Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

IS constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being i'll the circulation, it
peryadcs the whole body, and may burst out
i'll 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 varously
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the vencreul 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, 81
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, in
the lmgs, liver, and internal organs is termed
tubcrcles; i'll the glands, swellingS; and on
the surface, cruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupton, which genders i'll the blood, dcpresses
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
i'll 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
fiction, 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 III

CeIibacy Of Washington Irving.

Instead of being a defect" the ceibacv of
Irving was his crown of glory. Those who
have studied his writings must have been struck
with the remarkable transition from humor to
pathos, from the broadest fun to the most meGi-
tative sentiment, which occurs between the fa
cetious history Of New York aud the Sketch
Book Many, perhaps, imagine that this is ac-
counted for by his loss of fortune. But the feel
ing is too soellul TOR any such an interpretation.
1t had its origin in one of those disappontments
of the heart which color al! the subsequent life
of true man. We trust that there is now no
want of dehcacy IN al uding to the fact that the
subject Of Washington lrvlngs love died during
their bctrothaI We have heard the last inter
view described by member of her family; and
TO the sacred sorrow thus rendered Is to be
ascrbed much that Is touching and true in the
sentiment Of Irvlng's writings; to ais fealty to
this affection, in no small degree, is owing to
the continued sensbllty which kept his heart
fresh to the last and above all, that respect
for and sympathy with the innate and holy sen
timents of humanIiy which he so uniformly
cherished md manifested in letters and in life

cy for his sake aud tAat of his family of
daughters Washington Irving continued single,
took them oil home, and became father to the
children. Beautiful was their mutual devotion
happy their congenial household; and Sunny
side is now bequathed TO them.
No one familiar with Mr.. Irving associated
the idea Of celibacy with him; his nieces were
like daughters; his fair neighbors his tavorite
companions; children the delight Of his heart
With such free and fond affections, he could
under no circumstances lead the lite of SINGLE

A NOVEL SUGGEsTIoN.-A wag at our elbow
suggests, that in case the hot.spurs of the South
carry out their non-intercourse policy, the peO-
pie of the North retaliate, by refusing to pur-
chase or use any of their products. lie says,
we could very readily dispense with the use of
the " Virginia weed" in all its forms, and this
alone would be saving, yearly, of large
amount Of money. Tobacco, at best, is but a
noxious plant, and the use of it, IN any shape,
is vile, filthy and disgusting habit. Let,
therefore, every true patriot ofthe North-man,
woman and child-abstain from using the vile
trash, and in short time the " chvalry would
find out that non-ntercourse is game that
two can play at The suggestion is certainly
novel one, and we give it for what it it worth,
hoping at the same time that it may not end in
smoke !-Carlisle, (Pa) Herald.

How Janet's heart leaped at the blessed
words! That very morning she had an inter-
view with her brothers employers. They had
heen careless, but not Intentionally unkind, and
the girls story enlisted their sympathies
In day or two, George was removed to a
quiet comfortable private home, and his sister
installed herself by his couch, his nurse and
comforter.
Three years have passed. The shadows of
the night were dropping already around. Mrs.
OlarK sat IN her chamber humming nursery
tune, 10 which the cradle kept sort of rythmlc
movement. Sometimes she would pause sud-
dehIy' and adjust the snowy blankets around the
iace OF the little slumberer, shining out from
their brown curlS red apples shine out amid
fading leaves in October orchards. "Sh-sh."

In an under tone, placing small packet in her
lap.
The lady opened the packet with eyes filed
with wonder, while her husband leaned over
her shoulder and watched her movements.
a white box disclosed itself, and removing
the cover, Mrs. Clark deserted a small elegant
ly chased hunting watch. She lifted it with
cry OF delighted surprise, and touching the
spring the case flew back and on the inside was
engraved these words: ." 10 Mrs. Marv Clark.
IN token Of the life she Saued."

and Janet HILL" exclaimed the lady, and the
quick tears leaped into her eyes, lyon know

excellent situation head clerk in the tirm.-

THE PUBLIC ToNGuE-It is amusing and in
sructlve says the Porcupine, to hear the peo-
pie comment and speculate upon the merits and
dement's of public journals.
Men whose education is bounded by bare
ability 10 read-speilng The hard loordS-and
who know no more about literary propricty than
a COW knows about Hebrew, have the presump-
ton and audacity sometimes to say that this
newspaper, or that, is good for nothing" ""not
worth reading" "poor concern" and such
other things as would i'll beft even the mouth
of wise man, much less the mouth Of an un'
educated pumpkin. These barren spooneys
who set themselves up as newspaper censors
cannot, in nine cases out of ten, parse their own
names, or write three sentences dramatically
if it would save their souls from torture. They
would be knocked stiff if asked whether Shaks

Too MUcH LAw.-The codfcation OF the
laws of Massachusetts is about to be given to
the public in a ponderous folio, at cost OF $500,
GOO. The Boston Herald says that any reVl-
sion of the statutes which does not contemplate
the reduction of the laws one-tenth. is labor
that might as we'll not have been undertaken.
The Code Napoleon, complete, admirable, and
we'll digested body of laws. calculated for the
protection of an Empire Of forty millions of peo-
pie is so compact, 1t is contained in volume
no larger than the New Testament. The Mas
sachusetts Code foT the protection of million
of people is so dItiuse it would fill stack o1
New Testaments. The same evil exists In this
State, and it increases with every session OF the
Legislature. Nor will the evil be likely to be
reformed, SO long as the profession who live by
the law are mainly employed as the Iaw-ma-
kers. The more complex the Code the more
work for the lawyers, and the better they thrive
by it!
