upon this class of complaints, is indisputably
proven, BY the great multitude Of Publicly

cases may be. found in AYERS AMERIoAH
-ALMASAc, which is furnished to the druggists
for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be
learned the directions for its use, and sonne 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

may have access to some one who can speak 70
him of its benefits from personal experience.
Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus
leaves Its victims far moro subject to disease
and ito fatal results than are healthy constitu;
tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does
greatly shorten, the average duration of human
life. The vast Importance of these considers
tons 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 il 10 COM

its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer-
ing and danger of these disorders. .nuree out
the foul corruptions that rot and fester, IN the
blood; purge out the causes Of disease, and

virtues this remedy stimulates the vital func-

The "Heresy" of JEFF. Davis,
From the Richmond Wing, Nov. 10.


We have been accustomed to think in this
Southern country that the best friends of the
negroes were their own masters; and that we
were bound to Withstand the cruel philanthro-
py of Yankee craftsmanship, not only by con-
stitutional principle and State pride, but also
by our duty towards those creatures who
grew up under our care. The sad destiny of
those slaves whom Yankees have stolen or
otherwise liberated" has satisfied US still
more clearly that commonah humanity required
us to stand between our negro population
and the tender mercies, which are cruel, of
their false and perilous Northern friends.--
Most Southern men, too, had battered them
selves that it was blessing to the used.up
and worn-out negro, at the end of his faith
full service, to have kind master to take
care of him. But now the President of the
Confederate States opens quite another view
hof the matter. According to his message, it
is rich reward for faithful service to turn
negro wild. Slavery, then, in the eyes of
Mr.. Davis, keeps the negro out of something
which he has capacity to enjoy; it depresses
him below the level to which nature has given
him powers to attain; it hinders the develop
'ment Of his faculties for good it forbids his
pursuit of happiness. If the case be so, then
slavery is originally, radically, vincurably
wrong anu anu Tue SUN Ol Ill DdFDdF-
ism. This is what Seward and Sumner say:
and this is what Mr.. Davis says after them.
They invoked the Federal Congress to dis
courage and discountenance slavery i'll the
Territories; he invites the Confederate Con-
gress to consider the expediency of begin
ming to abolish it in the States. sf
This will never do. The slightest counte.
nance given to those unwholesome notions
may produce worse effects than can be at
once perceived. Not only our invading en-.
emies, but those foreign nations which are
watching our struggle with keen interest viii
be greatly struck by the suggestion of the
message, and will look on curiously to see
how Congress and the countr7 Twill deal with
pie in our resistance to Federal usurpation-
to Judge whether our zeal for State rights,
and our theory of the justice and benefcence
of slavery, were nothing but dishonest sham
all the while; and whether the Northern
people and ourselves are not, in fact, after
all our fighting, one homogeneous people.
one in our principles, or want of principle
one in our political and social theories-one
in our tricky ways-all slippery Yankees to-
getheEo asAls.v se8 q ~fa ssi9 r-sss
Whatever respect for the Confederacy has
been impressed on the mind of European ma
tions--whatever desire now exists amongst
the best of their people to see US recognized
by the world. and to give our forms of civil
cation fair play and an open field to develop
what good may be in it-all such feelings
would be extinguished at once if the theories
OF the message should now be entertained.

BROWNING AND TENNYsoS.-How marked
are the differences between the new volume
of the Laureate and the "Dramatis Persona"
of Mr.. Browning They show why the for
mer draws his pipe of wine, or the communal
ton thereof, from the British Treasury; while
the other still supplies himself at the vint-
ners. Simplicity and level sentiment, fine
and noble vein, characterize the Laureate.
Mr.. Browning is not less fine and noble, but
he has subtilty which loves to set forth ex-
ceptional moods and characters. He does
trulyset them forth, Notwithstanding that his
style is so chary of words, his sentences SO
clipped of explosives and the ordinary con-
junctive helps to the reader. Tennyson gives
you his plain roast and boiled. A baron of
beef always heads his board. Browning puts
up his pemmican, and you sometimes find it
troublesome to force the can But an ounce
of it nourishes the brain all day. You can
travel on it like Peruvian Indians on their
cocoa. He does not involve or swathe his
thought, so that after undoing furlongs of
wrappers, you find mummy, very well kept
and entirely superfuous. But he breads lest
his thought should be concealed in dlution
of words, so that the reader would have to
swim to take it in, with mouth wide open, as
whale swims a league to get his lunch of
squids Neither does Mr., Tennyson dilute
his rare and gentle feeling, but it is detached
from him in equable pulsations, and does not
leap in concentrated sparks. Mr.. Browning's
emotion accumulates till the act of expression
is like the return of electric fluid to an equi-
ibrium. SMILES of half a page closely
packed, flash to their period. Nervous lines
are the boiling down of an ordinary paragraph.
And when this subtle action does not move,
as it often disdains to do, upon the ordinary
meridians of the earth's surface, but follows
aerial currents, both painting time and
readers toll after him in vain. Is it that
there is too little time, or not enough of the
reader The insinuation is excusable, since
Mr. Browning has written things that are
cherished by great and ever increasing au-
dience thatloyes his manliness, sincerity and
power.
. In reading Mr. Browning, one often misses
precious thought, or very delicate and sub
tie fancy, because the attention flags from its
last effort. In climbing the steep face of
cliff, one does not notice the first time all the
flowers. In reading Mr.. Tennyson, rare places
are slipped over by accident, their style is so
smooth and so unobtrusive. A watt of some
thing sweet and healthy just makes you turn
back, and the violet touches in the grass, not
hid nor unwilling to be gathered. Enoch
Arden" end "Aylmer's Field" are full of these
meadow glories. They have so little trouble
and make so little parade in growing, that the
reader does not always think to stoop. If he
goes striding on, as the fashion is in modern
books, he misses star-shaped and lightly
tinted petals that nod on slender STEMS

USELESS YsUNG LADIEs.-Ai contemporary
thus seriously speaks of that yery,large class
of useless young ladies who glory in being
above useful employment: FH
The number of idle; useless girls in all our
large cities seems to be steadily increasing.
They lounge or sleep through heirmornings,
parade the streets during the afternoon, and
assemble in frivolous companies of their own
and the other sex to pass away their evenings.
What store of unhappiness for themselves
and others are they laying up for the coming
time, when real duties and high responsible
ties shall be- thoughtlessly assumed. They
are skilled in no domestic duties-nay, they
despise them; they have no habit of industry
nor taste for the useful What will they be
as wives and mothers7 Alas for the hus-
bands and children, alas for themselves -
Who can wonder if domestic unhappiness and
domestic ruin follows? sad

WHAF1s ART ?-I have heard many defni-
tions of art, but / know, on the whole, no
better one than this: to do faithfully what
we do. Anything, done perfectly well, be-
comes a. work of art. Anything, finished
thoroughly in all its details, affects the mind
as art and any high or beautiful work, thor
oughly done, becomes fine art. 1t is the per-
feet finish cfpoetry, theexact proportion Of ar
chitecture, the regular meditation of music,
the delicate precision of painting and sculpture
which make them all works Of art. Anything
which can be done in slovenly way, where
a little more or less makes no ditference,i is
not art. Shoveling gravel, or digging pota-
toes, cannot pc carried to that precision, and
SO cannot become works of art.-.Ianaes Free
