AN AFFECTING sNcIDENT.

A few days since, the several regi-
mcnts Of General Sickles' Brigade were
sworn into the service Of the United
States, by the administration of the Gus
tomary oath. -Four regiments had been
sworn in, and each one took the solemn
oath, accompanied and followed with
hurrahs. When the 9Th Regiment was
drawn up in a line, an officer of one Of
the companies, stepped to the front, ad-
dressed Gen. Sickles, and requested that
his regiment might be sworn in with
prayer. 1t was too solemn moment
for hurrahs. The General told him
that the chaplains were absent, and there
was no one to call upon to perform the
duty. The officer replied that he would
call upon one under his command, if the
General would give him leave. Consent
was given. The duty was explained to
the regiment, and the officer called upon
youth, seventeen years Of age, TO step
In front and lead them in prayer. DE
Immediately took his place assigned
him, and engaged in prayer. The whole
regiment was melted into tears, as hun
dreds who were standing around as wit
nesses of the scene. The men stood
weeping after the prayer was over. So
deeply affected was the General, that he
sent for the chaplains to come and wit
ness the scene. 1t was from his own
lips that these facts, were deriVed-N.

Ague Cure,

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Interrntttcnt Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases originat-
ing in hillary derangemeMt, caused by
the Malaria OF Iiaslnatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community q
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is Invaluable in districts
where these aictng disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
velopmcnt Of the disease, if taken OH the first APP
proach of its prcmonitory symptoms. Its not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered fer this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure and protec-
lion. A great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Interntens is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no qllsIn or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu-
ton. Those cured by it are left rs healthy as II
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence OF
the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, RkessniHtiSm, Cont, Headache, Blind
ness Ioothache, EayUche, CGta1Th, asthma, I'aE
pitat,on Painful affection Of tie S0lesa,- Hyster'-
ics Pam an tie Bo1rels, CoLc ParafySts and De-
rangement of tie Stomach, all of which,, Nher
originating i'll this cause, put on the antermiae,tS
type. or become periodical. This "CVnB eXpels
the poison from the blood, aAd consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling CT temporarily
residing in the,maarious districts. If taken occa-
sionalv or daily while exposed to tae infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to Eipen into dis
case. Hence it is more valuable for protec-
ton than cure and few will ever suffer from Inter-
mttents if they avail themselves Of the protection
this remedy affords.

The Charm, of Life.
There are a thousand things in this
wexld to- agict and sadden-tut oh!
how many that, are beautiful and good!
The world TEENS With beauty-with OBJ
jects that gladden.. the eye and warm the
heart We might be happy if We would,
There are ills that we, cannot escape
the approach of disease and death-of
misfortuaes-the sundering of the early
ties, and tbs eanker-worm Of grief-but
the vast maj Gritty of evils that beset US
might be avoided. - The curse of intem-
perance interviewer as it is with all the
ligt ments Of society, is, one which never
strikes but to destroy. Therei is not one
bright page upon the record Of its pro-
gress-nothing to shield it from the
heartiest execration of the, human race.
It should not exist-it must not. Do
away with all this-let wars comes to
an end, and let friendship, charity, love,
purity and kindness mark the inter
course between man and man. We are
too selfish, as if the world was made for
US alone. How much happier would
we be were we to labor more earnestly
to promote each others good God has
blessed us with a home that is not dark.
There Is sunshine everywhere-in the
sky, upon the earth-there would be in
most hearts if we would look around us.
The storm dies away, and a bright sun
shines out. Summer drops her tinted
curtains upon the earth, whi, h is very
beautiful when autumn wreaths her
changing breath upon it. God reigns
i'm the heavens. Murmur not at being
SO good, and We can live happier than
we do.

six hundred years ago, consider that
great day when we shall all be eotempo-
raries and make our appearance together.

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 CON-
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 he employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tions which arise from it, such as ERUPrIvE
and SKIN Diseases, Sr. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIrELhs, PIMpLEs, PUsruLEs,

EASES, DRorsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VIr1A-
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in F." im,p,oity Of The blood" is founded in truth,
for scroftla is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health IS impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

A Splendid Peroration.

The Hon. Joseph Holt concluded a
glorious speech in Louisville, on Satur-
day evening last, with the following fer
vent appeal:
Even as with the Father of US all,
would plead for salvation, SO, my
countrymen, upon my very knees, would
I plead with you for the life, aye for the
life, of our great and benefcient institu-
tions. But if the traitors knife, now at
the threat Of the Republic, is to do its
work, and this Government is. fated to
add yet another to that long line of
seralchres which whiten the highway of
the past, then my heartfelt prayer to
God is, that it may be written in history,
that the blood of its life was not found
upon the skirts of Kentucky.

ScrOfula. or Kings Evil.

Is constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes ytiated,
weak, and poor Being i'll the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease OH 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 mcrcurial disease low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and.
above all, by the yenereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stltutlon, descending Z" from parents to children
unto the third and Fourth gencration;" !" indeed
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, 81
will visit the iniquities Of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; i'll the glands, swelliugs; and on
the surface, eruptlons OF sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders in the blood, dcpresscs
the energies of liic so that scrofuous constitts-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous conf
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 i'll their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this tirint III the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this serofulous 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.
One quarter of all our people are scroftIlous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health is undermined by it.
10 cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in
