Scrofula. or Kings Evil.

is a constitutional disease, a corruption Of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy The scrofulous taint is vsriously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above ali, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, al
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks Of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous /;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

The story of a French girl.

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Traveller writes:
"a short time since one of the many
agents that are abroad selecting musical
talent for America, sent on to the care of
Adams & Co.'S Express, French girl, who
was engaged to teach for one year in
southern institution, at a salary of 5000 per
year. On her way to New York she saw a
German merchant Of this city, who was
smitten with her, for she was young lady
of dazzling beauty. He followed her to
New York, and made formal proposal for
her hand. The gentleman was we'll known
to the head Of the house Of Adams & Co.
as gentleman of wealth and standing
But the young teacher declined the propo-
sal, at least till her contract for teaching
should expire, and the consent of her par
cuts be obtained. But the gentleman was
not to be put off, The lady had greatcon-
fidence in the integrity of the company,
and relied on what the house of Adams &
Co. said of the honor and position of the
supplicant. She relented and yielded, and
cards are now out for the wedding, at one
of our most fashionable hotels, and this
young adventurer, with nothing but her
talents and beauty, will soon be at the
head of an establishment, with husband
worth $3OO,0OO.

AUTUN1NI WOODS

ny W. @. BRYANT.
Ere in the Northern gale,
The Summer tresses Of the trees are gone,
The woods Of Autumn, all around our vale,
Have put their glory on.
The mountains that infold,
In their wide sweep, the colored landscapes round,
Seem groups Of giant Kings, in purple and gold,
That guard the enchanted ground.
Iroam the woods that crown
The upland, where the mingled spendors glow,
Where the gay company oftrees look down
On the green fields below.
My steps are not alone
In these bright walks, the sweet southwest at play,
Flies, rustling where the painted leaves shown
Along the winding way.
And far in heaven, the while,
The sun that sends the gale to wander here,
Pours out on the fair earth his quiet smile,-
The sweetness of the year.
Where now the solemn shade,
verdue and gloom, where many branches meet;
So grateful when the noon OF Summer made
The valleys sick with heati
Let in through all the trees
Came the strange rays the forest depths bright;
Their sunny eolored foliage, in the breeze,
Twinkles, like beams oflght.
The rivulet late unseen,
Where pickering through the shrubs its waters run,
Shines with the image ofits golden screen,
The glimmerings of the
But meath yon crimson tree,
Lover to listening maid might breathe his flame,
Nor mark, within its roseate canopy,
Her blush ofmaiden shame.

An Ohio editor gives his views of the
several dances which he lately witnessed at
ball in Washington. He says:
"The want of variety in this metropolitan
dancing was, however, fully made up by
the fancy things, such as the waltz and pol
ka. These were absolutely barbarous. The
old-fashioned waltz, the morality of which
even Byron called in question, is here ig-
nored as altogether too cold and distant
The lady lays her head on the gentleman's
bosom, puts one hand on his, and the other
in his coat-tail pocket, and resigns herself tc
his embraces, and goes to sleep, all but hel
feet, which, when not carried by him cleal
off the floor, go pattiug around on the toes
The gentleman thus entwined, throws his
head back and his eyes up, like dying
calf; his body bent in the shape of figure
4, he whirls, backs up, swings around
swoons, to all appearances, dashes forward
and leaves the ring, to the delight of al
decent people"

A FLATTERING DIsTIcTIoN-lNDIGNANT
CoNvIcTs.-A Naples letter has the follow
ing curious narration:
"The l 800 convicts at Castellamare, tax.
ing advantage of the absence of the mill
tary, requested their liberty for one day
The officials, as you may well suppose, re-
ceived this singular application with all
sorts of restrictions; but, having no means
of resisting the somewhat threatening sup
plications of the applicants they bit upon
the expedient of requiring each of them to
give 'his word of honor that they would re-
turn at night. Wonderful to relate, the
convicts faithfully kept their word, and ev-
cry one returned, without having done inju'
ry to anybody during their shcrt interval of
liberty. A gentleman residing in the
neighborhood, having some doubts as to
the honorable intentions of these worthless,
ordered his gardener to keep the gates clos
ed and to be on his guard. 1T is altogeth-
er unnecessary, SIR said the man, the con-
victs at Castelllnare are murderers, but moi
thieves A lattering distinction, truly"

