produced by the artist. It is view Of fine boat coming
in with pleasing surroundings but the painting itself
decidedly unequal the painting Of the Rebecca by Van
Bees Without being too upon tho artist It may
be remarked that the Rebecca is the most beautiful yacht
Of the feet and particularly adaptable for coastng After
all, we do not call Van Bees finished artist He was
still young when he died. Had he lived he would have be-
come one of the ars marine artists The defects Of this
painting Of the Henrietta may possibly arise from It's have

States page &c. the following singular passage
For agricultural colony, mider climate desi-
rabe In view OF settlement at the South De Mouts
pored and coonzed for France the rivers the and
the bays Of New England, far least Cape Cod
The numbers and hostility Of the savages led him delay
removal since his colonists so few Yet the pur
pose remained Thrice in the spring Of the following
year did Dupont his lieutenant attempt complete the
discovery. Thrice he was driven back by adverse
winds and at the third time his vessel was wrecked
Tourrincourt, who had visited France and was now re.
turned with supplies renewed the design. but meeting
with disasters on the shoals Of Cape Cod, he too
turned to Port Royal. Thss the first settlement on tho
American continent had been made two years before
James river discovered, and three years before
a cabin had been raised IN Canada.
Two hundred and fifty years have passed since that
time $685. and now we find another Dupont connected
with naval expedition at Port Royal. This is one OF
those condolences Ia which the muse Of history
loves indulge the first had succeeded In mis- effort

would have been the effect upon the destnies

harbor the future annals of the republic might have had

menaced New England in 1906, tho tables have been
turned IN 1861.

Fever and Ague,

Skom 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 exhalafion is evolved by
the action of solar heat sell. and rises with
the wztery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers the earth's
face, and the virus is taken with it through the
lungs into the blood. There il acts as an irritating
poison the internal yiscera and excreting organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
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 constitu-
tional disorder. The spleen. the kidneys, and the
stomach sympathize with the liver, and become
disordered also. Finally. the instinct of our
ganisIn, if in an attempt to expel the nOxious
infusion, concentrates the whole blood OF the body
the internal excre.orics TO force them to cast it
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 Gen.
tral organs and rIshes to the surface. rs if in
another effort to expe the irritating poison through
that other great excretory-the skin. In this
also it 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 paroxysms Of FEVER AND AGrE-
Such constitutional disorder will of course under
mine the health II it is not removed.

Stomach and Bowels, all of which, when arising
from this cause, will be found to assume more or

removes the cause of these dcrangements and cures

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
their Office of their own accord. Hence arises what

important advantage to the public, which is, that
