900 900.

AS it has been generally stated through
reports hence, that salaries of postmasters
throughout the country, and of their clerks,
with other expenses, would be betrayed from
accruing postages after S0th June, ult., it is
proper to say that no such view is counten.
anced at the Department. On the contrary
it is held that not q dollar can be legally ex'
pended until Congress meets and makes ap.
propriatons on post Office account. Wha
