What a proneness is noticeable on
the part of mankind, to fanlt the gov
eminent of mothers, for its want of
severity. "If were in his mothers
place, he would not come off SO well !"
81 would like to administer his pun
ishment, just once )" &C., are phrases
so common, that all have heard them.
Surely, the All-Wise implanted this
tenderness for our children in our
hearts, for good purpose. Like
begets like" and much of the tender
ness which shows itself in manhood,
has its origin in the early training of
a tender mother. How many genera
tons. let me ask. would it take to de-
velope perceptible increase of "hard-
ness of heart" could our children be
early turned over to the care of those
who would make them snsock," mere
ly for passtime?
Who is there among US, that has ar
rived at manhood or womanhood, that
does not, at times, experience a long,
ing for the tenderness that were law
ished upon us in childhood, by a moth
er?-an involuntary turning backward
toward the scenes of our early years,
where gentle, forbearing, and loving
mother must ever occupy the first
place. We can look up to, and reve-
renee, the calm, stately, thoughtful
father; but not into our very " hearts
of hearts" does he enter, as the moth
err does: for this place she was fitted
by nature, aad this place she will ever
hold. II is this fact alone, that could
cause multitudes to burst forth into
spontaneous scclamations, upon hear
ing My Mother, Dear" sung for the
first time. 1t was this last that caused
the Ohio soldier, when dying on the
battlefield, to exclaim, "I 1t grows
dark, mother, very dark !" The ever
present image of mother, was the last
to fade from his mind. Though other
forms were around him, none were so
readily recognized as this one image,
enshrined within his "heart of hearts -
Bow often do we see the hardened
criminal in his cell, who has witbstood
everything that could be brought to
bear upon his feelings, melt at the bare
mention Of his mother, and pour forth
his soul in bitter tears and regrets, for
the innocence that overshadowed him
when a child at her knee. 1t is her
perfect love, mirrored forth in gentle
ness aud forbearance, that enables the
mother to control her hayward and
willful boy, who refuses obedience to
the fathers sternly expressed com.
mands, and despite all the prophecies
to the contrary, rear him to an honor
able manhood. Oh, the world could
lily spare the tender mothers, although
they are SO little appreciated. Man
kind will continue to find fanlt with
mothers tor their want Of severity and
mothers must inevitably continue to
trust to forbearance and gentleness, for
it is the natural offshoot of her perfect
love. SALLIE.

Many persons are in the habit of taking Salts.
Seidlitz Water, Magnesia, &C., to regulate their
bowels. This is erroneous. They succeed in OBJ

remain to torture and vex you. You do not ad-
vance one step towards a cure? and the continued
use of these evacuants are apt to accumulate and

the secretions in healthy condition, and cure the
worst cases of dyspepsia, indigestion costiveness,

take from one to three; if a brisk and thorough
passage is desired, take from four to six.

Ayers Sarsaparilla

is compounded from the most effectual anti
dotes that medical science has discovered for
this affecting distemper and for the cure OF the
disorders it entails. That it is far superior to
any other remedy yet devised, is known by all
who have given it trial. That it does COM
bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect
upon this class of complaints, is indisputably
proven by the great multitude of publicly
known and remarkable cures it has made of
the following diseases Kings Evil or
Clandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup-
tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Fry.
sipelas. Rose or st. Anthony's Fire, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tn.
berculous deposits in the lungs, White
Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia,
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and
syphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases,
Female Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whole
series of complaints thai arise from impurity
Of the blood. Minute reports of individual
cases may be found in AYERS American
ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and some Of
the remarkable cures which it has made when
all other remedies had failed to afford relief.
Those cases are purposely taken from all sec
tons of the country, in order that every reader
may have access to some one who can speak to
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus
leaves its victims far more subject to disease
and its fatal results than are healthy constitu-
lions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. The vast importance of these considera-
tions has led US to spend years in perfecting
remedy which is adequate to its cure. This
we now offer to the public under the name of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, although it is COM
posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the
best of Sdrsaparild in alternative power. By
its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer-
ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out
the foul corruptions that rot and tester in the
blood; purge out the causes of disease, and
vigorous health will follow. BY its peculiar
virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func-
tons, and thus expels the distempers which
Turk within the system or burst out on any
part of it.
We know the public have been deceived by
many compounds of .Sarsaparilla, that promised
much and did nothing; but they will neither be
deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues
have been proven by abundant trial, and there
remains no question of its surprising excellence
for the cure of the affecting diseases it is in
tended to reach. Although under the Same
name, it is a very different medicine from any
other which has been before the people, and is
far more effectual than any other which has
ever been available to them.

contamination is variously caused Dy nerc cM
disease, low living, disordered digestion from
unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy
habits, the depressing vices, and, above all, By
the venereal infection. Whatever be its origin,
it is hereditary in the constitution, descending
" from parents to children unto the third ana
fourth generation :" indeed, it seems to be the
rod of Him who says, at will visit the inigni-
ties of the fathers upon their children" The
diseases which it originates take various names,
according to the organs it attacks. In the
lungs, Scrofula produces tubercles, and fiI.slly
Consumption; in the glands, swellings which
suppurate and become ulcerous sores in the
stomach and bowels, arrangements which pro-
duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver COM
affections. These all having the same origin,
require the same remedy, viz. publication and
IMMIGRATION of the blood. Purify the blood,
and these dangerous distempers leave You.
