ADVICE TO You've MEN.--Let the bu:iness of
every one alone and attend to your own. Don't
buy what you don't want. Use every hour TO
advantage, and study to make leisure hour use
iul. Think twice before you spend dollar ;
remember you will have another to make for it,
Look over your books regularly, and if you find
an error trace it out Should stroke of mis-.
fortune come upon you in your business, retrench.
work harder, but never fly the track Contsoss
difficulties with unfinching perseverance, and
they will fly at last then you will be honoyed,
but shrink, and you will be despised.

TO CURE
Chronic and AcMte Diseases
The subject of disease, of both sexes, all ages
and every condition, who have long heard o.
the wonderful curative powers of this great
remedial agent, but have'been unable o obtain
it, will rejoice to know that arrangements have
finally been effected by which its preparation
in future will be equal to the rapidly increas
ing demand.
The great purifier of the blood and regenera
tor of the human system-Infalliblei in the cure
of Chronic Diseases, Scrofula, Rheumatism
Eruptions, Erysipelas, Swellings, Putrid or Ul-
cerated Throat, letter, Fistula, Piles. Syphili-
tic and Mercurial Diseases, Stomach and Liver
complaints, affection Of the Kidneys, and will
restore debilitated manhood and womanhood
to the freshness and elasticity of youth.
Ns- PLEASE TAKE NOTICE. -eA
This preparation is no new upstart, but was
discovered more than century ago, and the
original receipt has been in the possession OF
Mrs. DIR. J. B. Stoddard for period of twenty
years, during which time it has effected some
of the most astonishing cures ever recorded
The great misfortune with the preparation has
been, that in consequence of its vegetable char
acter, it could only be prepared for immediate
use for those who would call in person or send
for it, as its virtues would be lost by fermenta-
ton in forty ght hours after being prepared
unless alcohol or minerals were introduced in
to its composition but that difficulty has been
surmounted without recourse to either and il
is now for the first time presented to the world
in all its original purity and extraordinary vir-
tues, and will retain them any number years
in any climate on the globe.

The Next Democratic State Con-
vcntiOn-The Time Fixed.

Our special dispatch from Columbus this
morning announces that the Democratic
State Central Committee, which met in
that city yesterday, have designated the
7th day Of July as the time for holding the
next Democratic State Convention.
The disJatch does not state the grounds
on which the QomiaAittee were induced to
prefer this day to the 9Th of January, but
we can readily infer from circumstances,
that they had reference to important issues
the winter, and by the incoming Adminiss
tration. on which it may be necessary to
put forth some authoritative and unequivo-
cal expression. These considerations will,
doubtless, reconcile many to the change
who would have preferred to adhere to the
time. honored custom Of the party in hold
ing its State Conventions ON the Sth Of
