PLASTER MODEL OF VIaGINlA.-An inge-
MUS and useful continuance of this nature,
executed by Major Thomas ii. Williamson,
formerly of this city, is at present on exhihi
ton in the room OF the State Library at
Richmond-to which, by the way, it is hop
ed it may be made a permanent acquisition
by purchase. The Dispatch describes it as
giving much clearer idea of the elevations
and Expressions on the face of our State
than can be obtained from any map, and it
seems to us may be studied to great advan-
tage hy those engaged in planning works
for It's internal Improvement. From the
know skill, accuracy and industry OF its
make, we doubt not that its arrangement
and p 'op ortions may be entirely relied on;
we certainly know that no truer VirginIan,
nor more single hearted gentleman lives
within the Commonwealth. In these times
none can be more appropriately rewarded.

Fever and Ague,

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 eXhaation is evolved
by the action of solar heat on wet soil, and rises
with the watery vapor from il. While the sun is
below the horizon this vapor fingers near the
earth's surface, and the virus is taken with it
through the lungs into the blood. There it acts
as an irritating poison on the internal visccra
and excreting organs of the body. The liver be-
comes torpid and fails to secretc 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
pathze with the liver, and become dsordered
also. Finally the instinct of our organism, as
if in an attempt to expe the noXious infusion,
concentrates the whole blood of the body in the
internal excrctories TO force them to cast it out.
The blood leaves the surface, and rushes to the
central organs with congcstivc violence. This is
the CHILL. But in this effort it fails Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the
central organs and rushcs to the surface, as if
in another effort to expel the irritating poison
through the other great excretory the skin. In
this also ii 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.
We have labored to find, and have found, an

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in tho
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 docs what is of more SER
vice to those subject to this infection. II taken
In season it expels it from the system it is abb
sorbed and thus keeps those who use it free from
its attacks; keeps the system in health although
exposed to the disease. Consequently il not only
cures, but protects from, the great variety of az
fcctions which are induced by this malignant
influence, such as Remittent Fever, Chill Fever,
Dumb, or Masked Aguc, Periodical Headache,
or Bilious Headache, Bilious Fevcrs, Neuralgia,
Rheumatism Gout, Blindness, Toothache, Ear
ache Catafrh, Asthma, Palpitatons, Painful At
fections 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 inermit-
tent type. This "AGUE CURE" removes the cause
of these arrangements, and cures the disease
This it accomplishcs by stimulating the cXcrc-
tories to expcl the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited TO do this
their office of their own accord. Hence arises
what we term dcclimdtioa. Time may accomplish
the same end, but often life is not long enough or
is sacrificed in the attempt, while this "AGUE
CURE" does it at once, and with safety. We have
great reason to believe this Is surer as well as
safer remedy for the whole class of diseases
which are caused by the miasmatic infection,
than any other which has been discovered; and
it has still another important advantage 10 the
public, which is, that it is cheap d well as good.

Bridge Project.

Bridge Project. s......
EE- Another effort is now being made
for, the erection of a bridge over the Riv-
er on the county road to Quasqueton,
South Of Court street. Messrs. BoGERT
and TwEEDDALE, the constructors of the
Railroad Bridge at this place. are now
here with pile drivers and all the neces-
sary appliances for prosecuting the work,
and will contract for the construction of
pile bridge 270 feet long. 90 feet wide.
with bents 20 fee: between the centres.
with oak caps and stringers. a proper rail
ing, and p inch planking. the bridge
braced similar to the Railroad Bridge.
for $500 per foot or a little over S2, 100,
taking all timber and lumber subscribed
at certain prices. stated on the specifca-
tons. This is believed to be a less price
than any other party will do the work
for. This bridge would shorten the dis
lance between this place and Quasqueton
about mile and a half. and give much
better road than is now travelled. Il
would undoubtedly be Of immense bene.
fit to the property holders and business
men in the Eastern and Southeastern par
Of our village. and they could not take
better step to enhance their business
and the value Of their property than tc
consummate this project. Over five hun
dred dollars are now subscribed, but un
less the parties most interested prove
themselves more liberal in subscription
than they have thus far been. the whole
affair will fall through, as it has done
several times before. If sufficient il
subscribed the structure will be finished
by the middle Of March. We hope tn
matter may be pressed TO a successful
consummation.

a, very pleasant speaker. though his low

His gestures are few but always in good
taste. and used only to emphasize his
words. His treatment Of his subject was
admirable throughout--the language ex-
cellent, the illustrations well chosens and
the argument, in our opinion. sound and
logical. He believed that men arise to
. eminence only through exertion, only
through toll. through unceasing and un-
wearied labor. They were not inspired

Go1al Matters.
Influence Of Smile in giving Beauty of
Expression.

expression
A beautiful smile is to the countenance
what the sunbeam is to the landscape. It
embellishes an inferior face, and redeems
an ugly one. A smile, however, should
not become perpctual--insipidity is the
result-nor should the mouth break into
a smile on one side, the other, remaining
passive and unmoved, for this imparts an
air of deceit and grotesquency to the
face. A disagreeable smile distorts the
line of beauty. and is more repulsive
than frown. There are many kinds Of
smiles, each having distinctive charac-
ter. Some announce goodness and sweet
ness, others betray sarcasm, bitterness
and pride. Some soften the countenance
by their lauguishing tenderness, others
brighten it by their brilliant and spiritu-
alvivacity. Gazing and porting before a
mirror cannot aid in acquiring beautiful
smiles half so we'll as when you save
