IMPURE BLOOD,

The blood is the life and when any foreign

Every nerve feels the poison, and all the vital
organs quickly complain. the stomach will
not digest the food perfectly. The liver ceases
to secrete n suticiency of bile The action of
the heart is weakened, and so the circulation is
feeble. The lungs become cogged with the
poisonous matter hence, a cough-and all from
a slight impurity at the fountain head of life

for instance, in pure spring, from which ran a
tiny rivuet in few minutes the whole course

AS quickly does impure blood fly toevery part,
and leave its sting behing. All the passages
become Distracted, and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp of life soon dies out.

MORMON ADVICE TO COMPLAINING WIVES
The following advice to wives who are in
slined to complain Of their husbands is given
by Brigham Young, in sermon lately deliv-
cred at Salt Lake City;
will here make few remarks which
think will check some Of the complaints from
women about their husbands. I acknowledge
that many women know much more than their
husbands, and for this reason the faith and
uphold them in the dignity of their position
does not magnify his priesthood, follow dill
gently the duties of his calling, and increase
In the faith of the gospel, as it is his privilege
to do. he should be the head Of the wife, all
the day long will venture to say little
more upon this point. I like to SEQ people
consistent with the wisdom they profess to
have. Were woman possessed Of great
powers Of mind, filed with wisdom, and, upon
privileged with my choice, and had married a
man and found myself deceived, he not an
swering my expectations, and being sorry
that I had made such choice, let me show
my wisdom by not complaining about it. A
WOMAN Wlsuom anu JuuBmeut uae iaueo hor
once in the choice Of husband, and 1t may
again, If she ia not very careful. By seeking
to cast of her husband, by Withdrawing her
confidence and good will from him, she casts a
dark shade upJn his path, when, by pursuing
proper course of love, obedience, and en-
enlargement, he might attain to that perfec-
ton she had anticipated in him. When the
enemy once gets advantage over you, he is
very apt to improve upon it, and to gain a
greater when he has another opportunity.

The IDEAL BEAUTY OF AMERICAN ARTISTS
AND THE OLD MAsrHRs.--A writer in the New
York Independent has the following:
Our American artists conceive q different
ideal beauty from the anoients, or even the
Continental artists, comparatively modern
such as Raphael, Titan, Tintoretto and others
cotemporaneous. It has more Of the spirit
uelle, though will not say less of physical
beauty. More Of the intellectual, but not at
the expense Of the emotional. do not say
that they express their ideal as well, or em-
body it in form as perfect. But think I
hazard little in saying it is higher ideal of
woman than Tintoretto or Titan or even Ra-
phael seemed to possess, judging from their
works--a higher ideal even than is expressed
in the physical perfection of the Venus de
Medici. 1t was o natural consequence that
artists, living at time when the intellectual
character of women was deprecated, should
be Influenced by the prevailing sentiment,
and so conceive of highest beauty as consist
ing in external form. The American artist,
while he does by no means contemn physical
perfection, yet sympathizing with nobler
public sentiment, which trust pervades our
entire people, conoeives an ideal Of female
beauty whore perfection Of form ia united with,
and secondary TO, purity Of heart and nobility
of soul. Such ideals, while they are just
toward woman, at the Same time do her honor.
Aud euch conceptions, embodied in artistic
forms, make painting and sculpture strong
auxilisries to virtue. ~

A MATRIMONIAL MANnC-A MAN MARRY.
ING FOURTEEN WoMEN.-A good story is told
of chap in North Carolina who went the
entire figure in the way Of oourtipg all the
girls who would have him, without asking for
any Of them to die off, as thelaw directs. After
having married his thirteenth some of his
first loves csme down upon him, and had hiru
lodged in Jail. Buta person so fond of liberty,
and who could get into Hyinen's moose with
such ease, found little difficulty in getting out
Of the "jug;" and the next news Of him he
was running at large, with heavy reward for
his apprehension. He was shortly recognized
by gentlemen, who, anxious to get the
reward, invited him to his house, desired him
to sit down--called his wife to chat with him,
as an inducement to detsin him there-while
he made some excuse for leaving him O few
moments, and started for constable to arrest
the runaway. What was the poor mans as
tonishment, on returning with the constable,
to find the gay Lothario-taking advantage Of
his short absence-had absconded with his
wife. This made the fellows stock Of wives
on hand fourteen.

