amount TO $l,296,00O. This is a forcible

NS-The question is often asked -"Why is it
that DR. j. G.. Young is so successful, while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day to
dny?r The answer must be or should be, plainly
apparent to all; it is. that he understands his
profession and attends to 1t; and as his practice
increases his knowledge extends. SO close has
been his application to his unprecedented prlc-
tice that he is perfect master OF his profession,
and can insure all relief from their trouble; and
while others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered
his course is onward and upward placing him at
the head OF his arduous profession. So great has
been his increase of business that he has been
obliged to associate himself with two other physi-
clans both of extended knowledge and practice
We would advise all afflicted to call upon him in

CONSTITUTIONAL DEBILITY AND SEMI

DR YOUNG addresses those who have injured
IL themselves by improper ln9ulgences in that
secret and solitary habit which ruins the body
and the mind uniting them for either business
and society. The following are some OF the sad
and melancholy effects produced by early habits
of YOUTH viz: Weakness Of the back ana limbs.
pain in the head dimness Of sight loss OF musca-
lar power palpittiion Of the heart, dyspepsia,
nervousness irrtability, arrangement OF the dl-
gestive functions. general debility, symptoms OF
consumption. &c.
MENrAILY-The fearful effects upon the mind
are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, con-
fusion of ideas, depression of spirits. evil fore
bodng aversion Of society. sclf-distlust. love OF
solitude etc. are most of the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any Of the
above symptoms should not fail TO call on DR..
Young. and be at once restored to perfect health.

and awful consequences of this terrible malady,

FOREIGN INTERVENTION.

1t seems to US that those who predict, or
are apprehensive OF, immediate intervention
by England and France in the American
quarrel, as the result of the late movements
on the Peninsula, overlook two very impor
tant considerations.
In the first place, were Enga or France
the evidence, on its face, patent 10 the whole
world, that they have all along been seeking
pretext to throw the weight of their arms
and their moral influence in favor of the re.
bellion. Instant action in favor of the South
on their part would exhibit an indecency
haste, regardless of consequences, unparalleled
in the history of the world. 1t is fair to presume
that England and France, willing to avoid
such an injurious imputation, will act with
great elaboration, even if they are determined
to recognize the Southern Confederacy, and
that they will delay long enough to have the
step seem to be taken after the most mature
deliberation.
In the next place, even suppsoing the i'm
preston has gone abroad that the Confeder-
ate armies gained decided advantage over
the Union forces in the late series of battles
the great powers of Europe will naturally
await a more full statement of the advantages
lost or won, before coming to any decision as
to the line of policy which they will adopt
Not merely that, they will be disposed to stand
aoof from our internal difficulties, until it
shall be determined whether the Confederates
have gained any permanent advantages over
the United States Government, or whether
our late reverse be merely accidental and
temporary. If in the course of the next twc
or three months, McClelan's position is SC
strengthened that he can move upon Rich
mond with the moral certainty of reducing
it, and capturing or dispensing the rebe
army, then Foreign Intervention will be in,
definitely postponed.
In this view we cannot fail to see thatToul
great security against foreign interference ii
to promptly reinforce Gen. Mcclellan. No
an instant Of time should be lost Let the
new levy of 100000 troops be raised with the
utmost dispatch. Energy now, may save III
rom years of disastrous war with foreign
powers

suffering himself to be supported tor an

Part Second, Sec, 80, provides, that "No

Chaplin has resided in this State only a

cured with the semi-secessionists in sem
timent, and a majority of the legal voters
agreed with him and them, we should have
no great fear of his filling the office, and
therefore we fail to discover what particu-
lar interest we can have in his declination.
Mr.. Chaplin is man who will neither be
controlled by the Herald nor the Courier,
we imagine. He will accept the nominal
ton if it COMFORTS with his views of pro-
priety and duty, or he can decline it, for
aught we care, personally.

Canada taking its cue from the "h'old

Canada, taking its cue from the " hold
country is secesh in its proclivitles'-
Manifestation of this appears in the re-
luctance our neighbors over the line show
to tax ing bills of American banks, though
as sound and well secured as their own.
In consequence some annoyance is expe-
rienced by Western travellers passing
through Canada, in having to pay specie
altogether, or submit to heavy discount
ON u. S. bank bills. This can be eiiec-
tually avoided, however, by taking line
of railroad that does not enter Canada.
Verb sap Burlington Free Press
We have already expressed our opin |
ion pretty freely upon the subject above
alluded to. The time has come when
American travellers should have some re-
gard for the interests of American rail-
ways. Railroad stocks and property are
heavily taxed by the Government to fur
nish means to support the present war,
burden which the stockholders cheerfully
bear. Why, then, should citizens oil the
United States travelling from the East to
the West, and from the West to the East,
bestow their patronage upon foreign rail-
ways instead of our own? Why should
they submit to the annoyances spoken OF
by the Free Press, when they can be just
as well avoided? Why should we scat
ter our dollars in Canada, amongst peo-
pie who have no sympathy with us, and
who seize upon every opportunity to ira
duce and ridicule us as a people-who
laugh at our calamities, and insult our
National pride? Why patronize a rail-
way whose managers refuse to permit the
display of the Stars and Stripes by one OF
its American employees.
We again call attention to the fact that
| the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
Railways pay tar to the Government
, upon eoery passenger eOho passes o0er he'l
t Roads. Those, therefore, who take the
Ct West'n Road through Canada, rob heiI
, o,0m Government, and give the money i
: so much needs to carry the war to a sue
G cessful issue, to its bitter enemies. Thi
is the simple truth. Verify, if a word tt
the wise is not sufficient, word to tn
S patriotic should be. We advise all VIII
y are going West to take the Lake Shor
Road. If Americans mean to "rul
America" they must patroniee America
o interests and not those of her enemies,

