The NEW YORK HERALD AND THE
PLAYERs.-The,war between the New
York Herald and the theatrical and on.
cratic force of that metropolis has not
yet reached an end. There is no pros.
pect OF an armistice even as far as we
can see, between the belligerent forces.
one OF the New York journals claims
indeed, that the Herald has sI,ffaraJ
severe punishment, and is, finapcialIv
much damaged. From this account We
should judge that the opposite party had
got MIR. Benefits venerable head i'm
chancery, and had considerably spoiled
its provervial beauty. We are DISPOSED
however, to receive this statement with
some doubt. There is a good deal of vi.
tally in the New York Herald. and no
contest with so long aud heavy a nurse
can be short, sharp, and decisive. The
veteran of that journal has had too

Brother Soldiers and Sailors hororabiy- dis
charged from tho Army and Navy u tho
United States:
l. 1t has como to our knowledge that
many honorably discharged soldiers
and sailors, who have served through
the whole or a portion OF the war Tor
the suppression of the rebellion, are
selling or offering for sale their dis
charges. 4
We desire to express our sorrow
and chagrin that any ofour late broth
ers in arms are willing, for few dol
lars, to sell the certificates of the part
they have performed in saving our
Beloved country from perishing; in
preserving to people and to their
posterity the precious legacy of Lib
erty transmitted by our fathers.
We beg you to consider well, the
importance that your Discharge or
Discharges viii be to each of you
through life. 1t is the only evidence
you possess of having served through
your term with honor untinged or
unblotted by any disgraceful or cow
ardly act; it will ever be q pass 20
you to obtain honest and honorable
employment or position in the walks
of civil life; it is the only voucher
which enables you to claim or receive
from time to time, such benefits and
blessings as free and grateful peo
pie, through their Congress, coun
try's savors, particularly in their old
age.
We respectfully recommend tc
each and every one of you to have
your Discharge or Discharges re
corded in the County Clerks Office
of the county wherein you reside, 81
that in the event of the loss of you
Discharge in any manner, there vii
be recorded evidence of the same.

What Is Poetry.

A smile, n tear, longing after
things of eternity! 1t lives in all ere
ated existence, in man and every oh
ject that surrounds him. There is po.
etry in the gentle influence of love
and affection; in the quiet broodings
of the soul over the memories of ear
ly years, and in thoughts of that
glory, which claims our spirits to
The gates OF paradise. There is po-
etry, too, in the harmonies ofnature,
1t glitters in the wave, the rainbow,
the tightening and the stars its ca.
dence is heard in the thunder of the
cataract; its softer tones go sweetly
up from the thousand voice bards oil
the wind, the rivulet and forest; and
the cloud and sky go floating over us
to the music of its melodies. There
is not q moonlight ray that comes
down upon the stream or hill, not 8
breeze, calling from its blue air
thrown to the birds of the summer
valleys, or sounding through mid
night rains its low and mournful
dirgc over the perisling flower OF
spring--not cloud bathing itself
like an angel vision in the rosy blushes
of autumn twilight,--nor a rock,
glowing in the yellow starlight, as IL
dreaming of the Eden land, but is
full of the beautiful radiance OF
poetry. 1t is the soul of Being
The earth and heaven are quickened
by Its spirit, and the heavens OF
the great deep, in the tempest and
the calm, are but its ascent and mys-
terious workings. Prentice

SYM PTOM s.

The symptoms of Catarrh are at first very
shght. Persons find they have a cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more sem
sitive TO the changes of temperature. In this
condition the nose may be dry, or a slight dis
charge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
AS the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increased in quantity and changed
in quality; they are now thick and heavy, and
are hawlsed or coughed off, The secretions
are offensive, causing bad breath; the voice
thick and nasal; the eyes are weak the sense
Of smell Is lessened or destroyed; deafness
frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom of
Catarrh is, that the person is obliged to clear
his throat in the morning of thick or Shiny
mucous, which has fallen from the head dur
ing the night. When this takes place, the
person may be sure that his disease is on it's
way TO the lungs, and should lose no time in
arresting it.
The above are but few of the many Catarrh-
al symptoms. Write to our Laboratory for
our pamphlet describing fully all symptoms;
1t will be sent FREE to any address. Also
directions where to procure the medicine.
We are daily receiving letters from soldiers
in the army, and others in ali parts of the Un-

those using it, bearing evidence Of its infllli
ole merits.
This Remedy contains NO MINERAL OR
