rents compelled them to withdraw him
from school, and put him to work to assist
in maintaining the family He was ap-
prenticcd to his fathers trade-the regular
hours of work at it being from A NJ. to
P. NJ. But, like many other sons OF
genius in the same condition, he was even
ut that early age possessed with un uu-
quenchAhle thirst for knowledge, and he
resolved, since he could not hope for assist
ance from others, to use his utmost efforts
to educate himself.
For this purpose he resolutely denied
himself all the little luxuries which are so
attractive to the young, and many of the
necessaries of life as WELL that he might
gain the wherewithal to purchase the nee
essary books, and it hardly requires to be
told that it was by no means so easy for a
poor youth to purchase. or otherwise pro-
cure books twenty years ago as it is now.
To enable him to do this more effcctually,
it was his practice, during the whole peri
cd of his apprenticeship, to work overtime,
from seven till eleven at night, after which
he engaged in study till two in the morn
ing, leaving himself only two or three hours
for sleep. And so he went on for years
with untaltering perseverance and determi-
natisn, making himself thoroughly ac-
luainted with the English language and lit
erature.
AS soon as this was accomplished he
urned his attention languages, and after
Two or three years Of the same hard toll and
,liligent and ungemitting study, and still
without any assistance but what was de-
rived from 1oks, succeeded in mastering
Latin, French and German. He also, after
the expiration of his apprenticeship to his
fathers trade. learned that of a printer,
1ue Offering great opportunities of acquir-
ing knowledge, at which he worked for five
years, and till he obtained ;he situation he
now holds. Still as ardent as ever in the
pursuit of knowledge, he is At present en-
gagged in the study Of Spanish and Italian,
and has made great progress in acquiring
these languages.

rnrMoxT's GnACEEuL RETIREMENT.

While every intelligent man must ap-
prove the removal of General Fremont.
because of his uniitness for the very i'm
portant and responsible position to which
he was appointed, it will be universally
conceded that his conduct in retiring from
the command of our army in Missouri was
cminently patriotic discreet and commend
able. His farewell address to his soldiers
is the best thing that he has done. His ar
nv was attached-to him, no doubt; bat we
have no fears that his removal will result
in any serious nsubordiuation in the camp.
His Italian and Hungarian officers, brave
and gallant men, may be disposed to ad-
here to the fortunes of their leader; but
some allowances must be made to their ig-
norance of our political institutions and
of our military system. President Lincoln
is not the man to deal unjustly or ungener-
ously with any public officer. He has
dealt very tenderly with Fremont; but his
removal had become public necessity, to
which the President could no longer shut
his eyes; and this tells the whole story.

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-

An egotist is especially hated by all

The only good that q miser does, is to

found in wealth. To be angry with q

Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

is constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation !" indeed.
It ssems to be the rod of Him who says, ~
will visit the iniquitss of the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commences by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, i'll
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubereles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, erupions or sores. This foul cor
Yuption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, SO that scrofulous constitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other Diseases. conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-,
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases Of the liver, Kidneys brain,
and. indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or.
are aggravated by the same cause.
Onequarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renoyate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate It by healthy food and exercise.
Such q medicine we supply in
