SYM PTOM s.

The symptoms of Catarrh are at hrst very
slight. 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
inquality; they are now thick and heavy. and
are hawlfed or coughed off. The secretions
ara offensive, causing bad breath; the voice
thick and nasal; the eyes are weak: the sense
of smell Is lessened or destroyed; deafness
frequently taxes place.
Another common and important symptom of
Catarrh is, that the person is obliged TO clear
his throat in the morning of a thicr 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 its
way to the lungs, and should lose no time in
arresting it,

al symptoms. Write TO our Laboratory for

~ We advise the people to re-
ceive the reports from Mexico. paint
ing the attractions of that country in
glowing colors, with caution. Most of
those who write them, we are satisfied,
would be glad if they were safe back in
this country again. We are often
asked for information, and we will
sum up what we find to be the tenor of
our private correspondence in that
country. This correspondence en-
braces some of the worthiest men
among the exiles.
The Temperate Country, in which
the colony Of Cordova is situated. is. on
many accounts, the most delightful in
the world. The climate is perpetual
spring, the thermometer going neither
below nor above comfortable range.
The soil is rich. The productions
range through the entire circle Of trop-
ical fruits and drops. Oranges grow
wild; so do lemons, guavas. cocoa-nuts
bananas, etc., etc. The coffee plant is
easily cultivated. sugar cane grows to
perfection. Cotton can be produced in
endless quantity. Naturally, nothing
could be more desirable, This is the
picture the published letters always
give. The other parts of the story are
always left out.
4 friend writes US that they arc sur
rounded by debased, half savage race
of thieves and robbers. Another states
that the better class of Mexieans re-
CARDS Macmillan as usurper. None
look to see peace, at longest, beyond
the time of his life. All regard mon
archy with disgust, and they say that
whatever we here may want of freedom,
our condition is far better than theirs.
We could, ifproper, give much more
information of this character. What
we have said is enough. We trust that
those who are longing so for Mexican
homes will think twice before going
there. Let them take our word for it,
and stay at least where there is some
prospect of freedom some time in the
future, rather than go where order
forever reigns only by the aid of mer-
cenary bayonets.-[H Houston Tele-

~ In response to the inquiry of a
lady correspondent, the editor of the
La Crosse wis Democrat gives the
following definition of the term ''dar-
ling"
"A Darling, as We should speak the
word, would mean very dear, good,
heart-loved girl or wolaan, who held
the innermost place in our heart. She
would be woman loved above all else
in the world-a woman we should de-
fend before all mankind-a woman
whose lips were those of truth and sa-
credness-whose happiness aman could
live fora woman u man would be
proud ola woman you could put 20 ur
arm in gentleness around, draw to your
heart, press u kiss TO her forehead.
and one on her lips, and as her head
half rested on your shoulder look deep
into her eyes and whisper Darling!
She would be woman in whom we had
all the confidence in the world-one a
man would be proud to make happy
and whose pride would be in her hus-
bands success, happiness, reputation;
her own good name, her person. her
friendships, her house and the purity
of her heart. Darling" means every
thing-words unspoken: carresses
ripening for love to feed on-vrlumes

tunities; hopes unexprpssed, faith UNI

the flower which beauties. the tree
that bears the most delicious fruit in

means more than one can express; the
clasping of the spirit hands of love in
heart worship of the true and good; the
word rainbow which spans the sky of
hope and life; the bursting of the bud of
the most beautiful flower which sheds
a perfume over the hearts of those who
love.

A MARTYR TO PRINCIPLE.-In Au
gust, 1861, at time when abolition
murderers, thieves, and soounarels all
over the North were mobbing Demo
Gratis and destroying printing offices in
the name of "loyalty," the Democratic
Standard. published in New Hampshire
was attacked by band Of fanatieal
enemies of free speech. A brief de-
Tense was made by its editor, Mr.. Pal
mer. aided by his brother Thomas, but
without avail. The latter received in
juries in the breast from which he suf-
fered four years of pain and sickness,
until death, on the 26th ult., put an end
to his sorrow, and called him home to q
land where neither abolitionists trou-
BILE. or ''loyalists" break through and
steal. Peace to his memory. To die
in defence of a glorious principle and
in vindication of the right Of a free
press to print the truth without fear or
favor, is to win Immortality and to live
long enough.-[La Crosse (Wis.)

~ A Western paper complains Of
the inemcisncy and want of spirit of
the Congressman from its district. he
has not made single long speech and
has not even proposed an amendment
to the Constitution.-rEx.
The burlesque is we'll justified. Time
was when the Constitution was consid-
cred if not sacred thing yet at least
as an established fact. Only men of
the highest eminence in the country
could propose amendments to it with
out presumption; and of all others only
those whose obscurity protected them
could present such propositions with
out general ridicule. Now, however,
men without capacity to comprehend
the plainest principles of statesman
ship OF even to draft an oyster bill, are
brimful of constitutional amendments.
The explanation is that Congress has
fallen into the hands of faction who
have resolved into party convention
for the purpose of turning the Consti-
tuition into a partizan platform, and
thus establishing their own sway
The exhibition is truly humiliating.

New ENGLAND PULPITs.-Tti is re-
ported that not less than 800 pulpits il
New England are vacant for the wanr
of proper support, and that 800 are SC
poorly supported as TO yield bare
subsistence to the clergy. In Con.
nechcut, last year, according to the
independent, over one one-fifth of all
these pastors were dismissed, and only
eleven ordained! We trace a good
deal of this religious apathy and indif.
ference to the radical politics which
have been proclaimed from the New

in the palpit are rs much out of place
