The first colony was sent out By Admiral
Col:yni, a Jealous Protestant. and then
one Of the Ministers OF the Crown, who al
the time Of the war between the French
Protestants and Caholics, obtained per.
mission Of Charles TX TO plant a cCIony of
Pro estauts in Florida "a name then ap.

coSst. Command Of twn vessels was nc.
cordingly given to Jean RibauIt. "a man
expert 10 sea causes" and in The spring OF
1862 he landed on the Florida coast.-
Sailing northward. he discovered several
rivers one OF which, "lrom the fairness
and largeness Of its harbor," he called
the Port Royal River. The old chron;.
cler Lardoniere, who accompanied the *.
pediton, describes the scene n glowing
colors. Splendid forests. shores festooned
with rich grape clusters, birds Of brilliant
plumage, stays and deers in the luxuriant
eavannahs. AS the commander cast his
eyes across the water Of the beautiful river
before him, says Lludonere, and meas
ured the Breadth of its mouth and the
depth Of its sounding, he persuaded him
self that the argosies OF Venice could ride
upon its bosom. Accordingly upon the
island few miles up Port Royal River he
erected, It is said, on the very spot where
the town OF Beaufort now stands, pillar
with the arms Of France, and lew days
alter built q fort, which in honor, Of his
King Chare~ TX, he called Charles Fort

that they were now occupants Of "vast

where man was to be honored, not for
his birth or fortune, but on account of his
own personal achievement>"--a lesson by
the way, sadly neglected by The after.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

is constitutional disease. n corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiatcd,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, Il
pervadcs the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of II. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which il may
not destroy. The scroftIlOus taint is variously
caused by mcrcurul disease, low living, dis.
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venercal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
sttuton, descending F." from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says. al
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcrrOus matter, which, in
the lunga, liver, aud internal organs, is termed
tubcrclcs; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcndcrs in the blood, dcprcsses
the energies of life, so that scroiulous cons,tu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to witii-
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scroftIlous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this tant in the
system. Most OF the consumption Which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrotuous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
anil, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all onr people arc scrofulous; (;
their persons are invaded by tlis lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
