THE BAD HARVEST AND SUMMER IN Enc
LAND.-The English government is 50 much
alarmed at the consequences Of the deficient
harvest, that loan of$5,0oo,o00 has been
authorized to make up any deficiency in
the customs revenue. Previously, the gov
eminent felt confident Of a surplus. The
summer to the oath ofAugust IS thus pitl-
lily described in the London correspondence
of the N. Y. Commercial.
On the whole, the Summer has been
worse than any in ordinary remembrance.
In fact, there has been neither spring nor
summer, the appearance Of yerdure on the
trees having been almost the only thing to
Indicate any change of season since Febru-
airy. Fires and warm clothing have been
necessary during nearly the whole time.

Remembering the shiftless, lazy and

The suspicious looks of the crop man

Wheat and oats are sufficiently thrashed TO

from which mankind suffer over a large part of
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action
in the system, induced by the poisonous miasm
of vegetable decay. This exhaaton is evolved
by the action of solar heat wet soil, and rises
with the watery vapor from it. While the sun is
below the horizon this vapor fingers near the
earths 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 secrete not only this
virus, but also the bile from the blood. Both
the virus and the bile accumulate i'm the oircula-
ton, and produce violent constitutional disorder.
The spleen, the kidneys, and the stomach SYM
pathize with the liver, and become dsordered
also. Finally, the instinct of our organism, as
if in an attempt to expcl 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 congestve 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 excretory = 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.

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


THE AIM OF THE PERIODICAL WILL BE
EIRST In Literature, to leave no province
Il unrepresented, SO that, while each num-
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 Ar
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 particular subject than
on any other claim whatever. In this way they
hope to make their periodical welcome whereey-
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
true and fearless representative of Art, in all
its various branches, without any regard to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or 70
private considerations Of what kind soever.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ of no party or clique, but will honestly
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 q true
and lasting national prosperity. 1t will not
rank itself with any set OF antics but with that
boz y OF men which is in favor of Freedom, No
tlonal Progress, and Honor, whether public or
private.
TERMS: Three Dollars year, or Twenty Ave
Cents number, and may be obtained of Book

Ayers Ague Cure.

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from
the body. AS it should, so it does cure this af-
fictive disorder with perfect certainty. And it
does more, or rather does what is of more SER
vice to those subject to this infection. If taken
in season it eXpels it from the system as it is alb
sorbed, and thus keeps those who use it free from
its attacks keeps the system in health although
exposed to the disease. Consequently it not only
cures, but protects from, the great variety of af
fections which are induced by this malignant
influence, such as Remittent Fever, Chill Fever,
Dumb, or Masked Ague, Periodical Headache,
or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fevers, Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, Govt, Blindness, Toothache, Ear
ache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitatons, Painful AT
fcctons of the Spleen Mysteries, Collie, Paralysis,
and Painful Affections of the Stomach and Bow
els, all of which, when arising from this cause,
will be found to assume more or less the intermit
tent type. This GAG UE CURE" removes the cause
of these arrangements, and cures the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the eXcre-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited to do this
what we term dccimdtion. Time may accomplish
is sacrificed in the attempt while this "AGUE
CURE" does it at once, and with safety. We have
great reason to believe this is a surer as well as
safer remedy for the whole class of diseases
which caused by the miasmatic infection,
than any other which has been discovered; and
it has still another important advantage to the
public, which is, that it is cheap as well as good.

The Journal might add that Judge
Baldwin, just elected to the Supreme

Governor Kirkwood is nearly six feet
