The Busfncss OF tho Summer.
The New York Tribune hRs the following
In 1eonrd tn fhc futnra 1noyr.


The New York Tribune has the following
speculations in regard to the future move
ne1ts Of the Government forces:
During the coming Summer OUT troops will
doubtless be chiefly employed in holding tho
forts, navy yards, and arsenals now in ourpos-
session in the seeded States; in fortifying and
protecting the national Capital; In looking
tharply to affairs In Maryland, Kentucky,
and Missouri, and being prepared to protect
loyal and punish rebellious citizens in those
States; sustaining the Union cause In Western
virginia, crushing the rebels in the eastern
ing Norfolk and Richmond; and in clearing
The banks and the channel Of theupper Mis-
tissippi Of traitors and pirates. This may be
done IN the hot months without impairing the
health Of cur troops, provided the Commisa-
rat Of the hospitals ore properly managed.
Then, when autumn ehan usher in inyigor-
ating breezes, heavy columns will descend in
to the rebel territories, In the east, the centre,
and the west, nor stay the march till our tlag
wares in triumph over Charleston, Montgom-
cry, and New Orleans. Than1ss to heaven, tho
raInes OF the brave men who pant for this ser
vice are Legion.

We think the hoops add grace to a
female in long dresses, when properly
worn, as well as add to her comfort
but there is no more abominable i'm
modest fashion than putting them on
school girls in short dresses, especially
very small girls. If teachers have
noticed the same evils which have come
into our view, they will agree with us
that such scandalous thing should be
discountenanced BY every means in
their power. We have seen little girls
ave years old, who could not sit on a
bench and be as well protected as Eve
was with ahg-leaf; we have seen those
a little older, whose appendages as
sumed nearlysthe perpendicular in
passing through narrow aisles in the
school-room, and we have seen . good
deal that we are warned not to tell of,
BY remembering the excitement pro-
duced by the ssimmodesty" Of teacher
who requested the female portion of
his school to ask their mothers to adjust
their clothing so as to keep it in its
place better. The cramped arrange
ments of many of our school rooms
make this special abomination in
school. Hoops and short dresses do
not belong together.-M Teacher.

COMPOUND Extract Of SarSaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUPTIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, ST.. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PIMPLEs, PUsTULEs,
BLorcHEs, BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEUM, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRM,
RHEUMaTIsM, SYPHILITIc and MERcURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITA
TED. OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " in,purity of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rila is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible IN
contaminated constitutions.

CONSTIPATION OR COSTIyENEss.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to'' is so
prevalent, so little understood, and SO much neg
iected as Costiveness. Often originating in care
lessness, or sedentary habits; it is regarded as
slight disorder of too little consequence to excite
anxiety while in reality it is the precursor and COM
panion of many of the most fatal and dangerous
diseases, and unless early eradicated it will bring
the sufferer to an untimely grave. Among the
lighter evils of which costiveness is the usual at
tendant Headache, Collie, Rheumatism, Foul
Breath, Piles and others of like nature, while a
long train of frightful diseases such Malignant
Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentery, Diarrhoea, Dyspep-
STA, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hystera, .Hy-
pochondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first indi-
cate their presence in the system by this alarming
symptom. Not unfrequently the diseases named
originate in Constipation, but take indepen-
dent existence unless the cause is eradcated in an
early stage. From all these considerations it fol
lows that the disorder should receive immediate
attention whenever it occurs and no person should
neglect to get box of Cephalic Pills the first
appearance of the complaint, their timely use
will expel the insidious approaches of disease and
destroy this dangerous foe to human life.
