~YGeneration after generation" says a
fine writer, "haye felt as we now feel, and
their lives were as active as our own. They
passed ike a vapor, while nature wore the
same aspect1of beauty as when the Creator
commanded her to be. The heavens shall be
IS bright over our graves as they now are
around our paths. The world will have the
same attractions for our offspring yet unborn,
that she had once for our children. Yet a lit
tie while, and all will have happened. The
~throbbing heart will be stifed and we shall be
at rest. Our funeral shall wind its way, and
prayers Will be said, and then we shall be left
alone in silence, and darkness for the worms.
And it may be for a short time we shall be
spoken Of, but the things of life, will creep in,
and our names viii soon be forgotten. Days
will continue to move on, and laughter and
song will be heard in the room in which we
died and the eye that mourned for. us will be
dried, and ghsten again with joy; and even
our children will cease to think of us, and will
not remember to, lisp our names"

THE DEBT AND EXPENSE OF AUSTRIA
As Austria was preparing for war on gigantic
scale, some of our readers may be interested in
knowing the load which rests upon her excheq-

at is more than twelve years since her ex-
penditures have been covered by revenue
Twelve years ago her annual expenditures were
not quite STA 100000. They are now equiv
alent 90 $4,000, 900. Each intervening year
the deficit has been counted by millions. The
fact is shown in comparative amounts of public
debt, which in 1847 was less than $3.50, 0O0,-
900, and is now equivalent to 81 ,14O, 000, 900.
The interest on this debt, payable yearly, is no
less than ~ffty-tWo millions. The statement,
gathered from official representations, may re-
lieve any lingering surprise at the late failure
to borrow in England the inconsiderable sum
of thirty millions"

Ayers Ague Cure.

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the blood,
and stimulates the liver to expel it from the body. As
it should, so it does cure this affecting disorder with
perfect certainty. And it does more, or rather does
what is of more service to those subject to this infection.
If taken in season it expels it from the system as it is
absorbed, and thus keeps those who use it free from its
attacks; keeps tine system in health although exposed
to the disease. Consequently it not only cures, bur
protects from, the great variety of 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, Neu-
ralgia, Rheumatism, Gout. Blindness. Toothache, Ear
ache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitations, Painful Affections
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 "AeUE
CURE" removes the cause of these arrangements, and
cures the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the excretories
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 acchnaatataon.
Time may accomplish the same end, but often life is not
long enough, or is sacrificed in the attempt, while this
"AaUB CURE " does it at once, and with safety. We
have great reason to believe this is a surer as well as
safer remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other which
has been discovered; and il has still another important
advantage to the public, which is. that it is cheap as
well as good.