OBEYINa ORDERS TO THE DEATH.--A young
lady from Now Albany died one day lasI

evening dispatch was received by the Agenl
of Adams's Express to forward the body to
New Albany in charge Of messenger. The
Company's wagon was sent with an order to

senger arrived there it had been buried. 1t
was then night and dark, but the Express
Company's employees, prompt as they Away
are, proposed, with the consent of the Super.
intendent, to dig 1t up and forward it. The

TIE WIDOW AND THE WIFE--GooD CAUSE
FOR FraHr.-A newly made widower of
Wayne Township, Ind, and buxom widow,
having been said to be more lovingly inclined
to each other than the gossiping neighbors
liked, one Of them joked him in rough styl
about squeezing the widow, which made the
widower angry, and he thus replied: "I
squeezed your wife before you evsr did, and the
only difference could see between the widow
and her was, that while your wife leaned up
to me like sick kitten to a hot brick, as
though she loved it, the widow squirmed o
little and squsaled." This was the signal for
fight, which continued for some time, and until
some passers- by separated them. The parties

A GENUINE MERMAID IN JAPAN.--A corre-
spondent in Japan says he has seen verita-.
bic mermaid, at least il is so ingeniously put
together that no eye can see the Joint. He
gives this description Of the invention, in
which it does not appear dangerously seduo-
tive by reason Of Its beauty: v,
This animal, it is said, consists of head,
in shape, size, formation of the eyes and nose,
number. form and position of the teeth, like q
monkeys; of long, slender neck; of a chest,
having sternum and several distinct pairs Of
ribs. 1t has long, ape-like arms, terminating
in five fingers, Of which the middle one is the
longest and largest. On the head and body,
above the fishy portion, are here and there
spots of fur remaining, like the fur Of mon
key in length and texture, Of a brown color.
The closest scrutiny that can be given fails to
reveal any traces of tho union of the animal
and fshy parts. Psychologists say that such
q union is impossible; and Of the medical and
other experts, who have examined this mon
ster, some, bstfled to discover by eyesight, any
deception, simply rest on this dictum, and
others admit that nothing but dis
section can really settle whether this be most
ingenious fraud or hss,S naturo. For my own
part, must confess that can sec no trick,
though Il may be one. t

BUSINESS WITH THE SoUTH.-The New York
Tribune remarks: "The Central Railroad of
Georgia, running from Savannah to Macon,
connecting at Savannah with tfi-weekly
line of steamhips to New York, is the grand
freight-oarrying road Of the South, and would
be the first to feel falling off of trade with
New York. The year ending December l.,
1859, showed an unparalleled success--the net
earnings being nearly 25 per cent. on the
capital. The month Of December, 1859, shows
an increase of receipts over the corresponding
month Of the preceding year Of $4,000; and
the business Of the month Of January, thus
far, maintains the same advance. We believe
the Southern steamers never did better win
tor business than they are now doing. A new
additional steamer is nearly ready to tske her
place in the Savannah line. (" Ja

CHANoss OF LITERARY IMNoRTALIrY.-The
tables Of literary mortality show the follow
ing appalling facts in-regard to the chances of
an author to secure lastingfame. Out Of 900
published books, 800 never pay the cost Of
printing, &c, 200 just pay expenses, 100 re-
turn slight profit, and only 100 show a SUBJ
stsntial gain. Of these 1000 books, $50 ar
forgotten BY the end Of the year, and 15O more
at the end Of three years; only 50 survive
seven years publicity. Of the $4,000 publi-
cations put forth in the seventeenth century,
hardly more than so have q great reputa-
tion and are reprinted. Of the $4,000 works
published in the eighteenth century, postsrity
has hardly preserved more than were rescued
from oblivion in the seventeenth century.
Men have been writing books these 5000
years, and there are hardly more than 500
writers throughout the globe who have sur
vived the outrages Of time and the forgetful-
ness Of man.

FREQUENCY OF MuRDRR IN NEW ORLEANS.
The New Orleans Pisayuns, commenting on the
frequency of murder in that city, says: We
have of late, in this city, been almost daily
called upon to record the death Of soma per-
son by the hand of violence. II seems that
difficulties the most trivial are settled only by
the pistol or the knife. A slight quarrel in a
gambling hell, or a coffee-saloon, between
sporting .men-a rude encounter between
laborers on the levee, or near the crowded
rooms which they call homes, is followed by a
death-struggle soon afterward in some public
place. and SO frequently have such tragedies
become, that they scarcely awake ordinary in
terest Even the policemen, in the discharge
of their duties, are now in constant danger Of
their lives. Within one week. past, two or
three of the corps have either been killed or
dangerously wounded.
