Ayers Cherry Pectoral,

FOR THE RAPID CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Group, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump-
tion, and for the relief Of Consumptive
Patients in advanced stages Of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and SO nu-
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
icly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that 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 the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.

.Ague Cure,

OuI0,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Asue,
Remitteut Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague. Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases orisi.
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries'
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prepention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CURE" cxpels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGuE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
a dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AeuE prevails, every body should have 1t
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of aIl-the poor as well as the rich.
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Agueis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety OF
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fection, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from InterInittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-
fords

The Stumpy Road.

Many stump In the road we go,
Many n root of old evil below,
Roots and stumps that at times require
A little "spunk" or a coal Of fire.
Roots of error, whose rugged bolcs .f.
Our fathers fashioned for Liberty poles;
Evils have sprung from The same old roots,
And our fathers sons are afraid of the shoots
There's law of stumps, they'll learn, no doubt,
That the more you go round EN-, the more they
stick out,
And law of roads. which they may iccsif
That the smoothest way is the rorst of all.
Few to help, and the day late,
Many stump, but the road is straight,
equal right and an honest tax"
Brothers, on with the spade and axe!
Up to the hclvc in the fungus growth
Born of tyranny, bred of sloth;
Down to the heat and the ancient wrong
Tangled and twisted so wide and strong.
Stumps my men of the pick and spade,
Stnmps! in the wilderness, who's afraid
Hands are ready, and hearts are stout,
Hcavc together and have it out.

The Governor and the Banks.

The most important portion of the mes
sage of Gov. Harris is that which treats
Of the banks and the currency. 1t is
manifest from it that he has no very ex-
alted opinion of banks and their manage
ment: and could he have his way would
inaugurate the era of hard money which
has been so often talked of by Demo-
cratic enthusiasts. But, as he can't have
his way--as he feels it impossible to bring
his pnrty up to the metallic standard
he desires to make as near approach to it
as he can. This is laudable, if we regard
his opinions as expressed in the mes
sage as sincere, point we do not doubt.
But, it is possible the people of the State
would have been better satisfied had he
spoken as frankly during his canvass for
reelection. Bank Democrats, who sup
ported him, may have painful apprecia-
ton of the position in which they are
placed, on finding that their Governor
intends really to restrict and restrain the
Union and Planters Banks out of ex-
istence, and does not propose an increase
Of the capital of the Bank of Tennessee,
but, on the other hand, would have that
institution expire with its charter. We
take it for granted that the stockholders
of the Union and Planters Banks will not
accept charters such as Governor Harris
would give them, and if the Legislature
coincide with him in opinion, the public
may expect to see both Baflks numbered
with the things that have been, but are
no longer. The capital employed by
these institutions can be invested else
where, and quite as proftably, free from
the restrictions proposed. Whether other
capitalists would be more willing to test
the operation of the new system, we are
inclined to doubt. We speak of the sys-
tenn as a whole, for some of the PROPOSE
tions are just and reasonable, and should
be adopted. We do not believe any capi-
talist would be willing to accept the sys-
TEN entire; and thus believing, we are
apprehensve that the result will be,
should the Legislature deem it expedient,
to carry out the recommendations of the
Governor, the establishment of an al
most exclusive metallic currency. The
question is one of the greatest inter-
est and Importance, and will engross
a large proportion of the time of the
Legislature. We trust it will be discuss
ed and decided, as it ought to be, with
out reference to party, but with an eye
solely to the public good.-Nash. Banner.

Sleep of Plants.

The Scientific American says: Plants
sleep as well as animals; the attitude that
some of these assume on the approach of
night is extremely Interestingly to thosewho
delight TO study the beautiful phenomena
of vegetable life. Some plants exhibit
signs of sleep more marked than others.
The leaves of clover, lucerne, and other
plants close as the sun approaches the ho-
rizon; and in the honey locusts this cha
racterstic is particularly striking and
beautiful. The delicately formed leaves
close in pairs at nightfall and remain so
until the rising of the sun in the morning,
when they gradually expand to their full
est extent. 1t is in the common garden
chickweed (Stellaria mcdica) that the most
perfect exemplifcation of the conjugal
love and parental care Of plants is observ-
ed. At the approach of night the leaves
of this delicate plant, which are in pairs,
begin to close towards each other, and
when the sleeping attitude is completed
these folded leaves embrace in their upper
surfaces the rudiments of the young
shoots: and the uppermost pair (but one)
at the end of the stalk are furnished with
longer leaved stalks than others, so that
they can close upon the terminating pair
and protect the end of the shoot.

1t will be recollected that the common
reading represents Jobs wife as saying,

the change. AT any rate, if they can Of

Proportions of the Human Figure.

The proportions of the human figure
are strictly mathematical. The whole
figure is six times the length of the foot.
Whether the form be slender or plump,
this rule holds good. Any deviation from
it is departure from the highest beauty
of proportion. The Greeks made all
their statues according to this rule. The
face, from the highest point of the fore
head, where the hair begins, to the end
of the chin is one-tenth of the whole
stature. The hand, from the wrist to the
end of the middle finger, is the same
The chest is fourth, and from the nip
pies to the head is the same. From the
top of the chest to the highest point of
the top of the forehead, is seventh. II
the length of the face, from the roots OF
the hair to the chin, be divided into three
equal parts, the first division determines
the point where the eyebrows meet, and
the second the place of the nostrils.--
The navel is the central point of the hui
man body, and if a man should lie on
his back with his arms extended, the
periphery of the circle which might be
described around him, with the navel for
its centre, would touch the extremities
of his hands and feet. The Insight from
the feet to the top of the head is the dis
tance from the extremity of the other
when the arms are extended. These
are general measures of the species.

THE USE OF QrAus. s.-Wm. Norton, an
intelligent, observing farmer boy, who
makes his home in the southern part of
Illinois, has recently been studying the
habits of the quail, or, incorrectly ''pat-
ridge" and gives the following testimony
to the Cincinnati Artisan:
ale observed small flock commencing
at one side of the field, taking about five
rows, following them regularly through
the field, scratching and picking about
every hill, till they came to the other side
of the field; then taking another five
rows on their return. thus continuing,
till he thought they we're certainly pull
ling up the corn. He shot one, and then
proceeded to examine the corn ground
On all the ground that they had been
over, he found but one stalk OF corn dis
turbed; that was scratched nearly out of
the ground but the kernel was still at
tached to the stalk. In the craw Of the
quail he found but one cut worm, 2f
striped vine bugs, 100 chintz bugs, that
still retained their individuality, mass
apparently consisting of hundreds of
chintz bugs, but not one kernel OF corn.
