Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralises this malsrious poison in the

II from the system it is absorbed. and thus keeps
those who use il free from its attacks; keeps the

Consequently it not only cures, but protects from,

from this cause, will be found TO assume more or

removes the cause Of these derangements and cures
the disease.
This it accomplishes by stimulating the sxcre-
tories to expel the virus from the system and
these organs by degrees become habitea to do this
their Office Of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term GcclimafGfion. Time may accomplish the

does it At once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is surer as web as safer
remedy for the whole class Of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and il has still another
important advantage to The public, which i. that

WE SHALL BE CHANGED

On one of our autumn days, dur
ing what we call our Indian Sum-
mer, when the beaver and the musk
rat do their last work on their VIM
ter homes, when the birds seem to
be getting ready to wing themselves
away TO miIder climates, when the
run spreads warm haze over all the
eds, a little child went out into his
theirs home-lot. There he saw a
little worm creeping toward a small
bush. 1t was rough, red, and ug-
Unlocking thing. But he crept
slowly and patiently along, as if he
felt that he was a poor, unsightly
creature.
Little worm," said the child.
"Where are you goingw
Il am going 10 that little bush yon-
der, and there am going TO weave
nv shroud and die. Nobody will
be sorry, and that will be the end Of
me-"
"No, no, little worm! My faith
er says that voa won't always die.
He says you will be "changed,
though. | don't know what tina,
MEANS"
"Neither do l )" says the worm
"But know, or feel, that am dy-
ing, and must hasten and get ready;
SO goodbye, little child We shall
Fever meet again!"
The worm moves on, climbs up
the bush, and there weaves sort of
shroud all around himself. There it
hangs on the bush, and the little
creature dies. The child goes home
and forsets all about it. The cold
whites comes and there hangs the
worm, frozen through and through,
all dead and buried. Will it ever
olive again?" Will it everbe chang
ed! Who would think it!
The storms, the SHOWS, and the
cold of winter 60 past. The warm
bright spring returns. The buds
swell, the bee begins to hum. and
grass TO grow green and beautiful.
The little child walks out again,
with his father, and says:
"Father, on that little bush hangs
the nest or house of a poor little
worm. 1t must be dead now. But
you said, one day, that such worms
would "be changed" What did
you mean? ldon't see any change
81 will show you in a few days. -
says the father.
He then carefully cuts the small
limb on which the worm hangs, and
carries it home. 1t looks like a lit
tie brown ball or cone, about as
large as robins egg. The father
hangs it in the warm window Of the
south room, where the sun may shine
on it. The child wonders what il
all means! Sure enough, in a few
days, hanging in the warm sun, the
little tomb begins to swell, and then
burst open and out it comes; not the
poor unsighily worm that was bur
led in if, but beautiful butterfly
The little child comes into the room
and claps his hand and cries.
"Oh! il is changed! it is changed
The worm is "changed" into beau
tiful butterfly! Oh father, how coul,
it be done!''

The Prince de JOinvilie PrOphesying
the ssProclamafi0nn

The Prince de Joinvie has just published in
the Paris Reuue DIES DsuJ Mondes an interesting
as well as very remarkable paper on the subject
OF the campaign he recently made. with his two
royal Eephews, by The side of Gen. Mcclellan.
At the close of the Princes narrative occurs the
following striking passage which we translate for
the edhcaton of those who thought the procla-
nation of the 22d of September would "help US
abroad:
IF the trnggle between the two sections now
IN arms should be prolonged, if The solution of
their gr Eat conflict should be much further post
poned, then evils of another character NAV
spring from il. Urged on by the passions aud
the necessities of the struggle, the Federal Gov
eminent may proclaim the abolition of slavery
and may even be impelled to employ terrible
means of carrying on the war by arming the
slaves against their masters. But such meas
ure. apart from it, features ofvioleuce and bar
barry, would be of no profit TO those who should
adopt it, 1t would lead to An irrepressible divi-
sion in the bosomS OF the Northern States. far
more beneficial than injurious To the Secession

voice from the Tomb.

In HAKvEYs Life of General FRANCIS MARION,
of Revolutionary memory. published in ls4s. the
author says that that grand old patriot made the
following remarkable declaration before his
death:
Ambitious demagogues will rise. and the peo-
pie. through ignorance and love OF change, will
follow them Vast armies will be formed and
bloody battles fought. And after desolating
their country with all the horrors Of civil war,
the guilty survivors will have to bend their necks
10 the iron yoke OF some stern u>urper and like
beasts OF burden to drag unpitied those CALLING
chains which they have riveted upon themselves
forever.
The people of the United States will, we con-
fdently hope. long continue to resist all usurpers,
whether they come 10 the disguise of Presidents,
Cabinet Ministers, insane members of Congress.
or military tyrants. While the ballot box and
free press youchsafed the citizens they will
take care that the Iron yoke" shall not be fas-
tenei upon their necks. The events of the last
few weeks have shown that the frantic tricks of
demagogues and the usurped power of those in
authority must have speedy end. The ror pop
uii has been heard throughout the land Will
our rulers heed that voice?

Our Republican friends are greatly Gained
down by the result of the elections in Ohio
Pennsylvania. and Indiana. Their rampage
against the rights OF the white race seems to
have come To dead halt and Democrats and
conservative Republicans are already considered
having rights which the Administration is
bound to respect. When the people vote against
bad measures and put their condemnation upon
''dsloyal practices, il has wonderful effect up
the temper Of our bad rulers. The ballot box
has music in il which soothes even the most oh
durate heart. Its majestic notes heard from
tile placid shores Of the Susquehannah to the tur
bid waters OF the Mississippi Let its glorious
strains roll on. IL is the melody of brave PEG
pie who are resolved that no "unlneal and bas-
tari" hand shall enslave those whom the truth
makes free. Thank Heaven for the regenerating
power of the ballot, Ii will save the nation and
expel the Boufbons from the Capitol.

the North. which. he announced had lust been
