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 exhalation is evolved BY
the action Of solar heat on wet soil. and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earths sur
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There it acts an irritating
poison on the internal viscera and excreting organs
Of the body The liver becomes torpid and fails 10
secrete not only this virus, but also the bile from
the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitn-
tional disorder. The spleen. the kidneys. and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally. the instinct Of our or
ganism, as If in an attempt to expel the noxious
Infusion concentrates the whole blood Of the body
in the internal excretories to force them to cast
out. The blood leaves the surface, and rushes TO
the central organs with congestive violence: This
is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the CEN
tsal organs and PUSHES to the surface. as if in
another effort to expel the irritating poison through
that other great excretory-tAc skin. In this
also il fails, and the system abandons the attempt
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.

A Good and q Poor Cow.


Few old farmers ever realize the diff
ference 10 profit between keeping good
and poor stock. The following from
Goodals's Principles Of Breeding. we
commend to the careful attention Of ey-
cry one who has the least idea of be-
coming farmer. or of keeping even

Let US reckon little. Suppose a
man wishes to buy q COW. Two are
offered him. both four years old. aud
which might probably he servicabls for
ten years to come. With TIE same food
and attendance the FIRST will yield for
ten months in the year an average Of
five quarts per day-and the other for
the same term will yield seven quarts.
and Of equal quality. the difference in
yield is six hundred quarts per annum.
For the purpose of this calculation we
will suppose itworth three cents quart
amounting to eighteen dollars. Is
not the second cow-while she holds
out to give it-as good as the first land
three hundred dollars at interest be-
sides? IF the first just pays for her
food aud attendance, the second. yield
ing two-fifihs more. pays forty per cent
profit annually; and yet how many
farmers having two such cows for sale
would make niore than ten, or twenty,
or at most thirty dollars difference in
the price The profit from one is
eighteen dollars a year-in ten years
one hundred and eighteen dollars, be-
sides the annual accumulations Of in
,erest-the profit Of the other is-no,h.
ing. II the seller has need to KEEP one
would he NOT be wiser 10 give away the |
first. tl,an to part with the second for
hundred dollars.

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizes this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to cxpe it from the
body. As it should, so it does this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty. And i, does more,
or rather does what is Of more service to those sub
ject to this infection. II taken in season it expels
it from the system it is absorbed 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 affections which are induced
By this malignant influence. such as Remittent
Fever. Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilous
Fevcrs, Neuralgia, rheumatism, Gout, Blindness.
Toothache, Earache, Catarrl, Asthma, Palpita-
lions, Painful Affections Of the Spleen Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis, and Painful Affections Of the
Stomach and Bowels, all Of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found TO assume more or
less the intermittent type. This AoUB Cum I"
removes the cause CT these deTangements and cures
the disease.
This il accomplishes by stimulating the excre-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habitea to do this
their Office of their own accord. Hence arises what
We term acclimokotion. Time may accomplish the
same end, but oflen life i not long enough, or is
sacrificed in the attempt. while this AoUE CURE -
docs it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this i q suref as well a. safer
remedy for the whole class Of diseases which are
caused by the miaEnatic 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.

1.-THE Next Election ~

Messrs. EDIToRs:-Your article in the
Chronicle of May 2Sth, entitled THE nexi
Election" also one of a similar import in
q Cleveland paper Of a recent date has
suggested the following queries.
Has it not been the practice with all
political parties in this State to elect their
|Governors for two terms when in their
power to do so? Ifso, since the established
usage gives the present incumbent the
head Of the ticket. is it necessary to the
formation of the "Union" proposed, that
another name be substituted for his?
Is he not as good q Union man as we
have in the State? Docs he not possess
executive ability in an eminent degree?
Has he at any time or in any manner,
proved recreant to the important trust re-
posed in him? If not, where is the policy
Iof, or necessity for thrusting him thus un-
tremendously to one side; thereby viola
ting the established usage?
What sins Of commission, or of omis-
sion, has he been guilty of, to merit such
treatment at the hands of the public?
If Union ticket is to be formed in thil
State, land | sincerely hope one will be,
would any Democrat ask, or expect, nay
if their object was Union. for the good Of
the Union, would they submit to such
treatment of a good Union man as is pro
posed for the present Governor?
Would any high minded Democrat &C
cept Of a nomination, rendered under such
circumstances?
Are there not other, and important off,
GERS to be elected, that might be selected
from the Democratic side of the great I'm
ion party, that would cement the Unior
much stronger, than to do violence to time
houOred presidents?