AYERS
Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is com
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvB
and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
RosE, or ERYspELAs, PMPLEs, PUsTULEs,
BLoTcHEs BLAINs and Bons, TUMoRs, TETTER
and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, RINowoRM,
RHEUMATISM, SYPHrLITIo and MERcURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYsPEPsIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING PROM VITA
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in g." in,pmity Of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue Of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

Tho trustees of the monument in Inde-
pendence Square, Philadelphia, in honor of
the signers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, report that they have not yet decided
upon any particular plan, but that their gen.

of thirteen sides, resting on base of sixty
feet; the thirteen sides to be united by an
entablature, on which will be craven the
Declaration of Independence; the whole to
be surmounted by tower or shaft of thir-
teen Sides each side containing niche, or

POISONING RATs.-The best food with
which to mix poison for killing rats is
pumpkin seed. Wet them and sprinkle on
little arsenic, which will adhere to tho
seeds. They will be eaten by rats and
mice while cats, fowls, &C., not being fond
of such food will not medlle with them
Wherever poison is put for these trouble
some pests of the farm, water should be
near by, so that they may eat, drink, and
die, outside of holes and hiding places.-
Muskrats, which are often troublesome pests
upon creeks or ponds may be poisoned with
arsenic upon parsnips or sweet apples.

A Y E RS
Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class OF diseases Originate
ing In hillary arrangement, cansed by
the Malaria OF Mtasmattc Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while It cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURB" expels the miasmatc poison Of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease if taken on the first ap-
proach Of its premOnitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach Of every body and in bilious districts where
FEVER AND AGUB prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
ton. A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermttents is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consttu-
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as If
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the masmatic poison. A great variety of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatism GOut, Headache, Bind
ness TO0thache, EGrdche, CatdY'rh, Asthma, Pat
pitdtion, Painful affection of the Spleen, Hyster-
les Pain in the BoIoels, Colo, Paralysis and De-
rdngenent Of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This "CURE expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable proteSuon TO
immigrants and persons travelling or tenn Porarily
residing in the malarous districts. If taken occa-
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease, Hence it is even more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will ever suffer from Inter
mitents if they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.

IRON FOR PEACH TREEs.-The scales of
iron nat accumulate around the anvil of a
shop, are more valuable than
manure for peach trees. A sbovefnl put
around healthy peach tree will be likely
to keep it in good condition; and it said
that trees already diseased have recovered
by the application of these scales. Iron in
any form will answer a good purpose.

Don't be afraid of little fun at home,
good people! Don't shut up your house,
lest the sun should fade your carpets; and
your hearts, lest hearty laugh shake down
some of the musty old cobwebs there If
you want to ruin your sons, let them think
that all mirth and social enjoyment must
be left on the threshold without, when they
come home at night. When once home
is regarded as only place to eat, drink, and
sleep in, the work is begun that ends in
gambling houses, and In reckless deg
radiation. Young people must have fun
and relaxation somewhere: if they do not
find it at their own hearthstones, it will be
sought at other, and perhaps less profitable
places. Therefore let the fire burn brightly
at night, and make the homestead delight
ful with all those little arts that parents SO
perfectly understand Don't repress the
buoyant spirits of your children; half an
hour of merriment around the lamp and
freight of a home, bots out the remem.
brence of many care and annoyance du
ring the day, and the best safeguard they
can take with them into the world is tht
unseen influence of bright little domestic
sanctum.

DYNG.-Bepjamin F. Taylor, of the
Chicago Journal, draws the following beau
tiful picture in reference to the certain de-
parture for that undiscovered country;
"There is adignily about that going away
alone. which we call dying-that wrapping
of the mantle of Immortality about us, that
putting aside with pale hand the azure
curtains that are drawn around the cradle
ofa world; that venturing away from home
for the first time in our lives, for we are not
dead to speak of, and seeing foreign coun-
tries not laid down on any maps we know
about. There must be lovely lands some
where starward, for none ever return thatgo
thither; and we very much douhA if any
would if they could"
