good Cause for setting both aside On that ground,
By reason Of the intimate relation Of attorney

Fever and Ague.

from which mankind suffer over a large part Of
the globe, is the consequence of n diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm
of vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved
by the action of solar heat on wet soil, and rises
with the watery vapor from it. While the sun is
below the horizon this vapor fingers near the
earth's surface, 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 excreting organs of the body. The liver be-
comes torpid and fails to secretc not only this
virus, but also the bile from the blood. Both
the virus and the bile accumulate in the circula-
ton, and produce violent constitutional disorder.
The spleen, the kidneys, and the stomach SYM
pathize with the liver, and become disordered
also. Finally, the instinct of our organism, rs
if in an attempt TO cXpel the noxious infusion,
concentrates the whole blood of the body in the
internal excretories 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 fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the
central organs and rushes to the surface, as if
in another effort to expel the irritating poison
through the other great e~xcretory = the skin. In
this also it fails, and the system abandons the at
tempt 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 undermine the health if it is not removed.
We have labored to find, and have found, an

THE NEW MAGAZINE,
ATLANTIC MONTHLY
DEVOTED TO
Literature, Art and Politics.

THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILL BE
LIRST In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that, while each mum
Der will contain articles of an 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 go uncared for. The publishers
wish to say, also, that while native writers will
receive the most solid urageme and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the AT
LANTlc, 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
It's various branches, without any regard to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ of no party or clique, but will honestly en-
deayOr to be the exponent Of what its conduc-
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 a true
and lasting national prosperity. 1t will not
rank itself with any set of antics, but with that
boo y of m which is in favor of Freedom, Ma
tional Progress, and Honor, whether public or
private.

sellers, Periodical Agents, or of the Publishers,

A Boy FRIGHTENED TO DEATu.-A
death of a most extraordinary character
took place at Ottawa, Canada, on the I'd
inst, the particulars of which are these {:
Some men were about to slaughter All OK,
and had attached one end Of a rope to
the horns and passed the other through
the door into the slaughter-house, and
were driving the animal in. The boy,
Simon O'Donnel, held a candle in one
corner of the shed to throw light on the
proceedings. When the beast was driv-
en- in it appears that it made a sudden
movement toward the corner where the
boy was. and was instantly seized by the
nose by one of the butchers dogs, when
it roared out loudly and the boy dropped
to the ground in an instant, perfectly
dead. The Coroner's Jury returned a
verdict to the effect that the death of the
boy was occasioned by fright"

Perhaps it is not generally known that
Black Walnut sap makes a syrup fully
equal to that from hard maple. But we
are assured that such is the fact, by Mr..
W. Holden, of Langworthy, Jones coun-
ty. TO whom we are indebted for a bottle
of the syrup.
Prompted by curiosity, Mr. Holden last
spring, when tapping his sugar bush, in
which some black walnuts were intermin-
gled, tapped one of the latter. and finding
that the sap flowed freely, and was sweet,
tapped a few more and made some syrup.
The result astonished him. Though be,
In common with every observing farmer,
was previously aware hat the black wal
nut tree contained a large amount of sap,
it was not generally known that the sap
contained those saccharine properties
necessary to form a syrup fitted for do
mestic purposes. But the experiment
of Mr.. Holden proves that another source
of sweetness is added to our Northern
list.
We have, then, at least four important
uses to which the black walnut could be
applied. The nuts are good eating the
body of this tree makes valuable and du-
rable lumber ; from its sap a syrup may
be made, equal if not superior to that
from the sugar maple while it is admir-
ably fitted to protect our farms and farm
houses from our stern winters ank stormy
winds. 1t grows readily and rapidly
from the nut, and we would suggest to
our farmers the propriety Of planting a
grove of black walnuts upon their prem
ises.-Northmestern Farmer.
