Mr.. NJ. 4. RASsoN-Dcar Sir: The Grover &
Baker Sewing Machine which purchased of you
last winter, has given entire snti.(aciiom. Ihave
seen many favorable notices published about these
Machines, and from our experience we believe
them all without exageration. Doubtless, when
more generally known, they will be in general use,
and accomplish what Hon. Mr.. Banks says, "work
as great change in families, us railways have in
communities and States
Respectfully, yours,

REV. r. F. WILLIAMS, of this District, writes thus
Mr.. NJ. A. RAXsoM--Dcnr Sir I am pleased to
say that the Grover & Baker Machine bought of
you, works us well rs I could desire. My wife
finds no trouble in working it. Before purchasing
l examined other Machines, but did not like the
stitch near az nell rs that made by the Grover j.
Baker. With my knowledge Of these Machines,
and what hear from others, am thoroughly
convinced that no Machine can farorably compare
with them for family use.

Fever and Ague.

from which mankind suffer over a large part of
the globe, is the consequence of a 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 yapor fingers near the
earth's surface, and the virus is taken with it
through the lungs into the blood. There it acts
rs an irritating poison on the internal viscera
and cxcreting organs of the body. The liver be-
comes torpid and fails TO secrete 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
patlizc with the liver, and become disordcred
also. Finally, the instinct of our organism, as
If in an attempt to eXpel 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 il 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 excretory- the skin. In
this also it fails, and the system abandons the at
tempt exhausted, and waits for the recovery of
strengthto repeat the hopeless effort mother 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
antidote.

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

-
THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILL BE
LIRST In Literature, to leave no province
l. 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 encouragement, and will
be mainly relied ON 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 inten ded 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 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-
deavor 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
boCy Of men which is in favor of Freedom, Ma
tional Progress, and Honor, whether public or
private.
TERMS: Three Dollars a year, or Twentv-fye
Cents a number, and may be obtained of Book
sellers, Periodical Agents, or of the Publishers,

A Democratic Touch Hole.

Sam Galloway, at a Republican meet
at Cincinnati, was showing that Pugh
had once raised the banner of Free Kan
sas, that Cass had been in favor of the
Wilmot Proviso, that Groesbeck had
opposed slavery extension, but that they
now all went in for the Lecompton Con-
stitution and Slavery, but they were the
same Democrats. Galloway said /:
They reminded him Of the fellows

habit of attending militia trainings with
what he called his Revolutionary gun

the Revolution had been fought, bled and
died fifty years ago. One day a friend

that Revolutionary 2" mo, he couldn't

barrel is new too; it can't be Revolu-

won't say the barrel is Revolutionary,
nuther, but I'll tell you what it is-the
touch-hole's Revolutionary, anyhow.'-
That was precisely the position of the
Democratic party. They'd all swear they
advocate the Revolutionary doctrine, but
not one of them dare say their principles
were those Jefferson promulgated. For
my part said Mr.. g., Pm not prepared
TO swear that ever the Democratic touch