PET NAMEs.-It has become somewhat
common in modern times to apply familiar
pet names to the worlds heroes. Thus
the soldiers and personal admirers of Ma
poleon Bonaparte used to delight to call
him the Little Corporal" or "Little
Nap" McClellan's soldiers dub him
Little Mac" and Douglas was hailed as
the Little Giant" by his enthusiastic
admirers. And now, latterly, after "drill-
ing" the editor of the Courier for a few
weeks, we have evidently inspired in him
such an affection for us, that he places us
in the same category by calling us Little
Dewey" Thus it is that the editor of the
Courier generously helps along his friends,
cells ct remiS. But, after all, we don't
quite like the name. 1t doesn't sound
euphoneous. And yet our repugnance to
it may wear off, since we remember the
pretty French adage: De NEST que le
premier pas gu coute."
Wishing to reciprocate the kindness of
the Courier, we are querying whether its
editor will be most pleased with the sch.
riiquet of " Little Cain or Cain II

LEA correspondent of the Courier who

WA correspondent of the Courier who
signs himself "UNCLE TOBY" says he
went to hear the speech of G. Co Dewey
of the Herald at Pittsford on the 4th of
July, and that he "was not at all aston
ished when he found that the whole bur-
den of his song was the holding De-
mocracy,' with dig at the Pope, Priest,
and Irishmen," We admit that Mr.. D.
did speak in no very complimentary terms
of the slave-holding traitors. No doubt
his remarks were somewhat bitterly de-
mandatory of them and their treason, but
he was not aware that he was wounding
the feelings of "Uncle Toby"
The only allusion made by Mr.. Dewey
to Popery, was an historical one, simply
for the purpose of illustrating his argu-
ment. He alluded to the fact that soon
after King Henry absolved himself and his
kingdom from allegiance to the Pope, and
England assumed the position of Pro-
testant Power, the maritime supremacy
of the seas passed from Catholic Spain
to Great Britain, as Illustrative of the truth
that, under Providence, great and benef-
cent religious, moral and political results
flow from revolutions and civil connections,
That was the "dig" which was made al
the Pope and Priest" If "Uncle Toby
were the Pope" himself he must be ex'
tremely thin-skinned to take offence at the
relation of historical fact concerning the
temporal reign of his predecessors. AS nc
allusion whatever was made by Mr.. Dew
! ey to Irishmen, of course he did no
hit them a "dig." Had he spoken o
them at all, it would have been to com
mend their patriotism and their valor.
"Uncle Toby's" communication evi
IDENTIFY was manufactured for the Irisl
market in Rutland. We think the advan
tages gained will hardly pay for the false
hood.

Oh the pleasant summer rain
From the windows in the skies
How the little children laugh
When IL hils their shining eyes
When the pearls drop in their eyes.
And they run as fast as rabbits
Run mad races with the rain,
While the music OF their voices
Addeth 10 the sweet refrain
OF the softly singin rain
See the ,hining golden cu'ls-
See the brown aud auburn hair, .-.
Blown with grace around their faces
Lifted by the summer air
To show diamonds hidden there.
See the rain kiss lip and cheek,
Brightly rcd as they can be,
As like floe OF little lambs
Skip their bare feet lOyously-
Trip their pink feet merrily,
See the little dresses blowing
Rosy hands all linked together
Eyes sparkling and cheeks glowing
How they love the rainy weather!
How it makes them cling together!
oh, God loves the little children
And do gn from the Widowed skies
Drops these blessings on their he ads,
And these rain trop' In their eyes
So they'll look up 20 the skies,
Beautiful and very pleasant

With tn ir 10 Sc hair strung with rain pearls
With cheeks red as they can be,
And lip, light with melody.
Bat amen from windows lower;

From the sky within Their eyes
From the windows in their eyes
And the pink feet will go slower,
For the music of this rain
Win be very sad aud holy
Not so wild as the refrain
Which we hear in summer rain.
But their sweet lives will be better,
And they'll love God all the more
For the rain from TX esa and heart,
When he leads them through the door
Where the rain comes nevermore!
