the virus and the bile accumulate in the circula-

The spleen, the kidneys, and the stomach SYM

"Just Naturally Spiiin' for Fight.''
The following from the Cairo Gazette
will be understood and appreciated by
any one who has ever spent an hour in
the place

ticated" individual in front of Springfield

man that ever wore bar ; I'm the big dog
Of the tan yard-the grey wolf of the

to tackle me ? I'm the post oak runner

Notwithstanding this polite and I'M
common request, urged with so much
pathos and sincerity, the gentleman made
no impression on the minds of our citi
zens, and found no one willing TO make
the required assertion. Next morning We
saw the youth sitting on a pile of lum-
Der by the river, half his teeth knocked
out Of his head, his nose fattened, his
eyes all bunged up. and his coat all torn
into shreds. Upon kindly inquiring af-

THE LOST SnEEP.-A preacher of the
Methodist church was travelling in one
Of the back settlements, and stopped at a
cabin where an old lady received him
very kindly. After setting provisions
before him. she began to question him:
Stranger, where mought you be
from %
Madam, I reside in Shelby county,
Kentucky"
"Well. stranger, hope no onense, but
what mought you be dom way up here 20
Madam, I am searching for the lost
sheep of the house of Israel"
John John - shouted the old lady,
"come right here this mint here's
stranger all the way from Shelby county,
Kentucky, a hunting stock, and I'll just
bet my life that tangle- haired old ram
that's been in our lot the last week, is
one o. Aisn.'

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this maarious poison in tho
blood and stimulates the liver to expel 1t from
the body. As it should so it docs cure this Of
dictiye disorder with perfect certainty. And 1t
does more, or rather does what is of more ser
vice to those subject to this infection. If taken
in season it expels it from the system rs it is abb
sorbed, and thus keeps those who use II free from
its attacks keeps the system in health although
exposed to the disease. Consequently 1t not only
cures but protects from, the great variety of af-
fcctions 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, Toothache, Ear
ache, Catarh, Asthma, Palpitations, Painful At
fectons Of the Spleen Mysteries, Collie, Paralysis,
and Painful Affections of the Stomach and Bow
els, all of which, when arising from this cause,
will be found to assume more or less the intermit-
tent type. This "AGUE CURE" removes the cause
of these arrangements, and cures the disease.
This il accomplishcs by stimulating the excrc-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
their Office of their own accord. Hence arises
what we term dcchmdtion. Time may accomplish
the same end but often life is not long enough, or
is sacrificed in the attempt, while this AGUB
CURE" docs il at once, and with safety. We havc
great reason to believe this is o surer as well as
safer remedy for the whole class of diseases
which are caused by the miasmatc infection,
than any other which has been discovered; and
it has still another important advantage to tho
public, which is, that it is cheap as well - good

THE NEW MAGAZINE,
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY
DEVOTED TO
Literature, Art and Politics.
THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILL BE

THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILL BE
LIRST: In Literature, to leave no province
Il nrerresented, so that, while each num-
Der will contain articles of III abstract and per-
manent value it will also be found that the
healthy appetite of the mind for entertainment
in its various forms of Narrative, Wit and HUI
NOR, will not 90 uncared for. The publishers
wish to say, Also that while native writers will
receive the most solid encouragement, and will
be mainly relied en- to fill the pages of the AT
LANTIc, they will not hesitate to draw from the
foreign sources at their command, as occasion
may require, relying rather on the competency
of an author to treat a particular subject, than
on any other claim whatever. In this way they
hope to make their periodical welcome WHEREBY
er the English language is spoken or read.
SECOND: In the term ART, it is intended to
include the whole domain of aesthetics, and they
hope gradually to make this critical department
a true and fearless representative Of Art, in all
its various branches, without any regard to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or t.
private considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ of party or clique, but will honestly en-
deavor to be the exponent of what its eonduc-
tors believe to be the American Idea. 1t will
deal frankly with persons and with parties, en-
deavoring always to keep in view that moral
element which transcends all persons and par
ties, and which alone makes the basis of q true
and lasting national prosperity. 1t will not
rank itself with any set of antics, but with that
boo of men which is in favor of Freedom, Ma
tional Progress and Honor, whether public OF
private.
