Ayers Ague Cure.

FoR THE SPEEDY CURE OF INTERMITTENT FEVER
oR FEVER ASD AGUE, REMMITTENT FEVER, CHILL
FEVER, DUNE AGUE, Periodical HEADACHE,
or BILLIoUs HEADACHE, AND Bilious FEvERs,
INDEED FoR THE WHOLE CLASS OF DISEASES
0RIGANATlNG IN BILLiARY pERANGENENT, CAUSED
ny THE MALARIA on MGASMATiC COUNTRIES.
No ore remedy is louder called for by the neces-
sites of the American people than sure and safe
! cure ior Fever and Ague. such a remedy 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 quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this disor-
der must be of immense service in the communi-
ties where it prevails. Prevention is better than
for the patient escapes the risk which he
run in violent attacks of this halefu distemper-
This Cure" expels the niasntatic poison of Fever
and Ague froui the system and prevents the devel-
opnent of the disease, if taken the first ap-
4 proach Of its premOnitory symptoms. 1t is not
/ only the best remedy ever yet discovered for this
I class of complaints, but also the cheapest. The
large quantity supply fora dollar brings it with
in the reach of everybody and in bilious districts
where Fever and Ague prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
tiOu. IL is hoped that this price will place il with
in the reach of all-the poor well the rich. A
/ great superiority of this remedy any other
discovered for the speedy and certain cure of Inter
mittents is, that it contains no Quinine miner
/ AL Consequently it produces no quinism or other
in furious effects whatever upon the constitution.
Those cured bv it left healthy if they had
never had the disease
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
/ the miasmdtic poison great variety of disOr
y derS arise from its irritation, among which are
/ Neuralgia, Rheumatism, GOut, Headache, Blind
Less, Toothache Earache, Catarrli, Asthma, Palpi
tation Painful Affection of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Paralysis and Derlnge-
mept of the stomach, all of which, when originat
ing in this cause put the Intermittent type,
\ become periodical The " Cure expels the poison
/ from the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is AN invaluable protection 10 immi-
grants and persons travelling temporarily resid.
ing in the maiarou5 districts. If taken occasion
ally daily while exposed to the ntecton that will
4 be excreted from the system, and canno: accumu-
late in sufficient quantity to rpen into disease.
Hence ii is even more valuable for protection than
cure, aud few will suffer from Intermittents,
il they avail themselves of the protection this
I cdy affords.

The matchless brain and heart of the man
are only fully aroused when he has to hold
in hand an empire aud-like Morphy play

have implicit confidence in him.
General Scott, it may not be so we'll
known, is an elegant scholar. His tastes are
decidedly literary. He reads the works OF
the great masters of thought and style, with
the keenest relish. He is even a purist in

shipped there when dead.

Bsagr~ The discontinuance of the Kingston
Chroaicte, published at Kingston, Ulster
county, reminds me of an odd sort OF chris
teuing that took place in that very Dutch
part of the State short time since. An in
dividual, whose felicity it was to enjoy the
political and literary news presented weekly
to the burghers of Ulster, in the Ulster Re
publican, was presented by his wife with
another bouncing boy-no great wondermeni
as already they acknowledged to the parent
age ofseven little rasc2ls ofthe same gender
But What to call this new joker? They had
Il 1" John. "Jo, ." Bob, and Bill,
and " George Washington, of course
"Jakc wouldn't do, and all hands were
against " Tom, so, by way ofhaving some
thing entirely original in the family, they
dubbed the young sucker Ulster RePuJ6c-
an, and by that name he is called even unto
this day.

AN INCIDENT REyIvED.-A crnel threat
OF the Chicago journal, that if Mr.. Con-
gressman Logan does not behave himself
better, Henry W. Blodgett, Of Waukegan,
will be sent to Washington to regulate the
member from the TX, recalls nm incident
which occurred in our Legislature some
years ago.
A bill to repeal the Black Laws was
pending Blodgett had made speech in
favor OF the bill, to which Logan made re-
plv. Logan was then an unmarried man
and much Of a gallant at tile Capital. lie
has n very dark skin for a white man. The
galleries were crow ded with ladies. Logan
rose, advanced from his seat to n position
commanding view of the galleries, and
pompously began his speech about thus
% Before proceeding to consider this bill
upon lhe merits, | wish to ask the honorable
member from Lake few questions and in
the first place ask if he is i'll favor OF the
mixture Of the two races by marriage
Mr. Blodgett (appearing half asleep),
" Does the honorable member desire me to
answer?
Mr.. Logan (vociferously), /" do not
ONLY desire, but demand an explicit an
swer.'
Mr.. Blodgett (awakc but quietly), "As TO
the matter of intermarriage OF the two
races, am rather favorable TO leaving that
pretty much to the parties themselves: as it
is, in my view, mostly matter of taste. If
the honorable member should be able to
secure the affections of any respectable
white girl, should be sorry if we had
any statute to prevent him from marrying
her.
The House, lobbies, and galleries roared
and ioared again, with burst after burst Of
laughter. Poor Logan put no more ques-
tions to Blodgett, and his speech soon
ended in a miserable failure Wduhegan

WHAT CONSTITUTES AN AMPUTATIoN.-
The Cheltenham (England) Board of Guar
dams are Mt loggerheads with Mr.. Walters
one of their medical officers. He charged
the amputation fee y for cutting off por
ton of n mans thumb, and the Board con-
tend that this is not an amputation." 1t
was determined that the clerk should write
to the Poor Law Board to ask whether
the amputation of the first phalanx of the
thumb was such an amputation as was con-
templated by the Act of Parliament, the
Board considering the same 10 he only a re-
moval of portion of the thumb.''-E1
The man owning the thumb could have
readily answered the question. He would
have told them that it hurt badly enough
to be considered an amputation.

LoyERs.-There is not in all nature, any
thing so utterly ridiculous as man SO much
in love as not to be able to conceal it from
the rest of the company. Not only is he
ridiculous, but, in time, he gets to he a reg
ular nuisance, and is as impertinent and
tiresome as he was at first laughable. He is
always either extremely happy or wonder
fully wretched, without any apparent cause.
This class of lovers who would give their
fortune for a curl of their sweethearts hair,
or a piece of her shoe-string, generally make
the worst husbands ia the world
